《Unpredictable Marriage.》


 Chapter 1 - Chen Lihua is left speechless.

    "Hua''er hua''er come quickly, come and see something important that will sweep you off your feet". Chen Lihua''s mother, Chen Ju enters the house while calling Chen Lihua. She enters the living room while giving her bag to the Butler. Butler Li drops her bag on the table in the living room while waiting for further instructions.


    "Butler Li send someone to call Lihua, tell her it''s urgent". Madam Chen seats on the sofa while aunt Zin the house keeper gets a glass of water for her from the water dispenser in the dining room. Madam Chen drinks half of the water and keeps the glass cup on the table.


    Bultler Li sees a young maid walking in from outside and relays the message to call the young miss Chen.


    The maid goes upstairs and knocks on Chen Lihua''s door gently. Chen Lihuas who was working with her laptop responds, "who''s there?"


    The maid replied "young Miss, Madam Chen is back and request your presence, she says it is urgent".


    Chen Lihua sighs and goes to meet her mother thinking about what has caught her mother''s interest this time around.


    On seeing Lihua, madam Chen drags her hand and makes her sit on the left side of the sofa close to her. She hands over a file to her saying, "Hua''er I have been waiting for you since, take a look at this file". Lihua opens the file and sees a picture of a handsome young man in a black tuxedo, he had a slight smile on his face while holding a wine glass, he seems to be talking to another older man.


    "Lady Chen what is this?" Lihua points to the file on her laps.


    "Good girl, I was waiting for you to ask me". Madam Chen smiles and points at the file on Lihua''s lap. "He is Liu Longwei, the CEO of the Liu Group, he''s 30 years old this year and he will officially be your husband tomorrow morning being Friday at exactly 12pm, He''s the specimen I... "


    "Lady Chen!" Lihua cuts off madam Chen''s speech, standing up, she asks "What on this planet earth do you think you''re doing, are you trying to matchmake me now?"


    "Ah!" Madam Chen exclaims sadly saying "Sweetheart you know you''re my only child, I was only trying to make a good choice for you. You know your father didn''t treat me well when he was alive, so I was trying to get the best husband for you".


    Lihua sighs and seats back down dropping the file on the table, she hugs her mother''s left arm and leans on her shoulder affectionately and says "Mum I know, how could I forget how he treated you. I trust your judgement that you will choose the best suitor in the world for me since you''ve been through a lot in the past, and I believe you''re experienced". Lihua smiles and lifts her head looking at her mother. "And you taught me that experience is the best teacher"


    "Yes!" Madam Chen exclaims raising her right arm like ''(the Koreans when they are supporting somebody, they raise their arms saying fighting)''. "That''s my daughter, I know you''ll listen to me. Once you get married, the entire Chen company will be merged with the Liu Group secretly because I don''t want the public to know about it for now until my retirement. The board of directors have approved of it since you won''t be inheriting the company and also with your marriage to Liu Longwei, the company is in safe hands and will be managed properly".


    "So, I will remain the CEO of Chen group on the surface till my retirement while Liu Longwei manages everything behind closed doors".


    Chen Lihua leans away from her mother and taps her hands. "Okay lady Chen I''ve heard you, so tell me how you came to know of Liu Longwei and how you got him to agree with all these". Chen Lihua says pointing back at the file.


    Madam Chen pats her daughter''s head with a mysterious smile on her face. "Actually, Longwei.. " Chen Lihua widens her eyes at the mention of Longwei.


    Chen Longwei: Since when did Lady Chen start calling Liu Longwei so affectionately.


    Madam Chen continues with her gist oblivious to her daughter''s facial expression. "is the Son to one of my friends Liu Biyu I met a year ago. About a month ago, she chatted me up complaining about her son still being single at 30 and asked me if you were dating and of course I said no. She then decided on you to be her daughter in-law".


    "But lady Chen, did Liu Longwei agree to all of these?" Liuwei ask still confused.


    "Of course he did, he had a deal with his mother to marry anybody she introduces to him if he doesn''t marry before he clocks 30. So, his mother Liu Biyu talked about you with him 2 weeks ago and then, he saw two of your pictures this evening because I had dinner with him and Biyu. After the dinner and a little discussion about you and the company, he decided to collect the marriage certificate tomorrow because he''s going on a business trip for a month".


    Lihua tugs at her mother''s hand frowning "Lady Chen you would have at least allowed me to tag along, by the way, am the one marrying him and I needed to see him physically and access him".


    Madam Chen chuckled and replied "The marriage and business deal hasn''t been finalized at that time, what were you supposed to be meeting him for?". Pinching Lihua''s cheeks with her two hands, she smiles "Hua''er don''t worry, I chose the best husband and son in-law for us. And you don''t need to panic at all, I have already accessed him on your behalf after all, you''ve seen his picture and will also see him tomorrow. You can just take the file with you to your room and read his biography".


    Chen Lihua is left speechless. ''what does lady Chen mean by pinching my cheeks?.


    Lihua removes her mother''s hands from her cheeks while replying "Lady Chen why do I feel like you admire him more than you admire me?. You really need to see your face, you have been smiling since you started talking about this marriage".


    "Of course not, how can I abandon my Lily ". (Lily is Lihua''s nickname given to her by her late maternal grandmother). Madam Chen denies the allegation completely forgetting to hide the obvious smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua is left speechless again on seeing the smile on her mother''s face. ''Is this woman joking with me, how can she be lying so blatantly right in my face, she didn''t even try to hide her smile''. Shaking her head, she had no choice than to agree with her mother. "Lady Chen, I believe you ".


    Madam Chen looks at her wrist watch on seeing that the time is 7:30pm, she exclaims. "Ah! Hua''er you can go ahead and have your dinner without me, I have had my dinner already. I still have to chat with my friends on our group chat, and it''s late already. So, goodnight". Madam Chen pecks Lihua''s forehead. While smiling, she stands up and leaves for her room.

 Chapter 2 - Receiving a call from the CEO of Liu Group, "Liu Longwei".

    Seeing her mother walking away, Chen Lihua sighs. She''s just 22 years old. The only genuine reason she agreed to this marriage was because she trust her mother''s judgement. Her parents marriage gave her negative feelings. Her father didn''t treat her mother well. You can as well say her father has no respect for women.


    Her father used to insult, punish and flog her mother with his belt. She watched all this while growing up and this gave her a slight psychological trauma.


    Because of her parents marriage, she started to think about her future husband. She already had in mind that if her future husband should for one day lay his hands on her, that will be the end of the marriage but if he refuses to divorce her, she will kill him by poisoning him to death.


    Lihua recalls the story her paternal grandmother told her about her father.


    Lihua''s father once slapped his mother(her paternal grandmother) when she(paternal grandmother) hit him on his arm because he was beating his only sister.


    Lihua was very young when this incident happened and she remembered bits of it but she taught who her father slapped was her aunty, aunt Lin not knowing it was her grandmother. So, she was shocked when her grandmother retold the story and found out her grandmother was slapped instead of her Aunt.


    Chen Lihua''s conclusion was that, ''If a man could slap his own mother, beat his biological sister, what more would he do when gets married?, he will eventually mistreat his wife and children''.


    So, after learning of her father''s past she wasn''t surprised anymore about his character. She didn''t cry on her father''s burial, but she was in fact secretly happy as she taught that no one will ever torture her mother again.


    "Young Miss" Chen Lihua pulls herself out of her taught as she looks up to see the house keeper ''aunt Zin'' looking at her.. "dinner is ready and has been set on the dining table for you". Chen Lihua smiles "Aunt Zin thank you". "No troubles young miss" aunt Zin smiles and leaves with the glass cup left by Madam Chen on the table.


    Chen Lihua leaves the living room and goes to the dining room 5 seconds after Aunt Zin left the living room.


    Chen Lihua sits on the dining chair and enjoys the meal of Bird nest soup with sea food as per her request. After finishing her dinner, she took the plates to the kitchen and washed them personally. Having done that, she went back to her room to continue working with her laptop. As a cardiologist, she has to browse to gain more knowledge in other to take care and understand her patients illnesses and diseases and also to get equipped with more advanced facilities and health care and also for surgeries.


    While working on her computer, she hears a strong knock on her door, as if knowing the culprit, the door swings open. "Hua''er are you busy?" Madam Chen goes into the spacious room with a beautiful yellow painting, she takes a peep to know what Chen Lihua is doing, upon seeing her working on her computer, she knew her Hua''er must be working on something important.


    "Hua''er, I forgot to tell you that I gave your contact to Longwei So, he will call you any moment from now so that you two can know more about each other and he will also give you some important information".


    "Okay Mum, you can go back to your room and continue chatting with your friends". Chen Lihua stands up from the chair and pushes her mother gently towards the door "and thanks for telling me about it before I supposedly embarrass myself".


    After sending her mother outside the door, she shuts her door and locks it sighing in relief.


    Outside the door of Chen Lihua''s room, madam Chen stood there for a while wondering if she annoyed her daughter for her to be driven out of her room. After pondering over the little matter for a while, she shakes her head in denial before going back to her room to continue her chat with her friends.


    Inside Chen Lihua''s room, Chen Lihua goes back to sit on the chair before continuing with her work. After working for 30 more minutes, she shuts her laptop down standing up, she walks to her little walk-in closet, because she doesn''t have lots of clothings, she takes a black coloured hair net and used it to cover her hair, as it is one of her hair care routine so that her hair won''t fall out by the time she wakes up in the morning. Chen Lihua doesn''t joke with her long black silky waist length hair, as it is of great importance to her and one of the things that compliments her beauty.


    Chen Lihua walks back to the room, on picking her phone and the file on Liu Longwei from the table, she walks to her bed, pulling the blanket on the bed, she sits down on the bed and covers her her legs with it, she then adds another pillow to one she is relaxing her back on and opens the file she stares at the man''s face for a while admiring his beauty, she flips over to the next page and starts reading his biography. While reading the biography, she saw most of his achievements and admired him more.


    Immediately she finished going through the file, she stretched her hand and dropped the file on the night stand before moving the two pillows at her back to the other side of the bed and layed down covering her body with it. As soon as her head hits the bed, her phone started ringing. Looking at her phone, she sees a series of an unfamiliar number. She makes a guess of who the person is.


    Although she gazed at phone with indifference, but deep down her heart, she was anticipating on the voice and attitude of the caller.


    She accepts the call and hears a deep male voice over the line and it is exactly her type. "Hello am Liu Longwei, am I speaking with Miss Chen Lihua?". "yes, am Chen Lihua" Chen Lihua answers with her natural melodic voice.


    On the other side of the line, In Liu Longwei''s study, Liu Longwei was tapping a pen continuously on the table while making the call, but on hearing Chen Lihua''s melodic voice, his hand which was holding the pen hanged on mid-air for a moment before continuing his previous action.


    "How was your day?" the moment those words escaped from Liu Longwei''s lips, he regretted it. He started wondering when he became so concerned about other people.


    While on Chen Lihua''s side, she got surprised by the sudden concern from him, but she still answered him, "My day went smoothly".


    "Ok, I called to talk a little with you as we are going to collect our marriage certificate tomorrow even though we don''t know each other well enough to get married and this is also our first time speaking with each other, I still taught it was right for me to call. Is that OK with you Miss Chen Lihua?" If Liu Longwei''s assistant, ''assistant Duyi'' was there to hear his boss speak so much all at once, he would have checked his boss''s temperature to know if he had a high fever and to know if the fever had his brain fried.


    But, only Liu Longwei knew the reason he said so much at once. He did that because he felt a little guilty towards Chen Lihua. She is his wife to be and he felt that he should at least explain to her and ask for permission to continue the little discussion.


    Chen Lihua was surprised again: don''t most business men speak a little towards strangers?.

 Chapter 3 - Not letting Chen Lihua interrupt him with a question, he continued.

    "It''s OK, it''s just that I didn''t expect you to care. You are really different from what I imagined".


    On hearing Chen Lihua''s words, Liu Longwei curled his lips and asked in a surprised voice "What did you imagine me as?"


    Chen Lihua was taken about by the question because she didn''t imagine that a whole CEO of a billion dollar company will care about the thoughts she had about him but nevertheless, she still replied in a calm manner.


    "I thought you will be cold towards me and not care about my thoughts or bother trying to know me at all. I thought all these things will be meaningless to you since you have a big company to run and millions of employees working under, I already thought since you had a big burden to shoulder, you wouldn''t care about any other thing apart from your business and trying to make profits".


    On hearing Chen Lihua''s words, Liu Longwei let out a soft laugh. He really didn''t expect to hear those words from Chen Lihua, he didn''t expect her to go all out in saying what she had in mind and what she thought about him.


    Chen Lihua was surprised to hear him laugh, she decided to wait for him to finish laughing before asking. "Why are you laughing, did I say something funny?".


    When Liu Longwei heard Chen Lihua''s question, he stopped laughing but he still had a smile on his lips, "Yes your words are funny. Although your thoughts about me are true but, you are an exception because you my wife to be and it won''t be proper for me to bring my cold blooded business side into a relationship and besides, I want you to feel relaxed whenever we are together. You know, first impression matters".


    After listening to Liu Longwei''s explanation, Chen Lihua understood something, Liu Longwei didn''t deny that he didn''t care about anybody, she finally grasped the meaning behind his words.


    Although he didn''t care about anything that won''t bring profit to his business, he still cared about their relationship, which means he also cared about her in a way.


    "I understand your point Mr Liu Longwei, thanks for the interest you have shown to this relationship"


    Liu Longwei stands up from the chair and moves to sit in a comfortable position on the sofa in his study room.


    "There''s nothing to thank me for Miss Chen Lihua, I care about this relationship because it is my future so, I have to care about it and groom it"


    Crossing his legs, Liu Longwei raised his right hand and placed it on the sofa''s arm, he continued the discussion.


    "We will be collecting our marriage certificate tomorrow by 12 pm and after that, we will go on a date Since I''ll be traveling on Saturday morning for a business trip".


    Not letting Chen Lihua interrupt him with a question, he continued. "The reason for the date is for us to use the little time I have left before the business trip to talk more since the business trip is for a month and not just getting the marriage certificate and departing awkwardly".


    After pondering over what Liu Longwei said, Chen Lihua let out a sigh. Honestly speaking, she thought Liu Longwei was being so thoughtful and was putting in an effort for their relationship to work while she did not think much of their relationship at the moment.


    The only time that she can try to put in an effort in their relationship is when she has understood him well enough.


    Because her parents relationship really left a scar on her. Even though she knew all men were not the same, she didn''t want to put any effort towards this relationship so as not be disappointed.


    She has already agreed with her self that she wont let any man mistreat her or turn her into a punching bag no matter the caliber of the man.


    That is why she worked hard to be so successful and independent so that she won''t have to depend on any man for anything.


    Her success today was as a result of the promise she made to to herself.


    Husbands are supposed to help their wives succeed and live well, but her father was the exact opposite of that.


    He never helped her mother, but whenever he did, he would complain about her mother always depending on him for everything.


    She didn''t want to give any man any reason to insult her when she needs help.


    So, she had rather work her assistant off and be successful and form her own connections than go through any man.


    So, this is our female lead''s law.


    Finding Liu Longwei''s Suggestions and thoughts meaningful, she agreed with him on the matter. "No problem Mr Liu, I am in agreement with you".


    Hearing the words he wanted to hear, he came to a conclusion that Chen Lihua was on the same page as him not knowing her thoughts, he said


    "Since you agreed, tell me anything you want so I can make arrangements for it".


    Chen Lihua paused for a second before replying "I don''t need anything from you apart from pleading with you not to announce our marriage to the public for now"


    "If I may ask what''s your reason Miss Chen Lihua?"


    Chen Lihua yawns as she is feeling sleepy and replies tiredly "That''s a question to be answered tomorrow".


    Hearing Chen Lihua''s tired voice, Liu Longwei brought his left hand that was holding his phone down from his ear and turned his left hand slightly such that the wrist watch on his hand was seen.


    He checked the time and saw it was 10:30pm, he knew it was late already and he has been speaking with Chen Lihua for a while.


    "Ok, no problem I can see you are tired. We will continue our discussion tomorrow. Rest well Miss Chen".


    Without waiting for Chen Lihua to reply he terminated the call.


    With a slight smile on his face, he stood up from the Sofa and went directly to his work desk. He sat down and continued with the files he was going through before he placed a call on Chen Lihua.


    He worked for another 30 mins before going to his bedroom.


    He placed a call on Asst Duyi.


    Asst Duyi was already asleep. When he heard his phone ringing, he jumped up from his bed immediately and picked his phone and on seeing it was the CEO''s call, he picked it without hesitation.


    "Good evening CEO Liu "


    When Liu Longwei heard the drowsy voice, he relayed some instructions to him regarding the restaurant he was to dine in the next day with Chen Lihua and ended the call without waiting for a reply.


    Asst Duyi twitched his mouth and nodded his head disapprovenly. He made a reservation in a high end class restaurant according to Liu Longwei''s instruction and went back to sleep peacefully.


    After giving instructions to asst Duyi, Liu Longwei layed on his bed and went to sleep.


    While on Chen Lihua''s end, she dropped her phone on the night stand and went to sleep after the call disconnected.

 Chapter 4 - Lady Chen nearly vomited blood.

    Chen''s Family VILLA


    Chen Lihua woke up to her phone ringing. She was still in a daze and therefore picked up her phone from the night stand, thinking that it was an incoming call, she slided her finger across her phone''s screen in a stance to pick up a call.


    After picking up the dreamy call not knowing that she put her phone''s alarm to snooze for the next hour.


    She answered the call "Hello" without hearing a voice at the other end of the phone, she asked with the last bit of patience in her, "who is this?".


    Still not hearing a voice from the other end, she sighed angrily and brought her phone down from her ear.


    She looked at her phone to terminate the call and saw the screen with the normal wallpaper.


    As if understanding what just happened, she resigned her self to her fate and went back to sleep.


    On the other hand, lady Chen woke up to Liu Biyu''s call. Lady Chen picked up her phone and upon seeing the caller ID, her eyes shone brightly and she swiftly sat up on the bed.


    Lady Chen hurriedly picked the call "Hello Biyu good morning"


    "Good morning Ju Ju there is a goodnews, Our children are collecting their marriage certificate tomorrow and they will also go on a little date after that". Madam Liu replied happily after sharing the piece of goodnews she has been holding in since early this morning.


    Upon hearing Madam Liu''s words, Lady Chen stood up from her bed and asked surprisingly, "Really, how did you know? "


    "Of course I will know because I finished speaking with Longwei 5 minutes ago, he called to tell me about it and I couldn''t contain my joy and had to call you immediately". Madam Liu replied while nodding her head.


    Immediately Lady Chen heard Madam Liu''s words, she felt touched that Liu Longwei cared about his marriage with her daughter by the way he called to tell his mother about the latest development.


    She suddenly felt relieved and satisfied in her heart that she found a suitable husband for her daughter.


    She prayed silently in her heart that Liu Longwei will always remain good to her daughter and not change like a chameleon the way her husband did.


    Pulling herself out from her thoughts, she replied to Madam Liu happily, "Good Good, am very happy with Longwei, you really trained your son well.


    "See the way he called you so early in the morning to tell you about the marriage progress"


    Tsk tsk tsk, Lady she scoffed, "just imagine my daughter she didn''t even tell me anything"


    As if suddenly remembering something, Lady Chen said, "Am going to teach that brat a lesson, imagine she has a date today and she''s not even touched, maybe she''s even sleeping".


    As Madam Liu listened, she said, "Ju Ju take it easy, don''t do anything to my daughter in-law"


    Lady Chen laughed whole heartedly and paced round her room, "Ah!, we are not yet in-laws and you are already calling Hua''er your daughter in-law, my daughter must be really fortunate".


    Madam Liu smiled while nodding her head, "Since I set my eyes on your daughter''s photograph, I had already considered her my daughter in-law, I was only waiting for my son to fail in his promise before presenting her to him"


    Lady Chen smiled. Her daughter ready had nothing to wear about in this marriage since she now had a mother in-law that liked her.


    Even if there''s trouble in the future, her mother could help her.


    But on remembering the circumstances surrounding her marriage, she felt immediately felt sad because, her own mother in-law could not help her even though she(mother in-law) treated her well, she (mother in-law) still couldn''t help her in her marriage because her late husband didn''t respect anybody and wouldn''t even listen to his Own mother.


    After thinking about all these, Lady Chen suddenly thought that Liu Longwei will not behave that way since he was so filial to his mother and to even obey her in her choice for his future wife.


    Lady Chen suddenly smiled saying, "if we two continue talking, Our children won''t go for this date. I have to go and wake Lihua up and urge to prepare earlier bye".


    After speaking with madam Liu, lady Chen immediately hurried to Chen Lihua''s room with her phone still in her hands.


    While walking to Chen Lihua''s room, she kept thinking, ''what kind of daughter did I give birth, she really knows how to give me headache. Did she really take this marriage lightly, what if I was not around or didn''t know about their date, would she have slept till eternity?''


    She shaked her head repeatedly and doubled her steps to Chen Lihua''s room.


    When she got to Chen Lihua''s room, she didn''t even bother trying to knock, she directly pushed the door open but found out the door was locked, so she had no choice than to knock loudly.


    Lady Chen called out Chen Lihua''s name and continued to knock on her door profusely as if attempting to bring down the door.


    The servants downstairs didn''t even dare to go upstairs to find out what was happening because with their Madam''s shout and whole lots of noise making, they could sense her anger and therefore knew when to become invisible.


    While in the room, Chen Lihua woke up to the repeated pounding on her door, she didn''t even bother to wear her slippers.


    She just directly opened the door.


    Unexpectedly seeing her mother''s angry face, she didn''t dare to get annoyed and could only laugh dryly.


    "Good morning Lady Chen, who dared to annoy our one and only lady Chen early this morning?, tell me so that I could go and beat that person up". Chen Lihua said while raising her fist in a sloppy manner.


    Lady Chen scoffed loudly, using her body, she pushed Chen Lihua to the side and walked directly into the room.


    Chen Lihua staggered a little before maintaining her balance she was slightly surprised. It seems her mother was really angry.


    She wondered what she did to get Lady Chen so angry.


    She closed the door and the entire became dimmed.


    Lady Chen walked towards the tightly closed curtains and opened them such that bright lights were immediately illuminated into the room.


    Immediately the bright lights shined into the room, Chen Lihua immediately covered her eyes out of reflex.


    She found her to her desk, she opened the drawers and found her glasse''s case, she opened it and pulled out the glasses and covered her eyes with it. Only then she could sigh in relief.


    On seeing her actions, Lady Chen didn''t even pity her, instead she retorted quickly.


    "What is good about the morning? and yes you annoyed me so, can you beat yourself up?"


    "Lady Chen, how can I beat myself up", Chen Lihua replied pitifully


    "And besides, you can''t bear to see me in pain and am also the only one allowed to annoy you after all am your only baby" Chen Lihua replied shamelessly.


    Lady Chen nearly vomited blood after hearing Chen Lihua''s words.


    She was so angry that she started panting heavily and pointed her right finger at Chen Lihua.


    "What did you say?, that you''re the only one allowed to annoy me, and I can''t bear to see you in pain?, You must be really muddle headed from sleeping like a pig. See if I don''t kill you today".


    Immediately Lady Chen finished her words, she chased Chen Lihua round her room.

 Chapter 5 - Only she knew that going shopping with Lady Chen was tiring.

    As lady Chen chased Chen Lihua round the room, Chen Lihua jumped on her bed like a child.


    When she couldn''t take it anymore, she ran into her bathroom and locked the door.


    Seeing as Chen Lihua ran into the bathroom and locked the door, Lady Chen walked back Chen Lihua''s bed and sat on it panting heavily.


    While in the bathroom, Chen Lihua squatted behind the bathroom door panting as well.


    She sat behind the door afraid that her mother will have a way of opening the door and beat her to death.


    At the thought of that, she shuddered, does she look like she wants to die now?.


    After Chen Lihua caught her breath, she apologized to her mother, "Lady Chen am sorry"


    Not hearing any response from the room, she opened the door slightly and tilted her head.


    When she saw lady Chen still panting faintly, she came out from the bathroom closing the door gently.


    lady Chen raised her head when she heard the door closing.


    On seeing her daughter walking out slowly as if she was afraid of being beaten, she scolded her.


    "Why did you come out?, you were just at the right place I wanted you to be".


    On seeing that lady Chen didn''t look like she was going to chase after her again, she smiled, walked quickly and sat beside her holding her hand, she said


    "Mum am sorry, I said am sorry. I''ll try not to annoy you".


    "This girl", Lady Chen said and sighed helplessly.


    Chen Lihua smiled brightly on seeing that lady Chen had calmed down.


    "Lady Chen what happened the early morning for you to come looking for me in anger?"


    Chen Lihua asked sending a naughty wink across.


    When lady Chen heard Chen Lihua''s words, she immediately remembered the reason for coming to see Chen Lihua.


    She shook the hand that was in Chen Lihua''s possession of, then she nudged Chen Lihua heavily why asking angrily,


    "Why didn''t you tell me that you and Longwei were going on a date?"


    Chen Lihua rubbed her arm that was hit by her mother, looking shocked and asked, "Lady Chen, how did you find out?.


    Lady Chen eyed Chen Lihua asking, "Of course, since you didn''t tell, Bilu did and she told me this morning".


    Chen Lihua sighed helplessly, "Lady Chen don''t be angry, I finished speaking with Mr Liu very late and I was so sleepy so, I decided to tell you this morning".


    "This child, why are you so unfilial?, wasn''t it Longwei that called his mother early this morning to tell her about the date, See how filial he is to his mother, but as for you",


    Lady Chen paused inbetween her speech, rolling her eyes at chen Lihua, she continued, "all you know how to do is to sleep, and what do mean by ''Mr Liu?'', he is your husband to be so, you should call him Longwei".


    "OK Lady Chen, I promise if anything happens in the future, I''ll tell you immediately".


    Satisfied with her answer, Lady Chen relaxed and nodded.


    "But mum, am not that close with Mr Liu to call him by his name, it''ll be so awkward so, it will be better for me to continue calling him Mr Liu".


    Lady Chen shaked her head negatively and said "Even though the two of you are not that close, it''s still not right for you to address him as Mr Liu".


    Lady Chen paused and patted Chen Lihua on her shoulder before continuing, "You should close the gap between you two by calling him Liu Longwei since calling him Longwei is awkward to you".


    Seeing that there was no room for discussion, Chen Lihua agreed.


    "Hua''er hurry up and wash up, so that you won''t be late to collect the marriage certificate and also for the date". Lady Chen said and smiled happily.


    "Lady Chen, is it not too early?, we are collecting the marriage certificate by 12pm and this is just 7:30Am". Chen Lihua said looking at the table clock on her table.


    lady Chen widened her eyes at Chen Lihua''s words and sprang up from the bed asking, "What did you just say the time was?"


    Chen Lihua looked at her surprisingly but still answered, "It''s 7:30am already, what are you so shocked about? "


    "You still have the nerves to ask me useless questions?, don''t you know you are supposed to go shopping for new clothes, dress your hair and makeup?". Lady Chen asked angrily and continued "Or were you planning on dressing like a country bumpkin to collect the marriage certificate and go on a date with Longwei?".


    "Ah!" Chen Lihua exclaimed standing up, "Lady Chen calm down, I still have clothes to wear, and I can dress my hair and make myself up".


    "Which stupid clothes are you talking about?, Is it does nonsense clothes that makes you look like an old woman?, I don''t even know why you didn''t inherit me and your father''s sense of fashion, and you didn''t even bother to learn, Are you trying to embarrass me?" Lady Chen asked angrily almost choking on her words.


    On seeing that her mother was very angry, she didn''t have the energy to continue arguing with her and she didn''t want to annoy her anymore by replying if not, they two of them won''t achieve anything meaningful that day, so she agreed with her.


    "Lady Chen, I will go with whatever you say".


    Hearing that Chen Lihua understood her point, she smiled slightly and said, "Now hurry up and wash up so that we will go shopping together".


    Finding out she was going shopping with her mother, she silently prayed for herself because only she knew that going shopping with Lady Chen was tiring.


    But she was unable to retort, so she could only agree with her.


    After Lady Chen chased Chen Lihua into the bathroom, she quickly left Chen Lihua''s room and went into her room to wash up.


    Downstairs, the servants continued with their work and sighed in relief that the noise and quarrels had finally stopped .


    Lady Chen took 15 minutes to bath and dress up, then she instructed Butler Li to get the car ready through the intercom system.


    After relaying the instructions, she put on her shoes, carried her Tommy Hilfiger''s hand bag and went straight to Chen Lihua''s room.


    On reaching Chen Lihua''s door, she knocked and said loudly enough for Chen Lihua to hear, "Hua''er, what are you still doing?, hurry up and open the door".


    Chen Lihua quickly opened the door because she was avoiding her mother''s nonstop argument.

 Chapter 6 - Mother still loves me the most.

    Lady Chen entered the room and saw Chen Lihua already dressed in a white sleeveless blouse and a pair of blue jean trouser with a black belt secured appropriately on her waist accompanied with a pair of white flats on her feet.


    She gave Chen Lihua a thumbs up on her outfit, actually in her mind.


    She didn''t have any reason to scold her and could only urge her to hurry up.


    Chen Lihua picked up her eye glasses she left on the table before going to take her bath and placed it over her eyes.


    Lady Chen saw the glasses on Chen Lihua''s eyes and made a mental note to get rid of them for today.


    Chen Lihua quickly walked towards her bed and picked up a small white shoulder bag containing her eye glass case, phone, credit card, a small jotter and a pen.


    As if remembering something, she walked to the drawer on her table, pulled it open and took out her car keys.


    Seeing a set of car keys on Chen Lihua''s hands, Lady Chen asked calmly, "Hua''er what are you doing with those keys?".


    Chen Lihua answered swiftly, "To drive us to the mall".


    Lady Chen asked, "Are you trying to show people your driving skills?, please keep those keys, we are going with the chauffeur".


    Chen Lihua obediently kept the keys back and followed her mother out.


    When they got downstairs, Chen Lihua saw her mother walking towards the big door leading outside, she called out.


    "Lady Chen, are we not having breakfast? " Chen Lihua asked pointing towards the dining table covered with an English style breakfast.


    On hearing Chen Lihua''s words, she glared at Chen Lihua and walked back to where she was standing and dragged her hand while pulling her with her towards the entrance as she retorted.


    "You still have the guts to feel hungry when we are late?".


    Chen Lihua replied unhappily, "But mum, my stomach is empty and am so hungry that if I don''t eat on time, my stomach walls will start secreting acid and at the end of the day, it will lead to stomach ulcer".


    Hearing Chen Lihua''s words, Lady Chen paused before turning back and instructing Butler Li that was following behind them to send a maid to bring few pieces of sandwich and two cups of milkshake for the two of them.


    Without waiting to see if Butler Li had left, she continued dragging Chen Lihua towards the Mercedes Benz that was packed outside.


    The middle aged driver standing beside the car opened the car door for them and lady Chen immediately shoved Chen Lihua inside and sat down beside her while waiting for their breakfast.


    Chen Lihua paused her lips speechlessly while wondering why her mother was so much in a hurry and thought that her mother couldn''t wait to shove her into a man''s(Liu Longwei) embrace.


    As soon as she finished thinking, Butler Li came over to the car with house keeper Zin who was holding a two disposable cups containing milkshake and a lunch box containing 4 pieces of sandwich.


    House keeper Zin passed the breakfast to Madam Chen while the driver closed the car door for them (lady Chen and Lihua) and walked over to the driver''s side, entered the car and drove off.


    As the car entered the main road, Chen Lihua couldn''t wait any longer and opened the lunch box picking her own share of sandwich, she started started eating it while taking sips from her milk shake from time to time.


    Lady Chen joined Chen Lihua and they both had their breakfast in silence after which they neatly kept the empty containers on one side of the car.


    As they traveled on in silence, Lady Chen''s phone suddenly rang displaying the caller ID ''Liu Bilu''.


    Lady Chen picked the call happily and greeted "Hello Bilu"


    Madam Liu answers excitedly, "I will come with Longwei to collect the marriage certificate, am already so excited that I had to order a Canon camera and it arrived some minutes ago. I want to personally take many pictures of Longwei and Lihua".


    Lady Chen smiles happily while looking at Lihua she replies "good good, Ah! Bilu you are really thinking ahead of me. Am already in the car with Hua''er, we are on away to the beauty salon, from there I''ll take her to the shopping mall to change her outfit.


    "OK no problem, we all will meet in front of the Service bureau by 12pm to collect the marriage certificate. I want to speak with Lihua, give the phone to her". Madam Liu replies happily.


    Chen Lihua has long known that her mother was speaking with her future mother in-law.


    So, when Lady Chen handed the phone to her, she responded immediately. "Good morning Aunty, how are you doing?"


    "Am doing great, I know you are doing great as well. Am so happy that I can''t wait to bring you home. I won''t disturb you today, I''ll be waiting for you and your mother, take care of yourself goodbye".


    "Thank you Aunty bye" Chen Lihua replied and returned the phone to her mother.


    Lady Chen took the phone and spoke a few more words with madam Liu before terminating the call.


    After speaking with madam Liu, she turned towards Chen Lihua and said "Hua''er have you seen that your mother in-law cares for you so, once we step out from this car, drop this childish attitude of yours and behave like an elegant lady you are".


    Chen Lihua frowned a little while listening to her mother and responded quickly "Lady Chen you don''t have to remind me, I already know what to do and besides, I only behave childish in your presence, as am your only child".


    As Chen Lihua finished her speech, she turned her head around to face the window.


    Lady Chen noticed that Chen Lihua''s mood was down and had to apologize to her.


    Lady Chen moved closer to Chen Lihua, dragged her towards her body and hugged her while patting her back affectionately.


    She consoled her while saying ,"My Lihua, My only baby, the only Lily in my life, am sorry OK? forgive mommy. Mommy will not shout at you again, I will not talk to you anyhow again OK?


    As Chen Lihua listened to her mother''s words, she smiled brightly while nodding her head like a child.


    Then she lifted her head and pecked her mother on her cheek, smiling she said, "mother still loves me the most".


    "Of course mother loves you the most" Lady Chen smiled affectionately and pecked Chen Lihua on her forehead.


    Chen Lihua and lady Chen are very close since they had to rely on each other.


    Chen Lihua stayed in her mother''s embrace till the got to one of the biggest mall in city B which is under the Chen Group.


    The chauffeur dropped them in front of the mall and went to park the car.

 Chapter 7 - Action Lady

    As the mother and daughter pair arrived in front of the mall, the manager of the mall ''Manger Sun'' came with a whole entourage of security from the mall to welcome them as Lady Chen and Chen Lihua didn''t come with their bodyguards.


    Manager Sun and the security guards bowed and greeted them, "Welcome Madam and young Miss.


    As the welcomed them, Lady Chen exclaimed "Aiyah! how did you find out we were coming to the mall?, I feel like we are being monitored".


    Manger Sun smiled and explained, "Madam you have nothing to worry about, you are not being monitored, it''s just that immediately the security guard at the entrance noticed your car, he sent the message across, So I had to come and welcome you".


    "I wanted to shop in peace with Hua''er" Lady Chen said while holding Chen Lihua''s hand and continued "but there''s no harm, let''s go".


    "No problem Madam, we will just escort you in and will not disturb you". Manager Sun replied while gesturing with his hand, "This way Madam and young Miss".


    Manager Sun walked in front with Lady Chen and Chen Lihua while the security guards followed behind them as they walked inside.


    Chen Group has a chain of malls in different cities in Country C, and this mall in city B is the headquarters of the malls under Chen Group. Each mall bears the same name ''Chen''s Mall'' on the body of the building.


    The Chen Group is mainly under the Agriculture and food production sector.


    They have many farms and food production factories therefore they produce many food stuffs, drinks(fruit juice and grape wine) and some healthy snacks.


    They supply their products to their malls, all cities in Country C and outside the country.


    Chen''s Mall in City B has a total of 9 floors and an Underground parking lot.


    Ground floor for Supermarket/Grocery store.


    First floor for Massage parlour.


    Second floor for Hair and Nail Salon.


    Third floor for Babies and children wears and products.


    Fourth floor for Adult clothings.


    Fifth floor for Foot wears, bags and sunglasses.


    Sixth floor for Makeups, skin care and bath products.


    Seventh floor for jewellery and accessories.


    Eighth floor for Offices and Lounge.


    As they were walking, the workers recognized Lady Chen but didn''t recognize Chen Lihua because not everyone knew that Chen Lihua was the young Miss because she is always on a low key.


    So they could only greet Lady Chen, "Welcome Madam".


    Hearing them, Lady Chen swept her eyes over them.


    When Manager Sun heard them, cold sweat popped out from his neck and back, ''what do these people mean by only greeting Madam Chen and leaving the young Miss out?, do they not know that greeting is a sign of acknowledgement?, Are they trying to get me killed?''.


    Manager Sun could not hold the anger anymore and shouted at them "Are all of you blind?, hurry up and greet young Miss Chen or do all of you want to loose your jobs?!.


    Green veins could not help but show on his Neck. This shows the intensity of his anger.


    Hearing the Manager''s words, they felt afraid because they just offended the young Miss right in Lady Chen''s presence.


    And who doesn''t know Lady Chen?, She''s known as ''Action Lady''. Although she is kind, she hates injustice and always retaliates and besides, they just insulted her daughter.


    So they quickly bowed their heads in apology and greeted Chen Lihua, "Welcome Miss Chen".


    Chen Lihua just nodded her head in acceptance.


    After their apologies and greetings, Lady Chen looked away from them.


    Manager Sun smiled lightly and quickly said to Chen Lihua "Young Miss just now, sorry about it", Chen Lihua replied, "It''s OK"


    Hearing Chen Lihua''s reply, he turned to look at Lady Chen "Madam don''t be angry, I will teach them well next time".


    Lady Chen looked up at him and said one word coldly, "better!" and continued walking forward with Chen Lihua.


    When Manager Sun noticed that he was being left behind, he eyed those workers from earlier, making a killing sign to them (he brought one of his hands to his neck and moved it sideways) then, he quickly followed behind them (lady Chen, Chen Lihua and they team of security guards) till he caught up with them.


    When they got to the elevator, Lady Chen turned around facing the security guards saying, "You can go back to your post, you don''t have to follow us anymore".


    With those words the security guards bowed and left.


    Seeing that they left, Manager Sun quickly pressed the elevator button and it opened, the they trio entered.


    Manager Sun asked, "Madam which floor are you going to? "


    "Second floor" Lady Chen replied with those two simple words.


    Manager Sun swiftly pressed the number and they traveled from inside the elevator to their destination in absolute silence.


    During the short travel, Manager Sun was suffocating to death because of the silence and wished they could arrive very fast.


    So, immediately they arrived, he jumped out of the elevator first and waited for Chen Lihua and Lady Chen to come out before walking with them.


    When they reached the entrance of the Hair salon, Manager Sun stopped and said to Lady Chen, "Madam, I have sent for someone already to be your guide for today", a bright smile was plastered on his face as he finished off his sentence, "I will wait for the person to arrive before leaving, you can go ahead, I will wait outside".


    "Suit yourself" Lady Chen replied and was about entering inside the hair/nail salon when they heard a flustered voice behind, and they all turned around to the direction of the voice.


    "Manger Sun am here" the young lady said and having noticed lady Chen and Chen Lihua, she greeted them immediately. "welcome Madam and Miss Chen".


    She greeted Chen Lihua not because she knew her already, but because Manager Sun already explained the situation to her through an SMS when he was in the elevator so as not to be a headache unto him like the others.


    Lady Chen and Chen Lihua nodded in response.


    After the greetings, Manager Sun explained, "This is little Baozhai, she will be assisting you today", then he bowed to Lady Chen and Chen Lihua and said , "Happy shopping" before leaving hurriedly as if fire has been burning him and needed a place to cool off.


    Seeing Manager Sun leave in a hurry, the trio had a puzzled expression and wondered what was chasing him.


    The trio entered the hair salon and were greeted politely.


    Lady Chen said that she wanted her hair washed and wanted a Bob hairstyle because of the length of her hair, While Chen Lihua wanted her hair washed and styled in a French plait/braid.


    While lady Chen and Chen Lihua sat on a comfortable Sofa, little Baozhai made arrangements for two experienced workers to wash and style their hair.

 Chapter 8 - Huaer you are looking sweet.

    While Chen Lihua''s hair was being combed after washing and blow drying, She kept telling the person attending to her to take it easy so her won''t cut.


    Seeing as Chen Lihua kept complaining about her hair, Lady Chen couldn''t keep up with it, "Hua''er what are kicking a fuss for?, don''t you know your hair will cut a little as its being combed?".


    Chen Lihua kept quiet after her mother''s words and prayed very hard that the torment will be over soon as she didn''t want her hair to cut.


    Once the torment was over, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at her mother.


    When she looked over, She saw that the hairstyle that Lady Chen requested for was almost completed.


    Then she hurriedly turned back and urged the person attending to her to hurry up with her hair because she knew once her mother was through, she will start complaining about the time and she didn''t want that headache yet.


    Halfway through the braiding of her hair, Lady Chen''s hairstyle was completed she moved to sit on the sofa while waiting for Chen Lihua.


    Although her mother warned her to behave before they arrived, she couldn''t care more about it as she couldn''t endure the pain she was in as she complained bitterly, "Take it easy, are you trying to pull my hair off my scap?"


    Hearing her daughter''s complains, Lady Chen shaked her head and wondered what was wrong with her daughter, ''why is she complainly about pain with such a simple hairstyle?''.


    Lady Chen couldn''t care more about her and continued with the magazine on hairstyles she was going through pretending as if she didn''t hear anything.


    Anyone hearing Chen Lihua''s complains will think she is unreasonable but what they didn''t know was that Chen Lihua was afraid of pain and her hair cutting so, she always emphasized on it if she needed to.


    The person attending to her apologized and continued braiding her hair.


    When she was through with her hair, Chen Lihua finally relaxed.


    Everybody their complimented on the length of her hair.


    Chen Lihua said a word of thanks to the hairstylist as she admired her hair in the mirror.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua thanked her, the hairstylist became happy and forgot all about Chen Lihua''s earlier complains.


    Next, Lady Chen and Chen Lihua had their nails fixed(french tips).


    Lady Chen paid for their hair and nail services with her credit card and left with Chen Lihua and little Baozhai.


    This is the Chen family''s rule. They don''t put bills on their tab or leave without paying because they own it, rather they pay right their with cash or any means of payment of their choice.


    Little Baozhai took Lady Chen and Chen Lihua to the the fourth floor where the Adult clothing were sold.


    Baozhai is called little Baozhai because she''s the youngest worker at Chen''s Mall.


    Arriving at the floor, they entered the female section.


    Lady Chen told Baozhai to assist Chen Lihua on her clothes why she sat on a Sofa waiting for them.


    "Hua''er go along with Baozhai when you dress, come and show me so that I will see if it suits you, I don''t want to follow you so I won''t be tempted to pick a dress for you and I don''t want it to like you have to follow my instructions, I want you to choose what you like".


    "Thanks a lot for your consideration Lady Chen" Chen Lihua gave a little bow and walked out with Baozhai with a bright smile on her face.


    With Baozhai around, Chen Lihua didn''t need any attendant to assist her.


    Chen Lihua being a size 8(USA size), chose a straight cut size 8 off shoulder royal blue knee length gown with a side slit.


    She went into the changing room to change into the dress and came out.


    When little Baozhai saw her, she exclaimed, "wow! young miss this dress was made just for you and the colour suits your complexion".


    "Thank you", Chen Lihua replied.


    The dress truly complimented her figure eight shape and the royal blue colour was well matched with her Snow White skin colour.


    The off shoulder showed off her exquisite collarbone while the slit showed off her long fair legs.


    Chen Lihua went to show the dress to lady Chen. When Lady Chen saw the dress on her daughter, she couldn''t help complimenting, "My Hua''er is very beautiful, anything she wears fits her"


    "Thanks mum" Chen Lihua replied happily.


    Lady Chen paid for the outfit and the trio left for the fifth floor.


    On getting to the fifth floor, Chen Lihua said she wanted a black heeled shoe and a black purse.


    Baozhai directed them to the Gucci collection and pointed at a 3 inches black swede sandal saying, "Young Miss, this sandal will match your dress and your height, try it".


    Chen Lihua is 180 centimeters tall, so she doesn''t need to wear heels that will make her look like an Iroko tree.


    Baozhai took the sandals and helped Chen Lihua put it on.


    The sandals actually fitted her and lady Chen couldn''t help saying a few words to Baozhai, "Little Baozhai has good eyes".


    "Thank you madam" Chen Lihua replied while giggling. Then she told one attendant to get a black plain Gucci purse for Chen Lihua.


    The attendant returned with the purse and passed it to Chen Lihua.


    Seeing her daughter all dressed up, she couldn''t help but be happy and said out loud, "Hua''er you are looking sweet, but it''s time to get rid of those glasses for today".


    After talking, she dragged Chen Lihua to the sun glasses section and picked one for her.


    She made Chen Lihua sit down and removed the medicated glasses on her eyes and immediately replaced it with the sun glasses.


    When Lady Chen was removing the medicated glasses, Chen Lihua didn''t dare to open her eyes untill the sunglasses covered her eyes.


    This is because Chen Lihua has a problem with light, whenever her eyes met with bright light, she will become unable to see and experience pain in her eyes, then tears will flow out of her eyes. That''s why she wears medicated glasses and couldn''t open her eyes earlier because the entire building has great lighting.


    When she wore it, she didn''t feel comfortable on it so she said to her mother, "Mum please, let me keep my glasses am not comfortable with the sunglasses".


    "This girl, you only know how to call me mum when you want me to agree with you on something. I know your reason for rejecting the sunglasses don''t worry, you only have to wear it for now, you can remove it before you sign the marriage certificate. I just want you to look more dazzling and show you off a bit". Lady Chen said winking at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua smiled in agreement and left the sunglasses on, then she took her white bag from her mother and transferred her phone, glasses and credit card to the black purse.


    She understands that her mother loves and cares for her and therefore wants the best for her.


    They trio left together again to the 6th floor.


    Everybody that saw Chen Lihua couldn''t help but envy her natural beauty without makeup because she was beautiful like a goddess and of course those beauty traits came from our Lady Chen.


    Arriving at the sixth floor, both mother and daughter applied a light makeup.


    Chen Lihua applied a black eyeliner on her eyelids, black eyeshadow, mascara making her eyes a look little dark.

 Chapter 9 - I cant wait to send this annoying brat into Longweis arms.

    After the makeup was over, a woman between the ages of 30 to 35 walked in. As she saw Lady Chen and Chen Lihua she was surprised and greeted them, "Welcome Lady Chen and Chen Lihua"


    The way she greeted them showed her familiarity with them.


    Lady Chen smiled back and said, "Huang Jinfei it''s been a long time since we''ve met".


    Huang Jinfei works for the Chen Group, She''s in charge of Publicity of any High grade Jewelry, clothes, bags, shoes, etc in Chen''s Mall.


    "Yes madam it''s been a long time, I spoke with Chen Lihua about a year ago, I wanted her to do a photoshoot for us but she said she was busy. I think it was around the time she just started work. I know it''s not easy to be in the medical field. But as fate would have it, she (chen Lihua) just entered my den".


    Huang Jinfei smiled at Chen Lihua, she then faced lady Chen "I heard from my subordinates that a very beautiful lady was here so I came to take a look because The company wants to do a photoshoot to promote some jewelry and we still haven''t found the appropriate disposition for it. "


    Her eyes drifted to Chen Lihua again before she continued, "Who knew that my day would be blessed like this for me to meet Chen Lihua".


    Then she looked at lady Chen and asked politely, "Lady Chen can I trouble you to take a photo of Chen Lihua, we want to make a new publicity and she''s just perfect for it".


    Lady Chen looked at Chen Lihua and Chen Lihua turned her face to another direction obviously out of guilt.


    Lady Chen turned back to face Huang jinfei and smiled "Miss Huang there''s no problem at all. This brat didn''t even tell me about it. Although we are in a hurry, I''ll just let you take a good picture and post it all over the internet and mall.


    As she said the last sentence, she turned to look at Chen Lihua while giving her an evil smile.


    Chen Lihua has been modelling for the Chen group and other international modelling agencies since she was little and not everyone knew she was the Chen''s heiress because she was known by her nickname ''Lily''.


    She doesn''t like being the center of attention, she hates anything that will expose her identity that is why she rejected Miss Huang and stopped modelling since she entered university.


    Lady Chen knows her reason, but of course how could she continue to allow her daughter to hide like a shadow. If her daughter can''t handle the fame of being the Chen family''s young miss, how can she handle the fame of being Mrs Liu? so, she had to force her daughter to adapt.


    "Thank you Madam, then I''ll have to trouble you Chen Lihua" Huang Jinfei said gratefully.


    She then turned to little Baozhai and gave a few instructions.


    Baozhai left and came back 5 minutes later with a simple black leather wrist watch and a matching ruby necklace and earrings.


    She then helped Chen Lihua to put them on.


    The five minutes time it took Baozhai to leave and return was used to set up the cameras and other things for the photoshoot.


    During the photoshoot, Chen Lihua posed like an international model, She even had a smile on her face while she posed in some pictures.


    Huang Jinfei didn''t direct the photoshoot much, as Chen Lihua already knew what to do and for that, she was proud of Chen Lihua.


    During the photoshoot, Lady Chen had a proud smile as well and her proud face read ''that''s my daughter''.


    Chen Lihua took two pictures with the sunglasses on before it was removed and she unconsciously closed her eyes in some pictures because of the light. Only few pictures had her eyes open in them and she did that with a lot of difficulty which made her eyes look sexy.


    After the photoshoot, Huang jinfei thanked them, "Thank you Lady Chen for your time", then she patted Chen Lihua on the shoulder and said "Lihua thank you so much".


    Chen Lihua smiled in response.


    Seeing that the jewelry looked good on Chen Lihua, Lady Chen paid for them.


    Huang Jinfei said her goodbyes to them and left to take care of the pictures.


    Lady Chen called the chauffeur while she and Chen Lihua took the elevator to the Ground floor.


    Little Baozhai tagged along carrying a bag, which had the Chen''s Group logo that contained clothes Chen Lihua changed out from and her whit shoulder bag.


    At the ground floor, they met Manager Chen as he quickly came over once he heard Lady Chen was leaving.


    He walked them to the entrance where the driver was already waiting.


    The driver Mr P opened the car door for them and took the bags from Baozhai''s hands and kept them in the boot where the lunch pack was already.


    Before the car drove off, Lady Chen gave some cash to little Baozhai in which Baozhai expressed her thanks repeatedly while saying.


    "Hua''er, you are really tall, you inherited it from your father, luckily I wore heels today, if not I would have been mocked because of my height. Although am not tall, but am average in height". Lady Chen said smiling hapily.


    Chen Lihua laughed in her mind because she knows that the last part of her mother''s speech signifies that her mother was consoling herself.


    Chen Lihua removed the sunglasses on her eyes and kept it on her laps, next, she relaxed comfortably and closed her eyes to rest it for a while because she stressed them earlier during the photoshoot.


    On seeing that Chen Lihua had closed her eyes, Lady Chen secretly took a selfie of the two of them and posted it on her Weibo and instagram page with the write up ''What a wonderful day with my beautiful Hua''er''


    In days to come when Chen Lihua''s pictures from the photoshoot are all over the country, this particular picture will make Chen Lihua (Lily) known to the world as Lady Chen''s daughter and also as the young Miss of the Chen family.


    Lady Chen checked the time on her wrist watch before exclaiming with a frown "It''s 11:45AM already, we will get to the service bureau late at this rate".


    Hearing Lady Chen''s words, the driver increased the speed.


    Chen Lihua still with her eyes closed said, "Mr P slow down, we are not car racing".


    Lady Chen retorted immediately Mr P hurry up, I can''t wait to send this annoying brat into Longwei''s arms".


    Chen Lihua''s eyes flew open immediately. She looked at Lady Chen and and shaked her head speechlessly before closing her eyes again.


    The driver was confused on whose order to follow but luckily, Chen Lihua didn''t comment again so he didn''t slow down.

 Chapter 10 - Are you angry at me?.

    As they traveled on silence, Lady Chen suddenly turned to face Chen Lihua and asked, "you haven''t even asked me of the family register, you don''t even want to know if I brought it".


    Lady Chen hit Chen Lihua lightly on the shoulder and said, "this girl can''t you show a little concern about this marriage?".


    Chen Lihua rubbed the shoulder that was hit while replying, "How could I care about it when I know you would never forget it as you can''t even wait to send me to Longwei''s arms".


    Chen Lihua repeated the exact same words her mother said to the driver earlier.


    Obviously from her words and attitude, you can say that Chen Lihua indeed held a grudge on her mother because of those words.


    Chen Lihua placed the sunglasses on her laps back on her eyes and relaxed even more comfortablely as she finished her words.


    Last Chen became dumbfounded hearing the sarcasm in Chen Lihua''s words.


    ''It seems like this girl is angry, I had better make peace with her if not, she will continue to ignore me''.


    Lady Chen said to her self as she looked Chen Lihua.


    Seeing as Chen Lihua didn''t make any movement, Lady Chen removed the sunglasses on Chen Lihua''s eyes.


    Chen Lihua still had her eyes closed as if nothing in this world could harm her.


    Seeing her daughter''s indifferent attitude, Lady Chen nudged her gently and asked slowly, "are you angry at me?"


    Chen Lihua didn''t even budge and continued to keep her eyes closed.


    Seeing that her daughter didn''t react, Lady nudged her again, but this time not at all gently.


    Chen Lihua had no choice than to Open her eyes slowly, she kept blinking her eyes for a few seconds before her eyes was able to adjust to the surrounding light.


    Next, she looked at her mother and said, "I dare not get angry at you Lady Chen, who knows what will happen to me if I did get angry maybe, I would already be married to Liu Longwei without knowing how it happened".


    Lady Chen became speechless and hurriedly apologized and explained, "Hua''er baby, don''t be angry at mommy OK?, If I really pushed you to Liu Longwei''s arms hurriedly, won''t I be the one to loose out?, you know you are my only precious child, how could I bear to do that?. I only said that earlier because we were late, and also because Liu Longwei is really capable of taking care and protecting you, that''s all".


    Lady Chen touched her daughter''s cheek in which Chen Lihua pouted and embraced her mother.


    Lady Chen returned the hug.


    "But mother, I will really miss you once I marry Liu Longwei and start living with him". Chen Lihua asked raising her face up to look at her mother.


    "Silly girl why are you speaking as if we would never see each other again?, but of course you can and visit anytime you miss me". Lady Chen replied while gently patting Chen Lihua''s back with love.


    The mother and daughter pair stayed in each others embrace till the got to the service bureau.


    The Chen''s Mercedes Benz arrives safely in front of the service Bureau where an SUV was already parked.


    The passenger doors of the SUV opens as two figures a woman and a young man are seen highlighting from it.


    Lady Chen and Chen Lihua saw they people coming out from the car, they figures were no other than Mrs Liu and her son, the youngest billionaire in City C, Liu Longwei.


    Lady Chen recognized they people immediately. Eventhough Chen Lihua has never met any of them physically, She could still recognize Liu Longwei because she had seen a picture of him yesterday''s evening.


    And as for the good looking woman beside him, she could guess that she is her mother in-law to be.


    Madam Liu and Liu Longwei came out from the car because they recognized the Mercedes Benz parked in front of their own car.


    As Madam Liu had seen it numerous times when she often met up with Lady Chen, while Liu Longwei saw it the day he took both women (Madam Liu and Lady Chen) out for dinner.


    Lady Chen stepped out of the car first and went to meet them.


    "Bilu" She said and hugged her which Madam Liu reciprocated before She turned to meet Liu Longwei, she held one of his hands and said "Longwei thank you"


    Liu Longwei understood Lady Chen. Her thanking him ment thanking him for accepting the marriage with his daughter.


    "No troubles Aunty" Liu Longwei replied with a smile on his face.


    Lady Chen nodded her head satisfactorily and let go of his hands and looked over at Madam Liu and asked, "has it been long you arrived?"


    Madam Liu replied, "No, not at all, we just arrived"


    "OK, am really surprised that you actually came together with Liu Longwei". Lady Chen asked while still smiling.


    "Of course, I told you earlier that I would come with him and I really did. I went to meet Longwei at his office and came together with him because I didn''t want to miss anything". Madam Liu replied happily.


    Chen Lihua suddenly became nervous as she watched them for a while from inside the car before deciding it was time to go out. she wore the sunglasses her mother dropped on the chair and carried her bag.


    They trio outside smiled happily while conversing.


    Madam Liu as if remembering something, she asked Lady Chen, "Where is Lihua?"


    Just then, the Mercedes Benz car door opened and a long slender fair legs stepped out from the car and immediately, the person''s full body was seen.


    Her entire body was seen with the shades covering her eyes as if stopping her from seeing the evil of the world. Her could not be seen, and no expression could be seen on her face.


    But without doubt, people could tell that she was a young beautiful lady with the perfect shape. And she was indeed taller than most girls of her age and in the country.


    Even Liu Longwei that could not be moved by anything in this world except for his family couldn''t help but stare a little.


    They trio stopped talking and watched as Chen Lihua made her way towards then.


    Even the way she walked was like she was a model on a runway.

 Chapter 11 - Collecting the marriage certificate.

    When Chen Lihua reached where they were standing, she saw the features of Liu Longwei very well.


    The man was indeed handsome. He was taller than her even with the heels on her feet. One could say he had an exquisite and astounding features.


    Chen Lihua greeted Madam Liu, "Hello Aunty".


    Madam Liu hugged her responding to her greetings, "Hello dear, what a beautiful girl you are".


    "Thanks Aunty" Chen Lihua thanked her.


    "You are welcome", Madam Liu released her from the hug and said to Liu Longwei, "You see, this is Chen Ju Ju''s daughter, expect no less from her, she is really capable".


    What Madam Liu said implied that since Lady Chen was a beautiful and capable woman, will also be or be better than her.


    "So you see, mum didn''t cheat you". Madam Liu said finishing her words.


    Then Chen Lihua looked at Liu Longwei. She shaked his hands saying, "It is an honour to finally meet you Mr Liu Longwei. I have heard a lot about you from Lady chen".


    "I have heard a lot about you from both Ladies (Madam Liu and Lady Chen) and it''s an honour to meet you as well Miss Chen."


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua could see each others facial features very well, and they two couldn''t help but think that each others beauty could cause the downfall of a Nation.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu felt that their greetings were a bit stiff ''but no problem, it will end once the sign their marriage certificate''. They said in their mind, consoling themselves.


    "Let''s all go in so that you two can sign the marriage certificate then, we can talk after that". Madam Liu said.


    As they four walked towards the door of the service bureau, Lady Chen pushed Chen Lihua so that Chen Lihua was now standing alongside with Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua turned her neck to look at her mother in which lady Chen responded, "I have something to say to your mother in law, let Longwei guide you".


    ''Is this not the woman that said she couldn''t bear to send me away, now what is she doing. Do I look like I need to be guided?. Does she think she can deceive me by giving excuses?, Even though the excuse she gave is valid, it can''t be anything good''.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t even bother with her, thus she continued walking with Longwei.


    When Madam Liu saw that Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua were walking ahead of them, She quickly took out the camera from her bag and took two pictures of of the back view of them walking together.


    After taking the pictures, she showed them to Lady Chen and they both giggled lightly and gave each other a thumbs up.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua both knew that their pictures were taken, but what could they do?, they were helpless.


    Both mothers composed themselves and followed behind the soon to be couples.


    Inside the service bureau, the signing of the marriage certificate went on smoothly.


    Madam Liu took pictures of Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua during the signing of their marriage certificate.


    She (Madam Liu) made them (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) link their arms together while holding their marriage certificate.


    Before their pictures were being taken, Lady Chen made Chen Lihua remove the sunglasses from her eyes.


    Chen Lihua put the sunglasses back on after the signing of the marriage certificate.


    The picture on the marriage certificate of the latest couple in town came out well because they both had smiles on their faces.


    Actually, when the picture was being taken, both mothers urged their children to smile.


    They kept saying, "We are not mourning, so the two of you should smile".


    Hence they (Madam Liu and Lady Chen) made sure that they both (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) had smiles on their faces before the picture could be taken and used on their marriage certificate.


    After collecting their marriage certificate, both mothers hugged and congratulated them.


    They all came out from the service bureau and walked to Liu Longwei''s SUV.


    Madam Liu and Lady Chen walked in front while the newly married couple walked behind them side by side.


    Lady Chen whispered something to Madam Liu and the latter nodded.


    They both stopped walking and and turned around then, Madam Liu took another picture of the couple and they both turned around and continued walking ahead.


    he couple saw the flashing light from the camera and shook their heads speechlessly.


    They all walked together till they got to Liu Longwei''s SUV and stopped.


    Madam Liu said to her son, "Longwei we old ladies won''t disturb you two anymore, you and Lihua can go on your date while I go with Ju Ju to the Chen family''s Villa to have lunch".


    Liu Longwei replied, "No problem Mum, you can go ahead".


    Then he said to lady Chen, "Aunty you don''t need to worry about Lihua, I will bring her back this evening. Because of the business trip, I think it will be too lonely for her to stay alone at my house. So once I come back from the business trip, I will take her with me".


    Hearing these words ''I think it will be too lonely for her to stay alone'', Chen Lihua felt ripples form in her heart, ''what a considerate husband I married''. Chen Lihua didn''t realize her thoughts.


    Lady Chen smiled and said "Longwei you are really a considerate child and you will make a good husband to our Lihua. And stop with the formalities, don''t call me ''Aunty'' again, you are now my sin in-law so, you should call me Mom or Lady Chen."


    Lady Chen turned to madam Liu and asked, "right Bilu?"


    "Yes of course, that''s the right procedure, they should both call me mom and call you Lady Chen".


    After madam Liu''s funny reply, they four of them laughed heartily.


    "Longwei, Lihua, you two should strike a pose so I can take one more picture before we seperate". Madam Liu asked raising a finger.


    What more could Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua do other than to do as she said, if not, she will continue pestering them.


    For the pose, Liu Longwei relaxed on the car while Chen Lihua stood beside him with her arm on his shoulder, she lifted on of her legs backwards while standing on the other leg.


    At this point, Chen Lihua nearly fell so, Liu Longwei quickly held her on her waist. This caused Chen Lihua to lean on Liu Longwei and both of them looked at each other and laughed.


    And how could this moment pass Madam Liu by, it was at this moment that she snapped them (took their pictures) and showed them to Lady Chen.


    They both looked at the pictures and nodded their heads satisfactorily with their faces beaming smiles and an unconcealed joy.

 Chapter 12 - Why dont you fancy it?.

    "You two take care, we are going" Lady Chen said and and dragged Madam Liu with her.


    If she didn''t drag her out, the latter would have been tempted to take more pictures.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei watched their mothers leave.


    Then, Liu Longwei opened the car door of his black Lincoln Navigator SUV for Chen Lihua "Lihua please get in".


    "Longwei, you don''t need to open the car door for me because I don''t fancy it, but thank you".


    NOTE: They have all changed the way the used to address each other since their status has changed.


    Chen Lihua was more afraid that she would make a mistake when addressing Liu Longwei in front if the elders so she chose to address him by his first name ''Longwei'' even though she found it weird and haven''t adjusted to the latest situation.


    While Liu Longwei has long changed the way he addressed her during the call last night.


    Liu Longwei found her weird ''which lady did not like her husband or boyfriend opening the car door for them? well, the weird lady is actually his newly married wife''.


    Chen Lihua got into the car and closed the door herself while Liu Longwei shaked his head and walked to the other side of the car and sat. Closing the door, he told his Assistant in the driver sit ''Asst Duyi'' to drive to the restaurant.


    Asst Duyi glanced through the rearview mirror and congratulated them "Congratulations Boss, congratulations young Madam".


    Hearing the greetings, Chen Lihua looked up to the rearview mirror but she couldn''t see Asst Duyi''s full face so she just answered "thank you" and continued looking through the window.


    Liu Longwei totally ignored the greetings.


    Seeing how Liu Longwei ignored him, Asst Duyi kept his face straight and drove off.


    Chen Lihua used her side eye to to look at Liu Longwei without moving her head. ''Is he angry because I told him he didn''t need to open the car door for me?, maybe I was rude''.


    Asst Duyi felt the silence in the car was abnormal but he he didn''t want to be fired for breaking the peace in the car, so he didn''t say anything and kept his eyes on the road.


    After struggling with herself for some minutes, Chen Lihua turned her head fully to face Liu Longwei "Longwei, look am sorry for the way I spoke earlier, I know you were only trying toake me feel comfortable but on a serious note, I rejected it because I really don''t fancy it".


    "why don''t you fancy it?" Liu Longwei asked looking at her.


    "It''s because I think it''s childish and meaningless and basically just for showing off. Why will a Man come out from the car and walk to the other side of the car just so he could open the door for the woman who is sitting in the same car he came out from?. Are her hands broken or is she paralyzed?. Chen Lihua asked with a serious expression on her face.


    Hearing her words, Liu Longwei laughed. Even Asst Duyi could no not help but laugh as well, since trying to hold his laughter did not work.


    He really wanted to ask his boss where the young Madam came from, he couldn''t help but think ''The young madam is really weird''.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t help but say, "Lihua you are very funny. Anyway no matter what,you will have to get used to it because you are already the young mistress of the Liu family and in the future when our marriage is made public and we need to attend functions and parties together, the car would have to be opened for you by me or the chauffeur OK?, but other days you can do as you wish.


    "OK but what I said about this car door opening, don''t tell Lady Chen about it if not, deny that am her daughter. Since you found my words funny, I bet she would not find it funny.


    "No problem, this matter stays between us".


    As if remembering there was a third party in the car with them, they both looked at Asst Duyi who in turn looked at them through the rearview mirror.


    He smiled, using his thumb and index finger to make a sign of zipping his mouth then, he put his eyes on the road (concentrated on driving).


    Liu Longwei''s mood improved with Chen Lihua''s apology.


    Chen Lihua looked at the interiors of the car and couldn''t help complimenting, "I really like your car, it''s cool".


    "Oh! thank you". Liu Longwei said


    "you are welcome". Chen Lihua said and looked out of the window again.


    "Do you want me to buy you a car like this?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua turned to look at him immediately with her eyes almost budging out of her eye sockets, "What did you just say?, How can I drive this type of car?, No thank you. It''s obvious that the car is higher than my status and besides it doesn''t fit my profession".


    Liu Longwei almost got a headache from listening to Chen Lihua, ''did this girl just say this car is above her status, does she not know that she is now Madam Liu and also the Chen''s family only child and she can afford it?, let it be, it seems like she doesn''t know, let her continue thinking that way so she can always rely on me''.


    After having his secret thoughts, Liu Longwei still couldn''t help but ask, "what do you mean by the car is higher than your status? It seems like you still don''t know that you have officially become Mrs Liu". Liu Longwei said smiling mysteriously.


    Chen Lihua thought, ''I know that look very well and it can''t be anything good because Lady Chen gives me that face anytime she''s about to do something evil to me''.


    Liu Longwei continued, "The car doesn''t need to fit your profession and let me just shock you, you will be the one driving this car when am away. I will get a chauffeur for you in case you find it too big to drive".


    Liu Longwei purposely expanded his hands wide when he said the words ''too big'' as if to show how big the car was.


    "No thank you, I don''t want it, am comfortable with my car?" Chen Lihua replied waving one of her hands.


    "What''s the name of your car if I may ask?". Liu Longwei asked.


    "Ford Edge SUV". Chen Lihua replied proudly.

 Chapter 13 - Trust my words.

    "Am still not satisfied with it" Liu Longwei said.


    "But am satisfied with it and that''s all that matters" Chen Lihua replied as a matter of fact.


    "No, not at all. It seems like I would have to call Lady Chen to hear her opinion" Liu Longwei smirked, while looking at Chen Lihua, he fished out his phone from his suit pocket.


    Chen Lihua exclaimed in her head ''oh God! not that face again''.


    After finding Lady Chen''s contact, Liu Longwei was about dialing the number when his phone was snatched from him.


    Chen Lihua snatched the phone and hid it behind her, raising her eyebrows as if challenging him.


    Seeing the daring look on Chen Lihua''s face, Liu Longwei stretched his arms to Asst Duyi "Give your phone to me".


    On seeing that things were not in her favour anymore, she threatened Liu Longwei, "if you call Lady Chen and tell her about buying a car for me, I will run away before you come back from your business trip".


    When Asst Duyi heard Chen Lihua''s threatening words, he was shocked, he couldn''t help but think if the young madam just threatened the cold stoned Boss.


    Anybody that has threatened the boss before does not exist on planet earth''.


    Liu Longwei stared at the woman by his side in disbelief he couldn''t help but ask, "Did you just threaten me?".


    "No, how could I. In fact, who am I?, I was just trying to negotiate with you". Chen Lihua with a serious expression on her face, still hiding the phone at her back.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua just stared at each other for seconds.


    Feeling the silence, Asst Duyi decided to interrupt, "Boss, should I still give the phone to you?".


    At his words, the couple turned to look at him.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, while Liu Longwei asked, "Are you mad?, Since your brain has come to a halt, I have no use for it hence, your salary will have to come to a halt as well".


    Seeing as he was being attacked by the couple and that his salary was about to be cut off, Asst Duyi quickly apologized and shut his mouth.


    He remained invincible throughout the journey to the restaurant.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua turned back to look at each other.


    Liu Longwei gave up looking at Chen Lihua and said, "Alright I give up, hurry up and return the phone to me, I won''t call Lady Chen to complain about you anymore".


    "Are you sure?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Yes, trust my words" Liu Longwei said reassuringly .


    "But I really don''t want to trust your words". Chen Lihua said shaking her head.


    "You really have no choice right now, but if you don''t return the phone to me, Do you believe I won''t call Lady Chen with Asst Duyi''s phone and complain about you and also tell her you threatened to run away, how does that sound?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Upon seeing her shocked face, Liu Longwei said, "how about giving my phone to me now so we can settle this matter amicably?".


    Seeing as the tables has turned around and she was now the person being threatened, Chen Lihua gave the phone back to him, "Take your phone".


    After she returned the phone to Liu Longwei, Chen Lihua watched him till he put the phone back into his suit pocket before shifting her gaze to the window.


    Naturally, Liu Longwei noticed Chen Lihua''s gaze but decided not to say anything.


    Silence engulfed the car before it was broken by Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei stared at the glasses on Chen Lihua''s eyes and couldn''t help but feel bothered about it, "Liihua, do you always put on this medicated glasses?".


    Chen Lihua shifted her gaze from the window to him, "No, I wear the glasses when my eyes are about to be stressed out or before I enter any bright place. Are you bothered about the glasses?".


    "No, I was just asking to understand your condition better even though, your mother has said one or two things about it to me" Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua nodded her head in acknowledgement.

 Chapter 14 - Chen Lihua bearing a grudge.

    In the bullet proofed Mercedes Benz, Lady Chen and Madam Liu went through the pictures in the camera.


    The both commented on the pictures happily.


    After watching the pictures, Lady Chen called the Chen Villa. Bultler Li picked up the call. He heard Lady Chen''s happy voice and greeted her, "Good afternoon Lady Chen".


    Lady Chen responded to the greetings and relayed some instructions, "Tell Zin to quickly prepare sumptous dishes enough for everybody in the house and a bottle of Champagne.


    "Madam you sound so happy, did you close a new business deal?" Bultler Li asked.


    Actually, Bultler Li would never dare to question Lady Chen, he only did that because the latter was in a good mood.


    "It''s nothing of that sort. I don''t have all the time in the world to waste on you, you all will find out later, but let me give you a heads up, am coming with Madam Liu of the Liu group". Lady Chen answered and ended the call.


    Bultler Li was bewildered, ''what did Lady Chen just say?, she''s coming with the Madam of the Liu group? There can''t be any news better than this.


    He hurriedly told Aunt Zin to prepare the dishes and get the bottle of wine ready, then also gave orders to the maids to clean up the whole house again even though the house was neat.


    He also told them the caliber of the person coming with Lady Chen.


    Everybody in the Chen Villa put hands together to get their work done quickly.


    Unbest known to them, the Madam Liu that was coming was their young Miss''s mother in-law. What a mind blowing news to them when they found out about it.


    After terminating the call with Bultler Li, Lady Chen continued chatting with Madam Liu untill the got to the Chen Villa.


    Back to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei looked at the road. He saw that they were about to reach the restaurant, so he decided to make peace with Chen Lihua even though they weren''t quarreling, but it would not be right for her to remain frowning when they got to the restaurant, how was he supposed to talk to her if her face remained like that?.


    And besides, they were going on their first date, how was he supposed to talk to her, and that makes it the more reason for him to ease her mind, so she wouldn''t bear a grudge against him because to him, she looks like someone who would do so.


    So he asked her, "Lihua hope you are not angry?".


    Lihua turned to look at him surprised at the question, she answered, "Angry? no am not angry, how can I be angry?".


    Chen Lihua replied and crossed her legs, displaying her thighs which showed from the slit design on her gown.


    Liu Longwei saw Chen Lihua''s exposed slender fair thighs and looked away.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even know her thighs were on display.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t tell her because it would be akward since they weren''t close enough and also, Asst Duyi wasn''t looking so, he felt there wasn''t any problem with him looking at it alone.


    Liu Longwei concentrated and listened to Chen Lihua.


    From her tone, it was obvious that she indeed had a grudge against him.


    Liu Longwei looked towards Asst Duyi and couldn''t help but pity him. Earlier he clearly offended her when he asked about giving his phone to him.


    He couldn''t help but wonder how Chen Lihua would deal with him.


    But for now, he still had to appease her for himself.


    "Lihua you are obviously angry at me"


    "Am not that angry, Am just a little bit annoyed, why did you threaten me?" Chen Lihua asked wanting to know the reason.


    "Am sorry, I did that because I didn''t want us to be akward so, I wanted to make the atmosphere surrounding us lively. Don''t take my actions and the words I said earlier to heart, I was just trying to make you feel free and comfortable whenever we are together" Liu Longwei explained.

 Chapter 15 - Lakeview Green.

    Hearing his explanation, Chen Lihua felt that his explanation made sense so, she gave a bright smile displaying the small dimples on her cheeks responding happily, she said "Ok".


    Liu Longwei saw Chen Lihua''s dimples and was surprised because since their interactions earlier, he can count a handful of times she smiled, but he didn''t notice any dimples even in her pictures.


    But now seeing her smile fully, the dimples couldn''t be hidden anymore.


    Although her dimples weren''t big, it was at least something because it made her look Sweet.


    Looking at the woman now his wife, he felt that he had so many veils over her to unveil.


    He complimented her, "your dimples are beautiful, I never knew you had dimples, although they are not as big a lady Chen''s, they are still noticeable. Where did the dimples go earlier when you smiled warmly at my mother, did the dimples go on hibernation?".


    Chen Lihua laughed heartily while covering her mouth so that her opened mouth wouldn''t be seen but, it didn''t stop her dimples from being seen at the course of her laughter.


    She had a feeling that their marriage would be blissful with the way things were currently going even though their marriage will be unpredictable in the future.


    She still replied him, "You are funny, what hibernation?. My dimples didn''t show earlier because I didn''t laugh like this, I had an image to keep and there''s nothing that funny to laugh about, how could I laugh like that in public?, it''s not like am a wide animal. Am a schmick young woman OK?".


    Chen Lihua said the last sentence pointing at herself.


    "Agreed, you are schmick young woman, your dressing and demeanor says it all". Liu Longwei replied looking at Chen Lihua from her head to her toe.


    Then, his eyes lingered on Chen Lihua''s exposed thighs for a while before looking away.


    Chen Lihua followed his eyes and caught him staring at her exposed thighs, so she widened her eyes a bit before returning to a calm composure, then she placed her hands on her exposed thighs to cover some of the exposed part.


    In 5 minutes time, they arrived in one of the most exclusive Italian restaurant in the capital, ''Opera Bombana''.


    This restaurant is the vision of the three-Michelin-star chef ''Umberto Bombana''.


    Opera Bombana is located in city B''s Lakeview green, a striking green building that combines art gallery, shopping and office space.


    The business centre in Lakeview Green is situated on the top floor, of an unique LEED Platinum Certified complex, which is expected to be China''s greenest building and the first LEED platinum rated development in China.


    The building is a prestigious landmark and is famous for the high-end material used, its artistic fit-out design as well as the modern art galleries. All buildings are combined and locked into their own ''micro-climate'' in the shape of a pyramid, in which the roof cover is composed of similar to the Olympic National Aquatics Center in Beijing, also known as the Beijing Olympic Water Cube.


    With easy access to many means of public transportation including metro, taxi and bus, Lakeview Green has excellent connections to other districts and facilities in Beijing.


    Many 5-star hotels, High-end restaurants, department stores and Malls such as Lan Club Restaurant, Chen''s Mall are also in close proximity.


    The most important information is that, Lakeview Green is Owned by the Liu group but overseen by the Head of sales and marketing at Parkview Green.


    Everybody in the city knows that the Liu Group did a good job on Lakeview Green.


    When they got to the restaurant, Chen Lihua said, "I have never been to this place before because I don''t socialize and hate going out the most, so I don''t know many places even though am in the City. If you didn''t bring me here, I wouldn''t have known that this place was close to Chen''s mall".


    "This means that you need to go out more often, at least once in a while you have to drive around", Liu Longwei replied.


    "I will see to that, since I came back from abroad, I haven''t had the time and energy to drive about and I have never done that", Chen Lihua said with a slight frown on her face.


    "I know you didn''t study in any University in country C, so you should try to drive around as the country has developed much more than 7 years ago".


    Liu Longwei replied while wondering how Lihua came back after 7 years to country C and didn''t bother knowing about the changes that happened when she was away.

 Chapter 16 - Then, I will gladly anticipate.

    Chen Lihua came back to Country C three months ago after obtaining a medical degree in Bachelor of medicine, Bachelor of surgery (MBBS, MBchB, BMBS) at Harvard University in the United States of America.


    She obtained her medical license there and also practiced medicine for a while before coming back.


    Chen Lihua started working in one of the biggest private hospital Owned by the Liu group in Country C two weeks after she returned to the country.


    She works at Standard Union Hospital (SUH) here in City B. Lady Chen helped her process it.


    Standard Union Hospital (SUH) is a hospital affiliated to standard Union Medical College, a private college set up by the China Medical Board of Liu (Group) Foundation. It boasts excellent doctors and advanced medical equipments.


    The hospital is staffed by a team of over 20 internationally trained and certified physicians, surgeons and dentists and supported by a team of bi-lingual nurses, technicians and support staff. 24hr Emergency Room and ICU.


    It has also developed a large number of medical talents, and conducted lots of high level medical researches, which all make it play a significant role and enjoy a good reputation in modern medical history in Country C.


    "Ok", Chen Lihua replied.


    After answering him, they both took the elevator to the restaurant.


    Liu Longwei confirmed their reservation and they both went to their table.


    An Italian Opera could be heard playing softly in the restaurant.


    Chen Lihua pulled out the seat herself and sat down.


    Liu Longwei sat opposite her.


    Chen Lihua clasped her hands together on the table and asked, "So, what made you bring me to this Italian restaurant".


    Liu Longwei said plainly, "Your mother told me you liked foreign dishes, so I thought you would like Italian dishes that''s why I brought you here. This restaurant is the best Italian restaurant in the city".


    "You are really thoughtful. I like trying new dishes. During my stay in the United States of America, I learnt to cook so many foreign dishes from my friends who came from different countries". Chen Lihua replied proudly.


    Liu Longwei replied "Wow! you really had the energy and time to learn".


    "Of course, I made time myself. I''ve always been interested in cooking. No matter how busy I am in this world, as far as I want to learn something, I will surely make out time for it". Chen Lihua replied.


    "Since you are so interested in cooking, I bet your culinary skills are advanced ". Liu Longwei asked.


    "My culinary skills have always been good. Am skilled in cooking. I started cooking when I was 9 years old so, am used to cooking. I cook when I have the energy, Lady Chen can attest to it, my food is always delicious". Chen Lihua replied proudly.


    "This means my stomach won''t lack good food and I don''t have to go to any restaurant in the near future". Liu Longwei said, smiling.


    "Yes, given that am not too busy or occupied with important matters. Without important matters in the way, I assure you that your stomach and heart will be satisfied". Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei smiled and replied, "Then, I will gladly anticipate. Let''s eat first before we continue with the discussions".


    Then he called a waiter over. The waiter came to their table and gave them two food menu.


    As they went through the menu, Chen Lihua recognized few dishes and smiled.


    Then she said to Liu Longwei, "Please help me order, am not familiar with the restaurant and I think you have a better idea on the best dishes here".


    Liu Longwei smiled and agreed, "Ok".


    Then he closed the menu and turned to the waiter saying, "We will both have taghiolini spaghetti and veal chop, then get us a bottle of wine".


    The waiter took the two food menu and left. He returned in five minutes time with their order.


    Then they picked up their cutlery and ate in silence.


    As they were eating, Liu Longwei opened the bottle of Italian wine and filled their wine glasses with it.


    He covered the bottle of wine with its cover and put it on the table, then he picked up his own glass of wine and raised it towards Chen Lihua and said, "Let''s toast to Our new Union".


    Chen Lihua smiled and picked up her own glass of wine and they both clinked their glasses together.


    They both drank the wine there after, they continued eating in silence.


    After their meal, they waiters took their plates away, leaving the unfinished bottle of wine and their wine glasses.

 Chapter 17 - No objections.

    "The meal was delicious, thanks a lot for the recommendation". Chen Lihua said obviously satisfied.


    "You are welcome. Have you eaten this dish before?", Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua gave a simple reply, "No".


    "OK, we can drink the remaining wine while we talk". Liu Longwei said and refilled their wine glasses with wine.


    Then he handed Chen Lihua''s wine glass to her.


    They both took a sip from their wine glasses before putting them on the table.


    "I liked the wine as well". Chen Lihua commented.


    Liu Longwei smiled and said "Thanks".


    Chen Lihua replied "You are welcome".


    "I like the sunglasses you wore earlier, you look good on it, I prefer it to the medicated glasses over your eyes now. Don''t get me wrong, the medicated glasses look good on you as well", Liu Longwei said truthfully.


    Chen Lihua replied, "Thanks for the compliment but to me, it''s weird eating with the sunglasses over my eyes, the medicated glasses is more respectable to me".


    "OK, there''s no harm in it. How do you manage to perform surgeries with your eyes, don''t you have troubles?"


    "That''s not a problem at all", Chen Lihua replied.


    "Hopefully it doesn''t bother you. I have to apologize to you". Liu Longwei said looking at Chen Lihua in the eyes.


    "Why the sudden apology?", Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei replied, "Am sorry for marrying you just like that without us dating".


    Hearing the reason for the apology, Chen Lihua felt that Liu Longwei was very reasonable.


    Seems like he cares about my feelings.


    Thus, she smiled and replied, "There''s no problem at all".


    "It''s not OK at all", Liu Longwei said shaking his head before continuing.


    "I will use the period we have before we hold our wedding to make it up to you".


    "Your words are well acknowledged by me", Chen Lihua responded parting her chest with her hand.


    "When are we holding the wedding?", Chen Lihua inquired.


    "It will be held 3 months from now, I will tell our mothers about it when I take you back to the Chen Villa". Liu Longwei said, took a breath and continued.


    "I want the wedding to be held as soon as possible and also leave enough time for the planning".


    "It seems like you have already planned everything. When did you plan all these?", Chen Lihua questioned.


    "I thought about it as we ate our food. Do you have any objections or anything to say?"


    Liu Longwei asked, worried that Chen Lihua wouldn''t like the arrangements.


    Chen Lihua replied him, "No objections. If I have anything to say about it, I will let you know in due time".


    "OK", Liu Longwei said.


    Having suddenly remembered something, Liu Longwei raised his hands on the table and balanced his jaw on them.


    Then he asked Chen Lihua, "I asked you earlier why you didn''t want our marriage known to the public and you said it was discussion for later. I guess the time is right for you to answer the question".


    Chen Lihua was taken aback by the question because she was trying to remember when she said something about it to him.


    Suddenly remembering, she answered him saying, "Oh! about that, I don''t have strength for reporters following me around and questioning me. I don''t want my quiet life to be disturbed. The public don''t even know am the Chen''s family daughter and I don''t want them to know. Imagine what will happen if the find out about my relationship with the Chen''s family and then know that am married to You?".


    Chen Lihua''s body vibrated and she shakes her head saying, "The tranquility in my life won''t exist anymore".


    Chen Lihua paused for a while before continuing with her explanation.


    "Also, if the public find out about my identity, my work will be at risk because everybody will think I relied on my identity reach where I am today".


    "So please don''t let them (the public) know, let them find out on their own". Chen Lihua said grabbing Liu Longwei''s hands as if her life depended on his answer.


    "It''s OK, I understand you", Liu Longwei said wondering what kind of person doesn''t like being famous. Anyway he has seen that kind of person because, that person is the one holding his hands right now, his wife, ''Liu Lihua''.


    Having heard a positive reply from Liu Longwei, Chen Lihua withdrew her hands happily.


    Liu Longwei looked at Chen Lihua''s hands saying, "When I shaked your hands earlier, and also when you held my hands just now, I noticed that your hand was warm, even when I held you during the time my mother took our pictures close to the car, I felt your warm body through your clothes".


    Liu Longwei smiled and teased Chen Lihua, "Seeing that your body is warm, I see that it wouldn''t be long before you give me a child".

 Chapter 18 - On your own.

    Hearing his words, Chen Lihua sprayed the wine in her mouth towards Liu Longwei and coughed violently.


    As if Liu Longwei knew what was coming for him, he dodged the wine flying towards his direction.


    Seeing Chen Lihua''s red face and continous coughing, he stood up and went behind her, patting her back, he said, "Sorry, take it easy".


    Feeling Liu Longwei''s hands on her back, Chen Lihua swatted his hand and pushed it away glaring at him, she coughed again.


    Liu Longwei raised his hands up in surrender, he apologized again and went back to his sit.


    When Chen Lihua got herself, she looked at Liu Longwei and said in a serious tone, "Am sorry to shatter your sweet dreams, don''t even think about it".


    Liu Longwei didn''t understand or actually, he didn''t want believe what his brain was trying to process, so he simply asked, "I don''t understand, can you elaborate more on what you are talking about?".


    Chen Lihua shifted on her seat, feeling comfortable, she explained, "let me give you a heads up now, you are not allowed to touch me till after our wedding".


    "I don''t understand, by touching, do you mean this?", Liu Longwei asked touching her hands that were on the table.


    Chen Lihua removed her hands from his grasp saying, "I know you are pretending not to understand, but there is no harm in explaining again. When I mean you are not allowed to touch me, I meant you are not allowed to get intimate with me till I see a wedding ring on my ring finger".


    Chen Lihua replied pointing at her ring finger, then she put her hands on the table. Then she continued, "Do you understand now Mr Liu?"


    "Am sorry Mrs Liu, but my brain has still refused to process what you just said", Liu Longwei said.


    At first when he heard what Chen Lihua said, he was shocked but decided to control his facial expression and pretended not to have understood her words.


    "Oh!" Chen Lihua said showing a fake concerned face, she continued, "Mr Liu, I''ve tried to explain to you in different ways, but it seems like your dim witted brain has refused to understand and process the information talk more of translating it to you, Since am not a neurologist, I can not help you any further, so I suggest you visit one. Maybe by then, you will be able to understand my words".


    Chen Lihua replied him and smiled confidently as if winning him in a game of chess.


    Having listened to Chen Lihua''s words, Liu Longwei was at a loss for words but seeing as he had no other option he grabbed Chen Lihua''s hands as if his destiny was on her beck and call, "Lihua please tell me that was a joke?".


    Chen Lihua removed her hands from his grasp, smiling, she said to him without batting her eyes in English in her fine American accent, "Am sorry to disappoint you Longwei, but am damm serious about this matter".


    She patted his hands gently and withdrew them.


    Chen Lihua cannot speak Chinese smoothly without at least adding an English word, as her 7 years in the United States washed most Chinese words out from her brain.


    Most times, she speaks complete English. You just have to be in luck to understand her words, if not, you are ''on your own'' (OYO).


    But she really tries her best to mix English with Chinese so that people who do not hear English language would at least understand what she was saying.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua stared at each other for seconds in silence.


    "Lihua, you need to understand something, we are officially married so there is nothing inappropriate about us being intimate, OK?", Liu Longwei explained trying to get Chen Lihua to understand his point.


    Chen Lihua shaked her head saying, "I know, but it feels weird just signing the marriage certificate and being intimate immediately without a wedding. Please Longwei understand me. You don''t have to wait too long, our wedding is in three months time. By then, you will be free to do whatever you like with me and I would not object to it".


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh and said, "Don''t make it sound like you call the shots here but not to worry, I understand and will respect your decision".


    Liu Longwei relaxed his back on the chair before continuing, "After all, I''ve been single all my life and haven''t been intimate with anyone at all. It''s not like I can''t control myself when I''ve been doing that, so this decision of yours won''t affect me".


    He wanted to add something else, but decided against it, as it may lead to a serious problem in their relationship.

 Chapter 19 - You didnt see well.

    Looking at Liu Longwei''s relaxed and calm attitude, Chen Lihua felt bad.


    She felt that she didn''t approach this matter in the right way.


    Thinking that Liu Longwei was not happy, she said, "Longwei look, am really sorry for saying this out of the blue, I know we are married already and anything intimate between us is completely legal, but I really hope you get my point. I will take the three months we have before our wedding as our dating period, I can''t just be too intimate with someone I don''t know very well even if he is my husband".


    Completely understanding her point, Liu Longwei nodded his head in agreement, "OK, I understand".


    Chen Lihua still feeling somewhat bad fiddled with her nails and said, "You can hug or peck me, but as for the other part, forget it till after the wedding".


    After speaking, Chen Lihua was so embarrassed that she bent her neck downwards.


    Did I just say something so awkward like that?.


    Liu Longwei was immediately ammused on seeing Chen Lihua''s embarrassed expression.


    He saw how she bowed her head and fiddled with her fingers in embarrassment.


    He couldn''t help but think, ''I thought this girl was bold, I never knew something like this could make her feel embarrassed''.


    Anyway, if she didn''t feel embarrassed, I would have been worried about what in this world could make her embarrassed.


    Seeing her still embarrassed, Liu Longwei couldn''t help but tease her more, "Lihua, I don''t understand, what do you mean by the other part?"


    Liu Longwei asked showing a confused face.


    As soon as those words left his mouth, Chen Lihua looked up and she locked eyes with him.


    Seeing her looking at him eyeball to eyeball, Liu Longwei laughed mischievously displaying a pair of seductive eyes.


    Chen Lihua was completely immersed in those pair of seductive eyes.


    Liu Longwei laughed loudly this time around seeing Chen Lihua''s lost look.


    Chen Lihua was brought back to the present by Liu Longwei''s laughter.


    Having completely gotten a hold of herself, Chen Lihua felt embarrassed.


    Why was I so lost looming at his eyes?, but those pair of eyes can seduce and drown anybody.


    As if suddenly discovering that Liu Longwei had teased her earlier, Chen Lihua raised the middle finger of her right hand towards Liu Longwei.


    As if suddenly discovering where she was, Chen Lihua immediately put her finger down and composed herself acting like she wasn''t caught in the act.


    Luckily for her, nobody looked towards their direction when she did that, so she could still maintain her dignity.


    Liu Longwei widened his eyes when he saw Chen Lihua''s raised middle finger, so he said, "I can''t believe that the Chen family''s well cultured daughter who is my wife, Mrs Liu, raised her middle finger at me".


    Liu Longwei asked, "Did you just mean fuck me? don''t worry, I will I return do that to you".


    Return what, by returning that to me, did he mean.......


    ''Ah! I don''t need anything, thank you for your concern''.


    Chen Lihua hurriedly shaked her head, profusely while waving her right hand saying, "Not at all. Longwei you just said am well cultured, so how could a well cultured young lady like behave improperly?, You didn''t see well".


    "Are you sure I didn''t see well?, it''s not like I have an eye problem nor am I wearing medicated glasses like you", Liu Longwei asked surprised at how the woman before him could deny the things that happened before him few minutes ago without batting an eye.


    "Am serious Longwei, I was just checking the length of my middle finger, am even surprised that it has grown longer".


    Chen Lihua said and raised her middle finger this time around, she raised her index finger as well as if comparing their height.


    To make what she demonstrated believable, she even said, "Longwei look, see the height difference. I didn''t even know my middle finger has grown up like this".


    Liu Longwei looked at Chen Lihua and became speechless.


    Who is this woman trying to deceive, a child?, an idiot? or a non living thing?.


    Because am very sure that she could only deceive those categories.

 Chapter 20 - What is this woman up to?.

    But he decided to let her be.


    By the time they finished their wine, and little chat, it was almost time for dinner.


    So, the two got up and left after Liu Longwei settled the bills.


    When they came out from Lakeview Green building, Asst Duyi has already brought the car over, at lakeview''s entrance.


    Chen Lihua suddenly saw a man slightly older than Liu Longwei come up to her saying, "Hello young madam".


    Chen Lihua didn''t recognize the man standing before her, so she asked, "Excuse me, who are you?, do I know you?".


    Chen Lihua asked making gestures with her hands.


    The smile on Asst Duyi''s face froze. ''Is the young Madam playing pranks on me? or is she trying to get back at me?''.


    Even Liu Longwei couldn''t help but look at Chen Lihua, ''What''s this woman up to?, has she finally decided to teach Duyi a lesson?''.


    What both of them didn''t know was that Chen Lihua actually didn''t recognize Asst Duyi as she didn''t pay attention to him.


    The real problem with Chen Lihua was that she wasn''t able to recognize people if she saw them once and then saw them unexpectedly after some time, days or years.


    Even if she spoke with the person for a few minutes, she wouldn''t remember you as far as she didn''t care to remember or if she didn''t have any impression of you.


    With this, you can say that this matter was one of Chen Lihua''s weaknesses.


    Being asked that type of question, Asst Duyi almost wanted to cry, but he couldn''t shed any tears.


    Asst Duyi had no choice than to explain, "young madam, am Asst Duyi, Bosse''s personal assistant, the one who drove you to this place".


    When Chen Lihua heard Asst Duyi''s answer, she smiled embarrassingly saying, "Oh! sorry, I didn''t recognize you just now because I didn''t see your face very well in the car when I looked at you through the rearview mirror".


    "No problem Madam", Asst Duyi replied and sighed in relief at Chen Lihua''s explanation.


    He taught the Bosse''s wife was trying to get back at him for offending her earlier in the car, but didn''t know the reason would be because of this.


    Asst Duyi walked behind Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua as they all walked to the car.


    As they came to a stop beside the car, Asst Duyi wanted to open the car door for them but remembered what happened during the day and what Chen Lihua said, he gave up and went to sit in the driver seat leaving the couple to handle things themselves.


    Standing beside Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei measured their height difference with his eyes.


    Seeing the little difference in their height, Liu Longwei said, "what a tall woman you are".


    Looking at him from the crown of his head down to the sole of his feet, Chen Lihua replied, "And what a long man you are".


    Liu Longwei totally didn''t see that coming, because he didn''t know Chen Lihua would retaliate, so he ridiculed her.


    "Thank you, but am still taller than you with you on heels".


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "when I wear 6 inches heels, I will see where you will put your face, because, we would be of the same height, no in fact, I will definitely be taller than you".


    Liu Longwei''s gaze turned a few shades darker, he couldn''t help it when his height was being compared with anyone especially a woman, because he was proud and believed that no woman could match up with his height.


    He looked at her legs and couldn''t help asking, "Are you still thinking of wearing 6 inches heel?, can you still walk with it?".


    Liu Longwei asked sincerely worried about her legs and the burden her legs would be on, if she actually wore those heels.


    Chen Lihua scoffed as if she just heard a joke, "What a joke, I can even run with the six inches, what''s there to be worried about?''.


    After answering him, she entered the car and closed the door leaving him standing there by himself.


    Liu Longwei was shocked, ''Did this woman just abandon me after talking?''


    Liu Longwei shaked his head speechless and entered the car.

 Chapter 21 - She would obviously treat his fuck up.

    When Liu Longwei entered the car, he said to Chen Lihua, "Am a little worried, I wonder how our children will turn out to be. Seeing how tall we are, are we going to give birth to giants?".


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him and answered, "You keep talking about children, don''t you think is too early for that?, you are really getting ahead of yourself with these thoughts".


    "Lihua, there is nothing wrong with me thinking about it and am not getting ahead of myself, am merrily thinking about our future. It''s just like business, you have to think about the future and make plans for it".


    Liu Longwei answered with a serious facial expression.


    Chen Lihua smiled half heartedly saying, "Since you think of it as business then, you have my full support, happy thinking".


    After answering him, Chen Lihua took out her mobile phone from her bag and went through it.


    Liu Longwei totally gave up.


    Arguing with this woman completely drains my energy and a total waste of time. I''d better not say anything more to her.


    Having completely given up on arguing with Chen Lihua, he said to Asst Duyi, "To the Chen Villa".


    Asst Duyi panicked and wanted to tell Liu Longwei that he didn''t know the way to the Chen Villa.


    But on a second note, he quickly suppressed his thoughts.


    Looking at Chen Lihua through the rearview mirror, he felt that he couldn''t afford to offend the young Madam as he had already offended her before and doing that again wouldn''t be good.


    He clearly saw just now, that his boss couldn''t win over her, so who was he compared to his boss.


    I really don''t want to be thrown out of the car or glared to death by those pair of eyes hidden behind those glasses.


    Thinking till this point, he shuddered and decided to go for another alternative.


    So he just ignited the car and drove out of Lakeview Green.


    He secretely took his phone and was intending to use it to search for the location of of Chen Villa on the internet.


    But who was Liu Longwei, he just wasn''t the youngest billionaire in country C for nothing.


    He was a well known business man and didn''t get to where he was today by being foolish or muddleheaded.


    He could see right through people so, he saw through Asst Duyi''s predicament.


    Liu Longwei glanced at Chen Lihua and then back to Asst Duyi. He sighed and decided to help Asst Duyi.


    Who knows how this tigress sitting beside him would treat Asst Duyi.


    Asst Duyi had already offended her before, and Chen Lihua was definitely one to bear grudges as he had already experienced it a handful of times despite interacting with her for the first time that day.


    Moreover, if she found out that Asst Duyi didn''t pay attention to her as the young mistress and as his wife by not not even knowing where she lived, given already that she hadn''t even settled scores with him for the earlier behavior, she would obviously treat his fuck up.


    And as Duyi is his personal assistant, Chen Lihua might even look down on him, wondering how he is able to manage the people under him, and how his office work wasn''t affected by having a block headed personal assistant by the side.


    After all these considerations, Liu Longwei decided to help Asst Duyi.


    Liu Longwei immediately asked Chen Lihua, "In Royal district, are there any other Villas that is as big as and can rival Chen villa?. No 1 Royal district has always been the biggest and most expensive Villa in that district".


    Chen Lihua lifted her eyes from the phone in her hands and replied, "There are other villas in Royal district, but Chen''s Villa is still the biggest and most expensive Villa in that area. Why, do you want to buy any Villa in Royal district?".

 Chapter 22 - Are you Uncomfortable?.

    Chen Lihua inquired ignorant of Liu Longwei''s schemes.


    Liu Longwei smiled answering, "No, I was only curious".


    Chen Lihua replied with an "Ok" and continued looking at her phone.


    Chen Lihua was trying to get information from of her colleague''s in the hospital to know if there was any major case in the hospital for the day.


    Because Lady Chen helped her take a day off from the Hospital Director.


    As a new doctor in a highly competitive and we''ll recognized hospital in country c (China) like SUH, where everybody were highly trained and competing for the one with the most talent.


    Chen Lihua was not supposed to slack off for even a bit.


    And the hospital does not grant a day off to their workers who has worked less than a 6 months for any personal purposes or grant a leave for those who has worked for less than 2 years, as they will be replaced immediately if not meeting the above requirements.


    But who was lady Chen?, the people or citizens will say that she was among the top ten most influential women in China.


    She single handedly ran the Chen group after her husband''s demise and Chen group was still flourishing.


    So you could say Lady Chen raised the Chen group to where it was today with her influence.


    This makes it clear that she could make people help her if she wanted something without putting in much effort.


    Back to business.


    When Asst Duyi heard the address to the Chen Villa, he quickly dropped his phone and input the address into the GPS system in the car and secretly thanked his Boss in his heart for saving him from an unknown death.


    After imputing the address into the car''s GPS system, he swore to become more capable and prove himself worthy again to his Boss and to Chen Lihua.


    Unknown to Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua, a pleasant surprise was already awaiting them in the Chen Villa.


    Liu Longwei watched Chen Lihua keep her phone back in her bag and started fiddling with the French tips (nails) on her fingers.


    With the way Chen Lihua was fiddling with the nails, it looked to Liu Longwei that she wanted to pull them out.


    So he asked, "Are you uncomfortable?".


    Chen Lihua looked at Liu Longwei and followed his eyes to her nails before saying,


    "Am not used to fixing nails, I fix them once in a blue moon. As a doctor, all these are unnecessary and useless because you can''t fix these nails and enter the theater. And as a medical student it is inappropriate".


    "But the nails look nice to me, since you are not used to fixing them, why all these trouble?".


    "Thanks, but I just felt like fixing them. I want to know that feeling again".


    Liu Longwei frowned a little and took her hand in his. He touched her fingers and the nails before saying, "Since you are uncomfortable, don''t fix them again".


    "Ok", Chen Lihua answered and took her hands back from his hold.


    Liu Longwei saw how uncomfortable Chen Lihua was, just for the mere holding of hands and shakes his head.


    "Are you that uncomfortable because I held your hands?"


    Chen Lihua gave a plain reply, "Somehow".


    "I thought you gave permission for hugs and pecks, and am sure holding of hands is nothing compared to them. So why are you uncomfortable now?".


    Chen Lihua sighed, "it feels weird. Am sorry, I will get used to it".


    "As far as you get used to it, then everything is OK. Otherwise, I will think you have a problem".

 Chapter 23 - This is Lihuas mother in-law.

    When Lady Chen and Madam Liu arrived at the Chen Villa, a whole entourage of servants were already outside to welcome them.


    The two bodyguards stationed at the door leading to the entrance, went to either sides of the car, each opening the door for lady Chen and Madam Liu.


    As Lady Chen and Madam Liu alighted from the car, they were greeted by the bodyguards and servants at the door with Bultler Li leading then, "Welcome back lady Chen, welcome Madam Liu".


    There manner of greetings showed that had sense and were well trained.


    They first greeted their mistress before greeting Madam Liu, irrespective of the fact that Madam Liu came or was married into the number one most prestigious and prominent family in Country C (China).


    They were not trying to curry favour at all, they only did the rightful thing.


    Lady Chen smiled in reponse to their greetings as she didn''t want to say anything at the moment.


    While Madam Liu replied, "thank you, there is no need for all of these".


    They servants were happy about seeing Madam Liu from a very close range, and even thanking them for the greetings.


    Madam Liu turned to Lady Chen, "Ju Ju don''t stress yourself next time".


    Lady Chen smiled, "It''s the proper thing to do, as it''s your first time to the Chen Villa, and we also have a new status in our relationship".


    The servants heard Lady Chen''s words and started wondering what the status was.


    Just then, Lady Chen glance at them and announced, "This is Lihua''s mother in-law, Madam Liu".


    As she finished speaking, the servants were shocked beyond words because, just this morning, their young Miss was still single and Lady Chen didn''t tell them anything of this sort beforehand.


    So even with their shocked expressions, they congratulated Lady Chen and Madam Liu.


    Bultler Li quickly led them inside.


    Arriving inside, Madam Liu admired the interior decorations and praised Lady Chen for her decorative skills.


    Lady Chen brought Lady Chen to the living room and they both sat down together on a two cushioned sofa.


    Aunt Zin arrived with two mildly chilled bottled water and two water glass cups in a tray.


    Dropping the tray on the table, she opened the bottled water and poured water in each of the glass cups.


    Then she handed the glass cups filled with water to Lady Chen and Madam Liu.


    Both women drank the water and dropped the cups on the tray.


    Aunt Zin left with the tray after receiving instructions from Lady Chen to immediately serve the food and Chapagne.


    "Ju Ju, your daughter is really more beautiful than in the pictures. Even with that shape, she looks like a model. You really trained your daughter to carry your elegant demeanor and aura".


    "Thanks for the praises, your son has a great disposition as well".


    Both ladies laughed and chatted a little before being interrupted by Aunt Zin who told them that lunch was served.


    Lady Chen instructed Bultler Li to Open three new bottles of expensive wine for the servents and bodyguards in the house.


    Bultler Li smiled happily and thanked Lady Chen before going away.


    During their (Lady Chen and Madam Liu) meal, they toasted themselves with the Chapagne in their new relationship status and more happiness to their children.


    After their lunch, Lady Chen and Madam Liu went back to the living room to sit, While Aunt Zin tidied up the dinning room.


    "Ju Ju thanks for the meal".


    Lady Chen gave a simple reply, "You are welcome".


    "Ju Ju, don''t you think it''s wrong for Lihua to spend the night here, She''s already married to Longwei and so, she''s supposed to spend a night with him. Since Liu Longwei will travel tomorrow morning, at least, let them stay together for tonight. What do you think?"

 Chapter 24 - All the night gowns in her closet are meant for nuns.

    Lady Chen thought for a while before replying, "It''s indeed not right but, Longwei already said that Chen Lihua will stay here till he comes back, so that she (Chen Lihua) will not be lonely staying in the mansion by herself".


    "It''s true, but am not saying Lihua should continue staying in the house alone, at least for tonight, let her go with Longwei after all, they are a newly married couple. And besides, she can come to visit me or you, staying a few days with either of us, untill she gets used to it. That way, she won''t be bored or lonely".


    Hearing Madam Liu''s suggestions and finding that it made sense, Lady Chen aftercare, "Bilu, what you said is right. I will immediately go and pack a few of Lihua''s belongings. Once they (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua), I will allow them to have dinner before driving them away".


    After talking, Lady Chen paused and having thought of something, she asked, "Bilu, why do I feel like you are trying to take my daughter from me?"


    Madam Liu coughed awkwardly having been caught in the act, she immediately fawned over Lady Chen, "Aiyah!, how can you say that, we are family. Lihua is your gem, well understood. She''s after all my daughter in-law and she needs to stay together with her husband at least the night of their marriage. And am not taking Lihua away from you".


    Lady Chen looked at Madam Liu intensely as if to see any atom of lie on her face.


    Madam Liu out of guilt, looked away from Lady Chen''s gaze.


    Retracting her gaze, Lady Chen stood up and went to the Kitchen to meet Aunt Zin who was washing the dirty dishes.


    Lady Chen instructed her to make enough dishes for everybody including Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua would be coming over and also another bottle of Champagne.


    After giving the instructions, Lady Chen found a fashion magazine for Madam Liu to go through so that she won''t be bored sitting there by herself.


    Handing over the magazine, she said, "You can go through these why I help Lihua to pack one or two things. I know that child very well, If I wait for her to come back and pack it herself, am afraid she won''t go back with Longwei because, she will look for excuses to give, in other not to go with Longwei".


    "OK hurry up, I will wait for you. I will also make calls, to make arrangements in Liu Longwei''s Villa".


    "Ok". Giving a swift reply, Lady Chen quickly went up to Chen Lihua''s room to pack a few things up.


    She went into Chen Lihua''s walk in closet, she brought out a small travelling bag. She packed few outing dresses, and casual wears.


    When she went through all Chen Lihua''s night wears, she berated Chen Lihua in her mind, ''This girl don''t even have any night wear that is less conservative, everything am seeing here is making me angry, does this girl want be a number?''


    After going through the whole closet and not finding what she wanted, she got angry and went downstairs leaving the ordeal of packing half way.


    Getting downstairs, she saw a maid close by and instructed her to take the credit card from Aunt Zin to Buy a set of Non conservative night wears for Chen Lihua. (the credit card in Aunt Zin''s possession was used for household expenses).


    Lady Chen emphasized on the word non conservative very well and urged the maid to hurry up.


    She told the maid to go to the nearest clothing store and to go with the chauffeur to save time.


    After giving the instructions, Lady Chen went back to the living room to sit with Madam Liu.


    When Lady Chen entered the living room, Madam Liu saw her fuming with anger and asked worriedly, "Ju Ju, you just left a while ago, what matter provoked you?".


    Lady Chen sat beside, before replying, "Is it not that girl that want to kill me by angering with every opportunity she gets. When I was packing her clothes, I didn''t even see any appropriate night gown. All the night gowns in her closet are meant for nuns".


    Hearing the reason for her anger, Madam Liu laughed out loud (Lol).


    Lady Chen glared at her and the Latter stopped laughing.


    "Ju Ju calm down, do you want to see winkles on this your smooth young face?. Have you done something about it?".


    Thinking of what she has done, Lady Chen''s anger dissipated a little, "Of course, don''t you trust me, I have already settled the scores with her".


    "Since you have dealt with it, don''t be angry, it''s not good for your health".

 Chapter 25 - Unable to hide their happiness.

    Seeing that she had calmed down a little, Madam Liu continued, "And besides, Lihua is very attractive even though she is highly conservative, she has her own natural charm that can never be hidden by any type of clothing. So you should be proud that Lihua doesn''t expose her body to anyone".


    "Of course am proud of that but, I still have to teach her a little lesson", Lady Chen replied.


    If I may ask, what kind of lesson do you want to teach her?", Madam Liu inquired.


    Lady Chen smirked, "I instructed a maid to go to the nearest Clothing store to get few pieces of non conservative night dresses. Lihua will be so shocked once she sees those night wears with no other option".


    Madam Liu shakes her head against Lady Chen''s reply, "I shouldn''t have been in a hurry to agree with you without finding out how you settled the matter. You really don''t have to do that, you will only be embarrassing her that way. Think about it, if she were to wear that sort of clothes and Longwei sees her, he may be disgusted because, they are not too close and he will think that she (Chen Lihua) was seducing him. So you see, you don''t have to go to such extent".


    Finding Madam Liu''s words meaningful, Lady Chen agreed, "What you said makes sense. I will call the maid back".


    Madam Liu nodded her head in approval.


    Lady Chen quickly made a phone call to the chauffeur. Luckily, they just arrived at the mall, so they came back without purchasing any thing.


    "Then, I will go back and finish packing her stuff", Lady Chen said standing up before leaving Madam Liu behind.


    Back in Chen Lihua''s walk in closet, she (Lady Chen) packed 3 night wears and then going to the bathroom, she packed other daily necessities such as tooth brush and some bath products and then never forgetting to pack her (Chen Lihua) hair shampoo and a bath towel.


    After packing all the necessary stuffs, she left the bag on the bed before leaving the room.


    Initially, Lady Chen wanted to take the bag downstairs and leave it in one corner of the living room. But she changed her thoughts because Chen Lihua may spot the bag, and then their (Lady Chen and Madam Liu''s) plans may come to a bad end.


    Reaching the living room, she said to Madam Liu, "At last, am done packing. Once they (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) finish having their dinner, we will send them both away".


    "Of course", Madam Liu replied.


    Then both women smiled in agreement and high fived each other grinning from ear to ear unable to hide their happiness.


    Both women sat down comfortably and had small talks about their newly married children. While chipping in some words, their laughter were heard from time to time.


    Two hours later, Aunt Zin informed Lady chen that the dinner was ready. Few minutes after that, Bultler Li walked in hurriedly and announced to Lady Chen and Madam Liu that Liu Longwei''s car was driving in and was already close to the Villa.


    Bultler Li could make out that Liu Longwei was the person driving in because he had been informed earlier about his arrival by Lady Chen and also the security guard at the post has already confirmed his identity and car plate number because what was written on the car plate''s number was Liu.


    So, he immediately came to pass the information as soon as he heard about it.


    Hearing the information, Both Ladies jumped up from the sofa.


    Lady Chen quickly ordered Bultler Li to get the bottle of Champagne from Aunt Zin and hand it over to her.


    In less than a minute, Bultler Li returned with the bottle of Champagne. Handing it over to Lady Chen, they all went to the entrance.

 Chapter 26 - Two heads are better than one.

    They (Lady Chen, Madam Liu, Bultler Li, Aunt Zin and the servants who heard that their young miss and her husband were back) were just in time to see Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua come out from the car as they got to the entrance.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua both walked towards them.


    They servants greeted them politely and at the same time joyfully.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua both greeted Lady Chen and Madam Liu.


    Lady Chen interrupted the whole chattering. She raised the champagne above her then, she turned to look at the servants behind, Madam standing beside her and then to the newly married couple standing right in front of her while saying.


    "Let''s all welcome the Latest Couple in town". Lady Chen popped the Champagne and said, "Hip Hip Hip!" and everbody responded, "Hurray".


    Lady Chen handed the bottle of Champagne to Bultler Li and instructed him to distribute drinks to everbody and to make sure they (servants) all got enough food and drinks for the night.


    "Let''s all go in and eat and drink to our satisfaction". Lady Chen said and then gave a sign to Asst Duyi who was still beside the car the whole time to follow them in.


    The servants, including Asst Duyi thanked Lady Chen and happily went in after them (Lady Chen, Madam Liu, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei).


    When they all went in, Lady Chen instructed Aunt Zin to serve their food at the dining upstairs and to let the servants including, herself (Aunt Zin), Bultler Li, the chauffeurs and Asst Duyi use the big dining downstairs.


    Lady Chen also instructed Aunt Zin to Serve food and drinks to the bodyguards Outside the residence.


    They servants were happy and thanked Lady Chen profusely.


    They (servants) felt honoured deep down their heart for receiving that type of treatment.


    Lady Chen is always like this, she doesn''t discriminate. She always thinks about the well being of other people even if they were her own servants.


    At the dining table, Lady Chen, Madam Liu, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei ate while clinking their glasses and drinking from time to time.


    After they had their dinner, they went to the living room and sat down comfortably.


    Madam Liu immediately asked them how their date went.


    "Mum it went well and we talked as well. We talked about holding our wedding in the next 3 months". Liu Longwei answered.


    Lady Chen asked Liu Longwei while looking at Madam Liu, "don''t you think the wedding date is a little too rushed and their won''t be enough time to prepare for the wedding?".


    Madam Liu agreed, "Yes, can''t you to move it so that there will be enough time to plan things slow and accurate?".


    Liu Longwei shaked his head in disapproval and explained, "Three months time it''s not that long and I''ve heard that women like white weddinds a lot. Another important point is that I want the wedding to be held as soon as possible before we both become too busy with work".


    "Well, the reason is OK. It''s not like the wedding is for us", Lady Chen said pointing at herself and Madam Liu before continuing, "You two are adults now and know what''s right and beneficial for you. So, you don''t need to get worried or worked out, we (lady Chen and Madam Liu) will assist you two out".


    Madam Liu then chipped in some words, "You two can tell us whatever you want to be added to the wedding planning and we will try to make this wedding turn out well. After all, ''two heads are better than none''".

 Chapter 27 - Divorce Lihua tomorrow.

    "Mom there''s no problem, you don''t have to worry". Chen Lihua said.


    Lady Chen smiled, "OK, that''s all for now".


    Although the wedding is being rushed, but both women are satisfied. They kept thinking that Liu Longwei really loved and wanted the best for Chen Lihua.


    Liu Longwei stared at both women and found them strange because their cheeks were a tinge of red.


    He wondered why their cheeks were like that, because the four of them shared a bottle of champagne and it was not enough to cause it, unless they have been drinking before they (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) came to the Villa.


    So he asked his mother, "Mom, have you and Lady Chen been drinking before we came?".


    Hearing his question, Chen Lihua looked at both women closely, one who was her mother and the other who just became her mother in-law. She saw their faces and knew that something was wrong somewhere, So she became interested and wanted to what happened.


    Madam Liu coughed, she looked at lady Chen who smiled awkwardly before replying Liu Longwei, "Yeah, just a little. We drank a glass of champagne each to celebrate you and Lihua''s union. Is it bad?".


    "There is nothing wrong with it. The problem now is the little you are talking about because, a glass of champagne is not enough to make your Cheeks rosy. So tell me, how much did you drink?". Liu Longwei asked obviously not believing his mother.


    "Fine you win, we just drank a bottle of champagne", Madam Liu said annoyed with her son.


    Chen Lihua looked at Madam Liu and then her mother, she was shocked, so a word of admiration escaped from her lips, "Wow!".


    The three humans in the same space as she glanced at her before Liu Longwei said, "Mom, I trust Lady Chen but not you".


    Madam Liu really wanted to know the reason why her son would say that, so she asked, "What did I do now?"


    Liu Longwei looked at his mother and said each word that came out from his thin lips slowly, "Lady Chen runs a big company and so she can''t get drunk easily while you''re just a normal socialite who is not used to drinking, you see, you''re at a disadvantage here so, don''t drink too much next time".


    Listening to Liu Longwei, Madam Liu put on a hurt expression, while Lady Chen held her hands asking, "Oh my! that sure hurts right?". The latter nodded her head. "Sorry", Lady Chen consoled patting her back.


    This is the first time Chen Lihua saw her mother behave like this, ''What''s wrong with these women?''


    Liu Longwei was oblivious to Chen Lihua''s thoughts, so he said to his mother, "Mom, I haven''t heard your reply, am still waiting".


    Madam Liu looked at her son then looked at Lady Chen seemingly aggrieved, "Ju Ju, have you seen how my son bullies me, for him to bully me even in your presence without fear, you should now know that he will also bully Lihua so, let''s seperate them before it''s too late".


    After talking, Madam Liu pinched Lady Chen so that the latter would join in her drama. And so, Lady Chen understood.


    Liu Longwei wanted to zip his mother''s mouth, because that mouth of her''s wanted to put him in trouble, ''What''s wrong with this woman, she found me a gem (Chen Lihua) and now she wants to take it back, no way!''


    "Mom, what are you talking about?"


    Madam Liu eyed him and patted Lady Chen''s hands so that she would say something.


    Lady Chen got the hint and so played along, "I''ve thought about it, I don''t want my only child to be bullied, I want her to be loved. So, I think you two (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) should sign the divorce papers tomorrow. Longwei cancel your business trip and divorce Lihua tomorrow.

 Chapter 28 - A bad premonition.

    Liu Longwei''s face turned gloomy immediately as if his heart was about to be ripped out from his body.


    Seeing Liu Longwei''s facial expression, Madam Liu now understood that her son was starting to have an affection for Chen Lihua so she made a mental note of it as she has found a way to bully him in the future.


    So, Madam Liu winked at Lady Chen as if to say, ''Mission successful'' and Lady Chen winked back in understanding.


    When Chen Lihua saw Liu Longwei''s gloomy face, she knew that he was angry and being bullied by both women, so she jumped in to save the situation.


    So she stood up from the sofa and walked to were Lady Chen was sitted, "Mom, I think you are drunk and it''s late already, and mother in-law is tired too, so come let me escort you to your room".


    Chen Lihua''s attempt to save the situation was well acknowledged by Liu Longwei and so, his facial expression returned to normal.


    Chen Lihua addressed Madam Liu as her mother in-law, which meant she was not in support of the divorce.


    But what Chen Lihua didn''t know was that her saving the situation will automatically lead to her being the next subject of another round of bullying.


    Seeing that her daughter was trying to save the situation, Lady Chen said in her mind, ''Good, since this girl wants me to sleep so badly, I will definitely fufill her wish''.


    "Bilu since Lihua doesn''t want a divorce and wants me to go to sleep, it shows that she care for all of us so, let''s just fufill her wish".


    Hearing Lady Chen speak like this, Liu Longwei felt that there was an underlying meaning behind her words, but he couldn''t figure out what exactly it was, but what he knew was that Chen Lihua would be at a loss.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even sense anything wrong with the way her mother spoke, she was glad that her mother had dropped the case.


    Liu Longwei saw that Chen Lihua was satisfied and felt that Chen Lihua was really dumb in a way. She can''t even sense danger even when it was directed towards her. ''It seems like I have a lot to teach this woman''.


    Apart from Lady Chen, it was only Madam Liu that knew what Lady Chen was talking about. ''Lihua sorry, I can''t save you but this is really beneficial for all of us''.


    Lady Chen stood up and patted her clothes with her hands, "You all should wait downstairs for me I will meet you there in a moment. Lihua escort your husband and mother in-law downstairs, I''ll be back soon".


    Lady Chen fled immediately before Chen Lihua could question her.


    Chen Lihua was dumbfounded, ''Why is this woman so much in a hurry?''


    Nevertheless, She (Chen Lihua) went downstairs with Madam Liu and Liu Longwei and waited together with them in the living room.


    Lady Chen went to Chen Lihua''s room and them into her closet. She picked up two flat sandals and a black Chanel bad and stuffed them into the already packed Luggage in Chen Lihua''s room and then stuffed some skin products and a bathrobe as well.


    Satisfied with the outcome, she pulled the luggage along with her as she left the room after making sure she didn''t forget to put any other relevant stuff.


    Having waited for five minutes without seeing her mother, Chen became restless and said to Madam Liu, "Mother, I will go and see what''s keeping Lady Chen".


    Madam Liu stopped her immediately, "Don''t worry about your mother, she will be fine. Maybe she has something important to do. So, just keep us company".


    Chen Lihua agreed and so, she relaxed.


    Liu Longwei was not a fool, with the way his mother stopped Chen Lihua from going up to check on Lady Chen he had a premonition that his mother was involved with whatever schemes Lady Chen was planning.

 Chapter 29 - Mom, what are you talking about?.

    But he chose to keep quiet and watch the drama unfold on its own without disrupting it. After all, he was not the one being schemed against.


    Just then, Lady Chen came down with a Medium travelling luggage, and all eyes were on her.


    She passed them (the maids, Madam Liu, Liu Longwei and her daughter Chen Lihua) and went to where Asst Duyi was sitting.


    Seeing Lady Chen walking towards him, he felt that she had a message for him, so he stood up.


    Lady Chen stepped in front of Asst Duyi and told him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Take this luggage and walk as fast as you can to the Liu Longwei''s car. Once you put it in the car, don''t bother coming back, get inside the drivers seat and wait there.


    So, Asst Duyi took the luggage from her and walked aqua as quickly as possible, as if ghosts were chasing him.


    When Lady Chen passed Madam Liu, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua, with the traveling luggage, Chen Lihua felt that the bag was familiar, ''This bag is familiar. Wait, is that not my bag?''.


    Chen Lihua had a bad premonition, so she quickly asked her mother, "Lady Chen, the bag in your hands right now looks like mine, is it not my bag?".


    And that was when Lady Chen instructed Asst Duyi to walk away as fast as he could.


    Seeing that Asst Duyi had started walking away, she stood up immediately, "Asst Duyi wait a minute, let me check if that bag is mine".


    But how could Asst Duyi stop when he had already received instructions from Lady Chen, instead he increased his pace.


    Chen Lihua wanted to chase after him but Lady Chen stopped her by obstructing her way with her body and hands.


    Chen Lihua still wanted to evade her, so she turned to another route trying to pass Lady Chen, but it was too late as Lady Chen already knew what she wanted to do, so she held her wrist and dragged her back.


    And this was when Liu Longwei understood Lady Chen''s intention.


    "Mom, where is Asst Duyi taking my bag too?", Chen Lihua questioned.


    On seeing that Asst Duyi wasn''t out of sight, Lady Chen let go of Chen Lihua''s wrist and sighed in relief, "He is going to take you and your Luggage to a safe place".


    Chen Lihua''s eyeballs nearly popped out from her eye socket out of shock. She already removed her glasses when she came into the villa. So, her glasses was hanging on her head since.


    "Mom, what are you talking about?".


    "What am saying is that you will stay at Liu Longwei''s house till Sunday, then you can come back if you want otherwise, you can stay ther since its where you now belong".


    Chen Lihua didn''t know what to say again. It seemed like Lady Chen was throwing her out of the house.


    Even Liu Longwei wanted to say something patterning to what Lady Chen said, but Madam Liu didn''t even allow him to form the words that was already on his lips.


    "Longwei, I know you don''t want Lihua to feel lonely, so, Ju Ju and I decided to let her accompany you till you travel, then she can visit me and also come back here if she wants".


    Lady Chen explained more, "yes, we decided on that. It''s not good to seperate a newly married couple especially on the day of their marriage, so you two should spend the night together".


    Seeing that her daughter had something to say, she continued, "and that is final".


    Chen Lihua looked sad and as if she would cry the next minute.


    Even Liu Longwei pitied on how Chen Lihua looked like an abandoned kitten.


    But Lady chen would never fall for that kind of trick especially when she has already made up her mind.


    So Lady Chen ignored Chen Lihua and said Madam Liu, "Bilu it''s late already, you need to get home and rest early".


    So, Madam Liu and Liu Longwei stood up, while Chen Lihua remained standing where she was without making an attempt to move an inch.

 Chapter 30 - Silly Child, what is the matter?

    Lady Chen saw how reluctant her daughter was and said, "Lihua you said earlier that you wanted me go to sleep and also how tired your mother in-law was, now, are trying to go back on your words when am already fufilling your wish?"


    Chen Lihua remained silent as she was too angry to talk.


    Lady Chen asked her again seeing that she refused to answer the earlier question, "Don''t you care about your Mama anymore?".


    Chen Lihua thought she just heard the dumbest joke in the world.


    "Yes, I don''t care about you anymore".


    Lady Chen gave a smile that was not really a smile, "Oh!, since you don''t care about me anymore, I don''t see a reason for you to live here, so after you leave now, don''t come back here again".


    Liu Longwei thought that things were getting out of hands so he intervened.


    Liu Longwei walked to were Lady Chen and Chen Lihua were standing, he held one of Chen Lihua''s hands and said, "Lady Chen don''t get angry, Lihua was only joking, how can she not care about you again?, In this world, it''s one of the most impossible thing to happen".


    Then he said to Chen Lihua, "Lihua let''s go, you can come back here at any time you want".


    Liu Longwei''s words meant that Chen Lihua could come back to the Chen Villa at anytime she wanted.


    And this showed that he was doting on Chen Lihua without him knowing, but the two women (Lady Chen and Madam Liu) knew and understood.


    So, Liu Longwei settled the case with this. He turned to his mother and said, "Mom let''s go home".


    "Ju Ju, we would be on our way now".


    And so, Lady Chen walked them out to the entrance.


    At the entrance, Madam Liu hugged Lady Chen and said a goodbye to her before climbing into the car and sitting on the chair in the third row, leaving the the second passenger chair for Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua.


    Next, Liu Longwei told Chen Lihua to go in but, she looked at her mother, inside the car, Liu Longwei and then back to her mother before running back to hug her mother and in that process, the medicated glasses on her nearly fell off so Lady Chen caught the glasses and hugged Chen Lihua.


    Lady Chen sighed, "Silly child, what is the matter?"


    In her mother''s embrace, Chen Lihua cried, "Mother, I don''t want to go anywhere, I want to stay with you".


    Lady Chen patted her back, "Hua''er don''t cry, you are a married woman now, so you should be with your husband and not with me".


    Chen Lihua didn''t want to listen to her mother, so she continued crying.


    Lady Chen said, "Lihua you are embarrassing yourself, see how the servants are looking at you, and am sure they must be laughing at you in their mind".


    Chen Lihua sniffed and answered, "mmm, let them laugh at me, I don''t care. After all, am not crying with their eyes".


    Liu Longwei that was worried earlier laughed softly, ''What a woman, it seems like she''s OK''.


    Even Madam Liu that just got down from the car couldn''t hide her laughter.


    In the driver''s seat, Asst Duyi forced his laughter back, he felt that Chen Lihua was unbelievable.


    Lady Chen laughed as well and released Chen Lihua from her embrace. She wiped Chen Lihua''s eyes with her hands and commented, "Funny girl".


    Chen Lihua left her mother''s embrace but still held her on her arm.


    Lady Chen said to her, "You know you are my baby, so don''t cry anymore OK?".


    Chen Lihua nodded her head in agreement but still didn''t release Lady Chen from her hold.


    Lady Chen didn''t know whether to cry or laugh, so she said, "Hua''er hurry up go it''s late already, don''t keep your husband and mother in-law waiting".

 Chapter 31 - Emotional.

    Lady Chen then gave a sign to Madam Liu and Liu Longwei to take Chen Lihua away.


    Madam Liu stepped forward, "Lihua don''t cry anymore, it''s not like you won''t see your mother again. You are always free to visit your mother any time you want and Longwei will also accompany you if he is around, so you have no nothing to worry about".


    Chen Lihua turned to look at Madam Liu and then her mother. She sniffed one more time before looking at her mother in-law again, then she nodded her head.


    Liu Longwei then walked over to them, he took one of Chen Lihua''s hand in his and then dragged her gently away from Lady Chen.


    "Lihua come let''s go, it''s late already and mother and Lady Chen need to rest as well, don''t delay anymore".


    Chen Lihua didn''t struggle or cry anymore. She gently let go of her mother''s arm.


    She was not a child anymore that she could continue throwing a tantrum and besides, it wouldn''t leave a good impression on her mother in-law and husband, so she didn''t make the situation more difficult.


    "Mom take care of yourself. See you soon". Chen Lihua waved at Lady Chen.


    "Take care of yourself as well. Call me once you Longwei get home". Lady Chen said and then said to Madam Liu, "Bilu call me as well once you get home".


    "No problem Ju Ju, goodnight". Madam Liu replied, she then hugged Lady Chen and waved a goodbye to her before getting into the car.


    Lady Chen waved back as well before urging Chen Lihua to get into the car.


    Chen Lihua hugged her mother again and Lady Chen pecked her left cheek before pushing her to Liu Longwei.


    Once Chen Lihua got into the car, Lady Chen said to Liu Longwei softly, "Longwei, take good care of her. Although, she make look strong on the outside, but she''s very soft on the inside. She''s a very emotional person, so try not to hurt her. Lihua also easily gets cold".


    Liu Longwei nodded in understanding, "You don''t have to worry Lady Chen, Lihua is now my wife so I will take good care of her".


    Lady Chen gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder saying, "Then I can rest assured. Take care of yourself as well and have a safe trip tomorrow".


    "No problem Lady Chen, take care of your health and goodnight". Liu Longwei replied.


    Lady Chen gave him another pat on the shoulder before withdrawing to the side.


    Liu Longwei got into the car and closed the car after him and then Asst Duyi drove off.


    Lady Chen watched the car till it left her sight before flicking off the the drop of tear at the corner of her eyes that was threatening to fall.


    Lady Chen is an emotional person as well although she has learnt to keep her emotions in check but Chen Lihua was her only Child and she just entrusted her to another person.


    And besides, Chen Lihua left her side when she was just 16 years and came back after 7 years when she is 22 years old. They have only spent 3 months together before all these things happened.


    So, she would be lying if she said that she didn''t regret her decision to get her daughter married so soon at a little corner of her heart.


    But since she trust her friend ''Madam Liu'', she knows that even if Liu Longwei doesn''t treat her well enough, Madam Liu will not allow it and also Chen Lihua was not an easy person, she hated being mistreated the most so, if she should feel uncomfortable or mistreated, she would immediately file for a divorce.

 Chapter 32 - I didnt know I married a cry baby.

    This is because Chen Lihua advised her own mother to get a divorce from her father when she found out that her mother was sometimes being abused physically by her father.


    So why would someone who advised her mother to get a divorce because of being mistreated suffer the same and remain in the marriage?, it was totally impossible unless she was bewitched.


    Bultler Li came close to Lady Chen, "Lady, the weather is not conducive for your health please go in".


    Lady Chen collected her thoughts. She heaved a sigh and walked back into the house with Bultler Li following behind her.


    Instead of going to her bedroom as she didn''t want to fall asleep soon. Lady Chen went to her study to stay. She went through some documents, to keep her self busy and awake till she got Chen Lihua and Madam Liu''s call.


    In the Lincoln SUV, Chen Lihua was looking as elegant as usual. She didn''t look like someone that just finished crying.


    Liu Longwei observed the woman with a calm demeanor at his side critically. He almost removed a hat for her.


    He was amazed at how Chen Lihua could easily compose herself as if nothing happened earlier.


    He couldn''t help but tease her, "I didn''t know I married a cry baby, Lihua you have indeed broadened my horizons today".


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, "get used to it".


    "What should I get used to, the crying or the broadening of my horizons?", Liu Longwei questioned.


    Chen Lihua looked at him angrily and snobbed him.


    Madam Liu who was behind and paying attention to them suddenly hit the back of Liu Longwei''s head.


    Liu Longwei held the back of his head that was just beaten by his mother before exclaiming, "Mom!".


    Madam Liu eyed him ignoring him, she smiled and said Chen Lihua, "Lihua don''t take him seriously, he is just joking and I don''t even know when he learnt how to joke".


    Chen Lihua gave a smile before nodding.


    After ensuring that Chen Lihua wasn''t angry anymore, Madam Liu relaxed back on her chair.


    Liu Longwei removed his hand from his hand from his head before saying to Asst Duyi, "Send my mother back first".


    Just then, Madam Liu cut him off, saying to Asst Duyi, "Don''t bother, send them back first".


    Liu Longwei turned his head to the back, looking at his mother, he said, "Mom I want to see you get home first, then I can be at peace".


    "I don''t need your concern, I just want to take my car back with me. I will send the Chauffeur to deliver your car tomorrow morning, well it''s not like it''s the only car you have".


    The Lincoln SUV was formerly Liu Longwei''s, but the first day Madam Liu entered the car, she liked the car, and thus snatched the car away from Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei''s lips twitched, ''Are you afraid I will take the car back, Who wants to take the car from you?''


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything again, he just put his face forward.


    Asst Duyi got the main point admist the bickering between mother and son and so he drove to Liu Longwei''s Villa which was a 15 minutes drive from The Liu family''s Villa.


    When Chen Lihua heard Madam Liu say the car was Her''s, she was surprised because when she complimented Liu Longwei earlier about the car, Liu Longwei just accepted the compliments happily without saying anything.


    And how could she let him get away with it?. And with that, she confronted him.


    "I thought the car was yours, why didn''t you say it wasn''t yours when I complimented you on the car?"

 Chapter 33 - The Liu familys security system.

    Liu Longwei shrugged, "I didn''t think it was necessary. I thought since you already complimented, why giving excuses instead of accepting it, so, I accepted it".


    Chen Lihua thought she just heard the biggest joke in the world, so she said in English, "Like seriously, are you for real now?".


    Liu Longwei made a sign with his hands as if saying calm down, "Heh! don''t get angry so soon, am not done explaining. The car actually belonged to me before My mother snatched it from me".


    Chen Lihua was surprised, ''did I just here snatch?''.


    Madam Liu didn''t even allow Chen Lihua to say anything before cutting Liu Longwei off, "Longwei I dare you to say that I snatched your car from you again?".


    Liu Longwei looked helpless, having women around him was torturous. He was trying to please Chen Lihua by explaining and then angered his mother in the process.


    ''What a world!''.


    Liu Longwei had no choice than to rephrase his words, "As I was saying, This was my car before my mother took it from me because she liked it".


    "Oh!", Chen Lihua replied simply while Madam Liu who was anticipating Liu Longwei''s next words, relaxed.


    Asst Duyi really pitied his boss. It was as if he was a football in the midst of two players leaving his fate to be determined by them.


    Asst Duyi sighed softly and focused on his driving while leaving his two ears to scoop more gossips behind.


    So, Asst Duyi concentrated on the driving while waiting to hear more matters arriving from behind, Madam Liu fiddled with her phone, Liu Longwei looked at his wrist watch while checking the time and then looking ahead through the windscreen.


    And here comes our female lead, Chen Lihua looking at the night view through the car window.


    While looking out through the car window, Chen Lihua noticed an object with a faint light around it flying high up in the sky.


    She would have kept calm and continued watching it silently but something happened.


    She noticed that the object was flying in the same direction as the Lincoln SUV they were all in.


    Whenever the Lincoln SUV made a turn, the object would also follow immediately and make a turn.


    On closer observation, Chen Lihua discovered that the object was a drone.


    She was more surprised when she found out what the object was, and so she wondered why a drone has been following them all these time.


    So, she turned to Liu Longwei and asked, "Longwei look", Chen Lihua said pointing through the car window and towards the direction of the drone.


    "This drone has been following us and I just noticed that few minutes ago. Do you think some people are monitoring you?"


    Liu Longwei looked towards the direction Chen Lihua was pointing at and saw the drone.


    Then as he heard Chen Lihua''s words, he let out a light chuckle so as not to embarrass.


    "Nobody is monitoring us. It''s one of Liu family''s security system".


    Seeing how surprised Chen Lihua was, Liu Longwei explained more.


    "Since it''s so late, the bodyguards can easily loose track of us and there maybe any danger at that time. So, they will follow us and also use the drone to monitor the US and the cars around us in case of any casualties".


    Chen Lihua was even more surprised when she understood what he said. She was truly amazed.


    And she also understood something, ''Money and power could make things happen''.


    "If you really need so much survey and bodyguards protecting you, then I think you''ve made quite some enemies out there".


    Liu Longwei chuckled, "I don''t make enemies, and at the same time can''t help having enemies. If anyone should be at the top of the food chain, he would definitely attract predators, just like the way honey attract bees. This simply means the higher you go, the more your enemies are plotting your downfall so you could be at any danger and at any time. You may not even be prepared when the danger comes, so you have to be cautious and attentive and also take every preventive measures".

 Chapter 34 - Chen Lihua recounts the time she was sick in the US.

    Chen Lihua nodded her head in understanding, "Mmm!, I get you. It''s just that I don''t understand why some people could be so jobless at times, to the extent of them plotting against other people instead of them to work hard to improve in the places they are lacking".


    "That''s how the world is. You just need to work hard and at the same time, look out for yourself". Liu adviced.


    Chen Lihua smiled and replied, "OK. I really like your advice and it made a whole lot of sense. I could really learn a lot from you".


    Liu Longwei smiled as well, "You don''t have to worry, we are already married so, we would be together most of the time and you can learn from observing".


    Chen Lihua didn''t say anything this time around, but her face said it all that she understood him.


    Madam Liu didn''t even pay attention to them, she was busy texting her husband who was not in the country so, she didn''t even hear their talks all along.


    Chen Lihua continued looking at the night life with a little smile in her face.


    Liu Longwei observed her and wondered what made her smile.


    "Do you like the night view that much?"


    Chen Lihua replied without looking at him, "I like looking at the city at night. To me, it looks more beautiful than in the day time".


    "Yeah, it sure does look beautiful. If I may ask, why do you like the night view?", Liu Longwei inquired.


    This time around, Chen Lihua turned to look at him, "Maybe it''s because I see better in the dark, so I tend to appreciate it more".


    "Hmm, that sounds interesting".


    Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua for a while, he looked at Chen Lihua''s off shoulder gown then he remembered Lady Chen telling him that Chen Lihua easily caught a cold, so he asked concernedly, "Don''t you feel cold?"


    Chen Lihua was taken aback by the question but nevertheless, she answered him, "Am a little cold, but it''s not a problem because I can manage till we get to our destination".


    The reason Chen Lihua was feeling cold at the moment despite the fact that it was summer was because, the AC in the car was in full blast.


    "It''s not good to manage in terms of your health, after all, you are a doctor so you should know more about this than me".


    Then, Liu Longwei told Asst Duyi to reduce the AC to the medium level before taking off his suit jacket, then he handed over to her, "Here, take it and there''s no sweat on it".


    The reason Liu Longwei gave his suit jacket to Chen Lihua was because even though the AC was now at medium level, she would still feel a little cold and he didn''t want to reduce the AC to the lowest as it would inconvenience other people in the car including him.


    Chen Lihua saw they suit jacket in Liu Longwei''s outstretched arms, she wanted to reject him, but hearing him say that there''s was no sweat on it and she indeed felt a little cold, she accepted it.


    "Thank you. My body has always been like this since I was little, I easily feel cold, the same goes with Lady Chen, we are similar in that aspect".


    "If you easily feel cold, how then did you survive in the US because I know the weather there isn''t funny at all and it''s more hash than here".


    Chen Lihua put on the suit jacket before replying with a faint smile, "I really suffered there especially during my first year because of the weather. I was admitted to the hospital five times that year because of a high fever".


    Liu Longwei pitied her so he asked, "Didn''t you have anyone to take care of you over there?".


    "My mom''s sister is based there with her family, so she was the one that took care of me. Lady Chen also visited me one of the times my brains were nearly fried due to the fever".


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh before continuing, "But I thank God that I survived it, and it also made me know how to take care of myself better".

 Chapter 35 - Chen Lihuas backup plan.

    Immediately Chen Lihua finished speaking, she looked at the drone again and said pointing at it, "This is the reason I want to remain low key. I don''t want people chasing after me".


    Liu Longwei looked at the drone along with her before replying, "Even if you remain low key, there will still be some people after you because of jealousy so, you don''t need to be famous for you to have enemies. As long as you are doing well, there''s still bound to be some people who can''t watch you be at peace. That''s how this world is".


    Chen Lihua thought for a while and found that Liu Longwei''s words made a lot of sense so, she accepted what he said and heaved a sigh.


    "I really don''t know what to say because what you said is quite correct. I just hope that I''ll be able to defeat those who don''t want me to be at peace. I hate having a chaotic life, so I wouldn''t let them have peace if they won''t let me have mine as well".


    "That''s right, but you also have to be careful when dealing with those kind of people. If you need help any time, let me know. After all, you are my wife and I should protect you as well".


    Liu Longwei said the last part obviously concerned about Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua didn''t argue with him this time around instead, she agreed with him.


    "No problem, if I encounter a problem I can''t solve, I will definitely ask for your help. Am not that kind of person that will suffer when I have people to help me".


    Liu Longwei laughed heartily obviously happy that Chen Lihua agreed to rely on him without refuting him.


    Seeing him laugh happily, Chen Lihua asked, "Why are you laughing like that?".


    Hearing her question, Liu Longwei stopped laughing, then he smiled and replied, "Am happy that you agreed with me this time around".


    Chen Lihua said as a matter of fact, "Did you think I wouldn''t agree to your help?. Am not one of those dumb women that will suffer and handle things alone when they have a backup plan".


    Liu Longwei laughed again and asked, "Are you indirectly saying that am your backup plan?"


    Chen Lihua replied immediately, "Of course, or are you not?".


    Liu Longwei without all smiles replied, "Of course I am your backup plan".


    "Then good". Chen Lihua gave a reply and hugged Liu Longwei''s suit jacket to her body.


    This time around, Madam Liu heard their conversation but didn''t interrupt them. Instead, she happily sent Lady Chen an SMS.


    From there, the Lady Chen abandoned what she was doing and started chatting with Madam Liu.


    Madam Liu supplied her with all the gist, while she enjoyed them, and conversed happily her and from time to time probing for more of what Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua talked about.


    Five minutes later, They arrived at Liu Longwei''s Villa which was located at Hibiscus valley.


    The district was called hibiscus valley because hibiscus flower was grown all over the district.


    And the houses their were Owned by the Liu family.


    The Liu family was into real Estate so, they owned a lot of villas, condominium, buildings and lands all over the country and also outside the country.


    They also owned a school and a hospital.


    The Lincoln SUV drove into a simple villa and came to a stop.


    Chen Lihua admired the villa for it''s simplicity and so, she didn''t know when Liu Longwei got down from the car and opened her side of the car door for her.


    She jolted back to her senses when the warm air outside hit her face.


    Chen Lihua got down from the car and thanked Liu Longwei, "Thank you".


    Liu Longwei replied, "You are welcome".


    Madam Liu got down as well.

 Chapter 36 - Liu Longwei tells a lie.

    Standing beside Chen Lihua, she held the latter''s hands saying, "Lihua this is Liu Longwei''s house and it''s also yours from today onwards. Take care of yourself".


    After speaking, she hugged Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei as well.


    She told Liu Longwei to take care of Chen Lihua before his trip tomorrow.


    "Take care of yourself and Lihua tonight and have a safe trip tomorrow".


    Liu Longwei patted Madam Liu''s back during the short hug before replying, "OK mother. Call me once you get home".


    Madam Liu gave Chen Lihua one last hug before going back inside the car.


    Seeing that they had finished chatting, Asst Duyi got down from the car. He opened the booth and brought Chen Lihua''s luggage out.


    Liu Longwei immediately took the travelling bag from him.


    Liu Longwei told Asst Duyi to come by 8am tomorrow morning for their 9am flight to Paris.


    He also told him to take his car that was in the Liu Villa back to his house as his ride for tonight and to return with the car the next morning.


    After speaking with Asst Duyi, he took a few steps away from the car and stood beside Chen Lihua.


    Asst Duyi got into the car and drove off.


    The two (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) watched the car drive away till it left their sight.


    Just then, Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua, "Let''s go in".


    They guards patrolling outside, greeted them amicably.


    One of the guards approached them, "Sir let me help you with the bag".


    Liu Longwei refused, "I will do it myself".


    And with that, Liu Longwei took Chen Lihua inside and made her seat in the living room.


    There was no spare slippers for Chen Lihua to wear so, Liu Longwei let her go in like that.


    Liu Longwei also didn''t bother changing his shoes so, both husband and wife went into the living room with their shoes stuck to their feet.


    Liu Longwei left Chen Lihua''s traveling bag beside her and went to the kitchen to get a glass of fruit juice for her.


    When Liu Longwei left, Chen Lihua familiarized herself with what she was seeing by looking around.


    In no time, Liu Longwei returned with a glass of fruit juice and handed it to Chen Lihua.


    "Thank you". And with that, Chen Lihua took the juice from him.


    Chen Lihua drank half of the juice before handing it back to Liu Longwei, "Am OK, I can''t drink anymore".


    Hearing her explanation, Liu Longwei took the glass cup from her.


    He held the glass cup to his lips, he placed his lips on another side of the glass different from the side Chen Lihua drank from, and with that, he finished the juice.


    Chen Lihua watched him drink the remaining juice up.


    Liu Longwei brought the empty glass away from from his lips and caught Chen Lihua looking at him.


    So he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?".


    Chen Lihua said, "Nothing".


    Liu Longwei didn''t believe Chen Lihua''s reply. He knew she was surprised that she drank the remaining juice, so he explained, "Although am wealthy, but I don''t like wasting resources. So I had to finish up your drink because you''re my wife and there''s nothing wrong with that".


    Chen Lihua nodded her head to show that she understood what he was saying.


    Chen Lihua was actually really surprised that Liu Longwei drank from the same cup as she did.


    She would have been more shocked if Liu Longwei had drank from the same side of the glass as she did but luckily for her heart, he didn''t.


    Chen Lihua thought that if she was to be in his shoes, she would have poured the remaining Juice into the sink without batting an eye because to her, they (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) were not close.

 Chapter 37 - Liu Longweis black and white obsession.

    But since Liu Longwei didn''t mind, why would she be the one to make a fuss about it.


    What Chen Lihua didn''t know was that Liu Longwei lied about wasting resources.


    Liu Longwei was someone who didn''t know how to fully manage things apart from matters pertaining to his business.


    Things like food is definitely out of it. Even if his clothe was torn, he wouldn''t amend them, instead he would throw them away and get a new one to replace the useless ones.


    But Chen Lihua was directly opposite of hi I''m in that aspect. She knows how to manage things.


    Liu Longwei took the empty glass cup to the kitchen. He watched it, used a clean clothe to dry it and then kept it away.


    He used a clean hand towel to dry his hands before walking out the kitchen.


    When he entered the living room, Chen Lihua asked him, "I don''t seem to see any maid, Butler or steward around, How do take care of your meals and house chores?".


    Liu Longwei sat on a single sofa before replying, "I don''t have a butler, but I have servants. You don''t see them around because I gave them two weeks break since I was going for a month trip".


    "When did they leave for the two weeks break? ". Chen Lihua questioned.


    Liu Longwei gave a reply, "Today". Liu Longwei sighed before explaining further.


    "I don''t have personal servants, they are all servants from the Liu Villa. I think mother must have made arrangements for them to return tomorrow morning because of you, so you don''t have to worry about the house".


    "OK then". Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei stood up saying to her, "Let''s go upstairs now, it''s quite late".


    And with that, he pulled Chen Lihua''s traveling luggage behind him.


    Chen Lihua stood up as well and followed behind him.


    Having arrived upstairs, Liu Longwei pushed open a door and went inside, then he switched in the lights. Chen Lihua entered the room as well.


    When Chen Lihua entered the room, her mouth was agape because what she just saw almost blinded her eyes.


    The room was only decorated in two colors, black and white.


    The room had a white painting, a white bed bed sheets spread on a bed with pure black design.


    The rest of the things in the room was either in a black or white color through out, or mixed.


    Chen Lihua was really surprised because she couldn''t even find anything that was out of place after having scanned the entire room with her eyes.


    She began to suspect if something was wrong with Liu Longwei or if he was obsessed with the two colors, black and white.


    Chen Lihua herself liked black colored gowns and she had a few of them but she wasn''t posessed with obsession to the extent of turning the the things in his house to black and white.


    Even his living room was decorated with the same colors. White painting with black sofas.


    At first, when Chen Lihua entered the living room, she liked the color settings and combinations but now venturing into the bedroom and saw the same color settings as at that if the living room, she didn''t know what to say.


    She hasn''t seen someone with the black and white colour obsession before, Liu Longwei was the first.


    Chen Lihua shut the door behind her and asked, "The room is beautiful, why is it decorated in only black and white colors?".


    Liu Longwei left the luggage in one corner of the room and answered Chen Lihua, "As you said it''s beautiful. Actually, black and white are my favorite colors and almost everything I have are in those two colors. So, you don''t need to be surprised about it since I''ve tipped you about it so you won''t be shocked when you see more things in those colors".

 Chapter 38 - My room, now yours.

    To Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei was a rare gem in this aspect.


    The villa has a white exterior paint, good. The living room had a white and black decorations, beautiful. Now a bedroom has the same thing, wonderful.


    Only God knows the next surprise she would get from his black and white color obsession.


    So, Chen Lihua didn''t bother him again about the colors, she just directly asked another important question.


    "Is this the guest room, I''ll be staying for now? ".


    Liu Longwei was surprised at her question.


    ''Does this room look like a guest room to her, comon, this is my room.


    Liu Longwei looked around the room and found out why Chen Lihua thought it was a guest room.


    Looking at the room, you wouldn''t even see a speck of dirt or any sign of properties to show that someone was already staying in the room.


    So Liu Longwei didn''t blame her, instead he explained, "Lihua, this is the the master''s bedroom, my room and now your room. So, you''ll be staying here".


    Chen Lihua thought she just heard the biggest joke of the world.


    ''Is this guy insane?''.


    She was indeed taken by surprise by his declaration, so she just wanted to clarify things with him by asking.


    "Mr Liu, I believe that we are not that close to share a bedroom, talk more of sharing a bed. And looking at the room, I can''t even find a sofa that can be an alternative to sharing the bed with you. So you need to think of something else".


    At this juncture, I really pity Liu Longwei because he married a lady with a mouth that could condemn a person to death.


    Liu Longwei was really helpless, "Lihua, I know we are not that close to share a bedroom, but there is a title we share that is appropriate for us to do so, and that is the title of a couple, ''husband and wife''. Don''t worry, I won''t touch you if that''s what you are worried about".


    I don''t think that in the entire life of Liu Longwei, if he had ever explained or talked to somebody for this long at a go except for an exception, his lovely trouble giving wife, ''Chen Lihua''.


    Chen Lihua said obviously not making an attempt to reason with him, "The bed sharing matter is settled, but what about changing my clothes because I don''t like changing in the bathroom?".


    Liu Longwei answered her immediately, "You can change in the walk-in closet".


    Chen Lihua still wanted to argue with him, but Liu Longwei beat her to that as if understanding what she wanted to say.


    "Once you finish having your bath, you can put on a bathrobe before going into the walk in closet to change into your night wear".


    This time around, Chen Lihua didn''t have anything to refute him with, so she kept quite.


    Seeing that he had settled the matter, Liu Longwei said, "follow me to the walk in closet so you could unpack your things and shower".


    As he finished speaking, he dragged Chen Lihua''s traveling bag behind him as he made his way to the walk in closet.


    Chen Lihua just followed behind as usual.


    Liu Longwei opened the door to his walk-in closet, walking in, he left the luggage to the side and told Chen Lihua to unpack her things.


    When Chen Lihua entered the walk-in closet, her eyes scanned the interior, Lo and behold, it had the same interior decoration as the room.


    To make matters worse, All of Liu Longwei''s suits were in black colors and his shirts were in whites.


    Getting to the shoe shelf, she saw nothing but black in different designs.


    Then is it his ties and cuff links which where in black?.


    She saw the shelf which was in the middle of the room, she looked through the transparent glass and saw his sun glasses and wrist watches which were in black colors.

 Chapter 39 - Chen Lihua gives an excuse using Liu Longweis name.

    Even the cuff links in the showcase was black.


    Chen Lihua had to throw her face to another direction least she gets blinded by what she was seeing.


    On the other hand, Liu Longwei was oblivious to Chen Lihua''s mindset, so he said to her.


    "Lihua you can unpack your things and keep them on the other side of the closet".


    Liu Longwei said pointing to the other side of the closet which had already been cleared out.


    And that was actually Madam Liu''s handwort. Earlier in the Chen Villa, she made the arrangements by calling the servants from the Liu Villa to make the neccessary arrangement for Chen Lihua.


    So, it wouldn''t be a problem for Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua to waste time on making space in the closet.


    Chen Lihua was about opening her travelling bag when she suddenly remembered something.


    "Oh my God!". Chen Lihua exclaimed.


    Liu Longwei thought something happened to her so, he asked worriedly, "What happened?".


    Chen Lihua looked up at him replying, "Lady Chen told me to notify her once we reach your villa and it skipped mind. Just look at me".


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh of relief because he had thought something happened to her not knowing that it was a minor matter so, he relaxed.


    "That''s not a problem at all because my mother has done that already".


    Chen Lihua looked at him in bewilderment, "And how do you know that?"


    "When we were on our way here, I happened to see my mother chatting with your mother. And not only that, I saw a bit of the texts she sent and found out she was telling on us to your mother. From that, I drew my conclusion that my mother would definitely inform her that we home already. But there''s no harm in informing your mother about it, that way, she would be at peace". Liu Longwei explained.


    Chen Lihua thought over what he just said and thought it made sense, so she brought her phone out from the bag in her arms, she put on her glasses and dialed Lady Chen''s phone number.


    She wore her glasses to prevent the phone''s light from entering her eyes.


    In the Chen''s villa, the phone rang once, before Lady Chen picked the call.


    This is because Lady Chen was still in the study room chatting with Madam Liu.


    Her calm voice came through the phone, "Hello Lihua".


    Hearing her mother''s voice, Chen Lihua said immediately, "Hello mom, am in Longwei''s Villa already. We arrived about 15 minutes ago". She said looking at her wrist watch.


    On the other hand, Lady Chen sighed before complaining, "I know about that thanks to your mother-in-law, or I would have had to wait on till now to hear from you".


    Hearing her mother''s complaints, Chen Lihua quickly explained, "Mom am sorry I forgot to call you immediately we (She and Liu Longwei) got to the Villa because I was chatting with Longwei".


    Chen Lihua said the latter part while looking at Liu Longwei who looked back at her in surprise.


    Well, what Chen Lihua said was not totally a lie because she had in did chatted a little with Liu Longwei and then argued with him as well, and so that sums the chatting she had with him up.


    Hearing that her daughter was chatting with her husband, Liu Longwei, Lady Chen became happy immediately and forgot all her grievances because to her, it showed that they were making progress so, she concluded on the call.


    "No problem then, extend my greetings to your husband. Good night, sweet dreams, I love you sweetheart".


    After talking, Lady Chen terminated the call immediately without waiting for Chen Lihua''s reply.

 Chapter 40 - Chen Lihua shakes her head wordlessly.

    Tut tut tut.


    And that was the sound that came from Chen Lihua''s phone which showed that the call had been terminated.


    Hearing the sound that came from her phone, Chen Lihua brought the phone away from her ears.


    ''What in the world is wrong with Lady Chen?''.


    Seeing the way Lady Chen ended the call without waiting for her response, Chen Lihua wondered why her mother was in a hurry.


    Chen Lihua''s face was blank for some seconds in thinking before she recovered.


    She then faced Liu Longwei, "Lady Chen asked me to greet you".


    Liu Longwei just nodded in response before saying, "You can go ahead and unpack your things while I take a shower".


    Chen Lihua removed the glasses from her eyes and put into the case before putting it in her handbag as the lights in the walk-in closet wasn''t affecting her eyes.


    Chen Lihua just said to Liu Longwei, "No problem, go ahead".


    Hearing a positive response, Liu Longwei turned to leave. Suddenly he paused in his steps. He turned and faced Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua knelt beside her bag in order to start unpacking her things when she noticed that Liu Longwei had stopped in his tracks, she felt he had something to say so she looked up, "Anything?".


    "This door connects directly to the bathroom so you can use it if you want". Liu Longwei said pointing at a white door.


    Chen Lihua looked at the direction he pointed at and was surprised because she wouldn''t have noticed the door if he didn''t show her since she was already bored looking at the black and white colors in his room, she didn''t bother trying to strain her eyes anymore.


    But looking at the white door which completely blended with the white wall, she wondered while he didn''t use a black door instead.


    Instead of stressing her brain with all these thoughts, she just answered him directly, "OK thanks".


    Liu Longwei let out an ''mmmhhh'' before leaving the room.


    Actually, Liu Longwei wanted to help Chen Lihua to unpack her properties but thought it wouldn''t be convenient for her as there were some personal things like inner wears she wouldn''t want him to see. So he found an excuse of taking a bath to leave which would save Chen Lihua from an embarrassment.


    What Liu Longwei didn''t know was that Chen Lihua would have asked him to leave even if he volunteered to help out as she wouldn''t want him to see her personal stuffs as they were not intimate.


    Liu Longwei closed the door of the walk-in closet as he left for the room.


    In the room, Liu Longwei removed all his clothes except for his underpants before going into the bathroom to have a shower.


    In Liu Longwei''s room, the bed faced the two doors which lead to the bathroom and walk-in closet directly.


    Back in the walk-in closet, Chen Lihua finished unpacking her things. She kept all her things in the appropriate place.


    She placed her wrist watch on the same shocase Liu Longwei placed his, as everything in the walk-in closet has been adjusted for her sake so she could keep her properties beside Liu Longwei''s.


    And they arrangements were made by Madam Liu which was the right decision.


    After unpacking her things, Chen Lihua kept her handbag on an empty shelf which was meant for bags. She saw Liu Longwei''s work bags of different designs in black on a shelf beside the shelf she kept handbag and shakes her head wordlessly.


    Next, she removed her shoes and kept them on the shoe rack and then she could relax a little.

 Chapter 41 - Her conclusion.

    Chen Lihua kept her empty traveling luggage where Liu Longwei kept his.


    Next, she changed into her white bathrobe, before leaving the room with her phone.


    Arriving at the bedroom, she kept her phone on the night stand before glancing at the bed.


    She saw the clothes Liu Longwei wore earlier on the bed and also the shoes he left beside the bed and took them into the walk-in closet.


    There, she put the clothes into the laundry basket she saw earlier while tidying up her things, and kept his shoes on the shoe rack without cleaning them.


    Going back to the bedroom, she saw that Liu Longwei was already out from the bathroom in a black bathrobe.


    Chen Lihua thought he really looked like a handsome devil in the black bathrobe which was a big contrast to his fair skin.


    Liu Longwei raised his head to look at her and found out that she looked like a beautiful white angel.


    He really did appreciate her beauty without knowing that Chen Lihua did appreciate his handsomeness as well.


    He looked at her for some seconds before asking in his deep male voice, "Did you put my clothes and shoes away?".


    Chen Lihua answered him straight away, "Yeah, I kept your clothes in the laundry basket and then your shoes on the shoe rack".


    "Oh then you got it right, but the shoe is dirty". As if suddenly discovering something, he asked "You kept your shoes like that as well?".


    Chen Lihua nodded while answering, "Yes, any problem with that?".


    Liu Longwei looked at Chen Lihua like he just heard something unbelievable, ''How could she keep the dirty shoes inside?''.


    But instead of arguing with her, Liu Longwei said, "Don''t worry, I will clean the shoes just go and take your bath. But next time, clean the dirty shoes before keeping them on the shoe rack or you could leave it to the servants. You can get a new slippers since this is your home now, so you won''t need to walk around on bare feet or with dirty shoes on".


    Liu Longwei let out a breath before explaining, "the reason I let you walk around with your shoes on was because there was no spare slippers for you. OK?".


    "Ok". Chen Lihua answered.


    Chen Lihua put her self in his shoes and knew she also wouldn''t be happy to see dirt or sand on the floor.


    But she wondered why he as well wore his shoes into the house, ''Maybe he did that because I wore my shoe as well''.


    And that was her conclusion.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua walked into the walk-in closet together each going in to their own business.


    Liu Longwei went in to clean their shoes (His and Chen Lihua''s) While Chen Lihua went in to get her toiletries.


    After getting her toiletries, Chen Lihua went into the bathroom through the door connecting it to the walk-in closet.


    When Chen Lihua entered the bathroom, she was in awe because where she just entered was huge, she couldn''t believe her eyes.


    The bedroom was very big, that''s well expected. The walk-in closet wasn''t spacious as well, no problem about that since two people were making use of it.


    And now looking at the bathroom that has the same size as the walk-in closet, Chen felt that it was a waste of space.


    The bathroom was very spacious that more than Five people could be in there at the same time doing their daily business.


    That was not all, the bathroom had two different places for a bath. A bathtub and a shower cubicle. Then a toilet, a bidet, a towel rack, bathroom cabinet, washbasin, vanity unit, bathmat, bathroom scales, etc.


    Anything you could find in advanced modern day bathroom, you could see it there.


    ''Being rich is good''. Chen Lihua said to her self.


    In the bathroom, Chen Lihua first brushed her teeth with her electric toothbrush before taking a nice bath in the bathtub.

 Chapter 42 - You can lie on any side you are comfortable on.

    Chen Lihua was lucky that Liu Longwei didn''t enter the bathroom at that period she was making use of it because, she didn''t lock the two doors leading to the bathroom before using it.


    And she was too astonished with the bathroom for her brain to booth.


    It was after wearing her bathrobe and about leaving the bathroom that she came to a realization that she took her bath without locking the two doors.


    After wearing her bathrobe, Chen Lihua hanged her towel on the towel rack. There she saw another white towel which actually belonged to Liu Longwei already hanged on the towel rack.


    The only way to differentiate between their towels was, the medium sized red rose flower embroidered in the middle of Chen Lihua''s towel, and it was so eye-catching that you wouldn''t mistake it for anyone.


    Chen Lihua put away the shower cap on her head, she arranged her toiletries and walked towards the door leading directly to the walk-in closet.


    She pulled the door open, and it was then that it dawned on her that she didn''t lock the door.


    Then she closed the door without going out and walked quickly to check the other door leading directly to the bedroom.


    She bent the door handle and the door opened, letting her see the view of Liu Longwei sweeping the room.


    Liu Longwei heard the door opening and turned towards that direction only for him to see Chen Lihua standing there with a shocked facial expression and a gulf of white steam rising behind her in the bathroom.


    He was surprised to see her standing there and looking at him like she had seen a monster and before he could say anything, she banged the door.


    He was surprised at the speed she banged the door, so he stared at the closed door for some seconds before continuing with the sweeping.


    When Chen Lihua banged the door, she held her chest with her hand breathing heavily.


    She thought, ''Oh my God!, so Liu Longwei was in the room and I left the doors opened, what if he had opened the door when I was having my bath?. Chen Lihua shuddered at that thought.


    After calming down, Chen Lihua went into the walk-in closet.


    She dressed herself in a simple pink Hello Kitty short-sleeved, knee length gown, then she rolled her black waist long hair, styled in a French plait/braid, and covered it with a hair net before leaving the walk-in closet.


    As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, She saw Liu Longwei standing beside the bed typing something with his phone.


    Liu Longwei in return glanced at her as she stepped into the bedroom before looking back at his phone without saying anything.


    Chen Lihua stood there awkwardly before asking, "On which side of the bed should I lie on?".


    Liu Longwei answered without looking up, "You can lie on any side you are comfortable on".


    Hearing his reply and his lack of interest, Chen Lihua answered, "Ok".


    After answering him, she still stood there in a daze wondering what got his mood changed as he was not lively as he was back in the day.


    Liu Longwei raised his head from his phone and saw her in a daze as she was staring at the bed without moving an inch.


    It was then that he noticed what Chen Lihua was wearing. He thought, ''What a childish young woman''.


    He continued looking at her and then, something directed his gaze towards her chest area.


    He thought it was weird because it looked like she was putting on a bra as that place was still as high as when she was dressed in her outing gown.

 Chapter 43 - Embarrassed.

    The only thought that surfaced in his head was whether Chen Lihua was afraid of him touching her or that her chest has fallen and she doesn''t want him to notice.


    It was at this point that Chen Lihua came to her senses and caught Liu Longwei staring at her and then, she followed his gaze to her chest and widened her eyes in shock.


    Liu Longwei noticed her eyes widening in shock and decided to be blunt in his question not minding how Chen Lihua will view him.


    Well there was no problem with that because they were now husband and wife and he was free to ask her any personal question.


    So he knitted his eyebrows and asked, "Are you wearing a bra?".


    Chen Lihua was more shocked when she heard that question.


    Her brain made a buzz sound for a while before she got herself.


    So she asked, "Excuse me, what did you say?".


    She asked to make sure that she heard what he asked and was not mistaken.


    Liu Longwei saw through her thoughts and asked again, "I said, are you wearing a bra?".


    Chen Lihua was speechless as no word could come out of her mouth at that moment.


    She looked down at her chest and her cheeks turned a few shades of red as she was shy.


    She breathed in and out to calm herself before answering him without looking at him, slowly, "Kind of, it''s a sports bra".


    After hearing her, Liu Longwei said immediately, "They are all the same thing. But why are you wearing it when you are about going to bed?".


    Chen Lihua''s cheeks turned a few shades darker.


    ''Does this man not know when to stop, does he want to keep embarrassing me?''.


    She got angry and said in embarrassment, "Nothing".


    Liu Longwei couldn''t take that as a reasonable answer so he said seriously, "I thought you are a doctor and should know that what you are doing now is wrong. If your are afraid that I will touch you, you don''t need to bother about it because I won''t, but if your chest has fallen and you are embarrassed about me seeing it, then you don''t need to bother because you''re my wife and I accept you the way you are".


    Liu Longwei said the last sentence smiling.


    Chen Lihua nearly had a heart attack. She was so flustered and angry. If a gun was beside, she would have shot Liu Longwei dead.


    "What did you just say? Whoose chest has fallen? Is your chest that has fallen".


    Chen Lihua said in anger.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly.


    Chen Lihua got so angry with Liu Longwei''s chuckle that her entire face was red. She removed the hair net on head and her hair was set free.


    She then threw the hair net at Liu Longwei and stomped back into the walk-in closet.


    Liu Longwei caught the hair net Chen Lihua threw at him and laughed louder this time around.


    He dropped his phone on the night stand and sat on the bed with smiles all over his face and waited for Chen Lihua to come out.


    Chen Lihua went into the walk-in closet and removed the sports bra. She then went back into the room.


    Liu Longwei saw that Chen Lihua has come out and looked at her chest area while Chen Lihua walked to the bed angrily.


    He noticed that Chen Lihua''s chest area was still the high as before, but the only difference was that when Chen Lihua came closer to the bed, he noticed two things pointed at him through the clothes. When he saw it, he now knew what he was, her ni***es.


    When Chen Lihua got close to the bed, she asked, "Have you seen that my chest has not fallen?".

 Chapter 44 - Asshole.

    Looking at her, Liu Longwei coughed awkwardly and was about putting his face in another direction when his eyes suddenly shown brightly as an idea got into his head.


    Chen Lihua didn''t notice something amiss so she just stood there waiting for his response.


    Liu Longwei suddenly got the urge to tease her so, he did just that.


    "I can''t see well at night even though the lights are on and that''s my secret which the public don''t know about so, please come closer so that I can have a good look".


    Chen Lihua looked at his serious face to find any atom of lie written on it but she couldn''t find any, so she foolishly moved closer till she was now standing beside him.


    Liu Longwei thought how foolish the woman was, she can''t even sense danger.


    ''Well since she came to me, I would have to make her feel at home''.


    Seeing her standing so close to him, Liu Longwei felt he was about going blind because, he could see things very well now.


    "Lihua, bend a little let me feel it by touching it, because your chest is still high and I think you wore something again. So, by touching it, I will know if it''s true or false".


    Chen Lihua''s face turned ugly and bright red like a riped tomatoes.


    She just found out that Liu Longwei was teasing her and she foolishly complied with it like an idiot.


    She immediately raised her right hand to hit him on his head when Liu Longwei swiftly caught it and teased her again.


    "Wow! Lihua, your breasts are vibrating and I can see two dotted things protruding from your clothes". Liu Longwei said in all smiles.


    Chen Lihua looked down at her chest area and found out that her ni***es were noticeable from the clothes and that struggling with Liu Longwei made her chest to shake as she wore nothing to pad them up or keep them in place.


    Chen Lihua was so embarrassed, because nobody has said those kind of words before so she took her hand out of Liu Longwei''s grip before shouting, "Pervert!".


    Then she ran to the other side of the bed and dove into the bed and used the white blanket to cover herself up to her neck while facing away from Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei laughed out loud. He doesn''t think something has given him joy like the joy he got from teasing Chen Lihua.


    "That pervert is your husband, so don''t forget".


    Chen Lihua gritted her teeth and said in English, "To hell with you. And you''d better stop laughing before I shut it for you".


    Liu Longwei controlled his laughter, but that didn''t mean that he stopped laughing.


    "How would you shut my mouth, by kissing me? If it''s like that, then I''d rather continue laughing while enjoying your services".


    Chen Lihua didn''t know what to say because the anger was about to burst her brains.


    She turned on the bed to face Liu Longwei and raised her two legs towards him but Liu Longwei used his two legs to hold her legs down while saying.


    "Wow! Look at the way you are throwing yourself at me, are you that excited or maybe you find me so attractive that you couldn''t resist my charms and now you want us to have our wedding night?".


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "Who wants to have a wedding night with you?. In your dreams".


    Then, she tried to remove her legs as Liu Longwei was clamping them down, but she couldn''t, so she said in anger, "Let me go asshole".


    Liu Longwei was shocked and let her go. He knew that she was a woman with a foul mouth but calling him an asshole, he was really taken by surprise.

 Chapter 45 - Chen Lihuas phobias.

    ''Asshole?'', well he would just let her be for now.


    Chen Lihua layed down properly after Liu Longwei released her legs but she still faced him.


    Liu Longwei layed down and faced Chen Lihua asked well.


    Changing the topic, he asked, "What are you most afraid of?".


    "You mean my phobia?". Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei nodded in affirmation.


    Chen Lihua sighed before answering, "I have acrophobia, Trypanophobia, pharmacophobia, and ophidophobia".


    Liu Longwei looked at her confusedly saying, "I only understood the first and the third one, acrophobia which is fear of heights and pharmacophobia, which is fear of drugs, what is the meaning of the other two?".


    Chen Lihua cleared her throat and answered, "Trypanophobia is the fear of needles, and ophidophobia is the fear of snakes".


    "OK, so, how do you cope with your phobias?" Liu Longwei asked because he was concerned about her.


    Chen Lihua answered while gesturing with her hands, "For acrophobia, I don''t think I can cope with it because, my fear for hights is on another level. Even looking down from a two story building or a duplex brings a great amount of fear in me. Once I look down from there, I''ll become so afraid as if I will fall from there the next minute and I''ll start breathing so fast, if the place am standing is higher than a duplex and I look down, I will have those symptoms and also faint from the fright".


    Liu Longwei asked, "What about seeing that height from a television or a magazine?".


    "If I see the height from a television, I''ll still be as scared as when am standing there physically. But as for a magazine or a newspaper, the symptoms are minor but sometimes, it doesn''t affect me at all.


    Liu Longwei sat upright because he found what Chen Lihua was saying interesting.


    "From what you said right now, it means you''ve never ridden a Ferris wheel before and all those rides and activities that has to do with heights?"


    "Yeah. I discovered that I had fear of heights when I was 6 years old when I tried climbing a tree. I saw my maternal cousins climbing a guava tree and decided to join them. I didn''t even climb that high when I looked down. I became so afraid that I couldn''t come down from the tree so I started crying untill my cousins called one of my uncle''s. So he carried me down from the tree. And since then, I''ve never dated to climb a tree".


    Chen Lihua chuckled at the end and Liu Longwei laughed as well as he found her story funny.


    Chen Lihua continued, "When I used to watch Indian movies, I sometimes carry my heart with my hands especially when they are dancing. They like dancing on a mountain and close to the place where the devil could take their bodies if they fall".


    Liu Longwei laughed out loud because Chen Lihua sound ex funny, "So you watch India movies?".


    Chen Lihua shrugged, "Yeah".


    "If I may ask, what do you like about them?".


    "Chen Lihua smiled, "I like so many things about them. First is their culture. I like their dressings like their Sari and others. I like their festivals especially the holi festival, which is the festival of colours and Dewali which is the festival of light".


    "Wow! You really do know a lot about them". Liu Longwei said, astonished.


    "Of course. I even have some of their clothes and Lady Chen doesn''t know about them".


    Liu Longwei pointed a finger at his head saying, "Am really wondering what Lady Chen would do to you if she finds out".


    Chen Lihua frowned a little, "You''d better not say anything to her or else your head will pay for it".

 Chapter 46 - Am a grown ass woman.

    "Don''t worry I won''t say anything". Liu Longwei said, bringing this thumb and index finger to his lips making the sign of zipping his mouth.


    "Good. During the holi festivals, the Indians put on an all white clothes and then, they celebrate and smear different colors on themselves. Diwali festival is held in the autumn and it''s celebrated by lighting candles and clay lamps and then crowned with fireworks".


    Liu Longwei was surprised that she knew this much about India so he asked, "How come you know so much about them?".


    Chen Lihua answered immediately, "Well, I learnt all these from their movies".


    "From the cooking show I watched, I learnt that the Indians have many varieties of herbs and spices, and they cook with them. They are team natural, just like us".


    Chen Lihua said grinning.


    "And they treat their women like a goddess. Well actually for some people, and I guess is because of their law and culture".


    Liu Longwei smiled, "I can see the way you''re smiling, I can tell that you''re happy talking about the".


    "Yeah, I only talk about what I like about them because it makes me happy. I like many other countries as well and their culture, and this is who I am".


    Liu Longwei chuckled, "Does your learning how to cook different dishes has something to do with the countries you like?".


    Chen Lihua shakes her head but because she''s lying on the bed she responded, "Not really. Once I taste a food for the first time and like it, I will learn how to cook it. Well this doesn''t mean that I know how to cook all the dishes I like. If I want to cook any new dish, I can just go to google and my problem is solved".


    "OK". Liu Longwei gave simple reply before saying, "You have deviated from talking about your phobias to another thing".


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh and gestured with one of her hands, "Imagine, look at me. Am sorry, I was carried away".


    "No problem, you can always continue from where you stopped".


    Chen Lihua laughed displaying her dimples, "OK. The second phobia which is Trypanophobia (Fear of needles) is not serious at all, well I don''t even know if it''s really a phobia or not because am just afraid of injections and drips as the neddles has to pierce my skin for their work to be accomplished".


    Liu Longwei laughed because he found what Chen Lihua said funny.


    "Do you normally cry when you see an injection needle?".


    Chen Lihua hit Liu Longwei lightly on his shoulder immediately he finished asking.


    "What are you saying? Am a grown ass woman, so why would I cry. The doctor or nurses just need to pet me a little and that will do the trick. If I was still little, I would have ran away on siting the neddle and then start crying when am caught".


    "You are really funny, and I like the way you talk". Liu Longwei says, smiling.


    "Thank you". Chen Lihua said winking with a smile on her face as the evidence of feeling proud from being complimented.


    When she winked, her dimples were not left out, because they were once again on display.


    Looking at her dimples, Liu Longwei felt happy because looking at Chen Lihua''s happy face, he felt satisfied and happy.


    He felt that there shouldn''t be sadness, sorrows or tears on such a beautiful face. Then he vowed to himself to always try to make her happy.


    Chen Lihua felt weird from Liu Longwei staring at her so, she looked away from him, cleared her throat and continued talking.


    "Pharmacophobia (Fear of drugs) is not serious as well, is on the same level as the Trypanophobia. I hate the smell of drugs because it can make me throw up".

 Chapter 47 - Cant sleep with the lights on.

    "You''re a doctor who treats patients and sometimes prescribe drugs for them, so why are you scared of drugs?" Liu Longwei inquired.


    "Being a doctor doesn''t mean that you have to like drugs, am different. I take drugs if am seriously ill, but once I get myself (recover) a little, Oh my God! am so sorry for that drug because it wouldn''t see the light of another day, because it will be sitting in the trash can the next second I recover".


    Sounds of laughter erupted from the room.


    Liu Longwei laughed so hard that Chen Lihua joined him.


    After laughing for a while, Chen Lihua said, "I never knew you could laugh so hard. I thought a business man like you would be so difficult to please, but look at you now with all smiles on your face".


    Liu Longwei said with all smiles, "I''ve told you before that am not cold to my family and friends, and you are in the category of family, so am free with you. But am not as cold as the reporters said because am a business man. No matter how wealthy and powerful I am, I would never be unreasonable. I smile in public, but that''s not how I really am. Once it comes down to business, I become serious because it''s all about profit then".


    "Well said" Chen Lihua said while applauding.


    After that she continued, "Ophidophobia (fear of snakes) is very serious just like Acrophobia. I get goosebumps just from thinking and talking about snakes. Look at my skin now, you can see the goosebumps".


    Chen Lihua said stretching out her hands towards Liu Longwei for him to see the goosebumps.


    Liu Longwei felt the goosebumps by touching her arms and then withdrew his hands immediately as he knew Chen Lihua would be uncomfortable if his hands were to linger on her body for another second.


    "I can feel it".


    Chen Lihua took her hands back, "If I see a snake and it''s far from me, I would become frightened and start screaming immediately. But if it''s close to me, I would have shortness of breath and faint. I also feel uncomfortable and irritated when I see them on television or on paper, so that''s it".


    Liu Longwei sighed, "I can understand this particular phobia of yours because many people are afraid of snakes. Since I know all your phobias, I think I''ve taken another step into knowing more about you".


    Chen Lihua had a thought while looking at Chen Lihua so, she decided to voice it out.


    "Do you have any phobia?"


    Liu Longwei thought for a while before replying, "No. Unless I''ve not come across it".


    "OK. I think it''s quite late and we should sleep or you''ll be late for your flight tomorrow morning".


    Liu Longwei wanted to tell her that even if he slept late, he would still wake up early as his body was used to waking up early, but he decided against it as it would lead to another discussion, and on a second thought, he wanted Chen Lihua to discover it on her own.


    So he stood up, and went to switch the lights off while Chen Lihua set an alarm for 5am on her phone.


    After switching the lights off, Liu Longwei lifted up the blanket and slid into it leaving the bedside lamp on.


    Chen Lihua dropped her phone on the night stand and switched the side of her bed lamp off.


    "Please, could you switch off the lamp, as I can''t sleep with the lights on". Chen Lihua pleaded with Liu Longwei.


    "No problem". And with that, he switched the lamp off and the entire room was immediately envoloped with darkness.


    "Goodnight" Liu Longwei said.


    "Goodnight" Chen Lihua replied.


    Some minutes later, they two slept off and the room carried their evened breathing.

 Chapter 48 - Confident by Demi Lovato.

    Chen Lihua woke up in the middle of the night.


    She sat up in a daze and stretched her hand towards her phone on the night stand.


    She kept patting around for her phone untill she felt it in the darkness.


    She put on her phone''s flashlight before coming down from the bed.


    So as not to disturb Liu Longwei, she didn''t switch on the Lamp or room light.


    She went into the bathroom and shut the door gently.


    Hearing a thud, Liu Longwei stirred on the bed before waking up. Then he switched on the lamp on his side before sitting up.


    He rubbed his eyes tiredly. Few minutes later, Chen Lihua emerged from the bathroom with her phone light on.


    When she entered the room, she saw Liu Longwei sitting on the bed and the lamp beside him on, she felt a little bad as she felt that she woke him up.


    So she walked to the side of her bed and asked, "Did I wake you?".


    Liu Longwei smiled, "I guess".


    Chen Lihua climbed unto the bed, "Oh, am sorry. The too much drinking I had in the day is affecting me now".


    "I understand, go to sleep".


    Chen Lihua kept her phone on the night stand and used the duvet to cover her body.


    Then, Liu Longwei switched off the lamp and laid down, later drifting off to sleep.


    By 5am, Chen Lihua''s alarm rang.


    ''It''s time for me to take it, am a boss right now, not going to fake it, ............''. Confident by Demi Lovato.


    The alarm rang for some time before Chen Lihua sat up. She then looked towards her left side and found Liu Longwei missing and his bedside lamp was left on.


    She stared at his side of the bed for a while before diverting her eyes to her phone that was still ringing.


    She took her phone and off the alarm and the room was immediately filled with silence.


    Just then, Liu Longwei came out from the bathroom and saw Chen Lihua sitting on the bed.


    He smiled saying, "Good morning, how was your night.


    Chen Lihua saw him in a sport outfit, and greeted him, "Good morning, my night was good, and yours?".


    "It was fine. I heard your alarm from the bathroom". Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua answered, "yeah. Are you going for a jog?".


    Liu Longwei answered swiftly, "No, am going to gym room to exercise for a bit".


    "Wow!, You have a gym here, that''s wonderful, I like it". Chen Lihua said happily.


    "Do you want to come with me?". Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua nodded in agreement and stood up, "Please wait for a while, I have to brush my teeth and change my dress".


    "No problem". Liu Longwei replied and walked to the wall to switch on the lights next, he opened the curtains. After that, he sat on the bed to wait for her.


    Chen Lihua went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and came out three minutes later through the walk-in closet after changing her clothes to a fitted black sports trouser with a pink stripe by the sides and a pink maching top.


    Once she came into his sight, Liu Longwei smiled and stood up from the bed, and said, "Let''s go, and bring your phone along so, you can play music with it".


    Chen Lihua did as he said and Liu Longwei took his phone as well and Chen Lihua followed behind him as he walked towards the door.


    Liu Longwei opened the door and gestured to Chen Lihua with his hand, "After you my Lady".


    Chen Lihua blushed and proceeded to walk out first. Liu Longwei closed the door and led the way to the gym room.

 Chapter 49 - Chen Lihua intiated a hug.

    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua went downstairs together and into one of the rooms there, which is the gym room.


    Then, Liu Longwei showed Chen Lihua the Bluetooth speaker, where she would play the music from, through her phone.


    "Connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker and play a song". Liu Longwei said pointing at a Bluetooth speaker.


    Liu Longwei switched on the Bluetooth speaker and connected it to her phone, then she played a song.


    Turning around to look at the room, she was in awe. She saw a barbell, dumb-bells, rowing machine, a treadmill and an exercise bike.


    "What a little gym house you''ve got here". Chen Lihua said looking around.


    Liu Longwei swiftly replied, "Thanks. Sometimes am so busy that I don''t have the time to visit a gym house and with that I crafted my own".


    "That''s a really good idea". While talking, she walked towards the treadmill.


    Liu Longwei''s eyes followed her, and as he looked her up and down, he noticed that her shoelace was not tied properly and if she climbed the treadmill and ran on it, she would trip and resulting to a bad fall.


    So, he called her, "Lihua".


    Chen Lihua stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, "What?".


    Liu Longwei walked to her, and stopped in her view, the he squatted while saying, "Look at your shoelaces, it''s already dropping. Don''t you know how to tie them properly?".


    Chen Lihua looked at her feet and saw that the shoelaces had come undone, she sighed.


    Then hearing Liu Longwei''s question, she answered truthfully, "It''s true, I really don''t know how to tie it".


    Liu Longwei was helping her to retie the shoelaces, and as he heard what she said, he paused and looked up at her.


    "You''re joking right, because I was only joking, so don''t take the question serious".


    Chen Lihua shakes her head in a negative stance, "It''s not a joke, I really don''t know how to tie it. No matter how hard I try, I still can''t get it right".


    She then sighed and continued, "From my little age till the time I traveled, my mother always tied it for me. I can tie shoelaces for other people, but I can''t tie for myself. The best that can happen is that, if I finally manage to tie it, the shoelaces would look different, the shoelace on my right shoe would be different from my left shoe".


    Liu Longwei smiled saying, "Don''t worry, you have me now".


    And with that, he stood up, patted her shoulders lightly, before walking to the rowing machine.


    Seeing him walk away after patting her shoulders, Chen Lihua frowned a little and then looked down at her feet. She was surprised, she even bent down to have closer look.


    Liu Longwei had tied the shoelaces into a butterfly style, and the design was neat and tight, so it won''t easily come undone.


    Chen Lihua traced the shoelaces and smiled harmlessly, She couldn''t describe the feeling she felt, but deep down her heart, she knew she was very happy and satisfied.


    She stood up, and with a smile on how face, she went towards Liu Longwei who was already sitting on the rowing machine.


    She bent down and hugged him saying, "Thank you".


    Liu Longwei was surprised that she initiated a hug, but he hugged her back.


    When Chen Lihua pulled away, she didn''t feel embarrassed at all, instead she glanced at her neatly tied up shoelaces and said, "Thank you, it''s pretty".


    "You''re welcome, are you that happy?". Liu Longwei asked with a smile.


    "Yeah, of course, I feel so touched". Chen Lihua answered sincerely.


    Liu Longwei said gently, "OK, from today onwards, I will help you to tie your shoelaces. Now go ahead and exercise for a bit".


    Chen Lihua nodded and walked towards the treadmill, she put it on, and started treading slowly.

 Chapter 50 - Ive tried before and couldnt get it right.

    Just now, when Chen Lihua hugged Liu Longwei, Liu Longwei felt her chest on his neck because of the angle.


    Chen Lihua was standing while Liu Longwei was sitting, so for Chen Lihua to hug him, she had to bend down.


    Initially when Liu Longwei felt Chen Lihua''s chest, he wanted to tease her, but later refrained as he didn''t want to change the atmosphere of happiness revolving around her.


    After five minutes of using the treadmill, Chen Lihua came down from it. She was panting so hard and trying catch her breath. She was even sweating a little, as beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead.


    When Liu Longwei who was using the rowing machine saw her breathing so hard, he was speechless, so he criticised her.


    Who knew that Chen Lihua would shamelessly say that she prefared the exercise bike and hopped onto it immediately.


    She covered her eyes with the 4D glasses and started ridding it with a smile plastered all over her face as she was indeed having fun.


    Looking at her and seeing her have fun, Liu Longwei gave up on what he wanted to say. He as well left the rowing machine for the treadmill. He set the treadmill for 20 minutes and started treading.


    And with that, they both exercised. 10 minutes later, Chen Lihua started mumbling inbetween, that she was tired.


    Liu Longwei then called her a lazy girl.


    Chen Lihua came down from the bike and stretched her legs, next she rested for two minutes before hopping into the bike again.


    After the timing for the treadmill elasped, Liu Longwei started doing push-ups/press-ups.


    As he was doing that, Chen Lihua came down from the exercise bike, looking worn-out.


    Liu Longwei continued with what he was doing and told her to join him in doing push-ups.


    Chen Lihua rejected him, saying she didn''t know how to do it, while saying so, she sat on a mat and watched him.


    While doing the push-ups, Liu Longwei said, "You have to try first, before saying you don''t know how to do it".


    Chen Lihua shrugged her shoulders saying, "I''ve tried it before, and I couldn''t get it right ".


    Liu Longwei stopped doing the push-ups and sat on the mat he was using earlier.


    "I don''t think you will say that again after my guidance. watch me". And with that, Liu Longwei posed and did the push-ups for 2 counts before telling Chen Lihua to do it.


    Chen Lihua said it was useless and that there were some things she could never learn in this world no matter how hard she wants to OR no. matter the effort she put into learn it, and that doing push-ups was on of it.


    Liu Longwei encouraged her to try it first before saying any other thing.


    Chen Lihua wanted to refute him, but gave up that idea. She then attempted doing the push-ups to show him exactly what she meant.


    Since he didn''t understand her verbal explanations, maybe he would understand what she has been saying since if he saw her in action.


    And with those thoughts, she got into the position of doing push-ups to demonstrate to him.


    As she stayed in that position, with her body hanging in the air, she then lowered herself to the mat and tried lifting herself up.


    She kept doing that a few times while making noise with throat.


    Liu Longwei who was watching her all this while was looking at her in astonishment. He saw her she tried lifting herself and failed after all the noise she made. He also saw how her gave up, and then sat on the mat comfortably.


    Chen Lihua Streched her arms while saying, "Why are you looking at me like that?, didn''t I tell you that I didn''t know how to do it, but you insisted, and I performed to show you".


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh while having these thoughts. ''There are some people that when you see them try to do something they don''t know how to, you will know whether they will eventually learn how to do it or not. But seeing Chen Lihua try doing the push-ups, he already knew that she belonged to the latter. No matter how you teach, she would never learn how to do it.


    So, having heard what Chen Lihua said, Liu Longwei laughed dryly, "Lihua, it''s now that I understood what you''ve been trying to say. Don''t bother about the push-ups, it''s not for you. ytou can always do something else that is easier than it".

 Chapter 51 - "Got that wifey?".

    Chen Lihua smiled but frowned at Liu Longwei''s next words.


    Recalling how Chen Lihua struggled to do the push-ups, Liu Longwei laughed out loud saying, "I can''t believe that you are so weak".


    Chen Lihua immediately defended herself with these words. "Am not weak, it''s just that the push-ups is too difficult for me".


    Liu Longwei nodded as if in understanding, "What about the treadmill, you spent only 5 minutes. Then what about the exercise bike you said, you prefared?, you spent a total of 20 minutes why resting in between. In fact, let''s just say you did it for 10 minutes because you rested inbetween so, I disqualify the other 10 minutes".


    Chen Lihua stood up, she put her left hand on her waist while pointing with her write hand at him.


    "How can you do that, what right do you have?, Are you the refree, or are you my coach?, Just what is your role?".


    Liu Longwei gave a meaningful smile, What right do I have?, Am your husband. My role?, Am playing the role of your husband. Anything else, Lazy girl?"


    Chen Lihua was so angry that used the finger that was pointing at him to poke him on his forehead, "How dare you call me a lazy girl?. One, am not lazy. Two, am not a girl, I am a young woman. Does all these body look like that of a girl?".


    Liu Longwei brought her finger that was poking his forehead away, and that too, gently. Next, he stood up.


    "One, you''re lazy because I''ve monitored and evaluated the exercises you did, so your achievement is in the Amature level. Two, you''re still a girl to me, you''re not yet a woman because, I haven''t made you one yet as you are still a Virgin, and you''re still young, just like a high school girl. It''s just that your height is deceiving you".


    After all these talks, Liu Longwei smiled brightly seeing Chen Lihua frown, and grit her teeth in anger.


    He then touched her face lightly before it was hit away by her, saying, "Got that Wifey?"


    Chen Lihua was breathing so hard that her chest rose up and went down quickly, she then explained in anger, "For your information, am not lazy, Working out is not my thinh, and am not little. But agreeing with what you just said, am 22 and you are 30. Since am a girl, then you''re a full adult man. So comparing our ages, I think you know that you are too old for me and it''s child abuse".


    Seeing that Liu Longwei has gotten angry, she no longer felt angry because of his words, instead she clinked glasses with her brain, in her head as she had gotten the effect she wanted.


    Instead of stopping, she continued with a smile smeared all over her face.


    She walked around Liu Longwei asked if evaluating him while at the same, infuriating him to death.


    "Imagine when you were eight years old, I was just a little baby who just came into this world. I was so pure and innocent. Imagine we got married at that time, is it not insane?. Now, you''re 30 and am 22, Is it not the same age difference. So, am not angry at you anymore because you got it right, am still young and you are still Old. What a good match".


    Chen Lihua was really angry when Liu Longwei called her a girl and as if that one was not enough for him, he said that she was still young.


    Chen Lihua hated when people criticized her age and said that she was little. Other people would be happy to be called or seen as young, but it was a direct opposite for her.


    She had once poured an iced drink on a girl who made fun of her because of her age during the season of Autumn.


    The girl has been criticizing her and Chen Lihua couldn''t hold it in any longer so she put a cup of disposable coffee into the fridge especially for her. That afternoon, she hid it inside her handbag and meet her friends.


    The bully thought she could still eat her cake and have it, but she she got it all wrong, so once she was in the middle of her usual taunts, she was baptized with an iced cup of coffee.

 Chapter 52 - A second Hug to show assurance.

    After Chen Lihua finished taunting him, she noticed that the man was staring at her and his face was totally black.


    Chen Lihua moved away from him, and stared at him as well.


    ''Why is he so angry?''.


    Chen Lihua felt bad seeing Liu Longwei look so angry, so she tried to make peace, but Liu Longwei beat her to that.


    Looking at Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei''s hardened face relaxed a little. He knew he was at fault for first looking for trouble, so he decided to apologize without knowing that Chen Lihua had that in mind.


    So as Chen Lihua opened her mouth, she heard Liu Longwei already apologizing.


    Liu Longwei looked down and said, "Am sorry, I didn''t mean to annoy you".


    Chen Lihua was a bit taken by surprise, she didn''t expect Liu Longwei to apologize and that, beating her to it. So, she didn''t say anything and only looked at him.


    After apologizing, Liu Longwei didn''t hear her say anything, so he looked up and their gaze met.


    Seeing her stare at him like that, he thought that she was lost in thought and didn''t hear him, so he apologized again. "Am sorry".


    This time around, Chen Lihua made a move. "No problem, am sorry as well".


    Chen Lihua felt obligated to explain so she said, "I was rude too, it''s just that I hate hearing someone tell me that am young, it''s like my Achilles heel. I entered school at an early age, and most people in my class were older than me, so once they asked me of my age, I told them the truth. And then, they found out that I was so much younger, so whenever my classmates discussed something more adult like, they would leave me out of it and when I want to join them, they would say that am a small child and little to join their discussions so I was felt left out. So, since then, hearing someone call me little or say that am young will evoke anger, and it has not always been good, especially to the victims".


    After hearing her explanation, Liu Longwei now understood why she got so angry when he said that. He felt happy that she shared a little part of her life with him.


    "Am really sorry then".


    Chen Lihua smiled and waved her hands saying, "No problem at all".


    Liu Longwei confirmed from her again, "So, we are OK now, right?".


    Chen Lihua nodded, "Yeah, of course, we are good now".


    Seeing him still staring at her, Chen Lihua stepped forward and hugged him again to assure him that she didn''t take those things he said to heart anymore.


    Liu Longwei relaxed as he felt her in his embrace, so he hugged her back. This time around, he patted her back gently.


    While behaving gently, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua didn''t have time to think about other things, whether their present closeness was appropriate or not.


    Actually, it''s appropriate and completely legal. But in their right mind, they would have felt akward as Chen Lihua''s chest was completely pressed on his.


    Chen Lihua didn''t think too much about it as she spent years abroad, so she was used to hugging both male and female friends. While Liu Longwei on the other hand felt her chest, but didn''t think too much about it as well, as he was immersed in Chen Lihua''s care, assurance and gentleness.


    After the hug, Chen Lihua thought about something he said earlier and asked, "Am really curious, how did you know that am still a virgin?"


    Liu Longwei let her go after the hug. Hearing her question, Liu Longwei answered truthfully and immediately, "Lady Chen".


    He let those two simple words out of his mouth so easily, without the slightest bit of hesitation.


    Chen Lihua exclaimed through gritted teeth and closing her eyes "I knew it!".


    Then she opened her eyes and asked, "When did she tell you that?"


    Liu Longwei answered again, "Two days ago, when we discussed our marriage".

 Chapter 53 - Chen Lihuas reason for breaking up with her boyfriend.

    As she heard what Liu Longwei said, Chen Lihua could already imagine her mother convincing Liu Longwei about the marriage by telling him she was a virgin.


    Chen Lihua felt embarrassed and looked away from Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei noticed her sudden change, and said, "There''s nothing to be embarrassed about, so don''t be".


    He paused and then continued, "How do your mother know so much about your sex life?".


    Chen Lihua sat on the mat, and Liu Longwei followed suit.


    Chen Lihua sighed and started explaining, "Since I was a teenager, my mom always told me to keep my body pure for my husband, that there was a kind of respect I would get from him because of it, although not all men cared about it and would still respect you as far as they loved you. She also said that even at that, I should not live like a prostitute by sleeping around like others, that it wouldn''t get me any where, that instead I would be downgrading my worth".


    Chen Lihua took a breath and continued, "I agreed with what she said because she made me feel that if I lost my virginity carelessly, I would regret it for the rest of my life. She told me it was my pride, so I learnt to value it. Although I''ve dated before, but I still kept my body intact. There was a time I was nearly raped. At that point, I felt that my life was over, and if I was really raped, I would commit suicide because I couldn''t imagine leaving with that trauma. So, I cried and even begged him, I also promised him money and wouldn''t report him if he let me go. Seeing my tears, he let me go and consoled me, saying that he loved me and wouldn''t actually hurt me. He said he was sorry. After a week, we broke up because I couldn''t get over it, but we are still friends now".


    Listening to her, Liu Longwei felt bad for her and asked, "The person who tried to **** you was your boyfriend?".


    Chen Lihua nodded in affirmation, "I told Lady Chen I had a boyfriend, she didn''t say much and only advised me to be careful. After we broke up, I told her as well but didn''t tell her the genuine reason for it, I just made up a lie saying we weren''t compartible to be partners, and so we decided to stay as friends. I also told Lady Chen that I was still a virgin. Even when I came back from the US, she asked me about it and I told her that I was still a virgin, so that''s it".


    Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua for 5 seconds before advising her.


    "Lihua I just want to tell you, that no matter what may happen in future, don''t ever try to commit suicide because, there are people that love you and will always wrap their arms around you".


    Chen Lihua nodded, "I know".


    "Good". Liu Longwei said while nodding lightly before continuing.


    "Another thing I want to say is that if you really love someone, even though he''s not your husband, you will surely feel attracted to having sex with the person, unless you tell yourself, you don''t and then abide by your principles".


    "I understand ". Chen Lihua said before lying flat on the mat.


    "Ok", Liu Longwei said before trying to get rid of the current atmosphere.


    So, he suggested to do sit-ups since the push-ups didn''t work out.


    Chen Lihua groaned and rolled on the mat saying saying that she was tired.


    Liu Longwei coaxed her by telling her that she had rested enough and it was the last exercise before they washed up.

 Chapter 54 - Did I just get kissed?

    Chen Lihua reluctantly agreed and sat up. In the process of doing the sit-ups by herself, Chen Lihua''s legs kept coming forward, and that to, towards her face as she couldn''t hold her legs in place.


    Seeing that, Liu Longwei chuckled while She frowned a little before she beckoned on Liu Longwei to assist her.


    Liu Longwei squatted in front of her saying, "Do you need help?".


    "Yeah, hold down my legs because I wouldn''t be able to get it right without anything holding my legs down".


    As she finished talking, she laid down on the mat, with her feet in the right position.


    Liu Longwei didn''t banter with her, instead he got down to business.


    He knelt in front on her. Next, he used his hands to hold her legs in place.


    After getting into position, Liu Longwei said to her, "You''ll have to do this for 20 counts".


    Chen Lihua grunted, "Isn''t it too much?. By the time am through with this sit-ups, my stomach would already be on fire".


    Liu Longwei rebutted her immediately saying, "The count isn''t too much at all. Besides, the sit-ups is just right for your stomach, it (the exercise) will make it (Stomach) firm".


    After saying that, Liu Longwei felt Chen Lihua''s stomach by pressing it lightly. Then he said, "See, your stomach is too soft".


    Chen Lihua retaliated with these words, "There''s nothing wrong with my stomach being soft".


    Liu Longwei didn''t have the energy to argue with her, so he concluded, "Whether your stomach is soft or hard, you need to exercise as it''s good for your body ".


    And with that, Liu urged her to start and Chen Lihua obeyed without further complaints.


    Chen Lihua did the sit-ups at a moderate speed. But as she got to count 10, She became tired, so she slowed her movements down.


    Liu Longwei noticed this and quickly cheered her up, telling her to muster her strength up and that the sit-ups was the final exercise, and after it, they would rest.


    So at count 12, Chen Lihua increased her pace. She was breathing very fast and felt like giving up on the whole sit-up of an exercise but, Liu Longwei kept saying words of encouragement to her, so she continued.


    At count 18, something unexpected happened. Chen Lihua increased her pace from the moderate level to the highest level she could attain, so she became faster.


    At this count 18, and because Chen Lihua became faster, her lips collided with/met with Liu Longwei''s.


    So with her hands that were still supporting her head, her movements came to a complete stop.


    As her lips touched his, she immediately went into the state of shock and so, continued staying in that pose like a statute that she was about to turn into.


    While on the other hand, Liu Longwei pretended that nothing happened, but his smile gave him away.


    So he said while still pretending, "Why did you stop?, you still have 2 more counts to go".


    It was then that Chen Lihua came back to her senses, but still in that position while blinking her eyes, she still asked, "Did I just get kissed".


    Liu Longwei answered, "Well if you''re asking me, then I can say that our lips just brushed pass each other".


    Hearing his words, Chen Lihua laid down on the mat before wiggling her legs out from Liu Longwei''s grasp.


    Then she said, "I don''t care, it''s all the same to me".


    Liu Longwei sat back on his mat while answering her, "Congratulations then, because we just had our first kiss".

 Chapter 55 - The atmosphere of love.

    Still laying flat on the mat, Chen Lihua said in a mocking tone, "congratulations to you too".


    Liu Longwei didn''t take her mocking to heart. Instead, he smiled and said, "What are you still waiting for?, sit up, you have two more sit-ups to go".


    Chen Lihua ignored his words and still layed on the mat. She refused to comply with his words, "To hell with it, Am exhausted".


    While sitting on the mat, Liu Longwei ran his hand through his hair. He looked at her and smiled, as if knowing what was going through her mind.


    So he asked, "Are you shy?"


    His question surprised her, ''Who told him Shy?. After having this thoughts, Chen Lihua sat up. She rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Shy?, That word has been evacuated from my dictionary for now, it will return when I need it. As for now, I don''t need it. Am not shy at all, is not like it''s my first kiss".


    As she finished talking, she pulled her eyes away from Liu Longwei and looked around the gym room, suddenly admiring it.


    Liu Longwei smiled mysteriously as he saw through her.


    Chen Lihua was busy moving her eyes around, so she didn''t see the mysterious smile on Liu Longwei''s face. If she saw it, she would have at least had the knowledge of what was to come next.


    Liu Longwei continued smiling, "Really? But you''re behaving like it''s your first".


    When Chen Lihua heard his words, she felt that she was about to be put in trouble, but she didn''t know how, so she pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind.


    She turned to look at him without knowing that her cheeks were glowing in red crimson.


    "Am serious, I''ve kissed my ex-boyfriend before".


    Liu Longwei withdrew his smile, but his eyes still held a form of mischief in it, "Oh! Then show me, prove it".


    Chen Lihua frowned immediately and opened her mouth, about to talk, but Liu Longwei interrupted her.


    "No excuses, you just said it now, that it''s not your first kiss, so you need to proof it, or did you lie?".


    Chen Lihua didn''t want him to feel that she was lying, so she gritted her teeth and moved closer to him.


    She leaned her face towards him and pecked his lips. As she was withdrawing her face, she paused at Liu Longwei''s ridicule.


    "That''s it? Well I''ve kissed before, so I can show you how it''s done since you can''t seem to remember how a kiss is done".


    At his words, Chen perceived danger and wanted to retreat, but it was told late as Liu Longwei pulled her body towards him.


    As she was now leaning on his body, he held her face and kissed her sweetly and gently.


    He nibbled on her lips, then he kissed her lower lips, next, he kissed her upper lips.


    His hands move around her hair, massaging it slowly before his hand moved to her neck, gently caressing it, while still kissing her lips.


    He then gave her a French kiss. He kissed her so deeply that she forgot herself entirely.


    Chen Lihua tried responding to his kisses as she was to immersed in it for her brain to coordinate, but she couldn''t as this was her first real kiss.


    Chen Lihua didn''t lie to Liu Longwei when she told him that she had kissed before. But actually her ex-boyfriend didn''t kiss her, he pecked her on her lips so, she doesn''t know the difference between a kiss and a peck. And that was why she pecked Liu Longwei, assuming it to be a kiss when he asked her to.


    Chen Lihua hugged Liu Longwei''s neck as his hands slid down to her waist gently caressing it.


    The kiss lasted for a minute before Liu Longwei withdrew and stared at Chen Lihua who continues to nibble on his lips.


    As Chen Lihua was too immersed with the kiss, so she didn''t know when Liu Longwei stopped and so continued with the kiss.


    As she continued, she noticed that she was the only one doing the work as Liu Longwei had stopped responding and only him knew when he did that, so she stopped and opened her eyes.


    She still had her hands around his neck. While Liu Longwei still had his hands wrapped around her waist.


    They looked at each other before Liu Longwei opened his mouth and asked gently, as if he didn''t want to spoil the atmosphere of love, "Did you enjoy it?".


    Chen Lihua was still in a daze, so she nodded in response and went back to kissing him.


    As she still didn''t know how to kiss, she continued to nibble on his lips. As if that wasn''t enough, she ran her hands through his hair.


    Liu Longwei continued looking at the woman in his arms as he has found a new discovery.


    ''It seems like Lihua cannot control her libido, and once you lead her on, on this matter, she would continue''.


    Liu Longwei''s thoughts are true. Another reason Chen Lihua didn''t stop, is because she has already accepted Liu Longwei as her husband in her heart. So as she was kissing him, her mind kept telling her that he was her husband and it''s not wrong to kiss him.


    And with those thoughts, she continued with her work, as the music coming from the Bluetooth speaker continue to play.


    Liu Longwei smiled at his new discovery.


    ''No wonder she didn''t want us to share the same bed because she knows that once I make an advancement towards her, she wouldn''t be able to control herself and comply with it''.


    Liu Longwei wanted to let the woman in his arms continue, but he looked at the wall clock in the room and discovered that it was almost 6:30am, so he had to stop her or he would be late for his flight and also because he would be the one to suffer the most impact.


    So he called Chen Lihua''s name while moving his hands gently on her waist, as if trying to wake her up and also at the same time afraid to disturb her.


    "Lihua, Lihua, Lihua!".


    At the third call, Chen Lihua snapped back to her senses. She saw Liu Longwei looking at her with a gentle gaze.


    She saw herself in Liu Longwei''s arms and saw their suggestive ambiguous position, she felt like fainting.


    She even hoped that the ground will open and swallow her shame along with her.


    She had an awkward expression on her face as she scrambled her way out of Liu Longwei''s arms.


    Her face was burning hot as she didn''t know where to keep her face. She felt that she had lost her face today.


    ''OMG! how did I get myself into this, from a simple adventure of surveying, I ventured into exploring. Now what will Longwei think of me?, Will he think that am a loose woman who doesn''t know how to control herself?, I was given an inch, but I took a mile as I wasn''t satisfied. Oh God!, what''s wrong with me''.


    As all these thoughts were going through her mind, Liu Longwei was looking at her.


    From the time she left his body and and sat on the mat, till the time she frowned her her face and was having those thoughts, his eyes never left her sight.


    Liu Longwei was amused at her twisted facial expression, so he smiled and decided to lift the burden of having those nonsense thoughts continuing to torment her.

 Chapter 56 - Lets go back to the room.

    "There''s nothing to be embarrassed about, your actions are completely legal. But if you still have the time to be embarrassed, then you be because you don''t know how to kiss, even with my guidelines".


    With this comment, the earlier embarrassed expression on Chen Lihua''s face could no longer be seen. Instead, she was mad with anger.


    She opened her mouth to say some condeming words, but Liu Longwei didn''t give her the slightest chance.


    Liu Longwei gave a sign of stop with hands, "You don''t have to twist your face like poop, because you don''t look good with it. And you don''t have to feel bad because you don''t know how to kiss. You just have wait till I come back from the business trip, then I can teach you slowly, and you could take your time learning".


    Chen Lihua forced a smile which made her face look weird and then quickly withdrew it such that she was currently fuming with rage.


    "You must be mad, what did you mean by learn slowly? who wants to kiss you?. By the way, you really seem to know the way poop looks like. Seems to me that you''ve been staring at it each time you despose it off your ugly butts. Ewwwww!".


    Chen Lihua said the last part with the expression of being disgusted.


    Liu Longwei didn''t get angry at her words, instead he smiled while saying, "How can I stare at something that is meaningless. And how do you know that my butt is ugly?, have you seen it before or are you already fantasizing about it?"


    Liu Longwei asked while rubbing his jaws meaningfully.


    "Fantasizing my foot. Like I don''t have better things to think of than that". Chen Lihua retorted immediately.


    Liu Longwei let his fingers that was gently touching his jaws down, "I never can tell what''s going on in that little head of yours".


    "It''s pointless arguing with you. Am sweating so badly and I need to take a shower before the sweats seep back into the sweet pores". Chen Lihua said standing up.


    Liu Longwei agreed and stood up, "There''s a shower here, but I know you wouldn''t be comfortable, so, let''s go back to the room".


    Chen Lihua unplugged her phone from the Bluetooth speaker before disconnecting it. She then switched the Bluetooth speaker off and unplugged it from the socket.


    She walked out from the room while Liu Longwei switched both the Air condition (AC) and lights off before following after her.


    Outside the gym room, they both conversed. Liu Longwei gave a brief description of the villa.


    "There are six rooms downstairs including the living room and kitchen. There''s a lundry room, gym room, and two guests rooms".


    As the walked towards the stairs, Chen Lihua was slightly distracted by sounds coming from the direction of the kitchen, so she pauses in her steps.


    Liu Longwei seemed to know what was going through her mind because he immediately explained.


    "Someone is here to make breakfast for us and My mother sent her".


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding before climbing the stairs with him.


    Actually, Madam Liu was considerate enough to send someone to make them food as it''s Chen Lihua''s first time in the house, so she has to relax and feel at home and get used to the house first for the first few days or weeks.


    As the climbed the stairs, Liu Longwei continued, "Like downstairs, their are six rooms upstairs as well. One Master bedroom, a study room and 4 other empty rooms".


    Chen Lihua praised him, "What a big house you''ve got. What were you thinking when you got a house this big?".


    Liu Longwei replied immediately without mincing any word, "Family. I thought about my future with a wife and children".


    "That''s really strange that you really thought about having a family". Chen said.


    Liu Longwei smiled, "What''s weird about that?".


    Chen Lihua replied immediately, "Knowing your age, and with the way we got married, I didn''t know your thoughts had reached that far, only God knows when".


    Liu Longwei sighed, "I really had to think about the future, so it wouldn''t meet me when am unprepared".

 Chapter 57 - I like whats on display.

    "Interesting". Chen Lihua replied before they got to the room.


    Liu Longwei pushed the door open, and they both entered into the room and Liu Longwei closed the door behind them.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua both sat in the bed and removed their sneakers.


    Chen Lihua suddenly asked while untying her shoelaces, "Where does you bodyguards and servants sleep".


    Liu Longwei removed both his shoes while answering her, "The servants stay at the small buiding behind this building, so they don''t sleep in this particular buiding. As for the guards, they sleep in the small buiding close to the gate".


    "Is there any buiding close to the gate?". Chen Lihua asked in confusion as her movements paused.


    Liu Longwei lifted his pair of sneakers in one hand. But a look of surprised showed on his face when he heard Chen Lihua''s question.


    So, he thought he didn''t hear well, so he asked, "Are you serious?".


    Chen Lihua nodded in reply, and this caught Liu Longwei off guard.


    What was currently going through his mind was, ''Is this young Lady blind?''.


    As if to confirm his thoughts, he asked her with all seriousness, "Lihua, didn''t you see the security house close to the gate when we arrived at the Villa last night?".


    Chen Lihua thought for a while before reponding, "I didn''t see anything like that. Maybe I wasn''t paying attention, so I wasn''t opportuned to see it, but it''s OK, it''s not like I won''t still see it".


    Chen Lihua replied shrugging her shoulders as she stood up from the bed with her sneakers in hand.


    Liu Longwei was left speechless. He watched as the young lady was about walking off to the walk-in closet, before his words of advice came through.


    "Next time don''t behave like that. Even if you''re in the car with people you know, you are supposed to be vigilant by looking at your surroundings. How am I even sure that you can still recognize the street we are in if I should leave you in a nearby street and ask you to locate this place yourself?".


    Chen Lihua answered immediately without feeling shameless, "That''s true, I can''t recognize the street".


    Chen Lihua suddenly felt agitated and turned around to face Liu Longwei saying, "By the way, how do you expect me to recognize this street when I passed it for the first time in the night?".


    And without waiting for his response, she walked into the walk-in closet and slammed the door shut.


    ''Why is she throwing a temper when am giving her an important advice?''. Liu Longwei thought before standing up from the bed and immediately following after her.


    Chen Lihua had already placed her sneakers on the shoe rack before Liu Longwei came busting in, as she didn''t bolt or lock the door from the inside.


    As she heard the sound of the door being opened, she glanced at the door, and seeing it was Liu Longwei, she proceeded to remove the pink top on her upper body.


    The clothe was already above her abdomen before she stopped and looked towards his direction and uttered a word, "What?".


    The clothe was hanging on her body still displaying her abdomen, and she didn''t seem like she cared as her gaze was on him.


    Liu Longwei looked at the fair and flat abdomen that was displayed for the first time in his sight, and at the same time void of any scar, before his attention shifted to the culprits face, who didn''t even seem bothered by it.


    "I like what''s on display". Liu Longwei smiled and used his fingers to make a point.

 Chapter 58 - What are you doing?

    "Hooligan!". Chen Lihua muttered under her breath, but still didn''t bring the clothe down to cover the part of her exposed body.


    Instead she asked, "What are you still doing here?, hurry up and leave".


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything instead, he stared at her for a while before walking towards her.


    Seeing him walk towards her, Chen Lihua became high on alert. And as Liu Longwei came close to her, she asked while stuttering, "What are you doing".


    Liu Longwei still ignored, but his face was now very close to hers, such that his warm breath was felt all over her face.


    Since Chen Lihua was too high on alert, and her gaze never left his face, she failed to see the hand that was holding onto the sneakers, stretch past her side to keep then on the shoe rack behind her.


    Liu Longwei continued to tease her and asked with a hint on an ambiguous smile, "And what do you think am doing, Madamoiselle?".


    After asking the question, Liu Longwei brought the hand that had kept his shoe down, beside him and still maintained his position.


    Anybody that saw the two of them now will think they were doing a staring contest.


    When Liu Longwei failed to get a reaction from Chen Lihua, he stopped staring at her and took a step backwards. His eyes scanned her from head to toe before curving his lips to a knowing smile.


    ''It seems like she thought I would kiss her. Seems like I might have shocked her''.


    And with that, Liu turned around and walked towards the door. When he got to the door and with his back faced on her, he said in a light tone, "You don''t need to be angry about the advice I gave earlier, I did it for your own good".


    Then, he heaved a sigh and continued, "You need to wash up quickly, so I can do the same as well and have breakfast together".


    And with that, Liu Longwei pulled the door open and after he stepped out, he closed the door with a gentle thud in a fit to wake Chen Lihua up from whatever thoughts that she was dwelling on".


    When Chen Lihua heard a thud from the door, she immediately breathed in and out heavily like someone that has been holding her breath for hours. As she was breathing in and out, she turned around while patting her chest as if she had just escaped from the enemy''s hold.


    While turning around, it was then that she glanced at the shoe rack and saw the sneakers Liu Longwei wore earlier neatly kept on it. It was then that it dawned on her that she had been teased senseless by him.


    "Animal!", She shouted to ensure that Liu Longwei heard her well from outside of the door.


    Then, she went back to the main business. She removed the sports attire on her and pit them in the laundry basket before rolling up her waist long hair and covering it with a shower cap. Next, she wore her bathrobe and went into the bathroom.


    There, she had a quick shower before coming back into the walk-in closet. She rubbed her body lotion all over her body and face before putting on a black sleeveless gown with a side zip.


    She then wore the set of black 3 inches long shoe she wore yesterday on her feet. She then let her hair loose from the shower cap. She glanced at herself in the mirror, and seemingly satisfied, she then walked out from there and into the room where she saw Liu Longwei sitting on the bed and waiting for her to. appear.

 Chapter 59 - Lady Chens real age.

    When she stepped into the room, Liu Longwei who was glancing through his phone raised his head to look up at her.


    Without waiting for Chen Lihua to say anything, he asked, "How old is Lady Chen?".


    "40". Chen Lihua replied truthfully without holding back.


    There was a look of shock on Liu Longwei''s face. It felt as if he just heard something unbelievable, So he asked, "It is said on Lady Chen''s profile in the internet, she is 42".


    Chen Lihua had the look of impatience on her face as she said, "Then why are you still asking me if you don''t believe what I just said. Did Lady Chen ever say that she was 42?. The age on the internet is fake".


    What Chen just said is true. Lady Chen''s age on the internet is false, and Lady Chen has never disclosed her actual age to the public before or ever admitted to the age on the internet if it was true or false. Whenever she was asked of her age by the reporters, she would answer back with a question, ''Since am looking so young, how old do you think I am''. And after saying these words with a smile, she would walk out with a smile as well.


    So, the age on the internet was speculated by the reporters, and since Lady Chen didn''t make a comment on it, they let it be.


    Actually, even if they changed the age from 42 years to 50 years, Lady Chen wouldn''t even be angry, instead she would be proud that everbody thought she was 50 years old and still looked so young and vibrant.


    Hearing Chen Lihua clarify the matter, Liu Longwei was actually surprised that Lady Chen''s age was so close to his, he was 30 and she was 40. He shuddered at that thought.


    ''No wonder she was called Lady instead of Madam by the people close to her, because they know her real age''.


    At these thoughts, Liu Longwei nodded absent mindedly.


    Seeing Liu Longwei lost in his thoughts, Chen Lihua had a thought and suddenly asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about my mother''s age?".


    Liu Longwei looked up at her, and then shook his head saying with a lowered voice, "Nothing".


    And after replying, he took his phone with him and entered the walk-in closet.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t even be bothered with him and his attitude instead, she sat on the bed and picked up her Phone from the bed.


    The reason Liu Longwei didn''t want to tell Chen Lihua the reason phone inquiring on Lady Chen''s age was because he knew the kind of person Chen Lihua was.


    Once he told her the reason, She would flare up and won''t even send him off to the airport, instead she would go and pick up a fight with somebody and so because of that, he wanted her not to find out about the matter through him, and if possible never find out about the matter, but it was his wishful thinking.


    So after concluding in his mind, he decided to feign ignorance and throw the matter to the back of his mind.


    While waiting for Liu Longwei, Chen Lihua picked up her phone and played some games with it untill she received a call from Lady Chen.


    At the Chen''s Villa, Lady Chen woke up and freshened up. She then took her phone downstairs and went downstairs. Aunt Zin washed some fresh fruits that was bought that morning and brought it for her.


    Lady Chen picked up an apple to eat while using her phone.


    She went through her Instagram page and saw a lot of comments on the picture she took of Chen Lihua and posted yesterday with a caption.

 Chapter 60 - Jumping from the frying pan and into the fire.

    The caption was, ''What a wonderful day with my Hua''er''. This caption and the picture in which Lady Chen and Chen Lihua posed together caused numerous sensation.


    Everyone knew that Lady Chen had a daughter, but nobody knew what she looked like as she hasn''t been seen again in the public eye, and her pictures that were seen, we''re pictures of when she was still a child, and the pictures were a handful as she didn''t like taking photos.


    As she didn''t like talking photos was what people thought, but the actual reason was that she didn''t want anyone to know that she was the Chen''s heiress, so that she would know those that were genuine towards her.


    Another reason was that she didn''t like being in the limelight, she hates being surrounded and questioned by reporters because they will keep digging up news about her, whether the news was positive or negative, as far as she was a public figure.


    She felt that as these reporters that are like bees attracted to honey because she was the honey, and life will be constantly monitored as if the reporters were monitoring spirits.


    Even as a model abroad, she kept a low profile even though she was famous because that''s how she chose to live.


    So, imagine what will happen if Chen Lihua would not have peace from this day onwards?she will not take it lightly, obviously.


    As Lady Chen glanced through the comments left by her followers and curious people, her lips curled into a bright smile.


    Many people congratulated her for having a beautiful daughter and praised their family genes.


    Many saw clearly that Chen Lihua was a carbon copy of Lady Chen and said that they could pass off as sisters.


    Some said that they were beautiful, and hence began to argue on who was more beautiful.


    After reading through most of the comments, Lady Chen smiled even more and replied with two words ''Thank you'' and a happy emoji.


    After replying and with all smiles, as she was about to upload another post, her smile suddenly froze as if someone wiped it completely off her face.


    She suddenly remembered that her Hua''er like to keep a low key and she would cause a ruckus if she found out about the.


    With these thoughts, Lady Chen decided not to post again for the time being as what she wanted to post would cause even more commotion than the other news, and she would have to pay with her life this time around.


    This matter is exactly what Liu Longwei saw and refused to disclose to Chen Lihua, as he now knew her a little, and Chen Lihua already told him that she liked to be on a low key. And who knows what trouble she might cause if she finds out, she might even start venting her anger from him and then till the culprit that caused the problem.


    Since she has already jumped into the frying pan, she could only hold it in and control herself as she didn''t want to jump from the frying pan and then, into the fire, so she gave up on that idea.


    (Jumping from the frying pan and into the fire means, going from a bad situation to a worse situation).


    She then decided to call Chen Lihua to know if she has found out about the matter and settle the case when the sun is still shining because, the earlier the better the matter was settled, the better for her (Lady Chen).


    Back to Liu Longwei''s Villa.


    Seeing Lady Chen''s call, Chen Lihua suddenly became unhappy.


    But she still accepted the call and her voice filled with impatience greeted Lady Chen.


    "Good morning to you Lady Chen ".

 Chapter 61 - Did he touch you?.

    Lady Chen was surprised that the voice on the line was not filled with anger, but filled with impatience as if she (Lady Chen) disturbed her (Chen Lihua) and also couldn''t be bothered with her (Lady Chen).


    Lady Chen sighed in relief because she was able to detect from her voice that she was still ignorant of the matter.


    The reason why Chen Lihua didn''t know about the news till now was because she didn''t have a Weibo account, as she deleted before her travel to USA, as she didn''t want to be disturbed and loose concentration because she had something to achieve.


    Chen Lihua has an instagram account, facebook account and a Wechat account.


    And among all these accounts, she interacted more with others on Wechat.


    She didn''t follow Lady Chen on Instagram or Facebook as people will discover their connections, so she warned Lady Chen not to follow her on any social media, and to tag her as well.


    The only people that could discover or sense their relationship apart from their relatives were those that followed her and and Lady Chen on social media, but they do not exist because Chen Lihua doesn''t allow Lady Chen to take her pictures because, with the way her hands were itching, she would have done so and uploaded the picture a long time ago.


    And this is the reason Chen Lihua would be somewhat vigilant whenever Lady Chen was close-by with a phone in her hands.


    Chen Lihua also warned her verbally, but she didn''t know that what she had been trying to avoid had already come to an end.


    What gave Lady Chen the courage was that Chen Lihua followed her to the shopping mall, so she thought that her daughter had agreed to try staying in the limelight and to acknowledge their relationship.


    Having perceived that Chen Lihua wasn''t angry, Lady Chen heaved a sigh and decided to explain whenever she found out.


    So Lady Chen put the matter behind her and teased while ignoring her greetings, "Why are you talking to me with that kind of voice, are you in the middle of something or am I disturbing something?".


    "Lady Chen!". Chen Lihua shouted immediately in anger.


    "OK OK OK, stop shouting already. You''re already throwing a temper this early morning, are you on your period?".


    But without waiting for her reply, she continued immediately, "Be careful of showing that bad temper of yours to Longwei or else if discovered, she would be abandoned and become a grumpy old woman alone".


    Lady Chen paused slightly before saying without giving any time for Chen Lihua to interrupt, "No no no, you can''t be left alone to be a grumpy old woman since I haven''t seen my grandchildren yet. Wait, are you on your period?".


    Without waiting for a reply to the question, she said, "With the way you are throwing temper so early in the morning, it might be the case. But this is bad luck, that means nothing happened between you and Longwei".


    Lady Chen concluded and started asking bizarre questions, "Did you spend the night in the same bed with Longwei? Did he anything happen between you too?, Did he touch you?".


    It was this final question ''Did he touch you'' that was the last straw that broke the Camel''s back, because Chen Lihua terminated the call immediately without saying a word.


    Lady Chen was about to ask more questions when she had a tut tut tut sound that came from her phone, which indicated that the call had been terminated.


    Lady Chen was surprised because she didn''t see this coming. She then became aware that Chen Lihua might be angry, so she decided to call back, but who knew that her call wasn''t picked and as it rang over again, it entered a voicemail.


    "Brat!". Lady Chen said out loud before flinging her phone to the other side of the sofa she was sitting on.

 Chapter 62 - Having breakfast for the first time together.

    On the other hand, Chen Lihua ignored the calls coming from her mother and as she got tired of it, she put the call to voicemail.


    ''''This woman is becoming annoying, she didn''t even ask me how I was and if I was coping well, all she cares about is if I was touched".


    Chen Lihua muttered angrily in a low voice, she threw her phone to one side of the bed and laid down while having thoughts of her own.


    Two minutes later, Liu Longwei came out from the walk-in closet fully dressed in a black suit. Gold wrist watch, gold cuff links and a black tie in the appropriate places.


    Even when he walked out, Chen Lihua still continued laying on the bed, and at the time looking up at him.


    She then opened her mouth saying, "I would have thought we were going for a funeral with the color of dresses and accessories complimenting our body if I didn''t know I was sending you off to the Airport".


    "There''s no big deal, as far as we are satisfied and comfortable, who cares about it?". Liu Longwei said touching up his tie.


    Chen Lihua then sat up on the bed and looked at him from his head and then to his feet before discovering that he wasn''t putting on a shoe.


    She looked surprised at first before taunting him, "Where''s your shoe and what color is it?".


    Liu Longwei opened his mouth to talk, but Chen Lihua cut him off with a smile, she then raised the index finger of her right hand and waved it at his face while saying, "You don''t need to tell me because I know it''s black, Am I correct?".


    Liu Longwei smiled in response before saying, "We are going to have breakfast first, and then I will come up to do a little bit it of tidying and after that, I will put on a shoe, so you can remove your shoes for now and put on that smaller pair of flip-flops, because the bigger one is smile. You can come up to wear your shoes after breakfast".


    While talking about the flip-flops, Liu Longwei pointed at the two pairs of white flip-flops that were close to the door. Chen Lihua followed his hands with her eyes and was surprised when she saw the flip-flops.


    "When did it get up here because I didn''t see it". Chen Lihua questioned.


    "The maid brought it up when you were dressing. And I bet you wouldn''t even see it as you were to angry to bother about anything". Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua stared at his face for few seconds before inquiring, "How did you know I was angry?".


    Liu Longwei sat beside her in the bed while leaving an appropriate distance, "Very simple, your face showed it and your tone when you talked. Now hurry up so we can go down for breakfast".


    "Oh". With that reply, Chen Lihua removed her shoes and went into the walk-in closet, few seconds later she came out and saw Liu Longwei already wearing one of the pairs of flip-flops on his feet and a phone in his hands.


    "Let''s go". Liu Longwei said and opened the door. When Chen Lihua saw that he had already opened the door, she hurriedly picked up her phone as well and wore the her own flip-flops before following him out of the room.


    Going down the stairs, Chen Lihua followed behind him and on reaching the dining table, she saw a middle aged woman bringing out their breakfast from the kitchen.


    When the woman heard footsteps, she looked up after dropping some plates filled with food on the dining table.


    On seeing them, she smiled and greeted them, "Good morning Sir, Good morning Ma".


    Liu Longwei nodded without even bothering to smile, he went to sit on the dining chair. While Chen Lihua gave a polite smile and replied with a good morning before walking off to sit on the dining table as well".


    On the dining table, there were plates of western breakfast and fruit slices in them.


    Chen Lihua was happy seeing a hearty meal on the table. But because she was used to seeing and having that kind of breakfast in the Chen Villa and coupled with her upbringing, she didn''t drool and instead felt delighted.


    "Am farmished already". Chen Lihua said still looking at the food on the table.


    "Go ahead and eat up if you''re hungry then". Liu Longwei said gesturing with his hands.


    "Thanks then". Chen Lihua said and Liu Longwei replied with ''You''re welcome''.


    As Chen Lihua was about picking up a piece of apple with her fork, she received a call.


    Her movements stopped and then she dropped her fork and and picked up her phone that was on the dining table.


    She glanced at the screen and saw the name ''Lady Chen'' on it, she sighed and rejected the call immediately.


    She then attempted to pick up her fork again, but her phone rang again, and this time around, Liu Longwei looked up at her.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even look at him instead, she glanced at her phone and when she still saw the name ''Lady Chen'' displayed on the screen, she muttered under her breath, "Doesn''t this woman know when to give up?".


    Liu Longwei heard her and was surprised while wondering the identity of the woman she talked about.


    Chen Lihua used her fork to pick up a piece of apple before putting it in her mouth and then, she picked up the call while munching her apple.


    Immediately the call was picked, Lady Chen''s voice came through, "Lihua why didn''t you pick up my call, I''ve been trying to contact you, Are you still angry with me?".


    Chen Lihua chewed on the apple in her mouth and swallowed it before opening her mouth to say, "Lady Chen am having my breakfast now, could you please call back later so I wouldn''t loose my appetite, could you please doe that favor?".


    When Chen Lihua said the words ''Lady Chen'', Liu Longwei continued with his breakfast and still continued listening to Chen Lihua''s words while wondering what was going on between the mother and daughter.


    As Lady Chen heard Chen Lihua''s words, she said immediately, "It will only take a minute, pretty please".


    Lady Chen waited for a reply anxiously like a subject that did something wrong and was waiting for the Emperor''s verdict.


    Hearing pretty please, Chen Lihua paused before saying ''Go ahead'', before putting another piece of apple in her mouth.

 Chapter 63 - Chen Lihua plays a trick on Lady Chen.

    Hearing a positive reply, Lady Chen became happy instantly and started bombarding her with questions.


    "How are you? Are you coping well?, It''s Longwei taking good care of you?".


    Chen Lihua felt slightly better and her mood improved for the better, "Mum am fine, am am doing just OK, Longwei is also taking care of me".


    Lady Chen laughed softly and stopped suddenly and asked in a probing manner, "That''s good. I just wanted to ask if I should start telling my friends that Obama about to become a grandmother?".


    Cough cough cough, Chen Lihua immediately choked on the grape she just put in her mouth after hearing Lady Chen talk about becoming a grandma.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was coughing, Liu Longwei wanted to stand up, but Chen Lihua gave him a sign with her right hand not to bother.


    So, Liu Longwei sat back down and continued looking at her in concern.


    Chen Lihua didn''t expect Lady Chen to ask that kind of question so she choked on the grape in her mouth.


    Lady Chen really caught her off guard. She learnt a lesson from asking her directly if Longwei touched her, so she decided to change the question into something similar but less harmless.


    Hearing the cough sounds that was coming from the phone, Lady Chen waited for a while for Chen Lihua to respond.


    When Chen Lihua relaxed, she answered immediately, "No!, Don''t even think about it, I should have known that you won''t give up on this matter so easily".


    Lady Chen frowned a little, "So Longwei didn''t touch you at all?, I can''t believe this, you''re so beautiful and he didn''t even feel attracted to you, Is something wrong with him?".


    Chen Lihua would have choked again if she had something in her mouth, but she looked at Liu Longwei guiltily.


    Liu Longwei stared at her as well, so she moved her gaze elsewhere, ''I knew it, this woman will not let me rest, I really have to shut her mouth''.


    And with that, she looked at Liu Longwei while smiling and said, "Mother, I forgot to tell you that the phone is on loudspeaker, so Longwei heard everything you said. You need to see his face now, it''s so ugly and insightful, am sure his angry".


    On hearing that the phone was on loud speaker and that Liu Longwei heard everything she said and was now angry, Lady Chen terminated the call immediately.


    Tut tut tut. Hearing that sound, Chen Lihua laughed out loud and dropped her phone on the table and said, "I got you there, don''t mess with me".


    She said and laughed again from coming out victorious on the conversation she had with Lady Chen.


    Chen Lihua then smiled and looked at Liu Longwei who had longed forgotten his breakfast and was staring at her.


    Liu Longwei asked her, "What''s the call all about that you had to lie using my name, and why are you so happy?".


    Chen Lihua replied while gesturing with her hands, "You don''t have to be bothered about the contents of the conversation, you only have to know these words, Do not underestimate Lady Chen, even for a little bit".


    After giving out the warning, Chen Lihua happily continued with her breakfast. Liu Longwei looked at her for a while before he continued with his breakfast as well.


    After Lady Chen ended the call, she started pacing up and down the dining, because she just finished having her breakfast before she made the call.


    She knew she was in the wrong, so she started thinking if she should apologize or not, ''How can I apologize, am his elder and if I apologize now, where will I put my face in the future?, Maybe I should call Lihua and ask her to put in a good word for me, and then I don''t have to bend my head. No no, I bet Lihua won''t even listen to me now. Oh God!''.


    After exclaiming ''Oh God!" out loud, Lady Chen went up to her bedroom.


    The maids that were around and heard her all came out and watched her walk up the stairs in surprise, they began to ask one another if they knew what was wrong.


    It wasn''t untill Bultler Li came and chased them away. After chasing them away, he looked up the stairs where Lady Chen disappeared to and shook his heard before leaving while wondering why Lady Chen had been behaving weirdly since morning.


    In the bedroom, Lady Chen decided to pay a visit to Madam Liu and discuss with her on the next step of action to take.


    So she called her on phone and informed her of her visit. Madam Liu was surprised at the call, and asked to come over and she would be waiting for her.


    After hearing a reply, Lady Chen hung up and entered her walk-in closet to dress up.


    After a while, she came out all dressed up in a black pallazo trouser, a Light green top, and a light green matching heeled shoe and bag.


    She then sat on her dressing table to apply a light make up and to brush her hair. She applied a powder without a foundation, a light green eyeshadow, a dark red lipstick, and a black mascara.


    Next, she put on some jewelry including a pair of light green dangly earrings with a matching pendant and a black wrist watch.


    Satisfied with her look, she sprayed some perfume and put some important and necessary things inside her handbag including her phone, then she put her sunglasses inside her bag and walked out of her room and went downstairs.


    She instructed the chauffeur to drive her to the Liu residence.


    When Lady Chen came down the stairs, all the servants were amazed because they can''t ever get enough of looking at Lady Chen because the woman knew how to dress well, Infact, fashion is her calling.


    The servants continued looking at her untill she passed them by and entered the car. A bodyguard also followed and sat in the front passenger seat with the chauffeur while Lady Chen sat at the back alone, while looking as beautiful and elegant as ever.


    On the other hand, after having breakfast, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua went back to their room to complete their dressing.


    Chen Lihua went into the bathroom and rinsed her mouth with a mouth wash and Liu Longwei did the same as well.


    Chen Lihua didn''t apply any makeup or were any accessories, apart from her black wrist watch.


    When Liu Longwei saw her, he sent her back to the walk-in closet to apply a little makeup while giving the excuse that there was too much black on her body.


    Chen Lihua complied, instead of applying only a little makeup, she changed out of the black gown she was wearing and wore a white round neck, knee length gown and applied a dark chocolate lipstick, a black eyeshadow and a black eyeliner which made her eyes look smoky and sexy.


    She sprayed her favorite vanilla perfume and came out. Liu Longwei looked at her and smiled in satisfaction, "You look so beautiful".


    "Thank you". Chen Lihua smiled and replied.

 Chapter 64 - Chen Lihua felt so touched that she cried in Liu Longweis embrace.

    Still wearing her black heels, she sat on the bed while waiting for Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei wore his shoes and then he said to her, "You can go downstairs to wait for me, or you could still follow me to the study to pick up a few things and also familiarize yourself with it".


    "Oh". Chen Lihua said, but Liu Longwei didn''t understand what her answer was for, whether it was her agreeing to go downstairs to wait for him or following him to the study. In fact, he left the decision for her to make.


    He closed the curtains and switched off the AC and necessary switch in the bathroom and walk-in closet, then he said to Chen Lihua, "Let''s go", while pulling his suitcase behind him.


    Chen Lihua picked up her bag and followed behind him, after Chen Lihua went out from the door, Liu Longwei switched off the room light and came out after her.


    Thinking that Chen Lihua would go downstairs, he turned the other way and headed to the study, he turned to look back when he heard the clinking of heels behind him.


    He saw Chen Lihua following behind him, so he didn''t say anything and continued walking towards the study.


    In the study Chen Lihua looked around, and the study looked like a typical CEO''s office. While admiring the Study room, Liu Longwei busied himself by putting the well arranged documents and files he kept on one side of the worktable into his briefcase.


    After doing the little work, his gaze followed Chen Lihua and saw her sitting comfortably on the sofa while looking around.


    He smiled and said, "You Seem to like the study room, too bad I don''t have the time to accompany you. But you can still enter anytime you want since you''re my wife".


    After that, he winked and carried his suitcase. Chen Lihua said, "Who wants to be accompanied by you, you must have thought too much about it".


    Having finished talking, she followed after him as the left the study together.


    While walking downstairs, Liu Longwei said, "Wife, can''t you see that your husband is struggling, won''t you help me as you''re only carrying a handbag?".


    Chen Lihua paused in her steps and turned to look at him as she was walking the stairs ahead of him and Liu Longwei stopped in his steps as well with a smile on his face.


    He didn''t even look like someone that was struggling at all, in fact he was doing just fine.


    Chen Lihua glanced at his face before looking at his hands that was holding both the travel bag and suitcase, she felt that he was joking with her, so she said, "You''re strong already, and doing just fine by yourself. But if you insist that you are struggling to carry them, then I must say that you''re already old and weak, so which one do you want?"


    Liu Longwei''s gaze darkened then he said, "Of course am young and strong, who said that I can''t even carry this light things?".


    After saying that, he lifted the travel bag and the briefcase that was on the same hand up without struggling to prove that he wasn''t weak at all, and that he was in fact very healthy.


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "Good then, because I can''t have a weak husband by my side".


    After saying her piece, she turned around to continue going downstairs, but she didn''t move a muscle, she then opened her mouth to say, "Don''t call me Wife again, and in case you''ve already forgotten my name, I can help to refresh your memory because it''s not a trouble for me to do so, My name is Chen Lihua and you can call me Lihua".


    She turned to look at Liu Longwei who had a face of indifference and said, "Thank you", before turning to look ahead, and this time around, she went down the stairs leaving behind a dumbfounded Liu Longwei.


    Downstairs, Chen Lihua met Liu Longwei''s Asst, Asst Duyi who was already sitting and waiting patiently for his Boss.


    Hearing the clinking of high heels and looking up to see that it was Chen Lihua, he smiled and stood up to greet her.


    "Good morning Madam".


    Chen Lihua looked at him and walked to sit on the sofa totally ignoring him.


    Seeing as he was ignored, Liu Longwei that just came down saw it and sighed while Asst Duyi wondered how he had offended his Lady Boss again.


    Liu Longwei handed his bags to Asst Duyi while saying, "Go and keep the bags in the car, and there''s no need to come back again, just wait in the car for me".


    Asst Duyi took the bags from him and left. Liu Longwei walked to where Chen Lihua was sitting and sat beside her, "Lihua why are you angry, since I dressed up and saw you laying on the bed, your mood has been bad, so can you tell me the cause?".


    Chen Lihua ignored him, bit he still didn''t give up, "Are you angry at me, Tell more what I did so I would apologize".


    Chen Lihua then looked at him, "What do you think?".


    Liu Longwei sighed and apologized, "I don''t know what I did to offend you, but am sorry. I don''t like the way you are frowning. Am sorry OK?".


    Chen Lihua''s anger dissappeared without a trace as she felt touched by Liu Longwei''s apology as she felt that he was too good to her, "Why are you apologizing, you didn''t do anything wrong, I don''t even know why am throwing a tantrum, am sorry as well".


    Liu Longwei smiled amicably while touching her hair, "It''s ok, as far as you''re not angry anymore and besides you look more beautiful when you smile, so I have to work hard and keep that smile on your face".


    Chen Lihua''s eyes were already so teary that her tears were already threatening to fall. When Liu Longwei saw that she was about to cry, he hugged and said, "Don''t cry".


    The words he just said was useless because Chen Lihua immediately started crying while hugging him back.


    Liu Longwei was helpless as he could only pat her back gently why comforting her.


    Chen Lihua asked in low crying voice, "Why do you care if I smile or not, don''t tell me that you like me already?".


    Too bad Chen Lihua couldn''t see Liu Longwei''s face right now, because he was smiling.


    Then he said, "Of course I like you, if I didn''t like you, why would I care about you".


    By now, Chen Lihua had calmed down. Still in his embrace, she asked, "But we''ve not known each other well enough".


    "It doesn''t matter. What about you, do you like me?". Liu Longwei asked.

 Chapter 65 - He admires me, how?.

    Chen Lihua hurriedly pushed him away as she sits up and wiped her tears while immediately returning to her dignified composure.


    She immediately refutted him, "What are you talking about, if you continue waiting here, you will definitely miss your flight and I know you wouldn''t want that to happen".


    Liu Longwei smiled, "Let''s go". Then he got up while pulling her up as well.


    The two walked outside and saw an Audi A8 already parked outside.


    The bodyguards greeted them upon site and Asst Duyi that was already sitting in the driver''s seat came down.


    One of the bodyguards outside opened the back passenger door for Liu Longwei while Asst Duyi opened the other back passenger door for Chen Lihua.


    As Chen Lihua entered the car, she looked at Asst Duyi and said, "Thank you" before getting inside the car.


    Initially when Chen Lihua looked at Asst Duyi, he was scared and wondered her if he had offended her again, so he thought that she would admonish Him and so planned on how he would apologize.


    But he was shocked that Chen Lihua would thank him, even though she didn''t look at him for more than three seconds, he was already contented.


    So he smiled and said, "No problem Lady Boss". And after saying so, he closed the car door and went to the driver''s seat and sat and slowly ignited the car.


    Seeing that Liu Longwei has settled himself comfortable in the car, The bodyguard closed the door and settled himself in the front passenger seat.


    Chen Lihua looked at him from where she was sitting, but couldn''t make out his look as she didn''t pay attention to him.


    Liu Longwei noticed her staring and explained, "His name is Andy and he is my personal bodyguard, so he would be going on this trip with me".


    "Ok". Chen Lihua answered in understanding while the bodyguard turned to look at the back as he heard his name and nodded in greeting before turning to look at the surroundings through the Windshield.


    10 minutes after the car set off, Liu Longwei''s phone rang. He brought his phone out from his breast pocket and saw that the caller ID displayed ''Mum'', so he picked it up immediately as he thought that his mother was calling as he was traveling today.


    Immediately Lady Chen reached the gate of Liu family''s Villa, the gate Automatically opened for her as her Vehicle was already registered to the Liu residence and Madam Liu already informed them to immediately open the gates and notify her once she arrived.


    Lady Chen has been to the Liu residence a number of times, so even if Madam Liu didn''t tell them to open the gates, they would have opened the gates for her without any instructions, who wants to offend her? and besides, she was a very good friend to their Madam and also in-laws.


    So immediately Lady Chen''s car entered the residence, They security guards immediately put a call to the Villa to notify Madam Liu that Lady Chen has arrived.


    Immediately Madam Liu received the news, she hurriedly dropped the fashion magazine she was reading and headed outside in all smiles to personally welcome her.


    As she stepped outside, Lady Chen was already stepping out from the car. Madam Liu''s eyes lit up as she walked towards her and took her hands.


    "Ju Ju, you look just ok and look so beautiful as usual, which means that everything is OK because you sounded so anxious on the phone".


    Lady Chen allowed her to hold her hand as the two walked inside, "There''s no need to be so worried about me, nothing serious happened. Just be patient once we go in, I will explain everything to you".


    Madam Liu agreed and the Two walked inside and sat together on a two sitter sofa.


    Then Madam Liu asked her, "Did you have breakfast at all?".


    "Of course I did, if not I would be so worried that I won''t be able to stomach anything". Lady Chen replied.


    Lady Chen really looked worried as she remembered the purpose for her visit and so wasn''t in the mood to put on a smile.


    Madam Liu nodded in understanding and immediately ordered the house keeper to get a glass of freshly squeezed juice for her.


    Once the juice brought over and the house keeper left, Madam Liu gestured to Lady Chen with her hand, "Have a drink and then you can talk".


    Lady Chen looked at her and then at glass of juice before picking it up and taking a sip before putting the glass cup down.


    After taking a sip, Lady Chen cleared her throat softly and began to recount everything that happened, from the first time she called Chen Lihua that morning to the at their (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) breakfast table.


    After recounting, Lady Chen released a breath and said, I feel so free after letting out my inner turmoil.


    She then glanced at Madam Liu who was trying her best to hold in her laughter and asked in surprise, "What''s funny?".


    It was then that Madam Liu let out the laughter that she has been trying to hold in.


    Lady Chen kept looking at her and allowed her laugh for a while until she couldn''t take it anymore, so she pinched her lightly on the arm while asking, "What are you still laughing for, hurry up and think of a solution as I have offended my son-in-law, in fact your son, what will he think of me now, I think my image has been reduced to dust in his mind, Oh my God! what should I do now?".


    Lady Chen looked at Madam Liu and said again, "How can I let my carefully built image fall just fall like that all because of this good daughter of my mine?".


    Madam Liu felt that if she kept listening to Lady Chen, the latter will only keep on lamenting, so she consoled her and came up with a good advice.


    "Ju Ju you don''t really have to be bothered about my son, he has a good heart and won''t dear to get angry with you. You''re his elder, his mother in-law and also a woman he admires, so he won''t dare to take offense".


    Lady Chen looked surprised, so she verified, "He admires me, how?".


    Madam Liu explained calmly, "Your achievements alone in the business world says it all, who wouldn''t admire a beautiful and capable woman like you, even I admire you as well. Many people admire you as well, so there''s nothing surprising about it".


    Lady Chen asked again to make sure she didn''t hear wrong, "Is that so?".

 Chapter 66 - Liu Longwei exposes Chen Lihuas prank to Lady Chen.

    "Of course why would I lie to you". Madam Liu said.


    "Since that''s the case, that''s the more reason why I have to keep my reputation in check". After talking to herself, she said to Madam Liu, "Hurry up and call him (Liu Longwei), I want to apologize".


    Madam Liu looked at her in surprise, "I already told you that you don''t need to apologize because he wouldn''t take it to heart".


    Lady Chen refuted her immediately, "That won''t do. Hurry up and dial his number".


    "Why don''t you call him yourself, afterall you have his number". Madam Liu teased.


    Lady Chen was about to explode, "What if he doesn''t pick my calls, I can''t even imagine that. I have always been High and untouchable, I have always been respected, so imagine if he ignores my call, my pride will be trampled on, so stop delaying. Hurry up and call him".


    Madam Liu Bilu looked at her speechlessly before proceeding to make the call.


    Just on the first ring, the call was answered and a deep male voice was heard, "Good morning mum".


    Madam Liu answered immediately with a bit of composure, "Good morning, how are you doing?".


    Liu Longwei gave a reply, "Am good".


    "How is Lihua?, Hope you''re taking good care of her?". Madam Liu inquired.


    Liu Longwei looked at Chen Lihua and answered, "Yes, she is with me and we are already on the way to the Airport".


    Hearing that Chen Lihua was beside him, Madam Liu mouthed to Lady Chen that their children were together, and Lady Chen mouthed an OK and asked for her to hand the phone over.


    Madam Liu replied Liu Longwei with an "Ok" and then said, "Lady Chen wants to speak with you".


    Liu Longwei was surprised but didn''t ask what the reason was, so he said "Ok" and looked at Chen Lihua wanting to tell her about the matter, but was cut of by a familiar female voice.


    "Longwei it''s Lady Chen speaking, how are you?". Lady Chen asked trying to test the waters.


    Liu Longwei decided to explain to Chen Lihua later, so he proceeded to answer.


    "Good morning Lady Chen, am good, how is your health?".


    This was so unexpected for Chen Lihua hearing her mother''s name from Liu Longwei''s mouth.


    ''Is Liu Longwei speaking with my mother? I thought he was just speaking with his mother few seconds ago. If mother is speaking with right now, it means that she''s in the Liu Villa or Madam Liu went to the Chen''s Villa, but why?''.


    All these questions kept coming up in Chen Lihua''s mind.


    Hearing Liu Longwei''s relaxed tone, Lady Chen felt happy that her apology will go smoothly, so she started apologizing.


    "Longwei, am sorry for talking about you that way during breakfast, is just that I was so anxious to know if I would soon be able to hold a grandchild, I didn''t mean what I said earlier".


    Liu Longwei couldn''t understand what she was saying and why she was apologizing and he really wanted to know what would make her apologize.


    So he asked, "Lady Chen I don''t understand, why are you apologizing?".


    When Chen Lihua heard the contents of his words, she became shocked, ''Lady Chen is apologizing? but for what?''.


    It was at the last question that something downed on her, ''was Lady Chen apologizing because of the prank I played in her? Did she think that Liu Longwei heard her during the call?''.


    At this point, she didn''t know when she exclaimed, "OMG am finished!".


    After her exclaimation, she noticed three pairs of eyes staring at her. Liu Longwei glanced at her, the Bodyguard by the name Andy and who was sitting in the front passenger seat turned to look at her. Even Asst Duyi whose eyes were on the road glanced at her through the car''s rearview mirror before moving his eyes back on the road.


    Chen Lihua forced a smile and Liu Longwei moved the phone a little away from his ear before asking her in a low voice, "What happened?. But no matter how he tried to ask softly, it made it look like he was trying to seduce her with that deep voice of his.


    Chen Lihua smiled and said, "Nothing". While she kept thinking that she was totally finished and wondered what Lady Chen''s reaction will be if she found out that she disregarded her pride to apologize to a younger generation for nothing. She couldn''t even think any longer as she wondered what her punishment would be.


    "Did something happen?". Lady Chen asked worriedly.


    This question pulled Liu Longwei back to the call, "Nothing to worry about Lady Chen, you may continue, am all ears".


    Hearing his affirmation, Lady Chen relaxed and recounted the conversation she had with Chen Lihua while still apologizing saying that she didn''t mean to hurt his pride and that she was only anxious.


    Hearing the reason for her apology, Liu Longwei then understood what Chen Lihua said at the dining table because he heard her say that he just heard their conversation.


    Now he knew why Chen Lihua played the prank. So he looked at Chen Lihua and the latter looked at him as well with a question mark on her face, which said what?.


    Liu Longwei smiled and moved his sight to the road and answered Lady Chen, "Lady Chen you don''t need to apologize at all because I didn''t even hear your conversation with Lihua earlier because the phone wasn''t on loud speaker, but since you''ve already explained everything, then I can assure you that am not angry at all, and that Lihua and I agreed that we would only consumate our marriage after our church wedding".


    Liu Longwei''s words shocked many people when they heard him. The bodyguard shut his eyes while making himself invincible by not daring to breath out loud.


    Asst Duyi coughed violently untill his entire face and neck turned to a shade of red.


    Chen Lihua who was sitting beside him widened her eyes in shock.


    Since the phone was on loud speaker, Madam Liu also heard her son''s words, so she exchanged looks with Lady Chen before shifting on the sofa to find a comfortable position.


    Lady Chen was not left out as she lost her elegant demeanor and left her mouth agape.


    She regained her composure after a while, and with a smile on her face, she continued the conversation, "Since I''ve heard from you, then I don''t have to worry anymore. Just have a safe trip and take care of yourself as well"


    After receiving a positive reply, Lady Chen terminated the call and the fawning smile on her face was wiped out and was replaced with anger that she could not surpress anymore, so she erupted like a volcano.


    She stood up and paced around while saying angrily, "Chen Lihua dared to play a prank on me, a whole Lady Chen? What guts she has. I have to deal with these brat otherwise she would forget that I am her mother, and I also gave birth to her".

 Chapter 67 - Lady Chen retaliates.

    Madam Liu quickly tried to calm her down with these words, "Ju Ju calm down, Lihua is your daughter, and besides it''s a harmless prank. Just forget about it".


    Lady Chen sat back down and asked, "How can I calm down and forget about it just like that?, Am not a saint and I don''t think I will ever be happy if I don''t do something to retaliate".


    Madam Liu looked for a way out to distract her, since she couldn''t forget about the matter, "Let''s go for shopping and take lots of pictures and then you can post them. By then, you must have calmed down and forgotten the matter".


    Lady Chen stopped frowning, but that doesn''t mean she was smiling, she only said, "Alright, hurry up and go dress up".


    Madam Liu immediately smiled and stood up, "OK, just wait patiently for me, I will be out in few minutes".


    As she walked away, Lady Chen said to her with a raised voice so that the she (Madam Liu) could hear her very well, "Don''t dress like a grandma. In fact dress like me, we have to twin up today if not, we had better stay indoors and cause trouble".


    Madam Liu quickly replied with an "Ok" without pausing in her steps. But she underestimated her very good friend, Lady Chen.


    How could Lady Chen stay still?. So immediately Madam Liu left and she was alone, her mind began to wander and her hands began to itch.


    She kept thinking about the prank that she fell for and got angry, she couldn''t wait to retaliate.


    As she kept thinking of what to do, an idea suddenly came to her. Her facial expression changed and she suddenly smiled.


    If Chen Lihua saw they smile right now, she would have known that nothing good would come out from the smile, and at the same time regretted why she offended her (Lady Chen).


    But altogether, it was too late as the storm that has been brewing was about to rain water.


    Lady Chen opened her instagram page and posted a picture of Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei in a half frame, and in the other frame, she put a picture of two marriage certificates,and added the caption, ''Happy married life to my Hua''er and my son-in-law''.


    Immediately she posted that, people that eat, sleep and do things on the internet started replying with questions and answers.


    Person A: Congratulations to you Lady Chen.


    Person B: This is indeed a thing of joy.


    Person C: I just noticed that the clothes she (Chen Lihua) is wearing is this picture is the same with the one Lady Chen posted yesterday.


    Person D: Wow! This means that she got married yesterday.


    Person E: Lady Chen who is your son-in-law?, Can you at least post a picture that at least shows his face even if you don''t want to disclose his name?.


    It happened that the picture Lady Chen posted was the picture Madam Liu took with the camera at the service bureau.


    And in that picture, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s back was all that was seen as they were not aware because they backed the camera.


    At least, Lady Chen had a little rationality left when she chose that picture. If not, there would have been a big commotion in the Internet and in Couuntry C.


    But that particular picture made everybody curious as to who Lady Chen''s son-in-law was, and so some people kept asking her who he was, but Lady Chen didn''t answer such questions.


    Lady Chen had a habit of replying the first ten people to comment on her post, so that''s why some people slept on her timeline.


    She would sometimes reply randomly after replying to the first ten people.


    Another thing is that she would only reply to reasonable comments just like now.


    She answered Person A and person B with a "Thank you".


    Those who were close to Lady Chen commented as well.


    Person F: Lady Chen you didn''t even tell us that you were planning to marry your daughter out, this is not fair.


    Person G: It''s not fair as well because I planned on matchmaking our children, but who would have known that my thoughts would be caught off.


    Person H: Congratulations!, but you have to give us an explanation.


    Lady Chen really got a headache from looking at all those comments so she found a way to pacify them.


    Lady Chen dropped a comment, "I will definitely give an explanation".


    After that comment, she left her instagram page and sent and invitation to all her very close friends that were in the same City to meet by 4 pm at XX restaurant and the food and drinks was on her.


    She also reminded them to come with only their handbags.

 Chapter 68 - Who cares?.

    By the time Madam Liu came out, Lady Chen had already dropped her phone and there was a lingering smile left hanging on her face with showed her achievement.


    Madam Liu came out dressed in a black pallazo trouser, a sky Blue blouse, a sky blue shoe and sky blue matching jewelry.


    When she walked close to Lady Chen, she noticed the smile still lingering on the latter''s face and was surprised.


    She began to wonder what happened while she was away because Lady Chen was obviously in a bad mood when she left and how come she was already smiling within twenty minutes.


    (Madam Liu took twenty minutes to freshen up).


    Madam Liu felt that Lady Chen was weird because of the smile as she was not someone who would allow herself be at a loss. She knew that Lady Chen wouldn''t be smiling now without her causing trouble.


    So, she (Liu Bilu) made up her mind to ask her (Chen Ju Ju) the reason for the smile because of curiosity.


    "Ju Ju, I can tell you are happy so would you mind telling me the reason?". Madam Liu asked while sitting beside her.


    At this question, Lady Chen smiled more at the thought of having gotten her revenge. So she didn''t bother to conceal anything from her.


    "Of course am smiling because I''ve gotten my revenge and it taste so sweet. And now that I''ve settled the matter and my mind is calm, so why won''t I be happy".


    It seemed like Madam Liu became uneasy after listening to Lady Chen as she was not comfortable anymore. She wondered how Lady Chen got her revenge.


    "Ju Ju tell me, how did you get your revenge because you look so satisfied".


    Lady Chen raised her fingers and blew air with her mouth while answering carelessly, "It''s a long story, but the story can be cut short in one way".


    Saying that, Lady Chen looked at Madam Liu who was already dying of curiosity as she (Lady Chen) fluttered her eyelashes like butterflies.


    "Check your Instagram or Weibo for the latest update".


    Lady Chen said finishing off her explanation and crossed her legs and waited patiently to see Madam Liu''s reaction after seeing her post.


    Madam Liu immediately opened her Instagram and refreshed the page and then she saw Lady Chen''s post as the two followed each other and so will see each others post.


    Madam Liu saw Lady Chen''s post and the little write up that accompanied it, she didn''t know what to say again and what expression to show.


    She sighed and pitied Lady Chen''s enemies while wondering as she didn''t even let her daughter off, is it them that she would let off the hook?.


    Madam Liu really pitied Chen Lihua, so she asked Lady Chen, "Ju Ju don''t you think you went a little far with this matter?, Lihua won''t be happy if she sees this post".


    "Who cares? Well if you care, I don''t. And besides, this is exactly what I want. Lady Chen answered immediately.

 Chapter 69 - You have a billionaire Son, while am just a millionaire.

    Madam Liu answered, "Don''t you care about your daughter?, you know she dislikes being in the limelight, and now you''ve pushed her to it, she will now be bugged by the reporters, do you think she can handle it?".


    "What''s there that she can''t handle, she was an International model abroad and you''re thinking that she can''t handle those reporters? Is not that she can''t handle them, it''s just that she is too lazy to do it. And if she can''t handle it, then I will definitely deny her as my daughter". Lady Chen scoffed.


    Madam Liu sighed, "At least you should have asked for her opinion before uploading the picture. Now her days won''t be peaceful anymore".


    Lady Chen brought her leg down (she uncrossed her legs) and said angrily, "Did she ask for my opinion before making fun of me?. This is just a little lesson to tell her not to joke with me that way again".


    Madam Liu still tried to tell her to take it easy, "You have to take it easy on her, you know she not just your daughter, she is now my daughter-in-law, and I don''t want to see her stressed out".


    Lady Chen gave a slight smile, "I can see that Chen Lihua has another backbone. She just became your daughter-in-law yesterday and you are already pleading on her behalf, you seem to like her more than me".


    Madam Liu got a shock because of Lady Chen''s words, "What are you saying, I like Lihua a lot not just because she is my daughter-in-law, I like her because of her character and demeanor. I like you as well, and you are my friend".


    "Oh!". Lady Chen said obviously in disbelief.


    "Don''t tell me you are jealous?". Madam Liu teased her.


    "Jealous my feet, stop with those words already". Lady Chen said while smiling, obviously because she is in a good mood.


    She (Lady Chen) then told her about the invitation she sent out, then she told her, that she (Madam Liu) had to be there as well.


    Madam Liu nodded in agreement.


    "That''s good. Let''s go out to take nice pictures and shop to our heart content, it''s all on me". Lady Chen said and stood up.


    "Thank you my millionaire friend in advance, because I will never reject your offer". Madam Liu said in all smiles.


    Lady Chen sized up and said, "Why are you so happy to spend my money, you have a billionaire son, while am just a millionaire".


    "What''s your problem now, you already said that the bill is on you, so what should my reaction be? Shouldn''t I be happy instead of being sad?". Madam Liu retorted.


    Lady Chen was agape for a while before she sat back down on the sofa refusing to go out anymore.


    "Am not going anymore, I don''t want to waste my money anymore".


    Madam Liu Bilu thought that she had just heard the biggest joke of her life as she heard Lady Chen''s words.

 Chapter 70 - What did I do wrong?.

    She immediately pulled Lady Chen up from the sofa while saying, "You''ve already said it, so I won''t even allow you to go back on your words. Hurry up and stand up so we won''t be late".


    She said the last sentence while pulling Lady Chen up from the sofa.


    Lady Chen allowed herself to be pulled up while looking at Madam Liu in bewilderment. ''What does she mean by, so we won''t be late? It is already obvious that she shamelessly wants to spend my money''.


    Madam Liu half-pulled and half-dragged Lady Chen as she went outside.


    When the two women reached the entrance, they began to argue on Whoose car to use as Lady Chen refused the idea of them going out in two different cars.


    Lady Chen won the argument as she said that she would drop Madam Liu off after their meeting with their friends and she (Madam Liu) wouldn''t need to waste her the gas in her car.


    Madam Liu just agreed with her as she didn''t have the stamina to continue arguing with her, as that was what Lady Chen was very good at.


    So Madam Liu marched off to Lady Chen''s car and sat at the back passenger seat and Lady Chen immediately followed and sat at the back passenger seat as well.


    Then she (Lady Chen) told her driver Mr P to drive off.


    As their car reached the gate, Lady Chen looked through the rearview mirror and saw another car following them.


    She was able to see the car as she was sitting directly behind the driver.


    She asked Madam Liu who was sitting beside her, "I already told you that I would send you back, so why is your car following us?".


    Madam Liu explained, "It''s for more security. Their are two bodyguards in that car, so they are useful, and they will follow us around".


    Lady Chen relaxed comfortably while saying softly, but to Madam Liu''s hearing, "I don''t even Know why you are troubling yourself".


    Madam Liu sighed softly before leaning on the seat without saying anything.


    Back in the Audi A8, Chen Lihua was staring daggers at Liu Longwei. She was beyond angry. If her eyes were able to release bullets, she would have shot Liu Longwei to death a long time ago.


    Liu Longwei smiled and said to her, "Why are you looking at me like that, what did I do wrong?".


    Instead of answering, Chen Lihua hissed and turned her face to look ahead.


    Liu Longwei opened his mouth to say, "You shouldn''t be angry at me, it''s not my fault. You should have told me about your conversation with Lady Chen, or if you didn''t want to tell me about your conversation, you should have at least notified me in case Lady Chen inquires about it".


    Chen Lihua sighed heavily after Liu Longwei''s speech. She then turned to look at him tiredly, "Am sorry for getting angry at you, I shouldn''t have as it''s not your fault. I should have told you ahead of time, it''s just that I didn''t expect Lady Chen to call and apologize".


    Liu Longwei smiled, then he stretched his hand to rub her hair smoothly, "It''s okay".


    Chen Lihua shook her head, "No it''s not okay, I know my mother very well. She will do something to retaliate".


    Liu Longwei pulled his hand away from Chen Lihua''s head and asked in surprise, "Why would she do that, it''s just a little prank played on her by her own daughter and that prank wouldn''t hurt her".

 Chapter 71 - Lady Chen and Chen Lihuas clothing preference.

    Chen Lihua shook her head, "You won''t understand till you are in my shoes. I will only advice you not to provoke her because she''s not to be underestimated".


    "So what will you do now?". Liu Longwei asked concernedly.


    "I have to wait and see what she will do. I just know that she won''t harm me". Chen Lihua answered.


    Liu Longwei said, "Since she won''t harm you, then I won''t interfere".


    Chen Lihua smiled, "You don''t need to take it serious because this is the way Lady Chen and I roll. It''s like a game between us. It''s just that my mother has pride and what I did to her felt like an insult to her, so that''s why she won''t take it".


    Liu Longwei nodded, "Don''t go to far with your pranks next time. You should know what she dislikes, so you should avoid it. I won''t be around for a month to plead on your behalf".


    Chen Lihua looked at him in surprise, "You seem to care a lot about my mother, huh?".


    "Of course, she''s my mother-in-law and I admire her as well. You are not different from your her, you too look and behave alike". Liu Longwei nodded and replied.


    Chen Lihua smiled even more now and explained, "You are right about us looking alike and behaving alike. Many people have said it as well. Some called is twins. But the thing is that we are born in the same month and date. Our fashion sense is different as well. I like gowns a lot that you won''t see any Skirt in my closet. But my mother likes skirts, trousers, shirts and blouses. She only wears gown during an occasion or when she feels like".


    Liu Longwei nodded to show that he was paying attention.


    After talking about their clothing preferences, Chen Lihua asked him to change his style of dressing, she also said that his style was boring.


    Liu Longwei was surprised as the speed at which Chen Lihua changed topics.


    They were just talking about her and Lady Chen''s dress preference, how did he become her center of attention. In fact, what''s the connection?


    Liu Longwei was really amazed, but he had to defend himself, so he said that black and white makes he look cool.


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "Does that mean that no other color makes you look cool other than black and white?".


    Liu Longwei was speechless, but he had to say something, "You can say it that way".


    Chen Lihua disagreed with him immediately, "That won''t do, you need to change and get rid of most of those black and white clothes and fill your wardrobe with other colors, there are still suitable colors that will suit you".


    "If that''s the case, I will agree on two conditions". Liu Longwei tried coming to terms with Chen Lihua.


    Liu Longwei said and waited for her approval, and Chen Lihua nodded in response, so he continued to list his conditions.


    "One, you have to buy them yourself, and two you have to buy and wear skirts for me to see".

 Chapter 72 - Thats the best bet.

    "You must be joking". Chen Lihua answered immediately. "I can wear skirts for you to see, but as for buying clothes for you with my money, you must be dreaming".


    "But there''s nothing wrong in buying clothes for your husband with your money". Liu Longwei said to refute her words.


    Chen Lihua didn''t take it lying down either, "There''s something wrong with it, especially when the husband is so rich and still shamelessly wants his wife to spend the little money she has on him".


    "How can you have little money?, that''s not possible". Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua said, "It doesn''t matter to you, if you don''t want to give me money for your clothes, then forget it".


    Liu Longwei smiled, "That''s good then because I have clothes already".


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "Are you not ashamed that you wear a particular color if clothes and accessories everyday?, don''t ever get tire of it?, Am just wondering how many people have been making fun of you behind your back, don''t you mind?"


    Liu Longwei defended himself immediately, "I don''t get tired of it, and am not ashamed of anything. Even if people make fun of me, I don''t care as well, after all, I''ve been dressing that way for years, even if they don''t like it, they can''t do anything about it".


    Chen Lihua shook her head in disapproval, "That won''t do, you have to change your style of dressing. Am your wife now, where do you want me to put my face when people talk about your clothes?"


    Liu Longwei teased her, "put your face on my shoulder, that''s the best bet".


    Chen Lihua was already fuming mad by now. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine you win, I will buy you clothes with my money, but you must wear them".


    "No problem I will wear them. The public will go crazy once the notice the change in my style of dressing. And if the reporters ask me about it, I will definitely say that you''re behind it". Liu Longwei replied.


    The reason Liu Longwei mentioned about the reporters was to threaten Chen Lihua so that if she had any plans on playing pranks on him by buying him clothes with weird color and he tells the reporters that she was the one behind it, then her reputation in fashion will be ruined and he knows that Chen Lihua wouldn''t want that.


    Chen Lihua clearly got the hidden message Liu Longwei said to her, and she was really planning on playing pranks on him with the clothes but now, Liu Longwei has already spoilt her plans.


    And so, she has no choice but to buy good and well fitted clothes for him. And as he is a public figure, he shouldn''t dress stupidly, or he would be insulted.


    People would say that with all the money he has, he still couldn''t buy good clothes for himself.


    Now Chen Lihua has no choice than to close her eyes and buy clothes for him with her hard earned money.


    So she answered him, "No problem, I will definitely take credit for my hard work".


    Liu Longwei nodded and changed topic.


    "If you are lonely and find it difficult to stay in the house, you can go ahead and stay with your mother or my mother, you can stay anywhere you want since I won''t be back to a month''s time".

 Chapter 73 - Sending Liu Longwei off to the Airport.

    Chen Lihua nodded in response and Liu Longwei continued talking to her.


    "If you have anything to ask me or anything you want to know during the period am away, feel free to contact me".


    "Oh!". Chen Lihua answered this time around. Hearing her response, Liu Longwei smiled and stopped bothering her.


    Moments later, They arrived at the airport. They four of them came down from the car and walked into the airport.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei walked ahead with Asst Duyi and the bodyguard trailing behind them with luggages in their hands.


    Asst Duyi''s hands were full from the two travel luggages he pulled behind him, which belonged to him and Liu Longwei. While the bodyguard''s hands were also full.


    He carried a work briefcase which belonged to Liu Longwei on his left hand while pulling a small travel bag that belonged to him on his right hand.


    Like that, they four of them entered the Airport. As it wasn''t yet time for Liu Longwei''s flight, they sat down and waited.


    While waiting, Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua if she wanted to eat anything, but the latter gave a negative response.


    Liu Longwei began to remind her again, "Don''t forget, if you need anything, let me know immediately. You can contact me at anytime except during bedtime, only then can you send me an SMS".


    At this point, Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, "You are worrying too much. It''s not like I don''t have sense to know when to ask for things or help".


    "I just want you to be comfortable and it''s good that you''ve heard me". Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua complained, "You really know how to nag like Lady Chen, it''s old age coming after you this early?".


    Liu Longwei refused to get angry when she said something about his age again. He chose to ignore that part and only responded to the first part of her speech.


    "Am nagging because it''s my first time having a wife, so I don''t know what to do and that''s why I have to try to care for you, make you happy and comfortable. I don''t want to neglect you".


    Chen Lihua now had a smile plastered on her face, "So that explains it?. Well am happy that you care for me and want to make me happy. Now, I won''t let your efforts go in vain".


    Liu Longwei nodded and smiled. He nodded in understanding and smiled because Chen Lihua acknowledged his efforts.


    Chen Lihua made a puppy face and shifted a little closer to him, while requesting for something unbelievable to Liu Longwei.


    "Since you''ve already granted me permission to request anything from you, can you fufill this little request of mine?".


    Seeing that puppy look on her face, Liu Longwei stopped smiling because he knows that she was about to request for something he wouldn''t agree to.


    You really need to see the speed at which Liu Longwei stopped smiling once he saw the look on Chen Lihua''s face.


    Having stopped smiling and had a premonition of the nature of the thing Chen Lihua was about to request from him, he still went ahead to ask her what she wanted.


    At first he wanted to ask her to say what she wanted and would only approve of it if he didn''t mind it, but he changed his mind since he had already promised to fulfill her request.

 Chapter 74 - She threw a naughty question at him.

    So he said, "Go ahead, am all ears you know".


    Chen Lihua smiled even more and shamelessly said instead of requesting, "I want to have my own bedroom".


    As expected, Liu Longwei frowned a little and asked, "Why do you want a separate bedroom, do you dislike staying in the same room as me?".


    Chen Lihua withdrew her puppy face and said in all seriousness, "I didn''t say that. I only want a seperate bedroom as am not used to staying with someone or Sharing a bedroom, and besides, the walk-in-closet in your bedroom won''t contain my clothes as I plan on buying more clothes, shoes, bags, etc".


    Liu Longwei immediately refuted her words, "I won''t allow that. We are newlyweds and have to share the same bedroom and as you said that you are not used to sharing a room with someone, you can start now to get used to it. And I''ll be away for a month, so don''t you think your request is unnecessary?".


    Chen Lihua asked she knew he wouldn''t agree to it, but she still insisted, "What about the clothes, shoes, bags and accessories I want to buy, where should I keep them?".


    Liu Longwei mulled over Chen Lihua''s concern and answered after a while, "You can choose another room upstairs".


    Chen Lihua gave a smile of victory, but Liu Longwei interrupted immediately, "Don''t be happy to early, you can choose to smile if you want after listening to my words".


    Chen Lihua withdrew her smile and Liu Longwei continued, "The room will be in your name only, we would still share the same bedroom. So you can enjoy your room for the time being if you want, but everything ends once am back".


    Chen Lihua sighed, but agreed as she couldn''t push him as she didn''t know his limit.


    If Chen Lihua insisted on what she wanted, Liu Longwei would have agreed, and this is what she didn''t know.


    Since Chen Lihua accepted his proposal, she didn''t argue with him, and instead, threw a naughty question at him.


    "Do you really want to share the same bedroom with me that much?".


    Liu Longwei didn''t deny it either, he accepted it and even added an explanation, "Yes. Are couples supposed to have different bedrooms from their spouse, especially newly married couples?".


    "If you ask me, I won''t hide this from you. To me, we are not married, I will only agree that we are married if our wedding is officiated by a priest".


    Liu Longwei was already exhausted from hearing Chen Lihua say talk about the difference between their registered marriage and their upcoming church wedding all over again.


    He somehow understood Chen Lihua, it''s just that he didn''t know that her love for their white wedding was at this level.


    So, he looked at her for a while before making a big compromise, "You can have your own bedroom till we have our church wedding, and after the church wedding, you have to move back to my bedroom, Do you agree?".


    Of course she would agree, how can Chen Lihua late this opportunity slip through her fingers, that was impossible. Chen Lihua was so elated that she even hugged him.


    She released him after displaying her happiness. She behaved as if she had been set free from a century old bondage.


    She immediately thanked him happily, "I know you understand me so well, thank you".

 Chapter 75 - A mischievous goodbye kiss and a wedding gift from Liu Longwei.

    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in approval.


    Asst Duyi heard trouble hearing the discussions that went on between his Boss and Lady Boss, and he didn''t even dare to listen properly.


    The bodyguard on the other hand heard all their discussions even if he didn''t want to as it wasn''t his fault for having a pair of good listening ears.


    Even though Asst Duyi and the bodyguard sat a few seats away from the couple, Asst Duyi almost didn''t hear the words the exchanged, but the bodyguard heard them. And this was the difference between between them (Asst Duyi and the bodyguard). One was just an assistant, while the other was a trained personal from the millitary.


    As Asst Duyi had already handled all the formalities, Liu Longwei was only waiting for the announcement to tell the boarders to start boarding the plane.


    Chen Lihua initially planned to disappear once Liu Longwei completed the formalities, but she had a change of plans. She didn''t feel bored as she had little talks with Liu Longwei, so that''s the reason she changed her plans to continue waiting untill Liu Longwei boarded the plane.


    As Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were having a pleasant discussion between themselves, a message was announced to tell the travelers to start boarding the plane.


    They four (Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei, Asst Duyi and the bodyguard) stood up immediately they heard the announcement.


    As they walked a little distance close to the security check, Liu Longwei stopped and the others stopped as well.


    Asst Duyi and the bodyguard stood a little distance away from the couple to give them a little privacy.


    "Will you miss me?". Liu Longwei questioned almost immediately they came to a hault.


    Chen Lihua was surprised with the question, she blinked surpringly and asked, "Am I supposed to miss you?".


    Liu Longwei smiled amicably and said, "Answer my question and stop trying to invade it".


    Chen Lihua stared at him for a while before answering truthfully, "I will miss you".


    Liu Longwei smiled happily and patted Chen Lihua''s hair lightly before calling Asst Duyi over.


    When Asst Duyi came close to them, he said to Liu Longwei, "Boss?".


    Without turning his head to look at him, Liu Longwei stretched out his hand out and demanded, "The car key".


    Asst Duyi obediently handed the key over without saying a word and left their side gently.


    Having received the key, Liu Longwei gently lifted Chen Lihua''s right hand with his other free hand. Next, he put the key on her palms and closed it.


    Chen Lihua asked curiously, "What''s it for?".


    Liu Longwei smiled and answered with two words, "Wedding gift".


    Chen Lihua smiled but rejected it while trying to give the key back to him, "I like the car, but I can''t accept it as I already have a car".


    How can Liu Longwei accept the key, he continued holding Chen Lihua''s hand and explained, "I''ve already planned to give it to you the day I agreed to marry you. Today is my first time of driving the car since I bought it, and it''s with you. I know you like the car so much, so accept it and there''s nothing bad in having two cars".


    Hearing his explanation and his insistance on giving the car to her, she smiled and accepted the car key while saying, "Thank you".


    Seeing that she had finally accepted the key, Liu Longwei smiled and released his grip and said, "No need".


    As Chen Lihua watched the three (Liu Longwei, Asst Duyi and the bodyguard) go through the security check, she turned around to walk away.


    She hasn''t taken five steps when she was suddenly pulled and her body turned and fell into a warm embrace.


    Next, she felt a warm sensation on her lips before she realized that she was being kissed.

 Chapter 76 - Who are you calling Madam?

    She hasn''t taken five steps when she was suddenly pulled and her body turned and fell into a warm embrace.


    Next, she felt a warm sensation on her lips before she realized that she was being kissed.


    Liu Longwei kissed her lightly before pulling away quickly.


    Chen Lihua was still in shock when Liu Longwei walked away while saying this words, "Be sure to miss me now that I have kissed you as a reminder".


    When Chen Lihua recovered, the three people (Liu Longwei, Asst Duyi and the bodyguard) we''re no longer on sight.


    As she glanced at her surroundings, she found all eyes on her. Chen Lihua felt so ashamed that she rushed out of the Airport immediately.


    She got into the car and calmed down for a while, while at the same time wondering what was wrong with Liu Longwei.


    ''What the hell is wrong with this guy? How could he do this kind of act in public?. Am just hoping that no photography was taken otherwise, I will kill him when he comes back''.


    Chen Lihua disagreed with the last statement, ''No no, I can''t wait till he comes back. I must have calmed down by then, and it will be too late, So I must deal with him before he comes back, even if I have to do it through the phone''.


    After finding the solution to the future possible problem, Chen Lihua drove the AUDI A8 back to Liu Longwei''s Villa, at the same time enjoying her ride.


    On her way back to Liu Longwei''s Villa, she saw a car following her. Since she has been reprimanded many times to be observant by Liu Longwei, she decided to put the lectures to good use and that was how she discovered the car following her by looking through the rearview mirror from time to time.


    As she watched the car follow her bomba to bomba, she got annoyed. So, she drove for a while till she found a good place to park her car.


    After parking the car, she didn''t go out immediately. Instead, she stayed in the car for few seconds until the car that has been following her parked behind her car.


    The car didn''t park directly behind her car. The car parked a little away from hers.


    Seeing that the car has parked smoothly behind, Chen Lihua came down from the car and walked towards that car.


    The people in the car watched anxiously as she walked towards them while leaving a sound from her clinking heels.


    Having walked to the driver''s side of the car, Chen Lihua knocked on the window.


    The driver had no choice than to wind down the car window. After doing that, the driver came face to face with Chen Lihua''s non smiling face.


    Chen Lihua kept quiet and looked at the driver and the passenger sitting in the front passenger seat as she checked them out.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua wasn''t saying anything and instead staring daggers at them, they became apprehensive.


    The driver had to explain or something not good will happen, so he opened his mouth to call out to Chen Lihua saying, "Good morning Madam".


    Chen Lihua stared at the driver and said slowly, "Who are you calling Madam, Is it me?". Chen Lihua said pointing at herself before turning to look at her back and at the same time pointing at a random woman walking along the road, "Or is she the one?".

 Chapter 77 - It seems like Madam had eaten a jar of veniger.

    The driver and the other person sitting in the front passenger seat but looked towards the direction Chen Lihua was pointing at.


    Having satisfied their curiosity, they didn''t know how to answer her.


    No matter how they answered her, it will be seen to the public as them disrespecting their Mistress. If the answer her, it be seen that they don''t have respect and were talking back to their Mistress.


    So the best conduct and tactics to this matter was to keep quiet.


    Seeing that they weren''t answering her and didn''t plan on answering her any time soon, she changed the question.


    "Who is your Boss?" Chen Lihua questioned.


    This time around, they answered her as they felt that the current question was much easier than the one she first threw at them.


    So the person in the driver seat answered her immediately, "Boss Liu".


    Chen Lihua frowned and asked annoyingly, "Didn''t you go to highschool? I asked you who you Boss is and you said Boss Liu. Is Boss Liu the full answer to my question? Don''t you know how to give a satisfactory answer?".


    The two people in the car were overwhelmed with Chen Lihua''s series of questions and they felt bad but couldn''t do anything, they could only blame themselves for not explaining it well enough.


    The person in the front passenger seat answered her in other not create problems for themselves.


    "Madam our Boss is the first young Master of the Liu family, the CEO of the Liu group and your husband Boss Liu Longwei".


    Anybody that heard how this guy just described Liu Longwei will feel new high level of respect for him (Liu Longwei) for all the titles that accompanied his name.


    Chen Lihua was the only exception. Instead of feeling admiration or proud of her husband, instead, she felt that this guy that just described Liu Longwei in this manner was a very big fool.


    The guy was feeling proud of his Boss and thought that their Madam, Chen Lihua would be amazed and won''t get angry at them with the way he spoke.


    But what he didn''t know was that his manner of speech would increase the level of anger Chen Lihua had accumulated from Liu Longwei and the Two.


    Chen Lihua said to the hearing of the two, "I didn''t know Liu Longwei had a fool amongst his people. There is no need for me to waste my breath on you".


    Seeing the manner at which Chen Lihua answered him and the arrows in her words, the guy at front passenger seat stopped smiling and didn''t dare to say anything and breath out loud.


    Totally ignoring him now, Chen Lihua faced the driver and the latter became slightly afraid of offending her.


    "Who are you people to him and why were you following me?".


    The driver answered immediately and professionaly, "Replying to Madam, we are his bodyguards and we''ve been assigned to ensure your safety by protecting you closely".


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, "Are you from the Qin dynasty?, can''t you answer my questions directly without saying ''Replying to madam''?.


    Looking at the faces of the two bodyguards, Chen Lihua felt a little pity on them for venting the anger she had on Liu Longwei on them, so she softened her stance.


    "Since you two are your jobs, I won''t waste any more of my time on you, carry on with your job then".


    After speaking, Chen Lihua walked away quickly without giving them a chance to speak.


    The two bodyguards just watched her walk away and breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that Chen Lihua had a eaten a jar of veniger.

 Chapter 78 - Chen Lihua discovers Lady Chens post.

    They also felt happy that she (Chen Lihua) had left, otherwise it would have been more awkward to them if they were sitting in the car while their Madam was standing outside and talking to them.


    With Chen Lihua''s behavior today, they felt that their days have been numbered and from today onwards, their life were in her hands.


    They two bodyguards sat in the car and watched Chen Lihua walk away and enter her car. They waited for a while for any movement, so they would follow suit, but what they were waiting for didn''t happen, so they could only watch and wait for a bit.


    Chen Lihua opened the door to her newly gifted Audi A8, sat on the driver''s seat and closed the door.


    She took a deep breath and after that, she felt she was a bit harsh to the bodyguards and felt a bit bad for venting her anger on the wrong people.


    While relaxing in her car, she picked up her phone and loged in to her facebook account, she spent a few minutes on it without finding anything interesting, so she loged into her instagram account.


    Immediately she loged in, she partially saw Lady Chen''s post, but before she could look properly, the post disappeared as other posts from other people people came up.


    As Lady Chen''s post was still blurry at the time Chen Lihua saw it, but that didn''t mean that she didn''t have an idea of what she saw.


    To Chen Lihua at the moment, it was as if there was a war going on in her head, she could only wish out loud that what she saw was not what was on the post, and that her eye sight and thinking we''re detoriating.


    She would rather believe that that her eye sight and brain were weak now due to stress than believe what she thinks she saw.


    ''OMG! tell me this is a joke. Tell me that my eyes are deceiving me''. Chen Lihua said to herself.


    To prove her current thoughts (her eyes were deceiving her) are correct, she searched for Lady Chen''s user name on the search icon in other to view all post.


    When Lady Chen''s name appeared, she clicked on it and waited for it load. As it opened, lo and behold, Chen Lihua felt that she was seeing double and robbed her eyes in other to see clearly, she even regretted not coming out with her medicated glasses.


    But all these couldn''t stop the truth from coming to light.


    Chen Lihua saw that Lady Chen''s latest post was this morning, it was a picture of her and Liu Longwei with their backs facing the camera.


    She was shocked for a while and sighed in relief after she recovered.


    But it was still too early for her to sigh in relief because she made a mistake in clicking on the comment icon below the picture.


    Live and direct, she saw the message the last person to comment made, ''Wow Lady Chen congratulations. I wanted to see your daughters beautiful face again, but it''s not a harm as I can always see her face from your last post''.


    At this moment, Chen Lihua forgot how to breathe. She kept asking herself what did this person me by last post, did mother reveal my face?''.


    As Chen Lihua has been in the car for a while without winding down the cars'' windows or putting on the AC, she began to loose her breath, so she wind down the car''s two front windows to stabilize her breath.


    When the bodyguards saw the movement from the car after a while, they finally relaxed a bit and continued waiting for Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 79 - A special way of calming her temper.

    Chen Lihua exclaimed lightly, "It''s finished, everything is over".


    What Chen Lihua meant by everything was over is how hard she worked to be low profile, but her mother, Lady Chen in a moment of fury didn''t leave any leeway for her.


    She didn''t know what to do at the moment, she was absolutely devastated, and as troubled as ever.


    She kept thinking of how her current peaceful life will be troubled and invaded by the paparazzi from that day onwards.


    Chen Lihua sighed and observed the pictures one after the other and found out that Lady Chen posted a picture of her which revealed her identity yesterday.


    From the picture, she was able to find out that Lady Chen took the picture of her when she was relaxing and when they were on their way to obtain her marriage certificate.


    With this, Chen Lihua was able to come to a conclusion that Lady Chen already revealed her identity yesterday and then exposed her marriage this morning.


    She didn''t know what to do at the moment, she was momentarily speechless. She thought that it was a blessing that she didn''t reveal Liu Longwei''s face in her post. Otherwise, she wouldn''t know what the Current news would be.


    She was somewhat relieved that her mother didn''t reveal Liu Longwei''s identity. But in another moment, she was gritting her teeth in anger.


    Her not revealing Liu Longwei''s identity didn''t mean that her life would be peaceful. She felt that her mother was intruding into her privacy and trying to anger her to death.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t help but start to think what Lady Chen had in mind when she revealed this piece of news. She had this thought, ''Lady Chen must have been happy after she succeeded in ruining my efforts''.


    Chen Lihua decided then and there to call Lady Chen and ask her for an explanation. Otherwise, she won''t be at peace even for another second.


    So Chen Lihua dialed Lady Chen''s phone number. The phone rang for a while but the call wasn''t picked up.


    Chen Lihua''s face was another shade of red due to anger, "Lady Chen must be joking with me, am sure she''s ignoring my calls on purpose".


    Being very determined to hear an explanation from her, Chen Lihua dialed Lady Chen''s phone number again, and this time around the call was answered after it rang for a while.


    Immediately the call was answered and without even saying her greetings to her mother, she started to interrogate Lady Chen.


    "Mum I''ve seen the good news you shared on your instagram page, how about you explain it to me because, I believe I deserve an explanation as I am the subject of discussion".


    Without making it difficult for her by not getting to the main point, Lady Chen smiled and gave her the address to a tea house and told her to meet there in 30 minutes.


    Seeing that there was still time and the distance from where she was to the tea house was a ten minutes drive, and she didn''t want to be that early, she made a detour to an Ice-cream and confectionery store to cool her temper off.


    When she reached the store, she parked her car at the parking lot. She came down from her car and walked to the direction of the bodyguards who came down from the car on seeing her walk towards them.


    They came out to meet her as they didn''t want to make the same mistake of sitting in the car while she (Chen Lihua) stood and talked to them.


    Having walked a distance close enough to them, she told them to go into the ice-cream and confectionery shop with her.


    Who were they to disobey her orders?. So they quickly followed behind her as she entered the shop.

 Chapter 80 - "Am sorry for spacing out while admiring you".

    Chen Lihua found a good place to sit and told the bodyguards to find a comfortable place to sit as well.


    Because of giving her a personal space as they knew she was angry, they sat a table away from her.


    They place they sat was very convenient for them to see and protect her in time.


    Seeing new customers, a waiter walked to Chen Lihua to take her order.


    When the waitress got close to Chen Lihua, she covered her mouth in shock because she was not expecting to see someone who was difficult to see.


    Almost everybody in City B is following Lady Chen in the internet, so they are all aware of the latest news.


    So the waitress was shocked to see the person who has just been a topic of discussion among Lady Chen''s fans in the shop.


    She couldn''t help but giggle to herself and admire Chen Lihua''s beauty.


    Chen Lihua had her chin in her hands as she balanced her elbows on the table for four. So when the waitress giggled, she immediately raised her chin up to look at her while placing her ten fingers close to the table''s edge.


    Even the bodyguards looked between the waitress and Chen Lihua to know what was wrong.


    So, Chen Lihua looked at the young waitress who was not that younger than her and asked, "What''s wrong".


    The waitress looked at Chen Lihua in adoration. So when she heard Chen Lihua''s question, she answered immediately and without thinking, "You''re beautiful".


    Hearing her answer, Chen Lihua''s earlier anger dissappeared by half. So she smiled fully and answered her, "Thank you".


    The waitress nodded sheepishly hearing Chen Lihua''s response.


    The shop was not crowded. So most of the people there were relaxing as the sun was coming up as it was almost 11: AM. They people in the shop looked over and saw Chen Lihua sitting with a smile on her face. They smile that could enchant people.


    They actually recognized Chen Lihua and so they could only look over and smile from time to time.


    Most people recognized Chen Lihua as Lady Chen''s daughter and not as the International model ''Lily''. Only those that have knowledge of or into modelling would know her.


    Because Chen Lihua was free of Scandals, so not many people would knew her unless they saw her in a show or receiving awards.


    They people couldn''t go over to meet her as they found it rude, so they could only admire her and nod in greeting from their seats.


    They bodyguards relaxed slightly as their was nothing wrong about a young girl admiring their Mistress. But they continued to look out for anybody that would come close to her.


    They felt that almost everybody in the store has been notified of Chen Lihua''s beauty because they saw many people looking at her and smiling. Hence, they became more alert.


    After politely nodding in greeting to the people, Chen Lihua faced the waitress with her earlier dazzling smile and said, "Am ready to order now".


    The waiter was embarrassed as she was found staring so intensely at her, so she lowered her head and smiled bashfully. Now raising her head with a smile, she apologized.


    "Am sorry for spacing out while admiring you". The waitress apologized while handing the Menu over to Chen Lihua carefully".


    "That''s OK". Chen Lihua said as she took the menu from her.

 Chapter 81 - Chen Lihua had a dreamy expression on, as she savoured the taste of the ice-cream.

    Chen Lihua glanced through the menu and felt dizzy from looking at the different flavors of ice-cream and pastries.


    So she gave the menu back to the waitress and spoke quickly, "There are so many varieties on the menu and I don''t have time to look at it, so I will have the smallest plate of vanilla flavored ice-cream and a cut of sweet chocolate cake. I don''t want stone cold ice-cream or melted ice-cream, I just want something inbetween the two".


    Seeing the waitress still looking at her in admiration while nodding her head, Chen Lihua became concerned as she felt that she spoke quickly and didn''t know if the girl (waitress) heard what she said, so she asked, "Sorry I spoke quickly, but did you get me?".


    The girl answered quickly while nodding, "Yes I heard you. Anything else?".


    "Yes, tell those men over there to order what they want". Chen Lihua said pointing towards where the two bodyguards were sitting.


    "Ok". The waitress said and walked to the bodyguards, and reluctant to leave Chen Lihua''s side.


    The waitress gave the menu to the bodyguards and relayed the message from Chen Lihua.


    They bodyguards were happy and ordered what they wanted before giving the menu back to the waitress.


    They waitress went away to get their orders ready. They bodyguards looked at Chen Lihua to thank her, but Chen Lihua wasn''t looking at them as her attention was glued to her phone.


    So they didn''t bother with the greetings anymore.


    3 minutes later, the waitress came back with their order. She served Chen Lihua first before serving the bodyguards.


    Once what she requested for was in front of her, Chen Lihua her phone away quickly and digged in.


    As she took a spoon of the Vanilla flavored ice-cream, she had a dreamy expression on her face. She really liked the taste.


    She took another spoonful before having a piece of the sweetened chocolate cake. She really enjoyed what she what she was eating.


    Half way through her enjoyment, she remembered that she hasn''t posted for a month now on her page, so she took a picture of the half eaten Chocolate cake and Vanilla ice-cream in front of her and posted it with this write up ''This is what am having right now and it really calms my mind''.


    After posting, she kept her phone on the table and focused on finishing the deserts in front of her.


    Chen Lihua wiped the plates clean without batting an eye. She then relaxed comfortably.


    The same waitress that served Chen Lihua came back to take away the plates. As she picked up the plates on Chen Lihua''s table, Chen Lihua said to her, "Get me the POS, I want to make the payment".


    The waitress nodded with a smile. After clearing their plates, she went away and came back later with the POS.


    Chen Lihua brought her ATM card out and made the payment. After making the payments, she asked the waitress, "Which flavored ice-cream do you think is more tasty and which pastry goes well with it?".


    The waitress opened her mouth and explained happily, "It''s the peach and apple flavored ice-cream mixed together. For the pastry, meat pie will go well with it".

 Chapter 82 - Chen Lihua helps the waitress catch her breath.

    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding and smiled as she answered, "OK then, I will order for the two".


    Chen Lihua made another payment for the set. The waitress smiled and left to get her order.


    After the waitress left, Chen Lihua put her ATM card into her bag and then picked up her bag in one hand and her phone in the other hand before leaving the ice-cream shop.


    Seeing her leaving, the bodyguards followed her out immediately.Outside the ice-cream shop and close to the car park, the bodyguards thanked Chen Lihua for buying deserts for them.


    "Madam thank you for today". They both thanked her with all sincerity. With the way Chen Lihua responded to them earlier, when she caught them following her, they thought that she was haughty, and so they didn''t have a good impression of her even though they were sent to protect her. But after Chen Lihua allowed them to follow her into the desert shop, and bought deserts for them, they impression they had of her before changed for the better.


    Chen Lihua was oblivious to the impression they had of her. She bought deserts for them because they humans and the deserve to eat. She felt that it was not a good method to neglect those under her or serving her, and it wouldn''t kill her to do buy food for them.


    They least or highest thing it would remove from her was money, and there was no need to be stingy because she had money.


    So hearing them thank her, Chen Lihua reponded with a smile, "It''s not a big deal, but you''re welcome".


    They bodyguards were indeed grateful, and to show their gratitude, they bodyguards stood at a side and watched Chen Lihua get into the car.


    Chen Lihua unlocked her car with the remote. And as She opened her car door to get inside, she had a voice shouting, "Miss please wait you forgot your order!".


    As she had the voice, Chen Lihua turned around to see a young girl running towards her with bag containing the takeouts.


    When the waitress got close to her, she (waitress) panted for breath. As she was still panting, she said to Chen Lihua while stammering, "Mi....ss y... ou".


    At this point, Chen Lihua caught her off and said kindly, "Slow down and catch your breath first, and then you can speak after that, do you understand?".


    This time around, the waitress did not say anything, but she nodded in understanding.


    Seeing her still breathing hard, Chen Lihua pitied her and thought her to calm her breath. Seeing that she was bending, Chen Lihua said to her, "first, stand erect, Secondly, follow my motion".


    The waitress did as she was instructed. She first stood erect before watching Chen Lihua''s motion. As Chen instructed, she also demonstrated and the waitress followed her motion as well.


    "Breathe in, breath out. Breathe in, in, in, an then out".Chen Lihua and the young waitress did this for 30 seconds before the girl''s breath stabilized completely.


    After catching her breath, the waitress smiled embarrassingly, "Thank you miss. You forgot your order, here it is". The waitress said handing the takeouts to Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 83 - Chen Lihua a Goddess to the young waitress.

    Chen Lihua looked at the girl''s hands and then focused her gaze on her face. Then she smiled again and said three simple words, "It''s for you".


    The waitress was dumbstruck because she was surprised. When Chen Lihua asked her about the ice-cream and the pastry that went well with it, she answered wholeheartedly as she wanted to recommend the best deserts to Chen Lihua.


    And now Chen Lihua told her that the deserts was for her, so why wouldn''t she be shocked.


    So the waitress stood there with her mouth agape.


    Chen Lihua even waved her hand in front of the girl''s face, but the girl wouldn''t react. So Chen Lihua smiled and took that opportunity to leave.


    They bodyguards at the side stood there and watched all these things happen. They wondered if it was because of the deserts that the young waitress got shocked.


    Although they didn''t react this way when Chen Lihua bought deserts for them. But that was because they were matured and trained bodyguards, and so couldn''t react that way.


    When they saw Chen Lihua get into her car, they hurriedly entered their car as well, ready to follow her.


    They waitress really lost herself, as she only reacted when she heard the sound of the Audi A8''s smooth engine. It was then that she came back to her senses and hurried towards the driver''s side of the car.


    Chen Lihua still had a smile on her face as she wind down her side of the car''s window seeing the waitress standing there.


    Immediately the car window rolled down, the waitress appreciated  Chen Lihua''s kindness.


    "Thank you miss for buying deserts for me".


    Chen Lihua replied softly, "You deserve it, you can eat it during your break".


    Before driving away, Chen Lihua adviced her on her health, "I suggest you do more exercises that will be good for your heart, e.g, jogging, short runs, squats etc. You''re still a young girl and shouldn''t have shortness of breath from a small run, so start the exercises soon".


    And with that, Chen Lihua drove away, and they bodyguards car followed her as well.


    They waitress stood at the car park until she couldn''t see Chen Lihua''s car anymore. Then she went back inside the shop with all smiles.


    When her collegues saw her come back with the takeaway after she had been gone for 5 minutes, they asked what happened.


    Without hiding anything, the waitress happily explained everything that happened and also told them that Chen Lihua bought the deserts for her.


    Her coworkers became became envious of her. One of them even commented, "You''re lucky today. And I think Miss Chen asked you for your recommendations so that she could buy what you liked for you".


    The young waitress was puzzled and the suddenly came to a realization, "OMG! Miss Chen is really nice. I can''t believe that she asked me about this so she could buy them for me".


    Another female coworker said with envy, "Of course, she was indirectly asking you what you liked so she could buy them for you. It''s just that you were too foolish to understand".


    The young waitress was too shocked at this revelation. She was overjoyed as she didn''t expect Chen Lihua to treat her well. She felt that Chen Lihua really knew how to care for and surprise people.


    The young waitress felt truly lucky to have encountered Chen Lihua today, as she believed that her life would be blissful from that the day onwards.


    And from today onwards, the waitress took Chen Lihua as the only Goddess in her life, that she became a fan and truly remained loyal and supported her till the end.


    Looking at the takeouts in her hands, the young waitress really wanted to take pictures of the food and reveal on the internet that The legendary daughter of Country C''s Lady Chen bought deserts for her. But after pondering on the matter for a while, she abandoned the thoughts as nobody would believe her.


    And as she didn''t take a picture with Chen Lihua to show as evidence, she completely abadoned that idea, so she said to herself, ''Even if nobody believes me, but as far am concerned, I don''t care''.


    So during lunch, the young waitress posted a picture of herself eating the deserts and shared it on her Moments/Instagram with these accompanying write up.


    ''Am really enjoying these deserts that my Goddess bought  for me on our first meeting''.

 Chapter 84 - Now you know how to smile without spilling your grievances.

    Chen Lihua kept following the instructions in the car''s GPS system until she got to the location of the  Tea house.


    Checking the time on her wristwatch, she saw that it was 2 minutes to the appointed time, so she hurried out of the car as she didn''t want to be late.


    This is one of Chen Lihua''s good points, she tries to keep to time no matter what. But if she can''t make it at the scheduled time, she would notify you immediately.


    Chen Lihua felt that she was late already, so she entered the tea house immediately after telling the bodyguards to wait in the car for her.


    Inside the tea house, Chen Lihua inquired about Lady Chen and the room she booked, and she was told by the manager that Lady Chen just entered the tea house a minute ago.


    Then the manager directed her to the room Lady Chen was in. Chen Lihua smiled in appreciation and thanked the manager before hurrying off to find the room.


    Having found the room, Chen Lihua took a deep breath to extinguish the nervousness she felt. She was really scared that Lady Chen would scold her for keeping her waiting. So that''s why Chen Lihua wanted to prepare herself in advance.


    After calming herself enough, Chen Lihua pushed the wooden door gently and saw Lady Chen and Madam Liu sitting together with smiles on their faces.


    Chen Lihua stared at them for  three seconds  before looking at her wristwatch to check the time. Seeing that she was right on time, Chen Lihua let out a breath of relief.


    After letting out a breath of relief, Chen Lihua naturally put on a smile and greeted her mother and mother-in-law before apologizing.


    "Hello Mummy" Chen Lihua greeted Lady Chen before greeting her mother-in-law, "Hello Mum", Am sorry for coming late.


    Lady Chen accepted her apology, "No need to apologize, we just got here, you can sit down".


    After sitting, she noticed that Madam Liu was looking at her and smiling happily.


    Chen Lihua found it weird as she felt that Madam Liu was about to drill a hole on her forehead with the stare. So she had no choice than to ask.


    With a gentle smile on her face, Chen Lihua asked, "Mum is something on my face, you''ve been staring at me for a while now".


    Madam Liu laughed embarrassingly, "Nothing"


    "What do you mean by nothing?". Lady Chen asked Madam Liu before explaining to Chen Lihua. "Don''t mind her, the reason  your mother-in-law is looking at you happily is because you called her Mum".


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding.


    As those words left her mouth, Lady Chen hissed in pain as she was suddenly pinched on the laps by Madam Liu.


    Madam Liu gave a harmless smile as she said to Chen Lihua, "Don''t mind your mother, she''s joking".


    Then she turned to Lady Chen and asked, "Your joking right?".


    Lady Chen rolled her eyes at her, and then she immediately received another pinch on the same spot. Lady Chen managed to endure the pain without hissing before she forced a smile and said to Chen Lihua, "Yes yes, I was joking".


    Lady Chen''s forced smile mixed with the pain she was enduring was not good to look at, as her face was twisted.


    It would have been good if she didn''t bother to smile. But now she smiled, tsk tsk...


    Even Chen Lihua was trying to hold her laughter in because if she dared to laugh, she would be skined alive by Lady Chen.


    Inside, Chen Lihua felt happy. ''Serves you right mother. Now you know how to smile without   spilling your grievances. Am sure you didn''t know you would have a   day like this''.


    After having these thoughts, laughter was trying to escape from her mouth, and she was trying so hard not to laugh out loud that her face turned beet red.


    Then she looked at Lady Chen who was staring daggers at her, as if she would be killed the next minute laughter escaped from her lips.


    Chen Lihua looked away in fright and then released a series of cough to mask the laugh.


    Seeing her suffering so much, Madam Liu Bilu slapped Lady Chen''s arm gently while saying, "Ju Ju what do you think you''re doing, can''t you see that Lihua is suffering so much that her face has turned as red as ripe tomatoes".

 Chapter 85 - Mother and daughter settles their differences.

    Lady Chen then stopped looking at Chen Lihua.


    A waiter knocked on the door and introduced himself as a waiter, so he was granted permission to enter by Lady Chen.


    After entering, he greeted them and asked them they type of tea they would like to order. Lady Chen ordered first, "I would have Chamomile tea".


    Madam Liu ordered second, "I would have Rose tea".


    Seeing that the Elders had finished ordering, Chen Lihua decided to place her order, "I would have peppermint tea".


    "No!". Lady Chen said Madam Liu loudly said in unison.


    Chen Lihua was looking at them obviously confused  as she didn''t know the reason for their sudden disagreement. But she had to find out anyways, so she asked.


    "Peppermint tea is a nice tea, it''s beneficial to reduce stress and anxiety, and it also treats insomnia, so what''s wrong with my order?".


    Lady Chen sent the waiter away after telling him to get lemon balm tea for Chen Lihua before answering the latter.


    "Although peppermint tea is an aromatic tea that reduces stress and releases you from anxiety, it''s also has a side effect".


    Then Lady Chen took a deep breath before continuing, "Peppermint tea is not good for pregnant women as it causes miscarriage".


    Chen Lihua felt like fainting when she heard her mother talk about pregnancy. She felt so lucky that the waiter wasn''t in the room right now, otherwise she wouldn''t know where to put her face as she would be too embarrassed at that time.


    So, Chen Lihua bowed her head and said in a low voice, "But am not pregnant, How can you talk about pregnancy when we didn''t even do anything".


    The '' we''   Chen Lihua was referring to was she (Chen Lihua) and Liu Longwei.


    Madam Liu and Lady Chen exchanged glances immediately, then they focused their gaze on Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua was forced into a corner by their gaze, so she lowered her head to avoid their gaze.


    Madam Liu then opened her mouth and said with a smile, "That''s not a problem at all as you two barely know each other well enough to get into bed immediately. So, take your time".


    Chen Lihua lowered her head more in embarrassment.


    Lady Chen was the only clear minded person out the three at the moment, as she felt that the topic had deviated from the original track.


    So she said, "Am not saying that you''re pregnant. Even though you''re not pregnant, you shouldn''t take this tea to avoid future trouble".


    Chen Lihua raised her head immediately, "Mum!, am not planning to have kids immediately so, the tea won''t affect me. And besides, the tea only affects pregnant women not those that aren''t pregnant. It won''t be harmful to my health if I take it once in a while".


    Lady Chen was almost fuming mad now, "I just finished advicing you and you''re still telling me that you will take the tea once in a while?. Are you sure you''re OK?".


    Madam Liu saw that the situation was about to get out of hand, so she said to Chen Lihua, "Lihua you have to listen to your mother as she cares a lot about you. There are other nerve calming teas you can take instead of peppermint tea. But if you like peppermint tea so much....".


    Madam Liu took a pause as she looked at Lady Chen who was staring at her as if, if she said something contrary, she would remove her eyeballs from her eye sockets.


    So, she looked at Chen Lihua and  hurriedly changed her speech, "You can enjoy it as much as you want after giving birth. The lemon balm tea your mother ordered for you is really nice, you should try it and see".


    After listening to her mother-in-law, she found out that both women (including her mother) cared a lot about her, so she put on a smile and said in agreement, "Since you care so much about me, I will definitely listen to your advice".


    Chen Lihua said looking at both women who were sitting opposite and directly facing her.


    Madam Liu smiled hearing that she had agreed, while Lady Chen threw her face to another angle and said in jealousy, "I can''t even be proud that I have a daughter. I just adviced and she refused to listen. But once her mother-in-law adviced her, she agreed immediately without refuting".


    Madam Liu smiled proudly before saying to her, "Hasn''t Lihua already agreed  that she won''t drink the peppermint tea, Why are you bickering, can''t you be happy for once".

 Chapter 86 - Are you seeing what am seeing?.

    Lady Chen scoffed and ignored them while pretending as if they didn''t exist.


    Madam Liu sighed and said to Chen Lihua, "This is the reason I followed her when she told me you two were going to meet, as I was scared that she would fuss about and ruin the atmosphere. Now seeing her behave like this, I feel that I really made a good decision by following her here".


    Lady Chen faced her immediately and said with a slight smile on her face, "what are you saying?".


    As the waiter walked along the corridors with their order, he kept wondering what was wrong with the three women as they had all ordered different types of calming tea.


    He was wondering if a fight was about to break out or if they had fought outside already and then came to drink calming tea in order to keep their temper in check.


    While those thoughts were going through his mind, he arrived at their room door. He knocked three times on the door before entering, after receiving approval.


    He set three pots of tea and three tea cups on the table, in front of them, according to what each of them ordered before leaving after not receiving further instructions from them.


    The three women poured their teas into their cups and took sips after sips without saying anything for a while.


    It was as if they were in sync with each other and knew they were supposed to enjoy the tea and also let the tea do it''s work before approaching the main topic of the day.


    Two minutes went by before Chen Lihua broke the silence after she felt that the timing was right.


    So she looked at Lady Chen and said calmly, "Mum, I know you didn''t like the prank I played on you, and am sorry for it. But I want you to know that I didn''t mean any harm by it. I played the prank to tease you, but I didn''t expect you to take the prank serious to warrant you exposing my identity online and which you know that it''s the last thing I ever wanted, so why did you still do it?".


    Chen Lihua''s method of approaching the topic was the best. She first started by acknowledging that what she did was wrong. Next, she apologized before asking Lady Chen the reason for exposing their relationship.


    Now, with the way she approached the subject, Lady Chen won''t have any reason to flare up in anger.


    Lady Chen refilled her tea cup with tea before drinking from it as she listened to her daughter talk with a calm demeanor.


    So when Chen Lihua posed the question to her, she placed her teacup on the saucer gently before answering her calmly.


    "You can take it that I did it on a whim. I was too annoyed to care about the consequences. The only thing on my mind was to deal with you".


    Chen Lihua frowned as she didn''t find the explanation funny at all. So she inquired more on what she was most concerned about.


    "Since you said so, I will try to understand it that way. But could you please explain to me how I offended you yesterday for you to post my picture and reveal that I was your daughter? Because as far as am concerned, I offeneded you this morning, and I have indeed seen the result".


    Lady Chen''s facial expression changed at Chen Lihua''s question, as she (Lady Chen) was no longer calm.


    Chen Lihua watched her intently so as not to miss any form of change on her face and body.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was looking at her so intently, Lady Chen''s facial expression changed quickly. She was no longer panicking, instead she shocked Chen Lihua and Madam Liu.


    Lady Chen started sniffing, and from that, two drops of tears rolled down her cheeks. And only God knew how she did that so suddenly, and without warning.


    This really took Chen Lihua and Madam Liu by surprise as they stared at Lady Chen before looking at each other in shock as if to ask each other, '' Are you seeing what am seeing?''.


    When Lady Chen saw that their attention was not on her, but was on each other, she started sniffing louder before secretly pinching Madam Liu under the table, signalling her to lend over a helping hand.

 Chapter 87 - Mother and daughter settles their differences 2.

    Madam Liu got her signal and changed sides immediately.


    She put on a worried look on her face as she patted Lady Chen on the shoulder gently, "Ju Ju, what''s wrong, why are you crying?".


    More tears flowed down Lady Chen''s cheeks when she heard Madam Liu Bilu''s question. And she opened her mouth to answer while stammering, "Ha...ve you se...en a mo..o..ther that that...ttt".


    Seeing that she was choking on her words and stammering, Madam Liu gave Lady Chen a thumbs up in her head while saying to herself,  ''what a good actress''.


    Chen Lihua who was directly facing them had a look of astonishment on her face as she watched her mother cry and choke on herself.


    She began to ask herself, ''What''s wrong with this woman?, I just asked her a simple question and streams of tears started to roll down her cheeks?, Since when did she easily become emotional?''.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu were too immersed in their acting that they didn''t even bother to care or guess Chen Lihua''s thoughts and opinions on the current matter.


    After praising Lady Chen in her head, Madam Liu continued to console her while offering her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Ju Ju calm down, and wipe your tears before you resume your explanation".


    Lady Chen accepted the handkerchief from her and used it to dab her tears from the corner of her eyes and cheeks while sniffing.


    While sniffing and dabbing her tears, Lady Chen glanced at Chen Lihua from the corners of her eye and saw the latter staring so intently at her as if waiting for a good show.


    Lady Chen squeezed the handkerchief in her hands and muttered under her breath, "Evil child!".


    As if she didn''t see or say anything, Lady Chen recollected her gaze and transffered it to Madam Liu and asked pitifully, "Bilu, have you seen a mother that doesn''t even have the right to tell and show her child to the world?".


    Madam Liu shook her head with a pitiful look on her face, "I''ve never seen or heard of it".


    "You see, even your mother-in-law has never seen or heard of such". Lady Chen said looking at Chen Lihua, before turning to look at Madam Liu, "But am that type of mother, probably the only one who can''t show her child to the world".


    Madam Liu shook her head again in pity as she continued to listen to lady Chen.


    "I am proud to be a mother of such a well accomplished and successful daughter, but I can''t even boast about it". Lady Chen said as she pointed at Chen Lihua who was still looking at intently.


    Then looking at Madam Liu again, she said with a sad tone, "My heart already has a crack everytime am being questioned about my daughter by the reporters. They would always ask me about my daughter and her health as they have never seen her before, and everytime I would answer, ''She''s fine, thank you''. I felt as if I was childless everytime I saw a mother and her daughter together in public or pictures, laughing, and joking. While am not able to do any of that simply because my daughter doesn''t want to be in the limelight".


    Lady Chen scoffed and said with a raised voice as she looked at Chen Lihua, "What kind of a stupid reason is that?".


    Chen Lihua didn''t say a word as she was being scolded by her mother.


    The reason Chen Lihua didn''t say a word was because as she listened to her mother express her pain of not being able to show her off to the world, she felt pity and sympathy for her.


    She felt that she was the cause of her mother''s pain and anguish. So that was why when Lady Chen played her compassion trick, she didn''t expose her because she wanted to listen to her till the end before taking action.


    And now that she had listened to her mother till the end, Chen Lihua didn''t know what to do.


    Madam Liu who was listening to Lady Chen, felt a headache coming when she heard the latter''s outburst, so she patted Lady Chen gently on the  shoulder to calm her down.


    Lady Chen continued staring at Chen Lihua with a hint of sadness and loneliness in her eyes as she waited for the latter''s response.


    After struggling with herself for a while, Chen Lihua made up her mind. She raised her head to face her mother before saying slowly and loud enough to their hearing.


    "Mum am sorry for causing you troubles and pain unknowingly, forgive me. From today onwards, you''re free to tag me in your posts, post my pictures, and make a comment about me publicly".


    Honestly, Lady Chen and Madam Liu weren''t expecting this as they had a look of surprise on their faces.

 Chapter 88 - Ju Ju are you that happy?.

    Lady Chen couldn''t believe what she just heard. She dabbed her tears completely with the handkerchief and asked Chen Lihua, "Can you repeat what you just said, just for confirmation?".


    Chen Lihua knew her mother was shocked by her sudden approval, so she put on a smile on her face and repeated what she just said, "Mum I said from today onwards, you can tell the world about our relationship and also show me off".


    This time around, Lady Chen heard her clearly, so she chuckled softly before laughing loudly out of happiness.


    She even returned the handkerchief to Madam Liu as she laughed, "Take it, I don''t need it anymore, my daughter has come to terms with me on this matter".


    Madam Liu looked at the handkerchief now in her possession and shook her head in helplessness. She looked at Lady Chen who was laughing without reserve and didn''t know what to do again.


    She smiled and asked Lady Chen, "Ju Ju, are you that happy?".


    Lady Chen who has been smiling happily since she received the good news even winked at Madam Liu as she answered her, "Of course am happy, you don''t know if you can understand the joy in my heart now, it''s overflowing like a river". Lady Chen said expressing her happiness by moving her hands as she talked.


    "Although I can''t look into your heart to see your joy, but I can tell how happy you are, just from the look in your face". Madam Liu said.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know that her agreement could cause her mother to be this happy that she abandoned her image and was now laughing unladylike.


    Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Chen Lihua''s face which displayed her dimples.


    Looking from the side and seeing the mother and daughter duo with their similar smiling face, and with their dimples on display, Madam Liu felt that this scene was lovely, so she suggested that the two should take a picture together with their smiling faces.


    "Ju Ju you and Lihua look so pretty with your dimples, it would be good to take pictures together".


    "Yes that would be great". Lady Chen agreed immediately as she clasped her hands together.


    Then she looked at Chen Lihua and beckoned on her, "Lihua come over to my side so we could take beautiful photos together".


    Chen Lihua disagreed immediately as she frowned a little, "Mum we can''t, your eyes are already red from crying, so it would ruin the pictures".


    "What!!! My eyes are red?". Lady Chen said not believing a word, so She asked Madam Liu for confirmation.


    "Bilu take a look at my eyes, are they red?".


    Madam Liu looked at Lady Chen''s eyes attentively before saying worriedly, "Your eyes are really red, but not that red like strawberries and I think it''s because of those tears you released".


    "Oh My God!". Lady Chen said taking a portable mirror from her bag to check her bad her eyes were.


    Looking at her eyes in the mirror, Lady Chen saw that her eyes had turned red, so she closed the mirror and put it back into her bag, looking dejectedly.


    Chen Lihua was secretly glad in her heart as she has nothing to worry about now that Lady Chen couldn''t take pictures with her.


    But her happiness was cut short because Lady Chen made an interesting suggestion.


    "It''s still possible for us to take pictures together with smiles on our faces.


    Instead of taking the pictures with our eyes opened, we will do that with our eyes closed". Lady Chen said with a smile.


    "Yes yes, that''s a good suggestion. Nobody would even know what happened to your eyes, they would think it''s the concept". Madam Liu said.


    Who is Lady Chen, she is someone who can come up with ways for things to work if the situation is difficult.

 Chapter 89 - Then you have to give Momma a big smile.

    "Now come over". Lady Chen streched her hand towards Chen Lihua as she beckoned on the latter to come to her side.


    Chen Lihua lowered her head to drink her tea as she pretended she didn''t see or hear anything.


    Seeing that she was being ignored, Lady Chen said as she came over and sat beside Chen Lihua.


    "You can pretend as if you didn''t hear what I said as much as you want, but we must take pictures together whether you like it or not".


    And with that, Lady Chen clicked on the camera icon on her phone. Seeing that it opened, she tapped Chen Lihua on the shoulder and said, "lean on me, close your eyes and give momma a big smile".


    Chen Lihua sighed and did as she was told. When Lady Chen saw that she has gotten into position, She passed her phone to Madam Liu, so she could help them snap a few pictures.


    After passing her phone to Madam Liu, Lady Chen quickly got into position.


    ''Chakam''. That was the sound which signified that the picture has been taken.


    "Let me see". Lady Chen said as she grabbed her phone from Madam Liu''s hands with a smile on her face.


    When Lady Chen saw the picture, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She then focused her gaze on Chen Lihua.


    "Hua''er I only asked you to smile, was it that difficult for you to do?". Lady Chen asked as she showed the picture to her.


    Without taking the phone from her mother''s hands, Chen Lihua peered into the phone to look at the picture and also to see what was wrong.


    As she looked at the picture, she saw that she looked horrible in the picture, she looked as if she was being forced to smile.


    Thinking that Chen Lihua had seen enough, Lady Chen snatched her phone back as she asked while frowning, "I asked you to smile and not to keep your face like someone who is being tortured and forced to smile at the same time. What I asked you to do was so simple, but you couldn''t even do it. Learn to get into character whenever you''re required to".


    Chen Lihua sighed as she answered, "Mum am not an actress like you who could change your facial expression to match any situation".


    "What are you saying, quickly get into character". Lady Chen said.


    Chen Lihua frowned a little as she said to Lady Chen, "Mum I can''t force myself to smile OK?".


    Lady Chen retorted immediately, "There''s nothing OK about it. If you don''t smile, I will tickle your waist". Lady Chen said the last sentence with a smug smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua had a terrified expression on her face immediately she digested Lady Chen''s words.


    Chen Lihua really looked frightened because of being tickled as she is very sensitive to it, and so she is always afraid of it.


    "Mum please don''t do that to me. Remember am your only child, and so you can''t bully me". Chen Lihua pleaded.


    "Then you have to give Momma a big smile. Also remember am your mother as well". Lady Chen said with a victory smile as she passed her phone to Madam Liu for the second time.


    Watching the mother and daughter duo banter and argue with each other, Madam Liu smiled and really wished she could see her daughters soon because, the scene in front of her really made her miss her daughters and they way she bantered with them.

 Chapter 90 - What else did you two do, did you two kiss?.

    Coming out from her thoughts, Madam Liu told them to pose for the pictures.


    Then Lady Chen and Chen Lihua got into position. Lady Chen displayed her dimples as she smiled while closing her eyes. On the other hand, Chen Lihua closed her eyes and leaned on Lady Chen''s shoulder with a slight smile on her face.


    Madam Liu couldn''t bear to click on the snap icon as she looked at Chen Lihua because, Chen Lihua was not giving off the feeling of being happy. So Madam Liu teased her.


    "Lihua you have to practice your smile now otherwise, how would you keep your face whenever Longwei kisses you, would you frown at that time?".


    These words really worked because as soon as Chen Lihua heard them, she blushed till her cheeks turned crimson. Even her dimples that showed were too deep, and her eyes were even threatening to open when Madam Liu snapped the picture.


    When Chen Lihua heard Madam Liu''s words, she thought of how Liu Longwei kissed her at the Airport this morning and blushed till her cheeks turned crimson. She nearly giggled if not for how hard she worked in keeping it in, she would have been exposed a long time ago.


    Once their picture was taken, Chen Lihua quickly seperated from her mother and lowered her head as she sipped her tea while hiding her flushed face.


    Lady Chen took her phone from Madam Liu to look at the pictures. She smiled in satisfaction as she looked at the pictures, so she turned to Chen Lihua and said, "Lihua.... ".


    But the rest of the words flew back into her mouth as she saw Chen Lihua''s flushed face.


    She paused for a while as she wondered what was wrong with her daughter. Thinking for a while, Lady Chen smiled as she has discovered the reason.


    So she signaled Madam Liu to take a look at Chen Lihua with her eyes.


    Madam Liu got the message and looked at Chen Lihua. And truly, she saw her flushed cheeks. So she exchanged glances with Lady Chen and the Two women gave a knowing smile.


    Sorry for Chen Lihua who was still in deep thought as she didn''t know that she has already become a target for teasing by the two women in the same room with her.


    Winking at each other, Madam Liu took the lead as she asked with a smile, "Lihua why are your cheeks flushed, do you have a fever or.....are you blushing?".


    When Chen Lihua heard her name, she raised her head to meet Madam Liu''s gentle gaze.


    What gentle gaze? Chen Lihua mistook the teasing gaze for a gentle gaze. Tsk tsk, to bad for our dear young lady.


    When Chen Lihua heard this question, ''why are your cheeks flushed?'', she unconsciously moved her hands to pat her cheeks.


    And then she heard the next question, ''Do you have a fever or....?''. The long drag after the or really sent Chen Lihua''s heart flying right out of her chest as she knew the next question wasn''t anything good.


    And true to her thoughts, she heard the no good question, ''Are you blushing?''.


    Chen Lihua was as embarrassed as ever, so she couldn''t help blushing even more.


    Seeing that the situation was very good and favourable, the two women exchanged a meaningful glance, and then Lady Chen took over.


    Trust Lady Chen, she wouldn''t let Chen Lihua go Scot free as she has found a once in a lifetime opportunity to tease her.


    Sure enough, Lady Chen''s first question came. "Lihua you are blushing non-stop, and we have found you guilty, so out with it. Tell us what you''re hiding from us?".


    Chen Lihua would rather starve than tell these women what happened between her and Liu Longwei. So Chen Lihua shook her head as she refused to answer her mother.


    The two women didn''t get angry with Chen Lihua for not answering them, instead the smiled more and felt that things were really going their way.


    Lady Chen pinched Chen Lihua gently on the cheek as she asked, "Tell us, since you did not sleep with Longwei, what else did you two do?, Did you two kiss?".


    Madam Liu gave a thumbs up as she approved of Lady Chen''s question because she really wanted to hear Chen Lihua''s answer.

 Chapter 91 - Lady Chen and Madam Liu teased Chen Lihua till she stood up to leave.

    "Mum you''re too much, how can you ask me this kind of question?". Chen Lihua frowned.


    Madam Liu smiled more as she said, "Lihua, there''s no need to be shy about it. Your mother and I are experienced in that aspect.


    And I just want to know so that I can advice Longwei well enough".


    Chen Lihua pouted a little to look at her mother-in-law, and then she glanced at her mother as if to see if they were deceiving her.


    She gave up as she couldn''t tell a thing from their facial expressions, so she answered them quickly, "Well we kissed".


    Hearing the expected answer, the two women giggled like children and gave each other a high five.


    As she looked at the way they two women behaved after hearing her response, Chen Lihua felt so ashamed that she felt like disappearing immediately.


    At this point, Madam Liu spoke confidently, "I knew that there was nothing wrong with my son. But I didn''t expect him to already pounce on Chen Lihua, someone he just met".


    Lady Chen laughed as she answered, "There''s nothing wrong with that after all, they are husband and wife. So whether they are familiar or not, it''s their business".


    Madam Liu sighed softly as she said, "Whatever they do is their business. But my son has really surprised me as I can''t believe he would be so fast when taking action".


    After saying that they two women laughed heartily out of happiness and joy.


    Chen Lihua just sat there with a flushed face as she listened to her mother and mother-in-law talk about her and Liu Longwei as if she wasn''t even in their presence.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t take the joke anymore, so she stood up with her bag as she excused herself.


    "Sorry for the interruption, but I have to leave now".


    Hearing that she wanted to leave, the two women stopped joking and laughing. Now, they only had a smile on their faces.


    Lady Chen asked concernedly, "Why are you going back now, are you OK?".


    "Yes am perfectly fine, I just want to go home and take a nap". Chen Lihua explained.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu looked at each other and made an ''Oh'' sound in unison before Lady Chen smiled and teased her one more time.


    "You''re going home?". Lady Chen asked and Chen Lihua answered immediately without reading meaning into her question, "Yes".


    "Which home are you going to, my house or...?". Lady Chen said as she dragged the ''or'' without saying any other word after it.


    It was now that Chen Lihua understood what Lady Chen meant by that, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Am going home, to my husband''s house".


    This answer really made the two women smile and wink at each other.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t stand the teasing anymore, so she walked to the door.


    When she was about turning the door handle to open the door, Lady Chen asked seriously, "Your mother-in-law and I will be meeting with our friends later, do you want to come along?".


    "No". Chen Lihua answered without thinking twice before reaching for the door handle.


    Seeing that she was not interested and was going to leave the next second, Lady Chen said again, "It''s about you, I promised to explain to them when they asked me about your marriage, after they saw my post".


    Chen Lihua released her grip from the door handle and turned around to face the two women as she sighed before answering, "Mum I really don''t want to come along. The meeting is between you and your age mates, so how can I follow?. Do you want me to be ignored and be bored out of mind, or do you want me to be the center of attraction or topic of discussion and then my brain would explode?".


    "Enough". Lady Chen said softly as she waved her hands before continuing, "At least give me a hug before leaving, or is it not allowed?".


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh as she didn''t know what to do with Lady Chen anymore. But somewhere in her heart, she felt satisfied and so she smiled as she walked back to her mother.


    Seeing that she really agreed and came back to give her a hug, Lady Chen stood up happily.


    As they mother and daughter duo hugged, Lady Chen pecked her on the cheek and Chen Lihua reciprocated with a peck as well.


    After all these, the mother and daughter released themselves from the hug with smiles on their faces.


    Seeing that they were through with showing their affections, Madam Liu stood up and requested for a hug as well.


    Chen Lihua hugged her and pecked Madam Liu on the cheek because the latter pecked her, so she had to reciprocate.


    After Madam Liu released Chen Lihua from her embrace, she said happily, "Lihua don''t be angry that we teased you. We only did that to ease the atmosphere and also to make you blush and feel happy".


    Chen Lihua smiled as she listened to Madam Liu''s explnation and nodded in understanding.


    After hugging and pecking the ladies to their satisfaction, Chen Lihua said her goodbyes to them and left after blowing a kiss to them.

 Chapter 92 - Chen Lihua likes to drive herself.

    Outside the tea house, Chen Lihua walked to the bodyguards car and knocked on the window.


    The one sitting on the driver''s seat rolled the windows down and asked politely, "Madam do you need anything?".


    Chen Lihua nodded and asked seriously, "What''s Liu Longwei''s Villa address?".


    The bodyguards didn''t see this question coming because they looked at Chen Lihua in shock and then looked at each other before looking back at Chen Lihua asked if that look would change the question she just asked.


    But their efforts were in vain because Chen Lihua saw they were looking at her without answeing her question, so she asked them again, "Why are you guys looking at me like that? Hurry up and answer my questions, am so tired and need to sleep".


    The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat made up his mind to answer her since he was scared of her getting angry because he hasn''t forgotten how Chen Lihua finished them in the morning with her words, and the last he would want now was for what happened that morning to repeat itself again. So he gave the address to her.


    When Chen Lihua heard the address, she said ''thanks'' and was about walking away when the bodyguard in the driver''s seat suggested.


    "Madam if you don''t know the way to the villa, one of us will drive you home and the other will follow you with this car".


    Chen Lihua regected the idea immediately with a kind smile on her face, "You don''t have to worry about that, the GPS system in my car is not for fancy, and I like to drive myself".


    And with that, Chen Lihua walked away. She got into her car and drove off immediately.


    They bodyguards followed after her immediately, and this time around, they followed her closely as they were afraid that the GPS system in the car would direct her wrongly, and then she would loose her direction.


    As they followed her, they were still shocked that Chen Lihua didn''t know the address and the way home to the house. They kept wondering what she would have done if they were not with her, so they made up their mind right there to follow her closely everywhere she went to ensure her safety.


    This situation they encountered was somewhat interesting, but they made up their mind not to tell Liu Longwei about it as they felt it was nothing.


    Afterall, Liu Longwei didn''t send them to monitor his wife, but rather to guard and protect her whenever she encountered any problem, and to report to him if the problem was serious. And so today''s episode wasn''t of any importance, so they let it be.


    What they bodyguards didn''t know was that without them, Chen Lihua would still find her way, as she wasn''t embarrassed about asking people for locations. But if the location is confidential, she would call her mother to ask.


    This is because Chen Lihua hasn''t been in Country C for a long time, and she isn''t the type that likes to explore, she wouldn''t just wake up one morning to drive around just to know places.


    Once she wakes up in the morning, she''s already off to work and after work, she comes home straight. She doesn''t even go for shopping, she likes staying indoors.


    The only way for her to know places is if she sees that place on her way back from work or if she hears about it from other people. Buy without that, she won''t know anywhere.

 Chapter 93 - How would you then sleep when youre pregnant?.

    They bodyguards followed Chen Lihua''s car closely without loosing a sight of it even for a second till she got home.


    Chen Lihua parked her car in front of the entrance to the house before coming down from the car.


    As she was about to go in, a bodyguard standing at the entrance greeted her and asked, "Madam would you be going out anytime soon, if not, I can park the car at the underground car park for you".


    Chen Lihua was surprised when she heard the word ''underground''. She never knew that there was an underground parking garage in the villa, so she confirmed from the bodyguards, "Is there really an underground parking garage in this Villa?".


    The bodyguard replied her question immediately, "Yes Madam, do you want to see it?".


    Chen Lihua smiled as she rejected the idea, "Not now, but when I want to see it, I will look for one of you".


    The bodyguard replied with an OK before Chen Lihua walked into the house after giving the car key to bodyguard to park the car in the underground parking garage as she won''t be going out anytime soon.


    Walking into the house, she met the house keeper who greeted her and asked her if she wanted something to eat or drink.


    Chen Lihua returned her greeting before saying tiredly, "I don''t need anything now, am going to take a nap. But I would have Chinese for lunch".


    After saying her piece, Chen Lihua climbed the stairs before pushing the door to Liu Longwei''s room open. She dropped her bag on the bed before pulling her shoe off her feet.


    Next, She brought her phone out from her bag and switched off before putting it back inside her bag, and then dumped the bag in the floor, beside the bed.


    Then without removing the light make up that was on her face, she directly layed on the bed and dozed off immediately her head hit the pillow.


    The house keeper was initially confused when Chen Lihua said she would have Chinese for lunch as Chen Lihua spoke in full English, so it took her a while to understand the meaning.


    When she understood the meaning, she shook her head and sighed as she wondered in head if her Madam could speak Chinese because since the time she interacted with her that morning and now, she has not heard even one Chinese word from the latter''s mouth.


    The housekeeper sighed again as she felt that it won''t be easy to serve the Madam if she continued speaking English without at least mixing it with Chinese so she would try to understand whatever she said.


    She wondered if one day she didn''t understand what Chen Lihua said, if she would be able to tell her that she doesn''t hear English.


    After having these thoughts, the house keeper entered the kitchen to see what she could prepare for Chen Lihua for her lunch.


    As the housekeeper busied herself in the kitchen, Chen Lihua slept like a baby for two good hours. She didn''t even have the opportunity to dream because her body was too tired to do so.


    So Chen Lihua slept till 2:15 pm in the afternoon before she woke up tiredly.


    When Chen Lihua woke up, she didn''t stand up immediately, instead she blinked her eyes and fell into a light sleep. She kept waking up and drifting off to sleep until she told herself to get up.


    Chen Lihua who had a tired look on her face patted her face gently as she muttered under her breath, "Chen Lihua you need to wake up, how can you keep sleeping like a pregnant woman, if you keep this act up, how would you then sleep when you''re pregnant?".


    As those words left her mouth, Chen Lihua suddenly widened her eyes in realization as she just recalled what she just said. And with that, she sat up on the bed immediately as she shook her head frantically.

 Chapter 94 - Chen Lihua felt so refreshed after taking an afternoon nap.

    As those words left her mouth, Chen Lihua suddenly widened her eyes in realization as she just recalled what she just said. And with that, she sat up on the bed immediately as she shook her head frantically.


    She almost pinched her cheeks till it turned blood red. She was really frustrated as she wondered what made her to suddenly think about pregnancy.


    She then concluded in her head that it was as a result of her today''s activity, and she blamed Lady Chen for bringing up the pregnancy talk.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she then turned her body to look at the table clock on the night stand to check the time.


    Seeing that the time was 2:30 pm in the afternoon, Chen Lihua sighed as she saw that she slept for two hours straight.


    She stood up from the bed as she calculated the time Liu Longwei would arrive in Paris.


    She then made a conclusion that he would reach their by 9pm in Chinese time.


    As Chen Lihua stood up, she felt so uncomfortable in her clothes, and she felt that her Chest was hurting. It then dawned on her as she looked down at her clothes that she slept with her bra and clothes on.


    She patted her face and felt that she was finished as she had slept with make up on.


    She quickly tidied up the room as she dressed the bed and put away her bag and shoes.


    She hurried into the bathroom to brush her teeth and have a quick shower before going into the walk-in closet to look for a comfortable clothe to wear.


    She chose a comfortable and simple gown to wear, and then she paired it with a flat brown sandals.


    After getting dressed, Chen Lihua remembered that she switched her phone off, so she picked up her phone and switched back on before making her way downstairs and to the dining to have her lunch as she was already famished.


    The housekeeper finished preparing the lunch 30 minutes ago, so she kept waiting for Chen Lihua to come down and have her lunch.


    After waiting for quite a while, the housekeeper concluded that Chen Lihua maybe too tired, and that''s why she hadn''t come down to eat.


    While waiting, at a point, She wanted to go upstairs to wake Chen Lihua up, but she discarded that idea immediately because she felt that it wasn''t right for her to wake her.


    She then concluded that the highest thing that would happen is that she would have to heat up the food whenever Chen Lihua wakes up.


    After cleaning up the kitchen, the housekeeper came out from the kitchen as she planned to go outside. But lo and behold, she saw Chen Lihua walking down the stairs without a trace of the earlier fatigue on her face.


    The Chen Lihua now looked so refreshing and energetic after taking a bath.


    The housekeeper stared at her for a while before praising her, "Madam you look so energetic and am sure you had a good nap. Should I serve the dishes now?".


    Chen Lihua looked up at her and said with a refreshing smile, "I had a good nap. As I was too tired, I slept for a long while, and now I feel so refreshed. You can serve the dishes now".


    The housekeeper felt that she was lucky that Chen Lihua mixed her English and Chinese words together, so she was able to understand what she said.


    So she smiled as she turned to leave. But she was stopped by Chen Lihua''s voice that came from behind.


    "I will only eat a small bowl of rice, and nothing more than that".


    The housekeeper nodded to show that she heard and understood what she said before leaving to serve the dishes.

 Chapter 95 - You are my wife and I miss you so much already.

    As they dishes were served, Chen Lihua sat on the dining table to enjoy her meal.


    The aroma of the food on the table really made her more hungry and her stomach even growled in protest.


    Chen Lihua quickly picked up her spoon as she used it to take some rice into her mouth before putting some side dishes into her mouth.


    Chen Lihua had a frown on her face as she tried using the chopsticks to pick up some vegetables. After trying for a while, she was able to pick up some.


    But she couldn''t continue struggling with a mere chopstick as she was too hungry to handle it, so she requested for a fork.


    When the fork was brought to her, she used it and the spoon together to pick up the vegetables and rice.


    She would use her spoon to drink soup from time to time, but her main focus was on the side dishes.


    After wiping the plates clean, Chen Lihua sent her plates to the kitchen and personally washed them herself.


    When the housekeeper saw her washing the plates herself, she wanted to take over from her but Chen Lihua refused as she said, "You don''t need to disturb yourself, am already done with it. You can have your lunch if you''ve not had any and also take a nice rest".


    The housekeeper smiled in gratitude before she left the kitchen.


    After washing the plates, Chen Lihua picked up her phone and walked out of the house to take a stroll.


    While taking a stroll, she didn''t ask about the underground parking garage, instead she walked around the house for a while before going back inside to work.


    Inside, she took her laptop from where it was kept and went into Liu Longwei''s study to work with it.


    Chen Lihua busied herself in the study till around evening before coming out.


    She went to the living room to sit. She truly felt bored now as she was left all alone in the huge mansion, she somehow regretted taking 3 days off from work, so she made a call to the hospital to inform them she that would resume work the next day.


    After the call, Chen Lihua played games with her phone for an hour. She played different types of games like, the barbie dress up games, talking Angela, and some cooking games.


    She played the games for a total of 1 hour 30 minutes before getting bored again.


    But she was lucky this time as it was 8pm and she was hungry as well. This time around, she wanted to eat noodles so. She made the noodles herself as she didn''t want to be lazying around and doing nothing in the living room.


    While she enjoyed her noodles and some where in her mind, she was really waiting for Liu Longwei''s call.


    While Chen Lihua was waiting for Liu Longwei''s call, Lady Chen was busy entertaining her guests.


    In one of the rooms in the restaurants, voices from different women could be heard as they joked and laughed.


    When it was time to order, they women didn''t hold back at all, they happily ordered as many different dishes and drinks as they wanted.


    When Lady Chen saw how they were ordering carelessly, she couldn''t help but say with a serious expression, "Am just a millionaire. When I said the food and drinks were on me, what were you people thinking, is it to keep ordering till I go bankrupt?".


    One of the women Mrs Zhou scoffed and warned the others, "Which millionaire, who do you want to deceive? Please you all shouldn''t listen to her, this woman you''ve looking at is a multi billionaire".


    Another woman Mrs Zheng agreed as she chimed in, "Yes yes, nobody should be deceived by her words. Search for the top 50 richest people in the world, check the 45th in the list, you will see her name right there and occupying that position".


    Instead of having a proud look on her face, Lady Chen had a modest smile as she said, "I refuse to admit am a billionaire untill I move from the 45th to the 30th on the list".


    These women laughed out loud, but Mrs Zhou couldn''t help but ask out of curiosity, "Chen Ju Ju you''re a billionaire already, but why do you need to make so much money again?".


    Lady Chen answered immediately with a smile, "I have so many children to train, so I don''t want any of them to starve or go to a substandard school, I want them to be very comfortable".


    As she said this, they women quickly understood as they all knew that Lady Chen has some orphans under her wings. So they talked about they children for a while before moving to another topic.


    They asked about Chen Lihua''s marriage and Lady Chen revealed to them that Madam Liu who was sitting beside her and joined in their conversation was now her in law.


    Gasp were released in the room by they women due to shock. This news was indeed very shocking to them.


    They kept asking questions one after the other and Lady Chen answered them patiently untill she couldn''t anymore, so she made them stop asking questions when the food and drinks were brought in.


    After they finished eating, they thanked Lady Chen for the meal and also congratulated her and Madam Liu on the union of their children.


    Lady Chen let them go after she told them not to release the news till anyone until Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei released the news of their marriage themselves.


    After they women left, Lady Chen and Madam Liu left as well in their cars.


    Having finished her dinner, Chen Lihua went upstairs and to the bedroom with her phone.


    10 minutes later, She received a call from an international number.


    When she saw the foreign number, her heartbeat increased as she had a good premonition that it was Liu Longwei that was calling. So after taking a deep breath, she answered the call.


    When she picked the call, she heard a deep smiling voice, "How is my wife doing?".


    Chen Lihua couldn''t help but smile as she answered, "Your wife is doing just fine, I thought you wouldn''t call".


    Liu Longwei laughed out loud as he answered, "Why won''t I call you, you''re my wife, and I miss you so much already".

 Chapter 96 - Do you want me to get you pregnant?.

    "You miss me?". Chen Lihua asked unbelivably before she continued, "How can you miss me when we just saw each other 11 hours ago, you must be kidding me".


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly, "It''s not a problem if you don''t believe me, as far as what I said is true, then there''s no problem at all".


    Chen Lihua sighed, "Whatever. Where are you now, in a hotel or do you have a Villa there?".


    Liu Longwei answered without a smile, "Am in a villa. You know it would be weird for me to be in a hotel considering the nature of my job. There''s no how I would be into real estate business and not have a house to sleep in".


    "Who knows, you might have a weird taste". Chen Lihua answered sarcastically.


    Liu Longwei didn''t get angry, instead he chuckled and said, "What would you do if I was in a hotel?".


    Chen Lihua mulled over his question for two seconds before answering truthfully, "To tell you the truth, I wouldn''t care".


    "I knew you would say that, and am not surprised because I know we are not that close enough for us to be jealous. Our situation is understandable". Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua answered, "You''re right".


    Liu Longwei took a deep breath before changing the topic. "How was your day?".


    Chen Lihua smiled as she used the pillow to support her back as she relaxed on the bed''s headboard before answering, "My morning went well as I spent it with our mothers. But when I got home I slept, ate and worked, and then I became bored. Honestly this house is too big and lonely for me as there is no one to accompany me".


    Liu Longwei laughed as he teased her, "Are your words implying that you missed me and so you want me to come home soon. Or do you want me to get you pregnant so you could have kids that would accompany you and you won''t ever be bored again?".


    "Oh my goodness!". Chen Lihua said out loud as she blushed furiously.


    She was lucky that Liu Longwei couldn''t see her blush otherwise he would continue to tease her untill she became senseless.


    With this tease that came from her very own husband, Chen Lihua felt that she had definitely offeneded someone. If not she wouldn''t have been teased left and right throughout today by three people, and all the topics for today''s teasing were somehow related.


    As she hasn''t made a sound for a while because she was busy blushing and her thoughts were running wild, Liu Longwei couldn''t help but say as she smiled, "What are you thinking of, do you find the idea of me coming back soon to accompany you or do you find the idea of me getting you pregnant so you could have kids that would accompany you, reasonable?".


    "Yo.....u, you, you". At this point, Chen Lihua stuttered as she was too shocked to speak.


    Liu Longwei mimicked her, "Yo.....u, you, you, what?". Then, he laughed out loud and continued, "This one you''re stuttering, I can see that you''re already considering my well thought suggestions. Quickly tell me, which one is your pick?".


    It was now that Chen Lihua came back to her senses, "I can see that you must have dreamt a lot when you were in the plane. Let me tell you now, I don''t even want you to come back. And as for kids, the wedding has to happen first before we can talk about it".


    "No problem My Lady, I will listen to anything you say". Liu Longwei replied with a smile.


    After two seconds of silence, Chen Lihua asked concernedly, "Have you eaten?".


    Instead of Liu Longwei to answer her straight away, he first joked, "Wow finally my wife cares about me. Am not hungry now, so I''ve not eaten, but I will eat later".


    Chen Lihua said truthfully, "You can tease me all you want, yes I am your wife and I should care about you".


    "Wow". Liu Longwei said as he was totally surprised at Chen Lihua''s acknowledgement


    He then smiled as he said with his deep voice, "I didn''t expect you to answer truthfully, what happened?".


    "I know you''re surprised, but you shouldn''t be because sometimes I really have to acknowledge the truth". Chen Lihua replied.


    "Ok. When will you resume with your work since you feel so bored staying at home?. Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua answered immediately, "You don''t even need to ask this question because am running back to work first thing tomorrow morning because of I don''t, I might really go psycho or go into depression out of boredom".


    Liu Longwei laughed loudly as his deep voice rang through the phone. He laughed hard for a while before adding to the joke, "I can see your heels have already been positioned and ready to sprint. Don''t be in hurry to sprint, check the traffic lights before you take off".


    Chen Lihua laughed out loud as well as she answered, "No problem I will".


    As Liu Longwei remembered something, he asked immediately because he was very curious, "How did you know I was the one that called?".


    It was Chen Lihua''s turn to chuckle as she was really happy to answer him.


    "Number one, the phone number. I''ve been timing your flight and knew you would call around this time, and there''s no foreign number owned by any of my friends not saved in my phone. So I combined these reasons to guess you''re the one. The second and most authentic guess is your voice. I may forget someone''s face, but not their voice unless I didn''t pay attention to the voice".


    Liu Longwei nodded and smiled before his voice came through the phone, "Wow you''re good. Now I remember, your voice sounds nice and from this alone, I can tell that you can sing. So how about singing a song for me?".


    Chen Lihua felt proud because Liu Longwei gave a good compliment on her voice even though he hasn''t even listened to it.


    "You must be dreaming. I won''t sing for you".

 Chapter 97 - Liu Longwei reminds Chen Lihua of his suits.

    Chen Lihua felt proud that Liu Longwei gave a good compliment on her voice even though he hasn''t even listened to it.


    "You must be dreaming. I won''t sing for you".


    "Pretty damsel please do your husband the honour". Liu Longwei pleaded with a smile.


    Chen Lihua rejected him, "Do you think I would loose my senses and sing for you just because of a few words of praise?. You''re definitely not serious. I know am pretty, and so nobody can deceive me with those words".


    Liu Longwei chulcked as he chided her with a mild tone, "Look at you. I can tell how proud of your looks you are from your voice".


    Chen Lihua smiled proudly as she answered him, "Of course am proud of my good looks. I really need to thank Lady Chen for the good genes".


    Liu Longwei nodded as he totally agreed with her, "Yes, we really need to thank your mother for the good genes or else, who knows what you would have looked like".


    Chen Lihua rebutted him immediately, "What do you mean? Even if I didn''t inherit my mother''s good looks, I would have been beautiful since I had my father as a backup".


    "Your father?". Liu Longwei asked.


    He was totally surprised as this was the first time Chen Lihua had mentioned her father to him. Although he knew that Chen Lihua didn''t like her father since she hasn''t mentioned him once to him, but he didn''t know the conflict in her family, and he didn''t want to ask.


    After asking that question, what he received was silence. Liu Longwei almost thought that Chen Lihua had fallen asleep if not that he knew that the word ''father'' was a sensitive topic to her.


    Liu Longwei opened his mouth in order to change the topic, but Chen Lihua beat him to it immediately.


    "It''s getting late over here, and I need to sleep early since I have work tomorrow morning".


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh and decided to console her, "Lihua you don''t need to end our conversation just like that because you have a mood swing. I know this tactics very well and won''t be fooled by it. Leaving that aside, did you think I would let our conversation end with you in a bad mood?".


    Chen Lihua sighed as she could hear the concern and thoughts Liu Longwei had for her, so she said to him after taking a deep breath, "OK my caring husband what else do want to tell me?".


    "Oh nothing much, I just wanted to remind you not to forget about the suits you''re supposed to buy for me". Liu Longwei said with a hint of smile in his voice.


    "Oh my God!". Chen Lihua said as she massaged her forehead with one of her hands before saying, "Are you for real right now? You''re already thinking of spending my money, can''t you give me a break?".


    Liu Longwei stood up from the bed as he walked towards the window to look down from there.


    "I know you''re rich and one or two suits won''t make a difference to your bank account. You don''t need to think too much. I bought you a car, and I know you''re enjoying it a lot".


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "Are you reminding me of the car you bought for me as a topic now, so you could rip me off of my money?".


    "Well you can say that if that''s what you think and how you put it. But the main reason is because I want to get a gift from you, either by a hook or by crook method". Liu Longwei said truthfully without trying to hide a anything from her.


    "Oh, now I get why this rich CEO wants to spend my money. OK, one or two suits really won''t make me poor, so there''s no harm in buying them for you". Chen Lihua said in agreement.


    Liu Longwei laughed as he said, "That''s my girl. Now that my wish has been acknowledged, I won''t disturb you anymore".


    "Am not your girl, goodbye". Chen Lihua said.


    And Liu Longwei responded immediately, "Goodbye wifey".


    Tut tut tut. That was the sound that signified the end of their discussion.


    Liu Longwei had a satisfied smile on his face on his face after his conversation with his wife ended.


    in fact, he was in a good mood and so he decided to eat. Thankfully, the food was ready so he went downstairs to eat after the chef finished serving his food.


    On the other end in Country C, Chen Lihua dropped her phone on the night stand and layed on the bed to sleep.


    She really had a hard time falling asleep as all that was on her mind, was her conversation with Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua rolled on the bed for a while, and now unable to take it, she decided to fall asleep by thinking, actually dreaming of a happy marriage with Liu Longwei after setting an alarm for 05:00 Am.


    At five in the morning of the next day, Chen Lihua woke up from the alarm song. From the look on her face, you could tell that she didn''t sleep early as she had a hard time falling asleep.


    But Chen Lihua had to wake up or else, she would be late for work.


    So, she sat up on her bed, closed her eyes and got into a Yoga position. She meditated for a total of 20 minutes before going to the bathroom to wash up.


    As she was brushing her teeth, she looked through the window and her gaze fell on her fingers.


    Her eyes widened in shock. And the next moment, a scream escaped from her mouth.


    She rinsed her mouth and her toothbrush with water in a hurry. And after that, she ran out of the room immediately.


    Luckily for her, she found the house keeper and some servants cleaning up the living room and the kitchen. So she ran to the house keeper who was in the kitchen, flustered.


    When she saw the house keeper and without waiting to receive a greeting from her, she greeted the house keeper first and said in a pleading voice.


    "Aunt could you please help me?".

 Chapter 98 - Dr Chen the chief is looking for you.

    When she saw the house keeper and without waiting to receive a greeting from her, she greeted them housekeeper first before saying in a pleading voice.


    "Aunt could you please help me?".


    The housekeeper dropped the kettle of water on the gas cooker and turned around when she heard Chen Lihua''s voice.


    Seeing how Chen Lihua was breathing fast, she asked concernedly, "Yes Madam what can I help you with?".


    Chen Lihua immediately displayed her fingers in her view while saying, "Do you think you can help me get rid of these French tips?, I can''t go to the hospital with these things on my fingers".


    The housekeeper was really confused as she didn''t understand a thing Chen Lihua just said. But she only understood one word ''Hospital'', and she also saw the manner Chen Lihua kept waving her fingers for her to see. So from these actions, she was able to guess that Chen Lihua wanted to remove the nails because she was going to the hospital.


    So the housekeeper asked her politely, "You''re going to the hospital so you need a help to remove the nails?".


    Chen Lihua nodded her head while saying, "Yes! yes!".


    The housekeeper smiled and said, "I don''t know how to remove it, but I know one of the servants'' that was into nail polishing, I think she will be able to help you".


    Chen nodded in agreement and so the housekeeper called that particular maid and asked her if she could remove the artificial nails.


    And luckily for Chen Lihua, the maid had something that could help to remove the nails.


    In the sitting room, after removing the artificial nails, Chen Lihua was so happy and felt free that the nails has been removed.


    She couldn''t conceal the smile on her face. She stood up from the sofa and thanked the housekeeper and the maid who helped her remove the nails.


    But the housekeeper and the maid dare not receive her thanks, so the thanked Chen Lihua asked well.


    Before going back to her room, the housekeeper asked her what she would like for breakfast, so she blurted out immediately, "I want a hot glass of milk, four slices of bread and two fried eggs. Mix purple onion and some hard tomatoes before frying the egg".


    Then as she was about to walk up the stairs, she suddenly remembered something, and so she turned to add a little more request to her breakfast order, "If there are fresh lettuce leaves, you can bring a little as well".


    After instructing, Chen Lihua ran upstairs immediately to wash up and get dressed, ready for work.


    This time around, the housekeeper understood that Chen Lihua wanted for breakfast because, she spoke simple words in English and not those big words. So she hurried into the kitchen to get the breakfast ready in time.


    Left alone in the living room, the maid that helped Chen Lihua remove those artificial nails heaved a sigh of relief as she wasn''t punished.


    Initially when the housekeeper called her to ask about removing the nails, she thought that she was in trouble already because she had some nail polish and artificial nails in her possession, but that did not mean that she used it.


    It was just in her possession because she used to do that kind of work before she was employed to work in Liu Longwei''s Villa.


    But now that having those things in her possession didn''t bring her trouble, but brought satisfaction to her mistress, she felt it was worth it because she wasn''t going to be sacked.


    After regaining her self from those thoughts, she left the living room immediately, least she was being reported for slacking off during working hours.


    After Chen Lihua had finshed washing up, she entered the walk-in closet to dress up.


    She wore a black trouser that was not clinging to her skin, and then she paired it up with a plain white blouse before putting on a pair of black flats on her feet.


    Next, she rolled up her hair which was already styled in a French plait/braid. As it was not proper for her to let her hair dangle down her back since she was going to the hospital and there might be a case of emergency.


    Without spraying any perfume or applying make up or putting on any form of jewelry, she went to the Study room to pack up her laptop.


    And with that, she went downstairs to have her breakfast.


    In the dining room, she placed her properties on an empty chair before sitting on another one to have her already served breakfast.


    She smiled as she took a sip from her hot glass of milk, but then she found that it was a little too hot for her, so she placed the glass back on the table.


    A servant who was passing by asked her respectfully if she would like for her to cool to college the milk a little, but Chen Lihua declined the offer as she said that she was in a hurry and could manage perfectly. So the servant left.


    Picking up a slice of bread, Chen divided the egg in the plate into two. Then she spread one part on the slice of bread on her palm before using another slice to close it.


    Then she took a bite and chewed on it before blowing on her milk and then drank a bit. In this way, Chen Lihua had her breakfast until she finished everything on her plate.


    After having breakfast, she picked up her things and went outside where her Audi was already parked and waiting to be driven.


    Before driving off, she told they bodyguards who were about getting into their own car not to follow her.


    They bodyguards were still worried, but they dare not follow her. Who knows, Chen Lihua might really flare up if they followed her.


    Chen Lihua''s drive to the hospital was smooth, so she parked her car at the underground parking lot before going into the hospital.


    Immediately Chen Lihua entered the hospital, a nurse greeted her and said, "Dr Chen the chief is looking for you".

 Chapter 99 - A sudden cardiac arrest.

    (Note: I''ve edited the ages I used for the characters. Am sorry for the inconvenience).


    Immediately Chen Lihua entered the hospital, a middle aged nurse at the reception smiled as she greeted her and said, "Dr Chen the chief is looking for you".


    Chen Lihua halted in her steps and asked in a surprised tone, "The chief?, are you sure am the one he''s looking for?".


    Chen Lihua was surprised that the cheif would want to see her, and as for the reason, she had no idea about that.


    Normally, the chief would interact with her mother since she was the one who usually spoke with him, instead of her.


    And that''s the reason she''s surprised. The number of times she had interacted with the chief could be counted on one hand.


    And everytime she met the chief, he would smile at her after exchanging short pleasantries.


    With these, Chen Lihua concluded that he did that because of her mother as she hasn''t displayed any talent that would cause the smiles to occur.


    The nurse looked at Chen Lihua asked she answered with a smile, "You''re the only Dr here who goes by the surname ''Chen''. And by the way, you''re also the youngest Cardiologist ever recorded in the world".


    The nurse said the last part with a hint of pride and admiration.


    The nurse was quite surprised the first day she discovered this, and she wrote it down somewhere in her mind never to belittle this young Doctor Who looks like she doesn''t know where her bearing was.


    Hearing the affirmation, Chen Lihua heaved a sigh and thanked the nurse before she quickly left to enter the elevator to proceed to the Chief surgeon''s office.


    Getting to the Chief''s office, Chen Lihua knocked thrice on the door. She only entered after getting a permission to proceed.


    As she entered, she closed the door behind her and walked a few steps to stand in front of the 56 years old man who was sitting comfortably on his soft, black, leather chair.


    "Good morning Chief, one of the nurses at the reception told me you wanted to see me". Chen Lihua greeted before asking.


    The Chief smiled as he said in a gentle tone, "Good morning to you too Dr Chen, please have a seat".


    Chen Lihua withdrew her smile as she felt that there was no need to smile at the man since she had greeted and treated him respectfully, and the second reason was that, they were not that closet.


    After sitting on on one of the receiving chairs that was directly opposite of him, Chen Lihua stared at the man while waiting for him to justify the reason she was currently sitting in his office.


    Seeing the way Chen Lihua was looking at him and waiting for him to talk, the Chief laughed as he spoke, "One of the reasons I wanted to see you is to congratulate you on your sudden marriage as you didn''t tell anyone about it. And the second reason is about real business".


    Chen Lihua gave her reasons immediately as she said seriously, "I just signed a marriage certificate. The real wedding hasn''t taken place. But I will do well to inform you once the date has been fixed. As for the real business, what does Chief want to talk about?".


    The Chief smiled as he really took her explanation to heart. Then explaining the real business, he said two very serious words, ''Heart transplant'', before elaborating more on it.


    "I am well aware that you have withnessed Ten heart transplants and participated in six, but not as the Chief Surgeon. Can you tell me your experiences because I have performed two heart transplants as the lead Surgeon. I really want to hear what you want to say, and from that I can think about giving you a chance when the opportunity comes".


    Chen Lihua stared at the middle aged man for a while before saying, "Am not in a hurry to perform any major surgery as I believe that I have the lowest rank in this department despite what I''ve earned. You may understand accept the level I can reach but the others may not. And I don''t want to cause trouble, at least not now since I just started working here 3 months ago".


    The Chief sighed as he explained, "That''s why I want to give you a chance to perform better and be in the limelight. So that when the opportunity comes for the heart transplant, Nobody would say anything even if they are satisfied".


    Chen Lihua didn''t have the energy to continue sitting and listen to him, so she vaguely agreed with him, "Let''s see how it goes. I will just leave everything to fate".


    The chief still had something to say, but he had just opened his mouth to talk when an urgent knock sounded on his door.


    The person knocking on the door opened the door in a hurry. With the way she rushed into the Office, you could tell that there was an emergency.


    Lo and behold, the person that came was the same nurse that informed Chen Lihua of the Chief surgeon''s words.


    Chen Lihua turned to look at the nurse who seemed to have taken a lot of effort to reach there.


    The Chief Surgeon had a serious look on his face as he asked, "Nurse Li what''s the emergency that caused you to come up to my office in a rush when you would have rang up my mobile phone or the land-line".


    Nurse Li quickly apologized, "Am sorry Chief. The land-line wasn''t working".


    Then the Chief could only urge her to tell him the emergency that occurred.


    Nurse Li spoke quickly, "The chairman of Long group suddenly collapsed in a sudden cardiac arrest while going for his morning run. The hospital''s ambulance was called and we responded immediately. But the problem is the medics just called to say that they couldn''t shock his heart back into rythm".

 Chapter 100 - Chen Lihuas suggestion.

    (NOTE: Chen Lihua 26yrs, Liu Longwei 32yrs, Lady Chen 45yrs, Madam Liu 52yrs. I will still edit the chapters to change their ages and spellings when I have time).


    Nurse Li spoke quickly, "The chairman of Long group suddenly collapsed in a sudden cardiac arrest while going for his morning run. The hospital''s ambulance was called and we responded immediately. But the problem is the medics just called to say that they couldn''t shock his heart back into rythm".


    There might not seem to be any problem on the surface but underneath, there''s a very big problem. Here''s the thing.


    When someone goes into cardiac arrest and the first reponders can''t shock their heart back into rythm, there is virtually no chance of survival. So bringing the person to the hospital is just a formality.


    And this is what the Chief surgeon, the nurse understood and other cardiologists out there understood.


    The Chief stood up immediately as she shouted furiously, "What are the medics doing? Since they could not restore the heart''s normal rythm after shocking it three times, they would have called much earlier, where they waiting for him to die before giving us a call? Hurry up and give them a call".


    The Chief sighed as he continued to say angrily, "Tell them to connect the patient to an automatic CPR machine to preserve the patient''s heart and organ function in their way here. Hurry up".


    Then the nurse rushed out of the office in a hurry to relay the message.


    The reason Chief Surgen Qui was so flustered is because, the patient in question is not just an ordinary CEO, he was a former minster of the country and therefore has accumulated more power and resources over the years.


    Another reason is that his family is very troublesome. They won''t let things go if he dies, they would find trouble with the hospital even if it''s no one''s fault.


    Immediately the nurse left, Chief Surgeon Qui tugged on his tie till it went off his neck, while the other hand rested on his waist.


    He kept muttering to the hearing of himself and Chen Lihua, "What is wrong with these people. Why on earth did they remember to call our hospital Ambulance as if there is no other private or government hospital out there. I know they are just looking for trouble in this hospital, and to blame me as well".


    "Ah! my enemies want to bring me down. They are just going to bring in a dead body here or a brain dead patient since there''s no solution. I think is better we prepare the cath lab just for formalities sake".


    As Chief Surgeon Qui said this sentence, his hands ran through his hair, and then down to his face before resting on his two sides helplessly. He said the last sentence looking at Chen Lihua asked if asking for her opinion.


    Chen Lihua who had been thinking and not said anything since, now had an opportunity to talk.


    She first looked up and stared at the Chief who was already looking dishealved and restless.


    Chen Lihua saw him in a new light now. She wondered if the man she was seeing now, was the same man that was sitting properly and composedly, and also had smiles on his face while talking to her.


    Chen Lihua shook her head to remove the thoughts from her head as she said to herself business first.


    "Chief there''s no need to panic as there is a solution, we just need to go and prepare the cath lab right now as the ambulance is on the way, and will soon get here.  We don''t want to look foolish, do we?".


    The Chief taught there is finally an answer to his prayers, so he said, "There''s a solution? So what on earth are we waiting for, let''s go. You can explain to me on our way to the lab".


    The Chief said as he grabbed his lab coat from the hanger before leaving with Chen Lihua in a hurry.


    "There is a new protocol that was tested at the Ohio State University Wexmer Medical Center, and it''s already saving lives, increasing survival rates from 0 to about 40%. The extracorpoeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) protocol was developed through a partnership with the Columbus Division of fire. It is initiated by EMS. Since they medics has already used the Automatic CPR to preserve the patient''s brain and organ per your instruction, the next step is to prepare the ECMO machine".


    At this point, Chen Lihua finally found the chance to breath before continuing.


    "The ECMO machine allows the heart and lungs to rest while the doctors perform a heart cathetirization to find the problem, which is usually a blocked artery".


    By now, the Chief Surgeon was already smiling after Chen Lihua finished explaining to him.


    This seamless process from the field where he collapsed while on his morning walk and then to the cath lab gives the doctors a chance to fix what caused the the cardiac arrest, the chance they didn''t have before.


    As Help was on their side, they reached the cath lab and so the Chief surgeon orders the doctors and nurses to immediately prepare the ECMO machine and other equipments ready.


    After ordering them, He turned to Chen Lihua with a smile as he said, "Once this surgery is successful which I believe would be, you''re already going to be my personal assistant during any heart transplant".


    After saying his piece, he turned to walk away while saying, "Dr Chen prepare for this particular surgery now".


    In the cath lab, Chen Lihua, The Chief surgeon and other cardiologist were already dressed and waiting for the patient.


    Upon arrival, they patient bypassed the emergency room and was taken straight to the heart catheterization lab, where he was connected to the ECMO machine.


    Once the patient was placed on the surgery bed, The Chief Surgeon''s voice rang out.


    "Quickly connect him to the ECMO machine so we could rest the heart and the lungs. Next, we would work on the heart to try to get it restarted and beating".

 Chapter 101 - A succesful surgery.

    Once the patient was placed on the surgery bed, The Chief Surgeon''s voice rang out.


    "Quickly connect him to the ECMO machine so we could rest the heart and the lungs. Next, we would work on the heart to try to get it restarted and beating".


    And so, the surgery went on with the doctors listening and following the Chief Surgeon''s instructions.


    The surgery was successful, and so there was a tinge of hapiness and a sigh of relief from the doctors.


    They wouldn''t even know where they would start explaining to the family of this 72 years old CEO even if the situation was not there fault.


    Honestly, when the heard the situation of this patient, moat of the doctors gave up immediately as they felt that there was no solution to the problem. But they had no choice than to listen to the Chief surgeon''s instructions.


    But now that the surgery was successful, they were relieved and happy as they began to shower praises on the Chief surgeon in order to curry favor and in the Chief Surgeon''s good graces.


    The patient was wheeled out of the cath lab and into the VIP intensive care unit (ICU).


    As the doctors came out of the cath lab and still dressed in their surgical uniform, they began to curry favor with the Chief Surgeon.


    "Chief your method for this surgery was weird but successful. How did you think of this method because the patient had no chance of survival, but this method saved him?". The associate chief surgeon asked as his main interest was not on pleasing the Chief surgeon but to find out the source he got the method and information from.


    This man was so full of jealousy right now as he couldn''t believe that the Chief surgeon was able to find a method he didn''t know about.


    Am just wondering how he would react and what he would do when he finds out that the idea came from the youngest Cardiologist in the world, a girl that was young enough to be his daughter. Tsk tsk tsk.


    Another doctor said as he too was trying to curry favor, "Who cares about the method. What''s important is that the surgery was successful and we are out of trouble".


    Then he turned to the Chief Surgeon and said with a fawning smile, "Congratulations Chief".


    Ha ha ha! The Chief surgeon laughed before explaining the whole idea to them with a smile.


    "You people don''t need to flock around me and praise me for what I did not do".


    The other cardiologists had a look of confusion as they tried to understand what the old man was saying to them.


    Chief surgeon Long gave a knowing smile to Chen Lihua who had been standing at the side and keeping quiet the whole time.


    Chen Lihua met his gaze before moving hers away as if she didn''t understand what he was hinting at.


    Seeing how Chen Lihua moved her gaze away, Chief Long shook his head in amusement and turned to look at the other doctors that have been waiting for his explanation.


    Being satisfied with the sudden attention, he smiled more and answered, "I can''t take credit for what I didn''t do. The success of today''s surgery is as a result of the method given by Our young Dr Chen. She has really surprised me with the level of her knowledge. So if you want to thank somebody, the right person to receive the thanks would be her".


    There were different looks, displaying each emotions the doctors had. There were looks of astonishment, admiration, surprise, envy and jealousy displayed by these cardiologists as they didn''t even try to mask them.


    Chen Lihua was respected and also envied by her colleagues and seniors because she was the youngest cardiologist in the world ever recorded, and she had an IQ of over 200.


    But this her talent and position has brought envy and admiration from her colleagues. It has also caused the Chief surgeon to be fond of her and also have a new level of respect for her.


    After this successful surgery, the Chief and other cardiologists now saw Chen Lihua in a new light because, this was the first time that Chen Lihua had shown and proved herself.


    But before then, they saw her as the youngest cardiologist who bought her way with money and had nothing to offer, forgetting that someone who had that title of the youngest cardiologist in the world, definitely had a potential and  something to offer.


    There is this knowing that no matter what you are and how well you perform, there will definitely be people that will remain dissatisfied with you. And Chen Lihua was not an exception.


    She was currently among those who was being disliked and envied ,simply because they 55 years old Associate Chief surgeon thought that she was just showing off just to steal and be in the limelight.


    Just see how crazy his thoughts are. Instead of him to be happy and proud of his younger collegue, he instead chose to be driven be jealousy that he became muddleheaded in dissatisfaction.


    Chen Lihua could very well feel his dissatisfaction towards her, but who cares?. Chen Lihua gave him a side glance for a second before moving her gaze towards the other doctors that were raining praises on her.


    Whether they were sincere or not, she couldn''t be bothered with them. At least they masked their dissatisfaction well enough, unlike someone who couldn''t take it.


    After exchanging pleasantries with her colleagues, Chen Lihua made her way to the general office for the cardiologist. This office is for those cardiologists without a high rank like the Chief surgeon and the associate chief surgeon.


    On her way there, she was stopped by the Chief surgeon who reminded her with a smile.


    "I talked to you this morning about the heart transplant, now the chance is here, we would talk about that latet".


    And with that, he walked away with a satisfied smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua stared at his back for few seconds before entering the office.

 Chapter 102 - Lets have a Chinese wedding as well.

    Chen Lihua relaxed on the office chair in the study room as she answered Liu Longwei''s call.


    "You want us to have a Chinese wedding before the white wedding, why the sudden suggestion? Chen Lihua asked in a surprised voice.


    "It''s not a suggestion. It''s what I want, just the same way you want a white wedding. I really want to see you in a Qipao (Chinese wedding gown), I know you would look breathtaking in it". Liu Longwei said with an anticipating expression on his face.


    Chen Lihua asked as she rolled her eyes, "Are you serious right now?".


    Liu Longwei answered without certainty, "Of course am serious. I want us to have a Chinese traditional marriage to display our culture, it is the right thing to do".


    "Since you said something about recognizing out culture, then I have to agree since am someone that respects culture. I also wish I could have an Indian traditional marriage as well. Am just wondering how I would look".


    Chen Lihua said with a smile on her face and a longing in her voice.


    Liu Longwei scoffed, "You should have just said that you want to do all the traditional marriages from the different countries in the world".


    Chen Lihua actually agreed with him, "I really wish it was possible. But I can''t just throw money and time away just so I could have different types of weddings".


    Liu Longwei was really amused, so he said to her, "I was actually joking with you, but I didn''t expect you to agree immediately. Your reaction shows that if possible, you would really try different types of weddings in the world".


    "Mmm. What date should we use for our traditional Chinese wedding and white wedding?". Chen Lihua asked as she tapped the pen inbetween her fingers on the table.


    Liu Longwei said after a while, "Am OK with any date you choose. You just need to make the decisions on our wedding and tell me about it, because am OK with anything you do".


    Chen Lihua almost exploded in anger, so she said sharply, "What do you mean you''re OK with anything I do. Don''t you care about the wedding? Don''t you want to have an opinion on the wedding planning? Do you regret our marriage? If yes, tell me immediately so I can find a suitable husband myself".


    Liu Longwei massaged his temples weakly, "Am sorry, I will help you in the wedding preparations from now onwards, and I will also chip in some suggestions where neccessary".


    Then he adjusted himself on the bed comfortablely before asking the most important question to him right now, "You said you wanted to find a suitable husband, am I not suitable for you?".


    Chen Lihua scoffed as she began to sketch on the jotter in front of her. The jotter contained some information about their wedding plans that she made for two weeks now.


    But right now, her attention wasn''t on the book but on the call. So she began to draw things on the book randomly.


    Chen Lihua opened her mouth and said each word carefully, "I never said if you were suitable or not, so don''t get me wrong. But you can learn to be a good and caring husband to your wife".


    "OK Ma". Liu Longwei said helplessly. He really had to throw a cap away for Chen Lihua.


    She should really be given an award for the most unreasonable human on Earth.


    After thinking for a while, he suggested, "I think our traditional marriage and white wedding should be two weeks apart so you would have enough time to rest before getting busy again".


    Chen Lihua slapped the table with her palm, still having the pen inbetween. The sound produced was not loud.


    She was now beaming with a satisfactory smile on her face, "Now I know you''re a caring husband. I will give you a 5 star ratings and then a 7 star rating when my satisfaction is saturated".


    Liu Longwei didn''t know what to do at her reply, so he stayed quiet.


    Chen Lihua changed the topic of discussion back to the wedding planning, "Let''s have our weddings on Fridays. I don''t want it to be on weekdays or weekends, I wanted something inbetween, and so Friday came to my mind.


    Let''s have the traditional wedding on the second Friday of the month, and then the white wedding on the last Friday of the month. How do you see it?".


    Liu Longwei said with a smile as his eyes stared at the closed curtains, "That''s a wonderful date and arrangement. Should I buy our wedding rings here in Paris?".


    At this point, Chen Lihua abandoned what she didn''t know she was doing as she stood up in displeasure. It was as if, if she didn''t stand up, she wouldn''t be able to display her stance.


    "You want to buy my wedding ring without my permission and opinion?".


    Liu Longwei now stopped smiling as he was really troubled, "Didn''t you tell me that I could make some decisions on our wedding? You even flare up when I left everything in your hands. But now am obeying your command, you became angry again. What is the problem?".


    Chen Lihua sneered as she said, "Ehn I told you to help with the decisions as it was our wedding and not mine alone, and so should be planned by us. But it has nothing to do with my ring. It is my job to choose what I want to wear on my fingers for the rest of my life. So you got that mister? Show me the pictures of the most beautiful rings so I could take a pick. It would be better if I had so many fingers so I could put them all on my fingers".


    Chen Lihua giggled like a child at the end of her speech.


    Liu Longwei could not help but to say helplessly, "You are one weird Lady. Your temper is unstable. Are you stressed or are you on your period?".

 Chapter 103 - The reason Lady Chen always wants to show Chen Lihua off as her daughter.

    Liu Longwei could not help but to say helplessly, "You are one weird Lady. Your temper is unstable. Are you stressed or are you on your period?".


    "Yes, so what if am on my period, what can you do about it?". Chen Lihua questioned as she walked about in the study room.


    This time around, Chen Lihua was really on her period.


    "So you''re really on your period? No wonder it seemed like you had eaten explosives. Am just wondering how you would react when you''re having a mood swing during your pregnancy, you might even raise the whole house to dust". Liu Longwei said amusedly.


    Chen Lihua said with a straight face, "Till that time comes, then we would know what I would do".


    After replying, she sat back down on the chair before widening her eyes in shock.


    ''Did Liu Longwei just say something about period and pregnancy and then temper?. Who taught him that?''.


    Then without waiting for his reply, Chen Lihua asked with a tinge of urgency in her voice.


    "I think I''ve caught you red handed, so you better answer me honestly. How did you know that ladies tend to have mood swings during their period and pregnancy?".


    Liu Longwei was quite for a while, while thinking to himself how he just foolishly got himself in trouble.


    Having exhausted all her patience after not hearing any sound from the other end, Chen Lihua said sarcastically, "Not saying anything again? What? Guilty conscience?".


    Liu Longwei really didn''t know what to do again. He laughed helplessly as he said, "I haven''t even answered you and your thoughts are already running wild. I have sisters, so whenever I visit my parents and grandparents, I often heared my mother talk to them over the phone and when they visit the house".


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh of relief without knowing. But Liu Longwei heard her and a small smile appeared on his face as his lips curved sideways.


    "I thought you had gotten a girl pregnant and then abandoned her for some reason. And so my heart couldn''t take it. If it was so, then I would rather have this wedding canceled than to allow an innocent child to be illegitimate".


    Liu Longwei smiled as if he had just discovered something new, "It seems like you really like children a lot".


    At the thought of children, Chen Lihua smiled more and her dimples were on display. But too bad that Liu Longwei was not around to see that beautiful smile.


    "I don''t just like them, I love them. Especially the babies, you need to see how funny and adorable they are. They can make you day with just their smile".


    Liu Longwei said with a smile, "I can see how much you love children. You sound like a mother and you''ve trained kids before".


    Chen Lihua''s smile faltered, she became quiet before answering with a tinge of sadness in her voice, "I used to have younger twin brothers, I was 10 years older than them. But too bad they are no more".


    At this point, Liu Longwei stopped smiling and asked calmly, "What happened to them?".


    Chen Lihua sighed as she answered unhappily, "They were sick, so they died. They died before they could even celebrate their 1 year birthday".


    "How come no one knew about them?". Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    Chen Lihua answered immediately, still with sadness in her voice, "If you don''t want people to know something about you, you have to keep that thing away as a secret from the public. So the same thing happened to my mom. When she was finally pregnant again, she hid the pregnancy as she didn''t want the sudden attention as she was a public figure. And luckily for her, she has a different kind of stomach, such that when she is pregnant, her stomach wouldn''t show much and so you wouldn''t tell. But since she was carrying twins she had to disappear for a period of time".


    Liu Longwei nodded in understanding as he asked, "So that''s why 10 years ago, your mother dissappeared from the public''s eye for six months. So that was the time her stomach was increasing in size, and so she hid away because of it and to give birth as well?".


    "Yes, so I interacted very well with them. I even helped to feed them sometimes. I would always carry them whenever I returned from school. I really loved them a whole lot. One of the twins died of an illness, and so the other followed suit out of depression". Chen Lihua explained as she forced her tears back.


    "Depression?". Liu Longwei asked obviously not understanding.


    "Yes, babies have emotions. They can feel joy, sadness, love and hatred from the people around them. So when one of the twins died, the other one felt the absence of the other and so followed suit. Even the warmth of his sister, parents and other people around couldn''t stop him from following his brother".


    At this point, Chen Lihua was crying already.


    "Heh Heh Heh! You have to stop crying because this was something that happened a long time ago. You have to leave the things of the past in the past and focus on the present and future. Don''t allow the past to drag you down OK?". Liu Longwei said as he tried to comfort her with those words.


    Chen Lihua continued sniffing as she tried so hard to stop her tears, "That''s why my mom became so heartbroken and always wanted to show me off as if I would disappear from her sight the way her husband and other two sons disappeared".


    "Alright stop crying. We were talking about our wedding preparations, so how did the topic change to something that would even make you cry?". Liu Longwei said as he tried to cheer her up.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua wasn''t going to stop crying anytime soon, Liu Longwei decided to tease her, "If you don''t stop crying, I will take it as if you want a child they will fill up that vaccum, and so I would have to come back on the earliest flight tomorrow to make you conceive quickly".


    It seemed that this was the only language, ''teasing'' that Chen Lihua understood because she stopped crying immediately she heard those words.

 Chapter 104 - Keeping her promise.

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei talked for a while as they put heads together to plan their wedding by chipping in suggestions.


    One week later, that is a week before Liu Longwei was to come back, Chen Lihua went on a shopping spree.


    On Friday evening, Chen Lihua bounced into Chen''s Mall. She went to the Men''s section to buy clothes for Liu Longwei.


    She didn''t just pick any random clothe instead, she took her time as she walked around the Men''s section in other to see what would catch her eyes.


    At the end, she selected 4 suits with matching shirts, belts, cuff links, wristwatches, ties and shoes.


    After purchasing all these things, Chen Lihua found at the the bags were already too much to carry. But luckily for her, the two bodyguards were with her, so she told them to send the bags to the car while she checked out some clothes at the Women''s section.


    In the women''s section, two different types of clothes caught her attention.


    A plain wine red skirt with a slit at the center. Without trying on the skirt, Chen Lihua already knew that it would fit her. Then, she chose a white blouse to pair it with.


    Next, her eyes caught a black jumpsuit, and so she immediately walked to where the dress was hanged.


    She ran her hands through the dress, then finding the material comfortable enough, she asked for the dress to be wrapped up for her.


    The jumpsuit she purchased was sleeveless, and also had a not too deep V-neck. But Chen Lihua didn''t mind since she liked the dress and the V-neck was not too deep and so it wouldn''t show too much of her chest.


    Next, she went to the perfume section to pick a bottle of her favorite Vanilla perfume.


    After she was done paying and about to carry the bags herself, the bodyguards came back and carried the bags for her.


    The walking behind, they left the Chen''s Mall and drive down to Designer''s boutique that deals with Men''s wears as Chen Lihua was not satisfied.


    In the shop, she selected some clothes before going to another shop. She continued like this untill she got a total of 10 different colors of suits, belts, cuff links, ties, wristwatches and shoes.


    But because she felt that the suits she bought was now looking too plain in her eyes, she decided to get three casual clothes.


    She bought three jean trousers. One ripped/crazy jeans and two normal jean trousers. Then she bought three T-shirts to pair them up.


    She also bought 3 sneakers to the pair the clothes up as well.


    Still in the shop for Jeans, an idea suddenly got into her head, and so she decided to get herself a pair of ripped jeans.


    Who knows what went through her mind when she was buying herself a pair of ripped jeans. Maybe she had in mind to couple with her husband.


    The booth of the car was completely filled, and then half of the back seat was also filled with shopping bags before Chen Lihua completed her shopping.


    Back home, the servants helped to bring the shopping bags to the room before leaving.


    Now Chen Lihua was left all alone in the room. While sitting on the bed, she began to contemplate if she should unpack and arrange the clothes she bought for him, or if she would leave them in the bags like that.


    Finally making up her mind, she decided to unpack the clothes.


    As she scanned the walk-in closet, she decided to unpack the clothes. But the problem now was that she bought so many things and there was no space left for the new items. So she decided to move her things to the opposite room she Liu Longwei has already agreed on it.


    Chen Lihua called the servants to help her move things and arrange the room because she couldn''t do all the work herself since she was already famished and tired.


    Within 30 minutes, the whole work was done with the help of the servants and with Chen Lihua helping out and instructing them from the side as well.


    Chen Lihua suddenly felt relaxed as they work was done. Maybe she felt relaxed because she had finally moved out from Liu Longwei''s room since he would be back in a week''s time.


    Buy who knows what her actual thoughts were.


    After the whole odeal, Chen Lihua had a nice dinner, took a long bath before dozing off tiredly.


    The next day''s evening, Chen Lihua busied herself in the study room as she started making the wedding guest list.


    She even had to speak to her mother, mother-in-law and Liu Longwei to make the guest list.


    After the matter has been settled, she spoke to Lady Chen about the Church since she was the one in charge of the matter.


    They spoke for a while and the conversation ended with Lady Chen telling her to come and see the Priest with Liu Longwei once he came back. Lady Chen also reminded her to come and carry her car and properties that were doing nothing in the Chen Villa.


    After the call with Lady Chen, mother-in-law was next on the week. After finalizing on the two wedding venues (for the traditional and white weddings), the conversation ended.


    After taking down some notes, she called one of the wedding planners i.e the international wedding planner for the white wedding. They two spoke for over one hour before Chen Lihua leaned on the chair tiredly.


    For the next few days, Chen Lihua was busy, both in the hospital and for her wedding.


    She hired a caterer, a flourist and a photographer. But she did all these things and not without consulting Liu Longwei on some othert matters and his opinion as well since they were they ones having the wedding.


    One week later, Liu Longwei didn''t come back on the day he was supposed to because he was delayed over there. And because of this delay, he didn''t tell Chen Lihua the day he would be arriving.


    Five days later, Chen Lihua walked to her office tiredly. As she has been busy since morning. She was busy with a three hours surgery and then discharging of a patient.


    Chen Lihua washed up in the hospital, as it was time to go home.


    She had walked out of the hospital when she heard her name.


    "Lihua!".

 Chapter 105 - Sharing the same bedroom for the second time.

    She had just walked out of the hospital when she hears her name.


    "Lihua!".


    Chen Lihua was indeed surprised when she heard her name ''Lihua'' instead of Dr Chen since she was still around the vicinity of the hospital.


    And only those close to her, called her by the name ''Lihua''. So this really took Chen Lihua by surprise.


    So she turned her neck around trying to locate the person that called her.


    as she was trying to find out the person that called her, she heard her name for the second time.


    "Lihua look over here".


    The young man on seeing that Chen Lihua hasn''t seen him yet, called out to her again.


    This time around, Chen Lihua looked at her right hand side and saw a tall and good looking man standing beside an unfamiliar car.


    She couldn''t make out the man''s facial features because a dark sunglasses covered his eyes, and he also had unshaved beards on his face. But Chen Lihua still found him handsome.


    If not for the familiar voice, Chen Lihua wouldn''t have even bothered walking towards the man to confirm his identity.


    Seeing how Chen Lihua was walking towards him with a confused facial expression, a soft smile broke out on his face.


    He knew that Chen Lihua didn''t recognize him, but he didn''t get angry, instead he found that act of hers interesting.


    When Chen Lihua had walked close enough to him, she stood at a place and stared at him.


    The young man felt that she looked adorable with the way she was staring at him, so he decided to call out her name, but this time, softly but deeply.


    "Lihua how have you been?". The man asked.


    The man''s deep and sexy voice resonated in Chen Lihua''s ears.


    There was a look of surprise as she seemed to have discovered the man''s identity.


    A beautiful smile broke out on her face as she said to confirm her speculation, "Longwei?".


    Hearing his name, Liu Longwei smiled handsomely. As if to answer her question, he removed the sun shades that covered that pair of seductive eyes from view.


    When Chen Lihua finally saw his face, she couldn''t hide the hapiness that she had been trying to hide.


    She smiled brightly as her dimples could be seen. In that bubble of happiness, Chen Lihua jumped into Liu Longwei''s arms as she hugged him tightly.


    Liu Longwei hugged her as well as his arms wrapped waist tightly.


    Even though they haven''t been too intimate before, that didn''t stop them from expressing the love they didn''t know actually existed.


    They hugged for a while before they let go of each other. But of them didn''t feel shy at all.


    Liu Longwei was even surprised that Chen Lihua would reciprocate, and this made him so happy they he was smiling from ear to ear.


    And because of this, he hugged her one more time before finally letting her go.


    After leaving his embrace, Chen Lihua stared at his face before frowning as she caressed his beards, "Why are you looking like this, do you know that I almost didn''t recognize you? If not that your voice sounded familiar to me, I wouldn''t have bothered to walk to you".


    Chen Lihua retracted her hands from his face as she finally realized what she was doing earlier. There was a tinge of embarrassment on her face.


    But in other not to let her feel embarrassed and spoil the good atmosphere, Liu Longwei pretended that nothing happened by touching his face as he asked her, "Do I really look different?".


    Chen Lihua nodded to show her answer and Liu Longwei then said, "I was in a hurry to come back because I''ve missed you a lot and my mother told me not to leave my newly married wife all alone for a long time as it would make you feel lonely".


    At his words, Chen Lihua bowed her head in embarrassment before saying, "You should have called to tell me you were coming back today".


    "I could have done that but I didn''t want to because I wanted to surprise you". Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua just smiled without saying anything.


    Liu Longwei looked around before asking, "Where''s your car?".


    Chen Lihua answered immediately, "I didn''t come with it, I planned going to the Chen''s residence to pick up my other car".


    "You don''t need to bother about that, we would go together to pick it up tomorrow. But for now, let''s go home". And with that, Liu Longwei dragged her into the back seat of the car before they car left the hospital premises.


    Back home, Liu Longwei didn''t even bother to return the greetings offered by the servants. And as they were right on time for dinner, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua sat down to have a sumptous dinner.


    After having their dinner, they both went to their seperate rooms.


    Chen Lihua loosed the high bun and shampooed her hair with a fruity shampoo before have a nice bath.


    When she came out from the bathroom with her wet waist long hair, she put on a short red night gown and then she wrapped the red robe on her body before securing it by tying up the ropes.


    Next, she dried her hair with a hair dryer before going into Liu Longwei''s bedroom.


    While Chen Lihua went into her bedroom, Liu Longwei went into his to shave and have a long bath.


    After entering his bedroom, Chen Lihua''s brain now remembered to start booting.


    She started wondering what she was doing in Liu Longwei''s bedroom, if she came to seduce him or what...


    She muttered under her breath, "Chen Lihua get a grip on yourself, you''ve only not seen him for a month and you''re already throwing yourself at him".


    Then she sighed before trying to work out from the room when Liu Longwei came out from the walk-in closet in his night robe.


    Their eyes met, and then Liu Longwei discovered that Chen Lihua was about leaving the room, so he smiled and said with a gentle, but deep voice, "Since you''re here then stay, spend the night with me".


    Chen Lihua stood for some seconds while contemplating before she walked towards the bed to sit.


    Seeing that she agreed to spend the night with him, Liu Longwei smiled happily.

 Chapter 106 - First romantic night.

    Seeing that she agreed to spend the night with him, Liu Longwei smiled happily before walking off to switch the lights off.


    Chen Lihua saw herself surrounded by darkness and her heart started to beat at a fast rate.


    She only relaxed slightly when Liu Longwei switched on the table lamp. But she became nervous again when Liu Longwei layed on the bed.


    Liu Longwei layed on the bed and saw Chen Lihua still sitting tensely, so he chuckled softly and said, "I''ve already turned off the lights, what are you still sitting for? Hurry up and lie down. You don''t need to be scared because I don''t bite".


    Chen Lihua didn''t lie down immediately, she struggled with her mind for a while before doing so. And Liu Longwei was not in a hurry as well, he just let her be.


    With both of them laying down in the same bed and even sharing the same blanket, you could say that this night''s matter wouldn''t be as simple as just sleeping till the next morning.


    At first, they two laid down quietly with their backs against each other and their eyes wide open. Before you know it, Liu Longwei turned to face Chen Lihua''s back.


    Then the next moment he shifted till he was very close to Chen Lihua. The distance between them was now a palm''s length.


    Chen Lihua could feel Liu Longwei''s movements, so she became tensed as she didn''t know what Liu Longwei would do next.


    And so Liu Longwei saw her tensed up shoulders and decided to touch them. But who would have known that Chen Lihua would jump up the next moment.


    This actually took Liu Longwei by surprise, so he chuckled as he said, "Why are so sensitive, relax I really won''t bite you, I just wanted to touch you, is that ok?".


    ''You just wanted to touch me?. What a joke, I doubt that you would not only touch, but also eat''. Chen Lihua said this sentence in her mind because she didn''t dare to say it out loud.


    But as for Liu Longwei asking for permission to touch her, she didn''t even stress herself to answer him, so she totally ignored the question.


    But Liu Longwei took her silence as a ''yes''. So since Chen Lihua had already layed back down, he felt it was now time to do his work.


    Before he touched her again, he whispered in her ears, "Am only touching you, so just relax your nerves".


    Instead of Chen Lihua to relax, she instead became more tensed when she heard him say that he wanted to touch her. But she didn''t reject him.


    Seeing her become more tensed, Liu Longwei smiled and reached out his hand to caress her waist, but Chen Lihua shuddered at his touch.


    Liu Longwei become secretly happy because he has found one of Chen Lihua''s sensitive spots.


    He caressed her waist and stomach through her clothes for a while before turning her over, such that Chen Lihua was now laying on her back.


    He slowly untied the ropes of her night robe before kissing her.


    He sucked on her lips for a while before making her sit up on the bed, then he removed her robes and tossed it on the floor, leaving only the short night gown that displayed her fair sexy laps and long legs.


    Chen Lihua became shy as she didn''t know where to keep her face, so she covered her face with her palms.


    Then Liu Longwei said to her with a smile as he removed her hands from her face, "Lihua you don''t have to be shy, I am your husband".


    But Chen Lihua was really not interested in what he was saying even though she heard him. Her eyes were still shut.


    Liu Longwei looked at her for few seconds before saying amusedly, "Lihua open your eyes and look at me, am your husband and not just any man, am the man you will spend the rest of your life with".


    Chen Lihua wanted to say, ''It''s because you''re the man I''ll spend the rest if my life with that I don''t dare to look at you right now because I don''t know how I''ll face you from today onwards''.


    After these thoughts finished going through her mind, Chen Lihua took a deep breath as she layed back on the bed slowly.


    Liu Longwei started to kiss her immediately, but slowly and softly before he increased his pace.


    As he was no longer comfortable with lying beside her, he decided to come between her legs and then lay on her, but in other not to crush her with his body, he supported his weight with his hands.


    Chen Lihua was enjoying the kiss when she felt the person who was kissing her suddenly leave her lips to come in between her legs.


    And in the course of doing this, her already short night gown went up, thereby displaying her red lace panties.


    Chen Lihua''s cheeks became so red that her it started to hurt out of embarrassment. So she used her hands to try dragging the gown down to cover her panties.


    But Liu Longwei didn''t let her because he sat up and immediately stopped her by holding her hands down with his own hands while saying, "You don''t need to bother yourself by dragging the clothes down because it would still go up with the upcoming actions".


    ''Upcoming actions, which upcoming actions?''. Chen Lihua asked herself before her mind started blaring alarms of warning.


    But the warning didn''t have the time to sink into her head because Liu Longwei came inbetween her legs again and started to kiss her.


    So from just sucking on her lips, to sucking her tongue. But since Chen Lihua was not an expert at kissing, Liu Longwei broke the kiss and told her to follow his lead before he went back to kissing her again.


    So from a simple kiss to a French kiss. And before you know it, he slipped his hands into her gown as he moved his hands on her stomach and waist before his hands went for her breasts.

 Chapter 107 - Who wants to see you naked?.

    So from a simple kiss to a French kiss. And before you know it, he slipped his hands into her gown as he moved his hands on her stomach and waist before his hands went for her breasts.


    As Chen was not wearing a bra, she could easily feel his touch. So her eyes widened in shock as she tried to pull his hands away, "What are you doing?".


    "Am touching you". Liu Longwei replied as he continued to fondle her breasts and rain kisses on her face without letting her remove his hands.


    Chen Lihua was really embarrassed, "Where are you touching?"


    Liu Longwei stopped kissing her as he looked up at her, "Am touching your breasts, now my property. I love your breasts, they are so soft in my hands. And you have a nice body, because your breasts are full and standing".


    "Geez! What are you saying, stop touching it, it''s painful". Chen Lihua said as she tried to remove his hands once again.


    But how could Liu Longwei agree to give up on something he likes and is enjoying?.


    But to compromise a little since Chen Lihua said it was painful, he let go of her breasts.


    Chen Lihua thinking that he had finally given up sighed in relief without knowing that it was too early to do that because Liu Longwei didn''t the worst.


    He removed his hands from her breasts and then pushed her nightgown till it was now above her chest. Such that her breasts were now in full view.


    Chen Lihua shuddered as she felt the breeze on her chest.


    She didn''t have the time to protest because she felt a wet sensation on her nipple and she didn''t know when she moaned softly.


    She only recovered from the sensation after a while. She stared at Liu Longwei, but she could only see his head as he was still busy sucking.


    "Liu Longwei get off my body!". Chen Lihua shouted immediately.


    Liu Longwei sucked for the last time before raising his head with a smile, "What? You don''t like it?".


    "The problem doesn''t have to do with my like or dislike. The problem now is that we are moving too fast. And don''t forget that I told you no sex till after the white wedding". Chen Lihua said seriously as she reminded him.


    Liu Longwei grunted, "I know, I won''t enter you. I just want to play for a while".


    As he finished speaking, he wanted to continue sucking on her breasts, but Chen Lihua stopped him with these words, "Why are you in a hurry? You''re still dressed while am already half naked, so it''s not fair enough".


    Liu Longwei chulcked as he teased her, "You should have told me long ago that you wanted to see me naked, I wouldn''t have in a way denied you of your right".


    "Who wants to see you naked?". Chen Lihua sneered, but still focused on him with kin interest as he removed his sleeping robe.


    With his sleeping robe now nowhere to be seen on his body, his firm chest and abs could be seen.


    He smiled in satisfaction as he watched how Chen Lihua ogled at his body.


    And without knowing, Chen Lihua reached out to trace his chest and abs.


    "What a firm and handsome body you''ve got. Your body is indeed fit and healthy. Your body is exactly the type that I like". Chen Lihua said with a smile as she traced his biceps as well.


    "Thank you. You can touch me as you like". Liu Longwei said with a smile as he held Chen Lihua''s hand and traced his body with it.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s eyes met, and their was a hint of love and longing in them.


    But what are they longing for. This is the question that only them knew the answer.


    After staring at each other for a while, they became consumed with passion.


    Liu Longwei kissed Chen Lihua lightly in the lips as he used his sexy eyes to seduce her. And Chen Lihua fell for it.


    From a light kiss to a passionate kiss. Liu Longwei rained kisses on her and Chen Lihua surpringly responded.


    They kissed for a while and before you know it, Chen Lihua was left only in her panties. If you ask her now, how she became like that, I doubt she would even be able to understand your question.


    Liu Longwei layed beside her as he stared at her table while before using his hand to caress her body.


    His hands moved from her breasts to her stomach, and then inside her panties. As his hands touched her forbidden area, Chen Lihua let out a loud moan without knowing and moved closer to Liu Longwei, such that her breasts were now touching his chest.


    Liu Longwei continued to rub her slowly as Chen Lihua couldn''t take it anymore, she moaned loudly and said, "Longwei stop, it''s painful and I can''t take it anymore".


    Liu Longwei said in a hoarse voice, "You have to relax, am only rubbing you, am not putting my finger inside you".


    "But am feeling a slight pain". Chen Lihua said as she moved even closer to him.


    Now, their bodies were now sticking together and she bit Liu Longwei on his chest. She moved restlessly on the bed.


    She felt so uncomfortable, it was as if her body wanted something and it was not getting what it wanted.


    When Liu Longwei saw her reaction, he started rubbing her at a faster rate. And so Chen Lihua moaned loudly as the whole odeal ended.


    Even after everything ended, Chen Lihua still couldn''t get herself. So Liu Longwei allowed her to relax for a while.


    After relaxing, Chen Lihua picked up her night gown and robe from the floor before making her way to the bathroom.


    She freshened up there before coming out. She then layed on the bed without looking or saying anything to Liu Longwei asked she was too embarrassed to do so.

 Chapter 108 - Chen Lihua was really embarrassed.

    She freshened up there before coming out. She then layed on the bed without looking or saying anything to Liu Longwei as she was too embarrassed to do so.


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself as he saw the way Chen Lihua covered herself with the blanket without even looking at him.


    He then looked down at his boxers and shook his head. That place was completely swollen and so he got up and went into the bathroom to settle himself.


    While he was rubbing himself, he felt that he was indeed foolish for inviting trouble for himself, and now that he was not satisfied, he had to bear the cross.


    Chen Lihua who layed on the bed and pretending to be asleep wasn''t comfortable at all, because she was not wearing her panties.


    This reason is because she washed it since it was wet out pleasure from the little make out session.


    But that didn''t not stop her feeling uncomfortable. This whole odeal came as a surprise to her because it was her first time experiencing that kind of pleasure missed with pain. It was as if she wasn''t satisfied and her body wanted something else.


    She thought she would have probably gone mad out of the pleasure mixed with pain if Liu Longwei didn''t increase his pace while rubbing her.


    As she remembered their little make out session earlier, she began to blush and started feeling uncomfortable down there, and so she started to move randomly on the bed.


    She didn''t know when Liu Longwei appeared and said to her while laying on the bed, "Are you uncomfortable, are you not satisfied, do you want me to continue?".


    At his words, Chen Lihua didn''t have a dreamy expression on her face anymore. Instead she turned her body to meet his gaze in anger. She glared at him as she complained annoyingly, "You still have the guts to tease me. If you didn''t do that thing to me, would I have been so miserable now?".


    Liu Longwei chulcked as he rubbed her face smoothly, "What did I do to you?".


    Chen Lihua hit his hand away from her face as she replied him, "You know what am talking about. You put your hand into my panties and then you....you....you touched me there".


    Chen Lihua finished that statement with a red face.


    Liu Longwei leaned over to peck her lips as he asked with a smile, "Tell me the truth, didn''t you like the way I touched you and how you felt when I was doing that?".


    "I....I..... Longwei stop asking me those naughty questions". Chen Lihua stammered before stopping him.


    Liu Longwei sighed, "OK. But I wish I could touch you more, I really want to do lots of crazy things to you. I want to make love to you".


    And with the last sentence, he started to fondle her breasts as she kissed her passionately. Chen Lihua had to struggle for a while before Liu Longwei agreed to release her.


    Chen Lihua looked up at him with a misty eyes, "Longwei you really have to wait till after our wedding, then you can have your way with me. If you continue like this, I doubt you''ll be able to hold it in, and am afraid you might rape me if this continues".


    Liu Longwei had a shocked expression on his face, but then he relaxed because he couldn''t blame her.


    He had in mind about Chen Lihua''s near rape experience, so he understood her worries very well, and so he explained, "I really won''t touch you anymore. But I want you to understand that I would never rape you, you''re my wife and so I would never hurt you that way. I will be able to control myself before I enter you.


    But if am already inside if you, I can''t promise that I would be able to to hold back".


    "Oh". Chen Lihua simply said before reaching out to hug him.


    Liu Longwei hugged her back as he chuckled bitterly to himself, ''This woman doesn''t know she''s tempting me''.


    Liu Longwei didn''t hug her for too long before releasing her from his embrace before telling her gently, "Go to sleep".


    And then he gave her a peck on her forehead while saying, "Goodnight, sweet dreams".


    Chen Lihua replied as well, "Goodnight to you too and sweet dreams as well".


    As they slept, there was an appropriate space between them. They two slept till the next morning.


    Chen Lihua was the first to wake up. As she couldn''t move her body, she looked on sleepily before realizing that she was in Liu Longwei''s arms.


    Then, she froze for a minute before she managed to get herself out of his arms in a hurry.


    Now, she had an embarrassing look on her face after she had escaped from his arms.


    And then she started to recall what happened yesterday. From the make out session, the kisses, the touch, and the pleasure she felt, her face turned bright red. And as she was too embarrassed, she didn''t even turn to take a second glance at Liu Longwei before rushing out of his room for her own.


    Immediately she left and the door closed behind her, Liu Longwei opened his eyes. He was indeed surprised at Chen Lihua''s sudden behavior this early in the morning.


    He began to wonder if that was how she behaved in the morning, or maybe she was in a hurry to get something.


    He finally shook his head as he got of the bed and left for the bathroom to freshen up. As he brushed his teeth, he looked at his long hair from the mirror while wondering if he should get a hair cut today.


    At last he made a decision to ask his wife for her opinion to see if she would want him to keep the long hair, or maybe get a haircut.


    He really trusted that Chen Lihua''s opinion would be the best, and so will do whatever she says about the hair.


    So, after brushing his teeth, he took a shower before wrapping his bathrobe around his body, and then walking into the walk-in closet.

 Chapter 109 - Good morning wife, how was your night?.

    So, after brushing his teeth, he took a shower before wrapping his bathrobe around his body, and then walking into the walk-in closet.


    Liu Longwei was really surprised when he took a good look at the walk-in closet.


    To tell you the truth, he was actually shocked beyond measures.


    He saw the clothes, ties, shoes, cuff links and Wristwatches Chen Lihua got him. He was really amazed since he wasn''t expecting this surprise, and because he came back late and so didn''t bother to take note of the difference in his walk-in closet since all that was going through his mind was just to have a good rest.


    When he told Chen Lihua to buy him new clothes, he thought that she would actually buy like three suits at most.


    So right now, he was actually surprised and happy that she not only bought 10 suits and three other casual wears, but also bought different types of shoes, ties, cuff links, etc to accompany them.


    And when he looked at all the stuffs she bought for him, he discovered that all of then were from high and well known brand as some if his clothes were from the same brand.


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself as he checked out on everything Chen Lihua bought for him.


    He decided to pick out one of the clothes she bought for him to wear.


    After Chen Lihua rushed to her room, she closed her door with a red face. Taking a deep breath, she went into her bathroom to brush her teeth.


    Then instead of taking a shower, she had a bath to shake off those thoughts and memories that were already crowding in her head.


    After having a relaxing bath, she dressed herself in a comfortable sleeveless long shirt, and paired it up with a leggings.


    Then she combed her hair in a side patting. It really took her a lot of effort to to comb her black waist long hair.


    Even after she got dressed, she still didn''t leave her room.


    As Chen finished dressing, he went downstairs to have his breakfast. And as he approached the dinning table, he couldn''t see any shadow that seems to belong to Chen Lihua, and so he asked the servants if they had seen her, but the gave a negative answer.


    Liu Longwei thought it was not a big deal as he sat on the chair while he waited for Chen Lihua asked he was thinking that she could still be dressing up.


    But his thoughts changed when he didn''t see her after ten minutes, as he began to wonder what was keeping her.


    As he was about standing up to go and call her, a sudden thought came to his head.


    ''Maybe she''s still embarrassed about what happened between us yesterday''.


    So he gestured to a maid to come to him. So when the maid came, he instructed her to go to Chen Lihua''s room and check up on her, "Go upstairs and check on my wife to see what is keeping her".


    As the maid turned to leave in order to carry out his instructions, Liu Longwei said, "And tell her I asked her to come down for breakfast as the food won''t be served in the room".


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself after the maid left as he has blocked all possible excuses that Chen Lihua would give in other not to have breakfast with him.


    Chen Lihua was sitting on her bed and thinking of how she would avoid Liu Longwei for the day when a knock sounded on her door.


    "Ma''am it''s me. Sir asked me to check on yoh and find out what has been delaying you. He also said that your should come down for  breakfast as it wouldn''t be served in the room".


    When Chen Lihua heard these words, she almost collapsed. But she managed to compose herself well enough and sent the servant away with an "OK, tell him I''ll be there shortly,  you can leave".


    After the servant left, Chen Lihua layed on the bed with her back. She puffed out a sigh before saying to herself as rubbed her stomach through her clothes, "If I wasn''t so hungry, I wouldn''t even bother going downstairs to have breakfast".


    Chen Lihua sighed as she stood up from the bed. Next, she straightened her clothes before making her way downstairs.


    After the maid finished reporting back to Liu Longwei, it didn''t even take up to five minutes time before Chen Lihua walked into the dining room.


    As Liu Longwei was drinking a glass of water before she came, he had to look up at her as he dropped the glass cup on the table.


    Without making any eye contact with him, Chen Lihua greeted him, "Good morning", before choosing to sit down on three chairs after his seat,  as she didn''t want to seat close to him or directly opposite him, so as not to be too close to him or to meet his gaze.


    Liu Longwei replied to her greetings, "Good morning wife, how was your night?".


    Chen Lihua looked up at him to meet his gaze. Then seeming as if she had made a mistake, she quickly lowered her head and answered, "I had a nice sleep".


    Liu Longwei nodded in acknowledgement, but since Chen Lihua had her head lowered, she didn''t see it, and she couldn''t be even more bothered about his reply.


    Throughout the time they had their breakfast, Chen Lihua had her head lowered, not even meeting his gaze.


    Now that they had finished their breakfast, Liu Longwei couldn''t hold it in anymore, so he said to her with a sly smile, "Lihua, I''ve noticed that since this morning, you haven''t looked at me properly. Even while eating, you had your head lowered as you ate, and as a result of that, you almost buried you face into the food in the name of avoiding to look at me".


    Chen Lihua then looked at him and said embarrassingly, "Can''t you tell that am embarrassed? I don''t know about you, but I feel that way. It feels akward for me to look at you after we did those bad things last night".

 Chapter 110 - Meeting with the officiant.

    Chen Lihua then looked at him and said embarrassingly, "Can''t you tell that am embarrassed? I don''t know about you, but I feel that way. It feels akward for me to look at you after we did those bad things last night".


    Liu Longwei had an amused expression on his face as he asked, "What bad things did we do? I only touched my wife, so what''s the bad thing in it".


    Chen Lihua was speechless for a while before saying softly, "Forget it. Am sure you had fun last night because I can see the look on your face, but I won''t let you touch me again till after the wedding. You almost Les me into temptation last night".


    "Are you insinuating that you enjoyed our little make out?". Liu Longwei really got her on this one.


    Chen Lihua''s face was red in embarrassment, so she stood up from the chair to go upstairs. As she was walking away, she said to him, "So what if I enjoyed it,  you annoying human being".


    Liu Longwei laughed out loud and said behind her, "There''s nothing to be embarrassed about, you could have just told me last night, so I could bring you into the realm of pleasure".


    On seeing that she was walking away to fast, Liu Longwei said hurriedly, "Get your phone and any important thing you need, we are going out together".


    Chen Lihua couldn''t be bothered anymore with him. She went into her bedroom to get her little Emoticon bag. She put all the necessary things in it before leaving with it, and also not forgetting to style her hair in a big doughnut.


    Downstairs, in the living room, Liu Longwei was already waiting for her.


    Seeing that she has come out, he stood up and gestured to her to go outside.


    With the female at the front and the male following behind her, they went outside to the entrance of the house to see an already parked sports car waiting for them.


    And guess the the name if the sports car, It is the latest Bugatti chiron, which cost about €1,400,000. Even Chen Lihua marveled at the sight.


    She let out a ''Wow'' before quickly to the car. But because of the ethics which she learnt from Lady Chen, she didn''t go about touching the car like a village girl.


    She smiled brightly as she turned to look at Liu Longwei while giving him a compliment, "The car is pretty. And now I can conclude that you have a high taste when it has to do with cars. You really know your way about".


    Liu Longwei completely agreed with her with a smile on his face, "If course, I really have a thing for car collection. Don''t tell me you haven''t seen the underground parking garage. If you have seen it, I bet you wouldn''t be surprised to see this car".


    "I''ve not actually had the time to take a look at the underground garage because I''ve been very busy with work and our wedding plans". Chen Lihua explained.


    "No problem about that, you can always see the garage whenever you want to. Now let''s go". Liu Longwei said as he entered the car.


    Chen Lihua entered the car. She only relaxed after she had secured the seat belt.


    She became excited as she looked at the interior. She couldn''t help but to say, "I don''t think I''ve seen anyone with a high taste like you apart from my mom".


    "Thanks for the compliment". Liu Longwei said as he ignited the car and then drive off.


    Chen Lihua looked through the side view mirror and not seeing any car following them, she asked, "Your bodyguards are not following you today?, that''s weird".


    "Our bodyguards and not my bodyguards alone". Liu Longwei corrected her before explaining, "We don''t need them for now. But they would meet with us when they should".


    "OK. Where are we going?". Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "Going for a haircut since you said I should cut my hair since it could still grow back to this length". Liu Longwei said.


    Actually, Chen Lihua told him that since he asked her about the hair before they left the living room to go outside.


    Chen Lihua asked surpringly, "Just for a haircut? Then what am I doing in your car?".


    Liu Longwei turned to look at her so he could see the look in her face before answering her, but Chen Lihua stopped him as he turned to look at her.


    "You''d better not turn to look at me as long as you are driving at that speed. Or do you want to kill us even before our wedding ceremony?".


    "OK ma''am". Liu Longwei said, completely agreeing with her, before switching back to the main topic.


    "We could also see the officiant since he wants to see us. You can call your mom now, so she could help us book an appointment today if possible".


    "OK". Chen Lihua said as she picked up her phone and started dialing Lady Chen''s number.


    When Lady Chen picked up the call, Chen Lihua first greeted her, "Hello mom. Longwei and I actually want to meet with the Officiant. Could you help us book an appointment today?".


    Lady Chen responded to her greetings before saying, "Hello. You two should have called me a day or two days before this to book an appointment for you. You just have to pray you''re lucky if he''s around. I will call you back after I''ve spoken with him".


    "Thank you mom". Chen Lihua said and Lady Chen replied with, "You''re welcome", before terminating the call.


    Chen Lihua sighed after the call, and so Liu Longwei asked, "What happened?". And so Chen Lihua told him about the call.


    Liu Longwei could only say, "Even if we aren''t able to see him today, there''s still tomorrow and any other day".


    Chen Lihua could only agree with him.


    Before they reached the exclusive barbing saloon, Lady Chen called Chen Lihua to tell her that they were lucky as the priest would be able to see them in four hours time.


    Chen Lihua thanked her happily before before ending the call. She then said to Liu Longwei, "Mother has made an appointment already. So we would be able to see the priest in four hours time. She also said that she would txt us the address as she has already informed the priest of our visit".

 Chapter 111 - A beautiful and well matched couple.

    Chen Lihua thanked her happily before before ending the call. She then said to Liu Longwei, "Mother has made an appointment already. So we would be able to see the priest in four hours time. She also said that she would text us the address as she has already informed the priest of our visit".


    "OK that''s good". Liu Longwei replied as he focused on driving.


    Few minutes later, he shook his head as he slowed down the speed of the car. Then he turned to look at Chen Lihua, "Lihua are you not seeing any difference in me today?".


    Chen Lihua was taken aback by the question, and so, she looked at him for a moment before asking, "I don''t see any difference, so could you please tell me?".


    Liu Longwei was surprised, "Are you trying to tell me that you haven''t noticed the outfit am wearing?".


    It was then that Chen Lihua looked down at him, and there, she noticed that the outfit he was putting on, was one of the outfits she bought for him.


    She had an apologetic expression on her face as she said, "Am sorry I didn''t notice because I was only looking at your face. But looking at you now, I can say that you look more young and handsome in this outfit".


    "Thank you. But you not being able to notice my outfit even why looking at me, I have to say that it''s weird for someone like you with an IQ of 200 and above". Liu Longwei said with a serious expression on his face.


    Chen Lihua cleared her throat softly, "It''s not actually like that, it''s just that I had no interest, and I didn''t need to survey you like you''re a criminal, so I let my guard down. But this doesn''t have anything to do with my IQ".


    "As you say. But you really have to pay attention to me because am your husband, because if you don''t, then I wonder who you would pay attention to". Liu Longwei said proudly.


    Chen Lihua had a smile on her face as she said to him, "Believe me, you wouldn''t like it if I paid much attention to you because I would say whatever that comes to my mind".


    "OK, but I would love to hear your compliments and opinions from time to time".


    Liu Longwei said comprimisingly.


    "No problem about that because you have my word on it". Chen Lihua said with a smile and Liu Longwei nodded in response.


    They got to the barbing saloon in some minutes later.


    Inside the exclusive barbing saloon, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were led to the VIP section.


    In the VIP section, every VIP customer was entitled to his own barbing room.


    In Liu Longwei''s VIP room, Chen Lihua sat down on a comfy chair. She picked up a magazine on Men''s hair styles to read. While Liu Longwei was ushered to sit on the chair facing the mirror to get his haircut done.


    Before the barber started cutting his hair, Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua to choose a hairstyle for him.


    Chen Lihua was really happy, and so she gladly helped him to pick a hairstyle from the magazine she was going through.


    When Liu Longwei saw the hairstyle Chen Lihua picked for him, he smiled, "The hair style is fine, and it would fit me, thank you".


    Chen Lihua said with a smug smile, "You''re welcome. You really have to trust me when it comes to fashion since am a model and have been in the runway for a long time".


    "Then I will have to entrust myself to you". Liu Longwei said to her before turning to the barber and instructed him to go ahead with the hairstyle Chen Lihua picked for him.


    The barber picked up his scissors and Liu Longwei''s personal cliper to get started on his work.


    You can say that he really knows his work because he is one of the best male hairstylist in City B.


    Chen Lihua watched the hand movements of the barber. She found out that his hand movements were swift. And this is to show you that he was indeed a pro.


    Chen Lihua really admired people that are very good with their work. So with a smile on her lips, she continued going through the magazine.


    When Liu Longwei finished with his hair, he stood up and as he admired himself in the mirror. Then turned to look at Chen Lihua with a smile, "Wife how do I look?".


    Now the barber''s doubt have been cleared because when Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua walked in together, and even when Chen Lihua chose a hairstyle for Liu Longwei, he found it weird. As it was the first time Liu Longwei came to this place with a female companion.


    And now he heard Liu Longwei call her wife, his doubts were now cleared. But he still looked surprised as he didn''t know that Liu Longwei was married.


    And now seeing Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei together, he finally knew who Chen Lihua''s husband was.


    So he respected himself and stood at a place.


    Hearing Liu Longwei''s question, Chen Lihua raised her head to look at him. Ignoring what he called her, she answered him, "You look good".


    Liu Longwei then nodded with a smile. He confirmed his payment and left with Chen Lihua to go and visit their Officiating priest.


    When they got to the Church, the secretary ushered them into the Priest office after their appointment was confirmed.


    When they entered the office, what met their eyes was an ederly Priest who was sitting down and reading a book comfortably.


    They both greeted the Priest respectfully, and they priest welcomed them with a smile.


    He asked them sit down, and after they sat down, the next word that came out from his mouth was, "What a beautiful and well matched couple, God bless you both".


    They both thanked him appreciating as they waited for him to continue.


    "Mrs Chen told me that you are her daughter and you will be getting married soon and she wanted me to be the officiating priest. Am I right?".


    They both nodded in affirmation.


    "Good. Before any Priest officiates a wedding, some teachings have to be thought to the couples getting married. So, I will fix three classes for you. If there''s no hindrance, three visits are enough for the classes to be over.


    Two classes will be seperated and in the last class you two will be together".

 Chapter 112 - Entranced and drawn into confusion.

    "Good. Before any Priest officiates a wedding, some teachings have to be thought to the couples getting married. So, I will fix three classes for you. If there''s no hindrance, three visits are enough for the classes to be over.


    Two classes will be seperated and in the last class you two will be together". The priest explained.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua nodded in agreement. Even if they didn''t have the time, they still had to make out time as this was their wedding that was being talked about, and so they have to do everything possible for their wedding to run smoothly.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei only left after the priest talked a little to them about marriage and relationships.


    On their way home, Chen Lihua saw through the car''s side view mirror, a car following them from a little distance, and she recognized the car.


    So she said to Liu Longwei with her normal melodious voice, "I can see the bodyguards following us. But how did they find us?".


    Liu Longwei smiled and turned to look at her before bringing his view back to the road, "All my cars have tracking system installed in them".


    Chen Lihua nodded and said softly, "No wonder. I actually had that assumption, but I wanted to confirm from you in other to satiate my curiosity".


    Liu Longwei looked at her proudly as he praised her, "Now I know why you''re so special. You don''t just have a high IQ, if fact you''re unique. People with high IQ''s have a disadvantage, and that is, they tend to rely only on their intuition, which may at times be wrong. But you not just rely on your intuition, but also good at analytical thinking".


    "Well thank you for the wonderful compliment". Chen Lihua said with a bright smile.


    "Turn towards your left". Chen Lihua said suddenly.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know the reason behind that, but he still listened to her.


    But that didn''t end there as Chen Lihua continued to direct him.


    It''s not like Liu Longwei couldn''t take it anymore, it''s just that he was now very curious to know where she wanted to go.


    "Where are you going to, and can you tell me the address so at least you won''t need to stress yourself".


    Chen Lihua had an embarrased look on her face as she explained, "Am going to an Ice-cream and desert store. But the problem is that I don''t know the address, but I know the direction".


    Liu Longwei had a smug smile as he said, "Oh". But he still continued to listen to her as she directed him till they got to the place.


    Liu Longwei parked the sports car at the parking lot and followed after Chen Lihua.


    As they walked side by side to the store, Liu Longwei asked, "We are here to buy deserts?.


    "Kind of. I want to buy some deserts. And because I like their deserts, I would love to have them in our wedding reception. So am also here to book". Chen Lihua said with a satisfied smile.


    "I can see how much you like these deserts. OK, let''s go in". Liu Longwei said as he followed behind her.


    The sensor door opened and they went in together. Liu Longwei helped to pull a seat out for Chen Lihua before sitting opposite her.


    Chen Lihua appreciated his care, and so she said her thanks before picking up the menu on the table to go through.


    And because Liu Longwei didn''t feel comfortable sitting down and watching Chen Lihua go through the menu without him, he decided to stand up from his seat, to sit beside her as they tables in the shop had four chairs each surrounding them.


    Chen Lihua looked up from the menu in her hands as she stared at him. Then without saying anything, she continued going through the menu.


    Flipping to the next page, Liu Longwei leaned closer to her in other for him to see what she was looking at.


    Chen Lihua seeing that he was not comfortable enough, bright the menu to his view, so he could see it comfortably from his seat.


    After some time, he asked when he wasn''t sensing any movement from her.


    "You''ve been flipping through the ten pages of this menu for a while now, and without making any order. Are you confused?".


    Chen Lihua admitted to his words immediately, "Am actually confused because there are so many pretty deserts to look at, and so I don''t know what to choose. It''s not like I can stomach all of them".


    Liu Longwei looked at the menu again as he said, "Mmm it''s really difficult to choose between pretty things, as you would be entranced and drawn into confusion".


    Who knows what he actually had in my mind when he said those things. For me, I think he was talking about how he was entranced and drawn into confusion be Chen Lihua.


    But trust Chen Lihua, her high IQ was not for fancy as she could read inbetween his words.


    As it was a rare chance for her to show off her beauty, she wouldn''t let this opportunity slip through her fingers.


    So she closed the menu and dropped it on the table. Then with a smug smile on her face and a hand to support her jaw, she looked at Liu Longwei eye ball to eye ball as she asked, "My head is currently filled with the pictures of the deserts I''ve just seen, and it has slowed down my Brain''s assimilation. So on this note, could you please elaborate on your words right now. And don''t try to lie to me because my brain is now active to process your words".


    Liu Longwei stared at her in disbelief. ''Her brain wasn''t active when I said those words earlier. But now she wants me to explain my words, her brain becomes active. Does she think I have a low IQ?. If her head is filled with pictures of deserts, then my head is filled with business plans".

 Chapter 113 - When will you confess your love to me? .

    Liu Longwei stared at her in disbelief. ''Her brain wasn''t active when I said those words earlier. But now she wants me to explain my words, her brain becomes active. Does she think I have a low IQ?. If her head is filled with pictures of deserts, then my head is filled with business plans''.


    But nevertheless, he still answered her, "Am talking about you". Before taking the menu from the table to cover his face, in pretence that he was going through the menu.


    Chen Lihua smiled mischievously. She then pushed the menu away from his face in other to see the kind of expression he had on his face.


    But what greeted her sight was a a blushing face. Chen Lihua wasn''t expecting this. At first she thought she wasn''t seeing well, so she took the menu from him and then his full blushing face came to view.


    Chen Lihua smiled and asked, "Are you embarrassed?".


    "How can I be embarrassed?". Liu Longwei denied immediately.


    Chen Lihua gave a sly smile as she asked, "So if you''re not embarrassed, then can I take it that you''re tripping for my beauty?".


    Liu Longwei cleared his throat before looking at Chen Lihua with a serious face.


    If you were there, I bet you would be shocked at the pace Liu Longwei changed his facial expression.


    "Lihua am not up for your tricks. Yes am tripping for your beauty, and I don''t see anything wrong with it. But I don''t just like your beauty, I like you because you are ''Chen Lihua''. So you see?".


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding before she asked, "So you''re confessing your fondness for me?".


    Liu Longwei nodded in affirmation and Chen Lihua asked him another shocking question.


    "When will you confess your love to me?".


    The moment this question left her mouth, it became one of the worst questions Chen Lihua had regretted ever asking.


    Liu Longwei was touching his jaw when the shocking question was asked, and so he paused in his action in surprise.


    Liu Longwei leaned in close to her and then lowered his voice as he said, "You have really taken me by surprise. Why are you in a hurry?". If you keep talking like this, I don''t think you would be able to stop me from what I want to do".


    Chen Lihua could feel his breath on her ears, so she leaned her body away from him, "Please do me a favour by forgetting that I asked that question".


    "How could I not do my Queen the favour, of course I would. So what do you want to eat?".


    Liu Longwei said with a smile as he compromised.


    Chen Lihua was glad in her heart. And before she could call a waiter that was passing by, a waitress hurriedly walked to her and asked with a smile of infactuation, "Good afternoon Dr Chen, what would you like to order today?".


    Then the waitress politely nodded to Liu Longwei in greeting before returning her infactuation gaze to Chen Lihua.


    The waitress was the same person that served Chen Lihua a month and a week ago.


    When she went home that day, age browsed everything about Chen Lihua on the internet.


    She found out how great of a person Chen Lihua is. She discovered about Chen Lihua''s career and Marriage.


    So now, you could say she had the most current information on Chen Lihua as of now.


    "Good afternoon young lady". Chen Lihua greeted the waitress with a smile before looking at Liu Longwei to ask, "What would you like?".


    "I don''t like sweet things, so I will pass". Liu Longwei explained.


    "Are you sure?". Chen Lihua verified.


    Liu Longwei nodded and said, "But a bottle of slightly chilled water will do".


    Chen Lihua then turned to the waitress with a smile as she ordered, "I want a big sized plate of ice-cream, two meat pies and and a bottle of cool water. Then you can call your manager or the owner of this place for me. That''s all, thanks".


    The waitress bowed and left with a smile.


    "Can you finish everything you just ordered now?". Liu Longwei asked with a look of surprise.


    "We would see about that later". Chen Lihua answered with a smirk on her face.


    The waitress was really efficient in getting their order because she came back 3 minutes later.


    This is to show you the kind of effort she put in for her idol.


    After serving, she told Chen Lihua that the owner of the shop was not around. But as she had put a call to him, he would be back in ten minutes time.


    Chen Lihua nodded and said, "No problem", Before the waitress left.


    Liu Longwei unscrewed the cap of the bottle water and poured some of the content into a glass cup. Then he drank some of it as he watched Chen Lihua open the plate of ice-cream and start to devour it.


    She really had a satisfied smile as she savoured the vanilla ice-cream. Then she picked up one of the meatpie''s and took a bite from it. Then as she chewed the content in her mouth, she closed her eyes as she nodded with a smile.


    After chewing, she picked up her spoon to take three spoonful of the ice-cream before she looked up at Liu Longwei without a widened eyeballs as if she just discovered that she was not alone.


    Then with an embarrased smile, she asked, "The ice-cream is sweet and the meat pie is mouthwatering. Are you sure you don''t want to taste them?".


    "I don''t like sweet things, and I don''t need my mouth to be watering anymore since I have my water. So, thanks for asking". Liu Longwei said as he raised his glass of water towards her before drinking from it.


    "The deserts are healthy. Come on, just take a spoon". Chen Lihua said as she scooped a spoon of ice-cream and brought it close to his lips.


    Liu Longwei shook his head in rejection, but Chen Lihua continued to cajole him, "I thought I was irresistible to you. So why are you not listening to me, does this mean that you''ve been lying to me?".

 Chapter 114 - Wedding rings.

    Liu Longwei shook his head in rejection, but Chen Lihua continued to cajole him, "I thought I was irresistible to you. So why are you not listening to me, does this mean that you''ve been lying to me?".


    Liu Longwei didn''t even have the time and energy to bicker with her, so he lowered his head to lick the ice-cream she was giving to him.


    When Chen Lihua saw that he had finally agreed and lowered his head, she brought the spoon closer to his lips, and he opened his mouth to lick the ice-cream.


    So Chen Lihua personally fed the ice-cream to him without bothering about her surrounding.


    "Is it nice?". She asked after Liu Longwei finished licking the ice-cream.


    "Mmmhh". Liu Longwei answered.


    "If it''s nice, then you really need to have another bite". Chen Lihua said as she scooped up another spoon of ice-cream for him.


    Liu Longwei stared at her for a moment with a smile on his face before bending to lick the ice-cream from her.


    Seeing that he was so cooperative, Chen Lihua smiled and gave him the other meat pie that was still wrapped.


    "I don''t want it, am OK". Liu Longwei said in rejection.


    Chen Lihua didn''t agree with him as she tried to convince him.


    "I would feel bad if am eating while you''re not eating anything and just watching me, so just have it".


    Liu Longwei''s lips curled up in a smile. He tapped the table with his fingers. He was really happy and satisfied within him that Chen Lihua cared for him.


    "But you bought it for yourself".


    "No, I actually bought it for you". Chen Lihua explained with a smile.


    Liu Longwei raised his brows and with a bright smile on his face, he said, "So you''ve already planned to force me to eat with you, and that was the reason you bought this quantity of ice-cream and two meat pies. Well thanks for your consideration".


    "You''re welcome". Chen Lihua said as she handed the meat pie to him.


    Liu Longwei took the meatpie from her and took a bite from it.


    As everything was settled now, Chen Lihua called for a waiter to get another ice-cream spoon.


    Liu Longwei hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth as he asked in surprise, "I thought you were happy and contented with us sharing a spoon?".


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly and replied, "If we continue sharing a spoon for this big ice-cream, it will melt, and then I don''t think we would leave any time soon".


    Liu Longwei nodded in understanding and so took the spoon Chen Lihua gave to him, while Chen Lihua took the new spoon a waiter brought.


    When they were done with their food, Liu Longwei poured a glass of water for himself, and then Chen Lihua looked at him with wide eyes, "What are trying to do?".


    "Am trying to drink water". Liu Longwei answered without pausing in his movements.


    Chen Lihua took the bottle water from him and covered. Then she pushed the bottle water and glass cup to the other end of the table, totally away from him.


    "How can you think of drinking water when you just finished eating a delicacy? You will spoil everything. Just allow your stomach to work on the delicious food before using water to rush down the sugar".


    "What mechanism of action is that? Who taught you that?". Liu Longwei asked as he laughed.


    "Your stomach''s has digestive enzymes that would work on the food for digestion to take place. And I taught myself that. How can you drink water immediately after licking ice-cream, you will spoil the taste, after drinking water now, you wouldn''t even feel as if you just finished licking ice-cream". Chen Lihua explained thoughtfully.


    Liu Longwei gave her a thumbs up, but he no longer requested for the water.


    Just as they finished, they owner and the manager of the shop/restaurant came in. With the way they came in, anybody that saw them would know that they were in a hurry.


    When they came in, they scanned the room with their eyes, and when the Owner of the restaurant saw Liu Longwei, he widened his eyes in shock, and a look of surprise swept pass his face.


    Then together with the manager, they walked hurriedly to Liu Longwei to greet him.


    "Good day CEO liu". The Owner and the manager greeted Liu Longwei and Liu Longwei with his poker face nodded at them.


    Chen Lihua raised her head when she heard the unfamiliar voices of the two men.


    Seeing Liu Longwei''s poker face, they men became nervous as they didn''t seem to know how they had offended him with just a simple greeting. But it was then that they noticed the Gorgeous woman sitting beside him.


    They stared at Chen Lihua in awe. Then recognizing her as Lady Chen''s daughter, they greeted her with a warm smile.


    Before coming, the waitress already informed them that Chen Lihua was looking for them, so now they''ve seen her, they had to invite her to the office to know what her request was.


    Chen Lihua would have rejected their request to discuss in the office. But when she looked around the restaurant, she found out that it wasn''t conducive to discuss, so she made an eye contact with Liu Longwei, and so they followed them into the office.


    In the office, the owner/CEO of the restaurant apologized for having kept the waiting as he went to inspect a new location with the current manager of the store.


    His apology was well accepted by Chen Lihua asked she smiled graciously. And then she brought up the matter of the deserts.


    She told them that she wanted some of their delicious deserts and different flavors of ice-cream for her wedding reception.


    They owner and the manager left their mouths wide opened in shock. As it was now that they found out the relationship between Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua.


    In fact, they were beyond shocked as they had never received or seen anything more shocking than the situation they were in now.


    ''What a perfect match!!!!''.


    When the Owner of the store got himself, he asked Chen Lihua the type and quantity of deserts and ice-cream she wanted.


    Chen Lihua told them that she would get back to them when their wedding guest list was finalized.


    After their discussions came to an end, they owner and manager escorted them to their car after him Chen Lihua a small booklet that contained the names and pictures of delicies their store had.


    "We are going to select our wedding rings now", Liu Longwei told Chen Lihua after they got into the car.

 Chapter 115 - Mr and Mrs Liu.

    "We are going to select our wedding rings now", Liu Longwei told Chen Lihua after they got into the car.


    "Now?". Chen Lihua asked obviously confused.


    "Yeah. Tiffany and Co will send some representatives, so we can choose the designs and quality of our wedding rings". Liu Longwei explained seriously.


    "So they are coming to the house. That''s good then, it saves me the time and energy to move about because am tired". Chen Lihua said as she sighed in relief.


    "mmmhhh, I knew you would be satisfied with this arrangement. When you have money, power and status, then you wouldn''t have a problem because you would have the ability to command things to happen. It''s just that I don''t understand you, you clearly have all these qualities, but yet you don''t use them".


    Liu Longwei said with a look of astonishment.


    "I guess that''s the way I am. But am trying to change a bit because, this new position I have as your wife would make me very interested the limelight often, and also the identity of the Chen family''s young mistress I guess. So sometimes, you have to adjust your habits to every situation you find yourself in, and that''s what I have to do". Chen Lihua explained.


    When Liu Longwei drove into their compound, Chen Lihua sighed in relief and said, "Finally!", before removing her seatbelt and coming out from the car. She then noticed a company car parked in the compound. She glanced at the car before moving to stand on one side.


    Instead if walking off alone, she stood by the side as she waited for Liu Longwei to turn off the engine and join her.


    When Liu Longwei came out from the car, he passed the car keys to one of the bodyguards'' before catching Chen Lihua''s gaze. But instead of saying something, he just smiled q ND walked into the house with her.


    They two walked into the house together, and only for them to meet a male and two females in a cooperate attire, waiting for them.


    These people stood up and greeted Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei respectfully once they saw them enter the anteroom.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei accepted their greetings and asked them to follow them to the living room.


    After Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei sat down, they three of them then sat down and introduced themselves.


    The male had a respectful smile on his face as he introduced himself and the Two ladies with him.


    "Sorry to disturb your rest Mr and Mrs Liu. I am Dennis, the manager of Tiffany & Co in City B. We are here to show you the design samples of the rings we have, and to see which one catches your eyes".


    ''Mr and Mrs Liu?'', Chen Lihua asked herself. She felt weird as no one had ever addressed her in that manner, not even her own mother who loved to pull her legs everytime she got the opportunity ever addressed her that way.


    ''This man has a glib tongue''. That was what went through chen Lihua''s mind when the manager was talking.


    As she listened to the young man of 30 years and above talk, and at the same time, Chen Lihua sized him up and down. She concluded that the man really knew fashion and was able compose himself and speak fluently in English, and that was what drew her attention to him even more.


    Next, her eyes moved to the two ladies who had been quite since they came and holding a travel luggage in their grasp.


    Then she focused her attention back on the Mr Dennis.


    From the corner of his eyes, Liu Longwei observed all of Chen Lihua''s movements as he understood her body language well enough.


    He saw the way Chen Lihua reacted when she they were addresed as Mr and Mrs Liu. So, he chuckled to himself and then lowered his head to her ear and spoke seductively to her, "Don''t worry, you will get used to your new status very soon". Then he paused and finished his sentence, "Mrs Liu".


    As Chen Lihua felt uncomfortable by his words and his warm breath that landed on her ears, she turned her neck to push him away since he didn''t bulge when she rubbed her ear with her shoulder in discomfort.


    And as Chen Lihua turned her neck in a fast motion, to glare at him, her lips collided with his lips. And at this moment, time stopped for them.


    Chen Lihua widened her eyes in shock and astonishment. Honestly, she wasn''t expecting this to happen in any way or form at all.


    At first, Liu Longwei was surprised, but since he was good at concealing his feelings, his eyes turned from a surprised glint to a mischievous glint within seconds and Chen Lihua missed that sight as she was too shocked to notice it.


    Seeing how shocked she was, a playful glint flashed pass his eyes as he nibbled on her lips, before gently holding the back of her neck and kissing her deeply.


    When Chen Lihua recovered herself, it was already too late to stop him since he had already achieved what he wanted.


    But suddenly remembering that they were not alone, Chen Lihua frowned in embarrassment as she pushed him away.


    Then she glared at him before turning to look at the people sitting opposite of them.


    The two ladies had their heads lowered in embarrassment, while the manager coughed lightly to hide his own embarrassment.


    Having felt Chen Lihua''s gaze on him, the manager raised his head to look at her with a proffesional smile on his face as he made a comment, "Wow! It seems like Mr and Mrs Liu are so much in love with each other".


    If only the manager knew, he wouldn''t have made this comment. Because maybe, Chen Lihua wouldn''t have left feeling embarrassed.


    Sure enough after hearing that comment from the Mr Dennis, Chen Lihua stared daggers at Liu Longwei before standing up to leave.

 Chapter 116 - Showing a little love.

    If only the manager knew, he wouldn''t have made this comment. Because maybe, Chen Lihua wouldn''t have left feeling embarrassed.


    Sure enough after hearing that comment from the Mr Dennis, Chen Lihua stared daggers at Liu Longwei before standing up to leave.


    As Chen Lihua stood up to leave, Liu Longwei suddenly held one of her hands in other to stop her. Buy Chen Lihua fixed her piercing gaze on him, then she rolled her eyes at him.


    Seeing that she was really angry, Liu Longwei chuckkled bitterly to himself before letting her go, and Chen Lihua stomped off angrily.


    "Oh! Oh!" Mr Dennis said as he looked at Chen Lihua''s fading back amen then at Liu Longwei who was still looking towards the direction his wife stomped off to.


    Then Mr Dennis said with a courteous smile in other not to annoy Liu Longwei, "Mr Liu am sorry, seems like my words has sent Madam Liu away".


    Liu Longwei then retracted his gaze and focused it on Mr Dennis with a neutral smile on his face as he said, "You don''t need to bother about it. She would have still left even if you didn''t say anything. Your words were just an opportunity for her to leave".


    "Oh!". Mr Dennis said understandinly. Then still with a courteous smile on his face, he asked, "Mr Liu sinece madam Liu has left, how would she select the design for the rings?".


    "With the way she left, do you think she would still be interested in looking at the designs? Forget it". Liu Longwei said as he sighed.


    Having heard him, Mr Dennis shifted uncomfortably on the sofa as he asked himself, ''Then what am I still doing here?''.


    Liu Longwei seemed to understand what was going through his mind as he gave him a piercing look.


    Mr Dennis became scared that his thoughts were seen through by Liu Longwei, so he forced a smile, but his smile was too ugly and fake that the two ladies sitting beside him, looked at him with a weird gaze, talk more of Liu Longwei who was already beginning to frown. And hence, Mr Dennis retracted his smile in pieces without knowing what to do.


    "If you''re still interested in doing business, then leave your design booklets behind and send someone to come and retrieve it tomorrow with the designs we''ve chosen". Liu Longwei said coldly before standing up.


    Hearing his cold words, Mr Dennis shivered slightly. Then seeing that Liu Longwei has stood up, totally ending the conversation, He followed suit with the two robot ladies beside him in a standing ovation.


    Then he took the ring design magazines from the ladies, and then with a fawning smile, turned to Liu Longwei and handed then over to him saying, "No problem Mr Liu. I will personally come to retrieve them tomorrow.


    You just need to give me a call whenever you''re free and I will come to your doorstep".


    Liu Longwei finally eazed the frown on his face a little as he took the magazines from him. Then said called for one if the bodyguard''s to send then out before he walked away to find his wife.


    Outside the house, Mr Dennis and his two assistants got into the the company car and began to chatter about.


    One of the ladies who was on the shorter side said with a frown on her face, "Why did Mr Liu direct his annoyance at us? We obviously did nothing wrong to him".


    "Shut up!". Mr Dennis said to her with a tinge of annoyance in his voice. "What do you know.


    You saw the way his wife left angrily, were you expecting him to show his 32 to us? We are even lucky he didn''t throw us out of the house because it would have been a very big embarrassment to us. He was obviously concerned on how to reedem himself, so how can he care about us when the person he wanted to order the ring for was suddenly not interested".


    The 32 the Manager said meant Liu Longwei''s teeth as the adult teeth are thirty-two in number.


    The two ladies kept their mouths shut ,still with a little dissatisfaction in their heart.


    As if knowing their feelings, the manager hurriedly warned them, "You two had better learn to control your facial expressions. And you don''t even qualify to get angry at him, so you two had better respect yourselves. Do you understand?".


    "Yes Boss". The two ladies replied weakly.


    Their manager glared at them as a sign of warning before signalling them to repeat whatever they said as he didn''t quite hear them well enough.


    Then with a hand behind his ear and a piercing gaze at them, the two ladies replied with strength in their voices, "Yes Boss!".


    "Good?!". Mr Dennis said satisfactorily and looked away from them.


    Having reached the upstairs, Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua''s room door in silence before knocking gently on it as he had already made up his mind to show a little love to his angry wife in other to appease her.


    There wasn''t an answer, and so he increased the intensity of the knock a little ,but the result was still the same, ''No answer''.


    As Liu Longwei didn''t have the patience to keep dwadling at the door, he opened the door and went inside the room, and only to see no one in sight.


    He then closed the door behind as he walked towards the bathroom door. And as he placed his ear on the door, he heard water splashing sound, and then he nodded with a smile.


    He tried turning the door knob, but he found out that it was locked, and so he frowned before walking to her bed to sit on it.


    ''This woman forgot to lock the door to her room, but didn''t forget to lock the door to the bathroom, is she teasing me?''. Liu Longwei questioned himself.


    As Chen Lihua took a shower, she heard the door make a sound, and so she paused in place for a minute before smiling and resumed with her bath as she knew that the only person in that house who would dare to try and open her bathroom door without knocking is Liu Longwei.

 Chapter 117 - If he hasnt done anything yet, then is he warming up?.

    As Chen Lihua took a shower, she heard the door make a sound, and so she paused in place for a minute before smiling and resumed with her bath as she knew that the only person in that house who would dare to try and open her bathroom door without knocking is Liu Longwei.


    After having her bath, Chen Lihua rubbed a vanilla fragranced body lotion before we wearing a pyjamas.


    Coming into her room, she saw Liu Longwei sitting cross-legged on her bed as he flipped through a magazine.


    Liu Longwei raised his head to see Chen Lihua walking towards her bed. Then he smiled at her, but his gentle smile was returned with a scornful look.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him and then walked to the other side of the bed to lay down, totally ignoring him.


    With a helpless look on his face, Liu Longwei closed the magazine he was going through and asked her gently, "Are you still angry at me?".


    He was met with silence, but he didn''t give up, "Am sorry, I was carried away at the moment".


    Chen Lihua scoffed and then smiled as the anger and annoyance she felt earlier had long disappered.


    But since Chen Lihua had her back against him, Liu Longwei didn''t see her smile and didn''t know that she was no longer angry. So he proceeded to ask her series of questions.


    "Lihua don''t be angry anymore, I won''t do it again. Are you hungry? Do you want me to bring your dinner upstairs for you? This one you''re sleeping early, are you ok? Should I call the doctor?".


    As Chen Lihua couldn''t take it anymore, she turned to look at him and shouted, "Enough! Can''t you give up? Am not hungry, and my health is in a perfect condition, and you don''t need to get any doctor for me, thank you".


    Chen Lihua turned her back against him again immediately after she finished her speech.


    Liu Longwei was taken aback by the sudden aburst. He stared at Chen Lihua''s back for a moment before he sighed softly.


    He thought that Chen Lihua was now truely angered by him, not knowing that Chen Lihua was not longer angry at him.


    The reason for her sudden aburst was because she became irritated by his continous pestering which he did through his words.


    As Liu Longwei didn''t know how to appease her again in case if angering her again, Liu Longwei laid on the bed as he covered himself with the other half of the blanket.


    Chen Lihua was smiling to herself when she felt Liu Longwei enter under the same blanket as her, and so the smile on her face came to a complete hault and her body stiffened.


    Seeing that Liu Longwei wasn''t making any adavances towards her, she became unguarded against him as her body relaxed.


    But as she was on a second thought to doubt if Liu Longwei would not trying to make advances towards her, Liu Longwei brought her into his embrace.


    When Liu Longwei entered I side the blanket, he saw her stiff Chen Lihua became, and so he decided not to touch her as his intentions was to indeed touch.


    And this is to show you that Chen Lihua was up-guarded for nothing. As Liu Longwei was waiting for the right opportunity to do what was in his mind, he immediately lounged towards her when he saw her body become relaxed and less tensed.


    Chen Lihua didn''t struggle when Liu Longwei brought her to his embrace. Instead, her body stiffened and she became surprised.


    As she could feel his warm body since her back was stuck too closely to his chest, her heartbeat increased.


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself when he saw Chen Lihua''s body actions.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was yet to make a move, as he didn''t know if she was playing dead. But that wasn''t of any importance to him for now as he had those pair of seductive eyes and scorching gaze glued on her body, As if ready to pounce on her any minute from then.


    And true to his thoughts, Liu Longwei raised his hand and put it inside Chen Lihua''s clothe as his hands rubbed her tummy.


    Chen Lihua widened her eyes in shock. And because she couldn''t remain calm any longer, she started showing signs of struggling by trying to get away from his embrace.


    But Liu Longwei didn''t allow her as he locked her down in his embrace by using his legs to trap her as he nibbled on her ear and continued to rub her stomach.


    As Chen Lihua felt the hot breath on her ear, she struggled even the more as she complained since Liu Longwei refused to bulge.


    "Liu Longwei! What do you think you''re doing?".


    "I thought you were still angry since you ignored me, and so I decided to come up with this method in other to please you". Liu Longwei replied as he continued with his mission.


    ''So that''s the reason?''. Chen Lihua asked herself as she didn''t believe that that was all to it. She refused to believe that it was the only reason Liu Longwei had to romance her.


    "You can stop, am no longer angry at you".


    Chen Lihua said in a neutral voice as she tried to stop him.


    But Liu Longwei was not in the best condition to listen to her as he was completely smitten, "I don''t believe that you''ve just forgiven me when I''ve not done anything yet".


    Chen Lihua became afraid beyond measure as she asked herself, ''What does he mean by he hasn''t done anything yet. If he hasn''t done anything yet, then he is warming up?''.


    Chen Lihua shuddered as she tried to placate him, "Am serious, I''ve long forgiven you. I ignored you earlier because I was too tired, and didn''t want to bother with anything".


    This explanation didn''t make Liu Longwei stop in his tracks, instead, he continued with his work.

 Chapter 118 - I dont want to be tempted.

    This explanation didn''t make Liu Longwei stop in his tracks, instead, he continued with his work as he said, "You should have told me sooner, but it''s too late now".


    Chen Lihua had a bad premonition after he said it was too late.


    And that premonition came to pass because Liu Longwei flipped her body over, such that her back was now laying on the bed and he on top of her.


    As Chen Lihua opened her mouth in other to say something, Liu Longwei got the opportunity to slip his hot tongue into her mouth and gave her a passionate kiss.


    ''OMG! What''s happening?''. Chen Lihua screemed in her head she tried to push Liu Longwei''s chest away.


    When she saw that Liu Longwei wasn''t even moving an inch, she decided to try another method abmnd that was hitting his chest.


    Chen Lihua pounded her fists gently on his chest.


    The reason for doing that gently was because the heart was a very delicate organ in the body, and because she is a cardiologist, she very well knew the importance of the heart.


    But to Liu Longwei, she was just massaging his chest, so he released her lips from his mouth as he chuckled brightly.


    Chen Lihua glared at him as she used her palm to rub her lips, in other to cleanse her lips from his touch.


    Seeing her little tactics, Liu Longwei narrowed his eyes slightly and smile dangerously, while at the same time giving off a seductive vibe.


    Chen Lihua paused in her movements as she was trapped in those pair of seductive eyes.


    Then without knowing that she looked seductive as well with the way she was staring at him, Liu Longwei bent to peck her lips.


    Then looking at her, Liu Longwei pecked the both sides of her cheeks before closing his eyes to kiss her lips slowly and seductively.


    By now, Chen Lihua was already immersed in the atmosphere Liu Longwei wanted her to be in because, she closed her eyes as well as she kissed him back.


    After kissing her lovingly for a while, Liu Longwei raised his body as he knelt on the bed with Chen Lihua''s legs inbetween his.


    Then he started to unbutton her pyjamas blouse.


    When he was about to unbutton the third button, Chen Lihua came to her senses as she used her hands to stop him as she called his name softly, "Longwei".


    It was then that Liu Longwei looked up to stare at those misty eyes. Seeing the worry in her eyes, Liu Longwei gave her a gentle smile, as he assured her, "Don''t worry, I won''t cross the boundary".


    As he finished so, he wanted to continue unbuttoning her blouse, but Chen Lihua stopped him again, " I don''t want to be tempted. Am worried that I won''t be able to stop my self from seeking further pleasure if am not satisfied. I want to remain a virgin till we have our church wedding".


    Liu Longwei smiled brightly as he pecked her lips, "Don''t worry, I can control myself. I will ensure you''re satisfied without entering you, so just leave everything to me".


    Chen Lihua heardd his words and felt that something was not right, but couldn''t pinpoint what in particular wasn''t right.


    Liu Longwei smiled happily because Chen Lihua accepted to be intimate with him, so he made up his mind to bring her to the full depths of pleasure.


    Chen Lihua was unaware of the full depths of pleasure you would soon be in, because if she knew earlier, she wouldn''t have gotten angry at Liu Longwei when he kissed her in front of the guests. So, she would have rather put up with him than cause so much trouble for herself.


    After Liu Longwei finished unbuttoning her blouse, he kissed her lips with fiery passion and then trailed his kisses from her neck to the middle of her chest, and then down to her belly button.


    Chen Lihua moaned softly and bit her lips to stop herself from screaming and at thaeir same time holding the bed sheets in her grasp.


    Liu Longwei then raised his head to look at Chen Lihua with love and passion in his eyes, before proceeding to open the unbuttoned blouse in other to reveal her bossom to his sight.


    But Chen Lihua said pleadingly, "Longwei switch off the lights first".


    The amazing thing was that Liu Longwei yielded to her as he knew she was shy.


    After switching off the room lights, he switched on the bed lamps and then pushed Chen Lihua''s blouse away, and then her full chest came to his view.


    Even though the lights in the were dim, Liu Longwei was still able to see to somehow see her chest. But even though he couldn''t see them well, he was still satisfied.


    And so he bent his neck to put one of her ni**le in his mouth as he sucked on it gently while he massaged the other gently with his hand.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know when she moaned loudly. And because she her body was uncomfortable and she was looking for something to grab onto, she rubbed Liu Longwei''s hair with her hands as she bit her lips.


    Liu Longwei then changed position as he proceeded to suck on the other one while massaging the other.


    After being satisfied with her chest, he raised his head to see Chen Lihua''s passionate gaze, and so he smiled in satisfaction and French kissed her before proceeding to reinvent his shirt.


    When he tried removing the belt on his waist, Chen Lihua with her eyes glued to his body, swallowed hard.


    Liu Longwei reomved his belt and trousers and revealed his small underwear with a very big bulge in front.


    At the sight, Chen Lihua blushed profusely before shifting her gaze away. Suddenly panicking, she tried to over her opened chest, but Liu Longwei was faster than her as he stopped her with his hands, and then smiled.


    He then kissed her before removing her blouse completely.


    On seeing that she had calmed down a bit, Liu Longwei took her hand and moved it to his bulge.


    Chen Lihua''s first instinct was to retract her fingers since was scared because the thing she touched suddenly hardened . But Liu Longwei held unto her hand with his as he rubbed her hand up and down his bulge. Then he groaned as he said with a hoarse voice, "Lihua don''t be scared, it''s part of my body and it is it''s response to you".

 Chapter 119 - Lihua if you keep teasing me......

    Chen Lihua''s first instinct was to retract her fingers since was scared because the thing she touched suddenly hardened . But Liu Longwei held unto her hand with his as he rubbed her hand up and down his bulge. Then he groaned as he said with a hoarse voice, "Lihua don''t be scared, it''s part of my body and it is it''s response to you".


    Chen Lihua blushed till her cheeks turned crimson red. She didn''t even know what to say as she was too speechless.


    As her hands continued touching his bulge, she felt the thing increase in size and continued to harden, and thus she became aroused.


    Right at this moment, Chen Lihua wasn''t herself. Because on her own accord, she rubbed him harder and Liu Longwei let out a loud groan qs his breath quickened.


    At this point, there wasn''t any need to for him to guide her anymore, and so he let hand go.


    As Chen Lihua rubbed him harder, he groaned and said her name with a hoarse voice, "Lihua", as if he was trying so hard to hold himself back or something in.


    As he called her name, Chen Lihua kissed his lips and then squeezed his balls softly.


    Liu Longwei groaned agonizingly before capturing her hand, "Lihua if you keep teasing me, then I can''t guarantee that I won''t take you, right here and now".


    When Chen Lihua heard those words, a little of her rationality came back, and so she let him go.


    Liu Longwei only said that in other to threaten her, because he wouldn''t dare to take her there when he had already given his words to her.


    What he had in mind was that if Chen Lihua refused to let him go, he would force her hand off him, and then go into the bathroom to settle himself.


    This is the extent of the love Liu Longwei had for her.


    But in other to give her a little lesson, Liu Longwei pulled her night trouser from her waist before removing it completely. And now, Chen Lihua was left only in her panties.


    Looking astonished, Chen Lihua asked him with a look of shock on her face, "You....you, what are you doing?".


    Without answering her, and with a teasing smile on his face, Liu Longwei started removing his belt. After removing his trousers, he pulled his legs out from it before dumping them on the floor.


    When Chen Lihua heard the ''click'' sound of the belt, her heartbeat accelerated, and so fear came into her as she widened her eyes.


    Seeing him in only his underwear, and the obvious protruding buldge that was threatening to jump out from his underwear, Chen Lihua widened her eyes the more as she stuttered,


    "Long...Longwei.....what...do..think...you...you...are...doing?"


    Liu Longwei smiled as he leaned on her before mimicking her, "Am...am...try...trying...out...something".


    Chen Lihua felt something scorching hot touch her bare laps, and so flinched, but before she could protest, Liu Longwei''s hot lips covered hers.


    As Liu Longwei French kissed her, he carresed her body, from her neck, and then to her lower abdomen.


    Before Chen Lihua could stop those wandering hands, it slipped into her dark green panties, which was a contrast to her complexion. When Liu Longwei rubbed her with his fingers, Chen Lihua closed her eyes as she moaned in pleasure.


    Then, Liu Longwei paused, but for only a moment as he leaned his Lips and hot breath on her ears as he whispered seductively, "You''re already so wet. I wonder how wet you would be after am through with you".


    Chen Lihua didn''t even get the chance to assimilate his words now, before Liu Longwei got up from her body, raised her knees up, opened her legs, before laying in between her legs.


    Both of them sucked in air. As Liu Longwei''s bulge was touching her, Chen Lihua closed her eyes tightly as she moaned.


    The only thing seperating their private parts from touching each other, was their undies, which was in the way. But apart from that, Chen Lihua could very well feel him.


    As she couldn''t hold herself in anymore, Chen Lihua bit on her lips as she moved under him.


    "You''re really impatient. But don''t worry, I will satisfy you". Liu Longwei groaned before he began to grind himself against Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua moaned loudly and without being able to holding in anymore, she moaned loudly as she hugged Liu Longwei''s neck, allowing herself to be immersed in pleasure.


    "Longwei faster!". Chen Lihua cried out.


    Liu Longwei kissed her as he increased his pace. But unable to handle it, Chen Lihua wrapped her legs around his waist and tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Seeing her tears, Liu Longwei became worried, and so he slowed down as he asked worriedly, in a hoarse voice, "Lihua why are you crying? Did I injure your?".


    Chen Lihua shook her head as she said, "Am Ok. So don''t slow down again".


    Seeing that she was OK, the worried look on his face disappeared, and was replaced with the look of pleasure.


    As he moved, Liu watched as Chen Lihua''s chest moved up and down, and so he took one into his mouth.


    Chen Lihua let out a moan before she shouted in pleasure, "Ah!". This shout was followed by a warm sensation which Liu Longwei felt.


    He chuckled softly as he teased her, "You came too early. Considering this is your first time, I won''t hold it against you".


    Then he watched as Chen Lihua breathed heavily, and so he smiled before cleaning the sweat on her forehead, and then leaned in to kiss it, before rolling away from her body.


    As Chen Lihua was embarrassed, she covered her face with her palms. So Liu Longwei looked at her with a hint of his love for her in his eyes, before removing her hands, "You don''t need to be embarrassed. You can go and wash up, or do you need my help?".

 Chapter 120 - I promise to be submissive to you.

    As Chen Lihua was embarrassed, she covered her face with her palms. So Liu Longwei looked at her with a hint of his love for her in his eyes, before removing her hands, "You don''t need to be embarrassed. You can go and wash up, or do you need my help?".


    Chen Lihua widened her eyes in shock and quickly sat up on the bed, "No thanks".


    She had rather get up to bath even though she was tired than to allow the wolf who already had his eyes on her as if she was a prey, to touch her again.


    With her back against him, Chen Lihua picked up her shirt and put it on, and then she started to button up.


    As Liu Longwei already knew her intention to hide from him, he smiled to himself as he firmly but gently grabbed her shoulders to turn her over so that she was now facing him.


    Before Chen Lihua could protest, he already had her lips in his mouth. And that was not all because he grabbed her chest and started to fondle it.


    If you are really watching this couple now, you will indeed find it weird because Liu Longwei seemed to be the only one enjoying the whole activity he instgated.


    His eyes were closed, but that didn''t stop the passionate look on his face from showing.


    But Chen Lihua''s eyes were still wide opened in shock as she was still trying to figure out what exactly happened.


    Having regained herself, she struggled to let herself out from his hold, but only managed to free her lips as Liu Longwei was still grabbing unto one of her breasts.


    "Let go off me, it''s painful". Chen Lihua said with a tinge of annoyance in her voice.


    Instead of removing his hands, Liu Longwei lightened his hold on her breast as he carresed it with a smile before asking, "Is it OK if I touch it like this?. I don''t think I can have enough of fondling and kissing it because I like it. I just wonder how you managed to keep your breasts standing like this without using anything to support it, even with the size".


    As he finished saying out his thoughts, Liu Longwei continued to caress her two breasts. As if that was not enough, he took one of it into his mouth.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t tolerate his shamelessness anymore because she hit him on his head as she said angrily, "Let go of me quickly".


    And this time around, Liu Longwei actually let her go with a reluctant look on his face, like a baby who was denied if his food.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t be bothered with that crazy look on his because she started to button her shirt immediately as she asked the question that just came to her mind, "You must know a lot about women''s boobs for you to say so much about mine. So tell me, how many of the women''s boobs have you seen".


    At this sudden question, Liu Longwei no longer had a smile on his face. But nevertheless, he still answered honestly, "Two".


    "Two?". Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    Seeing that she has misunderstood him, Liu Longwei hurriedly explained, "Yours and my ex-girlfriend. She''s more busty than you, but her breasts are sagged already".


    Chen Lihua didn''t even know what to say to him, so there was silence for a moment before she asked seriously, "No wonder you''re so experienced".


    Chen Lihua meant to say that he was so experienced in handling women''s breast.


    Liu Longwei actually understood the meaning behind her words, and so he immediately tried to make her happy, "But your breasts are the only ones I like. I''ve never tried to put hers in my mouth, but I''ve touched it before".


    Chen Lihua wanted to pick up a fight with him, but she immediately dispersed the thought from her head, as she already told herself that it was his past relationship, and it was not that her ex-boyfriend hasn''t touched her boob''s before.


    So she only glanced at him before standing up from the bed. Then, she bent down to pick up her pyjamas trouser that was on the floor.


    Liu Longwei on the other hand, licked his gaze in her body. So when she bent down, his eyes immediately went to her butts. Seeing her fair and plump butts, Liu Longwei became infactuated with.


    And as he couldn''t control himself again, he immediately shifted towards the side of her bed and brought his feet out, so that his feet were now touching the floor.


    Once his feet landed on the floor, he grabbed her butts with both hands.


    Chen Lihua who was in the middle of putting on her trousers, had a fright as she wasn''t expecting Liu Longwei to do that.


    So her first instinct was to move away from his hold before turning around to glare at him.


    "Longwei what is wrong with you, why do you keep grabbing me, haven''t you had enough, are you not satisfied?".


    Liu Longwei smiled and answered her immediately without batting an eye, "I can never be satisfied enough. If not for the promise, I would have taken you already".


    As he finished speaking, he stood up and locked eyes with Chen Lihua. Then, he smiled seductively before putting his behind.


    Then he put his hands inside her dark green panties and started to fondle her butts.


    Chen Lihua sucked in a deep breath at his actions. Next, she sighed and ran her hands through his hair.


    "Longwei for keeping to your promise, am already grateful. Therefore on this day, I promise you that I will be submissive to you after our wedding, when we want to consumate our marriage. So for now, let me go, am already uncomfortable".


    With happiness and joy written all over face, Liu Longwei let her go and said to her, "Alright, Hurry up and go take a shower, and don''t stay too long as I have relieve myself".


    Chen Lihua blushed when she heard him say ''he wanted to relieve himself'', because she understood what he meant.


    So she hurriedly wore her trousers before running off to the bathroom.

 Chapter 121 - A psychological trauma.

    Chen Lihua blushed when she heard him say ''he wanted to relieve himself'', because she understood what he meant.


    So she hurriedly wore her trousers before running off to the bathroom.


    Seeing her run away in fright, Liu Longwei smiled to himself. Then he heaved a sigh of relief before looking at the bulge. Shaking his head pitifully, he condemned himself for seeking for trouble for no just course.


    As he was in discomfort, he had no choice than to bear it till Chen Lihua came out, in which he rubbed her head affectionately before running into the bathroom to settle his problem.


    Chen Lihua stared at his back for a while before walking towards her bed to lay down.


    Liu Longwei took some time to settle himself.


    And by the time he came out, he was met with the sound asleep Chen Lihua.


    He could only blame himself for taking too long. As there was no use ''crying over split milk'',  Liu Longwei lifted the duvet and slipped into it. Next, he gathered Chen Lihua into his embrace.


    But Chen Lihua who was too deep into sleep, flinched when she felt her back against something warm.


    ''It may be as a result of her not being used to embracing someone or anything while sleeping''. Liu Longwei concluded to himself before letting her go.


    He then looked at her head and saw that there was no pillow supporting it, and the said pillow was not even in sight, he then leaned in to her side to check if the pillow had fallen off.


    And true to his thoughts, he saw the pillow sprawled on the floor. He then shook his head and stretched forth his hand to pick it up before placing it on his side, since the bed was wide enough.


    He looked at Chen Lihua again, and couldn''t help but to think of where and how she got her sleeping habit from.


    The reason for that thought is this, if you look at Chen Lihua now, her back faced the ceiling, while her stomach was on the bed, and her head was sideways, with her hands supporting it. But not facing Liu Longwei.


    Seeing that sleeping position, Liu Longwei wondered if her breasts were not hurting her, and so he made a mental note to ask her about it the next morning.


    So this couple slept through the night without touching each other till the next morning.


    Chen Lihua''s alarm rang by 05:00 AM in the morning. As she was still enjoying her sleep, she frowned when the alarm continued to ring, and so with eyes still shut, she started strectching her hands to find a pillow, in other to cover ears with it.


    But she was unfortunate that she didn''t touch the pillow, but instead touched something hard.


    Instead of opening her eyes to see what she was touching or move the searching hand towards another direction, she continued to touch that thing.


    Trying to find out the thing she was casually touching, she poked it with her fingers. And still not satisfied with the result, she pressed and rubbed it.


    From the result she got, she felt that something was wrong, and so she opened her eyes to see the nature of the thing she had been touching since. When she opened her eyes to check out what she had been touching, she was met with a pair of eyes staring directly at her.


    As she was''nt expecting that in the least, she sat up on the bed immediately, attempting to scream. But before she could scream, Liu Longwei covered her mouth with one of his hands to stop her.


    Still with his hand over her mouth, Liu Longwei used the other hand to turn her shoulder so that she could see his face clearly. And when he was sure she wasn''t going to scream, he removed his hands and said with a smile, "Good morning".


    Chen Lihua returned the greetings to him with an awkward look on her face, "Good morning".


    "If I didn''t stop you earlier, am sure you would have brought the house down with your voice.


    What happened, did you forget we agreed to spend the night together". Liu Longwei teased.


    Chen Lihua switched off her alarm before responding to him with a serious face, "I wasn''t expecting you to be awake. The alarm woke me, and as I wasn''t ready to stand up, I wanted to use the pillow to cover my ears for the mean time. But I didn''t expect to grab you, and right when I opened my eyes to see what it was, I was caught red-handed by you".


    Liu Longwei chulcked softly and his eyes softened as well. The he rubbed her head affectionately and changed the topic.


    "Why do you sleep with you stomach on the bed, does your chest not hurt you at all?". He asked concernedly.


    Chen Lihua was taken aback by the question, as she didn''t expect that one day somebody would ask her that. But nevertheless, she chose to answer him truthfully as she felt that there was nothing to hide.


    "I sleep like that as a form of protection to myself. It''s a psychological problem".


    Liu Longwei was surprised at her answer, and so wanting to find out more, he asked, "How?, what happened".


    "After my ex-boyfriend tried to rape me, I came up with this method as I felt that if someone wants to rape me or do something, he would have to first of all, turn me over. And by then, I would be alerted already". Chen Lihua explained with her eyes free from any emotion apart from a little hurt that passed by.


    "Silly girl". Liu Longwei said as he brought her into his embrace. "No Wonder you didn''t allow me to touch you after you''ve slept already".


    Still in his embrace, Chen Lihua answered, "I did it unconsciously. If am aware you''re the one touching or holding me in my sleep, then I wouldn''t bother. But if am not aware, I wouldn''t let anyone touch me".


    Liu Longwei then pecked her forehead, "That incident really caused you a trauma, Sorry".


    "You don''t have to apologize". Chen Lihua raised her head to look at him with a smile on her face.

 Chapter 122 - I. dont mind your chest size increasing.

    "You don''t have to apologize". Chen Lihua raised her head to look at him with a smile on her face.


    "That''s right, take a look at these designs and pick a suitable one for our wedding rings". Liu Longwei said as he passed the design magazines to her before standing up to switch on the room lights.


    Chen Lihua took the designs from him, flipping it open, she started going through it. A smile of satisfaction appeared in her face as she went through the magazine, while Liu Longwei sat beside her, and instead of concentrating on the designs, he kept looking at Chen Lihua and the book, to and fro.


    Having seen enough, Chen Lihua raised her head, and with a gorgeous smile on her face said to him, "Am quite satisfied with most of the designs that are here. But I will not choose from any of them as I have a design in mind".


    "You mean to say that you will design our wedding rings?, Do you even know how to draw and design?". Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    "Of course, I am a good artist. And it is one of my talents. I already have an incomplete draft, but seeing these designs, my spirit for designing the wedding rings is back. So now, I can complete the drafts". Chen Lihua explained with a proud smile.


    Remember the day Chen Lihua was speaking to Liu Longwei on phone in the study, during the time he traveled, that thing Chen Lihua was scribbling on the paper is the ring design drafts being talked about now.


    "I can see that you''re really talented. OK, go ahead and design them now because the representative for the Tiffany and Co will come this morning to take the magazines back, and to check which designs we chose. So don''t delay since you have to go to the hospital". Liu Longwei said as he rubbed her head.


    "Ok". Chen Lihua said in agreement as she stood up from the bed, and Liu Longwei followed suit.


    As Liu Longwei walked towards the door, he said, "Am going to brush my teeth, do my daily workout routine, and then wash up. And I know that you''re too lazy to exercise, so I won''t bother to disturb you. So I will just leave you to design the wedding rings. See you later at the dining room".


    Then he opened the door and left without turning back to look at the expression Chen Lihua had on her face. And as he left, there was a smirk on his face which Chen Lihua didn''t have the chance to see.


    Chen Lihua could only helplessly look at the already shut door and asked herself, ''Am I really that lazy!''. Then she shook her head, "No am not lazy, am very hardworking. It''s just that I easily get worked up whenever I exercise so, exercise is not my thing''.


    Chen Lihua said all these things to herself, in a bit to console herself.


    Chen Lihua brushed her teeth before venturing into the study room with the design magazines from Tiffany and Co. She worked on the incomplete design drafts for not more than 20 minutes before going back to her room to wash up and dress up.


    Picking the complete design drafts and the magazine from the study room, she went downstairs and to the dining room where Liu Longwei was already sitting, and waiting for her.


    She smiled at him and then pulled out two chairs. She kept the design draft and magazines on one chair and then sat on the other one.


    Looking at the breakfast on the table, Chen Lihua couldn''t help but to wonder what was wrong that day, so she looked up at Liu Longwei and asked softly, "Why is my breakfast different from yours?".


    "Oh, you''re too skiny, and so I had no choice than to order these for you. If not for the size of your chest, butts and hips, I would have thought you were malnourished. Every time I touch your body, I don''t feel enough flesh apart from those parts, so eat up".


    Chen Lihua''s face reddened in embarrassment as she answered him, "What nonsense are you taking about?. I don''t think I can ever have that kind of body you want because I almost never go on a diet. I have always been on the slim side. And there was a point in my life that I ate everything I could just to add flesh, but it didn''t work, instead my stomach increased and my chest size too, so I had to go on a diet. I even asked my mother the reason for me being slim, and she told me not to worry that I would naturally add flesh wants am pregnant, that she was once as slim as me".


    "Oh?". Liu Longwei said as he looked at her.


    "Yes. So all these diary products won''t help me at all. And I don''t want to drink too much milk as well. Neither do I want my flat stomach to go on hibernation, nor do I want my chest size to increase". Chen Lihua said in annoyance.


    "I don''t mind your chest size increasing. So have the breakfast". Liu Longwei said with a smug smile.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him. "It''s my body, so I get to decide what happens to it.


    And I will look awkward if I become too busty with my slim fit. Then, I will have to buy new bras and cloudy, that will be hectic. So that''s why I choose what I choose what I eat everyday".


    "I''ve heard alright? For today, Just have these for breakfast". Liu Longwei said encouragingly.


    Chen Lihua could only obey him as she didn''t have all the time in the world to wait for another breakfast to be prepared. So she had to make do with all the diary and tofu products laid in front of her.

 Chapter 123 - A New Look.

    Chen Lihua could only obey him as she didn''t have all the time in the world to wait for another breakfast to be prepared. So she had to make do with all the diary and tofu products laid in front of her.


    Immediately After breakfast, the representatives for Tiffany and Co came. It was as if they were somewhere monitoring them to finish eating before coming to see them.


    The manager and the Two secretaries sat down after greeting Liu Longwei and Chen.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua sat down on a two sitter sofa. Chen Lihua then passed the design drafts and the design magazines which belonged to Tiffany and Co to Liu Longwei, and Liu Longwei passed them to the manager.


    The manager accepted them from Liu Longwei with a nervous smile.


    Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Longwei said to him, "The little piece of art on that plain paper is what my wife designed. So we want those designs customized for our wedding rings. Hope you can get it done in a month''s time".


    Having heard that Chen Lihua designed the wedding rings, the manager, Mr Dennis flipped the plain papers over in other to see the design. And he was shocked beyond words at the nature of the designs.


    The drawing was sharp and looking so real. The right colours were used to describe the gems and nature of the ring.


    The manager and his two assistants that leaned over to see the drawing out of curiosity were an awe. They all had their mouths agape in shock.


    Liu Longwei had to ask them why they were so surprised, and so Mr Dennis had to explain, "Mr Liu don''t tell me you haven''t seen this designs because if you''ve seen them, you will be shocked just like us". Mr Dennis said while trying to show the designs to him.


    But Liu Longwei raised his hand to stop him, "I don''t need to see the designs as I trust my wife. I just want the wedding rings to be a surprise to me, so you have to work hard to make sure those rings turn out to be exactly as my wife designed them. And money is not a problem. And don''t forget that these designs are customized, and so shouldn''t be copied by anybody. Lastly, return the design drafts with the rings when they are ready.


    Mr Dennis had no choice than to take the design drafts back while nodding his head with a smile.


    As there was nothing left to discuss, the Tiffany and Co representatives took their leave.


    "What do you mean by ''you trust me''?. You would have at least taken a look at the designs before concluding". Chen Lihua chidded him immediately those people left.


    "That''s why I said that I trust you. If I trust you, do I still need to take a look at the drafts?". Liu Longwei asked as he stood up.


    "Well, suit yourself". Chen Lihua said as she stood up as well.


    They both went into their respective rooms to get their work bags. And they both appeared at the entrance of the house together. Chen Lihua complimented his suit before entering into her car and driving off.


    The suit Liu Longwei wore today is among the  new ones Chen Lihua bought for him.


    Liu Longwei could only watch Chen Lihua drive away while wondering to himself, ''Why did she choose to compliment me only when she was driving away''.


    He then looked at his suit before being satisfied, as this was the only thing that was currently making him happy.


    Liu Longwei didn''t waste time before he drove away in his sports car.


    When he got to his company, one of the security guards outside hurried over to open the car door for him, while his bodyguards came out from their car to surround his car.


    As Liu Longwei stepped a foot out of the car, the company leaders came out from the building to welcome him because it was the first time he came to the company after he came back from Paris.


    You may be wondering why it was only the company leaders that came out to welcome him while the employees were sitting inside, and that too comfortably.


    But the truth is, there was a time all his employees came out to welcome him, but Liu Longwei was not happy with the arrangements, and so he berated the heads of deapartments/company leaders.


    And so, the employees could only sadly hurry back to work.


    Which company employees wouldn''t be sad when they have a young, tall, and handsome CEO but still, they couldn''t even get a glimpse of him, especially the female employees.


    Too bad for them that Liu Longwei doesn''t like that nonsense as that was what he called it that particular day the drama happened. He was only interested in work, so tell me how he would allow his employees to come out to greet him, as if they came out to watch a show.


    So that''s why they employees had a meeting, and there they decided that it wouldn''t be good if no one welcomed their Boss as well.


    So they concluded that the heads of departments would represent all of them, as they actually wanted to express the love they all had for their Boss in that way.


    But the good thing is that Liu Longwei didn''t reject them.


    They heads of departments started to doubt if who they came down to welcome was actually their Boss. This doubts arouse when they saw the ash coloured shoe, when Liu Longwei took a leg out.


    ''Why is it not black?, Did we come out to greet the wrong person?. No that can be right, this is our CEO''s car, and the bodyguards as well''.


    These are the thoughts that were currently going through their minds.


    Now, what shocked their entire body was when Liu Longwei came down from his car, and they saw his attire.

 Chapter 124 - A simple answer, My wife.

    Now, what shocked their entire body was when Liu Longwei came down from his car, and they saw his attire.


    ''Is this our CEO?, who caused this transformation?. Did our Boss find a wardrobe manager, but that''s not right because he would never listen to anybody when it comes to what he wears''.


    They heads of departments had to look at each other in other to confirm if their thoughts were the same.


    Then seeing the look on each others faces, they had a tacit understanding.


    Who cares about his attire, what matters now is that they have to fawn over their Boss, in other to get into his good looks.


    So with a fawning smile on their faces, they hurriedly greeted Liu Longwei asked their voices began to ring out.


    "Good morning Boss".


    "Aiya! Welcome Boss".


    "Welcome CEO Liu".


    "Boss you''re looking so different today".


    "CEO Liu, I like your suit, it is well tailored".


    "Boss the suit''s colour fits you".


    "Ah! Boss, you really have a good sense of fashion, you''re able to pull this look well".


    With all these compliments on their Boss looks, they totally forgot to ask about his travel.


    Who care anyways, since Liu Longwei didn''t mention anything, who would dare bring it up.


    As Liu Longwei listened to their compliments, he took a good look at himself, while at the same time, asking himself ''If he really looked different''.


    But the praises his company heads of departments were firing at him, totally made him satisfied. He had to give a thumbs up to Chen Lihua for her good eye sight.


    Liu Longwei thought that the compliments were over untill a male voice rang out.


    "Boss I like your ducktail, you look cool on it".


    And another person agreed to that statement, "Yes Boss, your look today is superb".


    Liu Longwei then turned to look at his car''s window as ran his hand through his hair. Then he smiled as he was reminded of his wife. And so he turned to look at them with a smile of satisfaction, "Good morning to you all, and thank you for the compliments".


    These people were dumbstruck by the smile their Boss showed them. They began to wonder if he was OK, as this was the first time they were seeing their Boss give a smile so bright like that.


    At this point, Asst Duyi emerged from God knows where.


    "Good morning Boss".


    Liu Longwei looked towards him, still with the smile on his face and nodded in acknowledgement to the greeting.


    Asst Duyi couldn''t help but creep out as well, due to the smile.


    Then he looked at Liu Longwei up and down and got the next shock of life.


    ''Who made Boss to actually wear a different colour of suit today, and he actually agreed to it''.


    Seeing the shock written all over Asst Duyi''s face, those people began to calm down as they were not the only people shocked by their Boss this morning.


    If an able Asst Duyi is shocked, then who were they to complain or panick, when someone as important as Asst Duyi had already taken on the job. It was not like they were looking for something that would be an unnecessary burden to them.


    Liu Longwei didn''t even notice the shocked and surprised looks on the faces of those people and Asst Duyi. His only thoughts now was about Chen Lihua, as he was reminded of her by their compliments.


    Asst Duyi quickly composed himself as he thanked whoever that made his Boss change his style of dressing, in his mind. Then, he opened the car door and brought out Liu Longwei''s briefcase.


    As Liu Longwei started walking towards the entrance of his company after giving his car keys to one of his bodyguards, two employees voices rang out again, as they asked the next question that has been going through everybody''s mind.


    "Boss who inspired you look today?".


    "Boss who is your wardrobe manager and stylist?".


    Liu Longwei paused in his steps, looked at them with a fierce gaze, then the next moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he answered them with two simple words, "My wife", before walking away.


    Those people were not expecting that fierce gaze at all, and so they got the shock of their lives with that gaze.


    And so in their minds, they began to condemn those two people that asked those questions.


    They concluded that they would definitely not let them go if they didn''t come out from this current predicament unhurt, without knowing that the two people responsible for asking those questions already felt like disappearing already, when they felt their Boss fierce gaze.


    But they all sighed in relief when Liu Longwei suddenly smiled, even though they felt scared.


    Seeing their Boss walk away after smiling, their troubled minds began to calm down.


    Some of them even started to pant heavily as if they had just finished an important race.


    "Aiyoh! I thought my poor heart was going to have another attack". One of the elderly leader''s said as he patted his chest gently, with a facial expression that looked as if he just hugged death accidentally, but still miraculously escaped from it.


    "Wait, Did you all just hear the CEO''s reply, because I think my ears has already started to malfunction as it picked up the wrong words".


    One of the female heads of departments asked.


    And a totally clueless one replied absent mindedly, "I heard him say ''My wife''".


    "What?! Wife?!". Another one exclaimed, totally unbelivably.


    "Which wife? When did our CEO marry?". Another female asked with a shocked look.


    "That''s right, where did this wife come from?". Another person asked.


    But the clueless one replied again with a look of indifference as he was only interested in proving that he heard what the Boss said, correctly. "But I heard Boss say wife, my ears are working perfectly, and so I don''t think I heard incorrectly".


    "That''s right too, I heard him say, ''My wife'' too". Another person who had been silent spoke up.


    "DBoss is actually married?". Another person brought up this question with widened eyeballs.

 Chapter 125 - Hello husband.

    "Boss is actually married?". Another person brought up this question with widened eyeballs.


    "I think the only person that can answer our questions now is no other person than the humble Asst Duyi". Another elderly leader suggested.


    "As for me, I will never believe that CEO Liu is married untill the most prestigious News network and news paper report it". A woman spoke up.


    Dear lady don''t worry because your wish will soon be fulfilled.


    "Suit yourself then". A man said as he turned to look at the others, "I think we should at least inquuire about this matter from Asst Duyi.


    The others looked at themselves and slowly nodded their heads in agreement. So as they turned around to ask Asst Duyi, they found out that they were all alone, nobody was on sight apart from the the two security guards standing at the entrance of the building.


    Even the CEO''s sports car that was parked close to them was no longer there.


    As they looked at themselves in wonder, they began to ask themselves questions.


    "When did everybody disappear?"


    "My own question is, when did somebody drive the CEO''s car away".


    "I think the most important question now is, how long have we been talking?".


    It was this particular question that made their brain to start boothing.


    Then one of them suggested wiry a panicked expression on his face.


    "I think we should all go inside before CEO Liu sacks us or ask us to turn in our resignation letter. But it would be good for us to be lucky to escape punishments".


    Thus, all of them hurried inside, forgetting about the marriage talk as their jobs were very much important to them at the moment, as they didn''t want to loose their jobs because of the CEO''s matter.


    Inside his office, Liu Longwei settled down on the work chair as Asst Duyi placed his briefcase on the office table before taking a step back with his back, straight.


    Now that he had settled down completely, Liu Longwei neither had that love struck smile on his face nor a poker face. In fact, his facial expression was normal.


    When I mean normal, I meant that a smile and a frown couldn''t be detected on his face. His face was completely on the neutral side.


    With his elbows on the table, and his fists on his jaw, he commanded Asst Duyi, "Announce that there would be a meeting in 30 minutes time. Only the managers and directors of all departments are to be present in the meeting.


    So they should use an hour to get their reports ready".


    After receiving the command, Asst Duyi bowed and left his office.


    As he came to the secretaries desk, the two ladies and one male stood up to greet his warmly, "Good morning Asst Duyi".


    Asst Duyi smiles before responding to them, "Good morning". And then, he got down to business. He relayed Liu Longwei''s imstuctions to them, and only left after they announced the message through the intercom.


    "Good morning to you all. With the CEO''s command, there would be a meeting with the managers and directors of each department in 30 minutes time. You also have 30 minutes to get all your reports ready. Thank you".


    Whispers could be heard everywhere in each department. They only quietened down when their superiors threw them threatening glances.


    Glances which when interpreted meant ''They would be fired for disrupting and obstructing the company''s work, and also suspended for disagreeing with the CEO''s orders.


    Their superiors hadn''t even complained yet and they were already making animal noises.


    It seemed like they need to undergo another training as it seemed like they have forgotten all their work ethics.


    The managers and Directors of each departments breathed a sigh of relief as the punishment their Boss gave to them wasn''t as heart wrenching as they thought it would be. If it were before, 5 minutes was all they need. So they tried all their best to out all their reports in order.


    These reports partained to what went down in their departments for the past month Liu Longwei wasn''t around. So he needed to check them himself, even though he didn''t actually need to, to ensure that everything were in order.


    After the meeting was over the faces of the managers and Directors were filled with a mixture of surprise and joy.


    Their facial expression resulted from Liu Longwei''s leniency on them during the meeting. He only chided them a little with a neutral tone.


    So they felt that their Boss was even correcting them instead of berating them as he used to do.


    They all felt that Lady Luck was on their side, and so this made them to have a second thought about the wife their Boss said he had.


    They wondered if it was really true, but they didn''t know.


    When they saw Asst Duyi walk past them, they didn''t dare to ask him about it, for fear that would definitely be fired on the spot. So they gave up on that idea and walked back to their different offices with different positive expressions on their faces.


    During Liu Longwei''s lunch break, he decided to phone Chen Lihua to know how things were going on her end. But she didn''t pick up.


    The call was only returned towards the end of his lunch break. But this lunch break had nothing to with Liu Longwei asked he could choose to take a break at anytime he wished.


    He picked Chen Lihua''s call on the first ring with a smile on his face, "Hello wife".


    "Hello husband". Chen Lihua replied sarcastically. Buy deep down her heart, she smiled.


    "You didn''t pick up my call when I called, hope you''re OK?". Liu Longwei asked as he shut his laptop down.


    "Am all good. It''s just that I was in the Chief surgeon''s office when you called, and I didn''t bring my phone along. So am sorry for having missed your calls". Chen Lihua explained and apologized at the end of her speech.


    Liu Longwei was very much satisfied with her attitude and so smiled happily as he asked with a tinge of concern, "Chief surgeon''s office, hope everything is alright with you?".

 Chapter 126 - A call to know how his wife was faring.

    Liu Longwei was very much satisfied with her attitude and so he smiled happily as he asked with a tinge of concern, "Chief surgeon''s office, hope everything is alright with you?".


    "Everything is good, just had a little meeting concerning some patients". Chen Lihua replied as she yawned.


    "Are you tired, didn''t you get enough sleep last night?". Liu Longwei asked when he heard her yawn.


    "Am so sleepy right now, and you took away some of my sleep time". Chen Lihua confirmed.


    "Oh! You''re thinking about what happened between us last night? Then that''s good, as this shows that you miss me". Liu Longwei teased.


    "You''d better stop joking, this is work hours, and so this topic is inappropriate". Chen Lihua berated him.


    Liu Longwei had no choice than to stop as he didn''t want to annoy her. He touched his jaw with his fingers as he asked, "Have you had your lunch?".


    Chen Lihua yawned again before replying with a little bit of tiredness "Am not hungry, I just want to take a nap".


    There was a tinge of laughter in Liu Longwei''s voice as he asked, "Sleeping during office hours, do you want to get fired?".


    As she was now very sleepy, Chen Lihua replied him quickly so their conversation would end soon, and she would get a good rest.


    "I can''t get fired that easily because am very capable. Am worth a lot. Besides, I will just nap for 20 minutes. I will set an alarm for that, so you don''t have to worry about me getting fired".


    "OK then, take care of yourself". Liu Longwei wanted to end the call after saying this, but something else came to his mind, so he asked, "Do you want me to come pick you up after work?".


    ''Pick me after work, so you can come and set distractions to the hospital?''. Chen Lihua asked herself, and then she refuted by shaking her head and waving her other free hand, forgetting that Liu Longwei couldn''t see her.


    But she recovered from the trance quickly, and so she hurriedly said, "No need, I came to work with my car. And besides we haven''t announced our marriage or wedding, so for now we shouldn''t be seen together like that until we make an official announcement ".


    "Ok". Liu Longwei said in agreement with her.


    They two exchanged goodbyes before terminating the call. And so Chen Lihua''s head dropped on her office table.


    In the evening of the same day in Liu Longwei''s Villa.


    After having dinner, Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua, "We have to go to your mother''s place tomorrow to pick up your car. And at the same time greet her".


    Chen Lihua sighed before answering, "OK. If my mother didn''t buy that car for me, I would have given it out as I don''t see the need to drive to card when some people don''t have any. But to bad that am someone that cherishes gifts, and so I don''t give my gifts out".


    "That''s so good of you. But in your earlier sentence, were you referring to me?". Liu Longwei asked as he gave her a stare down.


    Looking at his facial expression, Chen Lihua laughed as she slowly explained to him, "I was talking about myself. I like giving because am privileged to have. But some people misunderstand me by calling me a spoilt brat. Some say am bragging about my wealth, while some say I came to show off. But all these has never made me stop giving, as it is one of the things I find joy in. So as am very busy, I don''t usually have the time to visit the less privileged, and so I mostly do donations.


    But sometimes I have to show my sincerity by visiting, which I do once in a blue moon".


    "Wow!". Liu Longwei exclaimed before he continued, "This means that we are in the same shoes".


    "OK then that''s good. The more good we do, the more favours we attract. So let''s not get tired of doing good". Chen Lihua said as she looked at him with an encouraging smile.


    "That''s right, you didn''t gift me anything after coming back from your travel. Didn''t you buy something for me?". Chen Lihua asked with a threatening look on her face as she demanded with her palms stretched towards him.


    Liu Longwei coughed awkwardly before smiling as he held her outstretched hands.


    "I bought you something, but I will give it to you later".


    Chen Lihua stared at him, eyeballs to eyeballs as if to check if he was lying.


    "Are you sure, you''d better not be lying to me".


    Chen Lihua said after she had finished inspecting him as if he was an item.


    "Yes yes". Liu Longwei said as he let go off her hands before gently rubbing her hair.


    "Let''s go to bed early so you would have the time to exercise a little before leaving for work". Liu Longwei said as he pulled her up.


    Chen Lihua stood up with his pulling as she reminded him, "We will not sleep on the same bed till our white wedding is done and dusted. So hole you remember that?".


    "Of course I do. Let''s go". Liu Longwei replied as he continued pulling her till they got up the stairs before departing to their respective bedrooms.


    The next day after work, Chen Lihua came to the hospital''s underground car park. But she was shocked beyond measures when she saw someone already sitting in the front passenger seat of her car. She couldn''t see the persons face as the person had his head lowered.


    Chen Lihua nearly let out scream if not that she recognized the suit on the person is one she bought we her hard earned money, coupled with the hairstyle which she chose for the shameless person. If she didn''t recognize all these details to tell who he was, then she must be joking with herself.


    Chen Lihua was indeed annoyed for being scared out of her wits, and so she walked towards her car and knocked on the window.


    It was then that the culprit ''Liu Longwei'' raised his head. Seeing that it was his wife, he smiled handsomely as he rolled the car window down.


    "Hello". He said as he waved his hand in greeting.


    "Am not in that mood. How did you get into my car?". Chen Lihua asked as she stared at him angrily.

 Chapter 127 - Stuffing Chen Lihua with food.

    "Hello". He said as he waved his hand in greeting.


    "Am not in that mood. How did you get into my car?". Chen Lihua asked as she stared at him angrily.


    "Get into the car first". Liu Longwei said to her gently.


    Chen Lihua could only listen to him as she didn''t want anyone to see them. But once she got into the driver''s seat, she began to question him again.


    Liu Longwei then pretended to be serious, "I''ve got the spare key". But seeing Chen Lihua''s darkening gaze, he explained, "Since you don''t want us to be seen together before we announce our wedding, I decided to come and wait here for you. And you don''t need to worry as I made sure no one saw me".


    Chen Lihua had to follow his gaze to see the bodyguards standing around, and then she looked back at him and said, "Still, you shouldn''t be sneaking into my car".


    "I did sneak into your car, but I did it honourably". Liu Longwei refuted her words as he dangled her car''s spare key in her sight, and with a smirk on his face.


    "I can''t even be bothered with you because it''s a waste of time". Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, and without forgetting to throw her handbag to him before starting her car and driving off.


    Liu Longwei caught the bag with his face full of smiles, "Wife, wife, are you angry?". He said as he leaned in to look at her.


    It would be a waste of saliva and strength to answer him, so Chen Lihua had to demonstrate it by halting the car with speed.


    Liu Longwei was so lucky because he had a quick reflex as he placed his hands on the dashboard to stabilize himself. If not, he would have gotten an injury.


    After he recovered from that with his heart still beating rapidly, he looked at Chen Lihua with shock written on his face.


    Chen Lihua returned the look before saying to him, "Put on the seatbelt for your safety".


    Leaving these words behind, Chen Lihua restarted the car and drive off again.


    Liu Longwei had no words left to say, as he was completely beyond speechless. So, he could only put on the seatbelt and blame himself for trying to disrupt the peace of a sleeping tigress.


    When Chen Lihua brought the car to a sudden halt, they bodyguards following behind them were nearly scared out of their wits, as they didn''t expect that situation at all. So they could only thank their stars that they hit their car.


    When they all got to the Chen''s residence, they were all welcomed as usual. Lady Chen was all smiles as she hugged her daughter and then her son-in-law before she welcomed them inside the house, where they all talked about important things, cracked jokes and laughed.


    When they had discussed enough, Lady Chen asked them to have dinner with her before leaving, and which they agreed to.


    Of course Chen Lihua would never say no, and Liu Longwei as well.


    During dinner, Lady Chen kept putting food for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei untill their tummy became filled.


    "Mum am full, stop putting food into my plate". Chen Lihua said as she kept complaining.


    "Look at how slim you are, there''s nothing to show that you''re living a good life. When you announce your marriage and wedding, what do you think people will say when they see you like this? They will say that Liu Longwei is not taking good care of you. But leaving the rumors behind, at least try to add a little flesh so you would look radiant in your wedding day". Lady Chen adviced with a doting smile.


    "Yes mom, tell her". Liu Longwei said in support of his mother-in-law''s words.


    "It seems like you two want to stock me up to death with food". Chen Lihua said helplessly as she continued eating the food her mother picked for her.


    "Mom my stomach is full, enough". Chen Lihua said with a frown on her face as she rubbed the small bulge that appeared on her stomach.


    "OK, have the last one". Lady Chen agreed as she dropped the vegetable on her chopsticks into her plate while feeling that Chen Lihua had indeed eaten too much.


    As Chen Lihua ate the last of her meal, she dropped her spoon on the table and continued to rub her stomach uncomfortably.


    Seeing that frown on her face, Liu Longwei had to touch her stomach while asking with concern in his voice, "Are you uncomfortable?".


    "Yes". Chen Lihua answered weakly.


    Lady Chen, seeing that her daughter was uncomfortable, rubbed her back gently and with a worried voice asked, "Is your stomach too full?".


    "Mmmm". Chen Lihua hmmmd in answer.


    "Stand up and walk around, so you will feel more.....".


    Lady Chen hadn''t even finished her words when Chen Lihua covered her mouth with one of her hands as she made signs of vomiting, "Urgh....".


    "Hua''er don''t throw up here, hurry and get up". Lady Chen said surprignly as she and Liu Longwei quickly helped her to get up. Then they led her to a nearby visitors toilet where she threw up everything she ate.


    She vomited to the point where she almost vomited her bile out as she could taste that bitter thing in her mouth.


    Lady Chen kept patting her back gently as she said, "Sorry". While Liu Longwei went to the dining table to get her water.


    He soon returned with the water and fed it to her. Chen Lihua rinsed her mouth with it and slowly got up with their help.


    When she finally stabilized herself, she hit their hands away as she went to sit in living room, leaving her mother and husband astonished.


    Lady Chen and Liu Longwei looked at themselves with their eyes asking, ''What just happened?''. Still with Chen Lihua in their thoughts, they immediately hurried after her.

 Chapter 128 - Chen Lihuas jealousy.

    Lady Chen and Liu Longwei looked at themselves with their eyes asking, ''What just happened?''. Still with Chen Lihua in their thoughts, they immediately hurried after her.


    They came out to the living room only to see Chen Lihua already munching an apple and the maid who served her leaving already.


    Lady Chen and Liu Longwei glanced at themselves in surprise before sitting on the sofa. Lady Chen sat on a different sofa while Liu Longwei sat on the same sofa as Chen Lihua. But he didn''t sit too close to her as he was afraid of getting on her nerves.


    While munching on her Apple, Chen Lihua looked at her mother and husband while glaring at them. Her glare was meant to serve as a warning, as If to say, ''Let me see between you two, who would dare provoke me now''.


    Lady Chen and Liu Longwei were not ignorant of that gaze as they fully understood what it meant. So for in other for peace to reign, they could only respect themselves as they patiently watched Chen Lihua finish the Apple.


    The same maid that served her the fruit returned with a bowl of water for Chen Lihua to wash her hands with.


    Seeing that she was done wiping her hands, Liu Longwei said to Lady Chen, "Mum, am planning to arrange a little get together with the whole Liu family in other to introduce Chen Lihua to them. So am thinking it would be a good opportunity for the two families to get together as well. So why don''t you invite the people from the Chen family and relatives as well?".


    Chen Lihua looked at him before bringing out a liquid hand sanitizer to sanitize her hands, as if she wasn''t interested in what he was saying, and as if she wasn''t the person all these arrangements were being made for.


    But nobody payed any attention to her as they were really discussing an important matter.


    "That''s a good suggestion. It would be good for your families and relatives to interact with Lihua before the wedding, so that during the wedding, the situation or ceremony won''t be awkward. And it''s also a good suggestion for both families to meet and interact as well, it would go a long way". Lady Chen said with all smiles as she was very satisfied with this son-in-law of hers, and the good suggestion he came up with.


    "Thank you. I will be taking Chen Lihua to visit the Liu Villa in a two days time, so my father and grandparents could see her since they haven''t seen her in person before. Then two weeks before our traditional marriage, the two families would see each other". Liu Longwei explained seriously.


    The serious expression on his face showed that he really took his marriage with Chen Lihua of high importance, and so he was really putting effort to ensure that everything went smoothly, and for that, Lady Chen was really happy that her daughter has found someone that would take care of her all her life.


    With all smiles, Lady Chen now remembered her daughter, and so turned to look at her to see if she was paying attention. But her facial expression darkened when she saw her supposed paying attention daughter, pressing her phone, and so she glared up immediately.


    "Lihua don''t tell me you haven''t been paying attention to what we''ve been discussing?".


    Chen Lihua looked up from her phone to meet her mother''s gaze, "I heard everything, what do you want me to say, it''s not like you asked me a question and I didn''t answer".


    "Even if you heard us, you should at least show some concern. Your husband is doing everything he can to get you to meet his family, but you''re not showing any response, that''s bad of you". Lady Chen said, very dissapointed in her.


    "It is his responsibility to ensure that I meet his family, before our wedding. So what do you want me to say about that?. My attitude right now seems like am being rude, but I know that am not being rude in any way. How do you expect me to say something when Longwei was obviously looking and talking to you, it''s not like am a statue that would keep watching you two when I have other things to do. Besides, since he has made plans for everything without telling me even up until now, all I have to do is to comply since I heard him telling you about it this moment". Chen Lihua said angrily.


    If you listened very well, you would notice that there was a tinge of jealousy in Chen Lihua''s tone.


    "You....you....". Lady Chen stuttered while pointing at Chen Lihua, as she was too angry to know what to say again.


    She was indeed very angry as the human being she was talking to, had all her attention focused on her phone.


    Seeing that the situation has come to this level and that the mother and daughter were about to start quarreling, Liu Longwei had to stop Lady Chen, as it was the right thing to do.


    There was no way he would allow them to quarrel when he was in their presence, so he stopped lady Chen by diverting her attention.


    "Mom we are about to leave, so I would have to trouble you to get Lihua''s car key for me".


    Lady Chen was stunned for a moment at Liu Longwei''s request, as she wasn''t expecting anyone to cut her words and actions short at the moment. So could only bring her hand down.


    In another way, she understood the reason. She knew that Liu Longwei didn''t want them to quarrel, and also gave her the opportunity to back off from the upcoming quarrel, honourably.


    She was happy once again, but once she looked at her daughter, the smile disappeared from her face.


    Lady Chen stood up to go upstairs and get the car key. But as she was walking past Chen Lihua, she flicked her forehead with force without stopping in her steps, and so she was able to get away quickly.


    Since Chen Lihua''s focus was on her phone, hence, she didn''t see her mother walking past her as her attention was on her phone.


    So when she felt the sting on her forehead, she exclaimed in pain, "Ah!" before looking up to find the culprit, and which was her mother, who was already walking away, so she screamed in anger, "Mum!".


    The only response she got back was a ''Shut up'', before she was able to see her mother''s back again.

 Chapter 129 - Colours of the day.

    Since Chen Lihua''s focus was on her phone, hence, she didn''t see her mother walking past her as her attention was on her phone.


    So when she felt the sting on her forehead, she exclaimed in pain, "Ah!" before looking up to find the culprit, and which was her mother, who was already walking away, so she screamed in anger, "Mum!".


    The only response she got back was a ''Shut up''. Before she could see her mother''s back again, she had already disappeared from sight.


    Seeing her fuming mad, Liu Longwei almost laughed out loud as he found her face very funny. He really had a heard time keeping his laughter in, as he didn''t want to do anything that would trigger the time bomb.


    Chen Lihua thought she hearf a muffled laughter coming from her side, and so she turned to look at Liu Longwei, only for her to see his face in a frown. She became confused and so began to wonder if she did hear well.


    When Liu Longwei tried so hard to hide his laughter, he was almost caught by Chen Lihua, so he did what he knew how to do best, and that was to keep a poker face and that really worked well.


    On seeing that Chen Lihua had looked away from him, Liu Longwei took a breath before shifting his butts close to her. He totally ignored her looks and only stopped when he was close enough to her.


    Chen Lihua kept looking at him to see what he would do next. Anger was no longer written on her face, just a little frown.


    Liu Longwei didn''t disappoint her at all, because immediately he was close enough to her he placed his palm on her forehead and began rubbing it while saying, "I should have first discussed my plans with you before telling your mother about it. Am so sorry you had to know about it now".


    It was now that chen Lihua totally lost the frown on her face. If she said she wasn''t touched, then she would be lying to herself.


    Now that this apology worked, there was a smile on her face and so she said to him, "It seems you like to apologize a lot".


    "The right thing to do in a relationship is to admit to your wrongs and apologize to your partner if you''re in the wrong. This will help the relationship go a long way". Liu Longwei replied as he brought Chen Lihua''s head to lean on his shoulder, and Chen Lihua didn''t resist at all.


    Having heard his explanation, Chen Lihua raised her head to look at him while asking with a sly smile, "You really sound like a relationship expert".


    "Since I''ve been in a relationship before, of course I have to learn from my past experiences". Liu Longwei said without agreeing or denying her words. Then he pushed her head back to his shoulder.


    They didn''t stay like that for a long time before Lady Chen came back with the car key.


    She was surprised to see the husband and wife having made up already as they were already cuddling. But she was happy for them as well.


    So when she walked to their veiw, she handed the key over to Liu Longwei, in which he stretched his hand to collect it while thanking her.


    After this, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua stood up to leave. And Lady chen walked them to their car.


    Outside, Liu Longwei handed the car key to one of the bodyguards, in other for him to drive the car back.


    Liu Longwei then asked Chen Lihua if she would be able to drive them home in her Audi, but Chen Lihua shook her head as she explained, "It''s night already, and so I can''t drive since I didn''t come out with my glasses. So you will have to drive".


    Nodding in understanding, Liu Longwei got into the driver''s seat with Chen Lihua getting into the front passenger seat. And they didn''t forget to bid Lady Chen a good bye before driving off.


    The next morning after workouts, Chen Lihua''s phone rang and so Liu Longwei passed her phone to her as it was close to him. With this, he couldn''t help glancing at the caller ID from the corner of his eyes, and that was when he saw ''wedding planner'' as the caller ID before he passed the phone to Chen Lihua who was already sitting up on the Yoga mat.


    Seeing that name ''wedding planner'', Chen Lihua sat up immediately before taking the phone from him.


    From Chen Lihua''s actions now, you could tell that this wedding is really very important to her.


    "Good morning Mrs Liu, how are you doing this morning?". The wedding planners sweet voice sounds out.


    "Good morning to you too, am doing great. From your voice, I can tell you''re good". Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    The wedding planner replied instantly, "Yes am good. For your traditional and white wedding, I''ve seen the venues and the halls for them, and so I can say they are perfect. From the last time we spoke you told me to help you contact well known caterers here in China, and I''ve done that. So how would you like to discuss with them, in person or through a gadget?".


    "You''ve done well. This is my wedding we are talking about, so I will have to see them in person. I will like to see them tomorrow, So book an appointment with them tomorrow morning". Chen Lihua said as she stood up from the mat as she began to walk around the gym room.


    "OK. So tell me, what are the colours of the day?". The wedding planner asked with a little joy in her voice.


    "Wine red, and then white. So for the reception venue, you would have to decorate with wine red and white roses. Add a little bit of Gold and silver to the decorations. Their quantities should be moderate". Chen Lihua said with a hand on her waist.

 Chapter 130 - I have to deal with you to my satisfaction before i let you go.

    "OK. So tell me, what''s the colour of the day?". The wedding planner asked with a little joy in her voice.


    "Wine red, and then white. So for the reception venue, you would have to decorate with wine red and white roses. Add a little bit of Gold and silver to the decorations. Their quantities should be moderate". Chen Lihua said with a hand on her waist.


    "Yes ma''am ". The wedding planner replied, and then laughed.


    "What are you laughing for?". Chen LIhua asked with a smile on her face.


    "You sound like a Queen giving out commands to her subordinates or palace maids". The wedding planner replied.


    "Oh Vivian, could you please don''t start with your awesome remarks. Just hurry up with the preparations. I want the best of everything. And remember, money is not a problem for me. My husband has lots of it, and i do too. So make sure to contact me if you need more money. Send me your account details so my husband can transfer you some tips for you have been working hard these days". Chen Lihua said the last two sentences while looking at her husband who was also staring at her.


    Vivian laughed, "Hmm! Well congratulations to you then on spending your Man''s money".


    "Oh! thank you. Our discussions for this morning will have to end now as i have other calls to make. I have to reach out to my chinese wedding planner. So, goodbye". Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "Ok, bye". Vivian said as she blew kisses to Chen Lihua, and the latter returned it before terminating the call.


    Sighing, Chen LIhua turned to speak with Liu Longwei, but only to catch him staring at her. So with a confused smile, she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?".


    Liu Longwei gave her a seductive smile while opening his mouth to say, "Just now on the phone, i heard you say ''My husband has lots of money'', and you even want me to send some tips to her. What caused the change because you have never asked me for money".


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "Well this is OUR wedding we are talking about, so do i have to foot the bills alone when i know you are more than capable?".


    Liu Longwei replied her immediately, "Since you know ''Am more than capable'', why don''t you want me to take care of every monetary aspects of our wedding?".


    "Look here young man, i have money too, and lots of it even though it can''t compete with yours. And there''s no way i won''t contribute for our wedding when i have the money, i won''t feel happy and satisfied, and there will be nothing for me to boast of". Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face at the last sentence.


    "As you wish. From your conversation with the wedding planner can, i deduced that you two have more than a business relationship.Am i right?". Liu Longwei asked, trying to confirm his thoughts and deductions.


    Chen Lihua admitted to it with a smile, "You are observant. Vivian is my long time acquittance and turnd friend. I first met her here during my Junior high school, but we weren''t that close. We only became close in the states because she studied there, and she also modelled with me for a short period before coming back to China".


    Liu Longwei smiled as he replied, "I see. You really have a good relationship with her".


    "Yes. And she''s beautiful and tall like me. She has a nicer body shape than me, She has that type of body size you want me to have". Chen Lihua said teasingly.


    "Are you teasing me?". Liu Longwei asked as he narrowed his eyes with a dangerous smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua didn''t back off, instaed she answered with a teasing smile. "Not really, i definietly meant real business".


    Seeing her facial expression that said otherwise, Liu Longwei stood up as he started to inch closer to her.


    Seeing him coming towards her, Chen Lihua started to take steps back as she asked, "What are you trying to do?".


    "Trying to show you that my facial expression then, meant real business as well". Liu Lngwei replied as he almost closed in on her.


    It was now that Chen Lihua smelt danger. So she started running for her dear life, and Liu Longwei chased round the gym house.


    Chen Lihua laughed as she ran while telling Liu Longwei to stop, but he continued to chase as he laughed as well.


    When he caught her, he did a smackdown move as he brought her to the floor. Then he started to tickle her waist as it was one of the most sensitive part of her body.


    As Chen Lihua couldn''t help it, she started wiggling her body and laughing out loud while pleading to him to stop.


    Liu Longwei continued to tickle her while saying, ''I have to deal with you to my satisfaction before i let you go''.


    But seeing she was laughing so hard, Liu Longwei finally stopped as he lay on her. And for his weight not to crush her, he propped himself up on his arms, and so they laughed together while looking at themselves.


    When their laughter reduced, and with them still looking at each other with a smile, Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua with warmth written all over him.


    While staring at that pretty face and beautiful smile of hers, Liu Longwei couldn''t resist the temptation any longer, and so finally conceeded.


    He lowered his face and lips to meet her lips in a frenzy kiss. At first, Chen Lihua was resisting, but Liu Longwei held her down with legs, hands and lips. Seeing it was not possible to free herself, she stopped resisting after a while.


    At fisrt, she just allowed Liu Longwei to kiss her without moving. But as she couldn''t resist him anymore,she succumed to the temptation. So she started to reciprocate his actions.


    Seeing that she was no longer resisting and has started to reciprocate, Liu Longwei deepened the kiss.

 Chapter 131 - But youve always been touching me.

    Seeing that she was no longer resisting and has started to reciprocate, Liu Longwei deepened the kiss.


    They kissed for quite a while before seperating. Then Liu Longwei helped her up.


    As Liu Longwei helped her up, Chen Lihua had her head lowered as she was too shy to meet his eyes.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he noticed her bashfulness, and so he decided to tease her by asking her, "Are you shy?".


    But unexpectedly, Chen Lihua nodded in agreement, but still with her head lowered. And this surprised him because unlike her, she would have already erupted in anger, so he was quite surprised.


    But her admittance caused him to have a dotting smile on his face. So he used his two fingers to place under her jaw to gently raise her head. Next, he pecked her forehead before hugging her.


    After they were done with their cuddling, Liu Longwei transferred the tips to the wedding planner, and immediately, she called Chen Lihua.


    "Lihua your husband is very rich. The tips he sent me is close the amount of money you paid me for deposit"


    "Yeah, am your Lady lucky, so you''d better thank your stars that you''ve got a friend like me, from whom you would reap enough benefits from". Chen Lihua replied.


    The wedding planner said to her, and that to shamelessly. "Yes yes yes. Thank you so much, and please serve your husband well, so I can reap more benefits from you".


    "Vivian! You must be crazy, goodbye". Chen Lihua said awkwardly as she looked at Liu Longwei before terminating the call.


    Liu Longwei gave a sly smile as he said to her, "Did you hear her, serve me well".


    "Move away from me". Chen Lihua said as she pushed the chest that was already leaning closer to her, away.


    Liu Longwei listened to her by shifting a little bit away from her before he posed another question, "Why did you save your friend''s number as ''Wedding planner''?.


    While fiddling with her phone as her eyes were on it, she answered, "She''s on an official business, and so I had to save her number as ''Wedding planner''. But when she''s done with her work, I will change it back to Vivian".


    Liu Longwei chulcked, "You are one funny woman".


    "Oh yeah". Chen Lihua replied before she made a call through to the other wedding planner in charge of her Chinese traditional wedding.


    They spoke for a while before the call came to an end. Then with a smile, Chen Lihua told Liu Longwei, "This wedding planner your mother recommended to me is very efficient. Our traditional wedding is in a month''s time, and all the arrangements are almost done. I think what remains now should be our clothes and accessories and other little items that should be done by our parents".


    "This wedding planner introduced to you by my mother is among the top Chinese traditional wedding planner in the country, and she planned my sister''s wedding". Liu Longwei replied.


    "That''s good then". Chen Lihua said before discussing about their wedding with him.


    That morning, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei left for the church to attend their marriage classes.


    Their marriage class ended after three hours, in which they both left in their respective cars for their work places.


    In the middle of the night, Liu Longwei sneaked into Chen Lihua''s room, but was caught immediately he laid on the bed because it hadn''t been long Chen Lihua came out from the bathroom, before he came into her room, so she was still half awake.


    So immediately he layed on her bed, Chen Lihua sat up immediately and asked in a sleepy voice, "What are you doing in my room, and on my bed by this time of the night?".


    Liu Longwei sighed before sitting up, "I didn''t expect you to wake up so soon. Well, I just wanted to touch you".


    Chen Lihua was speechless for a bit before she replied sleepily, "But you''ve always been touching me. So what kind of touch do you want again?".


    "I just want to hug you to sleep, I promise I won''t do anything beyond that". Liu Longwei said pitifully.


    As Chen Lihua didn''t have the strength, time and patience to deal with him as she was too sleep, coupled with that weird pitiful look on his face.


    So without answering, which was also a sign of approval, laid on her bed. And Liu Longwei understood the sign very well, and do he smiled and laid down beside her before gathering her in his arms and falling asleep.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua went to the hospital.


    Immediately she arrived, She was told that CEO Long, the old man that had cardiac arrest, and her suggestions saved him. And so she went straight to the Chief surgeon''s office to see him.


    When she got inside the office, she first looked around the office after she came in. She first spotted the Chief surgeon sitting on a sofa with a smile on his face and then facing two other men. One older one, like a grandfather and a younger one, close to Liu Longwei''s age.


    They were obviously chatting with the Chief surgeon. The you get one just sat down there without saying a word, while the old man was full of smiles as he was chatting.


    So the conversation came to a halt when Chen Lihua came inside.


    After exchanging greetings, the Chief surgeon introduced Chen Lihua to them.


    "Dr Chen meet the chairman of Long enterprises, and this is his youngest grandson, they are here to meet you". Chief Surgeon Song said as he introduced them.


    After shaking their hands, Chen Lihua was invited to sit, and so she sat on a single sofa.


    "Dr Chen you''re very young, buy that did not stop you from giving wonderful instructions. I learnt that the success of my surgery was as a result of the suggestion you brought up, and so I am here to show my appreciation to you. If you ever need anything now and in the future, do not hesitate to contact me". Chairman Long said with a gentle smile on his face.

 Chapter 132 - Matchmaking Section.

    Dr Chen you''re very young, but that did not stop you from giving wonderful instructions. I learnt that the success of my surgery was as a result of the suggestion you brought up, and so I am here to show my appreciation to you. If you ever need anything now and in the future, do not hesitate to contact me". Chairman Long said with a gentle smile on his face.


    "There''s no problem at all, it''s my duty as a doctor". Chen Lihua replied politely and honestly.


    "Hahahahha". The old chairman laughed heartily as he was really impressed and satisfied with her answer.


    Her answer proved that she was not trying to take credit, but proclaimed it was her duty as a doctor. Because doctors are known for their care towards their patients as the try to save them whenever there is a forseen or unforseen danger. They also check up on their patients to ensure they are doing well till they are discharged.


    So from Chen Lihua''s answer, Chairman Long could tell that she was of the above kind. So while laughing heartily, he did not forget to compliment her.


    "Dr Song, what a young doctor you have under you. I love this child. With her type, our country will go far".


    Dr Song laughed along with him as he completely agreed with the praises he rained on Chen Lihua.


    The young handsome gentleman also smiled as he looked at Chen Lihua in admiration, but the later didn''t notice his gaze as her concentration was both on the old chairman and Chief surgeon.But he didn''t feel bad as he thought that she was a serious person and someone with a good character as she didn''t ignore her elders to look at him, or stare at him because she wanted his attention.


    But what he didn''t know was that, if you don''t talk to her, she wouldn''t even bother to look at you.


    Another surprising thing is, since Chen Lihua had already looked at and greeted him before, she wouldn''t bother to do that again as she didn''t have any business with him, since she had alrealdy seen his face.


    So the old Chairman faced his grandson and said with a happy smile on his face, "Brat do you see for yourself how well trained this beautiful daughter is?".


    "Yes grandfather". He answered with a smile as he looked at Chen Lihua again. But this time around, they locked gazes.


    Chen Lihua was surprised when she heard the old man talk. So she first looked at the old man, his grandson and then the Chief surgeon, as if asking what was happening.


    But too bad the old man was the only one who didn''t seem to understand her gaze.


    His grandson saw and understood the look of shock in her eyes and entire face, but he could only smile while saying to himself, ''finally she looked at me gain''.


    The Chief Surgeon''s smile froze as he looked at the old Chairman in shock as he asked himself, ''what is this old fella trying to do, is he trying to conduct a matchmaking section in his office between his unmarried grandson and the already married daughter of Lady Chen?''.


    So when he met Chen Lihua''s questioning gaze, he shrugged his shoulders to show he didn''t know what was happening or trying to happen. So Chen Lihua could only return a stiff smile to the old CEO who was alealdy looking amongst the three of them with a smile as he said to his grandson, "Brat do you see what a good and well mannered young lady she is?. I told you that you would like hrer at first meet".


    "Yes grandfather you are right". His grandson said with a smile as he looked at him and then at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua was speechless as it finally downed on her that the old man was trying to matchmake her and his grandson.


    She felt a bit angry because she was right there in their midst, and the old man was already deciding her fate without her consent. She felt that in the current situation, her opinion wasn''t even needed. So she muttered under her breath angrily, "Old man can''t you see am married?". She said tried to display her fingers, only for her to finally realize that there was no ring, not even an engagement ring on her finger, so she became angry at Liu Longwei for not putting any ring on her finger, and also scolded herself for almost embarassing herself.


    As she looked around the office to ensure that know one noticed her gaze, she almost sighed in relief untill she saw that guy''s gaze on her, and so she widened her eyes in shock before swiftly moving her gaze away.


    The old chairman saw them gazing at each other, and also Chen Lihua shifting her gaze towards another direction, so he thought she was shy or maybe embarrased, and so he smiled thinking that Chen Lihua has understood his point.


    And so, he decided to make his intensions a little clear. So he looked at her and said with a bright smile on his face, "I like your personality a lot, and my grandson here likes you too. And i would like for you too become my granddaughter in-law. The whole Long family will surely love you. So why don''t you exchange contacts with my grandson, so communication will be more than easy between you two".


    If water was in the Chief Surgeon''s mouth when he heard those words from the old man, he would have definietly choked on it. He felt like he hasn''t seen a more shameless man like this old man before.


    And without dismissing those thoughts from his mind, he looked at Chen Lihua uneasily. But the latter was still looking at the old man in shock.


    Chen Lihua has never encountered this type of situation before, so she had to take a few more seconds to recover from the mind blowing news.

 Chapter 133 - Who is your husband?

    And without dismissing those thoughts from his mind, he looked at Chen Lihua uneasily. But the latter was still looking at the old man in shock.


    Chen Lihua has never encountered this type of situation before, so she had to take a few more seconds to recover from the mind blowing news.


    After recovering from her shock, she tried very hard to still put on a smile on her face as he replied the old man, "What a straightforward man you are, and i admire that attribute of yours".


    The old man smiled pleasantly as he really liked the praises Chen Lihua rendered to him.


    Seeing him smile, Chen Lihua scoffed inwards as she said to herself, ''you are doing well by smiling old ma, as that is exactly what i want, so you won''t have any reason to be offended when i give you the breaking news''.


    So she continued with a polite smile on her face, "But am so sorry to shock right now, because AM MARRIED".


    The old man was still smiling from ear to ear untill he heard the breaking the news. And as he felt that he didn''t hear very well, so he stopped smiling and asked with full concentration, "Ehn?".


    "Am married". Chen Lihua repeated again before asking, "it has been a news on the internet, eventhough it didn''t cause too much commotion. I never knew you didn''t know about it, and for that, am sorry".


    The pair of grandfather and grandson pair were in shock on this unexpected shocking news, and so they looked at themselves.


    But the Chief Surgeon was an exception, because he became relaxed when Chen Lihua broke the news to them. And seeing the shock written on their faces, he sneered as he said to himself, ''Are you shoocked?, what were you expecting?, That a young, beautifull and intelligent lady like Chen Lihua with a good family background would still be available?, What a very big joke''.


    After having saying all these to himself, he wished that those two would quickly leave his office as he didn''t know the trouble they would soon cause.


    It took some minutes for those pair to digest the sudden news and come back to their senses.


    With a calm expression on his face due to his experience in handling unexpected and shocking news, he asked Chen Lihua when she got married,, and she answered him by saying that she got her marriage certificate about a month ago, but her wedding would be comming soon.


    "When is your wedding?". The old man calmed himself and asked.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she answered him, "Am sorry, the date hasn''t been finalized".


    The old man let out a breath after coming to a conclusion. "Since you are yet to hold a wedding, then do well to send me an invitation".


    Chen Lihua smiled in agreement.


    "Who is your husband?". The young man asked suddenly as he couldn''t believe that the lady he was eyeing was already married and about to hold her wedding.


    All eyes were on him when that question left his mouth, but he couldn''t be bothered with them as his only interest now, was hearing Chen Lihua''s answer. Because he wanted to know if her supposed husband truly deserved her.


    Chen Lihua then focused her gaze on the serious looking man. The putting on a professiona smile, she said, "Am sorry I can''t reavel that untill we make an announcement together".


    This answer actually got the old man curious, and so he moved his gaze from his grandson to Chen Lihua and started questioning her.


    But no matter how he put the question, Chen Lihua was determined not to reveal anything to him.


    Having given up, the old man stared at Chen Lihua while thinking to himself, ''This child is really tough''.


    "Alright. I alteady have my ways to investigate, but i choose to respect your decision".


    Chen Lihua smile politely and said."Thank you", as she didn''t have the strength to face any trouble if she actuall caused one.


    Everyone in the office became satisfied that the conversation has come to an end, but except for Chairman Long''s grandson who didn''t have a happy expression on his face as his question wasn''t answered. And then his grandfather decided to cut short the only road left for him to find out the truth, and that was to investigate.


    But not wanting to spoil the atmosphere and be scolded by his grandfather later, he quickly put on a smile on his face. Turning to Chen Lihua, he smiled as if he wasn''t angry few seconds ago and said, "Congratulations to you".


    "Thank you". Chen Lihua said before responding to the old man and the Chief Surgeon who congratulated her as well.


    While leaving, the young man gave her a weird stare before finally walking away with his grandfather.


    ''What''s wrong with this one?''. Chen Lihua asked herself.


    When those pair finally left, the chief Surgeon sighed in relief before apologising to Chen Lihua. And Chen Lihua accepted the apology without blaming him.


    When she got home that day, she told Liu Longwei on what transpired at the hospital that day.


    "He tried to matchmake my woman, it seems like it''s time to announce our wedding and put a ring on that finger". Liu Longwei said furiously.


    He couldn''t help but get angry at the thought of someone else, someone from the opposite sex with his wife apart from him. He decided to get back at the old man since he was familiar with the man.


    He planned to flaunt Chen Lihua right in his face since he has come to know that he quite liked his wife. So he had to teach him a lesson with that example so he would be restless.


    Without knowing his thoughts, Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him because of what he said.


    After this little episode, they ate and freshened up before leaving for the LIU RESIDENCE.

 Chapter 134 - A little disappointed.

    He planned to flaunt Chen Lihua right in his face since he has come to know that he quite liked his wife. So he had to teach him a lesson with that example so he would be restless.


    Without knowing his thoughts, Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him because of what he said before walking up the stairs, and Liu Longwei followed behind her.


    As if sensing that she wasn''t happy with him from her not saying anything to him and her straight face, he decided to strike up a conversation.


    "We will leave for the Liu residence by 6PM, So you can just relax for a while as you seem tired".


    ''Thank you". Chen Lihua said sincerely as she paused in her steps.


    Chen Lihua was indeed tired as she already had a busy day at the hospital, and she also had to meet with the cateres. So, Liu Longwei''s care was indeed needed.


    "But i still need to buy some things for your family as it is our fist meeting, So it will be rude if i don''t". Chen Lihua said worriedly.


    At this point, Liu Longwei had to smile because he could tell that Chen Lihua cared about the opinion his family would have on her.


    "You don''t have to worry about that as i have already gotten something for them in your place".


    "No no, that won''t do. You bought it for them, and i didn;t contribute anything towards it, not even my sincerity. So i disagree with you, but thanks as wwell". Chen Lihua said in rejection.


    Since she''s the one to get something for somebody, she will always show interest and sincerity towards that thing.


    Even if she doesn''t pay for the item, at least she should participate in selecting it.


    Liu Longwei was surprised that she rejected him, so he asked, "Although you have a point, but there''s nothing wrong with it since we are already husband and wife".


    "Although you may not see anything wrong in it, but i do. It''s not my style. Besides, first impression matters. And i don''t believe that with time, you would still have the same opinion as now". Chen Lihua said while staring at him.


    "But...". Seeing that he was still trying to say something, Chen Lihua hushed him while placing a finger on his lips to shut him up. Then she sighed while gently saying ''Enough'', before dragging him away.


    But the irony of the whole episode was that she abandoned him right in front of his door before entering her room and shutting the door without looking back.


    Liu Longwei was indeed bewildered as he looked like a cat abandoned by it''s owners,


    When he recovered from the shock, a smile formed on his lips. And then he went into his room to freshen up as quickly as possible.


    When Chen Lihua went into her room, she sighed in relief as she dumped her bag and white coat on a chair before lying on her comfy bed and dozing off within seconds.


    By 5PM, Liu Longwei dressed himself in a sapphire blue suit with a patterned tie and black shoes to match. He combed his ducktail and sprayed his perfume.


    Picking up his phone and wallet, he walkedout of his room in all smile to meet his wife.


    But haven knocked on her door and received no response, he thought that she was in the bathroom or walk-in closet, and so decide to push her door open. But who knew that he would be shocked to see her still in her work clothes, and sleeping so soundly, like she doesn''t give a damm about the world.


    Coming out from his shock, he shut the door behind ahe walked towards her bed.


    Haven walked to her bed, and seeing her sleeping soundly, he became confused as he didn''t know if he should wake her up or allow her to sleep for a little while.


    Making up his mind, he decided to let her sleep for a while as he understood how tired she was. So in other not to disturb her, he sat on sat on a sofa, and from there, he watched her sleep for fifteen more minutes.


    As the 15 minutes was up, Liu Longwei decided to wake her because of time.


    Tapping her gently, he called her gently, ''Lihua wake up''. But Chen Lihua didn''t even bulge. So Liu Longwei had to shake her gently before she gave a resonse.


    She frowned, but didn''t open her eyes.


    Liu Longwei had to nudge her and call her name continously before she managed to open her eyes.


    As she opened her eyes to see the spirit that was obstructing her rest, she met Liu Longwei''s gaze and she hit his hands off her body before rasting her head on the pillow and closing her eyes.


    Liu Longwei could only chuckle as he knew she was still in the dreamland.


    So he decided to lift her shoulders up while saying, " Lihua we are going to be late if you keep this up. You still have to wash up, dress up and eat before we leave the house".


    But Chen Lihua didn''t even bulge, and so Liu Longwei sighed and laid her back on the bed after coming up with a descion.


    "Lihua since you''re so tired, then i think we should reshedule the visit. We can visit them another time".


    "Mmmhh". Chen Lihua responded still with her eyes closed.


    As he said so, he turned his back on her, feeling a little disappointed with the current situation, but he still consoled himself by thinking that she was too muddled with sleep, and so didn''t hear him.


    But who knew that Chen Lihua would jump off the bed the minute Liu Longwei turned his back on her with widened eyes.


    That sound alone made Lu Longwei to look back, and so he walked close to her.


    "What were you saying, call off what?. You must be joking with me. Do you want to embarass me and let your family have a negative opinion on me?". Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei had to explain quickly before she misunderstand him, and then she would flare up.


    "I thought you were too tired, and so i wanted you to rest more, as your health is important.


    "Thank you for your care husband, but your discision is wrong. And who cares about the sleep when i''ve been sleeping my whole life". Chen Lihua said as she quickly walked into the bathroom.


    Then Liu Longwei''s worried voice trailed after her, "Are you sure you''re ok now, do you need my help?".


    He asked this question as he was worried that since she just woke up from sleep, she may bump into someyhing.


    "No thank you, am fine on my own, so you don''t have to worry". Chen Lihua''s voice came out faintly as she was already in the bathroom.


    "But am worried". Liu Longwei said to himself.

 Chapter 135 - Looking elegant and youthful.

    Then Liu Longwei''s worried voice trailed after her, "Are you sure you''re ok now, do you need my help?".


    He asked this question as he was worried that since she just woke up from sleep, she may bump into something.


    "No thank you, am fine on my own, so you don''t have to worry". Chen Lihua''s voice came out faintly as she was already in the bathroom.


    "But am worried". Liu Longwei said to himself as he looked towards the bathroom door.


    Then he decided to help her dress the bed.


    Half way through, Chen Lihua peeped from the bathroom door and said to him pleadingly, "Longwei please help me contact a makeup artist and a hairstylist, it''s urgent".


    Liu Longwei was almost shocked to see her standing behind the door with a wet face. He thanked God that he could only see her face.


    Now haven listened to her pleaading, he wondered what was wrong with her, and so he asked, "What do you need a makeup artist for, are going to walk the runway, you can just apply a simple makeup yourself. And you can just pack your hair yourself".


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, "Since i started living with you, have you ever seen me on makeup?. And that''s because i don''t have any. Now can you just do what i asked of you, unless you want your wife to look shabby and embarass you".


    Liu Longwei shook his head because he hasn''t seen her on makeup in his house, because she was always on her natural face.


    Left with no words to say, Liu Longwei waved his hands for her to go back to yhe bathroom, and she quickly disappeared.


    Liu Longwei picked up his phone immediately to dial a number, and the call was picked immediately.


    "Get a makeup artist and a hairstlist for my wife. Send them to the house at the fastest speed".


    That was the instruction he gave before he continued to dress the bed.


    Minutes later, Chen Lihua came out from the dressing room in a hollow bowknot stand collar half sleeve women''s maxi dress. The dress was in ballet slipper pink with white collar and the bowknot too.


    A pink 39 faux pearl ankle strap stiletto pumps were on her feet. Then in her hand was a pink box clutch.


    Liu Longwei watched her till she sat on the opposite sofa as him. With his eyes glued on her, tell me, how can he hesr the knock on the door.


    Chen Lihua had to pinch his cheeks with a smile on her face, "Who knows why you''re lost in thought. Someone is knocking on the door, go and check".


    Liu Longwei caught her hand and left a kiss on the back of her palms before going to check on the door, and Chen Lihua shook her head with a smile.


    At the door, Liu Longwei saw the bultler standing with a young stylish male rolling his makeup box and a simple looking young lady with her medium sized box.


    As he looked at them, his eyes rested on the makeup artist as he looked him up and down. So the bultler had to introduce them to him. And Liu Longwei nodded before the bultler left.


    He let them into the room.


    They smiled and greeted Chen Lihua and she smiled back in greeting.


    And they intoduced themselves before setting up their tools.


    "I don''t have a lot of time left, so i hope you too will at the same time and quickly. For the makeup, make it as neutral as possible, no need for the contour and highlighting. For my hairstly, i just want my hair in a high bun and then you can insert a few hair clips in them". Chen Lihua instructed them.


    They both were professionals in their work, so they felt there wasn''t much wok in what Chen Lihua wanted them to do. But who were they to complain?. So the smiled at her in understanding.


    Liu Longwei stared daggers at the male makeup artist as he felt the guy was smiling too much. They makeup artist caught that look and smiled awkwardly as he didn''t know what he did wrong.


    As Chen Lihua saw all these happen, she started chasing Liu Longwei away, but he said that he has never seen her hair down, as her hair was always covered or styled.


    But Chen Lihua still chased him awa, telling him that he still had many oppurtunities to see it since she was his wife.


    She told him to get the gifts he prepared before hand ready as well. And then, Liu Longwei had no choice than to leave after giving a final look at his wife and a glare directed at the makeup artist.


    After he left, Chen Lihua smiled at them, "don''t mind him, and feel free to go on with your work. We can chat while you work, but you have to be fast as well".


    They two could now finally relax their minds, and so they happily started with their work.


    As they did their work, they happily chatted with Chen Lihua.


    After styling her hair in a high bun, the hairstylist inserted some silver hairpins and clips to decorate the hair.


    After they were done with their work, they complimented Chen Lihua before packing their tools.


    Then Chen Lihua looked at herself in the mirrow given to her by the makeup artist and was satisfied with her look. So she transfered their payments to them with her phone right there, and also gave them some cash to serve as tips.


    They were so happy and thanked Chen Lihua over and over again. They makeup artitst then helped Chen Lihua to put on her pearl earrings and bangle before leaving with the hair stylist.


    With a smile, Chen Lihua walked out of her room looking elegant and youthful.


    She received so many stares and compliments from the servants and even from her husband.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei left in one of the most Luxirous car''s in the World, the latest black ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM.


    They were escorted by four black cars. Two in front and two at the back.


    Chen Lihua stared at Liu LOngwei speechlessly while wondering how many car collections he had.


    They stopped in front of the Chen Mall, and Chen Lihua went in there with two bodyguards tailing behind her while Liu Longwei sat in the car to wait for her.


    Chen Lihua bought a fruit basket, a bottle of wine and some health tonics.


    These things were put into the car she was sitting with Liu Longwei.


    When he saw what she bought, Liu Longwei was surprised and so said, "I thought you were going to buy the whole mall, so what''s with this?".


    Chen Lihua responded, "What do you know?".


    "I know nothing". Liu Longwei answered.


    "It''s my first visit to your family house, and first impresssion matters. Should i buy expensive things to show that am very rich?. There''s sincerity in the things i bought, health supplements and the rest, even if they are not expensive. And am sure your family will understand me well through these gifts". Chen Lihua explained.


    "Ok ma''am". Liu Longwei replied with a smile, in understanding.

 Chapter 136 - Try not to provoke me.

    Chen Lihua responded, "What do you know?".


    "I know nothing". Liu Longwei answered.


    "It''s my first visit to your family house, and first impresssion matters. Should i buy expensive things to show that am very rich?. There''s sincerity in the things i bought, health supplements and the rest, even if they are not expensive. And am sure your family will understand me well through these gifts". Chen Lihua explained.


    "Ok ma''am". Liu Longwei replied with a smile, in understanding.


    But suddenly, he asked Chen Lihua to sit on his laps. And Chen Lihua thought that something was wrong with him.


    "What''s wrong with you?, are you having a high fever?". She mocked.


    "Am perfectly fine". Liu Longwei said.


    "If you''re perfectly ok, why would you want me to sit on your laps when am very comfortable with where am seating on?". Chen Lihua retorted.


    Liu Longwei answered, still looking at her with hope, "Ypo smell so nice, and i think you''re sitting to far away from me for me to be satisfied. I suddingly hate this partion inbetween us".


    Chen Lihua just stuck out her tongue at him.


    Liu Longwei was really bothered, and so he continued to plead with her while promising not to touch her randomly.


    Chen Lihua scoffed, "You promise not to touch me, and you expect me to believe you?. What a big joke".


    "Am i that unbelievable. This is a serious case. If you can''t even trust me, then i''ve actually faied. But i really promise you this time around that i wouldn''t touch ypou randomly. At least this be an opportunity for you to test my our trust". Liu Longwei pleaded with her.


    Chen Lihua placed her palm on her forehead while saying, "Oh My God!". Then while lowering her body, she came close to him and said, "Now i''ve come, won''t you keep your legs well, so i can seat on them?, Or do you want me to go back to my seat?". Chen Lihua asked as she tried going back to her seat.


    It was now the dazed Liu Longwei came back to his senses, and so he immediately straightened his legs and pulled her to sit on them.


    "I didn''t think you would agree". Liu Longwei said surprised.


    "I hate noise, and so couldn''t stand your continous whining because it is irritating. So i prefare my peace". Chen Lihua said.


    "Oh"!. Liu Longwei exclaimed. Then with a hand on her waist to support her back, he started sniffing in her scent.


    "Why are you sniffing my body like that?". Chen Lihua asked, and a reply came immediately, "Because i like the fragrance on your body.


    Chen Lihua looked towards the driver''s seat and saw that the chauffeur and the bodyguard wasn''t paying an attention to them, so she relaxed but still cautined him, "You''d better stop your nonsense now. What''s the use of sitting on your laps if you keep sniffing my body like that. And besides my dress will get rumpled".


    "Am sorry". Liu Longwei apologised as he stopped sniffing her body.


    "I think you should start speaking full Chinese now, so you will get used to it before we get to our destination. Although nobody will berate you because of it.


    "I know. i will switch once we get to our destination. At least my practices these few days was not for nothing". Chen Lihua said.


    "Suit yourself Madam. But how come you''re not nervous?". Liu Longwei raised the question that suddenly came to his mind, from his observation.


    "What''s there to be nervous of?". Chen Lihua asked. But Liu Longwei looked at her before smiling.


    Looking up at the roof of the car, Chen Lihua smiled as she admired the stars.


    Seeing the fascinating look on her face, Liu Longwei smiled even more and asked in Spanish, "Would you like some wine, beautiful lady?".


    Chen Lihua looked at him and replied back in Spanish, "No thank you?".


    "Why?". He asked, returning back to his normal speech.


    "My stomach needs food and not wine". Chen Lihua replied.


    "That reminds me that we didn''t eat before leaving the house as we were in a hurry. But not to worry, i got something else for us". With that, Liu Lo gwei incresed the strenght in his voice, "Pass me the bag".


    The bodyguard responded immediately by passing the bag, and Chen Lihua took it from him and suddenly became a peeping Tom.


    "What''s in there?".


    "Yoghurt". Liu Longwei answered.


    "My mouth will retain the smell, so how am i supposed to talk to your family?". Chen Lihua questioned.


    Liu Longwei looke at her speechlessly, "I have some mint draggys in my pocket, so you can be rest assured".


    "I would have to thank you then". Chen Lihua said as she returned back to her seat.


    Liu Longwei suddenly felt empty. But before he could voice out his thoughts, Chen Lihua passed him a bottle while saying, "Here''s your share. Take Note: Do not serve me a bottled drink without a straw next time".


    Instead of replying her, Liu Longwei passed her a glass cup, and she said her thanks before treating herself to the bottle of sweetened youghurt.


    Liu Longwei suddenly felt that he would live much younger if he argued less with her.


    He too unscrewed the cap of the bottle and enjoyed himself.


    As the approached the Villa, Chen Lihua suddenly became nervous.


    She asked Liu Longwei to take a good look at her to see if anything was out of place. Liu Longwei looked at her, obviously surprised, but still complied with her.


    He ended up replying, "Nothing is out of place, you look perfect",


    "I know your mother loves me already, but do you think other members of your family will like me too". Chen Lihua threw another surpring question at him.


    "Of course. Who wouldn''t like you".


    Having understood her situation, Liu Longwei smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?.


    But he got a sincere reply, "Who wouldn''t be. Ok, try not to provoke me at this point". Chen Lihua warned him seriously.

 Chapter 137 - A warm welcome.

    "I know your mother loves me already, but do you think other members of your family will like me too". Chen Lihua threw another surpring question at him.


    "Of course. Who wouldn''t like you".


    Having understood her situation, Liu Longwei smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?.


    But he got a sincere reply, "Who wouldn''t be. Ok, try not to provoke me at this point". Chen Lihua warned him seriously.


    And Liu Longwei raised his hands in surrender, "You don''t need to be nervous. Just smile and treat them the same way you treat your patients".


    But all he got for his wonderful suggestion was a smack on his head.


    Just then, their convoy drove into the premises. The distance from the gate to the villa is something else. So they had to drive for about 3 minutes to get there.


    As their cars parked, Chen Lihua breathed in and out, so Liu Longwei had to squeeze her palm gently to calm her.


    "Relax". He said to her.


    There was something about the look that accompanied that consolation Chen Lihua didn''t find it funny. But that made her to muster up more courage.


    After throwing him a glance, the door was opened for her by the bodyguard, and she came down.


    Liu Longwei came down as well as he buttoned up his suit jacket. Then he walked to her side to stand together with her.


    Just as they were abou to take a step, Madam Liu came out with a handsome middle aged man with all smiles on their faces.


    "My son and daughter-in-law are here". Madam Liu said as she walked up to them and embraced Chen Lihua happily.


    Then she pecked her on the cheek as the father and son looked on in astonishment as Chen Lihua returned the kiss as well.


    Chen Lihua was released from her embrace and with all smiles she asked, "Mother am so happy to see you, and you are looking younger than the last time i saw you".


    Madam Liu raised her brows and aske dwhile lightly patting her cheeks with a smile, "Oh! thank you daughter".


    It didn''t take up to two seconds before the two women laughed out loud.


    "You just acted and sounded like Lady Chen". Chen Lihua said, suddenly missing her mother.


    "Yes, and i did it purposely. Your mother is really a character. I wish she was here to make things more lively". Madam Liu sighed before saying, "But you don''t have to worry as things will


    get lively soon".


    "Honey won''t you give me a chance to greet my daughter-in-law as well?". The middle aged man who has long been forgotten interrupted.


    "Oh that''s right. Honey meet Lihua, your daughter-in-law, she''s Lady Chen''s daughter. Lihua meet my husband, Longwei''s father, your father-in-law". Madam Liu introduced happily, but leaving the three speechless.


    In other to leave the awkward atmosphere, Chen Lihua had to quickly greet her father-in-law.


    She bowed her head as she said her greetings in pure chinese, "Good evening father, it''s nice to see you".


    Although her greeting sounded foreign, nobody found any fault with her.


    Liu Longwei''s father, Liu Huang smiled with satifactiin as he patted Chen Lihua''s shoulder, "Hello, it''s nice to see you too".


    Suddenly remembering her Son, Madam Liu looked at him. and as their eyes met, she smiled awkwardly as she said, "Let''s go in quickly as the others have already been waiting for a while".


    Liu Longwei just shook his head, ''I just got a wife and i''ve already been forgotten. If i have a child, what will be my fate?.


    Maybe i wouldn''t even be recognized''. Liu Longwei said to himself bitterly.


    With Madam Liu and Master Liu leading the way, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei followed behind.


    Just as Liu Longwei tried holding her waist, Chen Lihua smiled and warned him in a gentle tone, "No PDA (Public Display of Affection) today. This is your home, and we are here to see the elders, so behave, no getting touchy".


    Liu Longwei quietly withdrew his hand with a smile. He didn''t raise any objection, which seemed to imply that he understood what she was talking about. And that''s unlike him when it gets to the matter of being touchy.


    They walked through a hall way before entering through a door. The second door was opened by the servants who had their heads lowered.


    As soon as Chen Lihua walked into the livivg room, she saw an old lady sitting, talking and laughing with a a younger lady.


    Another young lady was sitting in a dignified manner with two kids sitting o each of her sides, two girls.


    Just as they entered, the old lady looked towards their direction. Not Only her, all eyes were on them.


    Madam Liu didn''t delay in introducing Chen Lihua to everybody who were currently in that room.


    Holding her hand, she introduced them one after the other.


    "Lihua this is my mother-in-law". Chen Lihua bowed ang greeted the old lady with a smile.


    "Come to me my Child". The old lady said.


    Chen Lihua had no choice to to walk to where the old lady was sitting.


    The old lady gently held her hands as she looked up to her with a bright smile, "You are very beautiful. I''ve heard so much about you from my daughter-in-law. And you look so much like your mother".


    Chen Lihua said truthfully, "thank you so much grandma for the compliments. You look good as well, you are very healthy at this age unlike some other people of your age".


    The old Lady and everyone in the living room except the lady with the two kids laughed heartily.


    "Good good". The old lady said happily after laughing for a while.


    And then, Madam Liu continued with the introoductions.


    "Lihua this is my eldest daughter, Longwei''s immediate junior, Liu Huiling".


    "Hello sister Huiling, it''s nice to meet you". Chen Lihua greeted with a dignified smile.


    Liu Huiling sized her up for two seconds before finaly nodding with a satisfied smile.


    "It''s nice to meet you too. You are indeed as beautiful and elegant as your name says".

 Chapter 138 - A playboy younger brother.

    "Hello sister Huiling, it''s nice to meet you". Chen Lihua greeted with a dignified smile.


    Liu Huiling sized her up for two seconds before finaly nodding with a satisfied smile.


    "It''s nice to meet you too. You are indeed as beautiful and elegant as your name says".


    "Thank you". Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    She even took the initiative to introduce her two daughters to her.


    "This is Cherry, she''s five years old and this is little apple, she just turned three. And they''re my children".


    Madam Liu laughed after the introduction and asked Chen Lihua, "You find their names weird right?".


    Chen Lihua smiled as she didn''t know how to respond.


    But then, someone answered on her behalf.


    "I know you agree with my mom. When she first gave birth and named her cherry, I found the name cute. But when she gave birth for the second time and named her Apple, I began to wonder if she lacked those fruits during their her pregnancy". The lady beside the grandma said as she laughed out loud, and others followed suit.


    Liu Huiling rolled her eyes at the lady who started the commotion before continuing with the conversation.


    Honestly, Chen Lihua found it weird that a lady with that kind of demeanor as Liu Huiling would name her daughters that way. But who was she to be against it?. So she smiled embarrassingly.


    "Cherry, little apple, hurry up and say hello to your Aunt". Liu Huiling said to her daughters.


    "Hello Aunt it''s nice to meet you". Cherry says.


    "It''s nice to me you too darling". Chen Lihua smiled as she shook her hand.


    "Wow Aunty, you''re beautiful". Little apple says, as she smiled in amazement.


    "Thank you so much darling, and you''re pretty too". Chen Lihua smiled as she caressed the little girl''s jaw.


    The little girl blinked her eyes before hugging her mother''s arm while trying to hide her little face.


    "Oh my God! She''s shy". Chen Lihua said, smiling.


    "Yes that''s how she responds when someone she''s not too familiar with touches her, she becomes shy". Liu Huiling said to Chen Lihua with a smile.


    "Meet my second daughter". Madam Liu said as she pointed to the young lady in ripped jeans and a T-shirt, who was sitting beside the granny.


    "She''s Liu Dongmei. Don''t get too close to her because she can be very mischievous".


    Madam Liu said as she looked at Chen Lihua.


    "Come on mother, how can you degrade me just on my first meeting with my sister-in-law".


    Liu Dongmei said as she stood up with a frown.


    But then she gave a cunning smile and asked while looking around, "But I don''t think am that bad right grandma?".


    "There''s nothing wrong with you, you''re my gist partner". Grandma Liu smiled as she defended her with a doting smile.


    "Father what about you?". She asked her father who had a smile on his handsome face.


    "You''re my beloved daughter, so how could I find faults with you?". Liu Huang said.


    Liu Dongmei nodded with satisfaction before looking at her older brother, "What about you brother, what can you add to the already positive sequential comments about me?".


    Liu Longwei rubbed his temples and said, "You''re all good".


    With a wide smile, she turned to Liu Huiling "Elder sister what about you?".


    Liu Huiling snorted as she couldn''t be bothered with her.


    Liu Dongmei rolled her eyes and then said to her mother with a smile.


    "You see mother, I have good comments from everyone except from someone who is jealous".


    "Whatever". Madam Liu said as she sat on the sofa after she was done with the introductions.


    Liu Dongmei then faced Chen Lihua who was still standing.


    "Hello sister-in-law, it''s an honor for me to meet the world''s latest genius, the youngest cardiologist in the world, and the highest paid model in the world. I know there are other mind blowing things about you, but I will stop here for now before my brain explodes". Liu Dongmei said as she made a funny face before strectching her hand out with a smile.


    "Thanks for the compliment, and am honored as well, to receive all these compliments from the high ranked painter in the world. I love your works". Chen Lihua shook her hand in a handshake.


    "You love my works? Really?". Liu Dongmei asked with shining eyeballs.


    "Of course I do and everyone does". I have a total of 8 of your paintings. Two here in country C and six still abroad, but they would be shipped soon". Chen Lihua said with a smile hanging on her lips.


    "For your sincerity and love for my works, I will gift you any painting of your choice. So whenever you get the chance out your busy schedule, contact me and I will be at your doorstep". Liu Dongmei said as she gently patted Chen Lihua''s shoulder.


    "Thank you". Chen Lihua said graciously.


    And then, they both sat down.


    Liu Dongmei sat on her original position. And as Chen Lihua turned to look for where to sit, Liu Longwei called out to her.


    "Lihua come and sit beside me". He said as he slightly patted the empty space next to him.


    As he has already said it to everyone''s hearing, Chen Lihua couldn''t disobey him, and so, she sat beside him.


    "Someone is missing". Madam Liu said suddenly.


    "Yeah, and that''s my handsome playboy younger brother". Liu Dongmei said as she smiled brightly and as she rubbed her palms as if she was waiting or listening to an exciting show.


    Then she happily turned to stare at Chen Lihua, "Lihua you really need to see my younger brother, he''s so handsome, more than my elder brother. Am telling you, you will fall in love with him at first site". She giggled at the end of her speech.


    Then all eyes were on her. She didn''t even stress herself as she looked back at them with her her hands spread and asking, "What?, are you all trying to kill me with all those stares?".


    The old granny hit her her gently, her father hissed, her mother gave her a frightening stare, her elder sister rolled her eyes at her and said, "Watch your mouth, there are kids here". Her elder brother looked at her gave her an angry stare as he said, "Are you trying to turn my wife against me right in my presence after I helped you few minutes ago?".


    Liu Longwei couldn''t believe his ears, like seriously.


    Chen Lihua was the only one who looked at her in astonishment, while wondering the world she came out from, because she was surprised that she could talk to her ''sister-in-law'' that way.


    Chen Lihua suddenly found Liu Longwei''s family interesting, and she believed that she wouldn''t ever be bored out her mind with Liu Dongmei around.

 Chapter 139 - Do you love children?.

    Chen Lihua was the only one who looked at her in astonishment, while wondering the world she came out from, because she was surprised that she could talk to her ''sister-in-law'' that way.


    Chen Lihua suddenly found Liu Longwei''s family interesting, and she believed that she won''t ever be bored out of her mind with Liu Dongmei around.


    Liu Longwei''s playboy of a brother will really get it hard from him.


    But seeing that almost every one didn''t like what she said, she apologized, but winked at Chen Lihua.


    Liu Longwei definitely saw that, and so he glared at her, and Liu Dongmei had no choice than to contain her excitement.


    Liu Longwei suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and so he leaned in towards Chen Lihua and whispered in her ears, "My brother is not more handsome than me. I have the kind of mature handsomeness, while his is childish".


    Chen Lihua instinctively leaned away from him when she felt his breath on her ear and neck because it tickled her. But that didn''t stop her from replying.


    "What are you doing?. All eyes are on us. No public display of affection till we leave this house". Chen Lihua whispered to him.


    Liu Longwei was speechless as he thought to himself, ''Did you even get what I just told you before pushing me away?''. But he still respected her decision.


    There''s was a little talk between the adults before a babyish voice was heard.


    "Mommy mommy". That was the voice of a little child as she came running towards Liu Dongmei.


    Liu Dongmei picked the cute little girl up and sat her on her laps while asking, "Heh baby what happened?".


    The little girl smiled and said in her childish voice while pointing at her dress, "Mommy look, I''ve changed my clothes and this outfit fits me a lot more than the previous one".


    "Yeah I can see that, you look beautiful in this outfit". Liu Dongmei said as she pinched the little girl''s cheeks.


    "Let go off my cheeks mommy, it hurts". The little child said as she pulled Liu Dongmei''s hands away from her cheeks.


    Liu Dongmei sighed and said to her, "OK I''ve let go. I want to introduce you to someone".


    "Oh! And who may it be?". The little asked curiously.


    Liu Dongmei answered as she pointed at Chen Lihua''s direction, "That''s Aunt Lihua, she''s my big brother''s wife. Go say hello to her".


    The little girl turned towards the direction Liu Dongmei was pointing at, and there she saw an unamused Liu Longwei, and a smiling Chen Lihua sitting together".


    She had a Wow look on her face, and so she turned to her mother and whispered in her ears, "She''s pretty".


    "I agree with you, so hurry up and say hello to her". Liu Dongmei said as she smiled.


    The little girl struggled free from her mother''s embrace. And as her feet landed on the floor, she walked towards Chen Lihua''s direction.


    She stopped five steps away from her. Then she looked at Liu Longwei who didn''t have a smile on her face and Chen Lihua while had a welcoming smile. So she contemplated for few seconds before finishing her steps.


    Now standing before Chen Lihua, she greeted Liu Longwei uneasily, "Hello uncle".


    Liu Longwei gave a little smile of acknowledgement before he took it back.


    The smile alone eased the little girl''s heart and so she smiled at Chen Lihua as she brought forth her little hand for a handshake.


    "Hello Aunt Lihua, my English name is Annabelle but you can call me Anna like my family and friends do. And as for my Chinese name, I will keep it a secret till our next meeting".


    "Hello beautiful". Chen Lihua smiled and reached out her hand as she shakes the little girl''s hand.


    "She sounds like her mother". Liu Huiling said with a smile.


    "Yeah I know. Always talking about their next meeting". Madam Liu said from the side and everyone burst out in laughter.


    After she shook hands with the pretty chubby little girl, Chen Lihua let her go.


    As the little girl was walking away, the old lady called out to her, "Anna come let great grandma carry you".


    "No thank you great grandma, but am not a baby anymore, so am fine sitting on my own".


    The little girl said as she walked to sit on an empty sofa.


    She climbed unto the sofa and sat down comfortably while stretching out her legs, and began to look around.


    Chen Lihua was amazed, and so she smiled brightly with love in her eyes.


    "I want great grandma to carry me". Little apple said suddenly. But Liu Huiling stopped her with a little scolding, "Great grandma is old and you shouldn''t disturb her. So continue sitting quietly beside me as you''ve been".


    "It''s fine, let her come to me". The old lady said with a smile.


    Little apple looked at her mother, and then at her great grandma. Then she shook her little head, "Great grandma, do not worry anymore, you need to take care of your health. I will go sit with Anna instead".


    "What a sensible child". The old lady said with a smile.


    Just then, the little girl came down from the chair gradually and went to sit with her cousin. They two played with a jigsaw puzzle softly, while cherry remained sitting obediently by her mother''s side.


    "Wow, they two seem to get along really well".


    Chen Lihua said with a smile as she kept on gazing at the little girl''s.


    "Yes, they are agemates. Little apple just clocked three, and Anna is three and a half years old". Madam Liu answered with a smile too.


    Everyone can tell how much she loved her grand kids with that doting smile on her face, and anyone could tell that Chen Lihua loved children as well.


    Liu Longwei who had long noticed that Chen Lihua''s gaze was frequently moving between the three children with a beautiful smile on her face, could not help but ask when he leaned in close to her. "Do you love children?".

 Chapter 140 - Someone more charming than Liu Longwei.

    Liu Longwei who had long noticed that Chen Lihua''s gaze was frequently moving between the three children with a beautiful smile on her face, could not help but ask when he leaned in close to her. "Do you love children?".


    At first, Chen Lihua was startled because she didn''t expect him to cut short her attention.


    But then she smiled and answered him honestly, "I do, I love them so much. There''s this kind of joy and happiness it brings me whenever I see children".


    "That''s lovely". Liu Longwei said, but he couldn''t help but be surprised at himself.


    ''Did I say lovely''. He asked himself. But he definitely knew that his character was changing little by little, but only because of the woman by his side.


    So he watched on as Chen Lihua kept looking at the children at the side.


    Liu Huiling noticed her gaze and asked with a smile, "Lihua do you like children?".


    Chen Lihua retracted her gaze away from the children and then stared at her before replying, "Yes I do".


    "Since you like children, why don''t you quickly make one with my brother?". Liu Dongmei said in a serious tone.


    Chen Lihua was beyond embarrassed because right now, all eyes were on her, and now she felt her cheeks had become hot.


    Liu Longwei was amused when he saw Chen Lihua''s flushed cheeks, and how she was making an effort to hide her blushing face. So he decided to help her.


    He looked at Liu Dongmei and replied her with all manner of seriousness, "We will have children when we want".


    "How can it be like that when sister-in-law likes children very much already?, you still have to give one to her". Liu Dongmei replied.


    "Alright, enough with the teasing. Are you trying to make your sister-in-law embarrassed in your first meeting?". The old lady said and everyone calmed down.


    Looking at the still blushing Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei rubbed her shoulders. And when Chen Lihua looked up at him, she saw his teasing gaze, and she couldn''t help but blush further as she understood the meaning of his gaze.


    It didn''t take long before the entire family were sitting in the dinning room. There were different kinds of assorted foods prepared by the chefs. The foods were ranged from different sizes, shapes to different colors.


    As everyone on the dining chairs, Madam Liu personally served the old lady before picking her dishes.


    The old lady smiled saying, "Lulu I can reach the food myself, am not so old that I can''t even pick my food".


    "Why didn''t you serve me?". Liu Huang asked unsatisfactorily.


    "Your hands are not broken, or are they?".


    Madam Liu said.


    "You.....". Liu Huang stammered.


    "You... What?". Madam Liu mimicked her husband.


    The old lady sighed and said, "You are grandparents now, so why do you keep fighting like newlyweds?. Even the children are looking at you".


    And that was how the fight ended.


    "Let''s eat". The old lady said and so everybody began to move their spoons.


    In the midst of eating, the old lady raised her wine glasses and everyone did so as well.


    "Lihua our Liu family welcome you as our daughter-in-law. Cheers".


    And everyone clinked their wine glasses.


    But just as they were all about to drink from their glasses, a cheerful voice was heard.


    "How could you all toast without me?".


    "There he is". Liu Dongmei said.


    The most surprising thing that happened after that speech was that the voice was totally ignored.


    All the Liu family members drank from their glasses while ignoring the voice.


    Chen Lihua was the only person staring awkwardly. So Liu Longwei had to touch her hand and commanded, "You''re the only one left, drink up".


    That was when Chen Lihua realized that she was the only one who hasn''t drank from her glass. So she smiled and took a sip.


    "Wow! Am I being ignored? This has never happened for centuries". The young man said as he stood staring at them.


    But then he bowed as he apologized, "Am sorry for being late".


    As he looked around the table, his gaze fell on Chen Lihua while was looking down and using her fork and knife.


    "Big brother is that your wife, she''s pretty".


    Then all he got was a sharp gaze from everyone.


    How dare he say that his sister-in-law is pretty right in the presence of everyone, including his brother.


    This comment alone made Liu Longwei remember the grudge he had against him earlier.


    "Are you not sitting?". Liu Longwei asked coldly.


    "Oh that''s right". The young man said as he sat down directly opposite Chen Lihua.


    "But big brother how did I offend you the minute I came in?". He asked confusedly.


    Liu Longwei sneered and didn''t even bother to reply him.


    "Eat your food". Liu Huiling said to him.


    As he served himself, he gazed at Chen Lihua, but she had her face down.


    And as the table was too wide, he dropped his cultlery, stood up, and walked to her side.


    With his hand stretched out, he introduced himself, "Hello sister-in-law, am Liu Liwei".


    Chen Lihua looked at her side, and their gazes met. She saw that he was dressed stylishly, and felt that he had a good sense of style more than his older brother. And he was indeed more charming than Liu Longwei.


    With a polite smile on her face, she stretched her hand out as well, "Hello brother-in-law, am Chen Lihua".


    Seeing this from the side, Liu Longwei became angry and so, he dropped his cultlery which made a noise and gaze a deathly stare at his brother.


    Meeting his brother''s gaze, Liu Liwei retracted his hand and went back to his seat. But then again, he poured some wine into his wine glass and raised it in a toast, "Am pleased to meet you sister-in-law".


    Just as Chen Lihua raised her glass as well, Liu Longwei snatched it from her. Next, he clinked glasses with Liu Liwei before gulping the whole wine down his throat.

 Chapter 141 - Can I touch you baby?.

    Just as Chen Lihua raised her glass as well, Liu Longwei snatched it from her. Next, he clinked glasses with Liu Liwei before gulping the whole wine down his throat.


    Chen Lihua looked at him speechlessly ,but continued eating her food, totally ignoring the whole occurrence.


    Liu Liwei had his mouth agape before grumbling, "Big brother what did you just do?, it''s my first meeting with sister-in-law, and you can''t even let me give a toast to her".


    "Am her husband. So is it wrong for me to take a toast or a drink on her behalf". Liu Longwei asked.


    Liu Liwei was left speechless, as he didn''t even know how to refute him.


    Liu Dongmei who has been staring at them while eating suddenly frowned and dropped her cultleries.


    Then while giving glances at everyone, she sniffed the air as she said, "I smell something".


    Then, Everyone paused with their eating and stared at her in confusion.


    Liu Liwei sniffed the air as well. But as he didn''t percieve anything wrong apart from the foods aroma, he said, "I didn''t perceive anything wrong. Sister are you sure your nose is OK?".


    "Of course my nose is OK, is just that I don''t know why am the only perceiving it". Liu Dongmei answered as she continued to sniff the air.


    "What exactly did you perceive?". Liu Huiling asked.


    "Liu Dongmei then smiled, looking at everyone''s faces, she answered, "I perceive older brother''s jealousy in the air".


    Liu Huiling closed her eyes for three seconds before saying softly, "I must have lost my mind for a moment to have asked you this question". And then, she continued with her eating.


    The old lady laughed softly. But without saying anything, she continued with her food.


    Father Liu was about putting food in his mouth when he heard the joke, so he sighed softly before putting the food in his mouth.


    "You''d better not misbehave at the dining table". Madam Liu cautioned Liu Dongmei, and the latter smiled before continuing with her food.


    Laughter escaped from Liu Liwei''s mouth, but he was forced to stop laughing when Liu Longwei directed a glare at him.


    Chen Lihua was trying so hard not to laugh, but she ended up choking as there was food in her mouth at the time the joke was cracked.


    As Liu Longwei looked at how his wife was holding in her laughter, he should have felt angry, but he didn''t because that charming face of hers intoxicated him, and so he rubbed her back gently and handed her a glass of water while saying, "If you want to laugh, then do it well instead of choking yourself".


    Chen Lihua then received the water, thanked him and took a sip from it.


    As Liu Liwei looked at his older brother''s behavior, he felt that his treatment towards him was unfair because the glare he sent towards him could send a simple minded person straight to the grave.


    But looking at this same brother of his was taking good care of his wife without cautioning her in the list, he felt that he was indeed pitiful.


    After the hearty dinner, the whole family chatted for a while.


    "Longwei the servants have sent your bags to the room, so hurry up and take Lihua to change her dress and sleep". Madam Liu said to her son.


    There was a flash of surprise in Chen Lihua''s eyes because Liu Longwei didn''t tell her they were to spend the night there, and when did he pack her clothes without her knowing?.


    Liu Longwei felt somewhat pleased when he didn''t see Chen Lihua react to show that she wasn''t aware of his arrangements.


    So Liu Longwei held her hand and got up. Having said their goodnights to everyone, Liu Longwei led her upstairs to his room.


    Chen Lihua looked around the room, and felt that if Liu Longwei ever change his taste in room deco, she would really give him a hats off.


    The room had the same colors and patterns with his room in his Villa.


    Chen Lihua sat on the bed, and started removing her jewelries as she praised Liu Longwei for his high taste, instead of asking about spending the night there.


    Chen Lihua didn''t ask because she felt that the situation wouldn''t change if she asked.


    Liu Longwei was surprised that she didn''t bring up the topic of him not informing her beforehand about spending the night in the Liu Villa. And because of this, he felt that he was woman has grown up.


    After removing her jewelries, Chen Lihua picked up her phone to order some things from Chen''s mall.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei took their bath seperately.


    Chen Lihua downed a thin night gown with the robe hiding her skin. And as usual, Liu Longwei wore a white set of pyjamas. And both lay on each side of the bed.


    Since Chen Lihua slept earlier, she wasn''t feeling sleepy now. So she just layed on the bed with her eyes opened.


    "Baby can I touch you"?. Liu Longwei suddenly asked as he closed in on her.


    Chen Lihua was first startled by the sudden body contact since she backed him and also with the ''baby'' of a thing . But then she relaxed and asked, "What if I say no?".


    Chen Lihua asked this question to ensure she had the right to decide on the matter.


    "Then there won''t be a problem, I will always respect your decisions". Liu Longwei answered without his deep voice.


    Chen Lihua became satisfied at his answer.


    "But we are in your family''s house". Chen Lihua said worriedly.


    Liu Longwei placed his hand on her arm and replied, "Don''t worry, the room is soundproofed, and so nobody will here us".


    Chen Lihua took a deep breath before saying, "Ok, but don''t go too far".


    Having heard a positive reply from her, Liu Longwei felt happy and excited, and also suddenly liked Chen Lihua more because she was willingly to compromise for his sake.

 Chapter 142 - How Lady Chen got her title.

    Chen Lihua took a deep breath before saying, "Ok, but don''t go too far".


    Having heard a positive reply from her, Liu Longwei felt happy and excited, and also suddenly liked Chen Lihua more because she was willing to compromise for his sake.


    But just as he was about laying his hands on her, Chen Lihua reminded him in a soft tone, "Switch of the lights".


    Liu Longwei knew that his wife was already a shy person and isn''t used to it. So he switched off the lights before continuing with his work.


    But that didn''t end there as Chen Lihua insisted that he covered them with the duvet.


    Liu Longwei could only listen to her as he was getting impatient.


    In the middle of their makeout session, Liu Longwei wanted Chen Lihua to touch him, but the latter refused. Liu Longwei even tried using her hands to caress his body, but she withdrew her hand from his grasp.


    Liu Longwei found the situation weird, and so he asked, "Why do you refuse to touch me, don''t you like my body?".


    Chen Lihua was silent for some seconds before explaining, "I like your body, it''s muscular and sexy. But it''s just that I feel so embarrassed touching you just like that, am not used to it".


    "You have to get used to it. Just see the way I touch you and you like it and get turned in. So don''t you want me to experience the same feelings as you when I caress you?". Liu Longwei said as his eyes glued on hers.


    "jeez!". Chen Lihua exclaimed, which meant that she was getting pissed off.


    "Am not in the mood now as I''ve been stressed out lately. But once we are wedded, I will naturally touch your body".


    "I didn''t know you were tired. So that''s why you''ve been responding slowly to my touches. You should have told me earlier about, then I wouldn''t bother you. By enduring this, it makes me look like an inconsiderate person".


    Liu Longwei said.


    Then he sat up on the bed. While helping Chen Lihua to tidy her clothes, he said, "I won''t disturb you again. So sleep".


    After helping her with her dress, he climbed off the bed and went into the bathroom. And Chen Lihua could only watch on.


    She kind of knew what he went into the bathroom for. So, she felt pity on him and almost called him back, but she held herself back while consoling herself by saying she would make it up to him after their wedding, in which she really did so.


    The next morning, they whole family gathered together to have breakfast. One or two jokes were cracked, and every one laughed heartily except for Liu Longwei who looked as if he was forced to laugh because he only gave a smile.


    After breakfast, the old lady smiled at Chen Lihua before praising her for the first time gifts she bought. Since the old lady really liked the tonics so much, she was naturally happy and satisfied with Chen Lihua, because the latter bought fruits and tonics which were beneficial to health.


    Even though the gifts might look small, the old lady understood Chen Lihua''s intentions because the latter placed an importance to their health and so valued the gifts.


    Chen Lihua smiled and replied, "Granny you don''t have to thank me as this is the least I could do. If you thank me for these little gifts, then I won''t feel like your granddaughter-in-law anymore".


    Everyone laughed heartily including the old lady. Then she said, "look at your mouth, you talk just like your mother".


    Then with a smile, the old lady continued, "When will Ju Ju return to the screens again?, it''s been ages since I last saw her acting skills on the screens".


    Chen Lihua first took a deep breath before answering with a smile, "Granny my mother hasn''t mentioned about returning to the screens for a long time, so I don''t know her thoughts on it".


    "OK, I think I have to ask her myself. Her acting skills in the series ''Lady Chen'' brought her a lot of fame. And I don''t know why she quit at the pick of her career. But all''s good". The old lady said.


    Yeah now, you all must have found out the reason Lady Chen is addressed as so. Lady Chen starred in a TV series where she answered the name Lady Chen. In that series, she was among the Imperial consorts. And was the Emperor''s favorite because of her strong character.


    Chen Lihua''s facial expression changed, because she was the only one who knew the reason her mother quit her acting career to focus solely on business. But to not ruin the atmosphere and to avoid questions, she tried to keep a smile on her face.


    But all these changes didn''t escape Liu Longwei''s eyes. He had a thought that Lady Chen quiting her acting career wasn''t a simple thing. But he couldn''t question Chen Lihua since she didn''t tell him anything, so he let her be in order not to bring up any ugly experiences through his questions.


    "Grandma, we have to go as we are both busy with our work. Lihua has an urgent meeting at the hospital in an hour, and I have something important to attend to as well". Liu Longwei suddenly said.


    "Oh! You should have told me earlier so I won''t keep our doctor here for a gist". The old lady said to him before looking at Chen Lihua, "Since you have a meeting at the hospital, then you have to hurry up and go. But you still have to visit me".


    Chen Lihua smiled and nodded her head in agreement, "Granny don''t worry, once I get the slightest chance away from work, I will definitely visit you".


    The old lady was satisfied with her answer, and so allowed them to leave.


    Before leaving, Chen Lihua spoke to her sister-in-laws and hugged the three little girls who didn''t want her to leave.


    So Chen Lihua had to squat in other for her communication with them not to seem distant.


    "Don''t worry, I will come back to take you out. But for now, Aunty has to go to the hospital to save lives".

 Chapter 143 - Gifts for the kids.

    Chen Lihua had to squat in other for her communication with them not to seem distant.


    "Don''t worry, I will come back to take you out. But for now, Aunty has to go to the hospital to save lives".


    "Wow! am proud of you Auntie". Little Apple said in astonishment.


    "OK Auntie, but you have to keep your promise". Little Anna said.


    "Goodbye Auntie and see you soon". Little Cherry said.


    Chen Lihua was pulled up by Liu Longwei, and the Two left the Liu residence.


    In the car, Liu Longwei said to her, "we had to leave immediately before mother notice my car, otherwise it would automatically belong to her".


    Chen Lihua chuckled, "You''re so funny. But there''s nothing bad with giving the car to her. And maybe you could buy the white one because I prefer that colour even though it''s very noticeable".


    "Since you like the white one, then I will give this one to her and buy the white one. And it''s no big deal because I have the money". Liu Longwei said, winking.


    "And I will have to trouble you to tidy up everything about our weddings soon, and take a leave from the hospital because we will be announcing our wedding soon. I don''t want anyone to disturb you after the announcement. And I want you to use that opportunity to rest and fatten up". Liu Longwei said after a while.


    Chen Lihua thought for a while before agreeing with his suggestions with a sly smile on, "That''s a good idea. And I think I''ll be very busy from now onwards. So, I trust you will stay away from my body and room for a while".


    Liu Longwei didn''t have much to say to her, he could only stare at her for a few seconds with a light smile hanging on his lips before turning away in agreement.


    Seeing that he agreed, Chen Lihua brought up other things with him.


    "I don''t agree with your idea of fattening me up before the wedding. I''ve already sent my measurements for my white wedding gown to a designer in Paris. Although the gown could still be altered, but I like my slim nature best".


    "Suit yourself, Miss Chen". Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    "It''s been a while since I heard you call me that". Chen Lihua said.


    "Well, I''ve booked a florist, photographer and DJ. I even booked a group of violinists, I like to hear the sound from the violin. There will be performers as well. I''ve chosen my Bride''s maids attire. What about you, have you chosen yours".


    "Yeah, I chose Navy blue suit. So they decided to choose their style and settle their bills". Liu Longwei replied without a care.


    "I will speak to Vivian to add navy blue to the decorations and think of how to make the whole colours match. I thought you would have paid for the Groom''s men attire because that''s the right thing to do. Am paying for the Bride''s maids attires. They only have to choose their styles, and the work is done. Am preparing two different colours of attires for them. One for the Church, and one for the reception. They will all have one style for the church wedding. But for the reception, they can find their personal designers and go crazy with their styles, but I will foot their bills. So do the same for yours". Chen Lihua then breathed after talking for so long.


    If not for Liu Longwei''s capabilities, I don''t think he would have understood everything Chen Lihua talked about, because she talked really fast and long.


    Liu Longwei looked at her in amazement. And Chen Lihua caught his gaze and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    Liu Longwei gave a smile, "Nothing. But I heard and agree with everything you said. I''ve told you, that you just have to make the decisions and only let me know about it".


    "Oh! I chose seven Bride''s maids, including the chief Bride''s maid". Chen Lihua said.


    Liu Longwei let out a sigh and couldn''t help asking, "You are really serious with our wedding".


    "Of course I have to be serious. Our wedding is going public and so must be perfect. I won''t tolerate a simple or a tiny bit of mistake on my wedding. I know am soft hearted, but not when it comes to my wedding because I won''t tolerate any nonsense from anyone". Chen Lihua said in a serious note.


    Liu Longwei looked at her and could only console himself because she was really planning so hard for their wedding.


    Before dropping her off at the hospital''s underground car park, Chen Lihua gave him the last order before they parted ways.


    "You will be in charge of purchasing souvenirs for our guests. So I will send you the items to purchase via your E-mail. You don''t need to pick me up after work, just send my car to me. Goodbye and have a nice day".


    Liu Longwei just watched on as Chen Lihua cat walked her way out. He was indeed speechless. But what can he do? Nothing at all. So he made a call to arrange for her transportation back to their house before driving off.


    Thirty minutes after Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei left the Liu Villa, the three little girls received two beautiful packages each from Chen Lihua.


    And when the opened their packages without the help of anyone, they were dazzled with what the saw.


    They each saw a beautiful dress, sneakers and soft Teddy bear with children creative books in their box.


    They were so happy that the immediately tried out their dresses and sneakers before asking their uncle ''Liu Liwei'' to take pictures of them.


    After taking the pictures, they walked around the house, showing off their outfits to everyone.


    By mere looking at the children, you can tell how happy they were.


    Not only the little girls were happy, the adults were also happy and surprised by Chen Lihua''s generosity.


    Seeing her great grandkids walk around with those outfits, the old lady became the happiest.

 Chapter 144 - Sniffing the fiery red Roses.

    So as Chen Lihua came into the hospital, she received a call from Liu Dongmei. She didn''t even get to hear her voice before three different lively voices invaded the phone.


    The little girls were literally screaming as they thanked Chen Lihua.


    Their voices alone made a beautiful smile appear on Chen Lihua''s face. But that smile didn''t go by just like that as that smile was captured in a shot unknowingly to both parties.


    Chen Lihua had her white coat on her arm, and her shoulder bag on the same hand. A phone placed on her ear, a smile on her face.


    Then her dressing nailed it. She wore a long rainbow coloured shirt that was free on her body, a tight black trouser, and a pair of white Nike sneakers.


    From her outfit, I think Mr Liu has a good taste when it comes to selecting clothes for his wife.


    So as she walked by with that smile on her face and with a feet forward, the picture was taken. Then she continued walking away with that beautiful smile on her face.


    "Heh! Am leaving you behind". A middle aged female nurse said.


    "Oh! Am coming". A teenage boy answered hurriedly.


    Then he took his phone from the person standing in front of him slipped it into his trousers pocket without looking at it, while showing appreciation for the pictures before leaving with the nurse in a hurry.


    Done with the call, Chen Lihua went into the meeting room for the morning meeting scheduled for her.


    The meeting held was all about the patient that will receive a heart transplant in the next two months.


    You know planning for things before time is the best way to escape emergencies or any contingencies. And it will help everyone involved (The doctors, nurses and patients) to be relaxed before that day. Like the idiom ''Make hay while the sun shines''.


    During her free time, Chen Lihua sent an email to Liu Longwei.


    When the time to get off work came and Chen Lihua still hasn''t received any calls yet for her car, she decided to call her husband.


    The call was received on the first ring, as he has been waiting for her call.


    "Hello, where''s my car? Am about to get off work". Chen Lihua said.


    "Come to the Underground parking lot in ten minutes time". Liu Longwei said as he terminated the call.


    At first, Chen Lihua thought that he forgot to notify about the car arrangements. So that was the reason she called him, but only to be surprised by him. She started wondering when Liu Longwei became so slow in making simple arrangements, or maybe it slipped his mind.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she looked at the already blank screen. Then she sighed again and unscrewed a bottle of water before drinking from it.


    When ten minutes was up, she took her properties with her and went to the underground parking lot.


    If not for the bodyguard who called out to her, she would have continued looking around for her car.


    So the bodyguard guided her back to the car that dropped her off at work that morning.


    Before she could say anything, the bodyguard had already opened the car door for her. So she could only keep the words to herself.


    As she sat without paying attention, she was greeted by a smiling face.


    Liu Longwei had a smile on his handsome face. Then with a hand on his jaw, he stared at Chen Lihua and said with his deep voice, as he Presented her with fiery red roses "Hello beautiful, permit me to take you out on a date".


    Chen Lihua was speechless for a while. But then that smile, and sexy look he had on as he handed the flowers to her, actually made a smile appear on her face.


    So with a smile on her face, and with her dimples on display, she took the flowers from his face and sniffed them.


    Taking the flowers from him without saying anything was also a way to show that she accepted his proposal.


    ''Katcha'' that was the sound of the camera shutter. As Chen Lihua raised her smiling face to see, Liu Longwei slipped his phone into his pocket and explained with a smile, "I wanted to capture the beautiful moment on camera".


    Chen Lihua didn''t say anything, but left behind a smile. So Liu Longwei quickly gave her a peck on her cheek before commanding the driver to drive off.


    Liu Longwei took her to a steak house.


    As they sat on their reserved table, their steak was served immediately with a bottle of red wine. Then the wine was popped open and the contents poured into their wine glasses.


    As the waiters left, Liu Longwei toasted with Chen Lihua, and the each drank from their respective glasses.


    While they ate their steak, Liu Longwei asked, "Hope you haven''t forgotten that you owe me a meal. You promised to cook for me, so when will I be honoured to try your cooking?".


    Chen Lihua took a sip from her wine before answering with a smile, "I haven''t forgotten about it. I will cook for you very soon. How about the weekend I take leave from the hospital".


    "I''ll be anticipating then. While taking a leave from the hospital, take a month and two weeks leave. If you have trouble asking for one, then I''ll help you". Liu Longwei said as he wiped his lips with the serviette.


    "Don''t worry, I can ask for leave myself. But why does it have to be that long?" Chen Lihua asked confusedly.


    Liu Longwei stared at her for a while, but then smiled suddenly and answered, "We have to travel somewhere for our honeymoon, so I can have the ''alone time'' to know you better".


    And as he said so, his gaze roamed around her body.


    Chen Lihua saw his eyes movements and knew he was teasing her. But she laughed over it and asked for them to go home since they were done with their food and drinks.

 Chapter 145 - Trying to make her feel good.

    Liu Longwei stared at her for a while, but then smiled suddenly and answered, "We have to travel somewhere for our honeymoon, so I can have the ''alone time'' to know you better".


    And as he said so, his gaze roamed around her body.


    Chen Lihua saw his eyes movements and knew he was teasing her. But she laughed over it and asked for them to go home since they were done with their food and drinks.


    Liu Longwei stared at her with his sexy eyes, but then he leaned over the table and said, " I have a secret to tell you, lean over".


    Chen Lihua was indeed curious about his secret that couldn''t wait till they were home.


    And so she leaned over to hear him even though that position was something else. But then again it was understandable since he wanted to share his secret to her in a public place.


    As she leaned over, Liu Longwei whispered seductively to her ear, "I love your body, and I want to have sex with you mere looking at it".


    These seductive words alone made her blush in embarrassment whenever she remembered this conversation. So it was good that Liu Longwei didn''t tell her this at home, otherwise, she would have conceded to him.


    Chen Lihua was beyond embarrassed as her cheeks became flushed with a tinge if red.


    Then she watched Liu Longwei lean away with a satisfied smirk on his face, looking as if he had done nothing.


    Chen Lihua looked at her surroundings carefully to see if anyone was paying attention to them, but didn''t see any. So she covered her face with her palms to hide her blush.


    Peeping from between her fingers, she said to Liu Longwei as her voice contained a little laughter.


    "Longwei you are so bad. How could you tell me those raw words in public? You should have thought of diluting it before saying it, and now you have made me so embarrassed that I don''t know where to keep my face. Just thinking of your words, I don''t know how to face you".


    Liu Longwei helped her up with a hand and carried her bag as he lead her out of the steak house. Then before he entered the Rolls-Royce, he told the driver and bodyguards to give them space which they all did.


    In the car, Chen Lihua now had her hands off her face, but she now had her head down because she was still embarrassed.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he caressed her face, "you said you were embarrassed, so I brought you to the car and sent everyone else away, and you still can''t look at me".


    Chen Lihua breathed heavily while fluttering her eyelashes as she blamed him, "How could you use those strong words, you should have known that I would be embarrassed. I am a conservative person and can''t talk about that openly with you. Now your words has made me to start thinking of those rotten scenes".


    Liu Longwei laughed out loud as he said to her, "So you know about sex and how it''s done".


    Chen Lihua glanced at him and admitted, "Why won''t I know about it, I am an adult".


    Liu Longwei nodded in understanding before teasing her further, "How did you know about it?".


    "Biology class and from my friends abroad". Chen Lihua answered.


    Liu Longwei asked with a smile, "I don''t want to hear that. Tell me how you knew it''s being done".


    Chen Lihua stuttered as she answered, "I.... I wat.....ched a video of it after we made out for the first time".


    Chen Lihua was so embarrassed now after admitting it, and so she covered her face with her palms again.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly when he saw how embarrassed his woman was. Then he had a sudden thought in his head.


    ''If she watched the video after our first make-out, then it does mean that she liked it and wanted to know more, or she wasn''t satisfied and then decided to.....''.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t let his thought run wide, but he still had to ask as he was too curious.


    So he asked her softly, "No offence, but I just want to know, did you touch yourself".


    "jeez! No I didn''t. I only watched it halfway, because I couldn''t take it. How could I touch myself?". Chen Lihua answered as she let go off her face.


    "That''s good". Liu Longwei breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Don''t watch it again. If you feel uncomfortable any time, come to me so I can satisfy you". Liu Longwei said as he caressed her face again, with a deep look.


    Chen Lihua leaned away from his touch, and explained thinking that the man has misunderstood her, "I didn''t watch porn, i watched a short clip from a movie, so I didn''t really see anything i wasn''t supposed to see.


    Liu Longwei sighed, "Lihua we are married, and so you don''t have to feel shy or embarrassed when talking about sex. We should talk about it since it''s something that will soon happen between us".


    Seeing that she was still embarrassed, Liu Longwei locked the car doors before removing his suit jacket. And Chen Lihua''s eyeballs were threatening to fall off of her eye sockets when she heard the door lock.


    So she started at Liu Longwei who already had his suit jacket removed.


    As she watched him remove his cufflinks, she couldn''t help but ask, "What are you doing?".


    As he removed his tie and unbuttoned the first three buttons of his black shirt, he answered, "Trying to make you feel good".


    Chen Lihua looked around the car and asked, "Here?".


    "Yes. Don''t worry, the car in tincted and no one will disturb us without me calling for them".


    Liu Longwei explained.


    Seeing that she still had something to say, Liu Longwei shut her up with a kiss. Then he made her sit on his laps and gave her a hot kiss that turned her head into a commotion in no distant time..

 Chapter 146 - Obeyed her husband despite being embarrassed.

    Chen Lihua looked around the car and asked, "Here?".


    "Yes. Don''t worry, the car in tincted and no one will disturb us without me calling for them".


    Liu Longwei explained.


    Seeing that she still had something to say, Liu Longwei shut her up with a kiss. Then he made her sit on his laps and gave her a hot kiss that turned her head into a commotion in no distant time.


    As the two took a long breath from the kiss, Liu Longwei used that opportunity to unbutton her shirt.


    Chen Lihua was embarrassed because the day was still bright and Liu Longwei could see her body very well, which has never happened before because every time they got intimate, it will be dark already and the lights will be dimmed. So she tried to stop him by holding his hands.


    But since Liu Longwei wanted her to learn how to open up and be free with him, he rejected her.


    Liu Longwei gently removed her hands and pecked her lips before having the buttons of her shirt undone. It was then that Liu Longwei got a better and clearer view of her chest.


    Chen Lihua wore a black sports bra underneath her shirt. But that didn''t stop her cleavage from showing.


    Liu Longwei traced the outline of her sports bra, and then the surface of her b.r.e.a.s.ts as he said with a smile on her face.


    "It seems that you really like sports bras a lot. But I like it as well because it helps me to feel your b.o.o.b.s better".


    And as he said so, he gently squeezed one of her b.r.e.a.s.t and looked at her with that seductive look of his.


    Chen Lihua was not as thick skinned as him, and so she blushed hard especially because of his words and actions.


    Her blush made Liu Longwei to smile more, and so he kissed her again as he squeezed her b.o.o.b.s again.


    After the kiss, he asked her if he squeezed her b.o.o.b.s the right way and if she was comfortable with it.


    Honestly, Chen Lihua was satisfied with the way he touched her, and so became turned on, but she wouldn''t tell her that, unless she didn''t want to go home on time. So give an answer to his question, she nodded her head in a positive manner.


    Liu Longwei then smiled and grabbed her hands towards his chest as he gave a command. "Unbutton my shirt".


    Chen Lihua looked at that wicked smile on his face because she knew he would never let her go until she did as he said. So she built her courage and braced herself up and started unbuttoning his shirt. But her actions were slow.


    Liu Longwei just watched with a smirk on his face.


    With his eyes staring at her body, he felt the need to encourage her as she continued with what she was doing. So he put his hand between her shirt and her back and began to caress her.


    That sudden cold hand touching her back without warning made Chen Lihua hiss and pause inbetween.


    Her actions didn''t make Liu Longwei to let go off her, instead he continued and gave her a Peck on her rossy cheeks saying, "Continue".


    Chen Lihua snorted and continued with her unbuttoning his shirt.


    Finally done with it, she removed her hands from his body, but Liu Longwei stopped her, "Where are you taking those wonderful hands to. You have to touch me the way I did to you, make me feel good".


    Chen Lihua frowned and still wanted to take her hands back, but in order not to waste time, Liu Longwei directly placed her hand on his exposed body and caressed his body with it before letting go off her hand to do it.


    Chen Lihua felt turned on as she caressed his chest. She could barely hold herself in. She didn''t want Liu Longwei to know because she didn''t want him to know.


    Liu Longwei noticed that Chen Lihua avoided his n.i.p.p.l.es as she caressed his chest. So he smiled and grabbed her hand, directing it on his n.i.p.p.l.es. Then he said, "You have to put in more effort to please me".


    Even though Chen Lihua was embarrassed, she still obeyed her husband.


    Now, Liu Longwei stopped her moving hands and kissed her deeply.


    After a while, he released her lips and asked, "I''ve noticed that you never kiss me back, why?".


    Chen Lihua blushed and answered softly, "I don''t know how to kiss back when you''re already kissing me".


    "Oh!". Liu Longwei said, obviously amused by her answer. So he decide to teach right there.


    "Lihua when the priest will be officiating our wedding, he will ask me to kiss you, but you still have to kiss me back to show your agreement even if it doesn''t matter. So you gave to learn".


    "Ok Chen Lihua mumbled softly".


    Then Liu Longwei thought her how to kiss back. He only left her when she made an improve.


    But then, he noticed that she was behaving weirdly. So he had to think for a while to know the reason before he actually smiled to himself in understanding.


    So he looked at plumped cheeks, caressed them and asked with his pair of seductive eyes fixed on her, "Are you aroused".


    This question made Chen Lihua to blush profusely. She was beyond embarrassed and so she didn''t give him answer. The only part of her body that moved was her eyelashes that fluttered like a butterfly.


    Liu Longwei hugged her and said gently to her, "if you''re aroused, then you have to tell me because I am your husband, and so should help you. Are you uncomfortable?".


    Chen Lihua felt touched by his words, and so she answered his question with her head lowered, "It feels painful down there".


    "It means that you''re pleasured. But since you didn''t relieve it, it became painful. It happens to me as well, so you don''t need to be embarrassed as well". Liu Longwei explained.


    As Liu Longwei tried to unzip her trousers, Chen Lihua grabbed his hand immediately and asked with a frightened expression, "What are you doing?".


    "I want to relieve your pleasure". Liu Longwei said, looking at her.


    Chen Lihua rejected him immediately, "No no. I don''t want you to touch me there. So maybe we can end this and go home".

 Chapter 147 - Expensive wedding invitations.

    As Liu Longwei tried to unzip her trousers, Chen Lihua grabbed his hand immediately and asked with a frightened expression, "What are you doing?".


    "I want to relieve your pleasure". Liu Longwei said, looking at her.


    Chen Lihua rejected him immediately, "No no. I don''t want you to touch me there. So maybe we can end this and go home".


    "Ok". Liu Longwei said in agreement, but somehow now staring at her chest.


    "Could you not make it obvious that you''re staring at my b.o.o.b.s by doing so, so intensly". Chen Lihua rolled her eyes.


    Taking his gaze off her chest, Liu Longwei looked at her, saying, "If i don''t stare at it, who will?.Besides, I like what am seeing. I didn''t even get to kiss it, so do not complain".


    Chen Lihua almost choked. Then she thought, ''What a shameless man'' before wrapping her shirt around her body and trying to get off his laps before any danger can occur.


    But Liu Longwei held her down, removing her hands, he started to button up her shirt while saying, "Relax, I won''t eat you".


    Silence filled the car like the calm or still sea.


    When Liu Longwei finished, he buttoned up his shirt as well. And Chen Lihua took that opportunity to sit back on her side.


    Then she said something unexpected to Liu Longwei, "I like your body as well".


    Chen Lihua said as she reminisced of the feelings she got when she caressed his rock hard chest and abs. She felt as if she was in heaven.


    Although she didn''t want the feelings to go away, but she had to stop because she assured herself that ''this man was hers now, and she could touch and enjoy him any time she wanted. But for now, she really needed to have a little patience''.


    Liu Longwei leaned in close to the woman who just confessed and was looking at him.


    Then he narrowed his eyes with a smirk on his lips before saying, "why are you admitting it now. You should have said so when you were caressing it".


    "So you wouldn''t let me go?". Chen Lihua said immediately while having eye contacts with him.


    "How do you know that?". Liu Longwei asked in surprise, and also in admittance to her question.


    "Of course I know you very well. If I admit that I like something, then you will make me have it till I become tired of it". Chen Lihua said seriously.


    "Oh! You really do know your husband". Liu Longwei exclaimed. He pecked those moving lips before leaning away.


    Then, he whined down the backdoor window and called the driver and bodyguards back.


    Liu Longwei stretched his legs and said softly, "you are too slim to be heavy. How do you do that?".


    Chen Lihua locked eyes with him. Smiling, she said, "I know am heavy. Am tall, so my bones are heavy. By the way, you deserve the pain you''re feeling right now because, I didn''t ask you to carry me for a long time, but because you were deeply immersed in romance, you lost your other senses of feeling".


    Liu Longwei was speechless at her words, but then he laughed out loud without saying a thing.


    Just then, the driver came into the car and was met with his master''s laughter. He would have been uneasy if not that Chen Lihua was there as well because, he found that laughter weird since he had hardly seen his master laugh so happily.


    Chen Lihua watched Liu Longwei laugh for a while and wondered what funny thing she said to make him laugh for a while.


    When Liu Longwei stopped laughing and was now smiling, he commanded the driver to drive off.


    When the driver ingnited the car and started driving out slowly, four cars were ignited as well and drove out to surround Liu Longwei''s car. Two at the back, and two in front, thus forming a formation.


    As days went by, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei finalized the wedding guest list and sent out the wedding invitations, both physical and mail invitations. Liu Longwei arranged transportation and booked hotel rooms for out-of-town guests.


    Chen Lihua chose and ordered the wedding souvenirs for both weddings, while Liu Longwei paid for them.


    As Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua agreed that their chinese traditional wedding invitations were strictly for their family and relatives, they sent out their white wedding invitations in a beautifully decorated Agarwood box, accompanied with a bottle of expensive wine and an expensive box of sweet chocolate.


    Three days to the meeting of Liu and Chen families, Chen Lihua went to try out her traditional Chinese wedding gown with her mother, mother-in-law and old madam Liu.


    As Chen Lihua didn''t have an idea of what to choose for her wedding gown, Lady Chen helped her to take a pick. So they were now going to see the gown and for Chen Lihua to try it out.


    At the Chinese no 1 mall for Chinese traditional gowns, Chen Lihua arrived with her mother ''Chen Ju Ju''. Next, Madam Liu Bilu arrived with the old madam Liu.


    Having helped the old lady to get off the car, madam Bilu then let the old lady walk by herself.


    Inside the VIP section of the mall, Lady Chen and Chen Lihua were enjoying hot cup of teas and some pastries when Madam Liu walked in with the old Lady.


    Chen Lihua and Lady Chen were surprised to see the old lady because they weren''t expecting her. So they both dropped their pastries anf stood up with smiles on their faces.


    Then Chen Lihua called out gently, "Grandma".


    Madam Liu and the old lady smiled. And so the old lady replied to Chen Lihua, "This child, if I didn''t know about your schedule for today, then you wouldn''t have invited me to come and take a look at your wedding gown. And am sure you''ve forgotten about me".


    Chen Lihua answered immediately with a smile, "Grandma is not like that. I already planned on coming to visit you today and to discuss some things with you".


    "Oh! Then I will be expecting you". The old lady said with a satisfied smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua nodded and then greeted her mother-in-law with a hug and a smile.


    Then the old lady faced Lady Chen, "Ju Ju it''s been a long time since I last set my eyes on you. You don''t visit anymore".


    Lady Chen giggled before speaking up, "Heh! Old lady, I should be the one saying that. You traveled without telling me. I only found out about that after I visited without seeing you".

 Chapter 148 - Dress fittings.

    Then the old lady faced Lady Chen, "Ju Ju it''s been a long time since I last set my eyes on you. You don''t visit anymore".


    Lady Chen giggled before speaking up, "Heh! Old lady, I should be the one saying that. You travelled without telling me. I only found out about that after I visited without seeing you".


    The four women sat down to continue with their talk.


    "Then I am at fault". The old lady said in admittance.


    The four women laughed joyfully.


    Just then, someone knocked on the door before opening it. The person was a lady, who just came in to drop refreshments. So after placing the tea and pastries in front of the old lady and madam Liu.


    Not long after that, another lady came in with two young guys pulling something. Actually, they were pulling a mannequin placed on a kind of trolley.


    And on that mannequin stood an eye-catching dress. A dress that would make people marvel just at first glance.


    So the four ladies had their focus on the beautiful gown till it was placed in the middle of the room.


    At the snap of the fingers of the female attendant, the young guys left, and two other ladies came in.


    The stunning gown just stood in the middle of the room with admirers looking at it in awe.


    The long red qipao vestido oriental styled dress with Mandarin neck was really beautiful. A Dragon and Phoenix embroidery was done with twenty four carats of Gold. The dress was really stunning.


    So the old lady stood up and ran her hands through the dress with a pretty smile on her face. You could tell that she was satisfied with the dress.


    "Ju Ju you have an excellent taste. The dress is luxurious. With just a glance, I can tell that our beautiful Lihua will look even more beautiful in it".


    Then she said to Lihua, "Lihua dear, come and try the dress immediately, I can''t wait to see how you will look in it".


    Chen Lihua was still looking at the dress and was like, ''It''s this dress for me?''


    The question was not in the sense that she found the dress beautiful, but because she felt some kind of emotions going through her heart.


    She couldn''t believe that she was now looking at Chinese traditional wedding gown, and that makes her to be aware that her wedding was already around the corner.


    Well, she really liked the dress, even though she didn''t know if it would fit or look good on her because she has never tried that kind of dress on before.


    So on the Old Lady''s urging, she stood up and so she was taken to another fitting room inside the room and helped to change by the three ladies that worked there.


    When they ladies wanted to help her remove her clothes, Chen Lihua became a little embarrassed as she felt uncomfortable stripping before people she didn''t know. But she let them do their work.


    So in no time, they helped her wear the qipao and her shoe.


    The gown was well fitted on her.


    Another reason she liked the gown was because it could pass as a white wedding gown if not the colours and the Chinese style. Because the gown was flowing freely on the floor.


    So, they let Chen Lihua see herself in a standing mirror, and she smiled as she looked at herself and touched her dress.


    Before she could even finish admiring herself, she already heard voices from outside that was urging her to come out.


    So the attending ladies helped her out of the fitting room.


    When the three women saw her, they circled around her and praised her, saying she looked beautiful.


    Madam Liu praised Lady Chen for high and unique taste and the money she spent on the dress.


    And Lady Chen smiled happily as she replied, "Twenty four carats of Gold is nothing. I only have one child. So if I don''t spend my money on her, who will I spend it on? Marriage is like a once in a lifetime affair that occurs in one''s life. And as brides, you would wish for your wedding to be perfect. So I want my daughter to look beautiful, stunning and breath-taking on her day".


    Everyone in that room was really touched by Lady Chen''s word, they were all emotional, including Chen Lihua who was already on the verge of crying.


    So Lady Chen smiled and wiped her tears with her hands and threatened her, "Silly child, when did you turn to a cry baby? You''d better stop crying otherwise, I will call your husband to complain, and also send him pictures as prove for my complaints".


    Chen Lihua became unemotional the moment she heard those threats. It''s not like she has enough face to lose, so she''d better treasure the little one she has.


    So she stopped crying immediately and even wiped her tears as if nothing happened earlier.


    Everyone in the room smiled including the attendants who could barely hold their laughter in.


    The old Lady was about berating Lady Chen for threatening Chen Lihua. But when she saw that the empty threat was of no harm, and that it actually worked on Chen Lihua, she let the matter go. So she praised Chen Lihua again before sitting on the sofa.


    Another gown was brought for Chen Lihua to try on. It was a gown described by Lady Chen as the first reception gown.


    It was a white off-shoulder flowery lace wedding formal dress with long sleeves and a train.


    The beautiful gown was made with the highest grade of chiffon material. The gown was indeed another luxurious one.


    So Chen Lihua was taken into the fitting room once again and helped to change out of the first cloth into the second dress.


    When Chen Lihua came out of the fitting room, her hands were covering her chest, so Lady Chen asked her to remove her hands.


    "The dress is beautiful, so what are you covering up?"


    "The chest area is a little tight". The first attendant replied on her behalf.


    "Lihua take your hands off your chest, so I can see where the problem is". Lady Chen said.

 Chapter 149 - Forced to run a few laps.

    "The dress is beautiful, so what are you covering up?"


    "The chest area is a little tight". The first attendant replied on her behalf.


    "Lihua take your hands off your chest, so I can see where the problem is". Lady Chen said.


    Chen Lihua was really embarrassed. But she took solace in herself because they were all female, so she moved her hands away even though she felt like the whole world was seeing her body.


    As her hands made way, her chest came in full view. Actually, the chest area was really tight because if you look at it, you could see that her b.r.e.a.s.ts were threatening to spill, and that area was a little forced.


    So Lady Chen thought for a while before stretching her hand to pull the material at her chest area, but Chen Lihua caught her hand with the speed of lightening, "Mom what do you think you''re doing?"


    Lady Chen exchanged glances with madam Liu and then the old Lady before she turned to Chen Lihua, "Why are you in a hurry? I only wanted to touch the material and not your b.r.e.a.s.t. Don''t tell me you don''t allow your husband touch you?"


    Chen Lihua was so embarrassed that she covered her face with her hands, "Jeez! Mom, can you not start now and here please?"


    Imaging how all eyes were now on her, including her mother-in-law and grand mother-in-law. Chen Lihua didn''t know what to do with her mother again.


    ''Can this woman not choose a better location and time to embarrass me?''


    Lady Chen remained adamant. "What are you calling me for? This is an important question, so you have to answer me or you won''t go anywhere".


    Chen Lihua groaned, removing her hands from her face, she stared straight into her mother''s eyes and said immediately, because the earlier she answered, the less embarrassed she would feel.


    "Mom he is my husband, do you think I will deny him of his rights?"


    "Then why are you behaving like you''ve never been touched before?" Lady Chen asked.


    Chen Lihua was really getting annoyed now.


    ''Does this woman want to drink my blood before she could rest?''


    With a somewhat annoyed face, she said, "Mom please stop, that''s my personal matters. Just do something about the chest of this gown, it''s tight and too revealing. I thought you already had my measurements. I can''t be showing the world my b.r.e.a.s.t right?"


    "I should be asking you that. This dress was sewn with your measurements. So the problem lies with you, which means your burst increased in size". Lady Chen said with a penetrating gaze.


    "Mom don''t look at me like that, I just added a little flesh, and besides, it is Longwei''s fault". Then Chen Lihua said immediately.


    Madam Liu and the old lady exchanged glances with a happy smiles on their faces before they looked at Lady Chen.


    When Chen Lihua saw that they had misunderstood her, she explained hurriedly, "Longwei forced me to take dairy products, and so that''s the cause".


    Then the three women nodded in understanding.


    Just then, Madam Liu called back the people attending to Chen Lihua because the old Lady sent them away with a sign when Chen Lihua covered her face in embarrassment earlier.


    This shows how thoughtful the old Lady was. Even though she couldn''t save her grand daughter-in-law from being questioned by her own mother, she could at least save her some face from being embarrassed by outsiders listening to their conversation.


    So they brought two more beautiful gowns for Chen Lihua to try on, and they were all beautiful on her.


    Now, the only adjustment to be made was on the first reception gown. So a female attendant took Chen Lihua''s burst measurement.


    When they were about to leave, Chen Lihua asked about the designers who designed her wedding gown and reception gowns as she wanted to show her gratitude, but she was told they were not in the country at the moment, but would be around for the final dress fitting.


    So the four women left the place happily.


    Lady Chen really loved her daughter very much as she was willing to spend millions and so much effort on the gowns.


    Chen Lihua left for the hospital after sending her mother and her in-laws off. During her break in the hospital, she informed Liu Longwei of her meeting with his grandmother at the Liu residence, so he said he would go to pick her up after the meeting.


    After work, Chen Lihua drove to the Liu residence with a fruit basket. When she got there, she met her mother-in-law and the old lady at home.


    So she discussed a lot of things with the old lady about her upcoming traditional Chinese wedding. They talked about how the ceremony was done, the kind of food and drinks, and also gifts that should be given, and a bit more before Liu Longwei came to pick her up.


    Back to their residence, they had their dinner together before going to their respective rooms to sleep.


    The next morning, Liu Longwei dragged Chen Lihua to the gym room as it''s been long since he saw her there.


    As they were exercising, Chen Lihua got tired and decided to distract Liu Longwei, in order to use that little opportunity to rest.


    So she stood up erect and made Liu Longwei to stop whatever he was doing and look at her.


    "Longwei take a good look at me, did I add a little flesh?"


    It took a while for Liu Longwei to be in that mood as the mood changed so fast for him, as he had nothing but workout in his mind that moment.


    So his eyes darted through her body for a while before stopping on her chest. Then he smiled meaningfully before looking in her eyes and saying, "Yeah. Your b.r.e.a.s.ts were the only part that seemed to have increased in size to me".


    That smile made Chen Lihua feel that she was in danger.

 Chapter 150 - He lifted her up for the first time.

    So his eyes darted through her body for a while before stopping on her chest. Then he smiled meaningfully before looking in her eyes and saying, "Yeah. Your b.r.e.a.s.ts were the only part that seemed to have increased in size to me". That smile made Chen Lihua feel that she was in danger. But that was her wishful thinking because Liu Longwei stopped smiling the next moment. "Don''t even try to change the topic because you still have to work-out after your tricks". Chen Lihua felt that something was definitely wrong with Liu Longwei because he didn''t even submerge himself to her trick as usual. Now, she felt that Liu Longwei was different. There was time to joke, and a time to be serious. She never knew that he could abandon playing with her now for just workout. ''This man, you don''t even know how to utilize the opportunity given to you''. Chen Lihua thought. Chen Lihua are you sure the opportunity is not for you to slack off for a moment? Liu Longwei demonstrated plank position for her, and did it for a minute before instructing her to do so. Chen Lihua kept grumbling that she couldn''t do it. But when she stayed in the plank position, she didn''t even last for five seconds before lying flat on the mat. Liu Longwei was speechless and had to ask, "How do you manage to perform up to a five hours surgery at the hospital?" Then he thought for a second before adding, "If you continue this way, you won''t have the stamina to last in bed, and that I won''t tolerate". Chen Lihua stared at him with widened eyeballs as she wondered how her lack of stamina in exercising will affect her surgery performance and her s.e.x life. "This has got nothing to do with my surgery performance. And how do you know I won''t last in bed? You sound like an expert with a lot of experience". Chen Lihua said looking at him speechlessly. Then Liu Longwei said immediately, "It doesn''t matter if I''ve had any experience or not as it is a thing of the past. What matters now is you must be very active in our bedroom activities. And for that to happen, you need stamina for it, so I won''t allow you to slack off even for a bit, because our happiness depends on you". The next moment, Chen Lihua saw herself at the back passenger seat of a jeep with Liu Longwei, and two bodyguards in front. One was driving and the other sitting with a walkie-talkie in his hand. The two had an intercom headset in their ears. The jeep Chen Lihua was currently looking at now, is the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 which is made with all the capabilities needed by the person. The overall look of this vehicle is like a superhero type of Jeep which is very luxurious and made with a sporty look, which am very sure Chen Lihua didn''t have the time to see before she was forced into the Jeep. Looking at the interior of the car, Chen Lihua couldn''t hold herself anymore and so she asked, "How many cars do you actually have?" Liu Longwei gave a vague answer, "Not many". "Can you buy another car for me?" Chen Lihua asked. Liu Longwei looked at her and said, "I will buy another one on your birthday". "What?! That''s too far". Chen Lihua said with a frown. "I know. So just use this opportunity to rest because you will be running a lot of laps in no time". Liu Longwei said as he helped her fasten her seatbelt. Being suddenly reminded of the race she was about venturing into, Chen Lihua kept quiet and started thinking about how miserable her life would be in a few minutes. So she heaved a sigh as the car passed some streets. Having gotten to their destination, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came down from the car. So Liu Longwei instructed, "We will do a 30 minutes race. We will run from here to the house, and that will take approximately 30 minutes. So am giving you a minute to gather all the strength and courage you can get for this race because there will be no stopping to catch your breath till we get to our destination. So we will be running at a marathon pace or you can call it jogging pace". When Liu Longwei felt that a minute was over, he dragged the helpless Chen Lihua and started to jog as their car followed behind them, but with a distance between them. With Liu Longwei''s constant nagging and unyielding attitude, she ran for 20 minutes, till she almost stopped breathing. She fell on the floor and laid flat on it. So Liu Longwei was forced to stop. He knelt down beside her and helped her into a sitting position as she tried to catch her breath. Chen Lihua was really breathing fast now. Liu Longwei chided her gently, "You only ran for twenty minutes, yet you''re already on the verge of fainting". Just then, one of the bodyguards ran to him and handed him a bottle of water, of which he unscrewed its cap and passed the water to Chen Lihua. On seeing that Chen Lihua''s hands were shaking, he personally fed her the water. Chen Lihua almost finished the bottle of water. After she had drunk enough, Liu Longwei gave the almost empty bottle to the bodyguard and asked him to go back to the car.  Chen Lihua quietly stayed in his embrace to regain her strength. And when she got a little strength back, she pushed him away and stormed off angrily on her own. Actually, she was walking away slowly. With his hands on his waist, Liu Longwei smiled before chasing after her. "Do you need help?" Liu Longwei asked but got no reply. So he lifted her from the ground. Chen Lihua was taken unawares, so she stayed in his embrace for five seconds before struggling to come down, but Liu Longwei didn''t let her come down. So he apologized softly in her ears when he saw that she was angry and throwing a tantrum, "Am sorry for bullying you, it won''t happen again".

 Chapter 151 - A funny scene.

    Chen Lihua was taken unawares, so she stayed in his embrace for five seconds before struggling to come down, but Liu Longwei didn''t let her come down.


    So he apologized softly in her ears when he saw that she was angry and throwing a tantrum, "Am sorry for bullying you, it won''t happen again".


    She heard the apology and so she stopped moving. But she complained, "You are sweaty, so am I, and it''s making me uncomfortable. So let me down".


    Liu Longwei didn''t bulge. With her in his embrace, he continued walking forward.


    "You''re tired and weak, so just endure it".


    Chen Lihua looked around her surrounding and said, "Drop me quickly, we are already the center of attention, look, everyone is looking at us".


    Liu Longwei didn''t even bother to look around, but he dropped her and said, "Let''s get into the car then".


    "No. The sweat is already gumming to my body and it''s making me so uncomfortable. So the car''s AC will make it worse". Chen Lihua grumbled.


    Liu Longwei dragged her and started walking backwards, "Don''t worry, the AC won''t be turned on. The car windows will be opened to let the natural air come in. Then once we get home, you can have a long shower".


    Just then, the car stopped and one of the bodyguard''s came down to open the car door for them, and Liu Longwei stuffed Chen Lihua inside immediately without giving her the opportunity to complain more.


    In less than three minutes, they got home. And Chen Lihua came down from the car and dashed into the house immediately, leaving her husband to find his way in.


    Chen Lihua had a long shower. By the time she came out from the bathroom she kept screaming ''Shit! Shit!'' Because she saw the time and knew she was late for work. So she dressed up in a rush and ran downstairs.


    Liu Longwei was sitting at the breakfast table drinking a cup of coffee, while at the same time waiting for Chen Lihua to come downstairs so they would have breakfast together, only for him to see a woman flying down the stairs while shouting ''''Am late! Shit Am late'''' till she left the house.


    Liu Longwei had coffee in his mouth when he saw Chen Lihua like that. So he had a hard time swallowing the coffee.


    With the speed Chen Lihua flew down the stairs, he was totally shocked because that was the same woman who nearly fainted while jogging that same morning, and now she was seen flying down the stairs at an incredible speed just because she was late for work.


    He was indeed surprised. Liu Longwei looked at his casual wear, and suddenly remembering something, he quickly went after Chen Lihua.


    When he caught up to Chen Lihua, she was already in her car and about to drive off. So he signalled the bodyguards to stop her.


    Chen Lihua was quite pissed off already, being suddenly stopped when she was in a hurry to leave, but she wound down her car window looking angry as she stared at the bodyguard.


    The bodyguard was really nervous deep down his heart, but remained composed as he told Chen Lihua that Liu Longwei wanted to see her.


    So Chen Lihua opened her car door and came out and saw Liu Longwei walking towards her at a normal pace. So she frowned, "Longwei am already late for work. What do you want to say to me?"


    With his hands in his pocket, Liu Longwei walked to her steadily, "You don''t need to go to work today. I took a leave of absence on your behalf. Follow me to some place, it''s very important".


    "What?" Chen Lihua that was breathing fast asked in astonishment. It was as if Liu Longwei was playing pranks in her. So Liu Longwei repeated the sentence again.


    Chen Lihua stared at him in shock because just a minute ago, she behaved like a mad woman because she was in a hurry to go to work that she didn''t need to go to for the day.


    While she was staring at him, she took her situation into consideration to know if she deserved what just happened.


    When she was done staring at him, she was a bit embarrassed. So she took her handbag and lab coat from the car.


    She closed the car door with one hand. Then she walked to Liu Longwei, pushed her handbag and lab coat onto his chest before walking inside the house immediately without saying anything.


    Liu Longwei took his hands out of his pockets to hold her things. Then he smiled as he watched her walk off while swaying her h.i.p.s, before following behind her.


    Chen Lihua was already feasting at the dining table when he came in. So he handed her properties to a maid to send to her room, before joining her at the breakfast table.


    Then he started apologising, "Am sorry for not notifying you on time".


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding.


    While they were having their breakfast, Liu Longwei noticed that she didn''t touch any of the soya and dairy products laid in front of her. So he asked her about it and she said without looking at him.


    "My chest has increased in size and because of that, my traditional wedding reception dress has to be altered. So if it keeps increasing again till the wedding day, it will be troublesome".


    "Oh!" Liu Longwei said in understanding and no longer disturbed her.


    Throughout that day, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua stayed at home.


    But the difference between those two was that Chen Lihua was busy sketching some ill.u.s.trations on her sketch book.


    But as for Liu Longwei, he was very busy with phone calls and so he kept on giving out instructions each time the calls came.


    He seemed to be planning something.


    There was a time he left the house and came back three hours later.


    When the time was close to 5pm, some people came to the house for Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 152 - Drunk in Love.

    But as for Liu Longwei, he was very busy with phone calls and so he kept giving out instructions each time the calls came.


    He seemed to be planning something.


    There was a time he left the house and came back in three hours later.


    When the time was close to 5pm, some people came to the house for Chen Lihua.


    And Chen Lihua had her ears clogged then, and so didn''t hear the knocks that landed on her door.


    The servant was scared of disturbing her in case she was in the middle of something important as she didn''t have the capability to be responsible. So she reported this to Liu Longwei, and so he had to personally dial Chen Lihua''s phone number in order to get to her.


    It was then that Chen Lihua removed the earphones that restricted her from hearing other sounds.


    She opened her room door to see a servant and two familiar people. They were the hair stylist and make-up artist that styled her previously.


    The servant said politely, "Sorry to disturb you Ma''am. Master sent them to you".


    Chen Lihua nodded and told them to wait for ten minutes as she needed to have her bath. So ten minutes later, Chen Lihua unlocked the door, leaving it open for them to come in, as they all breathed in her s.e.xy vanilla scent and went back to into her room.


    The reason Chen Lihua didn''t let them in the first time she opened the door was because she felt uncomfortable taking her bath with people in her room, hearing the sound of shower.


    As she sat comfortably on a high stool which faced a mirror, ready to be styled, she asked the servant, "Where''s Longwei?"


    "Master is getting dressed as well. Ma''am hold on, your dress will be here in a minute". The servant said respectfully.


    Chen Lihua was surprised because Liu Longwei didn''t tell her he was getting her a dress for the occasion she didn''t have an idea about.


    She even had to look through her closet to make sure she had something appropriate to wear. So she asked the servant, "Did he say where he''s taking me?"


    The female servant answered immediately, "No Ma''am. Master never tells us about his plans. He only gives us instructions".


    Chen Lihua didn''t ask any more questions. So she sat down and allowed the two stylist to do their work, with their assistants helping out as well.


    Chen Lihua''s hair was first worked on. The hair stylist freed her long shiny black silky hair from the updo it was in before working on it. She packed her hair in a middle pony tail, before braiding the pony tail, then she used a styling gel on her hair, apart from the centre (braided pony tail).


    As the hair stylist was braiding her hair, the makeup artist started with his work.


    He applied a light purple eye-shadow, contour, powder and some other things on her face.


    He even wanted to fix a face eyelash on her, but he didn''t need to anymore because Chen Lihua already had a long natural eyelashes. So he just applied a nude coloured nail polish on her finger and toe nails since Chen Lihua didn''t want to fix artificial nails.


    By the time he was done with the makeup, Chen Lihua''s face was not recognizable, she was looking so stunning with that blood red lips of hers.


    The makeup artist didn''t let Chen Lihua see her face in the middle, as he said it was a surprise, and Chen Lihua accepted it.


    The hair stylist then inserted a deep purple rose hair accessory on her hair to complete her image.


    Not long, there was a knock on the door and the servant that was assisting in the room opened the door to reveal a young plump woman with a dress and another female servant carrying a bag behind her.


    As the plump woman came in, she stared in awe at Chen Lihua''s beauty before apologising, "Good evening Mrs Liu, am sorry for being late".


    "That''s fine". Chen Lihua replied and gestured to her come in and do her job.


    Every unnecessary persons in the room left to give space.


    The plump woman laid the black cloth bag on the sofa and unzipped it, revealing a hot rose patterned purple dress.


    Chen Lihua didn''t react until the plump woman held the dress.


    It''s be ages since Chen Lihua wore that type of dress, and that was on runway modelling.


    So she couldn''t help but ask, "Who bought this dress?"


    The woman smiled, "Mr Liu bought it from Paris. My job was just to make it fit your figure".


    Chen Lihua then opened her mouth to say something else, but the woman cut her short with a smile, "Mrs Liu, the time for the event is around the corner. So let''s quickly get you all dressed".


    Chen Lihua sighed and gave in, but she wondered if Liu Longwei really wanted her to wear that dress, and to which event?


    The hotness of the dress was in the V-back, the sleeveless hand and the style at the chest that revealed her beautiful collar bones and showed a little cleavage, and the length of the gown.


    When Chen Lihua looked at the dress very well, she already knew that she didn''t need to wear a bra underneath the dress. And she didn''t want anyone to see her b.r.e.a.s.t, so she took the dress and went into her walk-in closet to change.


    Since the dress had a zip, Chen Lihua wore it from her legs so it wouldn''t spoil her makeup.


    But when it was time to zip up, she asked for help.


    Walking out from the closet in the dress, everyone was just staring at her in awe.


    At the moment, they wanted time to stop, so they could have a good look at her.


    The gown was a little short on Chen Lihua because when she sat down, her long s.e.xy laps were revealed.


    The plump woman stylist rained praises on Chen Lihua, before helping her to put on a pair of silver dangling earnings.


    But as she was about to help put on the chain necklace on her, Liu Longwei came into room, took the chain necklace from her and dismissed them all.


    Totally captivated by her look, his s.e.xy eyes narrowed, which now made him look like he was drunk in love.


    Chen Lihua met his eyes and became embarrassed, so she looked away.


    Liu Longwei walked close to her, held her by her shoulders and helped her up.

 Chapter 153 - He proposed to her.

    Totally captivated by her look, his s.e.xy eyes narrowed, which now made him look like he was drunk in love.


    Chen Lihua met his eyes and became embarrassed, so she looked away.


    Liu Longwei walked close to her, held her by her shoulders and helped her up.


    Then he pecked her lips and said, "You''re beautiful".


    "Thank you. But do you really want me to dress like this? I feel it''s too revealing". Chen Lihua said as she touched her dress.


    Liu Longwei moved her long braided hair out of the way to completely reveal her beautifully exposed back.


    "Just have in mind that you''re dressing for me and no one else". Liu Longwei said and caressed her back.


    Chen Lihua flinched a little, but remained in place.


    Liu Longwei kissed her beautiful slender neck and Chen Lihua closed her eyes to enjoy that moment.


    Liu Longwei smiled, feeling pleased that Chen Lihua was enjoying his kisses, so he whispered in her ears, "Do you like it".


    "Mmhmm". Chen Lihua hummed.


    Then Liu Longwei used that opportunity to brush his lips on her neck. He kissed her back and put the silver necklace around her neck and locked it for her.


    Chen Lihua still had her eyes closed when she felt something cold drop between her b.r.e.a.s.ts. And so she opened her eyes to look at it.


    Liu Longwei then turned her around to face him now. Then he traced the necklace to the centre of her b.r.e.a.s.t before leaning in to kiss her there.


    Chen Lihua felt that she was in heaven right then because her eyes were dazed and so she didn''t know when she grabbed Liu Longwei''s hair.


    Liu Longwei didn''t mind that Chen Lihua disarranged his hair. So he continued to kiss her. He kissed her cleavage and then moved to her neck.


    Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned softly before pleading, "Longwei please stop, am getting turned on and we are going to be late for the occasion".


    Liu Longwei gave the last kiss on her cheek and smiled as he looked at her face.


    Now, he suddenly felt that she was his happiness by mere looking at her beautiful face.


    Chen Lihua opened her eyes to meet the man''s smiling face. Then she hit him on his shoulder gently and moved to the mirror to see how she looked.


    As she admired her look in the mirror, she sprayed her vanilla scented perfume and felt happy and satisfied inside, and she admitted to herself that she looked stunning.


    But then she said to Liu Longwei as she kept looking at herself in the mirror, "I feel like am going to steal someone''s show with the way I look".


    Liu Longwei smiled without saying anything to her, but then, he thought to himself, ''Not when the show is yours''.


    She then turned around to look at Liu Longwei''s messed up hair and became embarrassed because that was her handiwork.


    So she told him to come over which Liu Longwei did, and so she personally helped to comb his hair.


    When she finished, Liu Longwei passed her silver clutch to her and took her hands in his saying, "Let''s go, we don''t want to be late".


    Chen Lihua smiled and walked out of her room with Liu Longwei in her silver stilettos.


    As they left the room, Chen Lihua remembered something and started talking to Liu Longwei about it without looking at her surroundings.


    But just then, the whole house was enveloped in darkness. And so Chen Lihua''s attention was captured.


    You know when there''s lights out, everywhere is supposed to be in total darkness. But Liu Longwei''s house was somehow illuminated.


    Chen Lihua now thought it was the emergency lights that was turned on, and so she was about asking Liu Longwei what happened to the lights when something caught her attention.


    She saw that what illuminated the house was not the emergency lights but so many lighted candles, and it was beautiful.


    As she looked at the stairs before her, she saw rows of lighted and vanilla scented candles illuminating the stairs for her.


    Now if she were to walk down the stairs, she would have to walk in between the candles on the stairs because they were on each sides of the stairs.


    A smile couldn''t help but appear on her face. Then with that smile, she looked at Liu Longwei in surprise, as if demanding for an explanation.


    Liu Longwei smiled and pecked her forehead before asking, "Do you like it?"


    Chen Lihua smiled in response, "Of course I do. But why do you need to do all these now when we have an outing?"


    That was the part Chen Lihua didn''t understand.


    "You don''t have to worry about that, just feel and enjoy this moment". After all, you are the main lead. Without you, the party won''t hold.


    Liu Longwei said the latter part in his mind.


    Chen Lihua nodded and asked, "But what''s the occasion? it''s not my birthday".


    Liu Longwei carried her in a bridal style and started walking down the stairs. Chen Lihua screamed softly out of shock but still hugged his neck to balance herself.


    Then Liu Longwei chuckled, "You ask too many questions, just wait and see".


    And so he carried her and continued going down the stairs. He only dropped her when he reached the foot of the stairs, and they walked into the living room together.


    Chen Lihua looked around the living room and saw the pictures she has taken so far with Liu Longwei hanging on the wall.


    There were heart-shaped red balloons hanging upwards and on the floor.


    Then some candles formed a heart shape and surrounded with some red rose ???? petals.


    Chen Lihua had a shocked look on her face as she had her hands over her mouth.


    Then her eyes glanced at their pictures again and saw how their facial expressions were.


    Some of the pictures that were hung on the wall were mostly Chen Lihua''s photos, and some of them were taken unawares.


    She then looked at other candles on the floor. Some formed ''I love you Chen Lihua'', ''Am happy to be with you''.


    Then she noticed a couple of white balloons that had some write ups, and so she went closer to see it. The write-ups on some of the balloons were ''You have my heart, you are my happiness''.


    The all of a sudden, Chen Lihua heard a pop sound and walked towards the window to see what it was.


    She moved the curtain a little to see what was going on, only for her to see fireworks.


    This made her smile, but she couldn''t describe what feelings she had inside.


    Just when she thought the fireworks has finished, she had a boom sound and so looked out of the window again, only to see the words the fireworks wrote, "Will you marry me Chen Lihua?"


    "Oh my God!" Chen Lihua explained in surprise and in shock.


    She really didn''t expect Liu Longwei to propose to her since they''ve already gotten their marriage certificate.


    So she now glanced at Liu Longwei with her teary eyes and with her hands over her mouth.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he walked up to her with a little box opened on his palm.

 Chapter 154 - And she said Yes.

    "Oh my God!" Chen Lihua exclaimed in surprise and in shock.


    She really didn''t expect Liu Longwei to propose to her since they''ve already gotten their marriage certificate.


    So she now glanced at Liu Longwei with her teary eyes and with her hands over her mouth.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he walked up to her with a little box opened on his palm.


    Right there, one of the most expensive diamond rings in the world, ''The Graff Pink Diamond ring'' was sitting majestically on Its throne, waiting to be given to it''s the owner.


    This diamond ring cost a whopping amount of $42.2 million. In the list of the most expensive diamond rings in the world, it ranked third. 24.78 carats of diamond were used in this ring of luxury and elegance.


    This diamond ring ???? was personally picked and paid for by Liu Longwei from an auction he attended during his business trip, since he didn''t know Chen Lihua''s taste, and Chen Lihua almost had a fight with him because of it.


    So when his Personal Assistant, Duyi told him about the auction, he delayed his trip back to China because of it.


    Since money was not a problem to Liu Longwei, he didn''t mind spending that amount of money if he could make his wife happy.


    Although Chen Lihua didn''t know the worth of the ring she was staring at right now, she could still tell that it was expensive.


    Chen Lihia became more emotional as she stared at the ring. Then she suddenly hugged Liu Longwei as tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Liu Longwei smiled and patted her back lovingly with one hand, and the ring on the other hand.


    "Are you so touched that you have forgotten to answer me?" Liu Lingwei asked.


    Chen Lihua left his embrace and Liu Longwei brought out a white handkerchief and helped her dab her tears away.


    Then he looked at her lovingly before opening his mouth to say sincerely, "Lihua although we might have gotten our marriage certificate already, and all these may not seem relevant, but you deserve the best. So I want to officially propose to you because I love and care about you more than you think. I promise to Love and take care of you for life even in any circ.u.mstances we find ourselves in the future. I promise not to betray you, the love, the respect and mutual understanding between us. So Chen Lihua, will you marry me?"


    Chen Lihua with her hands over her mouth nearly choked in between sobs as she answered him, "Yes, I will marry you".


    And then she raised her left fingers for him to slide the ring in.


    Liu Longwei took the ring out from the box, carefully held her outstretched fingers before sliding the ring gently into her ring finger.


    And then, he kissed are finger.


    There was another shout of fireworks in the sky. People that looked up at the sky this day felt that the night was indeed beautiful, and love was beautiful as well.


    The fireworks wrote, ''she said yes''. Following after which other fireworks drew many love and flower symbols in the sky. The sky was indeed beautiful.


    At this moment, Chen Lihua leaned on Liu Longwei''s embrace as they admired the fireworks together.


    From his embrace Chen Lihua whispered with a tinge of joy in her voice, "Thank you".


    The reason Chen Lihua felt so touched was because Liu Longwei took her unawares with the surprise engagement.


    Naturally, Chen Lihua is a romantic woman. She had once had dreams and fantasies of having the perfect engagement. But that dream was cut short with her arranged marriage, so she no longer had hopes about it because according to the law, she was a married woman already.


    So she was really emotionally touched with Liu Longwei''s surprise. He actually brought her dreams and fantasies to reality.


    With these thoughts, Chen Lihua hugged Liu Longwei tightly and gratefully.


    Liu Longwei smiled and rubbed her back as he gave her a peck on the forehead.


    "We still have a place to go to, so let''s not delay". Liu Longwei said.


    "Oh". Chen Lihua said as she looked around the living room which still had the beautiful decorations with a slight regret.


    Liu Longwei saw through her emotions and assured her with a smile, "Don''t worry, the decorations will be left this way until tomorrow morning, exclusively for you. You don''t have to worry about the memories, because today''s memories has already been captured and saved".


    Chen Lihua felt so grateful for his care and considerations, and so she gave him a peck on his cheek before walking away with all smiles on her face.


    Liu Longwei walked behind her with a doting smile on his face.


    This time around, they used a bullet-proofed jeep and with their official formation (4 cars escorting them, 2 in front and the other two at the back).


    Chen Lihua didn''t make a comment about the car because she has been very busy staring at her ring finger with an unhidden joy on her face.


    Liu Longwei just focused his gaze on her happy face. As he couldn''t bear with her not paying attention to him, but staring intensely at an object, he decided to pop a champagne in order to draw her attention to him.


    He filled their glasses with the wine before handing a glass to her saying, "Let''s celebrate our new relationship status, cheers".


    Clink (the sound of two wine glasses clashing).


    "Cheers". Chen Lihua said as she clinked glasses with him before taking a sip from it.


    Staring at the ring again, Chen Lihua raised her fingers to examine the ring.


    Then she asked Liu Longwei, "This ring feels heavy. How many carats of diamond is it crafted with?"


    Liu Longwei answered her nonchalantly, "just around twenty four carats".


    "Did you use the word ''just'' on a 24 carat diamond? I can tell you have too much money, and I guess you''re not moved by spending your money. I don''t even dare to ask about the price of this ring, because I have a feeling that I won''t be able to handle the shock and most probably will not dare to wear the ring again. So let me just ignorantly wear the ring and enjoy this moment for now, because I feel the storm is brewing something, and it will not be funny".

 Chapter 155 - An exclusive News for the Reporters.

    "Did you use the word ''just'' on a 24 carat diamond? I can tell you have too much money, and I guess you''re not moved by spending your money. I don''t even dare to ask about the price of this ring, because I have a feeling that I won''t be able to handle the shock and most probably will not dare to wear the ring again. So let me just ignorantly wear the ring and enjoy this moment for now, because I feel the storm is brewing something, and it will not be funny". Chen Lihua said as she took another sip from her glass.


    Liu Longwei just smiled and watched his woman complain about the ring''s price.


    "You don''t need to bother about the price because the ring is now yours. Buying you expensive items is one of the ways I have to express my love for you, since I can''t take you to bed just yet".


    Chen Lihua choked on her drink because she didn''t see that coming. She didn''t even bother looking around because she knew the driver and bodyguard in front heard him.


    That was how she kept quiet and sat composedly till they got to their destination.


    Liu Longwei smiled in satisfaction when he saw how quiet she was.


    He wouldn''t have known how to deal with her complaints if this idea didn''t come to his mind.


    On getting to their Destination, lights from cameras kept flashing at their car. And there seemed to be an uproar amongst the Reporters from different TV agencies and Newspaper companies.


    They would have surrounded their cars if not for the security guards and bodyguards stopping them.


    Chen Lihua looked through the car''s tinted glass to see what the commotion was all about, and it was then that the situation dawned on her, so she asked, "You invited the Reporters?"


    Liu Longwei leaned in towards her with a seductive smile saying, "Yes I did".


    Chen Lihua leaned away from him before saying, "OK, I get it. But can you not give me that look, and also try to stay in your lane, husband"


    Liu Longwei blew a kiss at her before leaning away. But then he said seriously, "Prepare your mind and relax your nerves, we are going out soon".


    "Am not scared of them. Am a model, and so am used to them and this scenery. With the way they are behaving, do you think it''s safe for us to go out, because I feel they would devour us immediately we are out". Chen Lihua asked in concern.


    "I will settle it". Liu Longwei said and brought his phone out immediately. After sending a text, he put it back into his pocket.


    "It''s settled. Do you think your eyes can handle the lights from the camera?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "It will be good as long as I don''t look directly towards the light, and if they don''t focus those lights on me". Chen Lihua said as she finished the last drop of champagne in her glass and grabbed Liu Longwei''s wine and gulped the whole thing down.


    "Am ready". She said. Liu Longwei looked at her with a smile, and she asked, "What?"


    Liu Longwei grabbed her head gently and kissed her lips with love.


    When he released her, he said, "I remembered that I didn''t kiss your lips tonight, so I decided to do that".


    And with that, a bodyguard opened his side of the car and he stepped out.


    Meanwhile, a bodyguard received Liu Longwei''s message, and so spoke to the Reporters.


    "Mr Liu said ''if you all don''t behave professionally, he will not come out, and will also drive you away".


    And that was how all of them stopped shouting and trying to push their way forward.


    Then, they obeyed the instructions given to them by the Bodyguards.


    When they became quiet and started following the protocols, a bodyguard opened the car door for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei first came down before going over to Chen Lihua''s side to help her out.


    The Reporters were invited by Liu Longwei today because he told them he would be showing off his Fianc¨¦e to them.


    So here they were now, trying to see the owner of the outstretched fair slender arm.


    Liu Longwei stretched his arms out, and Chen Lihua grabbed it gently as she came down from the car.


    While all these were going on, they were surrounded by the bodyguards they came out with. So the reporters still had a hard time seeing her full face, because right now, they were only able to get a glimpse of her side profile before the bodyguards blocked their view.


    So they started throwing their questions.


    "Mr Liu, is that your fianc¨¦e?"


    "Can we see her face?"


    "Which family is she from?"


    "Which city is she from?"


    "What is her name?"


    "When did you two meet?"


    "How long have you two being seeing each other?"


    "Was your union love at first sight?"


    As they kept asking questions, they didn''t know that most of their questions would be answered by just seeing Chen Lihua''s face.


    When Chen Lihua came down from the car, she tried to drag her dress down, but it didn''t work, so Liu Longwei whispered in her ears, "The dress is already on your knees, so why are you dragging it?"


    So he grabbed her hand and held it. This was their first time holding hands.


    As they walked forward, the bodyguards made a way for them, but were still surrounding their back and side.


    The bodyguards holding the Reporters left them and stood at the side, in case anything happens.


    And it was now that the skies started raining rainbows because there were gasps of shocks and surprise coming from the Reporters when they saw Chen Lihua''s face.


    Some of them began to whisper amongst themselves.


    "Is that not Lady Chen''s daughter?"


    "I thought she was married already?"


    "Me too".


    "Does this mean Mr Liu is her husband already"


    "Wow! This is an explosive news".

 Chapter 156 - Lady Chen knows how to market her product.

    "Wow! This is an explosive news".


    "Miss Chen Lihua is married to Mr Liu"


    Seeing how they were still whispering amongst themselves, a frown appeared on Liu Longwei''s face.


    On seeing that, one of the bodyguards cleared his throat to get attention from the reporters, and that worked.


    There became a sudden and total silence that if a pin dropped on the floor, the sound would be heard.


    With the silence, Liu Longwei could now talk.


    "Do not ask questions that are not related with the events of today. And we will only answer five questions that I deem important. So go ahead and ask your questions".


    Have you seen anybody that ever told the Reporters what to do and how to do it?


    Liu Longwei really gave out instructions like the tyrant Emperor he was known as. The best part of it was that, he wasn''t smiling with anybody. And that surprised Chen Lihua because it was her first time seeing her husband act that way, different from how he normally behaved around her, and his words carried so much weight.


    ''What! They will only answer five questions?''


    This was exactly like the last straw that broke the Carmel''s back because right now, all the Reporters were fighting to ask their questions.


    "Mr Liu what''s the occasion today as you two are gorgeously dressed?" A male reporter asked.


    "I engaged my beautiful wife today". Liu Longwei answered with a faint smile on his face as he squeezed Chen Lihua''s hand gently.


    The Reporters were shocked. Did they just see a smile on the Tyrant Emperor''s face?


    The Emperor they knew never smiles in front of the camera. His smile was like a gem, hardly seen in public. In fact, they needed a ticket to see his smile.


    A smart Female reporter quickly used this opportunity to ask, "Wow! Congratulations to you Mr Liu and Miss Chen. So Miss Chen, can you tell us how you two met?"


    "Our mother''s introduced us". Chen Lihua answered with a smile and another question was posed towards her by a different reporter.


    "How are you feeling as you are now engaged to Mr Liu?"


    "Am very happy that he finally put a ring on my finger". Chen Lihua said sounding like she had waited till forever before Liu Longwei finally engaged her.


    As Chen Lihua answered this question, she showed how happy she was by giving them her beautiful smile, thereby displaying those perfect dimples of hers.


    Then she looked at Liu Longwei lovingly before looking back at the Reporters.


    The Reporters couldn''t help but capture that beautiful smile and moment. So the lights from their Cameras kept flashing, and Chen Lihua had to bow her head a little.


    When the reporters saw her bow, they thought she was shy, and so stopped flashing their cameras.


    A matured female reporter who looked like she''s been in the business for years and had gained many experiences asked Liu Longwei.


    "Mr Liu we are very curious. With your kind of person, nobody is able to force you to do anything you don''t want to do, or even to the extent of forcing you to meet with someone you don''t know. So tell us what attracted you to Miss Chen, what made you want to meet her?"


    "All the credit goes to Lady Chen because, she really knows her to market her product. She proved to me that she was indeed a business woman who was not to be trifled with".


    This statement made the reporters shocked beyond measures.


    Liu Longwei then turned to his face to look at the woman beside him, who had a fake frown on her face.


    Chen Lihua gave a fake frown as she asked, "Are you indirectly referring me to a commodity? Don''t you want to get married anymore? Should I return the engagement ring back to you?"


    Liu Longwei couldn''t hide his smile any longer while looking at the cute expression on her face. So he smiled deeply, such that his s.e.xy eyes became more pronounced.


    Then he let go of her hand and hugged her shoulders with the same hand as he hurriedly apologized, "I was just joking, am sorry".


    Chen Lihua then smiled saying, "Apology accepted".


    And so Liu Longwei turned back to the camera and continued with his speech.


    I don''t think ???? any of the reporters present has ever received this kind of shock ???? before.


    They were like, ''Is this a PDA (Public Display of Affection)?''


    They''ve never seen any couple that quarrelled and made up in front of the cameras, even though it was fake.


    But there was no time to dawdle in all these things now.


    Their main Priority was to get the interview done, fight for the last question and go back to their different news agencies to submit the reports they got. Then every other thing could come up.


    Liu Longwei said, "When I saw my wife''s profile, I felt the need and urge to meet her because she caught my attention. And the first time we met was the day we signed and collected our Marriage Certificate".


    The reporter''s doubts were now cleared that Chen Lihua was indeed married, not just to anyone, but to the Tyrant Emperor.


    Another male reporter asked, "Mr Liu according to what you said now, you two are legally married. From your interaction with your wife and the little PDA we just saw, we deduced that you two are especially close, and from the little information we heard you wedding date is close. But you two are behaving like an old married couple. Can you tell us why it is so?"


    "Since we are legally married, we are especially close because we live together and we''ve also been interacting with each other in every opportunity we get from our free time".


    ''We live together''. This sentence totally caught all the reporters off guard, as some of them were already letting their imagination run wide, forgetting that married couples should live together.


    So their dirty thoughts went this way, ''In a house where a handsome man and a beautiful woman stay together, what will happen between them?'' ????????.

 Chapter 157 - Engagement Party.

    ''We live together''. This sentence totally caught all the reporters off guard, as some of them were already letting their imagination run wide, forgetting that married couples should live together.


    So their dirty thoughts went this way, ''In a house where a handsome man and a beautiful woman stay together, what will happen between them?'' ????????.


    Suddenly, a rookie male reporter asked as loud as his voice could carry his words.


    "Please one more thing, Mrs Liu. Could you please allow us to take a peek at your Engagement ring?"


    As Chen Lihua was about to be pulled away by Liu Longwei, she stopped when she heard the question.


    "No problem". Chen Lihua replied and raised her left palm to her chest level, displaying the ''Graff Pink Diamond Ring'' worth $46.2 million.


    Gasps of wows escaped from their lips as they stared at Chen Lihua''s ring finger. Then lights from their Cameras kept flashing on her left palm.


    But because of the light, Chen Lihua brought her hand down in seconds.


    Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand and started walking off towards the entrance door of the building.


    And as he did so, the bodyguards totally surrounded them again, allowing the two to be in the middle as they made way for them and escorted them inside.


    But that didn''t stop more questions to come from the reporters. So they began to ask questions that they were curious about their answers.


    "Mr Liu is your union an arranged Marriage?"


    "Mrs Liu how is your relationship with your in-laws?"


    "Mrs Liu, your engagement ring looks expensive, who designed it?"


    "Mrs Liu how much is your ring worth?"


    But all they received was silence.


    The last two questions enveloped a kind of curiosity in them, so they started finding those that took a picture of the ring, to exchange information.


    Inside the hotel lounge, Chen Lihua met the same kind of atmosphere she met in the living room. Just that this time around, she met absolute darkness, she could hardly see a thing.


    So she needed Liu Longwei''s guardians in other to walk.


    "Longwei what kind of surprise do you have for me again?" Chen Lihua inquired.


    "Give me a second". Liu Longwei said as he clicked his fingers, and suddenly the whole place lighted up.


    And as Chen Lihua was trying to recover from the sudden brightness from her surroundings, she heard a shout from so many voices, both male and female congratulating her.


    "Congratulations Mrs Liu!"


    Their voices were very loud and unexpected, so Chen Lihua covered her ears unconsciously.


    Immediately their voices faded, rock music started to play, and that was when Chen Lihua was able to get a good look at her surroundings.


    ''Good lighting, Beautiful decorations''. Chen Lihua evaluated.


    Just then, her eyes rested on the familiar and unfamiliar faces.


    Then something caught her attention. Four white people. Two men and two ladies.


    Then she called out in fluent English as if she wasn''t sure, "Jessica, is that you?"


    "Yes Baby girl, that''s me". The slim black American lady said as she walked towards Chen Lihua with the others. She was the only black American in their midst.


    Then Chen Lihua called out to the rest, with a tinge of shock in her voice, "Jesse, Angel, Mark, what are you guys doing here?"


    "What? You are not happy to see us?" Angel asked with a smile.


    "Of course am happy to see you all. It''s just that am shocked. How did you know about this?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Jesse smiled and pulled Chen Lihua in for a hug as he said, "You should greet us first before any question should come up. So how are you doing, beautiful?"


    Chen Lihua hugged him back, "Am fine and you?" Before hugging the others and apologizing, "Guys I am so sorry".


    They were among her very good friends, so they didn''t even take it to heart.


    Mark answered her question. "We were touring Asia, and in a bid to surprise you, we decided to come down to China. But we didn''t know the exact town you stayed, so we started making inquiries, and that was how we were dragged to this party by your husband".


    "This is indeed a wonderful surprise. Thank you guys for coming". Chen Lihua said as she smiled gratefully.


    "Come on, you don''t have to thank us, what are friends for?" Angel said happily.


    "Lily we got something for you. It''s a surprise and so we can''t tell you. But you will get your present after the party". Jesse said, giving knowing smile.


    "Come on girl, show us your engagement ring". Jessica giggled.


    Chen Liu smiled as she showed her ring finger to them.


    Jessica immediately held her fingers on sighting the ring and exclaimed, "OMG! This ring is beautiful and it looks like it costs cities".


    All of them admired the ring and praised her.


    Then Mark said, "Of course, that ring costs a fortune". Then he looked at the clueless Chen Lihua and asked, "Do you even know how much your ring is worth?"


    Chen Lihua answered, "No. I asked my husband, but he refused to tell me the price, so I decided to let it go. Do you know the worth? Hurry up and tell me"


    "Since your husband doesn''t want you to know, then I won''t tell you. Because given your nature, you might even return the ring to him".


    Chen Lihua sighed in disappointment, and so didn''t ask further.


    They all picked up champagne glasses from the table and started conversing and laughing.


    Liu Longwei who has long abandoned his wife was seen drinking with his friends.


    When Chen Lihua hugged her friends, including the male friends, One of Liu Longwei''s friends pointed towards that direction and asked him, "Your wife is hugging other men. Are you sure she won''t be snatched away tonight?"


    Liu Longwei looked towards Chen Lihua''s direction and answered, "Not possible because she loves me deep down her heart".


    Then after a while, he stood up and walked towards Chen Lihua.


    As Chen Lihua was busy laughing, she didn''t notice that Liu Longwei was standing behind her until Jessica gave her a sign to look behind her.

 Chapter 158 - Compliments from his friends.

    Liu Longwei looked towards Chen Lihua''s direction and answered, "Not possible because she loves me deep down her heart".


    Then after a while, he stood up and walked towards Chen Lihua.


    As Chen Lihua was busy laughing, she didn''t notice that Liu Longwei was standing behind her until Jessica gave her a sign for her to look behind, and so she did.


    Seeing her husband staring at her, she smiled and looked at him as well while holding unto her wine glass.


    Liu Longwei looked at her friends as he apologized, "Am sorry for interrupting you, but I have to take my wife away for a while".


    Chen Lihua''s friends all smiled and nodded in understanding. Jessica said, "Go ahead and take her".


    Chen Lihua dropped her wine glass on the table. Then she stood up and walked to stand beside Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei took her hand in his as he took her away.


    "I want to introduce my friends to you. You don''t have to acknowledge them. Just take it as a formality".


    "Ok". Chen Lihua answered as she walked with him.


    Liu Longwei then glanced sideways to look at that irresistible face, and so he smiled faintly.


    Having reached the corner where those groups of handsome young men were sitting, Liu Longwei released her hand.


    "Longwei we thought you ran off to sit by yourself. But who knew you went to bring the beauty".


    "Yeah, me too".


    "Longwei you actually got yourself a beauty".


    "Hello Sister-in-law". A handsome man who was sitting cross-legged stood up to greet Chen Lihua.


    And then, Liu Longwei ignored everyone else as he introduced Chen Lihua to the man in a grey suit.


    He whispered in her ears, "That''s Liu Dongmei''s husband, Mu Boqin. He owns the biggest mining company in China".


    Then Chen Lihua smiled as she stretched forth her right hand, "Hello Mr. Mu".


    Mu Boqin stretched forth his hand to receive her hand in a handshake as he smiled.


    "Mr. Liu you''d better introduce your wife to us, or I will rant out about your past". A handsome young Chap in a Chinese Artistic look joked.


    "He is Zhang Bingwen, a famous movie producer and an actor". Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua.


    "No wonder he looked familiar to me". Chen Lihua said as she greeted the person.


    Then Liu Longwei continued with his introduction.


    "That''s Su Changming, his family owns one of the biggest biopharmaceutical companies in Asia".


    "The mad man with blue hair is Wu Bohai. He is a famous Playboy, His family owns chains of hotels, casinos, and clubs. Stay away from him". Chen Lihua laughed out loud when she heard Liu Longwei call the blue-haired man a mad man.


    "The one on casual polo is Han Jian. His family owns a textile company".


    "The one on glasses is Li Da. He is a neurosurgeon at the same hospital as you".


    "Nice to meet you, Dr. Li". Chen Lihua greeted.


    "No need for the formalities, just call me Li Da.". Li Da said with a polite smile.


    "I am not sure you two have met each other in the hospital since you are indifferent departments". Liu Longwei said.


    "I don''t think I''ve seen him at the hospital". Chen Lihua said while shaking her head in a negative affirmation.


    Just then, Li Da smiled and said some shocking words, "I''ve seen you before, and I''ve heard about you. Whenever I see you, you''re always in a hurry, and that has left a lasting impression on me. But then, I didn''t know you were Longwei''s wife."


    "Oh!" Chen Lihua exclaimed surprisingly. But then, she asked, "Just now, you said you''ve heard about me, from whom?"


    Every other person became interested to know the answer, so they perked their ears high.


    "From the chief neurosurgeon at the hospital. I know that you''re not just a genius or the youngest Cardiologist in the world, but you''re also a cardiothoracic surgeon". Li Da said with a knowing smile.


    The guys had their mouths agape in surprise. Liu Longwei smiled and dragged the shocked Chen Lihua to sit down.


    Chen Lihua was shocked and then asked, "You didn''t do a background check on me right? Otherwise, you wouldn''t have known this".


    Li Da hurried to explain, "Mrs. Liu, you need to calm down. I will never do that, or do you think your husband will let that happen? At first, I believed you were just a cardiologist. But when I heard from my chief you were going to assist Chief Surgeon Song to perform a heart transplant, I knew you were a cardiac surgeon because cardiologists do not perform open surgeries".


    "Wow! That''s impressive". Wu Bohai said in awe.


    "Longwei you really got yourself a capable wife". Zhang Bingwen said.


    "I wonder how shocked the world will be when they hear this news. Longwei you really have to treasure your precious gem, or other people will teach you how to do it". Su Changming said seriously.


    "Mrs. Liu is really an epitome of beauty and brains". Han Jian said with a look of admiration.


    Chen Lihua blushed in embarrassment, but she thanked them for their compliments, and they all toasted.


    "Sister-in-law Lihua". Wu Bohai called out.


    "It''s so stressful calling me that, so you all can call me Lihua". Chen Lihua said.


    "Wow! See how considerate your wife is". Zhang Bingwen said as he rolled his eyes at Liu Longwei. Then he thanked Chen Lihua, "Thanks Lihua". But Chen Lihua didn''t take it as anything.


    "Lihua can I give you a hug?" Wu Bohai asked shamelessly.


    Everyone at that table had their eyes widened in surprise.


    Liu Longwei just sat there without saying or doing anything because he wanted his wife to settle the matter herself.


    At first, Chen Lihua thought she didn''t hear well. But she asked, "Why should I do that?"


    "You hugged your friends earlier. So since am your friend now, you can also give me a hug". Wu Bohai answered.


    "I didn''t just hug them because they are my friends. I haven''t seen them for a while, so I felt a little sentimental towards meeting them after a long time. And besides, you are not my friend, but an acquaintance now. The person who is your friend here is my husband. So if you''re looking for a friend to hug, he''s obviously sitting close to me, so go ahead". Chen Lihua answered.


    There was silence for only two seconds before all of them burst into laughter.


    Although Liu Longwei didn''t laugh like them, his chuckle could tell you that he really liked the method his wife used in handling the matter herself.

 Chapter 159 - Feeding her from his mouth to her mouth.

    "I didn''t just hug them because they are my friends. I haven''t seen them for a while, so I felt a little sentimental towards meeting them after a long time. And besides, you are not my friend, but an acquaintance now. The person who is your friend here is my husband. So if you''re looking for a friend to hug, he''s obviously sitting close to me, so go ahead". Chen Lihua answered.


    There was silence for only two seconds before all of them burst into laughter.


    Although Liu Longwei didn''t laugh like them, his chuckle could tell you that he really liked the method his wife used in handling the matter herself.


    Just then, the music playing changed to instrumentals (Violin ????, Piano ????). The song that was playing now was perfect for a ball dance.


    Chen Lihua''s friends walked up to them and asked Chen Lihua to have a dance with Liu Longwei, and Liu Longwei''s friends agreed and cheered them on as well.


    Chen Lihua refused because she was embarrassed, and is remained sitting. But how could her friends let her off just like that?


    Jessica and Angel immediately pulled her up and dragged her to the middle of the room.


    Then Liu Longwei walked towards her in a calm manner.


    Seeing him close to her, Chen Lihua raised her hands and tried to plead with him to let her off, but Liu Longwei directly pulled her into his embrace.


    He hugged her waist and whispered seductively into her ears, "What are you scared of? It''s just a dance and nothing else, so relax and follow my steps".


    At his words, Chen Lihua finally relaxed and followed his steps.


    As they danced, the others just watched from the side with smiles.


    This dance was really romantic because Liu Longwei kept doing Unimaginable things to his wife.


    For example, he caressed her bareback with every opportunity he got, and that sent shivers to Chen Lihua''s spine.


    Then he would whisper sweet words to her ears and let his hot breath tease her neck.


    At first, the others didn''t understand what was going on until they saw Liu Longwei repeatedly do that. So they all smiled and cheered from the side.


    Chen Lihua was beyond embarrassed, and so couldn''t wait to get away from her lecher of a husband.


    When the dance finally came to an end, Liu Longwei kissed Chen Lihua on her forehead before saying to her with a smile, "I love you", before hugging her.


    And his actions brought cheers and applauds from their friends.


    After the dance, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei cut their Engagement cake ???? and popped the Champagne ????.


    Angel cut a piece of cake and brought it to Liu Longwei who was already sitting with Chen Lihua. Then, she said with a teasing smile.


    "Mr. Liu you have to feed this cake to your wife, and that too by mouth to mouth".


    Everybody in the house supported the motion, and so they started cheering.


    Chen Lihua almost stopped breathing, so she held her chest and said, "Oh my God!"


    Angel laughed at her, and she glared back at Angel saying, "Angel, have you gone nuts?"


    Angel made a funny face at her, "I know you''re shy, but you still have to do it, I am sorry".


    Then she walked away to join the others in cheering her up.


    Liu Longwei''s smile deepened when he saw his wife''s face fuming mad in anger. So he contained his smile and said to her, "Stop frowning, and let''s do it, there''s nothing wrong with it".


    As Chen Lihua turned sideways to look at him, Han Jian whistled from the side, and Wu Bohai said, "Yes there''s nothing wrong with it, he is your husband".


    So Chen Lihua got a little distracted and turned to the crowd to look for who made the comment.


    Then Liu Longwei used that opportunity to put a piece of cake in between his teeth and moved his face closer to Chen Lihua.


    Loud shouts and cheers erupted from the crowd. Chen Lihua was not stupid to know that the happy cheers weren''t for her, so she quickly turned back to look at Liu Longwei, but it was too late because Liu Longwei held her face gently before forcing the cake into her mouth.


    But as if that wasn''t enough, he continued kissing her and even ate the cake from her mouth.


    This alone caused the shouts and cheers to increase.


    Chen Lihua held Liu Longwei''s arms and tried to break free from the entanglement, but she couldn''t, so she had no choice than to stay in place because the more she moved, the more pressure Liu Longwei applied.


    Zhang Bingwen was busy recording the whole scenario with his phone, also cheered from the side and said happily, "I''ve finally gotten a romantic scene to add to my movie".


    Mu Boqin was not left out of the fun. He laughed heartily and said as he captured the scenes with his phone because of his wife''s instructions.


    "I never knew Longwei could be this romantic".


    "What do you expect from a man mad deep in love," Li Da said with a smile.


    After a while, the kiss finally came to an end. But Chen Lihua was too shy to look at anyone''s face, so she stayed in Liu Longwei''s embrace with her palms over her face, blushing.


    "Lihua is really embarrassed now". Jesse commented.


    "Of course she has to be, or I would have doubted if she was really the one". Angel said with a smirk.


    Then Mark asked, "So you did that on purpose because you knew she would definitely be embarrassed?"


    "Of course, or do you think I will waste my efforts". Angel admitted with a very big smile.


    "I really missed her embarrassed and shy look. She looks so cute and charming that way". Jessica said with pouted lips.


    Seeing how shy his wife was, Liu Longwei smiled and hugged her closely. Then he tried talking to her, but all he got was, "Leave me alone", but the woman who wanted to be left alone was still hiding in his embrace.

 Chapter 160 - Eye-catching Betrothal Gifts.

    "I really missed her embarrassed and shy look. She looks so cute and charming that way". Jessica said with pouted lips.


    Seeing how shy his wife was, Liu Longwei smiled and hugged her closely. Then he tried talking to her, but all he got was, "Leave me alone", but the woman who wanted to be left alone was still hiding in his embrace.


    So he smiled deeply before telling the others in a serious tone, "No more laughing, and no one here is allowed to tease my wife on this matter".


    So that was how Chen Lihua was free from all the teasing.


    So they all ate happily and enjoyed delicious desserts in different shapes, colours, and sizes.


    Except for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei, they were on the dance floor immediately the DJ changed the music to a POP.


    Chen Lihua kept smiling as she watched them dance. So Liu Longwei gazed at her with an affectionate smile. So because of the loud music, he leaned in to whisper to her ear, "Are you comfortable?"


    Chen Lihua then broke out from her daze, look at him with a smile, and then she nodded in a positive affirmation.


    The engagement party finally came to an end, but soft music was still playing in the background when everyone presented their gifts to the couple.


    The gifts were precisely for Chen Lihua as it seemed no one remembered her young billionaire husband. So sorry for him.


    Liu Longwei''s friends presented Chen Lihua with some jewellery and their business cards while telling her to contact them if she needed their assistance pertaining to their area of work.


    They told her they will prepare bigger gifts for her at her wedding. As they didn''t know her personality and what she would like since they haven''t seen her before now, they just got her a little token.


    Chen Lihua happily accepted their gifts and said, "No troubles, thank you".


    Then her friends presented her with three wrapped gift boxes.


    As Angel handed one of the boxes over to her, she said, "Remember not to Squash it". Then Chen Lihua nodded with a smile while wondering what was inside the box that should be treated with care.


    Jesse and Mark handed another one over to her. Then Jessica handed the last one to her.


    Chen Lihua gave a ''thank you'' speech to all of them.


    Before leaving the venue with Liu Longwei, she spoke with her friends for a while.


    There she found out from them that they have already booked their hotel rooms and return flight tickets because they were leaving China the next morning back to their country.


    So they told Chen Lihua not to bother sending them to the Airport the next day. They gave her goodbye hugs.


    Shortly before Chen Lihua left, Wu Bohai (family owns clubs, casino houses, and chains of hotels) stood in front of Chen Lihua and tried to give her a hug, but he was pulled back by Mu Boqin (Family owns Mining companies) and Li Da (Neurosurgeon, a family of neurosurgeons).


    And laughter erupted from their mouths.


    They bid farewell to the couple and each found their ways to their respective dwelling place.


    It was not a problem for Chen Lihua''s white friends to communicate with the rest because they all knew, understood and spoke English.


    Getting home, Chen Lihua admired the decorations in the living room. If the Sofa was still there, she would have sat on it to continue admiring the beautifully decorated room. But unfortunately, the furniture had long been cleared out during the course of decoration.


    As Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei stood in the middle of the corridor, between the doors to their rooms, Chen Lihua said to Liu Longwei with a beautiful smile plastered on her face, "Longwei thank you for today, I really had fun which I haven''t had in a long time".


    Then she proceeded to give him a hug.


    Liu Longwei smile as he hugged her back. One hand patting her hair and the other on her bareback (hand in between her hair and back).


    When Chen Lihua leaned away, he kissed her forehead and they said goodbye to each other with a longing smile for each other before going into their respective rooms.


    The next morning, explosive news was all over the stations, radio and TV stations.


    The news was on a particular couple, but with different headings.


    That morning, the Internet was chaotic. Some fans sent their congratulatory messages.


    With this news, basically, everyone knew about Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s marriage and upcoming wedding.


    Now, the world knew who Chen Lihua''s hidden husband was.


    The heads of departments that doubted Liu Longwei''s marriage were slapped on their faces as they watched the video the reporter got from interviewing Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua.


    Amidst all of this chaos, the Liu and Chen families were at peace.


    And Liu Longwei chose that morning to send Chen Lihua''s bridal price and betrothal gifts to the Chen residence.


    The Liu family had already met with Lady Chen and a few from the Chen Family to discuss the bridal price and other things required.


    The meeting went perfectly well because these two families were acquainted with each other, and money had never been a problem for them.


    The betrothal is an important part of the Chinese wedding tradition. During this exchange, the groom''s family or the groom presents the bride''s family with betrothal gifts to symbolize prosperity and good luck.


    So in this case, Liu Longwei paid two times the money required for Chen Lihu''s bride price. Then for the betrothal gifts, the Liu family sent gifts in even numbers.


    For the food items, they sent two bottles of expensive wine, fruits, tea, peanut, and date.


    For Jewellery, they sent Gold wristwatches, chains, and bracelets, Pearl necklace and earnings, Diamond earrings, hair clips and pins with gems embedded in them, etc.


    For other items, they gave Chen Lihua some properties under her name, land deeds, and 2% shares of Liu''s cooperation.


    These betrothal gifts showed how much the Liu Family loved and valued Chen Lihua.


    Imagine if the Public should get wind of this, I don''t think they will be able to take the blow, especially for some haters lurking around with nothing to do, but hatred and envy in their hearts.

 Chapter 161 - Oh! I miss India right now.

    The betrothal gifts showed how much the Liu Family loved and valued Chen Lihua.


    Imagine if the Public should get wind of this, I don''t think they will be able to take the blow, especially for some haters lurking around with nothing to do, but hatred and envy in their hearts.


    Chen Lihua was oblivious to what was happening as she dragged Liu Longwei into her room to open the presents she received from her engagement party.


    She did that because she felt he needed to see the gifts given to her by their friends.


    Liu Longwei knew it was her method of getting away from their morning workouts.


    But nevertheless, he still compiled with her and allowed himself to be dragged into her room still in his sportswear.


    He sat on the sofa comfortably. Inhaling her Vanilla Scent that was not difficult to notice in the room, he relaxed the more on the sofa as he rubbed his temples.


    Then he looked at the woman who was trying to open one of the small gift boxes and asked, "This is one of your ways of trying to skip the morning exercise right?"


    Chen Lihua''s heartbeat increased a pace as she put on a serious expression on her face and turned to look at him, replying to him as she denied seriously, "Not at all. Am not that Lazy".


    Liu Longwei smiled, "Good! Since you are not lazy, then we will do some exercises to keep fit once you are done opening your presents".


    Chen Lihua bit her lower lips as she cursed him in her heart. She then dropped the present on the table. Putting on a fawning smile, she sat on the armchair as she tugged on his clothing.


    She then agreed with his reason and begged him to let her off for that morning.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he stared into those pair of helplessly pleading eyes.


    His smile was taken by Chen Lihua as his approval, so she pecked his cheek and smiled happily saying, "Thank you Husband".


    Then she got off the armchair and continued with unwrapping the gifts.


    Liu Longwei saw how happy she was from just skipping the morning exercise and sighed.


    But then, he started wondering when he who was so principled started deviating. He stared at Chen Lihua''s back and came to a conclusion, ''She is the reason''.


    Chen Lihua untied the ribbon and unwrapped the gift wrap, revealing a square-shaped black box with the imprint ''Rolex'' on it.


    Then she proceeded to open the box, revealing the dazzling ''Rolex GMT Master II ice''.


    This wristwatch is made of white Gold and includes numerous diamonds everywhere you look. And by ''everywhere'', I mean every inch of the watch.


    This Rolex GMT Master II Ice is definitely among the luxury head-turner wristwatches in the world.


    "This wristwatch exudes luxury on its own. And I am sure this might have burnt a hole in the guy''s pockets. And Rolex is my favorite wristwatch brand. OMG am so happy". Chen Lihua said with a smile as she showed the item to Liu Longwei, for him to see it properly.


    "Oh, it''s fine. At least they have wisdom". Liu Longwei said nonchalantly but still gave the wristwatch another glance.


    Chen Lihua was almost tempted to give the wristwatch a kiss, but then, she changed her mind.


    She closed the box and kept it aside as she proceeded to open other presents.


    This time around, she picked up another Square shaped box. She opened the box, displaying a pair of emerald green jade bangles.


    Immediately, she knew it was from Liu Longwei''s friends.


    She smiled happily and kept it away without trying them on.


    Then she started to unveil the presents her friends gave to her.


    She opened a big square-shaped gift Box to see butter-yellow Indian saree, and so with that surprise, she screamed happily and in shock.


    She had her hands over her mouth as she screamed, almost startling the servants who almost barged into her room to know what was wrong with their mistress, if not for seeing her drag their Master into her room.


    Liu Longwei was more composed because he was with her, and knew she wasn''t frightened because she screamed out of excitement. So curiously, he leaned in to take a look at the content of the box while asking, "What''s the matter?"


    "My friends got me an Indian Saree. OMG!" Chen Lihua replied as she brought the clothes out from the box to take a good look at it.


    Then she held the Silver blouse, on the other hand, to look at.


    Turning the blouse to see the back, she discovered that it had no Zip or button, but had strings of thread. Then her eyes widened in shock.


    She then began to wonder what they were thinking when they got her that style of blouse because she can''t wear it herself without needing someone''s help to tie the thread.


    Then she took a peek at Liu Longwei who was looking at the clothing in her hand with furrowed eyebrows because he still could not understand the mechanism of what he was seeing.


    Chen Lihua hurriedly folded the blouse and kept it aside as she placed the saree on her body and admired the color and beautiful silver embroidery on it.


    Liu Longwei continued looking at her without a word.


    So when she felt that she had admired the saree enough, she folded it and put it inside the box carefully.


    She moved over to the next box, on opening it, Indian silver jewelry met her eyes. The jewelry included a pair of earrings, necklace, bangles embedded with some colorful gems, then some hair accessories to match the outfit.


    Chen Lihua was so happy. She ranted happily to Liu Longwei for a while before opening the last gift box.


    She saw different varieties of Indian sweets there, and this almost caused tears of joy to drip from her eyes.


    She immediately picked one and put it into her mouth and savored the taste.


    After munching it, she said to Liu Longwei with a creamy look on her face.


    "My friends know me so well. Oh! I miss India right now".


    She then offered Liu Longwei one of the snacks to taste. At least she remembered to give him a bite.


    Liu Longwei shook his head, refusing to eat.

 Chapter 162 - Liu Longwei not allowed to touch.

    After munching it, she said to Liu Longwei with a dreamy look on her face.


    "My friends know me so well. Oh! I miss India right now".


    She then offered Liu Longwei one of the snacks to taste. At least she remembered to give him a bite.


    Liu Longwei shook his head, refusing to eat.


    But how could Chen Lihua take that? She said, "It''s delicious, I promise you won''t regret the taste" while forcing the small round snack into his mouth.


    Liu Longwei chewed on the snack as a sweet taste filled his mouth. Then he nodded after eating it.


    "The snack is really sweet".


    "See I told you it''s delicious. My friends are the best. They know I missed this, and so got them for me". Chen Lihua said and continued.


    "That''s right since we haven''t decided on a destination for our honeymoon, let''s go to India. All these gifts remind me of visiting India, so I have to go".


    Liu Longwei said with a smile, "Am glad you still know about our honeymoon. India can''t be the only country we''ll go to. Let''s pick two other countries. We have a week for our honeymoon".


    "Oh ok. I will pick another country and let you know about it later. Then you pick the third place". Chen Lihua concluded excitedly.


    Liu Longwei could only nod in agreement. Who told him to ask for her opinion?


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei ate the Indian sweets together, to the point they almost finished half of it at a go. They ate it as if it was food.


    It was Chen Lihua who could not bear for the sweets to finish at once, decided to cover the box as she said, "The rest is for later. If it finishes now, I will be sad. But too bad I can''t share it with anyone else. So you are an exception".


    Before leaving her room, Liu Longwei told her about having sent her bride price and betrothal gifts to the Chen residence that morning.


    Chen Lihua was surprised and asked what he sent, but Liu Longwei told her that she would know about it with time.


    This he said before leaving her room to go exercise by himself.


    As Chen Lihua was putting away the presents, something fell out from one of the gift boxes.


    The item was a small circular object. Then she proceeded to pick it up and examine it.


    Next, she found out the object could be opened, and so, she opened it, revealing a crimson red powdered substance.


    Chen Lihua smiled when she found out what it was. The crimson red powdered substance was called a sindoor or vermilion.


    The red sindoor is significant in India for the married woman as she is full of color and as a symbol of good fortune to her husband. When she becomes a widow she adopts the plain white dress and removes all colors from her face including the bright red sindoor.


    The sindoor is first applied to the woman by her husband on the day of her wedding; this is called the Sindhoor Daanam ceremony. After this, she applies it herself every day.


    The sindhoor is a mark of a married woman. It is applied to the parting of their hair above their forehead or as a dot on the forehead every day.


    With this, Chen Lihua began planning her outfit for her visit to India in her head.


    In the afternoon after having her lunch around 1 pm, Liu Longwei dropped her off at the Chen residence, since Chen Lihua would be coming with her mother to meet the Liu Family as they earlier agreed upon.


    Chen Lihua didn''t forget to take her Indian sweets with her.


    She wore a carrot orange crop singlet. She wore a jeans jacket over it without buttoning it. Then she wore a jean short skirt and a pair of orange heeled boots and a mini orange handbag ???? to match it.


    As for her accessories, she wore a silver chain necklace and a pair of silver earrings designed in a leaf form.


    She applied a little makeup on her face.


    Now her lips were all shiny orange.


    Satisfied with her looks, she blew a kiss in the mirror, put on her sunglasses before leaving her room.


    The maid following behind her with the pack of Indian sweets in her hands had her eyes glued to her.


    On one hand, she admired her Mistress beauty, but on the other hand, she had a shocked expression as she looked at her Mistress dressing.


    She deserved to be shocked because she has never seen her Mistress dressed that unreserved, looking like a senior high school student.


    Liu Longwei who had been waiting in the living room for her couldn''t hold back a shocked expression when he saw his Goddess descend the stairs in a hot mini skirt.


    Chen Lihua stopped beside him and watched his eyes roam around her body.


    Then she removed her sunglasses and asked him with a smile, "Are you shocked?"


    "I am indeed shocked by your appearance. I never knew that with your shy nature, you will dress this way. You look beautiful any way". Liu Longwei said with a smile as he stood to his feet.


    Then he locked Chen Lihua in his embrace before leaving a kiss on her cheek and her forehead.


    The maid at the side lowered her head in embarrassment.


    Then Liu Longwei in his sand dollar tan suit held Chen Lihua''s waist as they walked out together.


    For this trip to the Chen residence, Liu Longwei chose the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 to do the travel.


    All the way to the Chen residence, Liu Longwei kept looking at Chen Lihua''s exposed long slender legs. At a point, he even tried touching them, but Chen Lihua didn''t let him.


    She smiled as she held his naughty hand and then enunciated each word slowly, "No way".


    But Liu Longwei smiled creepily before using his other hand to put in between her legs.


    Out of shock, Chen Lihua clasped her legs with his hand still there.


    "What are you doing? You are s.e.x.u.a.lly harassing me".


    "I don''t think you put it that way. It''s my first time seeing you in a skirt, that too a short and hot one. If you are not trying to seduce me, then what are you doing?" Liu Longwei asked as he still tried to move his stuck fingers, but Chen Lihua really held it right.


    "I am not trying to seduce you with my dressing because I know you will still be seduced no matter what I wear. Have you forgotten that I am a supermodel? Before I came back to China, I used to dress like this sometimes because of the culture there, and no one knew my relationship with my mother. Now being married to you, I even have to be careful with my image". Chen Lihua complained.

 Chapter 163 - Hello Mom! Am not a baby anymore.

    "I am not trying to seduce you with my dressing because I know you will still be seduced no matter what I wear. Have you forgotten that I am a supermodel? Before I came back to China, I used to dress like this sometimes because of the culture there, and no one knew my relationship with my mother. Now being married to you, I even have to be careful with my image". Chen Lihua complained.


    "You don''t need to bother about the media, you can dress how you want, as long as you are comfortable. But don''t go nude". Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua laughed, "Do I look like I will ever go nude? I can bet you that you will never see any of my nude pictures in any magazine or advertis.e.m.e.nt. You won''t even see me in a bra and pants. But the s.e.xiest of my modeling pictures is in a Bikini, it was more of a s.e.xy swimsuit, and not a bra and pant". Chen Lihua clarified immediately.


    "Mmmmm! Seems like we will have to visit the beach soon as I will love to see you in a s.e.xy bikini". Liu Longwei smiled as he tried moving the hand still in between Chen Lihua''s laps.


    Chen Lihua then let go of his other hand she was grabbing and used both hands to pry off the naughty hands that were almost creeping into her pants.


    Liu Longwei used that opportunity to touch her exposed body which was revealed due to the crop singlet she wore.


    He tickled her waist and she laughed out loud, releasing his hand in the process.


    These two forgetting their surroundings, were already in their own world playing.


    Chen Lihua laughed out loud ???????? as she said with laughter in her voice, "Longwei stop! If you don''t stop soon, I am going to release some gas or maybe pee on my pants".


    Liu Longwei stopped immediately.


    "You will release some air or pee on your pants? Are you a kid? I would rather have you be my Lady as you have always been".


    Then he placed his warm palm on her really flat stomach.


    "Your stomach is really flat. It doesn''t even seem like you just had your lunch".


    Chen Lihua smiled as she let his hand be.


    "It''s not like I just finished eating immediately. Imagine if it''s been hours since my last meal already, my stomach would have been more flat than this".


    "Oh!" Liu Longwei said and let go of her. Then he said to her seriously, "I love your look and would love to take a picture with you".


    "Well am honored". Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    Without wasting time, Liu Longwei handed his phone to the bodyguard in front so he could take their pictures.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua looked at the picture together and both smile happily.


    "The picture came out fine". Chen Lihua said.


    "That''s how it should be because we are good looking". Liu Longwei replied proudly.


    Chen Lihua asked for the picture, and Liu Longwei sent the picture to her and both of them posted it on their WeChat moments.


    Liu Longwei posted it on his Instagram page and ended up setting his page on fire as it was his first post after six months.


    His followers deserved to be shocked because he had indeed proved to them again that he was indeed together with Chen Lihua.


    Then the eye-catching caption, ''My beautiful Wife and my handsome self''. ???????? It said the situation clearly.


    After posting, he kept his phone back as if he didn''t do anything.


    Chen Lihua also posted their picture on her Instagram page as it was her first time posting about Liu Longwei, and she did so without knowing that Liu Longwei had already done his.


    Her post caused thrills and excitement from her fans and followers and soon they started reacting to the picture.


    Her caption was, ''We look good together''.


    Both talked about their looks, and it was actually a coincidence.


    Since they followed each other on IG (Instagram), they laughed when they saw each other''s posts.


    As they arrived at the Chen residence a black car drove passed them.


    There were so many fleets of flashy cars packed in the Chen residence. This was as a result of the day''s agenda.


    Now it seemed like the whole Chen Family and their relatives were around.


    Liu Longwei didn''t come down from the car and wanted to leave immediately after dropping Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua noticed and asked about it, but Liu Longwei gave this reply, "I don''t want anyone to see my handsome looks till the appointed time".


    Chen Lihua laughed at him, and they only parted ways after Liu Longwei gave her a gentle hug and buttoned jacket top two buttons of her jean jacket while giving the excuse that her chest was in view, and didn''t want anyone to see his property.


    Just as Chen Lihua was about stepping into the living room, she heard laughter and people chatting. Then she met Lady Chen who looked at her from top to bottom with a big smile on her face.


    "My baby''s dressing is so on point today. I wish there was still time, then I would have really taken a shot with you".


    "Hello, Mom. Am not a baby anymore". Chen Lihua smiled and hugged her mother while clarifying.


    "I don''t care, you would forever remain my baby". Lady Chen hugged her back before releasing her.


    Then looking sideways and her daughter''s back, she asked, "Where is your husband, he didn''t come with you?"


    "He dropped me off and has gone to the Liu Family to prepare to welcome us. Come on let''s go inside, I can feel how lively it is inside from here". Chen Lihua smiles and held her mother''s hand.


    "That''s right, some of your uncles, aunts, and cousins are here already". Lady Chen said as she pulled her daughter in.


    Lady Chen smiled happily as????????she remembered something and added, "After greeting them, then I will show you the betrothal gifts the Liu family sent for you".

 Chapter 164 - She must have grown wings.

    "That''s right, some of your uncles, aunts, and cousins are here already". Lady Chen said as she pulled her daughter in.


    Lady Chen smiled happily as????????she remembered something and added, "After greeting them, then I will show you the betrothal gifts the Liu family sent for you".


    As Chen Lihua entered the living room with her mother, she folded her sunglasses and put it in her little handbag????.


    In the Living room, Chen Lihua was greeted and hugged by her aunts, uncles, and cousins.


    They were all happy to see her and congratulated her on her marriage.


    It''s been years since she last saw some of them, so she was kind of a bit awkward when chatting with them.


    Her cousins included three females and two males.


    One of the girls is in her final year in college. One just graduated from college and already got into the company last month. While the older one is already working in the Chen Company.


    As for her male cousins, one was a lawyer, while the other one was still a young guy in Junior High School.


    The junior guy is Lady Chen''s nephew. He is the son of her older brother.


    Lady Chen''s brother and sister in law had a hard time for years before conceiving him, so he is a little spoilt.


    At present, three of Chen Lihua''s uncles were present with their wives. Two from her father''s side, and one from her mother''s side. Then her father''s only sister was there as well.


    Lady Chen looked at her wristwatch to check the time before saying with a smile, "Bingbing (Her elder sister whom Chen Lihua stayed within the USA for a while) should be here with her family before we leave, their plane should be about to land. As for mother and father (Her in-laws), they should be here any minute from now.


    Chen Lihua spoke to the young boy, "How are you?"


    The junior boy looks at her with an arrogant look before speaking in English, "Are you the one getting married?"


    Chen Lihua put on a smile and conversed with him in English, "Well yeah".


    "Oh". The junior guy said before keeping quiet and looking away.


    "What''s your name?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "I think we don''t know each other too well to keep the conversation going. But since I kind of like you, then you are deemed worthy by me to know your name. My name is Guo Kang, but you are permitted to call me Kang". Guo Kang said as he leaned into his seat, leaving his feet hanging.


    Chen Lihua was speechless for a while at the boy''s arrogance. But she still smiled.


    "Nice to meet you, Kang".


    The little guy nodded and said in French "Nice to meet you too Sister Lihua".


    Chen Lihua felt that the boy''s arrogance had reached a new level. So she just smiled before moving her face away.


    As she conversed with her other cousins, she felt they were all over her. But that was because she hasn''t been close with them for a while, so she felt a little uncomfortable.


    And she wasn''t one to converse with people she wasn''t close to or knew well enough.


    Just then, an old couple came in, and they were Chen Lihua''s grandparents.


    Everyone stood up to greet them.


    To tell you the truth, Chen Lihua didn''t feel anything when she saw them. But she just remained polite.


    She hugged them and asked about their health, and that was all.


    But her grandparents were happy to see her and pulled her to sit with them. So they started bombarding her with questions as it''s been years since they last set their old eyes on her.


    Chen Lihua was really fed up with their questions, and so she signaled her mother to save her, and so she did.


    But just before leaving, her father''s sister Aunt Lin swirled the wine ???? in her cup as she put on a slight smile, "Lihua what do you think, or should I say, how will you feel if you were to see your father again?".


    Chen Lihua and Lady Chen''s footsteps froze.


    Not only that, but it also seemed like time just stopped for everyone in that room.


    Everyone there knew that Chen Lihua hated her father the most. So for Aunt Lin to ask that question, she must be looking for trouble.


    When she saw how everyone was quiet, she then laughed sarcastically, "I was just joking".


    Chen Lihua turned to look at her Aunt. But as she tried walking forward, Lady Chen grabbed her hand to stop her, afraid she would cause trouble.


    But not to worry, if Chen Lihua couldn''t move with her legs, her mouth was still there.


    So with a slight smile, she said, "Aunty Lin I didn''t find your joke funny at all. Everyone here knows that I hate my father the most. So by mentioning him on this happy occasion, are you trying to ruin the atmosphere and get me angry. If that is your plan, be careful I don''t ruin your smile in the process".


    As she turned to leave, she said, "After my dead father, you''re the next in line".


    And with that sentence, she walked away.


    What Chen Lihua meant by that sentence is, Aunt Lin was next in line amongst the people she hated, with her father being the first.


    Aunt Lin''s smile could not be seen anymore, she was angry ????????.


    "Sister Lin I think you should hold your tongue for today". Lady Chen said before chasing after Chen Lihua who had gone up the stairs.


    After the mother and daughter pair left, the old man hit his walking stick on the floor in anger before looking at his daughter, "Chen Lin! You have gone too far!"


    The old Lady said as well, "What is wrong with you Lin?"


    But the person they were all angry with, and questioning was already fuming mad ???????? by now.


    She couldn''t believe what just happened.


    ''Did that girl just threaten me now? She must have grown wings''.

 Chapter 165 - The Chen and Liu families meet.

    The old Lady said as well, "What is wrong with you Lin?"


    But the person they were all angry with, and questioning was already fuming mad ???????? by now.


    She couldn''t believe what just happened.


    ''Did that girl just threaten me now? She must have grown wings''.


    In Chen Lihua''s room, Lady Chen was patting Chen Lihua''s back while comforting her.


    "Lihua calm down. You don''t have to listen to whatever your Aunt says. You know very well that she likes getting on people''s nerves, especially when she is not in the right mood, so you don''t have to mind her".


    "I know mom, thank you". Chen Lihua said and squeezed her mother''s hand gently, completely calming down.


    Then she looked around her room to see that it was well cleaned and looked after.


    Then her eyes glanced at the boxes wrapped properly with double happiness written on it.


    Lady Chen dragged her to sit on the rug as they unwrapped the gift boxes.


    Because of her short skirt, Chen Lihua had to sit in a yoga position. That is, she first knelt on the soft feathered rug, before bending to sit on her lower legs (calf) ????.


    As they unwrapped the gift boxes, Chen Lihua was astonished by the things that were dazzling her eyes, while Lady Chen smiled happily saying, "You don''t need to be shocked, you deserve all of these. And I can afford it for you as well. I don''t want you looking as if you''ve never seen any of these before. But it''s good you are happy. This betrothal gifts shows how highly the Liu family thinks of you. At least now my heart is settled".


    "Before I forget, these are the deeds of all the properties now in your name. All you have to do is to sign it and let the lawyers tidy up the remaining work". Lady Chen said as she handed a few doc.u.ments to her.


    Chen Lihua took the doc.u.ments and glanced at them before sighing.


    "Am thankful to the Liu Family for showing me this much love and support".


    Then she smiled and said, "Now I have more money to spend. I will transfer some money to your orphanage account for the children".


    "You have to send a reasonable amount because I want to take them on a trip for their holidays and buy gifts for them as well". Lady Chen said with a smile.


    "Mom, you are talking as if you don''t have more than enough money to do just that. And besides your money, I also send a part of my salary to you every month. And all those that want to curry favour with you, also sponsor the kids under your care as well". Chen Lihua said.


    "Don''t mind me. But you have to get ready for the meeting/party, we don''t want to be late". Lady Chen said as she got up from the rug.


    Chen Lihua got up as well as she followed her mother into her walk-in closet here, she saw a beautiful mint green chiffon gown sitting on a mannequin.


    Lady Chen told her to wear the dress and come to her room to apply makeup.


    Chen Lihua nodded and Lady Chen left.


    Chen Lihua touched the dress with a smile on her face.


    She felt that her mother was still the best because she was always looking after her.


    So Chen Lihua dressed up quickly. She picked a black stiletto among her shoes and strapped it on her legs.


    Now ready, she left with a black pouch ???? in her hand after transferring her things from her other bag to this current one.


    Lady Chen wore a formal gown. And as she was about applying red lipstick ????, Chen Lihua came in and asked her to wait.


    Then she opened her box of Indian Sweets and asked her to take some. Then she went ahead to explain happily, how she got them.


    Lady Chen smiled knowing fully well that her daughter liked Indian sweets so much because she often talked about it.


    Then she proceeded to pick a piece and put in her mouth to taste. Lady Chen immediately liked it and proceeded to eat more.


    If Chen Lihua didn''t stop her by saying, "Don''t finish it, I promised Longwei that I would leave some for him", she would have eaten all.


    Lady Chen sighed regretfully as she couldn''t eat more, and so wondered if there was still time to take her daughter back and keep her for herself because right now, her daughter was thinking about her husband, something that never happened before she got married.


    Chen Lihua put away the box and joined her mother in putting on a simple makeup.


    Just as Chen Lihua and her mother stepped into the lively living room, they could spot a new couple and two male a.d.u.l.ts.


    The duo recognized them immediately because the woman who had a slight resemblance to Lady Chen was her elder sister Bingbing.


    You could see smiles everywhere as they all chatted away happily.


    After greeting and asking about their flight, the whole family prepared to leave for the Liu residence as time was no longer on their side.


    Everyone got into their vehicles with their families and travelled with Lady Chen''s bodyguards who were in three different cars.


    When people saw those numbers of cars on the road and close to each other, it appeared like it was a convoy ????????????????????.


    As they drove into the Liu residence, they were immediately welcomed by Liu Longwei''s parents and siblings, including Liu Longwei himself.


    They Liu''s did this to show respect to their new daughter-in-law and her family.


    Now, they were all being ushered into an appropriate banquet hall in the building, where other members of the Liu family were waiting.


    Immediately they came into the decorated hall, the Liu relatives stood with a smile on their faces as they welcomed them with open arms.


    Next up, they all sat around a very big round table before they introduced themselves, starting from the Chen family.


    Immediately after that, Chen Lihua was formally introduced to everyone there.


    A lot of activities went on joyfully before the foods were served.

 Chapter 166 - I will be faster if I carry you.

    Next up, they all sat around a very big round table before they introduced themselves, starting from the Chen family.


    Immediately after that, Chen Lihua was formally introduced to everyone there.


    A lot of activities went on joyfully before the foods were served.


    The dishes on the table showed how much effort the Liu Family put towards this occasion.


    Even the hall was well and beautifully decorated, as a ceremony was going on.


    Towards the end of the meeting, all the elders and relatives of both families gave Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei red packets.


    The red envelopes were very thick.


    As this was a little gathering of the rich, so the envelopes were definitely thick.


    Chen Lihua kept looking at the red packets in her hands and was almost blinded by the red color. Her hands were so full that she didn''t have any free hand left to collect more red packets.


    So Madam Liu brought a fancy bag and helped her put the red packets in her hands into it. So now, her hands were now free to collect more red packets.


    When she got to Chen Lin''s side, both of them still kept a smile on their faces as if they didn''t have a while ago.


    Aunt Lin dropped a thick envelope as well.


    This woman can never let anything bring her down. She had her own business, a clothing line and still worked in the Liu cooperation. So she has money, and of course, will not be stingy in giving it out when necessary.


    Even though she isn''t married, she has a daughter, and that might be the only thing that had threatened her reputation. But she didn''t let that get to her.


    Liu Longwei as the Boss he is just sat down and watched everyone converse.


    At the end of the meeting, they prayed for the couple and dispersed happily.


    Lady Chen didn''t leave before giving out the fresh fruits that were harvested just before they came to the Old Lady Liu, while especially telling her to take good care of her health.


    The Liu family sent the Chen family off.


    Old Madam Liu asked Liu Longwei to spend the night at home, but he declined, saying that he wanted to have alone time with his wife, causing them to misunderstand.


    And I think Chen Lihua was the only one whose mind didn''t deviate from his actual meaning because she still had her signature smile on, instead of a shy smile on her face.


    In the car, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei finished the Indian sweets, and that caused Chen Lihua''s stomach to become so full that she became uncomfortable.


    Liu Longwei noticed the change in her because her face could tell it all, and so he asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Chen Lihua answered as fast as possible, "My stomach is so full, and now, it''s hurting".


    "You shouldn''t have forced yourself to finish the sweets after having dinner already". Liu Longwei said as he tried rubbing her stomach, but he doubted if she could feel any impact because of the dress, obstructing his touch.


    "I felt that the sweets have stayed too long and will spoil soon, so I had to finish it so I won''t regret it when it spoils". Chen Lihua said.


    "Let''s go to the hospital for a check-up and a prescription".


    Liu Longwei sighed and wondered if she was still a little girl that couldn''t let her favorite snacks go to waste. But this showed that Chen Lihua indeed liked the Indian Sweets very much.


    "I am a doctor, or can''t you see it? There''s no need to go to the hospital for something as simple as this. What do you take me for? An acting robot? Let''s go home straight, I have some medicines in my First Aid box". Chen Lihua said as beads of sweats could now be seen forming on her forehead.


    Liu Longwei used his white handkerchief to wipe them off as his heart began to ache for her because he remembered that she said she was afraid of pain.


    Without needing to instruct the driver, he sped up the car.


    Back home, as Chen Lihua got off the car, she placed her hand on her abdomen and tried to walk straight. But was suddenly carried in a bridal style by Liu Longwei.


    "Put me down I can walk by myself". Chen Lihua said, struggling to come down.


    "It will be faster if I carry you". Liu Longwei said as he carried her into the house.


    Placing her on her bed, he helped her open the First Aid box and brought the drugs ???? out according to Chen Lihua''s description.


    Bringing out two different drugs, Liu Longwei popped out a pill from one pack and two from the other pack and asked, "What are these drugs for?"


    "One of the two pills is a pain relief drug, while the one pill is a sleeping drug". Chen Lihua answered as she took the glass of water from the maid and the drugs from Liu Longwei.


    Then she proceeded to swallow the drug with water, one at a time.


    Liu Longwei watched her speechlessly but waited till she finished taking all the drugs before asking, "Why don''t you take the pills at once, or two at a time".


    Chen Lihua told the maid to get a small packet of chocolate from her drawer before answering Liu Longwei.


    "Am afraid that if the drugs should touch my throat, I will throw up immediately because of the bitter taste because it has happened before".


    Chen Lihua took a bite of chocolate ???? to smoothen the bitter taste on her tongue before giving the rest to the maid to eat.


    The maid thanked her. Then she arranged the First Aid box and put it away before leaving with the chocolate and empty glass cup.


    Because of Chen Lihua''s condition, Liu Longwei insisted on spending the night with her.


    So as Chen Lihua went to have her bath, Liu Longwei went back to his room to have a bath as well and came back after that.


    Chen Lihua wore pajamas after her bath. And when she came into the room, she filled it with her Vanilla shower gel.


    As the sleeping pill began to take effect, Chen Lihua laid on the bed with Liu Longwei and dozed off.


    But you could still see a reasonable gap between them on the bed.

 Chapter 167 - Painful Period Cramps.

    Chen Lihua wore pajamas after her bath. And when she came into the room, she filled it with her Vanilla shower gel.


    As the sleeping pill began to take effect, Chen Lihua laid on the bed with Liu Longwei and dozed off.


    But you could still see a reasonable gap between them on the bed.


    Five minutes later, Liu Longwei got up from the bed and checked on Chen Lihua who was already sleeping, only to see her lying on her stomach with a pillow overhead, totally covering her head.


    Only then did Liu Longwei remember that she couldn''t sleep well with the lights on.


    It amazed him that Chen Lihua still remembered to cover her face even when she was well into her sleep


    Liu Longwei removed the pillow from her face and saw Chen Lihua without a frown on her face and knew that the drug she took has already taken effect.


    Liu Longwei switched off the lights. He removed Chen Lihua''s hand that was under her b.r.e.a.s.t (Chen Lihua used her hand to wedge her b.r.e.a.s.t because of pain) before making her lie on her side.


    Next, he hugged her waist and covered her with the duvet before closing his eyes to sleep.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua woke up feeling better and normal.


    The moment she opened her eyes, she met a handsome face staring at her with a smile.


    Chen Lihua closed her eyes and opened them again. Seeing that the face was real, she greeted him with a smile, "Good Morning".


    "Good Morning, how are you feeling?" Liu Longwei asked as he stared at her.


    "Am all good now". Chen Lihua replied with a smile as she tried getting off his embrace.


    "Since you are feeling ''all good'' now, let''s play". Liu Longwei said and immediately sat on her with half of his weight.


    "What are you doing?" Chen Lihua asked with a look of shock on her face.


    "Am trying to play with you. I know you are too lazy to exercise this morning, so I thought of another way to let you sweat out without stress, and it''s this way". Liu Longwei said with a smug ???? smile before he started to tickle her waist.


    As Chen Lihua''s waist was one of her sensitive spots, she started wriggling her body immediately Liu Longwei started to tickle her.


    She laughed out loud, revealing her dimples at the same time.


    "Longwei stopppppp". ????????


    Chen Lihua continued laughing as she tried to struggle out of his hold.


    Liu Longwei enjoyed what he was doing, so he continued to tickle her.


    He stopped only when he saw tears streaming down her eyes.


    He got off her and laid beside her with one hand propped up to support his head.


    He had a warm smile on his face as he looked at his smiling wife.


    Enchanted by her beautiful smiling ?? face, he pulled her into his embrace and captured her lips with his lips.


    As he kissed her, he put his hand into her blouse and caressed her waist as he felt that it''s been a while since he has been this close with her.


    Chen Lihua''s smile was wiped off her face as she questioned herself.


    ''When did a simple play turn out to be an act of seduction?''


    Seeing her look at him with her eyes wide open, Liu Longwei released her lips.


    Then with a smile that said he was enjoying himself, he said to her, "You need to stop staring at me like that and close your eyes. How will you enjoy the kiss if you keep staring at me this way?"


    Chen Lihua wanted to ask, ''Who wants to enjoy a kiss with you?'' But she wasn''t given an opportunity to say her thoughts out loud before her lips were again captured by the man lying beside her.


    This time around, Liu Longwei didn''t just smooch her lips, he gave her a never forgetting deep kiss ????????.


    Then as he kissed her, he hand moved from her waist till it caught one of her b.r.e.a.s.ts before squeezing it gently.


    Chen Lihua hissed in pain ????????, in between the kiss as she opened her eyes.


    Liu Longwei had to pause. He let go of her b.r.e.a.s.t and lips and asked with a look of worry on his face.


    "What''s wrong, did I squeeze it too much?"


    "No, you didn''t. It''s just that my chest is a little sore at the moment, even a slight touch seems painful". Chen Lihua answered as they both remained in their position.


    "Is it the drugs side effect?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "No. I think I know the cause". Chen Lihua said as she moved her face away from his. ????????


    "What''s the cause? Tell me". Liu Longwei questioned immediately and continued pestering her till she gave a reply.


    Chen Lihua answered embarrassingly, "I think my Period is about to come".


    Liu Longwei didn''t understand what she meant, and so looked at her confused.


    So she had no choice but to explain it was her monthly period. As her monthly period was about to start that explains why her b.r.e.a.s.t was sore.


    With this explanation, Liu Longwei finally understood, and there was an awkward ???? but not an embarrassed ???? look on his face.


    So he sat up on her bed and said, "Then I will stop here. Take a good rest. Have your shower and come down for breakfast. We are having western for breakfast".


    That was the last sentence Liu Longwei said before he disappeared from her room.


    Chen Lihua found his disappearance unbelievable and wondered if he was embarrassed or shy.


    After having breakfast, they each went to work.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua woke with immense pain in her abdomen.


    She was in so much pain that tears were already rolling down her cheeks ????. At this point, she felt that death was already knocking on her door.


    The worst part of it was that she could not even call for help due to the terrible pain she was in.


    Liu Longwei who came into her room at the appointed time was her saving grace.


    Liu Longwei came to call his lazy wife up for a morning exercise as he was already dressed in his tracksuit, only for him to meet his wife in a miserable condition.


    As he walked into her room, he went straight to her bed, only to be met with Chen Lihua''s back to him.


    He saw her moving around her body a little and wondered what she was doing.


    He smiled to himself as he thought to pull a prank on her. But then, his eyes were met with a large bloodstain on her frost white nightgown and on her white bedsheets.


    His eyes widened in shock as he panicked. His heart beats doubled as he immediately rushed to her bed.

 Chapter 168 - Liu Longwei takes care of Chen Lihua on her first red day.

    He saw her moving around her body a little and wondered what she was doing.


    He smiled to himself as he thought to pull a prank on her. But then, his eyes were met with a large bloodstain on her frost white nightgown and on her white bedsheets.


    His eyes widened in shock as he panicked, then he switched the room lights on. His heart beats doubled as he immediately rushed to her bed.


    He called out, "Lihua what''s wrong?"


    He turned Chen Lihua over. He did that gently as he was even afraid to cause more harm than good to her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at him with her teary eyes and then grasped his hand saying, "Thank God you are here. My stomach hurts so much. Get me Naproxen from the first aid box and give me two pills from it".


    Liu Longwei did as she said popped out two pills unto his hands. Coincidentally, there was a bottle of water on the little round table in Chen Lihua''s room, so Liu Longwei didn''t need to go downstairs for water.


    As Chen Lihua had already drunk from the bottle the night before, the water in the bottle was halved.


    Liu Longwei held the pills ???? and water in one hand and used his other free hand to help Chen Lihua up, before leaning her into his embrace while kneeling on the bed.


    "Lihua take your drugs immediately". Liu Longwei said as he handed the pills over to her.


    Chen Lihua took her drugs immediately before laying back on the bed.


    "Lihua you are bleeding". Liu Longwei said at last.


    "What?!" ????????. Chen Lihua exclaimed, suddenly forgetting about the pain as she widened her eyes in shock.


    She almost sat up if not for the pain and cramps she was experiencing.


    "Oh My God! Please pass my phone to me". Chen Lihua said with a look of horror on her face. Then she murmured, "Let it not be what I am thinking".


    Liu Longwei passed her phone to her and asked in confusion ????????, "What happened?"


    Chen Lihua unlocked her phone and went straight to open the app ''My Tracker'' on her phone.


    She proceeded to put in four-digit numbers before the features of the app showed.


    Then, she proceeded to check her period starting date and discovered that her period was to come the next day according to the app. But unfortunately, it came today.


    Chen Lihua was so angry ???????? and embarrassed even with the pain she was experiencing.


    She closed the app and threw her phone in the bed, totally forgetting to record her new period date.


    Now she was embarrassed ???????? and didn''t know how to face Liu Longwei. But she had to tell him because he asked a question that required an answer.


    So she gritted her teeth and said, "My Period came a day earlier. I am sorry you had to see me in this embarrassing state".


    Liu Longwei nodded with a straight face ???????? and said, not minding her condition at all.


    "There''s nothing to be sorry about, it''s not like you chose to be in this state. I am your husband, and there''s no need to be wary of me no matter the condition you may be in, I am always here to help you".


    Chen Lihua was touched that he wasn''t disgusted, and so she smiled genuinely, ????????"Thank you".


    Chen Lihua felt the pain and cramps lessen a great deal.


    The drug ''Naproxen'' which Chen Lihua just took is the most effective pain relief drug produced without any prescription.


    Ibuprofen is next in line after it, but this one has a prescription.


    The reason Chen Lihua who was knowledgeable took this drug that didn''t have any prescription, was because she wanted the fastest effect.


    Now that the pain had subsided a little, Chen Lihua tried standing up from the bed, but she felt a warm liquid flow down her laps below her lower waist.


    She stiffened immediately and was now afraid to move.


    She could feel the heavy flow of the blood, and then she knew she had stained another spot on the bed.


    Liu Longwei saw the look on her face and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Chen Lihua quickly put on a smile ???? and said, "Nothing. Can I ask you for a favor?"


    "Yes, anything". Liu Longwei answered seriously.


    Chen Lihua smiled.


    A few minutes later, Chen Lihua was dressed in her white bathrobe and trying to cover her bed with a new bedspread while her stained bedsheets were now neatly folded on the floor, completely hiding the red bloodstains.


    Liu Longwei came out from her bathroom and said to her as he approached her, "Leave this for me, go and have your bath, your water is ready at the slightly hot temperature (a little above warm)".


    Chen Lihua left the bed for him to dress. Then she smiled with gratitude and pecked his cheek, saying ''Thank you'', before walking away.


    Liu Longwei smiled in satisfaction before dressing her bed and calling a maid to get rid of the stains on the bedsheets (I.e. for the maid to wash the bedsheets).


    Liu Longwei left for his own room to have his own shower while asking himself, ''So this is how this morning went by without any exercise?''


    He touched his abs that were still firm before he shook his head and said, ''This woman will be the death of me''.


    Liu Longwei thought that now Chen Lihua was on her period, she wouldn''t agree to exercise because she already had her excuses at the tip of her tongues, and just waiting for him to ask so that she could say it.


    Liu Longwei had his shower after coming to a conclusion to exercise alone.


    It wouldn''t be his fault if she ever gets tired, weak, and worn out easily when they start their bed exercises (S.e.x).


    At the breakfast table, Chen Lihua was dressed in casual clothes as she enjoyed her western breakfast.


    The reason is that she had already taken a month''s leave from the hospital yesterday after work to prepare for her two weddings and honeymoon because of Liu Longwei''s instructions, so she didn''t need to go to the hospital today. But Liu Longwei still had work today, so he was all dressed up in his never forgotten black suit and white shirt.

 Chapter 169 - Mysterious Woman.

    At the breakfast table, Chen Lihua was dressed in casual clothes as she enjoyed her western breakfast.


    The reason is that she had already taken a month''s leave from the hospital yesterday after work to prepare for her two weddings and honeymoon because of Liu Longwei''s instructions, so she didn''t need to go to the hospital today. But Liu Longwei still had work today, so he was all dressed up in his never forgotten black suit and white shirt.


    Chen Lihua pouted her lips and complained, "Why do you still need to go to work while I have to stay at home?"


    "I have to tidy up some things at work today. I also have to go to the office two times a week. In any case, you are the bride, and so you have to look more beautiful and energetic on your wedding day, so rest, shop, eat well, exercise, and do what you want without stress". Liu Longwei said.


    "You are the groom, don''t you need to rest so you would look more handsome on our wedding day?" Chen Lihua teased.


    Liu Longwei smiled, "You don''t need to bother about me, you are more important. I will always try to accompany you when I have the time, so eat up. Our wedding rings will arrive tomorrow".


    "Ok. I don''t know how I will survive today because I will be very bored, and I can''t even run around because of my situation". Chen Lihua sighed bitterly.


    "You could follow me to work and at the same time, familiarize yourself with the Liu cooperation''s environment".


    "No, I am not interested". Chen Lihua refused immediately.


    "As you wish". Liu Longwei nodded before asking a question very important to him at the moment.


    "Do you always have a painful period?"


    Chen Lihua blanked out for a while as she stared at the man who was looking at her with a serious and concerned expression on his face ????????.


    Her face reddened immediately as she lowered her head before raising it after getting the courage to answer him.


    "Not actually. I was in pain today because I ate a lot of sugary and sweetened food close to my period date. I was carried away, so I didn''t remember about it, and so paid the price".


    "Oh. Then you have to be careful and mindful of your health". Liu Longwei cautioned her out of concern.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she assured him, "I am always careful, this is like a once in a blue moon mistake. Don''t worry, I am all good".


    Liu Longwei stood up as he picked up his suit jacket to wear.


    "I will try to come back early. But while I am away, you could still go out to have fun, maybe ask the driver to drive you around to wherever you have in mind, but make sure to go out with the bodyguards". Liu Longwei said seriously, not taking her safety for a joke.


    "Mmmm go ahead". Chen Lihua smiled.


    Liu Longwei nodded in satisfaction once he got her assurance before he walked out.


    After having her breakfast, Chen Lihua entered the study immediately to work, but she didn''t have any motivation to work, so she walked around inside the study, going through the things there.


    But she didn''t open anything or touch anything she wasn''t supposed to touch.


    After walking around and looking through things for a while, Chen Lihua became tired and gave up.


    She walked back to her room and sat on the Sofa. She became restless as she wasn''t used to not being busy, so she called her mother to see if they could chat.


    But unfortunately, Lady Chen was in her company and was currently busy at the moment, so she told her to go to places she was interested in.


    Chen Lihua sighed in disappointment as she felt that she was the only odd person out as everyone was busy with work, while she just had to sit at home with nothing to do.


    Several minutes later, Chen Lihua was all dressed up.


    She wore a long plain white gown which had an elastic band on the waist, and the gown was free on her body, the gown had small flowers embroidered on it with different colors of threads. A simple flat brown sandal was fastened to her feet.


    A sled brown bag was???? hanging on her shoulders with her designer''s sunglasses ???? over her eyes.


    The only jewelry on her was her engagement ring ????, a pair of gold full stop earrings and a gold thin chain ???? around her neck.


    As for makeup, there was nothing like that on her face apart from the transparent lip gloss her lips.


    Chen Lihua was a beautiful woman, to begin with, so she doesn''t need to apply makeup on her face if she doesn''t want to.


    The only thing she rubbed on her face was her face moisturizer.


    Chen Lihua wasn''t even scared that her white gown may stain as she was on her period because she has already padded herself properly.


    Looking so simple, she went out of the house.


    She left the house in her Audi and a driver, with another car, following behind hers.


    On this day, Chen Lihua decided to go to a clothing mall ???? instead of the Chen Mall.


    She went into the mall with two Bodyguards following after her.


    She didn''t mean to show off because she knew she would definitely shop her heart out today, and she would need help with carrying so many bags.


    Since Chen Lihua already knew that she wouldn''t step foot inside the hospital till they come back from their honeymoon, she would at least shop for some simple dresses she could wear at home.


    So she picked different styles of gowns, skirts, blouses, shorts, and trousers she felt comfortable in.


    She bought some casual clothes for Liu Longwei as well since she rarely saw him in any, so she felt that he didn''t have much because he was always busy with work and rarely stayed at home.


    Next, she went to a jewelry store.


    She saw some chain necklaces that were suitable for men. They piqued her interest and so walked over to the shelf to take a good look.


    She picked the simplest one out of them all because she knew Liu Longwei wouldn''t wear something that wasn''t simply looking on his neck since he didn''t own and wear any jewelry on his neck.


    Coincidentally, that gold Chain necklace she chose was the most expensive one there because it had a small diamond ???? on it.


    Her eyes then caught an Emerald green jewelry that came in a set.


    It was displayed on the showcase, and it was eye-catching.


    As she asked if she could see the jewelry, it was brought out for her to see.


    But just as her fingers touched the necklace, a pair of fingers touched hers. Then she heard a feminine voice say, "Wow these jewels are beautiful, wrap it up for me".


    Chen Lihua was a bit angry, and so raised her head to look at the woman trying to snatch the jewelry she was admiring.


    She saw a woman who she was almost a head taller than standing close to her in a short beautiful gown with jewelry on her.

 Chapter 170 - Zie Yu.

    But just as her fingers touched the necklace, a pair of fingers touched hers. Then she heard a feminine voice say, "Wow this Jewellery is beautiful, wrap it up for me".


    Chen Lihua was a bit angry, and so raised her head to look at the woman trying to snatch the jewelry she was admiring.


    She saw a woman who she was almost a head taller than standing close to her in a short beautiful gown with jewelry on her.


    It was as if no one would know her worth if she didn''t dress up extravagantly.


    Another Lady was standing outside her as well, both had their bags with them and two shopping bags.


    The shop attendant just stood there and watched on. Although the Lady didn''t know Chen Lihua''s identity, she still knew that her identity was not to be trifled with because she came into their shop with two bodyguards.


    So that was why, even if she knew who the other Lady was since they frequent their shop, she didn''t dare to take the wrong step.


    Chen Lihua just stared at the Lady and the one beside her without saying anything before moving her gaze back to the necklace.


    Chen Lihua touched the jewelry before saying to the female shop attendant, "My mother will like it. I will take it".


    The smile on the Lady''s face froze on???? seeing that Chen Lihua ignored her.


    But she didn''t give up easily, so she tapped Chen Lihua''s arm with her fingers twice.


    Chen Lihua turned immediately and removed the sunglasses ???? that had been over her eyes for a while, and gazed at the young woman with a look of annoyance.


    The woman and her friend gaped ???????? at Chen Lihua with a look of shock on their faces.


    "Miss Chen?" The woman called out with a look of uncertainty.


    "Yes, how may I be of help to you?" Chen Lihua answered not finding the current situation funny ????.


    The shop attendant was shocked ???? when Chen Lihua admitted to her identity and began to thank her stars that she didn''t offend her.


    So she hurried up to package the necklace Chen Lihua ordered for.


    "So it''s Miss Chen". The woman said with a smug ???? look on her face.


    Chen Lihua rubbed her temples with her left hand, unknowingly showing off her expensive wristwatch (The Rolex GMT Master II Ice), and Engagement Ring ???? (The Graff Pink Diamond Ring), and asked herself ''where did this woman come from?''


    But Chen Lihua didn''t have the time for nonsense as she was already getting impatient. That stupid look on that unidentified Lady''s face was already pissing her off, so she just walked off to another shelf to continue looking around.


    But that Lady wouldn''t let her off after she saw the dazzling diamond ???? ring ???? that was now the talk of the country, so she chased after Chen Lihua with her friend following behind her.


    Jealousy filled her eyes ???? as she said, "Miss Chen I am Zie Yu and am Longwei''s ex-girlfriend. How is he doing?"


    Chen Lihua''s footsteps came to a halt as her eyes fell on Zie Yu, the woman who had a smug look on her face after getting her attention.


    "Since you know my husband, then I think you shouldn''t acquire his wellbeing from me, you could just directly call him on phone, and that would make things a lot easier for you, or don''t you think so?" Chen Lihua asked as she looked at Zie Yu, looking at her as if she was stupid for saying all that.


    Zie Yu smiled and said shamelessly, "I would have done that, it''s just that I didn''t want you to misunderstand our relationship".


    "You just said that you are Longwei''s ex-girlfriend, so what''s there to misunderstand about your relationship with my ''Husband'' you can just go ahead and call him when you want, I don''t have a problem with that, and yes, I am that open-minded". Chen Lihua answered before walking off.


    Zie Yu felt so furious that she couldn''t bother to hide that look on her face. She felt that she just punched a cotton candy.


    Her friend pulled her hand and complained angrily. "Yu Yu who does that Miss Chen think she is, how dare she talk to you like that?"


    "Zu Mei, you have to mind your behavior. And don''t bother about her, I will get back at her soon, and I will make sure to annoy her to death". Zie Yu answered with a challenge smile ????.


    Chen Lihua was already annoyed, and so she couldn''t continue shopping, so she turned around and followed another passage to avoid bumping into those ladies who pissed her off. The shop attendant handed the shop bags that had their store''s Logo to Chen Lihua, and Chen Lihua paid for all the jewelry she picked in their store.


    "Miss Chen, don''t you think you are a little too much?" Zu Mei asked.


    Only God knows when those two appeared, and why they were still pestering Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua didn''t say a word in reply, she just allowed the bodyguards to take the bags from her, before walking out of the store with them behind her.


    "Miss Chen, who do you think you are to snub me?" Zu Mei asked angrily with Zie Yu beside her.


    Chen Lihua stopped and looked back at them and said each word slowly so that they would be able to grasp her words.


    So Chen Lihua stood with the two bodyguards standing by her two sides.


    She looked at Zu Mei up and down before saying each word slowly and seriously, "You are not qualified to question me".


    Chen Lihua answered and put her sunglasses on before finally walking out with her bodyguards trailing after her, completely leaving behind two pairs of angry ???? eyes.


    Zu Mei shrieked in anger as she couldn''t believe that she a young Miss of the Zu family, would have a day where she would be insulted like this.


    Everyone in the store looked at her as she succeeded in drawing attention to herself.


    Zie Yu herself didn''t find the situation funny because her face was so well twisted in anger.


    Then Zu Mei''s shout caused a nerve to snap in her head, and so she started at her friend and gritted her teeth ???? that were about to shatter and said, "Shut up!".

 Chapter 171 - Wasted Sympathy.

    Everyone in the store looked at her as she succeeded in drawing attention to herself.


    Zie Yu herself didn''t find the situation funny because her face was so well twisted in anger.


    Then Zu Mei''s shout caused a nerve to snap in her head, and so she started at her friend and gritted her teeth ???? that were about to shatter and said, "Shut up!"


    As the teary-eyed Zu Mei looked at Zie Yu, tears rolled down her face ????.


    "I can''t believe you are crying. Are you trying to embarrass me? You had better keep your emotions in check, after all, you asked for it". Zie Yu said and walked out of the store in anger ????.


    A few seconds later, Zu Mei followed after her while wiping her tears away.


    If only Chen Lihua knew that her little words made one of the lady''s cry, she would have been smiling now. But unfortunately, Chen Lihua has already activated her anger mode.


    As she was on her period, her emotions will keep fluctuating.


    She wondered how foolish and brainless those ladies were for them to talk to her that way.


    ''Maybe they thought I was an easy target, so they approached me foolishly''.


    Chen Lihua was really infuriated with their manner of approach.


    She sighed and told the driver to take her to the Chen Company., then she called her mother on the phone, telling her to send her assistant downstairs.


    Lady Chen asked why she didn''t want to come up, and Chen Lihua replied, "Have you ever seen me in your company before? I only came to give you a present ????, that''s why am here".


    "I understand, you are too lazy to deal with the mouths that would be running in the company once they see you. No problem, I will send my assistant over". Lady Chen answered.


    30 minutes later, Chen Lihua''s Audi packed in front of a tall building????, and a not too tall young man who was slightly older than Liu Longwei walked to her car.


    He seemed to have been standing there, but not for quite long.


    Chen Lihua rolled down her side window completely and passed a shopping bag to him.


    Taking that opportunity, the assistant peeped into the car and saw so many shopping bags beside her.


    "Has my mother had her Lunch yet?" Chen Lihua asked as she passed the bag to him.


    Lady Chen''s assistant greeted her and took the bag from her answering, "Not yet, she''s still very busy at the moment".


    "What is she busy with?" Chen Lihua asked.


    The assistant smiled and answered politely, "She''s looking through some doc.u.ments from some production companies who want to market, display and sale their products in Chen''s Mall".


    "Ok, tell her I am waiting for her". Chen Lihua said and rolled her car''s window up immediately, leaving the confused assistant as he watched her car drive away before going back inside the building.


    In the car, Chen Lihua called Lady Chen and asked her to have lunch with her in the restaurant nearest to her company building.


    Lady Chen flipped through the doc.u.ment in front of her and sighed before agreeing to her daughter.


    She was very busy at the moment but had to give in to Chen Lihua as it was the first time her daughter was asking her out for lunch.


    Just as she dropped her phone, her assistant knocked and came in.


    He dropped the shopping bag on her table and relayed the message from Chen Lihua.


    Lady Chen smiled and stood up from her swivel chair. Her eyes glanced at the shopping bag, but without the time to check the gift out, she picked her bag and phone and left her office with her assistant.


    Chen Lihua, on the other hand, felt that her mother was quite pitiful and lonely, with no one to care and look after her, so that''s why she asked her out for lunch even though she was not in the right mood.


    In a small Villa somewhere in B city, an almost middle-aged woman who still had her looks and body maintained properly had a phone placed on her ear while sitting on the dining chair as servants placed foods on her table.


    "Why are you scared of her?" She asked as she patted her hair.


    The person said something, and she replied without care, "Just notify me when you are ready and in need of my help. Bye".


    The woman ended the call with all smiles ????. As the chef placed a plate of steak in front of her, she picked up her cutlery ????, cut a piece of steak before sending it into her mouth ????.


    As she savored the taste of steak in her mouth ????, she closed her eyes ???? with a smile ???? on her face and a hmm escaped from her lips ????.


    She took a sip from the red wine ???? from her wine glass????before looking to the chef who was standing beside her.


    "Am in a good mood, so prepare another plate of steak".


    The chef left to do as she asked, and she turned to a maid who was still arranging the dishes on the table. "Pass me the vegetable salad".


    In a private room of a classy restaurant, Chen Lihua ordered Chinese food for two while waiting for her mother.


    Just then, Lady Chen came in, in her white suit and trouser, then a green handbag and green heels.


    As she sat down, she parted her blood-red painted lips to ask Chen Lihua, "Have you ordered the dishes?"


    Chen Lihua stared at her answered without a smile, "Yes, the food will be served soon".


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Lady Chen said, keeping her bag beside her.


    "Looking at how elegant and gorgeous you look, your young body and face without wrinkles. I''m just angry I wasted my sympathy on you". Chen Lihua answered with her palm on her jaw.


    Lady Chen scoffed, "Are you waiting for me to look old and haggard before you display the affection you have for me?"

 Chapter 172 - Mother and daughter have lunch together.

    "Looking at how elegant and gorgeous you look - your young body and face without wrinkles. I''m just angry I wasted my sympathy on you". Chen Lihua answered with her palm on her jaw.


    Lady Chen scoffed, "Are you waiting for me to look old and haggard before you display the affection you have for me?"


    "Not really. For a moment, I forgot that you are a strong woman. But anyway, it''s not bad to show you love once in a while." Chen Lihua said.


    Three waiters came in to serve the dishes in a tray. After serving them, they bowed and left.


    Putting food into her mouth, Lady Chen looked at Chen Lihua and asked, "Why is your attitude bad today? Even your countenance is something else. Are you annoyed?"


    Chen Lihua swallowed the food in her mouth before answering, "I am on my Period".


    "Oh! Mine will be coming in two days'' time". Lady Chen answered nonchalantly.


    "Mum!" Chen Lihua said with an angry face. "Did I ask you?"


    "What''s wrong with that?" Lady Chen asked, confused at the sudden outburst.


    Chen Lihua''s chest heaved up and down. And after calming down a little, she answered the woman who had already stopped eating and staring at her.


    "Forget it, just eat your food. I want to go home and change before I embarrass myself for the second time today".


    Lady Chen dropped her fork as amus.e.m.e.nt was written all over her face.


    So with her smile and unveiled dimples, she asked, "Tell me, which embarrassment did you encounter on your red day?"


    You need to see the way Chen Lihua''s eyes ????were currently staring daggers ????? at her mother.


    Then she made a motion of standing up. "I will pay for the meal on my way out, so enjoy your lunch mother".


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was on her feet, Lady Chen said with her widened eyeballs due to surprise.


    "Where are you going? Fine, I won''t ask you anymore since you are in a bad mood, but you will have to tell me later. So sit and eat with me".


    Chen Lihua sighed before sitting. And so, that''s how their lunch went on peacefully without any talks as Lady Chen was afraid of angering her daughter.


    After the meal and outside the restaurant, Lady Chen asked, "When will you come to the house?"


    Chen Lihua is supposed to be at the Chen Residence since she has only a few days before her traditional Chinese Wedding.


    "I don''t know. I will ask Longwei. What about our relatives, are they still in the Chen residence?" Chen Lihua asked worriedly.


    Lady Chen smiled and touched Chen Lihua''s hair. "No, they have their own houses. They only spent a night there and left the following morning. Why do you ask? Are you scared of seeing and interacting with them?"


    Chen Lihua laughed softly as she gently patted her mother''s shoulder, "Mom, you really know your daughter well. I just find it awkward to interact with people I am not close to. And you know, I don''t know how to hide my annoyance, so I am worried I will do something wrong and be tagged ''Arrogant''."


    Lady Chen smiled saying, "No problem. Thank you for the gift even though I haven''t had the opportunity to see its content".


    Chen Lihua smiled as well, "You are welcome".


    "Take care of yourself, and I will be expecting you at home soon". Lady Chen said as she entered her Jeep.


    Just before the car door closed, Chen Lihua smiled saying, "Don''t worry, I will call you after I must have spoken with Longwei. Goodbye and have a nice day".


    Without the mother and daughter duo''s knowledge, a black low key car has been parked on the other side of the road, and the person there had been looking at them for a while now.


    Chen Lihua got into her own car and left.


    Back at the Liu residence, Chen Lihua entered the house with servants carrying many shopping bags ????? behind her.


    "Madam, do you want to have lunch now?" The middle-aged Aunty asked.


    Chen Lihua just glanced at her before making her way upstairs with the servants carrying her bags.


    Then she said, continuing in her steps, "Am not hungry".


    In her room, Chen Lihua left the maids to arrange the bags in one corner of her room and went into the bathroom immediately.


    She could feel that if she delayed in changing her sanitary pad even for a minute, she would be dripping blood.


    After having her bath, Chen Lihua changed into a comfortable flowered printed gown that was a little bit above her knees.


    Then she started sorting the new clothes she bought. She packed the clothes to one side, and the shoes and jewellery to another.


    She first kept hers away (Shoes and jewellery) before bringing Liu Longwei''s to his room.


    She didn''t even bother to keep them inside his walk-in closet, she just dropped them neatly beside his bed but kept the little box containing the chain necklace on his bed.


    Back in her room, Chen Lihua put all the new clothes she bought into the laundry basket with the white dress she just removed before carrying it downstairs.


    As for her undies, she washed them personally, and she always does so. None of the servants has ever washed her undies before.


    The maids were shocked to see their Madam carrying the laundry basket filled with clothes all by herself, so they rushed over to help her carry it into the laundry room.


    So Chen Lihua allowed them but followed behind them all the way to the laundry room.


    Seeing their Mistress inside the laundry room with them, they became scared and asked her to go out, that they would take care of the clothes since she had nothing to do at the moment.


    But Chen Lihua told them not to worry, that she would take care of the clothes herself.


    The servants didn''t know what to do because their Mistress was doing their job, something they were being paid to do.


    So they just listened to her, but dare not go out.


    Everyone could see that the laundry room was well furnished with the right equipment.


    So Chen Lihua immediately got busy with washing, using the washing machine.

 Chapter 173 - Mood Swings.

    The servants didn''t know what to do because their Mistress was doing their job, something they were being paid to do.


    So they just listened to her, but dare not go out.


    Everyone could see that the laundry room was well furnished with the right equipment.


    So Chen Lihua immediately got busy with washing, using the washing machine.


    An hour later, Liu Longwei came back home. He went upstairs to have a shower and a change of clothes. After that, he went into Chen Lihua''s room to check up on her but didn''t see her shadow.


    So he went downstairs to ask about his wife, only to be told that she was in the laundry room.


    He had a twisted expression and asked, "What is she doing there?"


    "I don''t know, she''s been there for about an hour".


    When the housekeeper saw the deadpan expression of her master, she began to shiver and hurriedly added.


    "Two maids accompanied her there".


    The housekeeper knew what would befall her if she didn''t give a reasonable explanation.


    Imagine a servant not checking up or knowing what her mistress was doing in the laundry room after not haven seen her for over an hour.


    Liu Longwei was able to relax at the second response, knowing that Chen Lihua was not alone.


    But then he looked at the gold wristwatch on his wrist before asking the housekeeper again. "Has she had her lunch yet?"


    The housekeeper looked uneasy as she answered, "No Sir, Madam said she wasn''t hungry".


    ''What does she mean she isn''t hungry? Does she know the time?'' Liu Longwei murmured as he dropped his suit jacket and work bag on the sofa before going to the laundry to find his wife.


    He opened the door only to see his wife ironing clothes in the ironing board with the maids busy as well.


    As soon as Liu Longwei opened the door, Chen Lihua looked up to see him and thought, ''He said he would be back early, and here he is, he really did keep to his word''.


    "Welcome back". Chen Lihua greeted him with a neutral face before going back to her work.


    The two maids nervously bowed to Liu Longwei in greeting before continuing with their work.


    Liu Longwei walked in and asked, "Why are you doing work belonging to the servants?"


    "I was bored and had nothing to do, so here I am". Chen Lihua answered nonchalantly, still ironing.


    Chen Lihua could not just bring herself to smile even if she wanted as what happens in the Jewellery shop was still bugging her.


    Liu Longwei put off the switch where the iron was plugged, then he beckoned on Chen Lihua to come to him, that is to step aside.


    "What are you doing?" Chen Lihua asked in annoyance.


    "Leave the rest for the maids and come have lunch with me?" Liu Longwei said stretching out his hand, not minding her expression.


    Although Chen Lihua was annoyed, she still didn''t want to embarrass him, so she placed the iron properly before taking light steps to where Liu Longwei was standing and stretched out her hand to hold his.


    So hand in hand, they left the laundry room.


    "Am not hungry". Chen Lihua said as she removed her hand from Liu Longwei''s.


    "Why?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "I had lunch with my mom before coming back". Chen Lihua answered.


    "I saw what you put in my room. I like the necklace, thank you". Liu Longwei said sincerely.


    Just when he went into his room, he saw the stuff Chen Lihua left there and went through it. He was far amazed at the necklace, so he put it away without trying it on and went to look for her.


    But unfortunately, he didn''t see her and had to come to look for her.


    "You don''t have to thank me". Chen Lihua replied.


    "I have to". Liu Longwei replied and held her hand.


    "Well, suit yourself". Chen Lihua said trying to free her hand, but Liu Longwei didn''t allow her.


    At last in the living room, Chen Lihua was able to free her hands and so walked off to her bedroom, leaving Liu Longwei''s hand to dangle freely.


    Liu Longwei sat on the dining chair to enjoy his lunch.


    Now Liu Longwei knew Chen Lihua wasn''t in a good mood, and so asked the housekeeper and servants if they knew the reason for her bad mood, but they all gave a negative affirmation.


    So he called the bodyguards that followed her out earlier and asked the same question.


    So, that''s how he got to find out about everything that happened today.


    Liu Longwei was angry, and that made the food he ate to start pleading with him for him to calm down, so they could digest in peace.


    Now after finding out the reason behind Chen Lihua''s mood, he hurried up the stairs to go and placate his wife.


    Chen Lihua was sitting on her bed and busy with her phone when Liu Longwei knocked and entered her bedroom.


    Chen Lihua looked up and then continued with her phone after seeing that he was the one.


    Liu Longwei sat on her bed before saying calmly, "I heard what happened today, and am sorry for that".


    His words made Chen Lihua glance at him. "Well, it''s not your fault. I didn''t really take all that to heart, it''s just that I usually get annoyed at the slightest thing whenever my period is on". Chen Lihua answered truthfully.


    "So you''re not angry anymore?" Liu Longwei asked, not quite sure of her mood.


    "You don''t believe me. In fact, at one corner of my heart, I was quite happy at leaving them speechless. There''s no how I would be short-changed, especially when trouble comes for me". Chen Lihua finally said with a smile.


    Liu Longwei: ????????.


    He sure couldn''t understand how she became happy the next minute after she was in a bad mood.


    ''But it''s good that she''s no longer angry, otherwise, it would be more troublesome''. He thought.


    The afternoon of the next day, Chen Lihua entered the kitchen to watch the housekeeper make lunch.


    The housekeeper was scared out of her wits because it was the first time her Mistress entered the kitchen since she started living there.


    So she told her to wait in the dining room for lunch because of the heat in the kitchen, but Chen Lihua refused and sat on the stool placed beside the kitchen island and watched the housekeeper and other servants prepare lunch.


    The housekeeper finally gave up in persuading her, thinking that Chen Lihua was learning how to cook from them because of the way she watched them keenly and that even made them to be on their tenterhooks, afraid of making mistakes and causing her to be dissatisfied with them.


    Chen Lihua saw that they were uncomfortable, and so asked them to pretend she was not there, but how in the world is that possible?


    So, Chen Lihua sighed and left the kitchen after a while as she saw them make more mistakes because of their nervousness.

 Chapter 174 - Chen Lihua makes dinner.

    Chen Lihua saw that they were uncomfortable, and so asked them to pretend she was not there, but how in the world is that possible?


    So, Chen Lihua sighed and left the kitchen after a while as she saw them make more mistakes because of their nervousness.


    The evening of the next day, Chen Lihua went to the supermarket. She came back with shopping bags filled with different types of vegetables.


    She went into the kitchen directly to keep those bags.


    "Madam you would have asked me or any of the servants to buy things for you. You only need to make a list, and the job is done". The housekeeper said worriedly.


    "No problem. I like shopping personally whenever I want to cook". Chen Lihua answered mildly.


    "Don''t touch anything there, I will do the work myself". Chen Lihua said and left the kitchen to go and freshen up (to bath and wear a comfortable outfit).


    The housekeeper had a look of shock on her face as she couldn''t believe her ears. She must have thought that Chen Lihua didn''t know how to cook.


    But the housekeeper couldn''t just leave the kitchen, so she stood there and waited till Chen Lihua came back looking refreshed.


    Chen Lihua entered the kitchen wearing, a three-quatre short, and comfortable polo.


    She put on a pretty apron she bought for herself and got ready to work.


    "Aunty you can leave the kitchen, I will be in charge of dinner for tonight". Chen Lihua said helplessly.


    She was indeed surprised to see the housekeeper still standing in the kitchen 20 minutes later.


    Since her Mistress told her that the dinner was on her, there''s nothing she would say that would make her have a change of mind.


    But she was not foolish enough to leave the kitchen while her Mistress was still there, it''s not like she wanted to lose her job, so she would as well stay there to assist her.


    Seeing that the housekeeper refused to move an inch and had a pleading look on her face, Chen Lihua finally relented. She told her she could stay to help out.


    So the housekeeper happily took all the vegetables and foodstuffs from the bags.


    When the other servants responsible for helping out in the kitchen found out that their Mistress was in the kitchen, and that too - preparing dinner, they hurriedly found their way to the kitchen.


    It''s not actually their fault because Chen Lihua decided to make dinner herself without saying anything to them, and she was preparing the dinner early.


    Chen Lihua looked on as she saw four servant girls enter the kitchen. She had a look of helplessness on her face.


    Since she couldn''t chase them out, she just let them stay and assigned tasks to them.


    Two servants washed the vegetables while the other two cut them. The housekeeper was tasked to boil rice, and so that way, all were busy.


    The two servants in charge of cutting the vegetables (carrots, red/green/yellow bell peppers, broccoli, white onion, green beans, etc.), cut them in cubes according to Chen Lihua''s instructions.


    Chen Lihua had to monitor them from time to time to make sure they did their work according to her instructions.


    "Madam, what size should I cut the chicken into?" A servant asked after washing the 2 big whole frozen chicken.


    "Cut them into medium pieces. Not big, not small". Chen Lihua instructed, and the servant got to work.


    After Chen Lihua put the chicken pieces in a pot that was already on fire, she put the herbs (bay leaf and rosemary) and spices (ginger, garlic, turmeric, pepper, and salt, etc.).


    The herbs were fresh because she bought them from the supermarket. As for the spices, she got them from one of the shelves in the kitchen.


    The servants thought she would ask them where the spices were kept, but Chen Lihua directly went to that shelf, opened it and took the spices.


    The manner at which she did that suggested that she knew her way around in the kitchen, that is she is very familiar with the things in the kitchen.


    But since they were quick-witted, they grasped the situation by recalling that their Mistress came into the kitchen yesterday afternoon to watch them.


    The housekeeper observed from the side. She couldn''t help but say with a genuine smile. "Madam you shouldn''t have watched us yesterday just to know were the condiments and utensils are kept. You just have to ask us, and we will show you or get what you want for you".


    "That''s not a big deal. I don''t like being frustrated in the kitchen. And I like moving quickly in the kitchen with nothing delaying me". Chen Lihua answered.


    The food was ready in an hour''s time. Chen Lihua sent a servant to call Liu Longwei to come down for his dinner.


    Liu Longwei has been in the study since 4 Pm, so he doesn''t know about Chen Lihua going to the supermarket or preparing dinner.


    Just when she sent the servant away, she remembered that she left her phone in the bedroom, so she went upstairs to get it. And by the time she came downstairs, Liu Longwei was already sitting at the dining, and she heard him asking about her.


    "Am right here". Chen Lihua answered as she walked towards him.


    Since the dining was filled with the aroma from the food, Liu Longwei couldn''t tell that she cooked the food if not, he would have been able to tell from the smell on her body as she walked past him.


    "The servant told me you asked me to come down for dinner. So I came down and didn''t see you". Liu Longwei said and took a sip from the glass of water while staring at the dishes on the table.


    "Sorry about that. I left my phone in the room, so I had to go pick it up". Chen Lihua apologized.


    By mere seeing the way Liu Longwei was staring at the food, you would definitely misunderstand by thinking he didn''t like it, not knowing that he hasn''t eaten that type of food before in his house apart from when he traveled out and something similar to that.


    So he was wondering if the servants got a new recipe or something else.


    But Chen Lihua misunderstood that look of confusion on his face. So thinking he didn''t like it, she asked worriedly, "You don''t like the food?"


    She asked because she thought it would be a waste if he didn''t like it since she cooked because of him, as she had promised to cook for him on their first date.


    "I like it". Liu Longwei answered and nodded.


    "Then that''s good because I thought my efforts have been wasted, but luckily you like what you are seeing". Chen Lihua said with a smile as she served him the white rice in a flat ceramic plate before pouring the gravy on top of the rice. She placed a piece of chicken lap and a boiled egg on one side of the plate.


    Liu Longwei looked at Chen Lihua with surprise and asked, "You made it?"


    "Yes, are you surprised?" Chen Lihua asked as she served herself some food before sitting down.


    "Of course I am". Liu Longwei answered with a big smile on his face as he picked his cutlery.


    Sending a spoon of the food into his mouth, he chewed on it and savored the taste at the same time.


    Seeing that big smile on his face as he ate the food, Chen Lihua smiled as well and asked happily, "Do you like the food?"


    Liu Longwei nodded satisfactorily, "The food is delicious".

 Chapter 175 - The baby would have long disappeared by now.

    Sending a spoon of the food into his mouth, he chewed on it and savoured the taste at the same time.


    Seeing that big smile on his face as he ate the food, Chen Lihua smiled as well and asked happily, "Do you like the food?"


    Liu Longwei nodded satisfactorily, "The food is delicious".


    Chen Lihua smiled and started eating as well.


    "Now, you''ve proved to me that you are a good cook". Liu Longwei said after he wiped his lips with the dinner napkin after eating.


    Chen Lihua drank a little water from her glass and said with a big smile, "Of course, I can cook very well. I can cook different dishes from other countries as well. Sometimes, I make my own recipe".


    "Thank you for the wonderful dinner". Liu Longwei said.


    That night, the servants and the bodyguards all ate their fill because their mistress cooked enough for everyone, and that made them very happy.


    Now they all know their Mistress could cook very well, and could even be compared to the top chefs.


    As days went by, Chen Lihua obediently exercised with Liu Longwei.


    So the morning of the day Chen Lihua was to go to the Chen Villa to prepare for their traditional Chinese Wedding, Liu Longwei brought out their wedding rings.


    "I thought I asked you to keep the rings that it was a surprise for you. And you could only see it a day at our wedding?" Chen Lihua asked the man that came into her room.


    With the ring boxes in his hands, Liu Longwei walked to Chen Lihua and sat on the same sofa as she did with a smile on his face.


    "I just wanted to make sure the rings were in their right sizes".


    "The rings are in their right sizes, you don''t need to open the box to check them out, or slip them into our fingers. You should trust Tiffany". Chen Lihua answered him as she continued browsing the magazine in her hands.


    "You sound like you trust them a lot. What if they disappoint us, what will you do?" Liu Longwei questioned as he glanced at her.


    "I don''t think they want to be out of business after many successful years or make a bad name for themselves because of the wrong ring size or maybe a problem with the designs requested for. So quit with your excuses". Chen Lihua said without looking at him haven found him out, as she flipped to another page of the magazine.


    Liu Longwei now truly felt that having a smart wife was really troublesome for him because he couldn''t even fool her whenever he wanted.


    "Wife, let me just take a peek". Liu Longwei pleaded.


    Chen Lihua finally closed the magazine. She dropped it on the table before finally looking at him.


    "No you can''t, and you are disrupting my peace. Now promise me that you won''t ever take a look at the rings before a day to our wedding". Chen Lihua said seriously.


    Liu Longwei sighed and compromised at last.


    The reason for Chen Lihua''s behaviour now is because the wedding rings she designed were very simple but beautiful. She was worried that Liu Longwei would change them out, or modify them for it to become more extravagant. So even if he would want to do that, it would be too late for him as there was nothing he could do on the eve of their wedding. She was already wearing an extravagant one on her finger. What would she look like if she added another one on the same finger? She will look like she was flaunting their wealth, and maybe be kidnapped or incur jealousy and hatred from people.


    "Can you drop me at the Chen residence in the next four hours? I know my mother is already waiting anxiously". Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei refuted immediately with a serious look on his face. "No, I will send you there in the evening. Spend some time with me, since we won''t be seeing each other till the eve of our wedding".


    Chen Lihua looked at him and wanted to ask, ''Haven''t you spent more than enough time with me these days?'' But she refrained when she saw the serious look in his face that meant he wasn''t joking.


    "Ok ????". Chen Lihua said in agreement, then Liu Longwei smiled satisfactorily.


    So they spent their last few hours making final decisions on their wedding gifts for both weddings. They also laughed and talked about other matters pertaining to their weddings.


    When evening came, Liu Longwei sent Chen Lihua back to the Chen residence. He even came into the villa to have tea and snacks before leaving.


    Looking at the jewellery Liu Longwei gifted her, Lady Chen smiled and said to her daughter, "Your husband even knows how to take care of his mother-in-law".


    "Mmmm". Chen Lihua murmured as she ate the gr.a.p.e in her mouth.


    "Are you even paying attention to what am saying?" Lady Chen asked.


    "Mmmm". Chen Lihua murmured again, sending more gr.a.p.es into her mouth at the same time.


    Lady Chen sighed on seeing the way her daughter ate the fruits like she''s been starved since morning. Then a thought came to her mind.


    So she smiled beautifully and looked closely at her daughter.


    Chen Lihua sent another gr.a.p.e to her mouth while looking at her mother with the expression of ''Not good'' written all over her face.


    If she couldn''t read the meaning of her mother''s sudden happiness or couldn''t tell the changes in the atmosphere, then her IQ must be really low.


    "Hua''er if you like the fruit so much, I will tell the servants to get you more, you don''t need to rush it". Lady Chen said enthusiastically.


    Chen Lihua just ate her gr.a.p.es without saying anything in reply as she continued staring at her. She was waiting for her to get to the main point.


    And true to her thoughts, Lady Chen didn''t disappoint her. She immediately opened her mouth to speak.


    "You are eating as if you are pregnant. Are you pregnant?"


    Chen Lihua rolled the gr.a.p.e that she would have sent into her mouth gently between her fingers as she stared at her mother speechlessly.


    "Mom am not pregnant. I am eating the gr.a.p.es this way because I like how they are slightly chilled. Besides if I was pregnant, don''t you think your taunting and the number of times you''ve mentioned my pregnancy that the baby would have long disappeared by now?"

 Chapter 176 - Chinese tea and hair combing ceremony.

    Chen Lihua rolled the gr.a.p.e that she would have sent into her mouth gently between her fingers as she stared at her mother speechlessly.


    "Mom am not pregnant. I am eating the gr.a.p.es this way because I like how they are slightly chilled. Besides if I was pregnant, don''t you think your taunting and the number of times you''ve mentioned my pregnancy that the baby would have long disappeared by now?"


    "You....." That was the last words Lady Chen was able to say before her mouth was stuffed with the gr.a.p.e.


    Chen Lihua rubbed her now free fingers and stood up with a smile.


    "Mom see you later. I am off to my room".


    Lady Chen watched on as Chen Lihua disappeared from her view. Then she felt the gr.a.p.e in her mouth and started chewing it.


    "The gr.a.p.e is really nice when slightly chilled. But shouldn''t she have given it to me in a more caring manner than stuffing into my mouth like that?" she huffed.


    Two days to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s Chinese traditional wedding, the whole Chen family came over to stay for the celebration.


    At night, Chen Villa was still bustling lively. As the House was full, and the next day was the eve to the Chinese wedding, many activities and preparations were going on.


    Chen Lihua didn''t have the strength to engage in conversation with anybody, so she stayed back in her room and watched an action movie from the television in her room while drinking a glass of strawberry flavoured sweetened yogurt.


    Lady Chen came into her room without knocking as usual.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even bother looking because she knew the culprit. Even if it wasn''t her mother, she wouldn''t have said anything because servants have been tripping in with different packages, and out of room empty-handed.


    Lady Chen glanced at her daughter who was drinking a glass of yogurt and watching a movie at the same time, so she walked to her quickly and began to berate her.


    "Lihua what do you think you''re doing so late at night? Do you know how many calories this yogurt contains? And the Chinese tea ceremony and hair combing ceremony is tomorrow, and you are still awake at this time".


    Chen Lihua sighed before pausing the movie.


    "I always enjoy this every day since I''ve been at home with nothing to do. But I always work it out the next morning. The movie will end in five minutes, so I will go to sleep after it, so tell the servants not enter my room anymore".


    "You had better not add any weight because if you do and your dresses require another fitting, I will scr.a.p.e the excess skin off". Lady Chen warned seriously because Chen Lihua had her last dress fittings a day ago.


    "Yes Ma". Chen Lihua answered before playing the movie.


    Lady Chen looked on for a while before helplessly saying, "Are you not nervous that your big day is around the corner?"


    "I am, and that''s why I am watching a movie". Chen Lihua answered truthfully as she glanced at her mother.


    Lady Chen smiled hearing her daughter admit it straightforwardly. Then she became so moved that she gave her a motherly hug. A hug that carried the love and affection a mother had for her daughter.


    Chen Lihua felt so warm and safe in her mother''s embrace, and so hugged her back before shutting her eyes.


    Lady Chen released her after a few minutes and gave her a good night kiss on her forehead before leaving her room.


    By the time all these were done, the movie that was showing on the television earlier has already come to an end.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she switched off the television and lights before lying on her bed to sleep.


    The next day, the tea ceremony was held in the morning and afternoon, and so Chen Lihua was awoken very early in the morning to prepare for it.


    Even Liu Longwei went back to the Liu residence a day before, because of the tea ceremony. So the Liu residence was bustling with activities as well.


    The remaining relatives of the Liu family were all around as well, making the Villa a full house.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei met during the tea ceremony but did not have the opportunity to speak much.


    Tsaochua tea was the tea used for the Chinese tea ceremony.


    On the evening of the same day, the hair combing ceremony was held at the Chen residence. But nobody knew that amidst the happiness that they were all experiencing, somebody out there was sad and regretful for missing out on this happy occasion.


    In order not to become sadder, the person asked the driver to drive away, and so the driver drove the car away from where it was parked close to Chen''s gate.


    The hair combing ceremony is usually conducted on the eve of the wedding or in the early morning of the Chinese wedding..


    After showering with water infused pomelo or pomegranate leaves, the bride and groom change into a set of clothing and shoes. Then attending female family members bless them as they sit in front of an open window with the visible moon or in front of the mirror.


    But that was not the case for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei as they did things differently.


    So they did really follow the steps. It was as if the hair combing ceremony was just included.


    So Chen Lihua wore a set of red night robes after bathing with a liquid fragrant soap bath. She then sat on a chair beside the window as the ceremony began.


    The four blessings associated with the hair combing ceremony are:


    First combing - Be blessed to be together till the end.


    Second combing - Be blessed with a hundred years of harmony in marriage.


    Third combing - Be blessed with a houseful of children and grandchildren.


    Fourth combing - Be blessed with abundant wealth and longevity in marriage.


    After the hair combing ceremony was over, a sweet dessert soup containing pink glutinous rice spherical dumplings called ''tang yuan'' was served to wish the couple a complete and sweet marriage.


    As for Liu Longwei, do you think with his personality and level, he would agree to do the hair combing ceremony?

 Chapter 177 - Chen Lihua is nervous.

    After the hair combing ceremony was over, a sweet dessert soup containing pink glutinous rice spherical dumplings called ''tang yuan'' was served to wish the couple a complete and sweet marriage.


    As for Liu Longwei, do you think with his personality and level, he would agree to do the hair combing ceremony?


    Well to the surprise of everyone, he did. This showed how much care and effort he was putting into this wedding.


    That same night, their (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) friends arrived at their respective houses.


    Chen Lihua didn''t have many friends with whom she was close, so just a few female friends that she was close to in high school came for her hair combing ceremony.


    So they had a little reunion that night after her hair combing ceremony.


    As Chen Lihua couldn''t stay longer with them because of her big day tomorrow, a servant came to take her away on Lady Chen''s order.


    Chen Lihua had no choice but to part with her three female friends who she hadn''t seen for months.


    (This is so because Chen Lihua met with them once when she came back to China).


    They smiled and told her to go and get her beauty sleep for her big day tomorrow.


    Before Chen Lihua slept, her back and shoulders were massaged with essential oil, and a moisturizer and a face mask on her face.


    After being tossed around for a while, now Chen Lihua laid on her bed with sleepy eyes when her phone rang.


    Without looking at the caller ID, she answered the call. There was silence as none of them said a word.


    Chen Lihua frowned as she said into the phone, "I will end the call if you don''t say anything".


    Liu Longwei sighed before saying with longing in his voice, "How are you?"


    Instantly, the frown disappeared from her face. She almost became teary-eyed due to the sudden rush of emotions.


    "Am fine". She answered at last. "Hope you''re all good as well?" She asked.


    "Am not all that good". Liu Longwei replied and sat on his bed.


    Chen Lihua became half awake and asked worriedly, "What happened?"


    "I miss you". Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    After a while, Chen Lihua said as a smile appeared on her face, "I miss you too".


    Liu Longwei smiled and became satisfied when he heard Chen Lihua say that she missed him as well. He felt a tinge of something in his heart.


    "Rest well, Goodnight, I love you". Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua blushed and murmured "Good night" before terminating the call.


    Chen Lihua felt so happy, and it was a different kind of happiness she felt during the day when she talked with her friends and interacted with her relatives.


    She was so happy and relaxed now that she has spoken to her groom. So with joy, she closed her eyes to sleep with her phone still in her hand.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua was woken up early in the morning around 5:30 Am to prepare for her big day, and it was now that she began to feel nervous.


    She felt so nervous that she paced around in her room while her heartbeats accelerated.


    When she saw her mother come into her room, she hurriedly walked straight to her and held her hands.


    "Mother, thank God you''re here. I am so nervous that my heartbeats have doubled. And if this continues, am afraid I will come down with high blood pressure on my own wedding day".


    Lady Chen held her hands and gently dragged her to her bed as she consoled her.


    "It''s normal for you to be nervous, after all, it''s your day. But then, you need to be calm. Come on, take a deep breath".


    Chen Lihua breathed in and out for a while, but couldn''t calm down. So Lady Chen asked a servant for a glass of water, which passed to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua gulped down half of the water in the glass before she finally calmed down a little.


    "Try your yoga, it will help you relax a lot". Lady Chen said with an encouraging smile. Then she stood up and left her room, while Chen Lihua sat on her rug in a yoga position.


    In the hallway, Lady Chen took out her phone and dialed a number. Once was all it took for the call to be picked.


    "Are the preparations ready?" Lady Chen inquired.


    "Yes ma''am, everything is ready. The security personnel and the bodyguards have arrived already. The hall is being set up now". The person answered.


    "That''s good". Lady Chen said and ended the call before going to check on the preparations going on in her house.


    After her breathing exercises and calming yoga poses, Chen Lihua felt a lot better now. Lady Chen even came back to check up on how she was doing.


    Back at the Liu Villa, Liu Longwei was awake already. Currently, he was having a hair cut in one of the rooms in the Villa. He looked extremely handsome with his eyes closed.


    Lots of preparations were being made at the Liu Villa. The whole place was decorated with wedding decorations and double happiness designs, just like the Chen Villa.


    Everyone in the house was busy, even old Lady Liu was not left out. She sat on a couch and made calls as well, with a very big smile on her face.


    As the house was very busy, the children were in their rooms playing with their toys with two nannies left to look after them.


    By 6 AM, Chen Lihua was escorted to the bathroom to have a bath.


    A mature lady could be seen bending beside the bathtub. She was seen putting into the bathwater - milk rose petals, and rose oil. After that, she put her hand into the water to stir it.


    "Miss your bathwater is ready, you can now soak in it". The young lady behind her spoke in a respectful tone.


    There were two female beauticians in the bathroom. The one who was standing behind Chen Lihua and the other one who added some beauty products to the bathwater.

 Chapter 178 - Aunt Lin secretly sends a picture out.

    "Miss your bathwater is ready, you can now soak in it". The young lady behind her spoke in a respectful tone.


    There were two female beauticians in the bathroom. The one who was standing behind Chen Lihua and the other one who added some beauty products to the bathwater.


    Initially, Lady Chen wanted to send four female beauticians to help Chen Lihua have her bath, but Chen Lihua refused any of them, saying she could take care of her bath herself because she was way too embarrassed to have other people help her to bathe.


    But Lady Chen was not in the mood to entertain her, so she just sent two female beauticians to help with her bath.


    So Chen Lihua had no choice than to agree after she knew that her mother wouldn''t make any other adjustments.


    Chen Lihua still wearing the red night robe she wore the previous night for her hair combing ceremony.


    As Chen Lihua loosened the ropes of her night robe, the beautician that was standing at her back, helped to take off her red nightgown before she walked to the bathtub stack n.a.k.e.d, with a straight face.


    Just as she was about stepping into the bathtub, she saw from the corner of her eyes that the other beautician was staring at her body, so she frowned and asked, "Why are you staring at my body that way?"


    The beautician was taken aback by the question because she didn''t mean any harm. She just wanted to see if Chen Lihua had any hair on her body (Armpits and nether regions), so she could take care of it immediately. But she didn''t see any hair.


    As she wanted to explain, she stopped when she saw the look of unhappiness written on Chen Lihua''s face, so she just apologized, "Am sorry ma''am".


    Accepting her apology, Chen Lihua got into the bathtub with their help, as they held her hands, so she wouldn''t slip.


    Chen Lihua soaked in the bathtub for 15 minutes before they helped her to wash up.


    Trust Chen Lihua, she didn''t allow them to touch her b.r.e.a.s.t or her lower region. Because as one of the beautician''s hand touched the upper part of her b.r.e.a.s.ts, she immediately took the foam from her, saying she would wash there herself.


    On the other hand, Liu Longwei was having a bath in his bathtub as well, without any help.


    He had a wine glass in his hand.


    As he took a sip from the glass, he smiled. Only God knew what he was thinking, which made him smile that way.


    Now, Chen Lihua was done with her bath. Then she applied her body lotion on her body before wearing her undies and the red inner robe of her Chinese wedding gown, before stepping into her room.


    By 6:30 AM, the makeup artist and the hairstylist both started their work on Chen Lihua as the videographer had already set his video camera ???? rolling. The photographer wasn''t left behind. He took pictures of Chen Lihua as he captured a series of moments of her.


    Chen Lihua''s hair was styled in a complicated Chinese traditional wedding hairstyle, then she had an exquisite makeup on her face. She looked so beautiful.


    Just then, three friends and female cousins came into her room, all dressed up. There were extra makeup artists in the house that made every one of them up.


    Looking at her beauty, they smiled and praised her before sitting quietly at a corner, as the camera rolled on.


    All these took an hour and thirty minutes to achieve.


    By 8 AM, Chen Lihua''s wedding dress designer came in with her two assistants to help her into her wedding dress (Cheongsam/ Qipao). Then they checked for any errors on the dress. Luckily, there were none.


    Lady Chen came into the room to see her already grown-up daughter dressed in her Chinese wedding dress. Her daughter looked so beautiful in that dress.


    Chen Lihua became emotional on seeing her mother. She was still sitting in front of her dresser, as her stylist slipped in her engagement ring on her finger, and jade bangles on her wrists.


    Chen Lihua''s fingers have already been painted with a cherry red nail polish and jewelry been worn on her ears and neck.


    "Honey you look at beautiful". Lady Chen praised. Chen Lihua just smiled in response.


    Then the photographer began to take pictures of the mother and daughter duo.


    Just then, Chen Lin came into the room. She praised Chen Lihua''s beauty sincerely, and Chen Lihua responded with a ''thank you''. Then, Aunt Lin immediately took a picture of Chen Lihua in her wedding gown.


    "What are you taking the pictures for? I don''t want her pictures to leak, and that''s why there''s a photographer here". Lady Chen said with a smile.


    "Am I not even allowed to take a picture of my niece anymore?" Aunt Lin asked with a frown.


    Lady Chen was about to retort with some words when Chen Lihua sensed it, and so held her hand.


    So Lady Chen didn''t say a word again, and Aunt Lin quickly left the room. She stood at the corridor as servants passed her by. When she saw how busy that place was, she went into the room she was currently staying in the Villa and locked the door.


    Then she found a number that wasn''t saved in her phone before sending the pictures she just captured to the person. She also added a caption, ''Isn''t she beautiful?''


    After sending the message, she calmed down immediately. A few seconds later, she received a message from the person who read, ''She''s indeed very beautiful. Thank you''.


    In that picture, Lady Chen was also captured as well because she was sitting beside Chen Lihua on the bed.


    Aunt Lin sighed before putting her phone away, and then she left her room.


    Chen Lihua''s Aunties and grandparents also came to see her. They praised her and dropped money at her feet.


    They didn''t stay long before leaving as Lady Chen didn''t want the room to be crowded. She took a few pictures with her daughter and her friends.

 Chapter 179 - Your bride isnt running away.

    Chen Lihua''s Aunties and grandparents also came to see her. They praised her and dropped money at her feet.


    They didn''t stay long before leaving as Lady Chen didn''t want the room to be crowded. She took a few pictures with her daughter and her friends.


    In Liu Villa.


    Liu Longwei was dressed in his Chinese wedding attire and had a finger pressed on his temples as he watched his mother rant on. Finally, when he couldn''t take it any longer, he said to her in an annoyed tone.


    "Mum don''t worry, I will put on everything that won''t make me look like a clown ????".


    "What do you mean by that? You have to put on the necessary things required for this wedding". Madam Liu said, alarmed.


    Liu Longwei wore a long red traditional wedding suit with black trousers underneath because he couldn''t imagine himself inside the red traditional trousers.


    Earlier when he checked his looks in the mirror, he already felt that he looked funny. Then what would he look like when he wore those trousers.


    And now his mother was complaining about it. He was already having a headache because of her. He really didn''t know how to deal with her.


    As luck was on his side, his brother Liu Liwei stormed into his room with his friends. They greeted Madam Liu and came into the room.


    "Wow, Brother you look ready to go". Liu Liwei said with a big smile on his face.


    Liu Longwei''s friends acted reserved because madam Liu was still in the room.


    Liu Longwei quickly signaled Liu Liwei to take their mother away with his eyes, and Liu Liwei didn''t disappoint him.


    Liu Liwei quickly turned to madam Liu before saying, "Mum your attention is urgently needed downstairs, many people have been looking for you".


    "That''s right, I almost forgot". Madam Liu said and said as she quickly made her way to the door. But then, she turned around and said to Liu Liwei, "Your brother..."


    Liu Liwei immediately cut her words short as he opened the door before pushing her out gently.


    "Mum don''t worry, I will take care of him".


    Only then did Madam Liu disappear down the stairs, after she was reassured.


    Back in the room, Liu Longwei''s friends made fun of him as soon as Madam Liu left.


    "Yo! Who are we looking at, is this Liu Longwei?" Su Changmin said.


    "He looks like he can''t wait already". Gu Jian who wasn''t around for Liu Longwei''s engagement party said. He was a very handsome young man as well, and his family was into the oil business.


    The others laughed out loud as well.


    Liu Longwei stood up after he was done putting on his shoes and after the makeup artist was done powdering his face.


    "Indeed I can''t wait, let''s go and bring my bride here". Liu Longwei said with a smirk on his face.


    The whole lot was surprised, and immediately followed him out. None wanted to be left behind.


    Meanwhile, the videographer who has been capturing everything hurriedly followed after them with his assistants carrying the equipment behind him.


    Back at the Chen Villa.


    While waiting for the groom (Liu Longwei) to come, Chen Lihua sat on her bed with a red veil over her face, and two embroidered quilts beneath her, for the wish of harmonious marriage and wealthy life. One quilt was embroidered with a dragon and phoenix, while the other was embroidered with cute babies.


    By 8:30 AM, Liu Longwei and his entourage arrived at the Chen Villa, and the sounds of fireworks were heard.


    Liu Longwei came with his brother, friends, sister (Liu Dongmei), and one of his aunt. They came with 7 cards out of which three were for the bodyguards that followed them along.


    Liu Longwei got down from his Grand Jeep Cherokee SRT8 which was already decorated with simple red ribbons ???? as others got down from their cars as well.


    Lady Chen and some other members of the Chen family came out to welcome them. Longwei''s aunt stayed behind to speak with Lady Chen.


    When Liu Longwei and his entourage finally got into Chen Lihua''s room, they saw a person sitting on the bed and dressed in all red with a red veil covering her face.


    Liu Longwei felt his heart beating loudly as he stared at that red figure sitting obediently on the bed with her hands in her sleeves.


    "Wow! Sister-in-law your dress is so beautiful". Liu Dongmei exclaimed as she strode into the room with a wide grin ???? on her face.


    As Chen Lihua''s face was covered, she couldn''t see anyone, but she recognized Liu Dongmei''s voice.


    Then she became nervous and squeezed her palms, as she wondered if Liu Longwei was already in her room.


    Her heartbeats increased, and a blush appeared on her face when she finally heard his voice as he responded to the greetings from her friends and cousins.


    Then Liu Longwei''s gaze finally rested on his bride. He was very happy to see her in her wedding attire.


    Seeing how eager Liu Longwei was with the way he was staring at his bride as if he couldn''t even wait to take her away, so they began to tease him.


    Zhang Bingwen winked at Liu Longwei with his hands in his pockets just like Liu Longwei before saying with a tinge of laughter in his voice, "Longwei you''ve got to calm down, your bride is not running away".


    The room erupted in laughter.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she wondered if Liu Longwei was actually staring at her for him to be teased to that level.


    So Beneath that red veil, Chen Lihua''s cheeks blushed as her lips turned up in a smile.


    Liu Longwei ignored them all as he walked towards Chen Lihua as he stared at her before his view was suddenly blocked by the ladies.


    So now, Liu Longwei couldn''t see Chen Lihua''s figure or walk towards her even with his tall height.

 Chapter 180 - Wedding Game.

    Liu Longwei ignored them all as he walked towards Chen Lihua as he stared at her before his view was suddenly blocked by the ladies.


    So now, Liu Longwei couldn''t see Chen Lihua''s figure or walk towards her even with his tall height.


    The shining light in his eyes dimmed a whole lot as he stared at them, waiting for their demands.


    One of Chen Lihua''s friends told him to find Chen Lihua''s shoes (Wedding shoes) which they had already hidden earlier before they (Liu Longwei and his entourage) entered the room.


    This is mainly about taking their beloved bride (Chen Lihua) away, and it is not an easy mission, so they used this opportunity to teach the groom (Liu Longwei) to treasure her (Chen Lihua) in the future.


    Hence, Liu Longwei began to look for Chen Lihua''s shoes in the room amidst his friend''s cheers and laughter.


    The ladies stopped blocking Chen Lihua''s view when they saw that Liu Longwei had begun searching for the shoe.


    It was so funny to see Liu Longwei looking for something with a serious look on his face. It was as if that shoe would determine his future.


    Under the red veil, Chen Lihua was smiling as she imagined the look Liu Longwei had on his face as he was being commanded to look for a shoe.


    The room was not too crowded with the number of people who were currently in the room, thanks to the size of Chen Lihua''s room.


    Liu Longwei searched Chen Lihua''s room before going into her bathroom and walk-in closet to search, but couldn''t see anything that resembles a Chinese wedding shoe.


    When he came back to the room empty-handed, Liu Liwei gave him a disappointed look as he asked, "Brother you still haven''t found the shoes?"


    But Liu Longwei didn''t answer him, and instead stood at a place and looked around the room with a serious and determined look on his face.


    "What! The great Liu Longwei who has many strategic business plans couldn''t even find his bride''s shoe?" Han Jian asked, and the others erupted in laughter while Liu Longwei glanced at Han Jian, but remained silent.


    "Brother you must find Lihua''s shoes, or you won''t be able to take her away if you don''t pass their test". Liu Dongmei said, patting his shoulder.


    Now, Liu Longwei moved his gaze to where Chen Lihua was sitting and stared intently at the place, and this made the others wonder what he was thinking.


    But this was not the same for Chen Lihua''s friends and cousins, as they had a different look. Some of them had a look of surprise while the others had an uneasy facial expression, but they immediately covered it up so Liu Longwei wouldn''t discover anything.


    But one of them was too late to cover up her look because Liu Longwei saw immediately and thus, confirmed his guess/ deductions.


    So now, he smiled and walked straight to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua felt her heartbeat accelerated when she heard the steady footsteps that were getting closer to her.


    At first, when her friends pulled her shoe off her feet and she asked them for the reason, they told her to relax, that they were playing an interesting game.


    So without seeing what was going on, but hearing what was going on, she now had total knowledge of what the game was all about.


    Now standing in front of his bride, Liu Longwei knelt before her on one knee and apologized, "Am sorry wife, but I have to do this". Then he raised Chen Lihua''s legs which were covered with the red long flowing gown and put them on his lap before stretching his hands under the bed.


    A few seconds later, Liu Longwei brought a pair of female wedding shoes. He raised them so that everyone could see that he has found the shoes.


    "Wow! How did he know the shoes were there?" Mu Boqin asked in astonishment.


    "That''s right, how did he know? I wouldn''t even have thought of that place if I was the one". Wu Bohai said in surprise.


    Liu Dongmei had her mouth agape in shock. She felt that those ladies really knew how to play their game very well.


    "You Ladies took a big risk. How could you hide the shoes right where Lihua was sitting?" Li Dongmei asked.


    "You see, that was the safest place. And you could tell with how long the groom took to finally find it". Chen Lihua''s friend said with a smile.


    All of them nodded because of what she said was right.


    One of Chen Lihua''s cousin gave Liu Longwei a sign (She nodded her head) for him to go ahead.


    After he got their approval, He lifted Chen Lihua''s gown a little, then held her feet which were covered in a white pantyhose before helping her feet into the shoes.


    When he was done, he took out a bundle of money from his trouser pocket. Then he unwrapped the money before spraying the money on his bride. And he did it so elegantly.


    One of the Ladies screamed excitedly ''????'' as claps and cheers came from Liu Longwei''s friends.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even know what was happening as she couldn''t see or feel anything. Just the cheers that told her something was happening, or rather that Liu Longwei was doing something.


    So her imagination started running wide as she began to wonder what he was doing that even made someone scream excitedly.


    When Liu Longwei was done spraying the money, he lifted Chen Lihua in a bridal style with a smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua who was already blushing right under that veil, quickly held his neck with her hands to support herself.


    Then Liu Longwei carried her away with his entourage following behind them. As they passed the hallway, stairs, etc., there were joyful sounds coming from everyone passed by.


    Lady Chen was all smiles seeing her daughter being carried away by her groom. She even came outside with other members of the Chen Family to send them off.


    A bodyguard opened the back passenger door for Liu Longwei, and he gently dropped Chen Lihua on the car seat.


    The bodyguard closed the door as Liu Longwei got into the car through the other side of the car.


    Liu Longwei''s entourage got into their respective cars as well before they drove off in a convoy ????????????????????????????.


    Immediately they left, Lady Chen started making arrangements for Chen Lihua''s reception gowns to be sent to the reception venue.


    Next, she urged everyone to quicken their steps with whatever chores they were handling.

 Chapter 181 - Dont mention Longweis exs again.

    (I am apologizing on this chapter because I skipped some things since I wasn''t so sure about them i.e. the Chinese wedding traditions and also not to waste time).


    Immediately they left, Lady Chen started making arrangements for Chen Lihua''s reception gowns to be sent to the reception venue.


    Next, she urged everyone to quicken their steps with whatever chores they were handling.


    Liu Villa.


    From the gates, fireworks ????were released to welcome Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei. There were happy smiles on the faces of every member of the Liu Family.


    Madam Liu dropped everything she was doing and rushed out of the house with other members of the family to welcome the bride.


    Old Madam Liu wanted to follow the crowd as well, but she was stopped by her granddaughter, Liu Huiling.


    "Grandma just stay here, Chen Lihua isn''t running away, after all, she''s coming right inside. And you don''t have to worry that you''ll be alone because I''ll be here with you". Liu Huiling said.


    Old Madam Liu turned to look at her before asking thoughtfully, "Who needs you to stay with me? By the way, what are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be outside with the others to welcome your sister-in-law?"


    Liu Huiling waved her hand, "She''s being welcomed by some many people, and it''s not like attendance is being taken, and it''s not like the ceremony won''t continue without my presence".


    "This girl. Don''t tell me you don''t like your sister-in-law?" Old Madam Liu asked worriedly.


    Liu Huiling frowned, "Grandma I never said anything like that. I like Lihua, and I think she''s the best partner for my brother unlike that foolish ex-girlfriend of his or his white lotus first love".


    Old Madam Liu heaved a sigh of relief before saying to her, "Then that''s good. But you have to arrange your facial expression because those who don''t know you will think you dislike your sister-in-law. And don''t mention Longwei''s ex''s again if you don''t want me to have any heart troubles".


    Liu Huiling nodded in understanding.


    "That''s right, where is your husband? He wasn''t around during the first introduction with the Chen family, and now I can''t seem to catch a glimpse of his shadow". Old Madam Liu asked with a frown.


    Liu Huiling whose heart was now at rest suddenly felt a raging storm in her heart. She felt a prick on her beating heart at that question.


    "Grandma he''s on a business trip". Liu Huiling answered with a blank look.


    "Didn''t you tell him about the introductory meeting with the Chen Family or about your brother''s wedding that is going on currently?" Old Madam Liu implored.


    "Grandma I told him about it, but he said he was busy and so went on a business trip. But he promised to be around for the White wedding". Liu Huiling answered with a tinge of annoyance in her voice.


    Old Madam Liu noticed that and asked worriedly, "Is everything ok ???? with your marriage?"


    Liu Huiling squeezed out a smile saying, "Everything is ok Grandma".


    Seeing that the old Lady was about to ask another question that may make her not to be able to calm the raging storm in her heart, She immediately interrupted her.


    "Grandma, can we talk about this some other time?" She said.


    It was not actually a question, neither was she seeking her opinion. She literally just made her decision.


    Thankfully, Old Madam Liu understood that she didn''t want to talk about it, so she tactfully shut her mouth least she offended this her short-tempered granddaughter on this celebratory occasion.


    Outside, Madam Liu happily held Chen Lihua''s hand as she assisted her into the house.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t see a thing due to the veil covering her eyes. So she relied on her husband and mother-in-law''s support to walk. So they assisted her till they got into the house.


    Many of the Liu family members came to say a few words of blessings to the bride.


    In an hour''s time, the celebration moved to the reception venue.


    The Wedding Banquet was being held at one of the Seven Stars Hotels of the Liu Group, and it was paid for by the Liu Family as it was their duty.


    Since It was his wedding, Liu Longwei booked the entire hotel a month ago, so that there wouldn''t be any interruption whatsoever.


    Guests were already flooding the venue without any problem as the entire hotel had been sealed off from the public''s eyes.


    At the reception venue, the guests presented their gifts and contributions to the well-dressed attendants at the entrance of the wedding hall before going inside.


    This arrangement was made ahead of time to maintain order.


    And this wedding was strictly on invitation. As the security positioned at the hotel had to check the names on the invitation list to see if it corresponds with the one they had in their system and also to check the facial recognition of the guests. After that, the guests would be scanned to see if there was any weapon they had that might be used to commit a crime.


    As for the wedding hall, you could say that the wedding planner did a good job with the hall''s decoration. At least, this is what you should expect from one of the top wedding planners in China.


    The hall was indeed beautifully decorated with beautiful and valuable items. Anyone that saw this decoration would know that the families celebrating didn''t lack money.


    Not long after the guests were already sitting did the wedding procession arrives.


    The banquet started with a brief elaboration of the newlywed''s love story by the hosts. It was Lady Chen and Madam Liu''s appreciation of speech for everyone present.


    On the screen, pictures of Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei was displayed with a song playing.


    It was a picture of the couple right from their first date to their engagement party, the two families meet up, and down to this day.


    The Guests clapped their hands with smiles on their faces as the video ended.


    Old Mr. Long who was present with his grandson (the one whom he wanted to match-make Chen Lihua with), didn''t look too happy, but he still clapped his hands along with the other guests.


    As the celebration went on, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were invited to the stage. And there, they did their marriage bows.


    The first bow to heaven.


    The second bow to their parents for raising them.


    The third bow to each other for respect in their marriage life.


    They also drank cross-cupped wine for the meaning of shared joy and sorrows.


    Then Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei addressed each other''s parents as mother and father.


    By now, the two families were considered united formally.


    After this, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei changed out of their wedding clothes to their reception clothes in two of the rooms made available for them.


    Chen Lihua''s makeup was retouched after she changed into one of her reception gowns.


    In the midst of the six-course meal, she changed into another dress. Then after the reception and when sending off the guests with Liu Longwei, she changed into the last reception dress.


    There was a total of forty guests present for their wedding banquet. And each Guest went home with expensive gifts in a red double happiness bag.

 Chapter 182 - Am not hiding anything.

    There was a total of forty guests present for their wedding banquet. And each Guest went home with expensive gifts in a red double happiness bag.


    Chen Lihua''s beautiful dresses succeeded in making eyes stay on her for the rest of the day. It was as if she was a runway model, advertising the clothes of a designer.


    Even when Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went around to have a toast with the guests that did not stop them from looking at her. In fact, they instead had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of her beautiful looks and figure.


    Liu Longwei noticed the stares his wife received from both the male and female guests, even the old and the young, and he felt like gorging their eyes out.


    But his jealousy didn''t last for long as he consoled himself with Chen Lihua''s beautiful smile.


    When the wedding banquet was finally over. Chen Lihua sat at a place, tired from the stress she had acc.u.mulated from the day.


    Her friends came over to keep her company. But just then, Lady Chen walked over after sending her friends off.


    "Hua''er you look tired. Why don''t you go and rest in one of the rooms?" Lady Chen asked the exhausted Chen Lihua.


    "No mum, I am fine here. And besides, we will leave soon". Chen Lihua said looking around the hall to see everyone engaged in conversations.


    Liu Longwei wasn''t left out as he had so many people surrounding him. But he still used the very little opportunity he got to glance at his wife.


    When their eyes collided, Chen Lihua smiled bashfully as Liu Longwei winked at her before looking away to continue his conversation with the people surrounding him.


    Lady Chen caught those exchanging looks and smiled as she teases her daughter.


    "I can see the reason why you don''t want to rest in the room. It''s because you two have been exchanging glances". Lady Chen said pointing at them.


    Chen Lihua didn''t bother denying her mother''s words because they were true, and then she neither had the energy to start an argument nor continue it, talk more of ending it.


    Her friends giggled by the side when they saw the blush on her face.


    Chen Lihua''s friends thought the mother and daughter duo needed alone time, so they got up to leave, but Lady Chen thought, ''If they left, then my plan will be foiled'', so she stopped them.


    "You girls should just sit, I won''t take long".


    Then she handed over the doc.u.ments in her hands to Chen Lihua saying, "Sign these doc.u.ments, they are some properties I allocated to your name. Take it, it is your dowry".


    Chen Lihua took the doc.u.ments from her and made a motion of going through it, but Lady Chen stopped her hastily.


    "My dear just put down your signature where it is required. There''s no time to waste. My Lawyer is around now, so I want to hand over the doc.u.ments to him right now".


    "I understand. I just want to take a look at what I am putting my signature on". Chen Lihua said as she signed the first doc.u.ment after taking a quick look at its content before going through the next one.


    "This girl, why don''t you listen to me, I am your mother and I won''t in any way, do anything to harm you. Your friends are waiting for you, and it won''t be good to let them continue waiting. So just sign the doc.u.ments quickly and talk with them". Lady Chen said trying to persuade her with a look of worry.


    Chen Lihua finally raised her head to take a look at the woman who was currently whining.


    "Mum can you keep calm and let me concentrate. This is the modern age, so I have to look at the doc.u.ments that require my signature before signing on it. Even if these doc.u.ments were given by you, my husband, or anyone else, I won''t sign it till I know its contents. But if you don''t want me to look at the doc.u.ments before signing it, then I won''t sign on them. Unless you have something to hide".


    Lady Chen panicked, but for only a while before she calmed herself down.


    "Am not hiding anything. Since you want to take a look at the doc.u.ments before signing on them, then go ahead. But make sure you would be quick with it".


    Before mumbling this part to herself. ''Well, it''s not like you can do anything if you discover something. After all, you are already married to Liu Longwei. The least that could happen now is that you will be angry with me, and then frown your face and refuse to sign the doc.u.ments which you will still sign after I''ve managed to pacify you after some days''.


    Seeing the nonchalant look on her mother''s face, Chen Lihua erased the doubts that rose earlier in her heart as she focused on signing the doc.u.ments. But that didn''t stop her from still looking at them.


    When she got to the last doc.u.ment and was about going through it, Madam Liu came over and called out to her and Lady Chen.


    After briefly exchanging greetings with Lady Chen, she turned to her and said while pointing towards a direction, "Lihua I want to introduce you to some of my friends. They''ve been asking for you".


    "Ok mother, I will come with you immediately". Chen Lihua said before she quickly signed the last doc.u.ment without going through it, before she handed over to Lady Chen saying, "Mum you can have the doc.u.ments, am done signing them".


    Lady Chen smiled heartily as she took the doc.u.ments from her while thanking her stars for saving her from trouble.


    Out of her happiness, she even winked at Madam Liu who smiled and asked her, "Ju Ju what''s wrong with you?"


    "Am happy for our children and thank you for just now". Lady Chen said with a mysterious smile before walking away majestically.


    Madam Liu stared at her back in confusion while wondering why and what she was being thanked for.


    Recollecting herself, she took Chen Lihua''s hand as she led her towards the direction she pointed at earlier.


    Chen Lihua excused herself from her friends before following her mother-in-law walking hand in hand.

 Chapter 183 - Holding up the newly married couple.

    Recollecting herself, she took Chen Lihua''s hand as she led her towards the direction she pointed at earlier.


    Chen Lihua excused herself from her friends before following her mother-in-law''s walk hand in hand.


    When Liu Longwei saw that it was getting late, he immediately abandoned the ''not at the moment'' important conversation he was engaged in to find his wife. And when he found her, he immediately bade goodbye to the rest before taking her home.


    It was quiet in the car before Liu Longwei spoke up. He looked at the already tired Chen Lihua and asked concerned. "You look tired, hope you are ok?"


    Chen Lihua massaged her temples with her right fingers. "I''m good, just tired. I can''t wait to fall asleep once my head hits the bed".


    Liu Longwei looked at her in surprise ''you are thinking of going to sleep immediately we get home? What about me?'' he thought to himself.


    "We will get home soon, and then you can rest all you want" he voiced out to her.


    "Mmmmm". Chen Lihua murmured tiredly but kept her eyes open.


    Immediately they got home (Liu Longwei''s Villa), more cars drove in after them.


    Liu Longwei''s Villa was equally decorated with the Wedding decoration, as it was the couple''s residence, and so could not be left out. A double happiness symbol could be seen hanging in the house.


    Chen Lihua watched on as more cars drove into their dwelling. Those who didn''t know might think the fleet of cars there were for sale, or maybe a car race would take place at any moment.


    Liu Longwei had a finger tapping his temple with his mouth almost twisted speechlessly because he recognized the cars.


    "Longwei don''t even think about having a peaceful night today". Han Jian said as he stepped out of his car.


    "No, he shouldn''t even think about having alone time with his wife". Mu Boqin said as he adjusted his tie????.


    "CEO Longwei, hope you are ready to stay all night drinking?" Wu Bohai asked with a very big grin on his face.


    The others laughed out loud as they watched Liu Longwei''s face turn solemn from seeing them, and hearing their tease.


    "You are already married with a child, and you still have the time to come here to disrupt my night?" Liu Longwei snapped at Mu Boqin with a frown.


    Liu Longwei wasn''t finding the situation funny at all. The reason he asked Mu Boqin that question with all familiarity is that he wasn''t just his friend, but his brother-in-law since he was married to his sister, Liu Dongmei.


    Mu Boqin chuckled a reply, "You don''t have to worry about my family. Besides, my wife specially sent me here on a mission". Liu Longwei had a bitter smile on his face when he heard him mention his sister. Then he replied, "It seems like she''s had some free time on her hands lately. How about I send her to Australia to design and supervise our latest project? Then, you two wouldn''t have to see each other for a few months and you don''t have to thank me because that''s my wedding appreciation gift to you too".


    Mu Boqin was rendered speechless as he muttered to their hearing, "Heartless fellow!"  "Who else wants a little appreciation gift from me?"


    None of them dared to utter a word as they all cursed him under their breath.


    Chen Lihua watched on in surprise as she heard Liu Dongmei''s fate being sealed just like that.


    Since the others couldn''t deal with Liu Longwei, they decided to face Mu Boqin.


    "Boqin, how will you deal with your s.e.x life since you''ll be parting ways with your wife in the next few days?" Li Da asked as he gives him a gentle pat on the shoulder.


    "That''s right. How will you deal with not having s.e.x with your wife for monthssssss?" Zhang Bingwen asked, stressing the''s'' in the months as if asking to ensure he understood the duration.


    "You don''t have to worry about me. I will simply buy plane tickets and go to her". Mu Boqin answered straightforwardly.


    Chen Lihua''s face turned a bright red as she blushed.


    ''What type of topic are these young men discussing just like that?'' She thought to herself.


    "Sister-in-law, how are you doing? I hope you don''t mind us intruding?" Gu Jian looked towards Chen Lihua with a smile.


    "I''m good. You guys should continue". Chen Lihua answered and she glanced at them with her undeniable red face.


    "How can we not mind you when your face is already red?" Su Changming teased as he sent a wink flying towards her.


    Liu Longwei caught the wink with his hand before dropping it on the ground and crushing it with his feet as he looked up at Chen Lihua''s blushing face.


    Su Changming held his chest with his hand as he playfully squeezed his face in pain as if he had just had a heartbreak.


    The two who were beside him patted his shoulders gently saying, "We understand your anguish, so don''t die yet" and then burst into a light laugh.


    A soft Chuckle escaped from Chen Lihua''s lips as she watched the guys make fun of each other.


    "You guys should go home already," Liu Longwei told them. But nobody made a move because they were now looking at him with smiles on their faces.


    Liu Longwei finally came to the conclusion that they wouldn''t leave until they must have achieved their mission.


    So he said turned to Chen Lihua and said, "Go ahead, I''ll be joining you soon".


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding and was about turning away when two more cars drove into the residence, so she stopped in tracks.


    Six Ladies stepped out from the car with fat smiles on their faces.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua were totally speechless. But more especially Liu Longwei who was already having a headache from dealing with his friends. And now, another batch of trouble had arrived.


    Liu Longwei whispered softly to Chen Lihua''s ear. "Take them with you. But if they refuse to leave after ten minutes, send them away".

 Chapter 184 - Perfectly ready to Seduce your husband.

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were totally speechless. But more especially Liu Longwei who was already having a headache from dealing with his friends. And now, another batch of trouble has come.


    Liu Longwei whispered softly to Chen Lihua''s ear "Take them with you. But if they refuse to leave after ten minutes, send them away".


    Chen Lihua nodded with a smile and made her way into the house after signaling her friends to follow her.


    The girls became excited and hurriedly followed her after greeting the guys (Liu Longwei and his friends).


    After Chen Lihua disappeared with her female friends, Liu Longwei asked his friends to follow him into the house.


    So while walking, Mu Boqin asked, "What did you whisper to your wife earlier?"


    Without stopping in his tracks, Liu Longwei answered, "Should I make arrangements for a change of job for you?"


    They walked silently into the house.


    Liu Longwei took them into one of the rooms that has already been furnished like a mini sitting room to drink.


    So many bottles of wine were on display on the vintage barrelled designed wine-shelf.


    "Wow! This place looks exactly like a wine cellar". Gu Jian said as he found himself a place to sit like the others did while looking around.


    "Does sister-in-law know about this place?" Li Da asked throwing a sly look at Liu Longwei as he voiced what everyone else was thinking at the sight of the cellar.


    "It''s a man cave so she doesn''t need to know about this place. She''s been so busy with work that she doesn''t have the time to look around. She doesn''t even know the number of cars I have because she hadn''t the time to look at my underground car garage". Liu Longwei said with a thin smile.


    "Wow! Your words make your wife seem like she''s a workaholic". Han Jian said.


    "Well, she doesn''t joke with her job. That''s enough about my wife, we are not here to talk about her". Liu Longwei said suddenly ending that conversation.


    Liu Longwei brought three bottles of expensive alcoholic wine with eight wine glasses and puts them on the table.


    Then he said, "Time yourselves now. Once 15 minutes is over, leave my house. So you all had better use the little opportunity you have to savor the taste of the wine to your heart''s content before leaving".


    "Woah¡­ Ease up Mr. Ice". Su Changming said as he immediately opened a bottle of wine before pouring its contents into the eight wine glasses.


    "You are so stingy. There are so many bottles of wine looking at us, but you only brought three," Wu Bohai said in annoyance.


    "You can leave now if you don''t want to drink. Others can even follow in your footsteps by leaving early as well," Liu Longwei said nonchalantly as he sipped from his wine glass cross-legged on a couch in the room.


    Wu Bohai finally held in his grievance as he touched his pink hair before picking up his wine glass and drinking from it. He gulped the contents from his wine glass swiftly throwing an icy stare towards Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua took the Ladies to her bedroom. Her room being opposite that of her husband''s, gave her friends the opportunity to see the double-happiness symbol that was placed on the door.


    In Chen Lihua''s room, they exclaimed in admiration and praised how beautiful her house was.


    They made themselves comfortable as Chen Lihua asked the servants to bring up cans of fruit juice for them.


    But the servant came back with a bottle of wine and wine glasses.


    Looking at the wine in his hand, Chen Lihua asked the servant, "What happened to the fruit juice?"


    The servant bowed before responding respectfully, "Sir asked me to send you this bottle of wine".


    "Lihua you are so lucky, your husband treats you very well" one of the Ladies had said.


    While another walked over to the servant and grabbed the wine from her before popping it saying, "The wine is better compared to the fruit juice as we are still in the celebratory phase". The others screamed in agreement.


    Then she distributed the wine to all of them before they all clicked glasses in a toast.


    The servant left after Chen Lihua asked her to leave since there was nothing left for her to do.


    After drinking the wine, they helped Chen Lihua to remove all the pins and hair clips used to style her hair. Then they helped her wipe her face with some wipes to remove her makeup before asking her to go and have a bath.


    Chen Lihua handed some fashion magazines to them to keep them busy before she went away.


    She emerged from her walk-in closet a few minutes since it had a door connecting to her bathroom. She didn''t take long in the bathroom, probably because she felt unrelaxed with having people in her room while having her bath.


    And she even came out dressed in a conservative set of pajamas. She also had her long flowing hair covered with a big scarf.


    Her friends stared at each other in disbelief as if asking what she was wearing.


    One of them brought out s.e.xy nightwear from the fancy bag she was carrying.


    Chen Lihua stared at her in shock.


    "Don''t look at me that way. You are not supposed to be dressed the way you are now. By the way, your mother asked me to give it to you". She said.


    Chen Lihua shook her head and said, "There''s no way in the world am wearing that".


    The girls looked at themselves before standing up as some of them dragged Chen Lihua back to her walk-in closet.


    Minutes later, they came out with a beautiful and s.e.xy looking Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua wore a singlet hand silk sky blue s.e.xy nightgown that showed off her cleavage and was above her knees to flatter her long slender legs.


    Even her long black hair now flowed like tresses behind her back. She looked extremely s.e.xy.


    Chen Lihua''s face was flushed red due to the exposure of the nightdress she was wearing, and because of the many hands that touched her body when she resisted them at first.


    "You look good now". One of them said with a smile.


    "Yes, you are perfectly ready to seduce your husband now". One of them teased as they others erupted in laughter.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t even be angry at them as they made fun of her because they were her close friends from high school.

 Chapter 185 - We are on a mission.

    "You look good now", one of them said with a smile.


    "Yes, you are perfectly ready to seduce your husband now", one of them teased as they others erupted in laughter.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t even be angry at them as they made fun of her because they were her close friends from high school.


    "Thank you, you all have to leave now. You''ve overstayed your welcome", Chen Lihua said as she pushed her hair behind her left ear.


    One of them looked at her unbelievably and said, "Wow! You are already chasing us out because you can''t wait to be with your husband.


    Chen Lihua didn''t bother to refute her words because even if she did, it wouldn''t change a thing as they will believe that she actually wanted to have an alone time with her husband, and so couldn''t wait to chase them away.


    "Since you know, why don''t you hurry up and leave", Chen Lihua said, chasing them away.


    The girls smiled and tactfully stood up to leave since they had partly done what they came for. So it was now time to leave Chen Lihua in other to face the next task. And that was the reason they agreed to leave without delay.


    The oblivious Chen Lihua was already thankful to God, since her friends were able to leave without causing more troubles to her without knowing that more was on the way.


    Outside her room, Chen Lihua saw a servant walking along the hallway, so she asked the servant to send her guests off as she couldn''t do so herself because she was wearing something embarrassing.


    So how could she go downstairs looking like that allowing the servants in the house to see her like that when she was already ashamed of herself while talking to just one servant.


    Her friends told her that they could find their way themselves. But Chen Lihua refused to say that she was actually supposed to send them off, but they made it impossible because of the way they had her dress in.


    So they could only listen to her. But then, they told her that they were concerned for her, and wanted to see her go into the room before leaving. So Chen Lihua had no choice but to listen to them.


    Who told Chen Lihua to be deceived by her friends? Once she entered Liu Longwei''s room as that was the room she was supposed to spend the night in, her friends immediately told the servant not to bother them as they were on a mission.


    The servant became confused as she watched them stand in front of her Master''s door and wondered what kind of mission they would be carrying out there.


    What made her even confused was that she didn''t know if she should leave them there by themselves, or stay to watch them.


    In the end, she chose to stay and watch them.


    Once Chen Lihua entered the room, any other thing happening outside the walls of the room were useless to her because she couldn''t hear or see it.


    Since Liu Longwei''s room was used as the bridal room, it was decorated with a double-happiness symbol on the wall above his bed, and with other appropriate decorations at the right places.


    A red Dragon and Phoenix symbol could be seen on the bed sheets on the bed. Then the bed was scattered with red dates, peanuts, Logan, and lotus seeds.


    The room was lit with a Dragon and Phoenix candle. There were two gold cups that were tied together, it was filled with their nuptial wine.


    Chen Lihua stared at the room in amazement as her heartbeat increased by just thinking of what will happen on the bed in a few minutes or hour time.


    But then she calmed herself because the highest thing that could happen that night was just a make-out section and not the real deal because Liu Longwei had already promised her that he wouldn''t touch her till their wedding (white) night.


    Just then, her thoughts changed as she stared at the dress she was wearing and wondered if she went overboard with it. She felt bad thinking that Liu Longwei would be seduced by her dressing and then break his promise. Since this day was their Chinese wedding night, there would be some emotions to show, so she decided to go back to her room to change out of the ridiculous dress she was putting on.


    But when she opened the door to the room and saw something unexpected. She saw the back view of the same ladies that she thought would have been on their way to their various houses and hotel rooms, standing and backing the door.


    As the door opened, the ladies turned with a smile to see Chen Lihua looking at them with shock, as if she had just see vampires standing before her. But then, they didn''t care what thoughts she had because they all waved their fingers at her saying "Hi!" with beautiful smiles on their faces.


    Chen Lihua was so shocked that she banged the door on their faces before leaning on the door to catch her breath.


    ''What are they still doing here?'' She asked herself.


    After catching her breath, she composed herself before opening the door again to ask the same question she asked herself a few seconds ago.


    One of them answered her with a smile while making slight movements with her body.


    "We are on a mission. So just go back into the room to wait for your dear husband to come and caress your beautiful body", that one said, ending her sentence with a seductive look and gesture as the others smiled.


    Chen Lihua ignored the second sentence since her brain was already captured by the first statement.


    So she asked them with furrowed brows, "What mission are you guys here for? Did my mother give you any mission to accomplish?"


    "Not at all, this mission is what normal bridesmaids and friends will do on your traditional wedding night. And we are not telling you what the mission is unless you want to stay here and gist with us as your servants have their eyes glued on your body". One of them said looking up and down Chen Lihua''s body with a suggestive smile.


    Chen Lihua frantically shook her head negatively as she made the motion of closing the door.


    Halfway closing the door, she suddenly brought her head out and asked them gently, for fear that she would be rejected.


    "Can I at least change out of this ridiculous nightwear? Take a look at it, it doesn''t feel right".


    But unfortunately for her, she was first rejected before they even started explaining to her.


    "No!" All of them chorused immediately they heard that she wanted to change out of the s.e.xy nightdress.


    "You look beautiful in it, so hurry back to your room, or should we come in to keep you company?" One of them asked with her hands on her waist as she licked her lips in a suggestive manner.


    Chen Lihua shivered as she felt that all her friends were rotten to the core with one been worse than the other.


    "Keep me company your head!" Chen Lihua said in anger. Then she said to the servant she managed to see from the little gap between the ladies, "Watch them, and ensure they don''t go beyond their boundaries".


    And after saying that, Chen Lihua put her head back into the room before closing the door after rolling her eyes at her friends.


    Her friend smiled at her actions and blew kisses towards the door while shouting excitedly, "We love you!"

 Chapter 186 - He couldnt wait to hug her soft body.

    "Watch them, and ensure they don''t go beyond their boundaries".


    And after saying that, Chen Lihua put her head back into the room before closing the door after rolling her eyes at her friends.


    Her friends smiled at her actions and blew kisses towards the door while shouting excitedly, "We love you!"


    Chen Lihua sat on the couch in the room as she didn''t even dare to seat on the bed because of the dates, lotus seeds, and other seeds that symbolized fruitfulness that were scattered on the bed.


    So she sat on the sofa to wait for her husband for fear of doing something against the tradition.


    She didn''t even dare to ask her mother if she could sleep on the bed without Liu Longwei because, with her personality, she would change the topic to another thing.


    As for asking her mother-in-law, she was more than embarrassed to do so.


    Asking those terrible friends that were still guarding the door would be disastrous and will cost her peace.


    She shook her head and continued sitting on the bed while allowing her mind to reminisce on the day''s activities since sleep had long disappeared from her eyes.


    As for Liu Longwei, he ended up entertaining his friends for more than 30 minutes before sending them away the moment they finished drinking the three bottles of wine.


    Since the wine they drank had a moderate alcoholic content, Liu Longwei still sent his bodyguards to drive them home even though none amongst them were drunk.


    Wu Bohai still wanted to cause trouble and blame it on the wine, but he was stopped before he could do so.


    Thinking about his bride who was waiting for him, Liu Longwei smiled contentedly before walking up the stairs as he couldn''t wait to hug her soft body.


    When he caught sight of the young women standing in front of his room door, smiling and whispering to each other, he narrowed his eyes and paused in his steps.


    ''Why didn''t anyone tell me that these women were still here?'' He asked himself before continuing in his steps.


    Hearing the steady approaching footsteps, those ladies stopped talking and looked up with a smile when they saw Liu Longwei.


    "Hello, Mr. Liu" They greeted him cheerfully.


    Liu Longwei stood in front of them and nodded in response to their greetings before asking in a polite manner since they were his wife''s friends from high school.


    "Do you need anything from me?" He asked as he looked at each and every one of them.


    His mind had been running with questions like ''Why are they blocking the door to my room?''


    "Yes", one of them answered, as another explained. "You need to pay up before you can see your bride, otherwise you can forget about entering the room".


    "Pay up?" Liu Longwei asked in confusion raising one eyebrow since he didn''t understand what they were talking about.


    Just then, the housekeeper walked over on seeing her Master''s face with confusion written all over it and decided to explain to him since he heard their conversation.


    "Sir, it''s a normal game played by the bridesmaids, female relatives, and friends of the bride on the wedding night. So you have to give them money before they will allow you to see Madam".


    "Oh". Liu Longwei said before putting his hands inside his pocket and brought out two bundles of money.


    Since they wanted money, Liu Longwei would give it to them, as long as he could see his wife after that.


    One of the ladies stretched her hands to collect the two big bundles of money, as others cheered excitedly.


    They thanked Liu Longwei with smiles on their faces before moving away from the door. Then without looking back, they left the place.


    Liu Longwei sighed after he saw them disappear.


    Then he opened the door to his room and went inside, only for him to be greeted with a beautiful sight.


    His beautiful wife was dressed in a s.e.xy nightdress. The nightdress was short, thus exposing her fair laps. Next, he looked at her enchanting face and saw those pretty sets of eyes staring at him in embarrassment.


    His eyes roamed around her body, then he saw that her black long hair was let down, making her look like a Goddess.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t stand the way Liu Longwei was looking at her. She felt that if she didn''t say anything soon, he would stare a hole in her body.


    So she explained her situation immediately so he wouldn''t think that she purposely dressed to seduce him.


    "The girls had me dress this way. And they didn''t let me change out of the clothes, they even blocked the door, so I had no choice than to stay in here". Chen Lihua explained.


    Seeing that he didn''t say anything, she stood up from the couch while saying, "Since you are here, it means they are gone. Let me change out of this dress, I''ll be right back".


    "No need. Wait for me, I am going to take a shower". Liu Longwei said as he walked into the bathroom with a look of indifference. But only he knew how happy he was.


    Chen Lihua sat back down on the couch to wait for him as he said.


    ''Ah! Chen Lihua Chen Lihua, you are so naive. How could you listen to a wolf asking you to wait for him? He was indirectly asking you to wait, so he could devour you, and you waited. Tsk tsk''.


    Liu Longwei came out from the bathroom in 10 minutes'' time, dressed in a white robe. His firm chest was exposed. Then around his neck, hung the chain necklace when Lihua bought for him.


    Chen Lihua watched him walk to her and sit beside her as his manly scent filled the room.


    "Let''s drink the wine first, then we can go to bed". Liu Longwei said, removing the lids from the cups.


    Chen Lihua thought he meant going to sleep, so her mind relaxed as they drank the wine from the gold cups tied together.


    ''Chen Lihua, if he said going to sleep, then he really meant going to sleep. But since he said going to bed, then it has another meaning (wink).


    After drinking the wine, it was time to lie on the bed. But there was no way they can do that without removing the fertility seeds on the bed.


    So Liu Longwei helped Chen Lihua to gather them before putting them onto the tray on the table.

 Chapter 187 - Did I promise you anything?.

    After drinking the wine, it was time to lie on the bed. But there was no way they can do that without removing the fertility seeds on the bed.


    So Liu Longwei helped Chen Lihua to gather them before putting them onto the tray on the table.


    Chen Lihua sat on one side of the bed before lying on it. Liu Longwei did the same as well.


    Liu Longwei was met with Chen Lihua''s back. With the duvet covering their bodies, they both stayed silent for a while.


    Suddenly, Liu Longwei turned Chen Lihua''s body to face him, and that made her scared out of her wits.


    Seeing the scared look on her face, Liu Longwei smiled. Then he leaned in close to her body before capturing her lips and giving her a gentle kiss.


    Chen Lihua could taste the sweetness of the wine in her mouth, and so she forgot to resist as she allowed him to kiss her to his heart''s content.


    With her eyes closed, Chen Lihua became carried away by the kiss and didn''t know when she started responding to his kisses.


    Liu Longwei''s eyes were half-closed which allowed him to see Chen Lihua''s facial expressions.


    Liu Longwei''s hand slowly slid into the duvet, before reaching out to her bare legs. Next, he moved his fingers from her legs up to her thighs. And this jolted Chen Lihua and made her shiver, causing her to pause in her kisses, as her eyes fluttered open.


    Liu Longwei also stopped kissing her when he noticed her movements. And as he stared at her teary eyes, he became more infatuated with her looks.


    "Sweetheart, I don''t think I can hold it in anymore", Liu Longwei confessed before he brought his hand to caress her inner thigh.


    Chen Lihua loudly m.o.a.ned out, unknowingly. But she covered her mouth with her palms in shame after the noise she made as she began to pounder on Liu Longwei''s words.


    Liu Longwei grinned when he heard Chen Lihua''s m.o.a.n. He brought his hand out from her inner thighs before sitting up on the bed.


    He then loosened the ropes of his robes before removing the whole thing. Now he was left only in his briefs.


    Chen Lihua blushed when her eyes came in contact with his firm chest, then her eyes glanced down to see his triceps and firm abs. But her eyes dare not look further down for fear of what she would see next.


    "Do you like what you are seeing?" Liu Longwei asked with a smirk when he caught her staring at his body.


    Chen Lihua nodded, then shook her head.


    "What''s actually your type?" Liu Longwei asked as he began to unclothe her night robe.


    "Well, I''ve always admired men with well-built bodies. And it''s been my wish to date and marry someone who has a nice well-built body with firm muscles and not just a pretty face", Chen Lihua answered with her melodious voice.


    "Your wish actually came through because I have everything you wished for. And to crown it all, I am your husband", Liu Longwei said with a smile as he helped Chen Lihua to sit up on the bed.


    Chen Lihua blushed. And when she came out of her stupor, she was now left in her see-through nightdress.


    The nightdress was a singlet hand silk sky blue lacy s.e.xy nightgown with a deep V-neck, so her cleavage was showing, coupled with the exposed body parts (her stomach and laps because the nightdress was made from lace).


    Chen Lihua immediately grabbed the duvet and tried to use it to cover her body because she felt that she was half-n.a.k.e.d.


    But Liu Longwei was seconds ahead of her because he flung the entire duvet off her body, thus exposing her s.e.xy long slender legs.


    "Longwei what are you doing?" Chen Lihua asked in panic as she became afraid of the way he stared at her body.


    It looked like he would devour her completely in the next minute if care wasn''t taken.


    Liu Longwei knelt facing her on the bed as he gently grabbed her face before kissing her lips softly.


    "Am preparing to sleep with you", Liu Longwei answered casually after he left her lips.


    Chen Lihua became frightened and said heavily, "No you can''t do that! Don''t forget your promise?"


    "Did I promise you anything? But I don''t seem to remember a thing", Liu Longwei inquired perplexedly as he pretended not to remember.


    "You...you...." Chen Lihua was speechless as she didn''t know what to say to the shameless man who had his thoughts on the shameful thing.


    Liu Longwei grinned as he mimicked her, "You....you... What?"


    When Chen Lihua found out that he was pulling her legs (joking with her), she began to hit his chest while saying, "You Liar. You promised not to do that thing with me till after our white wedding".


    Liu Longwei caught her hands. Then feigning ignorant, he asked, "Which thing?"


    Chen Lihua couldn''t hit him now that her hands were caught. So she could only stare at him angrily without saying a word.


    "If you don''t say it, then I will really do what I have in mind to you", Liu Longwei said to her with a teasing smile.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t stand that look he gave her. And besides, she wasn''t ready for s.e.x, so she could only grit her teeth and say it.


    "You promised not to have s.e.x with me till after our white wedding, so don''t you dare go back on your promise".


    Liu Longwei stared at her for some seconds before erupting in laughter.


    Chen Lihua struggled to take her hands back from his grasp as she asked, "What''s so funny?"


    "Nothing. But you need to stop struggling because your whole body is on display now". Liu Longwei said, signaling her to take a look at her exposed body parts.


    Thus, Chen Lihua looked down to see that her black lace panties were on display. So she hurriedly struggled to get her hands released before pulling her nightdress to cover her panties with a flushed face.


    Liu Longwei smiled before saying seriously, "Don''t mind me, I was joking with you. I won''t have s.e.x with you until the appointed time. But you have to satisfy me tonight as I can''t let your friends dress you up for nothing. And if I don''t gain a little benefit from you this night, I will definitely regret it later". Grinning as he said the last bit.


    Chen Lihua cursed those friends of hers under her breath. Now she would be the one to suffer from their handiwork.

 Chapter 188 - Kicked off the bed.

    "But you have to satisfy me tonight as I can''t let your friends dress you up for nothing. And if I don''t gain a little benefit from you this night, I will definitely regret it later". Grinning as he said the last bit.


    Chen Lihua cursed those friends of hers under her breath. Now she would be the one to suffer from their handiwork.


    "What do you want?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he helped her to lay with her back down on the bed lying beside her as he cuddled her body.


    "Allow me to touch you. Then you have to touch me back". He said.


    "What kind of logic is that? Why do I have to touch you? Did I ask you to touch me?" Chen Lihua asked in confusion, as she couldn''t understand him.


    "That''s the condition for not making love to you right now. So you have to comply", Liu Longwei said shamelessly.


    "Not sleeping with me is a promise you made to me. So what has it got to do with me touching you and you touching me?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "It doesn''t matter. What matters now is what I want", Liu Longwei said with a demonic smile on his face.


    "Besides, you can use this opportunity to learn new things about my body, because I''m definitely not letting you off on our wedding night", Liu Longwei said and immediately pounced on her.


    So Chen Lihua didn''t have the opportunity to refute his words before he blocked her lips with his, then he started getting touchy with her.


    When her lips were finally released, she said in muffled breathing, "Longwei, Slow down, I''m not running away".


    ''How long have you been starved?'' Chen Lihua asked herself because Liu Longwei was behaving as if he has been starved for long, and which was actually true.


    "Ok", Liu Longwei answered absentmindedly as he began to undress her.


    "Longwei, stop!" Chen Lihua said due to shock and embarrassment, almost screaming.


    Liu Longwei paused in his actions as he looked at her with a smile, "I like the way you call my name so intimately. It turns me on more".


    As he finished speaking, he made a motion of removing Chen Lihua''s dress that was already at her waist level, but Chen Lihua stopped him.


    "At least switch off the lights before you continue. I am still not used to all these, I am incredibly embarrassed", Chen Lihua said finally after coming to the conclusion that she wouldn''t be able to escape from him tonight.


    Liu Longwei groaned softly before standing up to switch off the lights, leaving the table lamps on. When he returned to the bed, he dimmed them.


    "Better?" Liu Longwei asked as he got into the bed, hoping that she wouldn''t request for anything when he was in the middle of pleasure.


    "Mmmm". Chen Lihua made a sound of affirmation.


    Liu Longwei then smiled before leaning close to her. He knelt down beside her on the bed, holding the back of her head, he kissed her passionately.


    Chen Lihua could feel the love he had for her through his kisses. So she didn''t resist him anymore.


    She even kissed him back and took the initiative to hug his neck, and this made him become more proactive with his kisses.


    In between the kisses, Chen Lihua felt the neck chain on his neck and asked, "You are wearing the chain I bought for you?"


    "Mmm". Liu Longwei confirmed.


    After kissing her lips for a while, he removed her dress, leaving her in her black lacy panties.


    Chen Lihua used her hands to cover her chest, but Liu Longwei removed them saying, "Allow me to take a look at my wife''s beautiful body".


    Chen Lihua allowed him to do whatever he wanted.


    Twenty minutes later, Liu Longwei got kicked off the bed. With the reason that he wanted to eat Chen Lihua''s forbidden fruit with his mouth.


    And that was how the night ended.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua pretended to be asleep as she listened for little movements in the room because she felt so ashamed and didn''t know how to face the man.


    Liu Longwei rolled off the bed after staring at the woman''s stiff back. He had been watching her for a while now. But seeing that she didn''t plan on getting up, he let her be for the meantime.


    He entered the bathroom and came back into the room dressed in his sports attire after some minutes.


    "Lihua I know you''re awake. So stop pretending and come with me for a little work out section", Liu Longwei said as he stared at the woman who had her whole body covered with the duvet.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even bother to answer him as she continued to lay motionless with the duvet over her head.


    Seeing and hearing no movement from her after a while, Liu Longwei sighed before walking to her side of the bed. He removed the duvet over her head and left it on her shoulder level before leaving the room.


    Chen Lihua opened her eyes after she ascertained that the coast was clear. She sighed in relief as she sat up on the bed.


    She did a five-minute yoga meditation before going to her room to wash up.


    She went to the kitchen after that to prepare breakfast for Liu Longwei as it was a tradition to prepare breakfast for her in-laws the next morning at her wedding.


    But since she was at Liu Longwei''s villa, there was no need to prepare breakfast for the whole family, and besides, Liu Longwei will never allow her to do that. Her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law wouldn''t allow her as well. So she just prepared Chinese style breakfast for her and Liu Longwei alone.


    Back at Chen''s Villa, Lady Chen came down happily to have her breakfast when she saw an unexpected scene.


    Someone was seating at the breakfast table in black with a black hat on the head and with their back to her.


    "Who are you?" Lady Chen asked as she walked up to stand in front of the person after not receiving an answer.


    When she saw the person''s face, her face turned ashen white as her breathing became haggard.


    "You..." Lady Chen Managed to say as her heart throbbed painfully.


    The last thing she remembered was the person rushing towards her in panic and calling out her name ''Ju Ju!'' before she fainted away.


    What would have made the healthy and lively Lady Chen panicky and faint so easily? And who did she see?.

 Chapter 189 - Hell will break loose.

    The last thing she remembered was the person rushing towards her in panic and calling out her name ''Ju Ju!'' before she fainted away.


    What would have made the healthy and lively Lady Chen panic-stricken and faint so easily? And who did she see?


    Lady Chen was lying on the bed in her room with a middle-aged doctor and a nurse beside her bed, looking after her.


    Lady Chen''s parents-in-law were also sitting on one side of her bed with an anxious and worried look on their faces.


    "We just went out for a morning walk and this type of thing happened. What happened to her?" Old Lady Chen asked the servants present in the room with a look of worry.


    "We don''t know what happened as well. Madam fainted immediately she saw the man sitting on the dining table". One of the female servants answered fearfully.


    Old Master Chen glanced at his daughter-in-law who has always been vibrant, lying on the bed with her eyes closed. The only thing that calmed him down was her chest that was still heaving up and down to show that she was still alive and breathing.


    As he watched the Intravenous drip connected to her wrist, he asked angrily, "What''s the identity of the man that would make her faint so easily?"


    The servant''s legs trembled as they knelt down saying in fear, "Old Master, we don''t the person".


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Since when did our Chen Family start letting strangers into the house?" The Old man asked while hitting his cane hard on the rug furiously.


    "It was Aunt Lin that let him in", one of the servants revealed with tears in her eyes. And as she couldn''t continue because of the sobs, another servant quickly interjected when she saw that the Old Lady and Old Master''s face didn''t look good.


    "Aunt Lin said he was her guest, and so told the security at the gate to let him in".


    "Chen Lin?" Old Lady Chen asked with a look of uncertainty on her face.


    "Yes Old Madam", a servant answered.


    Chen Lihua just celebrated her Chinese wedding ceremony yesterday, so some members of the family were still present.


    The reason Lady Chen was the only one present at the dining table when this incident happened was that she had an important meeting to oversee at the company, and so wanted to have an early breakfast before leaving the house.


    "Since Chen Lin is the culprit behind the scene, then what are you all waiting for? Go and drag her out for me", the Old Master Chen shouted in anger as his breathing became rapid.


    The servants hurriedly ran out to carry out his order. It''s not like they would actually drag Chen Lin out. They would only inform her that her father wanted to see her urgently.


    The Aunt Lin in question was currently applying makeup on her face while she glanced at herself in the mirror, admiring her youthful appearance while humming to an opera that was playing through her Bluetooth speaker.


    So with the song filling her room and lack of concentration, she was oblivious to the commotion she had caused. She was busy getting ready to show herself downstairs while being proud of what she has achieved.


    When the servants met her, she was already done applying her makeup.


    After listening to the servants, she asked, "Why is that old man suddenly looking for me? Did anything happen?" Aunt Lin asked as she looked at the servants in her room without a look of care.


    "Madam fainted after she met your guest. So old master called for you because of that", a servant answered respectfully.


    "What?!" Aunt Lin asked, looking very frightened.


    "How is she?" She asked again with a little fear in her voice.


    The servant explained the situation to her in detail and so, the look of fright on her face disappeared but only briefly. As it reappeared again when she remembered Chen Lihua''s face. She almost cried out as she wondered if she was possessed when she decided to help that person.


    Now she was in big trouble. She wondered if Chen Lihua has found out what she did. So she asked the servant anxiously, "Has Chen Lihua been informed?"


    The servant answered immediately with a ''No'', and this answer helped her to calm down a lot. But she started planning her escape since she felt that the Old Master Chen wouldn''t let her off. Or maybe the Old couple wouldn''t listen to her explanation.


    But her plans didn''t work out because she suddenly saw herself facing the Old Master Chen who was staring at her angrily. The look on his face showed that he would devour her in the nearest second.


    When the servants left, the doctor said to the old man, "Old Master Chen, the patient needs a lot of rest. She will be fine once she wakes up. So I suggest you should leave the room for now. And I recommend that you shouldn''t get agitated so easily because of your blood pressure".


    Old Master Chen looked at his daughter-in-law for the last time before leaving the room with his wife.


    As they walked down the stairs, Old Lady Chen asked worriedly, "Should we inform Lihua about her mother''s condition?"


    "There''s nothing to inform her about. The doctor already said that she isn''t in a critical condition and only needs to rest. And besides, Ju Ju wouldn''t want her to know about this incident", Old Master Chen said decisively.


    "That''s right, Lihua just got married yesterday, and it wouldn''t be right if we told her about this", Old Lady said.


    "Even before that, there is another more dangerous reason why she shouldn''t know about this", Old Master Chen said with furrowed brows.


    "What''s that?" Old Lady Chen asked curiously.


    "What do you think will happen when Lihua finds out that her aunt whom she''s already in bad terms with, caused her mother to be in this condition?" Old Master Chen asked taken a glance at his wife.


    Old Lady didn''t even need to think for a long time before she answered with a look of worry, "Hell will break loose".


    Old Master Chen nodded and said to her, "Let''s hurry because I need to find out the identity of the guest that caused this kind of commotion and teach that brat a lesson.


    So the old couple hastened their steps.

 Chapter 190 - Mr. Chen is back.

    Old Master Chen nodded and said to her, "Let''s hurry because I need to find out the identity of the guest that caused this kind of commotion and teach that brat a lesson".


    So the old couple hastened their steps.


    In the living room, Old Master Chen stared daggers at Aunt Lin who was sitting on a couch opposite of him with a look of ignorance on her face.


    "Who was that guest you brought in?" Old Lady Chen asked with distress in her heart since her husband was probably too angry to speak, and still engaged in a staring contest with their daughter.


    Perhaps she thought she could speak first to break the ice and at the same moment, save time. Because the earlier they understand the situation, the faster they come to terms with it and know what to do.


    Aunt Lin''s heartbeats escalated. But she maintained a look of the facade on her face, trying not to give anything out.


    "Didn''t you hear your mother''s question?!" Old Master Chen asked angrily.


    "It is better you two don''t know because if you do, you may join Ju Ju where she is", Aunt Lin said still with a look of arrogance.


    "What sort of nonsense are you spewing from that mouth of yours? So you even know the condition of your sister-in-law?" Old Master Chen asked in disbelief before he continued, "If you didn''t want us to know about it, why then did you invite your guest into the house?"


    "That''s right. You''d better answer my question. If not for our early morning walk, we would have met this person. So hurry up and answer us". Old Lady Chen said as she too became angry, wondering what was wrong with her daughter.


    "Don''t ask me, I''ve already told you I won''t divulge any information to you. So you two had better give up, because the earlier you do, the better for you", Aunt Lin said her piece and stood up from the couch, attempting to leave.


    The Old Master''s eyes became red due to the anger that had been boiling in his heart. He stood up and pointed his cane at her and said in a threatening tone, "If you don''t want to be buried alive at this instance, you''d better not take another step".


    Aunt Lin stopped in her steps as she said to her father angrily, "Old Man you''d better not curse me. Do you think I am still that little princess of yours? Let me tell you now, I am a grown-ass woman with a child, and I get millions from my business every month. So you''d better watch the way you talk to me. I am not telling you anything".


    "You foolish girl!" Old Master Chen shouted furiously.


    "Lin how dare you to talk to your father like that!" Old Lady Chen said as she stood up to pat the old man''s back before helping him to sit as well.


    Aunt Lin folded her hands as she threw her face to one side without a care in the world.


    "I don''t blame you, I blame myself for raising you this way", the Old Lady Chen said looking at her angrily.


    "If you know what is good for you, tell me the identity of the guest you brought into the house that does not belong to you and has no authority over, that caused your sister-in-law to be in the condition she is in currently?" The Old Master Chen said, still insisting on knowing the identity of the stranger.


    Aunt Lin snickered as she said, moving her hands in the demonstration.


    "First of all, this is my brother''s house, and I think am free to do as I please in his house. You two want to put me in trouble? I am not telling you anything. JuJu is lying on the bed because of my guest''s identity, and you still want me to tell you who the person is, so you can join her and lie on the bed with doctors and nurses to look over you, and with your family watching you with worry? I am not saying a damn thing. If you want answers to your questions, wait for Ju Ju to wake up. Then maybe she can tell you. If you want, I can keep saying it over and over again. I will not say anything. You want Chen Lihua who has always been watching me with one eye, to send me behind bars?"


    "You are very shameless! Why didn''t you think twice before causing trouble? Now you have achieved your aim, and now you are trying to run away? Something must be wrong with you", Old Lady Chen said pointing at her angrily.


    "Now I know why you''re still not married even though you have a child. It''s because no man dares to tolerate this terrible behavior of yours. How do you want a man to bring you into his house with this terrible attitude of yours? You will definitely annoy him to death. Any man that dares to marry you definitely wants to cut his life span short". Old Master Chen said to her.


    Aunt Lin''s eyes became reddened with tears hearing her father''s words.


    "How could you talk about my relationship status? How is it your business? Did I ask for your opinion?" Aunt Lin said before leaving angrily.


    The old couple watched her leave their sight with an ugly countenance on their faces.


    That same hour, Aunt Lin packed her things and left the house with her daughter.


    Others might think she left because of the hurtful words that Old Master Chen said to her, but that was not so.


    Aunt Lin literally fled for her life under the disguise of the hurtful words her father said to her.


    She was afraid that if she spent a minute more in that house, Chen Lihua would come to deal with her. So she merely utilized the opportunity that came running to ask for a hug from her, to run for her dear life.


    As Aunt Lin crossed the gates of Chen Villa, she breathed a sigh of relief as she cleaned the fake tears in her eyes. Next, a smile appeared on her face.


    She packed her car by the roadside and exchanged seats with her daughter as she went to relax at the front passenger seat.


    She picked up her phone and dialed a number. Once was all it took for the receiver to answer the call.


    "How is she?" The person asked with a tinge of worry in his voice, without allowing Aunt Lin to speak first.


    "Well, I don''t know because I didn''t get the opportunity to check for myself before I ran away for my life. But from the Old man''s words, she''s still unconscious", Aunt Lin answered.


    She held the phone between her ear and shoulder as she brought out a bubble gun from her handbag before popping it into her mouth and chewing it.


    The person on the other side sighed before saying, "It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have gone to meet her".


    "Yes, it''s your fault. You should have listened to me, now in your haste, you almost put me into trouble. You''d better start praying that you would be able to make a comeback in this second life you are living in", Aunt Lin said.


    "Why do you say so?" The person asked in concern.


    "Your daughter is the biggest obstacle you have. Just imagine what would happen if she finds out that her dear mother is in that condition, and that too because of you. Both of us will be finished. You know she hates you already?" Aunt Lin said as she stared hard at her daughter, asking her to concentrate on the road while giving her signs with her eyes.


    "Where are you now?" The man asked.


    "I am on my way to my condominium. If I''d stayed a second later in that Villa, I would have been forced to divulge our secret. Now I''ve become an enemy to the family just because I am helping you", Aunt Lin responded.


    She made a sound with her gum before assuring him, "You don''t need to panic because nobody will tell Lihua about her mother''s condition. So you still have another chance, make good use of it. I am just worried that your wife will come for me when she regains consciousness because she will know I had a hand in this".


    "Am sorry for putting you in this predicament", the person apologized.


    "Chen K you are my brother, there''s no need for an apology between us because you helped me in my dire state. Now it''s my turn to help you. I promise to help you reunite with your family even if everyone sees me as an enemy".


    "Lin thank you so much", Chen K said gratefully.


    "Mmmm, bye". Aunt Lin said before terminating the call.


    The reason she wasn''t panicking was that she was convinced that Chen Lihua will not find out because Lady Chen wouldn''t tell her even if she told the others, and the others wouldn''t dare to tell Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 191 - Liu Longwei walked away embarrassingly.

    "Mmmm, bye". Aunt Lin said before terminating the call.


    The reason she wasn''t panicking was that she was convinced that Chen Lihua will not find out because Lady Chen wouldn''t tell her even if she told the others, and the others wouldn''t dare to tell Chen Lihua.


    Liu Longwei''s Villa.


    During breakfast, Chen Lihua''s eyes didn''t dare to meet Liu Longwei''s, because she was still embarrassed at what happened last night.


    She didn''t believe that Liu Longwei would want to put his mouth on her honey trap.


    So it came as a shock to her when he licked her hotspot with his tongue.


    Earlier, she was carried away by pleasure, and so had her eyes closed to enjoy the pleasurable sensation she was feeling.


    It was when she felt something wet and cool glide through her hotspot that she knew that something was wrong, so she struggled to pull herself out from the brink of ecstasy.


    But unfortunately for Liu Longwei, he was kicked off the bed by a powerful kick from Chen Lihua the next minute without any prior notice, he was actually caught off guard.


    When Liu Longwei found himself on the floor, he felt his pride as a man was lost as the pleasure he felt early suddenly disappeared into thin air. So he stared at Chen Lihua, but not angrily as he stood to his feet.


    Chen Lihua''s mouth was agape, and her eyeballs widened in shock as she didn''t expect her kick to be so powerful that it would directly land her muscular husband on the floor.


    As she looked at her husband who had a hurtful look on his face while staring at her, she felt so bad and guilty for she knew she did something wrong.


    When Liu Longwei fell off the bed, Chen Lihua sat up, revealing her n.a.k.e.d body. But the lights in the room were dim, so Liu Longwei couldn''t see much.


    Chen Lihua wrapped her body with the duvet and apologised with a soft tone, "I am sorry. I didn''t mean to kick you off the bed".


    Liu Longwei who was still in his briefs stared at her for a while before sighing and turning around to enter into the washroom.


    Chen Lihua watched his back disappear into the washroom and became confused. She didn''t even know if he has forgiven her or not because he didn''t reply to her.


    She couldn''t even sleep because she was still wet in-between her legs as a result of the passion and ecstasy she felt during the make-out. So she felt uncomfortable and thus, needed a bath.


    She climbed down from the bed and picked up her clothes. Next, she looked around. And when she saw the coast was clear, she removed the duvet from her body, revealing her n.a.k.e.d body. She then quickly wore her panties and nightdress before disappearing to her room.


    As for Liu Longwei, he let the water from the showerhead splash on his head and down to his body. Suddenly, he let out a chuckle on remembering Chen Lihua''s frightened face when she pushed him off the bed.


    He would be lying if he said he wasn''t shocked with the speed his wife used in kicking him off the bed. He would surely become a laughing stock amongst his friends when they learn of it. And thus, he couldn''t let them find out.


    After having her bath, Chen Lihua changed out of the s.e.xy night dress she was putting on earlier to a more conservative one-piece nightdress least she dared the sleeping tiger again.


    She was almost tempted to spend the rest of the night in her bedroom than to go back to Liu Longwei''s bedroom, probably too disturbed with fear of facing his angry or unhappy look.


    But she managed to get herself out of that thought in time.


    By the time she made her way back to Liu Longwei''s bedroom, Liu Longwei was already out, looking refreshed as he stared at the empty bed.


    Liu Longwei thought that she had run away when he was met with an empty bed. So when he saw her, he calmed down a whole lot.


    Looking at her different nightdress he could tell that she had just had her bath. He stared at her hair which had already been styled up in a bun before saying the word "Sleep", as he walked to his side of the bed.


    Chen Lihua did the same as well.


    And that was how they spent the rest of the night.


    Seeing Chen Lihua lost in thought with a flushed face, Liu Longwei asked, "What are you thinking about while eating?"


    Chen Lihua left her thoughts and answered after taking a glance at him, "Nothing" as she continued to eat.


    How could she dare to tell him how shocked she was while having her bath?


    She saw faint red marks littered all over her body, and that alone caused her to be enveloped in shame.


    Thank God for clothes otherwise, she wouldn''t have the guts to face anybody ever again.


    After eating, Liu Longwei saw the faint red marks around her neck, so he walked closer to her before touching them with his hand.


    As he was about to ask what happened to her neck, he suddenly recalled how he repeatedly kissed her neck last night, and so he cleared his throat before walking away without saying anything.


    Chen Lihua was really speechless and wondered the reason for his action while touching her neck.


    And because she was curious to know what Liu Longwei saw on her neck that made him touch it before walking away embarrassingly without saying anything, she went into her room immediately to look at the spot he touched in the mirror.


    Chen Lihua was flushed red with embarrassment as she touched the kiss marks Liu Longwei left on her neck. She started cursing him and only stopped when she felt better. Then she used a concealer to cover the faint mark left as an aftermath of their actions, the previous night.

 Chapter 192 - Lady Chens heart palpitations.

    Chen Lihua was flushed red with embarrassment as she touched the kiss marks Liu Longwei left on her neck. She started cursing him and only stopped when she felt better. Then she used a concealer to cover the faint mark left as an aftermath of their actions, the previous night.


    Back at the Chen Villa, after the devastated Aunt Lin left crying with her daughter, Old Master Chen asked Butler Li to make a call to Lady Chen''s assistant so he could reschedule the meeting at the company, with the excuse that Lady Chen was down with a fever.


    An hour later, Lady Chen woke up.


    At first, when she regained consciousness, she didn''t open her eyes. Instead, she had her eyes closed as she listened to her surroundings. She could hear the sound coming from the heart monitor in the room, and the sound caused by the dripping drops of the drip connected to her vein.


    Lady Chen has a sharp hearing, and thus very sensitive to sounds, and Chen Lihua got that trait from her.


    When she blinked her eyes open, she looked around her surroundings and found out that she was in her room and lay on her bed.


    Haven taken in her surroundings, she helped herself into a sitting position in which she did with difficulty because of the syringe connected to her hand.


    Lady Chen Leaned on the pillow and became lost in thought to the incident that transpired that morning.


    She couldn''t believe that that man was not dead after the news of the plane crash 5 years ago.


    Then she began to ask herself a series of questions, ''What happened 5 years ago? Why is he only coming back now?''.....


    Lost in thought, she didn''t know when the doctor came in with the nurse and servant behind him.


    "Mrs. Chen.....Mrs. Chen", the doctor called till Lady Chen turned to look at him, as the servant placed the glass of water on a glass stool beside the bed.


    Seeing that he had finally gotten her attention, the middle-aged man who was the Chen family''s doctor smiled as he approached her while taking a look at the heart rate monitor.


    "How do you feel now Mrs. Chen? Are you in any discomfort?" The doctor asked her concernedly.


    "I feel ok now". Lady Chen answered with her normal voice as she stared at the doctor with a slight smile.


    "That''s good". The doctor said with a smile before signaling the nurse with his eyes.


    The nurse picked up the glass of water before passing it to Lady Chen while saying with a polite smile, "Mrs. Chen, please have a drink".


    Lady Chen drank up to half of the water in the glass before passing it back to the nurse, and the nurse passed the glass cup to the servant for her to send it away.


    The doctor adjusted the drip so it could drop faster now before looking at her and saying in a serious tone.


    "Mrs. Chen, you fainted because you were too agitated, it caused your heart to beat too hard and fast, thus causing you to faint. You shouldn''t let this type of occurrence happen again as it would be fatal to your heart. Your heart has already suffered a major shock and palpitation 5 five years ago, and now it has suffered a similar one. So you have to be careful with your health. I will prescribe some drugs for you, and give you some diet routine and exercises you have to follow".


    Heart palpitations may be serious or not. It makes you feel like your heart is beating too slow or fast, or even skipping a beat or fluttering. It can be noticed in your chest, throat, or neck-through the blood vessels connected to the heart.


    This condition can be bothersome and frightening when it becomes very serious.


    Shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, weakness, and fainting are the major symptoms of this heart condition.


    In rare cases like Lady Chen''s, its palpitations can be a sign of a more serious condition.


    And some of the causes are:


    ? Strong emotions like anxiety, fear, or stress which often happens during panic attacks.


    ? Medical conditions, including a low blood sugar level, anemia, low blood pressure, fever, dehydration, etc.


    ? Medications, including diet pills, asthma inhalers, and some drugs used to prevent arrhythmia (a serious heart rhythm problem), etc.


    ? Abnormal electrolyte levels, etc.


    Lady Chen has been suffering from heart palpitations after the shock she experienced 5 years ago. And now it seemed that the ailment was showing signs of coming back due to a trigger.


    "Thank you, doctor". Lady Chen said.


    The doctor nodded before laying more emphasis on her diet, telling her to avoid fatty foods and to eat less of carbohydrates, as well as limit caffeinated and cholesterol-containing foods.


    The nurse removed the needle from Lady Chen''s hand on seeing that the drip had finished. Then she used cotton to clean the surface where she removed the needle, totally wiping out the small blood droplet that resulted from removing the needle.


    Just then, the old couple pushed the door open and came in.


    "Ju Ju, how are you? Are you ok now?" The Old Lady Chen said in a frenzied state as she rushed to the bed.


    "Mother you don''t have to worry, I am ok now". Lady Chen said with a smile.


    "That''s good", the Old Lady Chen said patting her chest as the look of worry on her face eased a whole lot.


    Old Master Chen also let out a breath he has been holding for a while now. Then he looked at the doctor and asked, "Doctor what happened to our daughter-in-law, is there anything we should look out for?"


    "She has...." The doctor had just opened his mouth to talk when Lady Chen cut him off.


    "Father, mother, there''s nothing wrong with me. The doctor has already prescribed some drugs for me".


    "What do you mean by ''there''s nothing wrong with you?''. How can you say there''s nothing wrong with you when you fainted from just from seeing a guest? By the way, who was that person that caused you to be in this state?" The Old Lady Chen asked with a frown.

 Chapter 193 - Lady Chen burst into tears.

    "What do you mean by ''there''s nothing wrong with you?''. How can you say there''s nothing wrong with you when you fainted from just seeing a guest? By the way, who was that person that caused you to be in this state?" The Old Lady Chen asked with a frown.


    Lady Chen had her mouth shut, refusing to say anything.


    Seeing that the doctor and the nurse were still there, the Old Master Chen calmed down a little because he was also interested in knowing the identity of the almighty guest that caused all these messes.


    As if the doctor got the sign, he gave the prescription to a servant and opened his mouth to caution Lady Chen before leaving, but Lady Chen knew what he wanted to do, so she caught him off again, saying that she would follow his prescription and diet plan.


    She kept cutting his words off because she didn''t want anyone to know to find out about her illness and start worrying about her.


    Haven gotten an avowal from her, the doctor felt reassured and left with the nurse.


    Old Master Chen relaxed slightly as Old Lady Chen asked the servants to bring in Lady Chen''s breakfast into her room, but Lady Chen rejected, saying she would go down for her breakfast.


    Old Master Chen asked her, "Do you have the strength to walk?"


    Lady Chen smiled as she got up from the bed saying, "Father, I am not that weak, and I can walk down the stairs, let''s go".


    So the Old couple and Lady Chen left for the dining table.


    At the dining table, Chen Lihua''s uncles sat down with their families as they waited for the Old couple and Lady Chen to come. Her mother''s elder sister left with her family after the wedding yesterday to a small property they had in City B as it was not far from the wedding venue.


    Seeing Lady Chen''s dull glimpse, her brother asked her with a slight frown on his face, oblivious to what had transpired that morning, "Ju Ju, why do your face look so dull?"


    "I think the wedding celebration took a toll on me. But you don''t have to worry, about me, the doctor came to see me and said that I was just tired and left after prescribing some drugs for me". Lady Chen replied as she sat on the head seat.


    "Ok, but you need to watch out for your health. Do not allow anything to weigh you down", her brother advised.


    Lady Chen nodded as the servants began to serve the dishes.


    Then Lady Chen''s eldest brother-in-law looked around the dining room. Not seeing his sister (Aunt Lin), he asked of her.


    Lady Chen also looked up with a frown and wondered where her troublesome sister-in-law went.


    Old Master Chen said without trying to hide the anger in his gaze, "Don''t mention anything about her. But if you must know about her, she left with her daughter early this morning", and refused to divulge any more information concerning that matter.


    After breakfast, Lady Chen''s brother left with his family to City A after saying their farewell.


    Lady Chen''s brother-in-laws left with their families later that same morning.


    As for the Old couple, they didn''t leave because Lady Chen asked them to stay till after Chen Lihua''s white wedding was over.


    Even without her telling them to stay, they wouldn''t even leave till they found out about that mysterious guest.


    After seeing her brother and brothers-in-law off with their families, Lady Chen made a call to assistant to settle the meeting time.


    The old couple was like flies hovering around Lady Chen. They kept monitoring her to see when she was less busy so they could talk to her.


    Now that Lady Chen was sitting on the couch in the living room lost in thought, they met her there.


    They sat down close to her and called her.


    "Ju Ju, since today you''ve been thinking about something we don''t know about. Is everything ok?" Old Lady Chen asked with a concerned look on her face.


    "Mother, am ok", Lady Chen answered.


    "Ju Ju, you are our daughter-in-law, and anything that bothers you disturbs us. Can you tell us the person that startled you into painting?" Old Master Chen said, going straight to the point.


    "Father, to tell you the truth, I can''t answer your question. But since you really want to know, I think you should ask Chen Lin since she''s the root of this problem". Lady Chen replied.


    "We asked her, but she refused to answer us, telling us to find out from you", Old Master Chen replied with a frown.


    "Father, if you really want to who that person is, then Chen Lin is the right person to ask because that person was her guest. She permitted him into this house", Lady Chen responded with a heavy tone.


    The old couple could sense that she was getting pissed off with their question, so they stopped questioning her.


    But the old man insisted on raising another question.


    "Do we know the identity of that person?" The Old Master Chen asked, pointing at himself and his wife.


    Lady Chen looked at them and sighed after a while before nodding her head slowly. Then she stood up from the couch and went away, saying that she had a headache, and so needed to rest.


    The old couple just nodded as they became deep in thought. Since Lady Chen had given them a clue, they had to exhaust their old brain to think of who that person may be.


    When Lady Chen went into her room, she locked the door behind her and sat on the couch in her room.


    It didn''t even take up to a minute before tears started to gush down her eyes. Then it was followed by little sobs.


    When her sobs got louder, she covered her mouth with her hand as she slipped off from the couch to the rugged floor.


    ''So he''s still alive? How come he didn''t contact me after all these years?'' Lady Chen thought to herself.


    "Chen K, how could you do this to me? Do you how much I''ve suffered all these years thinking you were gone? Do you know what I''ve passed through in all these years since you were gone?"


    As she asked these questions out loud, Lady Chen couldn''t control her emotions anymore as more tears flowed down her eyes and snot from the nose.


    Her face was totally in a mess. The one and only Lady Chen who was always vibrant and always had a smile on her face now had a different demeanor.

 Chapter 194 - Aunt Lin is scared of picking Lady Chens call.

    Her face was totally in a mess. The one and only Lady Chen who was always vibrant and always had a smile on her face now had a different demeanor. She was completely shattered and looked like a sobbing mess as she covered her mouth and cried, it produced a muffled sound. But then it didn''t take long for her to burst into tears.


    She cried uncontrollably with agony in her heart. Feeling pain in her heart, she clutched her chest and tried very hard to reduce the pace of her crying.


    As she cried, she remembered everything she had passed through all these years. She remembered the pains she went through, both emotional, psychological, and physical pains.


    Taking over the large company, and having to take care of everyone in the Chen Family. She no longer had time for herself for she had to work so hard for the company to show the board of directors that she, women are capable as well.


    Because of that time the board of directors which were mostly men who looked down women.


    They had wanted to vote against her becoming the successor of the Chen Group of companies, as they asked how she could manage such a big company that was worth billions of dollars.


    The reason they all doubted her capabilities was because Lady Chen was not very active in the Chen Company since she already had another job which she was overseeing.


    Old Master Chen made her the General Manager of a subsidiary company under the Chen group. That company was a production company that produced lots of beverages and other stuff.


    The old man also had lots of lands where he planted different kinds of fruits and other foodstuffs.


    So whenever the company wants to produce a beverage, they get their raw materials from the farmlands and from other places.


    The Board of Directors of Chen Group really belittled Lady Chen at that time not knowing that she had a very good prospect for business and that she sometimes helped her husband to sort some important things and decisions for the company.


    So if not for her husband''s will, she would have been overthrown.


    Her husband''s will stated that if anything should happen to him, she, ''Lady Chen'' will take over.


    After Lady Chen took over, she brought the company to greater heights, and all those men that belittled her then now have a great deal of respect for her.


    This doesn''t mean that her husband didn''t have such capabilities, but there was a difference.


    The only thing that kept Lady Chen going was her family and then the company which was her husband and father-in-law''s sweat.


    (Old Master Chen and Chen K''s companies merged).


    She had a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders, so she decided to make her time worthwhile by working her ass off.


    Now learning that the person she went through all those trials and tribulations for is still alive, she just couldn''t take it. She cried her heart out. She still had to vent all her frustrations and pain.


    When she got tired from crying, and when no more tears seemed to be coming out from her tear glands, she went into her washroom to wash her face.


    As she washed her face, she stared at herself in the mirror. Seeing her red and puffy eyes, coupled with her red face, sighed and splashed water on her face again before patting it dry with a soft face towel.


    Walking back into her room, she picked up a face moisturizing cream and applied the little content she pressed out on her face.


    After crying, she felt better and decided to take a nap to recover the energy she spent on crying.


    When she woke up in the afternoon, she had her lunch alone since the old couple had already eaten.


    By now, Lady Chen''s face looked a lot better after taking a nap.


    After lunch, she made a phone call to Aunt Lin, but the woman didn''t dare to answer her call the second time after discovering that she (Lady Chen) was the caller.


    Aunty Lin was at a high-end Spa parlor, having a face mask applied to her face when her phone rang. After crying that morning, she felt that wrinkles had appeared on her face, so she rushed to the Spa after having her lunch.


    As her phone rang, one of the attendants passed her phone to her.


    Without checking the caller ID, she picked the call and answered first, "Hello" in her crisp voice which sounded like she was having a lot of fun.


    "Chen Lin we need to talk". That was all she heard for her to lose her prestigious composure.


    "Ah!" She screamed and jumped up as the face mask that was being rubbed on her face came unto her dress.


    Well, she was lucky that she had the shop''s apron wrapped on her body or she would have heard it hot.


    As for her phone, she managed to terminate the call before flinging it away because she was too fl.u.s.tered.


    The people attending to her all paused with their work and looked at her, wondering if there was a problem.


    "Mom, what''s the problem?" Her daughter who was also receiving the same treatment sat up and asked with a worried look.


    "Nothing", Aunt Lin said managing to pull herself together.


    Then with a fake smile, she told the workers to continue with their work that she was okay.


    So one of them picked up her phone, and only returned it to her after cleaning it.


    "Ma''am your phone is still working, but the screen is cracked", the attendant said after checking the phone out.


    "Thank you, leave it in my bag", Aunt Lin said before lying back on her comfy chair.


    Aunt Lin was really scared after hearing her sister-in-law''s voice. She must have woken up.


    ''She wants to talk to me? No way. Only when am mentally deranged will I go to see her and talk about my brother''.


    Aunt Lin didn''t even want to know the reason for the call before cutting it off because she was guilty.


    Aunt Lin''s daughter sighed before lying back on her chair as she didn''t know what had been going on with her mother for a few days now, or since she started noticing it.


    Lady Chen had to take the phone further away from her ear when she heard the ear-piercing scream and furrowed her eyebrows.


    The next time she looked at her phone after saying hello and not hearing a sound or getting any answer, her phone screen was blank.


    So she double-tapped the screen to make sure her battery didn''t die or her phone didn''t wreck, but her phone screen was on, displaying a selfie of her and Chen Lihua on the home screen.

 Chapter 195 - Moving into a new house.

    So she double-tapped the screen to make sure her battery didn''t die or her phone didn''t wreck, but her phone screen was on, displaying a selfie of her and Chen Lihua on the home screen.


    Lady Chen sneered and said to herself after discovering Chen Lin didn''t want to pick her call.


    "What! So you can be scared? That''s good, let''s leave it that way for now".


    Two days later.


    Chen Lihua was in the study answering a phone call. She spoke French in a relaxed tone. "Why do you have to ship the gown if it''s not ready?"


    The person replied, and she answered, "okay, I got it. So when are you arriving?"


    The person answered and she said with a smile, "No problem, I will prepare a place for you. You just notify me when your plane lands, then I will send a van to pick you guys up".


    The person said something before Chen Lihua replied with a ''Thank you, bye'', before ending the call.


    As she ended the call, Liu Longwei pushed the door open and entered the study.


    The first thing that greeted his sight was the beautiful woman sitting on his classic Svenstol 24-hour office chair.


    She had her phone in a motion between her ear and the table which means that she just got off from a call.


    Chen Lihua smiled at him and Liu Longwei couldn''t help smiling as well as he walked towards the table and asked, "What brought a smile to your face?"


    Chen Lihua saw him walking towards the table, and so stood up from his chair. But Liu Longwei waved his hands, signalling her to sit back, and so she did before she answered his question.


    "I just spoke to my wedding gown designer. My gown will arrive in 5 days for our wedding even though it''s not yet ready. So when the time comes, we will send a car to bring the designer and his crew over".


    "Is it not possible to ship it, and why is the gown being sent over when it''s only half-finished?"


    Liu Longwei asked, sitting on another office chair opposite Chen Lihua.


    "Shipping the gown will be a hassle, so they will bring it in parts. When they arrive here, they can then finish the remaining work before setting it up".


    Chen Lihua let out a breath before explaining further, "My Wedding dress cannot be sent over when it''s completely set up because of the size and designs. And another reason is that I don''t want my wedding gown to be leaked out before the actual wedding day".


    "Ooh", Liu Longwei said nodding in understanding, and Chen Lihua nodded as well saying "hmmm".


    "That''s right. After battling with myself for a while, I decided to tell you this". Liu Longwei said staring at her.


    Chen Lihua looked at him with an inquisitive gaze and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    "We are moving houses", Liu Longwei said.


    In Chen Lihua''s mind, she sighed in relief as he didn''t give her breaking news (maybe a serious or devastating news).


    But then she asked curiously as she didn''t see the need to change houses, "Why are we moving into another house all of a sudden?"


    Liu Longwei answered in a straightforward manner without trying to beat around the bush.


    "It''s not all of a sudden. I''ve always had this plan, and I''ve been implementing my plans for a while now. I didn''t want you to get attached to this house before we move into a new one, so I thought we should move before the wedding. And don''t worry, you will like that place. It''s more modernized than this one".


    "Oh, okay!" Chen Lihua nodded.


    "So when are we moving in?" She asked after taking a breather.


    "In six days. In time to receive your wedding designer and his crew". Liu Longwei answered lazily while squinting his deep eyes.


    Chen Lihua nodded, and Liu Longwei tapped on his phone screen a few times before passing it to her.


    "You are the mistress of the house, so I think you have your own decisions to make concerning the house. I''ve done most of it, but there are some things you still have to give your opinion on. You can take a pick from the designs on my phone, on the furniture for the living room and bedrooms, and the designs for every corner of the house".


    "Wow! These designs are lovely". Chen Lihua said in amazement.


    Liu Longwei chuckled seeing her bright eyes and explained to her, "That''s some of the best designs the Liu Group''s designing team came up with. So you can take a pick".


    "They really know their job well. How many rooms are there in the new house? Chen Lihua asked looking up from the phone.


    Liu Longwei thought for a while before giving a vague reply, "There are so many rooms there".


    "Just choose the designs for the Living room, dining room, Kitchen, and the two master bedrooms. If possible, you can choose some designs for the children''s room, but I think it''s still too early for that". Liu Longwei said with a smirk.


    Chen Lihua blushed at the mention of children because she knew the process of baby-making, it was so embarrassing especially after their first wedding night.


    Liu Longwei smiled in understanding at her embarrassed look. "When you are done selecting the designs you want, I will forward them to the team, so they can start working on it".


    "Ok, but we have to choose the designs together, and make some decisions on them, that way it will be faster and more decisive". Chen Lihua said thoughtfully before standing up from the chair and walking to sit on the couch in the room.


    Liu Longwei followed her as well, as they put heads together in choosing the designs for their new home.


    When they were done, Chen Lihua asked, "What about the designs for the other rooms?"


    "Don''t worry, Dongmei will take care of it. She''s the chief designer for the Liu Group, and she''s the one in charge of designing the house". Liu Longwei explained as he stood up, and helped Chen Lihua in the process.


    Passing the phone back to him, Chen Lihua let out a yawn as she used her hand to cover her mouth while saying, "I think am hungry".

 Chapter 196 - I think you should watch your weight.

    "Don''t worry, Dongmei will take care of it. She''s the chief designer for the Liu Group, and she''s the one in charge of designing the house". Liu Longwei explained as he stood up, and helped Chen Lihua in the process.


    Passing the phone back to him, Chen Lihua let out a yawn as she used her hand to cover her mouth while saying, "I think am hungry".


    Liu Longwei gave her a weird stare that made her uncomfortable, so she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    Liu Longwei shook in a negative affirmation without saying anything.


    But Chen Lihua somehow knew what was going on his mind so she said. "Don''t give me that look. I get famished easily when am at home doing nothing. And besides, mere glancing through those beautiful designs drained me".


    "Hmm. But why are you explaining to me? Did I say anything?" Liu Longwei asked, amused.


    "Better for you", Chen Lihua said as she walked ahead of him down the stairs after they left the study room".


    "I think you should watch your weight this period, you know, to avoid you going to the tailor to make alterations to your clothes", Liu Longwei advised seriously.


    But Chen Lihua didn''t even see his words as advice because she became provoked immediately.


    She suddenly stopped walking and turned to glare at him. She looked him up and down, and Liu Longwei asked, "What?" because he didn''t understand the sudden glare she directed towards him.


    But Chen Lihua used one hand to push him aside as she climbed the stairs and went back to her room and shutting the door with a ''thud'' behind her.


    So Liu Longwei was left standing there in confusion.


    ''What just happened? Wasn''t she going downstairs to eat? Why the sudden change of attitude?''


    He wanted to continue down the stairs, but he just couldn''t leave his angry wife that way, so he climbed up the stairs and knocked on her door, but he received no answer.


    Chen Lihua heard the knock on the door but totally ignored him. She just sat on her bed sulking.


    Receiving no answer, Liu Longwei knocked on her door, but this time he called her name as he knocked.


    "Lihua, open the door", but he was met with silence.


    "Why are you angry?" He was met with another silence.


    "Open the door, let''s sort this out". No movement at all.


    Liu Longwei stopped knocking and calling her name and went downstairs to the living room.


    He instructed the servants to prepare a quick meal for her and take it to her room.


    He left the house after passing his instructions.


    Not hearing her name and the knocks on her door after some time, Chen Lihua knew that Liu Longwei had walked away.


    So she stood up from her bed and walked to her vanity table to look at herself in the mirror.


    As she gazed at herself in the mirror, she checked herself out while at it. She touched her bare face to see if she had added another flesh, and her body to check if she had added any flesh there as well, but she didn''t notice any difference.


    It was not her fault that she had been getting hungry so easily these days. This was because she is slim and doesn''t have enough glucose levels in her blood, and so she tended to get hungry easily, especially when she''s idle.


    Had it been she was normally in the hospital working, she wouldn''t feel hungry so easily because her mind would have been occupied with so many things.


    Chen Lihua sat on her bed gloomily as she wondered what was wrong with Liu Longwei.


    Many days ago, he was the one putting food on her plate and forcing her to eat, to the extent that she added flesh that made her mother query her. And now, here he was telling her to be careful of her weight. What does he mean by that?


    Having thought to this level, something struck her memory as she suddenly remembered her mother.


    From what she remembered and from what she knew of her mother, the woman would have pestered her with calls after asking about her life with Liu Longwei.


    But it was surprising that she hasn''t even called her since after her Chinese wedding.


    Chen Lihua indeed found it weird. But on a second note, she felt slightly relieved of the present situation, if not, her mother would have long bombarded her with questions.


    Not long after, she heard a knock on the door. But this time around, it was a servant asking her to come and eat. But Chen Lihua didn''t say a word.


    "Madam we have brought your food". The servant said respectfully as she knocked on the door while the second servant carried a trolley of food.


    "Who asked you to bring food for me?" Chub Lihua asked.


    "Madam, sir asked us to bring food for you, to your room", the same servant answered.


    "Take it away, am not hungry", Chen Lihua said as she slides onto her bed.


    And through to her words, Chen Lihua didn''t feel hungry anymore because of what Liu Longwei said as she felt he called her ''fat''.


    The servants were confused as they wondered if their ''Sir'' was confused when he asked them to cook a simple meal dish and bring it up for their Madam.


    Who were they to disobey their Madam''s order? They quickly left with their food.


    As time went by, it was now evening when Liu Longwei came back. The first thing he did when he came into the house was to ask if his wife had eaten. But he received a negative answer, and so he asked for the reason, and a servant gave him Chen Lihua''s response.


    And that made Liu Longwei''s brow to crease in a slight frown.


    When the time for dinner came, Liu Longwei personally went to knock on Chen Lihua''s door but he received no answer. But this time it was because Chen Lihua was asleep, so she didn''t hear the knocks.


    But as he knocked, it ended up waking her up from her deep slumber.

 Chapter 197 - Chen K pays another visit to the woman he has missed.

    When the time for dinner came, Liu Longwei personally went to knock on Chen Lihua''s door but he received no answer. But this time it was because Chen Lihua was asleep, so she didn''t hear the knocks.


    But as he knocked, it ended up waking her up from her deep slumber.


    Since her door was locked, Liu Longwei couldn''t open it, so he continued to knock.


    Chen Lihua frowned while sitting up on her bed. She yawned before getting out of her bed to open the door.


    Seeing her sleepy and tired look, Liu Longwei then knew that she had been sleeping.


    "What?" Chen Lihua asked absentmindedly as she rubbed her puffy eyes which came about because of the sleep.


    "Hope you are ok?" Liu Longwei asked, attempting to touch her head.


    But Chen Lihua nudged his hand away as she didn''t know what he wanted to do while answering, "Am fine", Chen Lihua answered, letting out another yawn.


    Liu Longwei brought his hand down thinking that Chen Lihua was still angry at him, and thus didn''t want him to touch her.


    But regardless of his thoughts he still said, "It''s late already, let''s go down for dinner".


    "No, I am on a diet", Chen Lihua said abruptly.


    "Why? Since when?" Liu Longwei asked in confusion as he can''t remember her making mention of it. Because the last thing he remembered was her saying she was hungry and him advising her, and which led to the present state.


    "You said I was fat. My diet started then". Chen Lihua said, trying to walk back into her room. But Liu Longwei held her hand before dragging her out from the room.


    He shut the door behind them and said as Chen Lihua struggled to set her hand free.


    Liu Longwei paused in his step and let go off her hand, but then he held her shoulders and they both stared into each other''s eyes.


    "Look Lihua am sorry for offending you ok? Please stop being angry at me alright?" Liu Longwei pleaded while staring at her.


    The apology alone easily melted Chen Lihua''s heart, then coupled with the apologetic look on his face.


    Chen Lihua smiled and said, "I forgive you".


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he leaned in to kiss her plump lips.


    Chen Lihua just placed her palms on his chest but didn''t push him away. She kissed him back as well before he released her lips.


    He then pecked her cheek before holding her hand and walking down to the Dining room together.


    Chen Lihua bowed her head shyly, letting him hold her hand as they walked while feeling a gush of sweetness rise up inside of her.


    Chen Lihua felt so good having someone to pamper her.


    That night, Liu Longwei kept placing food on her plate, and so, she ate to her satisfaction.


    The next day, Lady Chen went to her office having rested for a few days, and so have recovered her strength and spirit.


    After Lady Chen finished the meeting with the department heads, she left the conference room with her male and female assistants trailing behind her.


    After they dropped some doc.u.ments and her belongings in her office, they left.


    The female assistant came back with a cup of warm tea as per the request of Lady Chen.


    Sipping her tea and working (going through some doc.u.ments), Lady Chen felt so relaxed that all the troubles and worries she had acc.u.mulated for the past few days slowly vanished.


    Just then, her male assistant rushed into her office in a frantic manner without knocking, forgetting his manners.


    Lady Chen looked at him while sipping her coffee with the gaze that said, ''You had better have something important to report or otherwise, get ready to be punished''.


    "Boss, someone who looks like the former Boss is here to see you", the assistant reported.


    "What do you mean by someone who looks like the former....?" Lady Chen trailed off in the middle of her speech as something dawned on her.


    When she realized the direction her thoughts were going to, she felt a sharp pain in her heart as she immediately clutched her chest with a painful expression.


    "Boss, are you ok?" The assistant rushed over to her side as quickly as possible in fright.


    Lady Chen quickly waved her hand, telling him not to come over that she was ok just as he was about to touch her arm.


    "Are you sure of what you are saying?" Lady Chen managed to say before picking up her teacup and drinking from it.


    "Yes, Boss. I recognized his face even with the beards and sunglasses on his face". The assistant replied hurriedly.


    "How many people know of this?" Lady Chen asked after relaxing for a bit.


    "Boss doesn''t worry, I don''t think anyone recognized him. The only reason I managed to recognize him is that I''ve seen that particular look before", the assistant explained.


    Lady Chen''s worries eased off a bit at his words.


    "Send him up here as quickly as possible", Lady Chen said decisively, as it would be more troublesome if more people were to recognize him.


    The news will definitely make it to the headlines the next minute if discovered. And then, Chen Lihua would find out.


    ''That''s right Lihua. She can''t ever find out''. Lady Chen said when she remembered her daughter and came to a conclusion.


    The Chen Lihua that was being spoken about was currently running on the treadmill. She sneezed when her name was called.


    Back at the office. Lady Chen''s heartbeat leaped by a few paces as she didn''t know how she would act when that man comes in.


    The door to her office was pushed open and a man dressed in all black walked in, scanning the woman who he had missed in his dreams for a long time.


    With the beards and sunglasses over his face, Lady Chen couldn''t really make out his facial features, but she definitely knew he was the one. That was the same way he looked when he came to Chen Villa.


    She would recognize her husband anywhere, and at any time even if he turned to dust or ashes.

 Chapter 198 - Licking your fingers with my tongue.

    She would recognize her husband anywhere, and at any time even if he turned to dust or ashes.


    "How have you been......?" Chen K asked sentimentally.


    Fast forward to the evening of the same day.


    Since today was the third day after Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s marriage, they went to visit Lady Chen at the Chen Villa, as it was a tradition for any newly married couple to visit the bride''s home on the third day after their marriage in Chinese Custom.


    Before Chen and Liu Longwei embarked on their journey, they already prepared gifts for Lady Chen.


    When they arrived, the butler immediately ushered them in with all smiles, as the servants kept moving things from the cars they came with and into the house.


    As Chen Lihua sat on the couch in the living room, she immediately asked the Butler, "Where is my mum?"


    "Madam is in her bedroom, Young miss, but a servant has already gone to inform her of your arrival". The butler said respectfully.


    The servants then came out to serve them some refreshments and paid their respects to them cheerfully.


    The servants were very happy to see their young miss as it was the first time they were setting their eyes on her, since after her wedding three days ago.


    Chen Lihua didn''t waste time before she picked a purple gr.a.p.e and sent it into her mouth.


    She didn''t even bother to touch any other thing there because the captivating purple gr.a.p.e fruit caught her eyes.


    Liu Longwei just watched her as she munched on the juicy gr.a.p.efruit with a smile.


    Chen Lihua caught his gaze on her, so she looked at him while asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    "You seem to enjoy fruits a lot". Liu Longwei said after coming to a conclusion.


    Chen Lihua finished eating the gr.a.p.e in her mouth before replying to him, "Yes, I like fruits a lot because they are not only sweet, but contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, and they are healthy as well. Even if I don''t eat food but take only fruits, I will be very much satisfied".


    "Oh". Liu Longwei said.


    "Why are you not eating anything?" Chen Lihua asked after not seeing him pick anything to eat or drink.


    "Nothing". Liu Longwei replied as he checked his phone that was ringing. But upon seeing the caller''s ID, he cut the call.


    "Try this, you will love it. The fruits are very fresh, and that''s because my mother has a fruit and vegetable garden behind the Villa. So, she doesn''t lack fruits here". Chen Lihua said while popping a gr.a.p.efruit into his mouth.


    What was currently going on in Liu Longwei''s mind was how Chen Lihua didn''t even bother to ask him who called him earlier. So he began to wonder if she didn''t care, or that she didn''t just want to ask?


    He was pulled out from his thought when he felt Chen Lihua''s fingers on his lips and a small round thing in his mouth.


    So, he licked her fingers that were just about to be withdrawn from his mouth and smiled mischievously.


    Chen Lihua scrunched up her face in a frown, but not in disgust as she stared at her fingers that he just licked, not knowing where to place them.


    Liu Longwei chewed the fruit and couldn''t help letting out a chuckle when he saw her confused state.


    "What? Do you feel disgusted that your husband licked your finger, and now don''t want to use them anymore?" Liu Longwei questioned.


    "How do you expect me to continue eating with these fingers you just happened to put your saliva on?" Chen Lihua asked, sending a glare across his way.


    Since they were sitting on the same couch, Liu Longwei was able to shove his face close to her. He tilted his face close to hers and said in a voice that only they could hear, "it''s not like we haven''t kissed before because we have exchanged and tasted each other''s saliva. So there''s not much disparity between your situation now, and then. So stop making a fuss and eat your juicy gr.a.p.efruit".


    Liu Longwei finished speaking and leaned away and smirked when he saw how dumbfounded she was.


    "You...you....", Chen Lihua said while looking around as if to make sure that no one heard the shameful words he said.


    Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Chen Lihua hit his biceps hard but ended up feeling the pain because of how hard it was due to the workout sessions he normally engages in, so she frowned while blowing air on her delicate fingers.


    "What gibberish are you spouting from your mouth? Why don''t I try licking your fingers with my tongue, then you try sending them into your mouth?" Chen Lihua challenged.


    "You think I will be disgusted? Come on, let''s try it", Liu Longwei said with a serious expression on his face. But deep down his heart, he was trying so hard to hold in the laugh that was threatening to slip out from his mouth.


    Oh, Lihua! Who asked you to send yourself to the wolf''s den?


    Without waiting for any reaction from her, Liu Longwei plucked a gr.a.p.e from its bunch and sent it into her mouth immediately, touching her tongue with his fingers in the process.


    He even had the opportunity to tease her pink tongue a little by rubbing it with his fingers, before removing it hastily, for fear of Chen Lihua''s temper.


    Chen Lihua looked at him in dismay, totally forgetting to eat the fruit in her mouth, as she watched him a pick gr.a.p.efruit with those particular fingers, and also watched him shove the fruit into his mouth.


    Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua as he licked his two fingers while teasing her.


    "You see, I licked them. There is no big deal there". He said with a smile.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know what to say, as she chewed the gr.a.p.efruit he had put in her mouth.


    But if there''s anything Chen Lihua discovered from this act of his, is that she was short-changed. Because he didn''t seem to hide how happy he was.


    It was as if he just won a lottery, that''s to show you how happy he was.


    Lady Chen who had been watching them for a while now, suddenly let out a hearty laugh when she saw her daughter''s distress.

 Chapter 199 - Feed me.

    Lady Chen who had been watching them for a while now, suddenly let out a hearty laugh when she saw her daughter''s distress.


    "Did you two come to see me, or to flirt in my house?" Lady Chen asked as she approached them with a carefree smile.


    "Mum!" Chen Lihua called out to her once she saw her approach them.


    "What?" Lady Chen asked with a teasing gaze.


    "Good evening mum", Liu Longwei greeted Lady Chen in a composed smile.


    "Good evening son-in-law", Lady Chen responded as she sat on the couch.


    "Mum, how long have you been standing there?" Chen Lihua asked with a doubtful expression written all over her face.


    Lady Chen flipped her permed hair and with a gorgeous smile, she revealed, "Well, I''ve been standing there since you fed your husband the gr.a.p.efruit".


    Chen Lihua had a look of shock on her face as she felt incredibly embarrassed. She couldn''t believe that her mother saw them flirting.


    "Mum it''s wrong to eavesdrop on people''s conversations". Chen Lihua said with an embarrassed frown.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly at his wife''s facial expression, as she tried to hide her embarrassment with a frown.


    He disguised his chuckle with a cough when his wife sent a glare across his way.


    The glare seemed to say, ''it''s all your fault and you dare to laugh!''


    Lady Chen saw them exchange glances and said in a tone as if she was berating her daughter.


    "Why are you glaring at your husband? This is my house, so I don''t think am now restricted to some places. And besides, I found what you two were doing fun".


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "What fun? You just watched your daughter being short-changed, and you''re telling me that you were having fun?"


    Lady Chen and Liu Longwei gave each other a look before bursting into laughter.


    Chen Lihua just sat there with a baffled look on her face and watched them laugh at her while wondering which fraction of her words they found funny, that made them erupt in laughter.


    Lady Chen felt settled within her as she hasn''t felt so happy and pleased these past few days after her daughter''s traditional wedding.


    Bringing herself out from those thoughts, she asked them, "How have you two been these few days?"


    "We are good". Liu Longwei answered and began to talk about him and Chen Lihua moving houses in a few days'' time, just before their white wedding.


    "That''s good! Congratulations! You two have to invite me over if there will be a housewarming party", Lady Chen said with a smile while crossing her legs.


    "No problem mum, we will definitely do that". Liu Longwei replied.


    "Mum, have you been well these days?" Chen Lihua said. She couldn''t help asking because she found it strange that her mother hadn''t contacted her for three whole days after her traditional wedding.


    At first, she didn''t care. But then, she felt that it wasn''t like her mother not to call to question her or know how she was doing, thus she asked that question.


    If not for her experience and years in acting, Lady Chen''s smile would have long faltered with that question.


    She still maintained the smile on her face and her composure as she answered, "Am good. I just had a meeting at the company this morning. Why do you ask?"


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei who had high IQ''s couldn''t see any difference in Lady Chen''s change in body language. This is probably because they didn''t think anything wrong would happen to her.


    Chen Lihua shook her head in a negative affirmation saying, "A caring daughter just wanted to know how her mother was thriving", before she took a bite from the green apple ???? she had picked up.


    How could Chen Lihua tell her that the reason she asked that question was that she didn''t call to disturb her after the wedding?


    She must have lost her mind if she dared to tell her mother those words. Only God knows how Lady Chen will react.


    Chen Lihua shook her head to wipe out the smug and arrogant expression she just imagined her mother had on her face.


    Then she looked around to see that she was currently being stared at by her husband and mother, and so she took another bite from the Apple.


    "Mother these are the gifts we bought for you. We hope you will like them". Liu Longwei said pointing at the gifts the servants dropped in the living room.


    "Of course I like anything you give to me". Lady Chen said with a smile as she called for the servants to send the gift items to her bedroom.


    Then she talked with Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei on how their white wedding preparations were coming along.


    "If there''s anything you two need help with, you can contact me or Biyu. We would be happy to be of help to you two". Lady Chen said in conclusion.


    "Mum, you don''t have to worry, we would definitely ask for your help and advice if we need one. We are almost done with everything". Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    "Good!" Lady Chen said.


    She looked at the big and impressive wall-clock hung on the wall and saw that it was time to have dinner, so she asked the servants to serve their food.


    Lady Chen suddenly thought about the doc.u.ments she gave Chen Lihua to sign and was about to panic, but then calmed down since Chen Lihua didn''t ask about it, which meant that she didn''t remember and hasn''t looked at it because she sent the doc.u.ments to her the day after her traditional wedding.


    Lady Chen stood from the couch and said to them with a smile. "Let me check on the food and see if I can add one or two dishes".


    Liu Longwei nodded at her with a smile and she went away.


    Liu Longwei stared at his wife that was munching away on her apple without looking at him or caring about him.


    So, he started disturbing her. "Lihua, I want some gr.a.p.efruits".


    Chen Lihua swallowed the apple in her mouth down her throat. She looked at him, and then looked at the fruit plate that was on the little stool in front of her.


    She pushed the stool to his side so he could pick the gr.a.p.efruits for himself while thinking that his hand couldn''t reach it.


    Liu Longwei saw her action and sighed. Then he threw out two simple words, "Feed me".

 Chapter 200 - Wont you serve your husband?.

    She pushed the stool to his side so he could pick the gr.a.p.efruits for himself while thinking that his hand couldn''t reach it.


    Liu Longwei saw her action and sighed. Then he threw out two simple words, "Feed me".


    Chen Lihua thought she didn''t hear well, because she paused in her actions for only a second before continuing with what she was doing.


    Chen Lihua sneered while saying, "You think I don''t know that you want to take advantage of me, no way!"


    Just then, Lady Chen came to call them to come over to the dining table. Then, they walked over to see a sumptuous dinner sitting on the dining table, and waiting to be savored by them.


    Lady Chen sat on the head chair, so Chen Lihua sat between her and Liu Longwei.


    "Mom, who did you prepare all this food for? It seems like we are having a mini party with all these foods and drinks am seeing on this table". Chen Lihua said with wide eyes.


    It''s not her fault, the food and drinks on the table were too much for just the three of them.


    "Just eat to your satisfaction". Lady Chen replied to her before leading them in a few seconds prayer over their food.


    Lady Chen then cut a few pieces of roasted duck with her cutlery before sending it into Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s plate.


    Since her hand could not reach Liu Longwei''s plate, she asked him to pass his plate and he did so. Then she put his own share of pieces of roasted into his plate.


    Just before Chen Lihua took a bite from her food, she asked her mother, "Mum, where are grandpa and grandma? Why don''t I see them?"


    "They went to look, Chen Lin". Lady Chen said while cutting a few pieces of roasted duck for herself.


    "Why would they go to look got Aunt Lin, did something happen?" Chen Lihua inquired curiously as she didn''t see the need for her grandparents to visit her Aunt who they saw on her traditional wedding, just in the span of two to three days, unless there was a pressing need.


    Lady Chen put the piece roasted duck she just cut into her plate and said with a frown while looking at her daughter, "Lihua, observe the table manners. All this food on this table isn''t going to eat themselves. If you are not hungry, I am. You can wait for me to finish eating before asking me any more questions".


    Lady Chen finished speaking and took a bite from her food.


    Chen Lihua could only shut up and eat her food, with Liu Longwei sending a few side dishes into her plate as they are.


    After their dinner, they sat in the living room and washed their food down with fruit juice.


    Then Lady Chen brought up a topic of them spending the night at the Chen Villa.


    But Chen Lihua refused and explained that they didn''t come with any change of clothes as they didn''t know they would be spending the night there.


    Lady Chen wasn''t going to take no for answer. She told them that they could go to any Mall to shop for clothes for Liu Longwei alone since Chen Lihua wasn''t a problem as she still had clothes in the Chen Villa.


    This time around, Liu Longwei didn''t refuse her. He sent two of his bodyguards to the mall to buy him underwear, nightwear, and a change of clothes for the next morning.


    Thirty minutes later, a bag was handed over to Liu Longwei which contained the items he asked for.


    Then he took the bags and walked upstairs with Chen Lihua into her room.


    This was his second entering her room.


    Her room still had the same decorations and cream-colored paint on the walls. The only difference now is that the bedsheetsstssswere changed to a sky blue one with little and mature designs.


    The decorations in her room were kept simple.


    "You might be wondering why my room feels empty or doesn''t have anything to show that I lived here in my teenage days. This is because this is not the room I grew up in. After I came back from the U.S., I asked for a change of room", Chen Lihua said with a smile, as she sat on her bed.


    "Why is that so?" Liu Longwei asked as he began to unbutton his shirt.


    "I didn''t want to remember some memories I''ve long forgotten. Then the so many awards I''ve received up until I traveled, I didn''t want seeing the awards and my achievements those years to get to my head because I can really be a proud person when I want to be. I wanted it to seem like I haven''t achieved anything, and that would make me put in more effort in all that I do", Chen Lihua explained.


    "Wow! You are one weird woman", Liu Longwei said as he finally removed his shirt to reveal the white singlet he wore beneath it.


    Chen Lihua smiled before adding, "I left all my awards and some properties in the US, but I''ve asked my friends to pack them up for me. Any day I feel like boasting or commending myself, I will line all the awards and trophies given to me and take a picture of them all before sending it to my IG (Instagram) and other social networks I am using".


    When she finished speaking, she suddenly asked the topless man who was standing in front of her.


    "Why are you striping in front of me? Am sure you know where the dressing room is since you once went in there to find my wedding shoes, please help yourself there".


    "Won''t you serve your husband, considering that am not so familiar with your room?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him before standing up from the bed. She picked up the bags which contained the items that were bought for him before saying as she went into the dressing room, "follow me".

 Chapter 201 - Strip me off my clothes or give me a French kiss.

    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him before standing up from the bed. She picked up the bags which contained the items that were bought for him before saying as she went into the dressing room, "follow me".


    Liu Longwei happily followed her with his shirt and singlet in his arm.


    Chen Lihua brought out the things from the bags as Liu Longwei stood behind her.


    "Keep your dirty clothes in the laundry basket", Chen Lihua said pointing at the empty laundry basket in one corner of the room.


    Carrying his toiletries, she went into the bathroom and arranged the things on a glass shelf.


    "Do you want me to draw you a bath?" Chen Lihua asked as she suddenly turned to face the man that had been trailing behind her.


    "No, but I need your help in another area", Liu Longwei said with a mischievous smile.


    "What can I help you with?" Chen Lihua asked not looking at his face as she was still busy looking around the bathroom to see if there was anything she still needed to fix for his bath.


    Liu Longwei saw that she was no longer paying attention to him, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards his body.


    Chen Lihua suddenly saw herself in a warm embrace just like that, without any prior notice. Not just that, her lips just kissed a warm chest.


    Liu Longwei smiled in satisfaction because of their current posture. He then lowered his head and whispered to her ear in a low husky voice. "I want you to take off my trousers".


    Then he proceeded to place her hands on his belt.


    Chen Lihua''s face turned a few shades of red. She hasn''t even finished recovering from kissing his chest, and now she was tasked with unbuckling his belt?


    "Longwei, stop this joke. Let go of my hands", Chen Lihua said in a hurried voice as she struggled to set her hand''s free form his firm grasp.


    "But am not joking". Liu Longwei said with a teasing smile while looking at her eyes.


    "Longwei!" Chen Lihua said aloud with an annoyed look.


    "On account of your beautiful face, I will give you two options. You either strip me off my remaining clothes, or you give me a French kiss", Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    Chen Lihua struggled to release her hands from his grasp again but didn''t succeed. So she gave him an angry glare.


    "Sweetheart, you don''t have to look at me that way. You just need to make your decision, the ball is in your court. You have 30 seconds before I make the choice for you", Liu Longwei said as he left a kiss on her puffed-up cheek.


    Chen Lihua knew that her angry look currently wouldn''t change anything, so she decided to choose an option.


    She considered removing his clothes, but she wasn''t ready to see any scary-looking tool. So she opted for the second, which was to give him a French kiss.


    At least it was a hundred times better than the first option, she thought.


    So she wrapped her hands around his neck before stretching her own neck with her eyes closed to give him a French kiss.


    Liu Longwei who had been hungrily waiting for her to make her decision, closed his eyes as he hungrily ravaged her lips once her tongue slipped into his mouth.


    Seeing that he had started reciprocating to her kisses, Chen Lihua then tried to pull her tongue from his mouth, but couldn''t because Liu Longwei wouldn''t let her.


    He grabbed both of her butt cheeks before squeezing each of them softly.


    Chen Lihua struggled to set herself free by placing her hands on his hot chest so she could pull away for him but to no avail.


    Instead, she heard a groan from him, and that caused her to freeze in her actions, as she felt something hard and warm come into contact with her clothed body.


    Liu Longwei slightly opened his eyes which were now looking s.e.xy as if he would trap her in there if care wasn''t taken.


    With his half-opened eyes, he stared at her eyeball, and spat out two words, "Don''t move!"


    He then nibbled on her neck as he spoke up again, "Don''t move if you don''t want to provoke me any further. I am already hard, I''m sure you can feel it?"


    Liu Longwei asked the last question as he pressed his hard body part on her body so she could feel it while breathing heavily.


    Chen Lihua blushed hard but didn''t dare to move any further for fear of enraging the wild beast, as she wasn''t ready to take any responsibility.


    Seeing how obedient she was, Liu Longwei let out a chuckle. He stayed in that posture with her for two minutes more before releasing her after he had calmed down.


    Chen Lihua thanked her stars before dashing out from the bathroom without looking back.


    You need to see the speed she used in running away for her dear life. It was as if a wild beast was chasing after her.


    Liu Longwei laughed out loud as he watched how his terrified wife ran away like a frightened rabbit.


    He then looked down at his boner before saying to himself, ''It''s time to deal with you''.


    Chen Lihua only dared to relax after she ran out of her room.


    She then patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after she had run away from the danger zone. It was as if she was now in a safe place.


    Just when she thought she was now free from all troubles, she heard her name.


    "Lihua, what are you doing out here and in that posture?" Lady Chen asked curiously as she walked from behind.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at the floor before raising her head to answer her mother with a smile.


    "Nothing mother, I was on my way downstairs to get a glass of water for Longwei". She lied using Longwei''s name, but then she gritted her teeth when she mentioned his name.


    "Oh! That''s right, why are you not putting on your engagement ring?" Lady Chen asked while pointing at her finger. She has been meaning to ask her about it when she noticed it in the living room.


    "Mum try putting on 20+ carats of diamonds 24-hours a day on your finger, and discover if your finger will remain the same". Chen Lihua said sarcastically.


    "That''s fine then, but why are you blushing?" Lady Chen asked suddenly.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even bother to answer, she just turned her back and entered back into the room she had earlier run out from.

 Chapter 202 - Chen K showed up at his sisters place.

    Chen Lihua didn''t even bother to answer, she just turned her back and entered back into the room she had earlier run out from.


    ''Just when I thought I had successfully run away from a hungry beast, I suddenly met an annoying person''. Chen Lihua thought to herself before going back into her room.


    "What about the drinking water your husband asked you to get?" Lady Chen asked with a smile.


    But when she received no reply, she burst into a fit of laughter. She could take a guess on what her daughter was running away from.


    While walking back to her bedroom, Lady Chen all smiled. She couldn''t believe that her daughter was still so shy.


    What made her confirm her doubts that Chen Lihua was running away from her husband instead of getting water for him was that she went back into the room after she threw out that question.


    Had it been she actually wanted to get water for Liu Longwei, she would have gone downstairs to get the water for him, but she chose to go back into the room at that moment.


    Back in the room, Chen Lihua sat on her bed and started thinking if Liu Longwei will continue with his antics when he comes out from the bathroom.


    ''No, I won''t let that happen''. She thought to herself before standing and going into her dressing room.


    She picked up nightwear and went back to the room to wait. She has already thought about how she would rush into the bathroom once Liu Longwei came out.


    Not long after, Liu Longwei came out from the bathroom in a white night robe. His hair was wet, and he was depicting masculinity.


    The white night robe on his body didn''t cover his chest completely. It parted to showcase his firm and muscular chest, coupled with the necklace on his neck that Chen Lihua bought for him.


    He was exhibiting his masculine charm. And as he walked into the bedroom, his eyes were shining brightly.


    Chen Lihua, on the other hand, lost herself in him. She was definitely attracted by his charm.


    Why she was ogling at his body, she didn''t know when Liu Longwei walked to stand in front of her.


    He had a smile as he leaned into her face. And as he did so, more of his chest came into her view.


    Her saving grace was that she perceived the shower gel he used to bath, which brought her back to her senses.


    She came back to her senses only to see Liu Longwei''s face close up. She quickly leaned back and shifted away.


    "What were you looking at?" Liu Longwei asked as a smirk formed on his face.


    "Nothing, I was just lost in thought". Chen Lihua lied and quickly stood up before rushing into the bathroom.


    Liu Longwei chuckled as he watched her back disappear into the bathroom.


    The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Lihua took Liu Longwei on a walk in the back garden.


    She happily showed him the vegetables and fruits planted in the large garden.


    There were different vegetables and fruits planted in the garden.


    "My mother likes planting fruits and vegetables. But most of the ones you are seeing were planted by the gardeners. When my mum got tired of planting because the land was too large for her to farm on alone, she hired gardeners". Chen Lihua said with a smile as she touched a ripe tomato.


    "Your mum is really industrious". Liu Longwei complimented with a slight smile.


    "Please do not be offended by this question. When your dad was alive, didn''t he help her to farm?" He asked staring right into her eyeballs.


    Surprisingly, no frown appeared on her face. Instead, she went straight to the point, "My dad is not the farming type. But he sometimes helped her out".


    "Oh! Then what about you?" Liu Longwei asked nudging her shoulder.


    "Me? Farming or working in the garden? It''s not for me. I didn''t like it since I didn''t have the stamina for it. And besides, I had other things to do at that time, than to join them in the garden", Chen Lihua said as she walked to an apple tree.


    Liu Longwei followed her and asked in a doting tone, "What were you busy with at that time?"


    Chen Lihua touched the almost ripened apple before looking at him. She then leaned in to and whispered to his ear with a smile plastered on her face.


    "I was busy planning for my future". Then she leaned away and walked ahead with a pleasant smile.


    Liu Longwei chuckled and immediately followed behind her.


    After showing Liu Longwei around, they stayed in the Chen Villa for another hour before going back to their home.


    At Aunt Lin''s place.


    Aunt Lin had two elderly visitors who had refused to leave her house since yesterday.


    The visitors were her parents, the elderly Chen couple.


    They have been barraging her with questions since they arrived at her house yesterday, but she had not made any attempt to answer their questions. But that doesn''t mean that they let her have peace.


    Another visitor came knocking on her door that morning when she was having a face-off with the elderly couple.


    She gave an imaginary thumbs up to her old parents because of the energy and patience they had since they had been interrogating since yesterday.


    "Excuse me, there''s someone at the door, I need to go check who it is", Aunt Lin said with a slight smile.


    As she walked out, she saw the old couple staring at her in anger.


    When she looked through the monitor, she was shocked to see her brother standing there.


    She looked around to see if the old couple followed her before opening the door. She didn''t wait for the man to say anything before she shut her door and dragged him away.


    "Chen K, what do you think you are doing here after I told you last night that our parents were here?" Aunt Lin asked with displeasure in her voice, and a frown etched on her face.

 Chapter 203 - You need to remain low key.

    She looked around to see if the old couple followed her before opening the door. She didn''t wait for the man to say anything before she shut her door and dragged him away.


    "Chen K what do you think you are doing here after I told you last night that our parents were here?" Aunt Lin asked with displeasure in her voice, and a frown etched on her face.


    Chen K sighed before saying, "I can''t continue to hide for so long. Father and mother will still come to know about me someday. After I spoke with you last night, I made a decision".


    "And that decision is to send our old parents to the hospital by suddenly appearing in front of them on a whim?" Aunt Lin asked with a tinge of anger laced in her voice.


    Chen K removed his sunglasses before running his hands through his hair. He was totally devastated by the current situation.


    Seeing that he had nothing to say, and with his current disposition, Aunt Lin calmed down before saying, "You can come in and announce yourself to them because they had been on my neck for the past twenty-four hours now. And I''m already tired and can''t deal with them any longer. But I don''t want anyone fainting in my house, so it''s either I send them to meet you somewhere, or you take responsibility if anything should happen to them in my house?"


    "Whichever way, I will take full responsibility", Chen K declared.


    "What about Ju Ju? Have you explained things to her?" Aunt Lin asked curiously.


    "Yes. I went to the company today to talk to her". Chen K said, tucking his sunglasses onto his shirt collar.


    "How did it go?" Aunt Lin asked expectantly.


    "I just briefed her about what happened that year. At least her response was ok. But she said I couldn''t come back to the Chen Villa until Lihua is officially married since she still hates me so much". Chen K said.


    "That daughter of yours is the most stubborn person I''ve ever set my eyes on in my entire life. What is wrong with her?" Aunt Lin asked angrily.


    "It''s not completely her fault. Her reaction is normal. I am to be blamed for treating her mother so poorly even in her presence. I just hope she forgives me", Chen K said with a regretful expression.


    "Well, she has to forgive you because all those plights you went through was because of her. You went to look for her, and so encountered a lot. She has to forgive you since you''ve already paid for your sins in that way", Aunt Lin finished speaking and sighed.


    "Don''t say it that way, Lihua is not obligated to forgive me. The only reason Ju Ju was willing to see me was because she knew I was going to see our daughter. She hasn''t fully accepted me because I left her a widow for five solid years". Chen K said.


    Before Aunt Lin could reply, an advanced shaky female voice sounded, "Is that you, Kang?"


    Aunt Lin and Chen K both froze in their actions. Even though they were ready to come clean with the old couple, they still weren''t prepared to be caught unawares.


    Out of reflex action, Aunt Lin blocked Chen K''s view from the old couple. But Chen K came out from behind her within seconds after he had readied himself.


    "Father, Mother, it''s me, Chen Kang". Chen K announced.


    Tears gushed out from Old Lady Chen''s eyes. She went to touch his arm to be convinced that he was truly the one standing there and that he was still alive.


    After she touched him, more tears gushed down her eyes as she turned to Old Master Chen and said, "Old Chen, our son is really alive".


    Old Master Chen couldn''t believe his eyes. The son he thought he had lost five years ago and had also mourned, was actually alive?


    His eyes became slightly reddened, but he was far too strong and emotionally composed to cry.


    Twenty minutes later, all of them were sitting in Aunt Lin''s living room and talking.


    "So that was what happened?" Old Master Chen asked.


    "Yes, father", Chen K confirmed.


    "Ah! My son, you have gone through a lot", Old Lady Chen exclaimed.


    Then Old Master Chen suddenly asked after he thought of something. "Were you the reason Ju Ju fainted the other day?"


    "Yes father, and am sorry about it. I just wanted to see you all and explain what happened all these years. But I didn''t expect her to faint, so I had to leave", Chen K explained.


    The Old Man sighed, not knowing what to say to him. Then he looked at his daughter and asked, "How long have you two been in contact with each other?"


    "Almost a year now". Aunt Lin answered not knowing why her father suddenly raised that question.


    Old Master Chen then turned to his son and asked, in a stern voice, "So what took you so long to show yourself".


    "Old Chen forgets about these questions, they are unnecessary. The good thing is that our son is still alive". Old Lady Chen said.


    Then, she clasped Chen K''s hands with her own before saying in a teary smile, "It''s good that you are back. Even though you missed your daughter''s Chinese Wedding, her White wedding is in a few days'' time. At that time, we will all attend together as a family".


    The three people looked at her in shock.


    "No way!" Old Master Chen said in a heavy voice.


    "Why?" Old Lady Chen asked in surprise before glancing at her son and daughter.


    "You still don''t know the situation? Have you forgotten about how our son and granddaughter''s relationship is? Do you want to cause trouble?" Old Master Chen asked in a strained tone.


    Old Lady Chen didn''t dare to mention anything about the wedding anymore as realization dawned on her.


    Old Master Chen snorted before turning to warn his son, "You have to be careful not to be seen by the press or anyone who would rant about your identity. You need to remain low key till after Lihua''s wedding, then we can announce your return".


    Chen K nodded positively in awareness, for he understood the situation reasonably.


    Old Lady Chen suddenly became lightheaded after she had physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted herself. Prompting Aunt Lin to call the servants to carry her into one of the rooms so she could have a good rest.

 Chapter 204 - Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei move into their new home.

    Old Lady Chen suddenly became lightheaded after she had physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted herself. Prompting Aunt Lin to call the servants to carry her into one of the rooms so she could have a good rest.


    Back at Liu Longwei''s Villa, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua played a game of Chess and went for a drive in the evening.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know how to play the game, so Liu Longwei practically played on his own.


    In the evening, they went out for an evening drive, just the two of them alone without the driver and bodyguards.


    Liu Longwei took her on a spin in his Bugatti Chiron, and they enjoyed the beautiful nightlife together.


    When they came back home from the drive, Chen Lihua was all smiling. A smile crept up on Liu Longwei''s face when he saw his wife''s beautiful smile and dimples, so he hugged her shoulder as they walked in.


    "Did you enjoy the drive?" He asked.


    "Of course I did. Next time, speed up a little", Chen Lihua said pointing at him with her finger.


    "Yes, ma''am", Liu Longwei said as he winked at her while saluting at the same time.


    "Since you know how to drive, why do you sit in your pretty cars and let the chauffeur drive you around all day?" Chen Lihua asked curiously as she didn''t see the need to have someone drive her around in her exotic cars when she knew how to drive.


    How then would she appreciate her ride if she couldn''t even get the satisfaction of driving it herself?


    "I am a big CEO. So having someone to drive me around is not bad, but fitting for my status. The sports car is for my convenience, so nobody drives me with it. But my dear lady, there are some cars you will have, and will only enjoy the comfort of it


    when you''re being driven by another person", Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua thought for a while before saying with a smile, "Hmm, I totally agree with you on this one".


    That night, they slept in their separate bedroom.


    Three days later, Liu Longwei took Chen Lihua to their new Villa.


    It was a white, three stories refurbished building, equipped with bullet-proof glass elevators, exercise/gym room, a car garage that goes underground, and a formal dining room.


    The house has two living rooms. One which is the ante-room meant for visitors.


    Hidden cameras are everywhere, including the interior walls, except for the bedrooms due to privacy.


    Motion sensor lights were used for the lighting of the house, which switches on and off with the detection of movement or wind.


    Lights automatically come on when you enter a room. But if you want to switch it off, then you''ve got to use the remote button.


    The curtains in the rooms are also controlled with a remote. So in case the lights are too much for you and you want to close the curtains, or you want to see the nice view of the house, then you can press your remote button and see the curtains and it makes way for you.


    The house has two wide-covered swimming pools that have an underwater music system and a fossil-motif floor. One at the backyard in case they (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) want to host a pool party, and one at the rooftop which solely belongs to the two of them.


    The rooftop has a helipad as well, making it possible for them and their visitors to fly in and out.


    Each room in the house is equipped with its own bathroom and toilet, and a walk-in closet/dressing room. But the two master-bedroom which belong solely to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had a massive walk-in closet/dressing room.


    The house has masterpiece bathtubs and two perfect master bedrooms, and guestrooms with open views.


    Then an underground-home cinema with perfect visions and floor decorations, and so many more.


    Before Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei arrived at their new house, the servants had already moved their properties to their respective locations.


    Chen Lihua was in awe as she looked around the house with Liu Longwei.


    "This house is beautiful! Who made the building plan for this house?" Chen Lihua inquired.


    Liu Longwei smiled proudly before replying, "Am glad you like it. I made the plans. Don''t forget, your husband it''s not just a businessman or the CEO of a big company, I am also an architect".


    "I am already in love with this house already, it is impressive. From the building and down to the decorations. Come on give me a hug". Chen Lihua said as she turned to hug him.


    As Liu Longwei showed her around the house, he explained some of the facilities and how they worked.


    When he showed her to her room, Chen Lihua was totally moved because her room had the exact decorations and style she chose for it.


    When the entered her massive dressing room, it looked as if she didn''t have enough clothes, shoes, and bags, because the room practically looked empty.


    "Freshen up, we are going shopping". Liu Longwei decided after seeing the almost empty dressing room.


    It''s not like Chen Lihua didn''t have many properties, but the problem lies with the dressing room, it was huge. So it made it seem as if nothing was put in there.


    That evening, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua went to a high-end shopping mall with a mask on their faces, so they won''t be recognized by the citizens.


    They had four huge body-guards trailing behind them.


    Once they arrived at the mall, they were ushered into the VIP room, leaving their bodyguards to stand outside the door.


    The VIP room had a changing room in there, so whenever Liu Longwei picked a dress for her or she picks it herself, she would change inside the dressing room before walking out for Liu Longwei to assess it.


    At first, Chen Lihua told him that she was size 8, so she didn''t have to try the gowns out to know if it fitted her. But Liu Longwei wasn''t taking any of that.


    He wanted to make sure every very item they picked was perfect for her. So after Chen Lihua had finished shopping for enough clothes, she began to change into them one after the other for Liu Longwei to assess them.


    Before they left, Chen Lihua picked some handbags and footwear as well.


    "Won''t you get something for yourself?" Chen Lihua asked him after he said for them to go back to the house.


    "No, today is for you. We will shop for two of us some other time", Liu Longwei answered with a smile as he hugged her waist before leaving a peck on her lips.

 Chapter 205 - His body turns her on.

    "Won''t you get something for yourself?" Chen Lihua asked him after he said for them to go back to the house.


    "No, today is for you. We will shop for two of us some other time", Liu Longwei answered with a smile as he hugged her waist before leaving a peck on her lips.


    "Stop it, we are out in public", Chen Lihua said while pushing him away.


    "So that means I can kiss you when we are at home, alone?" Liu Longwei teased with a smirk.


    Chen Lihua glared at him before covering his nose with his mask. Then rolled her eyes at him and replied before covering her nose with her own costume.


    "No way. The earlier you wake up from your slumber and face reality, the better for you".


    When they got home, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei freshened up before going to the rooftop to enjoy the view over a bottle of wine and steak.


    A small dining table was set with two chairs for them at the rooftop.


    Chen Lihua admired the beautiful scenery before picking up her cutlery. "It looks like we are on a date in our own house".


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly before replying, "I guess you can say that". Then he looked at the swimming pool that has light glowing from it before asking her, "What do you think if we take a swim this night?"


    Chen Lihua looked at the swimming pool with a smile before turning to him with a smug look on her face.


    "I guess you really want to be tempted today. Do you know what will happen if we take a dip in that pool with this beautiful scenery this night?" She asked him.


    It''s not like she was waiting for him to reply to her, because she continued immediately, "You will take me right there".


    Liu Longwei cleared his throat before asking with a smile plastered on his face, "How are you so sure that I will lose my self-control?"


    Chen Lihua took a sip of red wine from her wine glass, "You''ve been all touchy since today. So imagine you see me inside that beautiful pool, and dressed in a s.e.xy swimsuit".


    Liu Longwei became lost in thought as he imagined her dressed in a s.e.xy swimsuit. He groaned as he became turned on immediately.


    "You''d better stop imagining things and stop l.u.s.ting after me", Chen Lihua said.


    "Do you think it''s easy?" Liu Longwei asked before cutting his steak and putting a piece in his mouth.


    "Well, I don''t know for you. But as for me, I control myself very well whenever I see your s.e.xy and muscular body. I don''t want to be tempted, but temptations keep coming?" Chen Lihua said before taking a bite from her steak.


    Liu Longwei dropped his cutlery before asking in a low voice, "So that means my body turns you on, sometimes?"


    "Longwei I think we should finish our food before it turns cold", Chen Lihua said trying to change the topic immediately.


    She was already feeling slightly embarrassed for conversing on that topic with him.


    Liu Longwei knew she purposely changed the topic, but he let her be because it was for the best.


    On the morning of the next day, Chen K called his wife, Lady Chen, on the phone.


    Lady Chen was already dressed up for work when she received his call.


    "Hello?" Lady Chen asked not sure of whom the caller was since the contact wasn''t saved in her phone.


    Chen K sighed before saying, "Good morning Ju Ju, it''s me".


    "Oh, good morning to you too", Lady Chen said on recognizing the owner''s voice as she got into her car, and the driver drove off with another car that had her two bodyguards.


    "Ju Ju I saw our daughter....." Chen K said before he was interrupted, not being able to complete his sentence when Lady Chen literally screened out her sentence, "You saw who?"


    The man sighed before saying hurriedly, "Ju Ju relax, she didn''t see me. Well, I''m not sure she did".


    "How do you mean?" Lady Chen asked, slightly calming down.


    "She was with her husband when I passed them by, but she didn''t see me. I was on tenterhooks thinking that she would see me, but she didn''t. Maybe it''s because she was talking to her husband that she didn''t notice. But I doubt that she would recognize me even when she sees me", Chen K said and sighed again.


    Lady Chen totally relaxed, "Well, it''s true that she may not recognize you because of your new look. And besides, she has a facial recognition problem, so you are safe. But do not let her hear you speak; otherwise, you are gone".


    Although Chen Lihua may not be able to recognize people facially because of her facial recognition problem. She recognizes people better using their voices unless she is not paying attention.


    "I know", Chen K said before breathing a sigh of relief.


    "By the way, where did you meet her yesterday?" Lady Chen asked with knitted brows.


    "Ah right, went to a shopping mall yesterday, and met her when she was already leaving with her husband". Chen K answered.


    "What did you go to do there?" Lady Chen asked, looking out from the car''s window.


    I am just wondering where all these questions are coming from and what Lady Chen wants to do with it.


    But that''s not the same thought Chen K has because he is doing everything he can to please his wife. So right now, even if Lady Chen should ask him to commit murder, he will definitely do it.


    "I went to buy you some clothes". Chen K answered immediately.


    Lady Chen rolled her eyes and asked, "I don''t lack clothes, so why would you buy me clothes?"


    "You are my wife, so of course I should buy you things". Chen K answered proudly while getting into his car, and his driver shut his door before driving off.


    "I have forgotten what it feels like to have a husband that dotes on me and buys me things, since I have been living without one for five good years", Lady Chen answered in a sarcastic voice.


    "Are you angry?" Chen K asked with a tinge of uneasiness in his voice.


    "How can I be angry?" Lady Chen sneered.


    Chen K felt a little frustrated with Lady Chen''s sudden change in behavior.


    When he apologized and explained his situation to her, he had thought that she has already forgiven him. But this abrupt change in character suggested otherwise.

 Chapter 206 - Chen Lihua cant get enough of the cakes and Liu Longwei tries to stop her.

    Chen K felt a little frustrated with Lady Chen''s sudden change in behavior.


    When he apologized and explained his situation to her, he had thought that she has already forgiven him. But this abrupt change in character suggested otherwise.


    "Ju Ju I know you''re angry, but please don''t be. I promise to make up for all those years that we missed together", Chen K pleaded with her.


    Lady Chen sauntered before improve in her walking pace.


    Seeing that her attitude had changed for the better, Chen K beamed with smiles as he said to her, "I am on my way to the company. I''ll be waiting in the car for you".


    When Lady Chen arrived at the underground parking space of the company, she went straight to look for the car he had earlier described for her.


    Luckily, the car was tinted, so Lady Chen got on it without many thoughts, leaving her bodyguards to guide them.


    "You are looking much younger", Chen K said with a smile while admiring her beauty.


    Lady Chen touched her cheeks with both hands before replying, "I know. I don''t joke with my skin, so I have to take good care of it. But your daughter is different from me. Her hair is more important to her than her skin".


    Chen K chucked as he said, "You both are great beauties. But the best part of it is that you two look so much alike. You can even pass off as her elder sister".


    Lady Chen became happy as she smiled at being complimented by her husband, whom she loved so much with all her heart.


    "Thank you", Lady Chen said.


    Lady Chen was not in a hurry to go into her office since she didn''t have any meetings today. So she stayed in the car, and they both talked for a while longer.


    "The gifts I bought for you are in the boot. So you can ask your bodyguards to transfer them to your car", Chen K said.


    "Oh, thank you. How have you been feeding and taking care of yourself all these years?" Lady Chen asked with a concerned expression on her face.


    Chen K sighed before explaining to her.


    Lady Chen and Chen K stayed in the car for almost an hour before they parted ways.


    You might be wondering why Lady Chen forgave her husband ''Chen K'' so easily. That''s because Chen K apologized to her for mistreating her all those years of their married life before embarking on the journey they thought took his life.


    And Lady Chen forgave him. So that''s why there wasn''t any animosity between them. Instead, the reason she was heartbroken and angry with him was that she thought he was dead and had mourned him for five good years. She even incurred an illness because of him.


    Before leaving the car, Lady Chen said to Chen K, "Tell your sister to pick my calls".


    Since the day Lady Chen fainted, Aunt Lin has refused to pick her calls. Maybe she even blocked her number, who knows?


    Chen Lin had known that Chen K was alive. Then since he was alive, he didn''t contact her or any member of their family but showed up five years later.


    With their upcoming wedding, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei have been busy with finalizing their Wedding plans.


    On this day, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua went to take their wedding pictures.


    Chen Lihua did an outstanding job while posing in all of the pictures. This is the least you could expect from an international supermodel.


    As for Liu Longwei, he did just fine because he could just act like the CEO he already is.


    Some of their pictures we''re romantic even if there wasn''t anyone that captured the couple kissing.


    Since this couple loved themselves, the romantic photos came out fine, without any pretense.


    That night, Chen Lihua was on a video call with five of her foreign friends who were among her bridal train.


    As they conversed in English, she told them that their dresses (bride''s maid''s clothes) were ready. The girls cheered on in happiness.


    Then they talked about the bachelorette party they would be holding for Chen Lihua on the eve of her wedding.


    After speaking with them, Chen Lihua called her two friends from high school to tell them that their dresses were ready as well.


    Chen Lihua felt so contented and happy with her life right now.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei did their morning exercise before having their western meal prepared by a foreign chef Liu Longwei employed.


    After breakfast, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went to their spacious study room, where two office tables and chairs were arranged for them.


    They chose the places they were going for their honeymoon, and also booked flight tickets and hotel reservations at once.


    The afternoon of the same day, Chen Lihua took Liu Longwei out for cake and wine tasting.


    They stayed there for a while, trying to find the best flavors for their wedding cakes. Especially Chen Lihua, who wanted the best.


    They can''t even remember how many different flavors of cakes Chen Lihua ate before Liu Longwei pulled her away.


    "What?" Chen Lihua whispered, feeling wronged.


    "Why do I feel like you''re eating the cakes instead of tasting them?" Liu Longwei asked with a slight crease on his forehead.


    "Does it matter? After all, we are paying for it", Chen Lihua said before trying to cut another piece of cake. But Liu Longwei slapped her hands away from the fork gently and said, "Do you know how many calories you have eaten?


    Don''t forget that there will be no time for your wedding dress fittings after a few days". Liu Longwei reminded her.


    "That''s right. But I haven''t finished choosing the flavors I want for my cake and cupcakes, how do I do it now?" Chen Lihua complained.


    "What am I here for?" Liu Longwei asked while pointing to himself.


    "You? Forget it. Just choose for yourself while I choose for myself. The worst that could happen is that I would have to work it out in the best few days even though my body it''s not the type to store fat", Chen Lihua said before making a beeline for a cupcake.


    Liu Longwei could only let her be, for he knew how much his wife loved cakes.

 Chapter 207 - You even dare to mention your ex-girlfriends b.o.o.b.s.

    Today, Chen Lihua''s wedding gown will be arriving, so the servants arranged a room where the designer and his assistants would finish the remaining work.


    Chen Lihua is happy as she can''t wait to see her dress. But her happiness is cut short when she sees a news feed while going through her phone.


    Her wedding is coming up in a few days, so it''s being discussed by various people all around the world due to the fact that she and Liu Longwei were famous, coupled with their family background.


    Had it been that they were only talking about her wedding or maybe her family, she would have let it slip. But they were comparing her to Liu Longwei''s ex-girlfriend, and so, she couldn''t take it. And this made her recall something.


    On their first date/ meeting when they also signed their marriage certificate, Liu Longwei said that he had never been in an intimate relationship with anyone before.


    But how come he had a girlfriend? Even though he said he had never been intimate with anyone before, she still refused to believe him. After all, he had even talked about his ex-girlfriend''s burst size. He also went as far as to compare her own with the ex-girlfriend''s b.r.e.a.s.t.


    Chen Lihua gritted her teeth before going to the study to look for him after searching in his room and not seeing him there.


    ''Why did he lie to me?'' Chen Lihua asked herself as she pushed the door to the study open.


    She saw him buried in a doc.u.ment. All his attention and focus was on that doc.u.ment in his hands before she made her way in.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even bother to study that charismatic and serious look on his face when his concentration was on the doc.u.ment, because she was too angry to do so.


    Liu Longwei saw her angry face and asked with furrowed brows, thinking that something has gone wrong, or maybe she had encountered something difficult.


    "Sweetheart, what''s wrong?" He asked with a worried look on his face while standing up from his seat.


    (???????? my look when he said ''sweetheart''. This guy doesn''t know what sin he had committed).


    If only Liu Longwei knew the extent of profound anger, his already fuming wife would be when he uttered the word ''sweetheart''. To hell with it, he wouldn''t have bothered to mention it, for it could wait for later use.


    "Oh, please?" Chen Lihua said in anger as she raised her hand in a stop sign, signaling him to stop before she continued.


    "Do not sweetheart me. I just want you to give me a ''yes'' or a ''no'' to my question. Have you been intimate with a woman before me?"


    Liu Longwei stood in front of her and tried to touch her, but Chen Lihua eluded his hands, while still giving him an angry glare.


    Liu Longwei could only bring his hand down, seeing that she dodged his touch. He sighed before responding in a soft voice, "Yes".


    Chen Lihua felt a nerve snap in her head. She was probably too angry to speak because her chest we''re heaving up and down.


    After she calmed down, she managed to ask, "Why did you lie to me? You told me that you''ve never been intimate with anyone before on the day we signed our marriage certificate. I didn''t actually mind if you had slept with anyone or not before you met me, because that didn''t bother me. But then you had to lie to me, why?"


    It took a while for Liu Longwei to recall the scene that happened that very day.


    He then looked at his angry wife before explaining, "I was actually joking with you, I didn''t even know you took it seriously".


    "Why wouldn''t I take your words seriously when you had a poker face while telling me that," Chen Lihua interrogated.


    "Lihua, I''m sorry for that, I really said those words as a joke. And besides, when I mentioned about my ex-girlfriend''s b.o.o.b.s in front of you, you didn''t get angry. I thought that you would know that with what I said, you would realize that I heard an intimate relationship with her. And I didn''t even recall that I once said I had never been intimate with anyone before, if not that you have mentioned it now. Had I known that you would still have it in mind, I would have long cleared up the misconception," Liu Longwei said, with a Grave tone.


    "Are you blaming me now? You even dare to mention about your ex-girlfriend''s b.o.o.b.s, do you miss touching it? Do you prefer her b.o.o.b.s to mine?" Chen Lihua asked, shooting him a glare while puffing her chest outwards.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know if he should cry or laugh.


    They were currently addressing an important issue, so how did the topic change? And now b.o.o.b.s were being compared.


    It seemed like she was not angry about the earlier matter anymore.


    Liu Longwei thanked his stars for that since that was a very critical issue. The second issue wasn''t a problem as he knew how to handle it. It was a lot easier than the first one that almost sent him out of the field, that''s if he was the player being given a red card.


    So Liu Longwei immediately buckled up before placating her, "Sweetheart how can you say that? I don''t blame you at all. I like your b.o.o.b.s the best".


    Chen Lihua stared right into his eyeballs in anger, "Are you sure? Please take a good look at it to confirm if you wouldn''t change your mind". She said while raising her cotton polo up, so that he could take a good look at her b.o.o.b.s to compare and contrast.


    Liu Longwei was shocked at Chen Lihua''s actions. He couldn''t believe his eyes. How could his shy wife let her b.o.o.b.s out to him on display just like that? It has never happened before.


    Liu Longwei stared at those her beautiful and fair b.o.o.b.s before subconsciously licking his lips. But when he was met with an angry glare from Chen Lihua, he recollected his thoughts before clearing his throat.

 Chapter 208 - Say your last prayers.

    Liu Longwei stared at those her beautiful and fair b.o.o.b.s before subconsciously licking his lips. But when he was met with an angry glare from Chen Lihua, he recollected his thoughts before clearing his throat.


    "Sweetheart, of course, I like your b.o.o.b.s a lot more than others because they are perky and upright. Yours is on a whole different level when compared to them," Liu Longwei responded with his eyes still fixed on her b.o.o.b.s.


    Seeing where he was gazing at Chen Lihua suddenly dropped her clothes to cover her b.o.o.b.s that were previously on display.


    ''What a hooligan!" She muttered to herself.


    She was a bit tempted to pinch his ears before dragging him around the house while calling him ''Shameless.'' But she changed her mind as it would require a lot of energy from her to do that.


    So she rolled her eyes at him and said, "So what you mean is that when my b.o.o.b.s sag, you won''t like it anymore?".


    Liu Longwei felt beads of sweat form on his forehead while saying to himself, ''Lihua why can''t you follow the script, you are supposed to be happy?''.


    But then he quickly said to appease her, "I will never do that!".


    Chen Lihua gave him a hard stare before turning her back towards him and walking towards the door.


    Seeing her going away just like that, Liu Longwei heaved a sigh of relief as a smile crept upon his face on seeing that his mission had been accomplished.


    He really couldn''t believe that with his wife''s temper, she would forgive him so easily, so he asked her as she turned the door''s handle.


    "Sweetheart, have you forgiven me?" Liu Longwei asked unconfidently.


    Without turning back to take a look at him, Chen Lihua continued with her actions of leaving the room while sneering, "Forgive you my foot. Get ready, we are leaving the house in five minutes, in your Bugatti chevron."


    Liu Longwei hurriedly chased after her on seeing that she had already left the room.


    "Sweetheart, where are we going?" He asked once he saw her back.


    Chen Lihua answered him without turning back, and with a skirt that was hidden from him, "We are going for a drive to vent out the remains of my anger."


    ''But you''d better pray we come back alive,'' Chen Lihua completed the second half of her sentence in her mind.


    Just before she disappeared completely, she left him with a warning.


    "I don''t want to hear you call me sweetheart till today is over because it''s beginning to disgust me as you''ve said it too much, and since I am also annoyed with you right now."


    Five minutes later, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua were now sitting in his millions of dollars'' worth of sports cars.


    Chen Lihua ignited the car and then turned to look at the man that has already fastened his seatbelt before saying with a smile that was not actually a smile. "Say your last prayers."


    "What?...." Liu Longwei said not understanding what she meant, or maybe he didn''t want to hear her, or perhaps he wanted to be sure he heard her right.


    He didn''t even get to finish his sentence as he was not being granted the opportunity, because the car had zoomed off at that point.


    As Chen Lihua drove the car out through the metallic gates, she did a sharp turn that almost sent Liu Longwei out through the window if not that he was lucky to have his seat belt on.


    Liu Longwei had a deadpan expression after he recovered from the shock of almost being thrown out of the car. However, he wasn''t, and instead had hit his head on the dashboard, he said.


    "Lihua, stop the car, I will drive instead."


    "This is just the beginning," With a smug look on her face, she replied before accelerating.


    Seeing that she was dead serious, Liu Longwei immediately pressed a button, and the two-car windows rolled up.


    He now half relaxed on the car seat with this thought, ''At least I won''t be sent flying out of the window.''


    But this situation made him know that Chen Lihua was still angry at him and that she was using this medium to vent her anger on him.


    As he opened his mouth to speak to her amicably, Chen Lihua said just before a word could come out of his mouth, totally shutting him off.


    "The more you attempt to say a word, the more danger we will both be in."


    Chen Lihua accelerated once more as she entered a major road. And a car was just driving directly in front of her.


    But when it seemed like she was about to crash into it, she immediately overtook it.


    The bodyguards that had been following them let out a breath of relief.


    They didn''t know what was wrong with their mistress and for what reason, she was driving above the speed limit.


    They couldn''t be bothered to absorb themselves in those thoughts, as their top priority was to catch up with the sports car which was driving at a frightening speed.


    But no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn''t come near a car that was built with the consideration of speed, so they just tried to make sure the sports car was in their view. But when they saw they were losing sight of the car, they hurriedly sent out a drone to tail them.


    Even though they were not notified or alerted, they had to at least do what could be done, without instructions, and that was to ensure their safety by watching over them.


    Chen Lihua didn''t mean what she said, because she was only scaring Liu Longwei, and also giving him a warning at the same time, never to mess with her.


    Deep down her heart, she was already having a lot of fun.


    Liu Longwei, on the other hand, wasn''t in any way frightened by her actions, but he had to think twice because anything could happen at any time. So he reminded her in a soft voice, "Lihua you''ve passed the speed limit, please slow down, or the police will soon be after us."


    That didn''t in any way make Chen Lihua slow down. Instead, she replied righteously, "You have excess money, so you can pay for the fine."


    Liu Longwei sighed before giving further explanation, "Our wedding is in a few days. Do you want is to make the headlines before then?"

 Chapter 209 - I want to enjoy everything I can.

    That didn''t in any way make Chen Lihua slow down. Instead, she replied righteously, "You have excess money, so you can pay for the fine."


    Liu Longwei sighed before giving further explanation, "Our wedding is in a few days. Do you want is to make the headlines before then?"


    That was the only sentence that made Chen Lihua slow down.


    "Ah! I was having so much fun, but too bad it had to be cut short," Chen Lihua exclaimed with a tinge of regret laced in her voice.


    Liu Longwei stared at her before asking, "I thought you were scared of over speeding?"


    He couldn''t help but ask because the last time he drove her in this very same sports car, she kept telling him to slow down, and he did, thinking she was scared. She even gave him a word of advice that day. But here she is driving like an expert while over speeding.


    As if that wasn''t enough, she had to crown his already confused mind with these words, ''I was having so much fun.''


    Chen Lihua shot him a glance before keeping her eyes to the road, "Am not scared, who told you that?"


    "Well, the last time I drove you in this car, you kept telling me to slow down. And that made me think you couldn''t handle it when a car speeds up, especially the one you are in," Liu Longwei responded.


    "Oh! That? Forget it. It''s just that it''s been very long since I experienced that. I used to have so much fun with my friends in the US. But when I came back to China, it all came to an end," Chen Lihua answered while looking at him.


    Liu Longwei saw her staring at him, not looking road while driving with such speed, and said in a stern voice, "Please keep your eyes on the road. Don''t ever try that again if you are not driving slowly.


    Chen Lihua replied with "Yes Sir!", as she focused her sight on the road.


    When I said Chen Lihua slowed down, it didn''t mean she was now driving slowly. She was still speeding, but no longer over speeding.


    The bodyguards that were following behind them sighed in relief on seeing that they had slowed down a bit.


    So they quickly stepped on their accelerator to catch up with them, while at the same time withdrawing the drone they had earlier sent out.


    "Let''s stop for ice-cream," Chen Lihua said as she took a turn on her left.


    Liu Longwei nearly rolled his eyes at her, "What? You want ice cream now ?????"


    "Mmhmm," Chen Lihua hummed in response.


    Liu Longwei became amused at her unbelievable behavior.


    "We went to a cake tasting two days ago.  When you almost finished eating the sample cakes and cupcakes, not forgetting to wash them down your stomach with different types of c.o.c.ktails," Liu Longwei said in disbelief.


    "At this point in my life, I want to enjoy everything I can because I can''t do that after our honeymoon, as I''ll be monitoring my sugar levels. But if you''re worried that I will put on weight since it''s five days to our wedding, then you don''t need to be bothered because that won''t be happening," Chen Lihua said in a happy smile.


    "Hmmmmmmm?" Liu Longwei hummed in question as he had a smirk on his lips.


    "Of course!" Chen Lihua answered as a matter of fact before continuing, "I don''t usually eat sweetened foods. I take them once in a while because of my low sugar level, it makes me dizzy at times. But that doesn''t mean I take bitter foods or drinks. And I just noticed that for over a month now, I''ve been tempted by them."


    "Oh!" Liu Longwei responded as he watched her park the car in the parking lot.


    Chen Lihua turned off the car''s engine before saying immediately, "Mind you, I am not a diabetic patient. I stopped taking sweetened food products because of the painful period cramps I usually had. So when I totally cut down on my sugar intake, I noticed positive changes, I no longer had a painful period cramps. So, I continued with my dieting plan."


    Liu Longwei nodded in understanding as he opened a compartment from the car and pulled out two masks and sunglasses. Then he handed one of each to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua took them from him and asked in surprise before putting them on quickly.


    "Ah! Right, I totally forgot about this. When did you prepare them?"


    "When you gave me five minutes to get ready, just before we left the house," Liu Longwei replied before putting on the items in his hands.


    Both of them got off from the car with white-nose masks and a pair of sunglasses over their eyes.


    Liu Longwei stared at the shop, which was different from the one Chen Lihua regularly visited.


    "I just wanted to try out this one," Chen Lihua stared at the shop before staring back at him and answered in a muffled voice because of the nose mask over her nose and mouth.


    Liu Longwei just nodded and followed her into the bustling shop.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua were totally unrecognizable with the sunglasses and nose masks on them, so they were not worried that anyone would recognize them.


    Chen Lihua dragged the reluctant Liu Longwei and went straight to the counter.


    A waiter smiled at them before attending to them, "Good morning, what would you like to order?"


    Chen Lihua placed her order before turning to ask the man that was looking at the showcase with a scrunched up face, "Will you have the same as me?"


    "No," Liu Longwei rejected before turning to say to the waiter, "A cup of coffee will do."


    Chen Lihua gave him a stare before saying to the waiter, "We are a bit uncomfortable with this place. Can you please take us to a quiet room?"


    The waiter nodded with a smile before signaling another waiter to take them to a new room.

 Chapter 210 - Aunt Lin meets up with her ex.

    Chen Lihua gave him a stare before saying to the waiter, "We are a bit uncomfortable with this place. Can you please take us to a quiet room?"


    The waiter nodded with a smile before signaling another waiter to take them to a new room.


    Now sitting in a quieter and reserved room, Chen Lihua asked Liu Longwei, "Why do you like to drink that bitter coffee? You always have a cup of coffee every morning."


    Liu Longwei leaned in towards her and replied, "Because I like it", before leaning away with a smirk while watching her roll her eyes at him in resentment.


    The same manner this young couple are dining, it''s the same way Aunt Lin and her ex were eating together.


    They two were in a room with a table between them while looking at each other in a staring contest.


    The man was the first to give up. He sighed before taking Aunt Lin''s hands in his own. But Aunt Lin (Chen Lin) brushed his hands away and said with a frown, "I''m sure you can talk without touching me."


    The man sighed again before taking a gulp of water from the glass, "Liner, are you still angry with me?"


    "Am not angry," Chen Lin replied with indifference.


    The man tried to clasp Chen Lin''s hands again, but she didn''t allow him. And this made her move her hands off the table.


    "You are now a married man, so I don''t think what you''re doing is appropriate," Chen Lin sneered.


    With an anxious look on his face, the man said, "Liner, do you still blame me for not standing by you at that time? I''ve already apologized to you several times, and you don''t seem to want to forgive me."


    Chen Lin snorted, "Why should I forgive you when you couldn''t even stand by me when I needed you the most?"


    "You know I love you, and you''re the only one I have in my heart. You know the reason why we couldn''t get married back then. It''s not entirely my fault," The man said regretfully


    "Thank God you said what happened back then wasn''t ''entirely'' your fault, which means that you were also at fault. How could you claim to love me when you couldn''t speak up for us? Your mother said she didn''t like my character because I had a dominant character simply because I could overpower her. Hence, she decided to go against our relationship. Even refused to let us get married even when I was already carrying your child. You didn''t even try to make an effort to insist on our union, and now here you are claiming that you love me. You must have taken me for a joke and as an easy woman."


    The man ran his hands through his hair before explaining helplessly, "Liner you left me before I could do anything. After I had finished making plans for us and came to tell you about it, you simply broke up with me without hearing me speak. And after trying to appease you for a long time, you still refused to listen to me."


    Chen Lin glared at him angrily before saying, "What more did you want to say to me when you couldn''t even defend ''us'' in your mother''s presence. You even married a month after we broke up, and actually had a big wedding. What more do you still have to say?"


    The man took a deep breath, "Liner, I''m sorry for what happened to us in the past. I am sorry for not standing by us. I promise to make it up to you. You just have to say ''Yes'' to my proposal, and then we can be together," Chen Lin rolled her eyes at him while remaining quiet.


    The man sighed, "You know that woman was arranged for me by my mother, and I don''t even love her. But I had to marry her since you didn''t want me, at least I wouldn''t be sleeping around."


    Chen Lin felt that she just heard something unimaginable. She scoffed, "Are you trying to tell me that you have never cheated your wife since you both got married?"


    The man was silent for a while before saying righteously, "I didn''t stay true to her. How could I do that? I never loved her. Even when she knew about our relationship, she still insisted on getting married to me."


    He took a breath before saying, "But you know that I love you and will never cheat on you. You can even attest to that. Before our relationship came to an end, I never cheated on you. And that''s to show how much I took your feelings into consideration. Liner, come back to me. I''ve already planned to divorce that woman for a long time now."


    "Are you trying to make me the reason for divorcing your wife?" Chen Lin implored, not finding his words funny.


    "No, I didn''t mean that. Whether you accept my proposal or not, I will still divorce her because I have already made up my mind. I am already tired of being in a loveless relationship for many years now," The man quickly replied.


    "But you have a son and a daughter with her already, and you still want to divorce her?" Chen Lin questioned with uncertainty in her voice.


    "It doesn''t matter. It''s not like I am going to abandon my children. I will take up my responsibilities as a father," The man said, taking a deep breath. He then looked at Chen Lin before saying, "I never wanted to have any child with her. But who knew that she would tamper with the condoms. Before she had our first child, I told her to take the birth control pills, which she did after we had s.e.x. But when she got pregnant, I questioned her, and she said she wasn''t at fault that sometimes birth control pills failed. So I made inquiries and found out that it was true, and this made me believe her. But that did not stop me from taking preventive measures. Before she had our second child, I didn''t let her retake the pills since I learned my lessons, so I used a condom, but she still got pregnant. And that was how I found out that she cheated me."

 Chapter 211 - She even wanted to walk out heroic.

    "But when she got pregnant, I questioned her, and she said she wasn''t at fault that sometimes birth control pills failed. So I made inquiries and found out that it was true, and this made me believe her. But that did not stop me from taking preventive measures. Before she had our second child, I didn''t let her retake the pills since I learned my lessons, so I used a condom, but she still got pregnant. And that was I found out that she cheated me," The man recounted.


    Chen Lin just looked on as he continued.


    "Since she was able to get two children out from me, I decided to ignore it. So since she got pregnant with our second child, I''ve not been intimate with her. That''s the price she had to pay for going against me. I couldn''t tell her to abort the pregnancy because the child was mine as well. My mother was also watching us like a hawk."


    A knock came on the door, and the waiters came in to serve their food before excusing themselves.


    "How is that old woman doing? That old woman that said she would never let me enter her house while she was alive," Chen Lin asked casually with a smug look.


    It''s quite surprising that the old lady dared to treat Chen Lin that way, not considering the family she came from.


    She didn''t even care about her family''s reputation and how they would react if their daughter/sister was short-changed.


    She just couldn''t take it that Chen Lin was rude to her after their first encounter because she was in the wrong.


    Chen Lin and the old woman met on an awful day.


    The old woman went shopping in a Mall and refused to pay for a dress after stepping on it. She had tried on the dress earlier, and it fitted her, and she even told the attendant that she liked the dress and that she should add it to her cart.


    But when she saw another dress that caught her attention in someone else''s hands, she asked for it, but the woman refused to hand it over to say her while saying she saw and took the dress first.


    After arguing with the woman, and still not able to get the dress from her. She turned to the shop attendant that was helping her shop and demanded that she took the dress from that woman because she wanted that dress. Still, the shop attendant declined with these words, ''She took the dress before you, and the dress is still in her hands, so I cannot get it for you unless she puts the dress back.''


    A nerve snapped in the old woman''s head as she began to curse the woman, the shop attendants, and shop.


    Since these words alone could not stop her fury, she dragged the dress she had picked earlier from the shop attendant before stomping her feet on it.


    The shop attendant, the customers, and the other workers looked on in shock with their mouths agape.


    They couldn''t believe that the old woman would display such an attitude. The other customers in the shop began to point fingers at the old woman. At the same time, some even videoed her little episode of madness.


    The shop attendant that was attending to her still had her hands stretched out after the old woman snatched the dress from her.


    I don''t think she has ever met such an unreasonable and shameless customer before. Who does that?.


    After the old woman was done stomping on the dress, she became extremely satisfied, for she had vented her anger on the dress. She snorted and carried her handbag as she made her way to leave.


    She didn''t even care about the people who were pointing their fingers at her. Or even care about those that captured little shopping escapade on their phones. She even wanted to walk out heroic, not knowing that the right word to be used on her instead of that ''heroic'' was shameless.


    Anger rose from the shop attendant as she held the old woman back by holding her hand.


    (Note that the old woman wasn''t old back then. I am just using ''old woman to describe her since I don''t want to name her. I just discovered that I''ve introduced too many characters already, so adding more would be confusing, even to me the author).


    "Ma''am please pay for the dress you damaged before you leave," The shop attendant said while trying to hold her anger back.


    But she still couldn''t control the tone of her voice, as anger could be detected from it.


    "How dare you bitch hold me with those filthy hands of yours?" The old woman screeched as she gave a resounding tight slap to her.


    A gasp of shock and surprise erupted from everyone''s mouth as they couldn''t believe their eyes.


    One woman amongst the people crowding the area couldn''t take it any longer, and so spoke up.


    She pointed at the old woman while saying, "I have never seen anyone more shameless as you. What wrong did that young lady do for you to curse at her and even give her a slap? Which family did you even come from?"


    The old woman stared at the woman that spoke up before walking towards her in anger. Then she bent her finger that she used in pointing at her while saying, "Don''t you ever point your dirty finger at me,"


    Before she could cause any more problems, Chen Lin arrived with one of the shop attendants that came to inform her of what was going on.


    If you are wondering the reason the shop attendant went to call Chen Lin, then here is the reason.


    Chen Lin owns this shop, and this is the first day she launched her clothing line, so she was available.


    "Who is causing all these commotions in my shop, and abusing my customers?" Chen Lin asked in rage as she stepped forward.


    This was the first day after launching her clothing line, and she was so happy and couldn''t wait to monitor the day''s sales. But her happiness was cut short with this scene.


    The old woman heard the sentence and discovered that the owner of the store had come. And this made her blurry mind to clear up. She just realized that she had caused a lot of trouble.

 Chapter 212 - Please do not come back here next time.

    This was the first day after launching her clothing line, and she was so happy and couldn''t wait to monitor the day''s sales. But her happiness was cut short with this scene.


    The old woman heard the sentence and discovered that the owner of the store had come. And this made her blurry mind to clear up. She just realized that she had caused a lot of trouble, but she still refused to admit it.


    "So you are the owner of this lousy shop?" The old woman sneered at Chen Lin when she turned around. She sized her up from her feet to the crown of her head.


    She had to admit that the young lady standing in front of her reeked of money because she was dressed inexpensively and stylish clothes.


    "How dare you call my hard work, lousy? Since you called it lousy, why did you step into it to shop then?" Chen Lin asked in anger.


    "I was blinded, and so came into it," The old woman retorted shamelessly.


    "Very good! Now before you leave my lousy shop, pay for the lousy dress, you damaged and get out. You can choose to take the dress after paying for it or leave it behind, it''s your choice," Chen Lin said, crossing her arms while glaring at the old woman.


    "I will not pay for any dress," The old woman said and tried to leave, but Chen Lin sent a signal to the shop attendants with her eyes, and they rushed over to hold the woman down.


    "Let go of me you useless fools. If you don''t let me go, I will call the police and report you for assault," The old woman screamed as she struggled to release herself from their grasps.


    But how did she think she could overpower the three young and energetic young women that were holding her.


    "Sue me for assault? You don''t know what you''re talking about. But how about I sue you for assaulting my customer and for damaging the goods in my shop? Do you find my suggestion better?" Chen Lin asked with a smirk on her face.


    "You bitch...!" The old woman said through gritted teeth while glaring daggers at Chen Lin.


    "Thank you for the awful compliment, but you have to pay up before you think about stepping your feet out from this shop. You are even lucky that I haven''t called the police on you, because what you did today can detain you for a few days, or maybe weeks if I push through it. But I didn''t want to give your family another headache of trying to get you out from prison because, you alone is enough headache for them. So in other sense, you are a BIG HEADACHE," Chen Lin said while emphasizing the ''Big headache'' in her sentence.


    Laughter erupted from the workers and customers that gathered around to watch the drama.


    I think the old woman has never been insulted that way in her life, and this person got away with it. As it has always been her winning.


    But now, she was speechless. And her face was twisted in anger that she could not comprehend. She couldn''t even utter a word.


    Chen Lin snorted and asked with a glare, "Why are you looking at me? You had better pay up or remain here. I can''t even let you stay here and work till you have covered up your debts because your behavior, coupled with that look on your face, will chase my customers away. So hurry up and pay, and stop looking at me like that."


    The old woman still couldn''t speak a word for she was too angry to do so. She felt that if she even attempted to open her mouth, she would vomit blood due to the anger that had acc.u.mulated because of one lady.


    So she dared not open her mouth, for fear of endangering her own health, to the detriment of another person.


    Chen Lin saw that the old woman was angered beyond measure, so she smiled while completing her sentence, "Because you can''t do anything."


    The surrounding people had smiles on their faces when they saw the distorted look the old woman had.


    The old woman just looks on as raged clouded her senses. She would have fallen back if not for the three young ladies that were still holding her back.


    "Oh! Since she still refused to make any movement, search her bag. If you don''t see any money, get any credit card you see there and swap it. If you don''t see anything belonging to her that could pay up her debts, then we would really have to inform the police, so she could learn her lessons after being detained," Chen Lin said.


    One of the servants hurriedly snatched the handbag from the old woman before searching the inside.


    She brought out the cash that was in there and showed it to Chen Lin. Chen Lin nodded her head, and so the attendant took the money along with the dirtied dress to the cashier. She came back a few minutes later with the already packaged dress and change.


    She then put the change right into the old woman''s bag before handing her handbag and the packaged dress to her.


    The old woman glared at the attendant before snatching the items. Then other attendants that were holding her down let go of her.


    Just before the old woman left the shop, she threw the packaged dress that was inside a bag that had the store''s logo on one of the attendant''s face, before walking off hauntingly.


    "Thank you for shopping with us, the dress you purchased and willingly left behind will be given out to the needy. But please do not come back here next time because we won''t like to attend to a customer of your kind. But if you do come back, you will be thrown out by the security, and end up being embarrassed, don''t say you weren''t warned," Chen Lin said with a smile after the old woman.


    The old woman didn''t bother to retort or care about the people that were laughing at her. They were having enough fun from watching her being embarrassed.

 Chapter 213 - Ready to fight each other to death.

    The old woman didn''t bother to retort or care about the people that were laughing at her. They were having enough fun from watching her being embarrassed.


    Just as she left the store, she tripped and fell, and that invoked the anger that she''s been hiding inside. So she started to curse at the store while standing there and pointing fingers.


    Everything would have been good if she just cursed while walking away. But she stood in front of the store and cursed while pointing fingers. So the security had no choice than to haul her away.


    To make matters worse, the type of glass used in the shop was a two-way glass. Allowing people inside the store to clearly see everything that was happening outside, while that outside can only see a reflection of themselves.


    So the old lady became the topic of discussion once more.


    Her earlier act of shamelessness hasn''t been wiped off from their mind. Now she was making another refreshing scene that would refresh their memories and even make it difficult to forget what they saw.


    Chen Lin heaved a sigh of relief after dealing with a crazy and troublesome woman. She then turned to the people that were still surrounding the scene with a warm smile.


    "Thank you for choosing to shop with soft & comfy collections today on our grand opening. And to apologize on the trivial matter that occurred here today, 5% has been removed from each item your purchase here today. But I would have to trouble you all to delete the videos you recorded here today, thank you."


    The people were overjoyed, as they counted themselves lucky to have been at the right place and at the right time to get a discount on each purchase they made.


    What were they even doing with the video that won''t pay them? So with this thought in mind, they obediently deleted the videos they had earlier recorded.


    Seeing that her plan had worked, Chen Lin smiled satisfactorily before walking off.


    If she didn''t ask them to delete the videos and it got out. It would not only harm the old woman but also smear the store''s name and reputation she had painstakingly brought to this level with her efforts.


    What was a 5% discount? As far as it would shut the people''s mouth, and get them to do what she wanted, she was willing to give them that discount.


    And her idea really worked and even caused her to gain more sales that day, because those that wanted to purchase one or two items topped their purchase with two or more days because of the discount.


    You could say that the old woman was a blessing in disguise. But she was too foolish to have left the dress that cost thousands of Yuan after paying for it.


    So, this was what happened years back, which made the old woman resent Chen Lin.


    When her son said that he was bringing home the woman he to marry, she was thrilled and cooked up some delicacies.


    But when she finally met the woman her son wanted to marry, and it was the same woman that had embarrassed her months ago, she became mad in anger.


    As she recounted that scene, and the losses she made that day, she jumped up from the couch while shouting and pointing fingers at Chen Lin.


    "So why did you bring this bitch into my house. She was the same wench that caused my problem some months back. She even made me quarrel with your father because I was blinded with anger, and that caused him to leave me for months. This bitch will not come into my house, I will never allow her to marry into this family!"


    The old woman was spewing curses from her mouth then and there. She almost clawed on Chen Lin''s face, if not for her son shielding Chen Lin from her sight.


    "Mother, calm down, every misunderstanding between you two can be cleared up. Chen Lin is the woman I want to marry, and she''s already carrying your grandchild!"


    "What grandchild?" The old woman screeched.


    Her son repeated what he had just said, and she nearly gave him a slap.


    Seeing that she couldn''t bear to hit her own son, she tried to slap Chen Lin instead, but her son shielded her with his back, and the slap landed on his back.


    "Son, what do you think you''re doing? Allow me to teach this whore a lesson. I don''t want to know if she''s pregnant or not. But what I know is that she can never marry into this family, unless you want it to happen over my dead body?"


    Then she stared daggers at Chen Lin who was still hiding behind her son, while seething in rage.


    "S.l.u.t! So you even know how to open your legs for my son and get pregnant for him? Better come out here because I am going to teach you a huge lesson that your mother forgot to teach you. And if you know what is good for you, abort that child you are carrying since you want to use it to tie my son down so that he would marry you, because I will never acknowledge the both of you!"


    Chen Lin was quite surprised to meet the old woman who had caused trouble in her shop and nearly ruined its reputation.


    But now, the old woman was cursing at her. And as if that wasn''t enough for her, she had to bring her mother and her unborn child into the matter.


    "Old woman it seems like something is wrong with you, or have you forgotten the despicable act you did? Should I show you the CCTV footage from our store that day in case you have selective memory loss?"


    "Bitch! You still dare to talk back at me. Son, have you see the kind of human being you want to marry into our family, the type that talks back to her elders?" The old woman said to her son after shooting daggers at Chen Lin.


    "Mom but you cursed at her first. She''s not at fault," Her son said with a frown while still standing in between the two women that were ready to fight each other to death when given the slightest chance.


    "So she should talk back to me?" The Old woman retorted in anger.

 Chapter 214 - Exs wife arrives.

    "Mom but you cursed at her first. She''s not at fault," Her son said with a frown while still standing in between the two women that were ready to fight each other to death when given the slightest chance.


    "So she should talk back at me?" The old woman retorted in anger.


    "Mother, I didn''t say that," Her son answered tiredly.


    "But that is what you mean. I don''t care! All I know is that this s.l.u.t will never enter this family as long as I am still around," the old woman snarled while pointing at Chen Lin.


    Chen Lin scoffed, "You are such an uncouth and unruly woman who doesn''t know simple manners and ethics. I have never heard you speak a simple sentence without adding curse words since my two interactions with you. I am just wondering which family you grew up in, and how you managed to show you shameless self outside."


    "You.....you bitch, how dare you?" The old woman exclaimed, finally losing herself due to extreme anger.


    Her body language showed that she was exhibiting hostility.


    Chen Lin didn''t even retort. Instead, she stared at the angry woman with the look that said, ''See I told you. You can''t say a simple sentence without adding a curse word.''


    Seeing that smug look on face, the old woman raised her hand to scratch Chen Lin''s face. But Chen Lin stood there without moving an inch, while the man jumped in to hold his mother back.


    "Son, leave me so that I can teach this whore a lesson!" The old woman screamed, with her fingers stretched, while still trying to claw Chen Lin''s face.


    "Mother, please stop this!" Her son said to her, as sweat formed on his forehead while breathing heavily, while still holding his irrational mother back.


    "I can''t be bothered with you," Chen Lin said as she picked her handbag before turning to look at the man.


    "When you are done calming her down, come and find me," Chen Lin said before turning to leave, without sparing the mother and son pair another glance.


    "Lin''er, please come back," the man said as he tried to chase after her, but his mother held him back.


    "Where do you think you are going? Let me tell you now, don''t try to take a step out of this house." the old woman warned authoritatively.


    The man stopped moving and directed an angry stare towards his mother. He then took off her hands that was squeezing his clothes away, before going into his room and banging the door.


    After this scene, Chen Lin and the old woman never got along, and that was how it affected her relationship with her ex.


    Back to the present.


    Hearing her ask about his mother in that manner, he couldn''t blame her nor get angry. However, he knew that she wasn''t interested in knowing about his mother''s health or how she had been faring these years.


    He knew that she just wanted to make fun of his mother''s situation if actually there was anything for her to laugh about.


    "She''s fine." He said, giving a simple answer.


    Chen Lin honestly didn''t care, because she picked up her chopsticks and started eating without giving him any reaction.


    Seeing that she was uninterested, the man sighed before picking up his chopsticks as well.


    As they ate in silence, the man wanted to say something but stopped when he saw that Chen Lin was enjoying her food. So he kept quiet, for fear of ruining her appetite.


    When they finished eating, the waiters came to clear up the plates and left after pouring them each a cup of digesting tea.


    Chen Lin took a sip from her teacup and closed her eyes to savour the taste of the tea.


    "How is our daughter doing?" The man asked, finally breaking the silence while running his thumb on the glass rim.


    Chen Lin placed her teacup on the saucer that was on top of the table. She then looked at him and replied, "She is fine, and she is doing very well."


    The man nodded. Then hesitated for a few seconds before finally asking, not daring to look Chen Lin in the eyes, "Does she ask of me?"


    Chen Lin stared at him as if she was looking at a fool. Then she laughed out loud.


    Watching the manner at which the woman was laughing at him was alone for him to feel like a fool.


    So with his scrunched up face, he questioned, "Why are you laughing at me that way?"


    Chen Lin laughed for a while before saying, "Nothing."


    "What do you mean by nothing?" The man asked with a frown.


    "You are a funny man. How do you expect our daughter to ask about you? She doesn''t know you that well. She doesn''t have any relationship with you, and you didn''t contribute anything to nurture her, apart from the single s.p.e.r.m you contributed to conceiving her. You didn''t meet up after I was discharged from the hospital after giving birth to her. You didn''t watch her grow either. So how do you expect her to ask about you?" Chen Lin finished the last sentence before drinking half the content of the teacup to soothe her throat.


    The man pondered on what Chen Lin had just said and found out that they were all true.


    His heartfelt so troubled that he didn''t contribute anything towards the daughter he had with his beloved woman. He felt so ashamed, and this made him hate his wife more. Because the current predicament wouldn''t have been in this state if not for her intervention.


    The man hurriedly held Chen Lin''s hands and said with a frantic expression.


    "Lin''er you have to forgive me, and also tell our daughter to do the same. You have to explain what happened to us in the past, and what I told you earlier. I want our little family to reunite."


    Just then, the door to their room was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman came in, furious.


    She glanced at the man and woman in the room, and then at their hands that were joined together. Then she matched into the room with a sour facial expression.


    "I knew it! I knew that you were cheating on me, and it''s with this bitch!" The woman yelled as she threw glances at the two of them while pointing fingers at them as well.

 Chapter 215 - Chen Lin embarrassed her exs wife, and the woman left in tears.

    "I knew it! I knew that you were cheating on me, and it''s with this bitch!". The woman said angrily as she threw glances at the two of them while pointing fingers at them as well.


    "What are you doing here?!. Have you been tailing me?!". The man asked with a raised voice, and with a stern expression on his face.


    He was indeed shocked to see the woman he hated the most right there. Now she had ruined the atmosphere he was in with his beloved.


    "Why do you care what I am doing here?. What are you doing with this shameless woman that doesn''t know how to stay an arm''s length from another woman''s husband?!". The middle-aged woman sneered.


    Chen Lin glanced at the woman who was less beautiful than her and had wrinkles which showed that she had been stressed for a long period of time. Then she moved her gaze away and now focused it on the man sitting opposite of her, staring death daggers at his wife.


    With her lips curled up in a slight smile, she asked him, "is this old cargo your wife?".


    "Who did you call an old cargo?!". The woman asked with a twisted facial expression while pointing at Chen Lin.


    "Did I mention your name?". Chen Lin turned to look at her while the woman''s husband was still staring daggers at her.


    The woman totally ignored her husband''s stare and pointed fingers at Chen Lin. "Then who were you talking about?".


    Chen Lin pointed at the man and asked, "I was talking about his wife. Or are you the one?. But if you are the one, then I was rightfully referring to you. You already look so old, and I can see some wrinkles very visible on your aging face".


    The woman had a panic expression on her face as she brought her palms to her face to caress them, thereby tracing the wrinkles on her face.


    When she felt the lines on her face, she felt so ashamed that another woman embarrassed her in such a manner before her husband.


    "You Bitch! How is that any of your business?!". The woman screeched as she was a little away from giving Chen Lin a slap.


    Chen Lin saw her angry face and chuckled before saying to the man that had been quiet for a while now, "I never knew that this was your taste. And your wife has the same awful attitude as your mother. I can only say that birds of the same feathers flock together. No wonder she would force you to marry her, it''s because they are the same".


    The man who had not moved a muscle since now had his face scrunched up in a frown. He hit the table hard with his palm, but the tea in the cups, didn''t pour out, and that''s to show you how strong and hard the table was.


    "Didn''t you hear my question earlier?!". The man yelled angrily.


    The woman became frightened and took a step back unconsciously. But realizing her actions, she stood in place and sneered, "Your question doesn''t deserve to be answered. And as for you, husband snatcher, leave my husband alone!".


    "Are you out of your mind?!. Who gave you permission to speak in this manner?!". The man howled.


    Chen Lin finished the tea in her teacup before saying it to the woman in a smile, "Since you called me a husband snatcher, why don''t I prove It to you".


    Turning to look at the man who had a deadpan expression on his face, she gave him her signature smile. "I will consider your proposal".


    Then she stared at the who was looking at them wide-eyed, before proceeding.


    "I didn''t want to be the reason for a marriage break up, but you have dared me over and over again, and I am not a pushover. Just a ''Yes'' from me, and your relationship with this man here, will be OVER!".


    "Who do you think you are, for you to make such a stupid statement?". The woman sneered not believing her ears.


    She felt that Chen Lin was trying to frighten her, and so she didn''t take her words seriously. After all, she already had two children for him, a male and a female child. And besides, they have been married for so many years, why will he want to break up with her because of that woman.


    Chen Lin answered her, "The only woman whom your husband loves, and has in his heart, and the woman who is about to take him away from you".


    "You are crazy! Husband is this true? Tell me she''s joking". The woman asked while staring at her husband nervously.


    "Let''s get a divorce!. I can''t stand your sight any longer!". The man declared.


    The woman thought she had just heard the most heartbreaking news ever directed at her, as her face seemed to have aged terribly.


    "You.....you.....are...lying. I refuse to believe you!". The woman said with a panicked expression.


    "I don''t care if you believe me or not. I have said what I wanted my mind. We are getting a divorce". The man replied before downing them the remaining content of his teacup.


    Chen Lin smiled before pouring more tea into his teacup, and the man smiled at her gratefully before downing down the tea.


    The man''s wife just stood there and watched their lovely interactions, totally shutting her out from their space.


    She almost felt that she was the one breaking up a perfect couple, instead of the other way round. She felt that she really was the third wheel in their relationship.


    Her heartfelt so bittered while watching them interact. And as she couldn''t stand their sight, she ran away, crying.


    Seeing that the annoying woman had left. Chen Lin relaxed and picked up her bag to leave.


    "Lin''er you really meant what you said right?". The man asked anxiously while holding her back.


    "Did I say anything?". Chen Lin asked with an amused expression.


    The man released her hands awkwardly, not knowing what to say.


    "I did not promise you anything. I only said that I will consider your proposal. But first, you have to settle your problems". Chen Lin said.


    "No problem, I will divorce that woman as soon as possible, and then come for you and our daughter". The man assured her with a serious look.


    Chen Lin just nodded before walking out of the room, leaving the man to ponder on his words.

 Chapter 216 - Delmas Andrien and his team arrive.

    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei returned home, they sent a Mercedes van to pick up the wedding gown designer, Delmas Andrien, and his team from the airport. Also, three bodyguards were sent to serve as an escort with their own car, on seeing that the time for their flight landing was close.


    After an hour, Delmas Andrien and his team arrived at Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s new home.


    Chen Lihua was so excited to learn of their arrival as she couldn''t wait to see her gown, although it has not been completed.


    As she just came out from the shower, she hurried into her closet to find an appropriate outfit. At least she had to look decent since she was going to meet with important visitors.


    Meanwhile, Liu Longwei was busy with an urgent call, so he couldn''t come out to meet with them.


    Comparing their (Liu Longwei and Delmas Andrien) status, Liu Longwei doesn''t have to go out to personally welcome them.


    But Liu Longwei had already made arrangements, before their visit. He assigned his two butlers to welcome them if by chance something crops up, that is if he or Chen Lihua wasn''t available.


    So the two Butlers immediately went to receive the guests.


    Delmas Andrien and his team of two females and two males had several suitcases with them.


    The Butlers welcomed them with a proper smile and showed them into the house.


    Delmas and his team sat in the living room meant for visitors, and they were served fruit juices, bottled water, fruits, and cookies to serve as refreshments, as they waited for the couple.


    "Andrien!" Chen Lihua called out excitedly when she came into the living room with Liu Longwei.


    "Lily!" Delmas called out, as he and his team stood up to greet them.


    "Oh, my Lily! You are looking as beautiful as ever," Delmas spoke in French while smiling at her.


    "Thank you!" Chen Lihua said, finally walking over to them. She even abandoned her husband in the process.


    Liu Longwei was lucky that he had long legs as well, so he followed her immediately while wondering what his woman was so excited about.


    Coming to her senses, Chen Lihua held Liu Longwei''s arm and introduced him to Delmas while speaking in French.


    With an excited voice and a beautiful smile, she introduced both sides. "This is my husband, Longwei. Longwei this is the renowned wedding gown designer based in Paris."


    "Hello, Mr. Longwei, it''s an honor to meet you," Delmas spoke up first while stretching forth his hand for a handshake.


    Liu Longwei shook his hand and replied with a tight smile, "Nice to meet you."


    (NOTE: All communications between, Delmas and his team and Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei are all in FRENCH).


    Chen Lihua noticed his stance before leaning in to speak in his ear with gritted teeth, with a fake smile on her face, "Smile."


    Liu Longwei threw a glance at her before giving a polite smile to Delmas and his team.


    "Please have a seat," Liu Longwei said while gesturing to them to sit down.


    "Merci beaucoup (thank you very much)," Delmas and his team answered before sitting on the couch.


    "De Rien (no problem)," Liu Longwei answered as he sat on the couch with Chen Lihua.


    Then the two teams talked for a while before the servants showed them to their rooms.


    And after they freshened up, they came out to enjoy the French dishes Chen Lihua asked the chefs to prepare for them.


    "When are you starting with work?" Chen Lihua asked just as she wiped her mouth with the napkin.


    Delmas did the same before answering her with a charming smile, "This night."


    "Why so soon? You should take a rest to recover from the jet lag. You can then start work tomorrow morning," Chen Lihua suggested.


    Delmas refused her with a smile, "Time waits for no man, and I don''t want to rush the finishing of your gown. And besides, the afternoon and evening are enough for us to get over the change in the environment."


    "If you say so. If you need anything at all, the two servants assigned to you will help you out," Chen Lihua said.


    "Lily, since you''ve seen me, you have been on about your gown. Do you care about me at all? Because we couldn''t ship the gown and the materials, we had to pack them all in our travel bags. And then no much space was left for personal items," Delmas said with a fake frown.


    "Oh my! Am so sorry about that. But you know I care about you and your team, and that''s why I''ve made so many arrangements, to ensure that you are comfortable. Don''t worry, after taking a nap, you can send two members out of your team to the shopping mall, to get some necessities you all might need. Then, you start work with the other two. Don''t worry, the bill is on me," Chen Lihua said with a beautiful smile, as her dimples were displayed.


    "That''s why I love you," Delmas said with a satisfied smile, as he went around the table to give Chen Lihua a peck on the back of her palms.


    Chen Lihua just chuckled before leaving to instruct the butlers to make some arrangements for two of Delmas assistants that would be going out to shop.


    Then she took the elevator to the third floor and went into her room to make some phone calls. As most guests that were coming for her wedding will start arriving from tomorrow, including her friends, especially the bridesmaids.


    Liu Longwei did not have lunch with them, as he went out after answering an urgent call.


    Meanwhile, somewhere in country C.


    Liu Huiling and her husband just finished eating when she reminded him of her brother''s wedding that was coming up in four and a half days.


    Then they argue about him coming back late, and him cheating on her.


    "Longwei''s wedding is in a few days, and I just hope that you would cancel any appointment you have scheduled for two days to attend the wedding. And I also hope that you would stop coming home late and spend some time with the children," Liu Huiling said to her husband, without a smile on her face.


    The man with the average looks glanced at her with a frown as he asked in a harsh voice.


    "Why do I have to cancel all the appointments I have just because of your brother''s wedding?"

 Chapter 217 - Liu Huiling and her husband have an argument.

    The man with the average looks glanced at her with a frown as he asked in a harsh voice.


    "Why do I have to cancel all the appointments I have just because of your brother''s wedding?"


    Liu Huiling scoffed, "You must be joking with me, right? I already mentioned my brother''s wedding to you three months ago. I was expecting you to have that in mind. You didn''t even come to the Chinese wedding, and everyone kept asking about you."


    "Why would they ask about me? It''s not like the wedding will not hold without me," Huiling''s husband replied with a snort at the end of his statement.


    "Can you listen to yourself? Do you think I don''t know that you''ve been cheating on me? I know that you were with one of those side chicks of yours on the business trip you went for, and that''s the reason you were not present at my brother''s wedding," Liu Huiling sneered.


    Her husband was dumbstruck for a while, for he was too shocked to say anything.


    ''How did this woman find out about this?''


    A sudden thought came to him as he pointed his finger at her while saying with a furious expression, "Did you send someone to follow me? How long have you known about this?"


    "So you are indirectly admitting that you have been cheating on me? Do you think I don''t know about your famous mistresses and other little girls you sleep around with? I don''t blame you at all. I blame myself for choosing you over the millions of reputable suitors that came for me. Even despite my family''s advice," Liu Huiling said with a tinge of regret in her voice, while her face still remained ordinary.


    "I knew that your family was not anything good. You wealthy people always like to show off your fortune. Are you regretting why you got married to me? Too late!" The man taunted.


    "Why did you hide this dirty side of yours before we got married? You are just a green snake in green grass. Don''t think that I am powerless and that I can''t do anything. The only reason I am letting you be is because of our children," Liu Huiling told him as a matter of fact.


    "Are you threatening me?" The man asked in anger.


    Liu Huiling answers without a care in the world, "If that''s what you think it is, then so be it."


    "Good! At least you have learned something new from that elder brother of yours. Your family is no good!" The man said as he got up from his seat.


    "Have you forgotten that my ''no good family'' made you what you are today, and you still have the guts to insult them you ungrateful person that bites the hands that feeds him. Well, I don''t care what you say. All I know is that we are going to the wedding together, so if you know what is good for you, you had better clear up your schedule," Liu Huiling said. Then without giving him any chance to respond, she walked away.


    Liu Huiling is a strong-minded woman. So her husband''s cheating will not in any way affect her mood, even though it did at the very beginning when she found out about this.


    The reason she agreed to marry her husband was that he cared a lot about her in their dating days, and showered her with lots of love back then.


    But who knew that all of it was a facade, or maybe the leopard had eaten his conscience.


    Back in those days when they were dating, he used to be at her beck and call. He did everything she ever asked for, although she was never unreasonable with her demands.


    Her husband fulfilled everything she requested. He supported her and helped her make some crucial decisions in her life that helped her immensely.


    But what went wrong?


    After they had their second child, his attitude started to change.


    When she first introduced him to her family, her parents, and grandmother welcomed him politely. And the second time she brought him to visit them, they welcomed him with open arms because of the little interactions he had with their daughter. Thus they concluded that he was okay.


    Although the first time she told her mother about him and showed his pictures to her, she asked her if she was sure the man really loved her. And also told her some things about not marrying people from their class.


    It''s not like Madam Liu looked down on them, but because of finding who truly loved her because most of them (middle class) might be after her status and money, and not love.


    But in the end, she left the ball in her daughter''s court, since she was not the person getting married. So Liu Huiling was free to make any decision that suited her.


    Had it been, she listened to her mother''s advice or maybe assessed her husband very well before saying ''yes'' to his proposal. She wouldn''t have had to suffer what she was currently going through.


    The worst part of the situation is that he was not remorseful at his actions at all.


    Instead of him to apologize for his ugly actions, he started pouring the blame on her family, even insulting her brother that made him who he was today.


    Well, there was no need for crying over spilled milk.


    Liu Huiling decided not to interfere with what he was doing. She felt that there was nothing she could say to him that would make him take his actions into consideration.


    The only reason that would make her caution him is if the matter involved her family''s reputation even if it already did.


    And the only thing still keeping her in this hell of marriage was her children, and that is why she has not yet considered a divorce.


    Later that night, her husband left the house and went to a party at a well-known clubhouse, and he only came back the next morning, drunk and reeking of alcohol.

 Chapter 218 - Chen Lihua teases Liu Longwei just before they go to bed.

    While Delmas'' two assistants left to shop for their necessities such as clothes, etc., the other two helped him set up the workroom.


    Late in the evening when they had finally settled down and started to work, Chen Lihua entered the workroom to watch them.


    But in less than five minutes, she was thrown out of the room.


    Chen Lihua glared at the blank door furiously, before walking off in a huff and going back to the study room. Liu Longwei was surprised to see Chen Lihua, who had gone to watch Delmas and his team work, coming back in less than ten minutes.


    He made a mental calculation.


    It will take a minute and a few seconds to get there with the elevator, and at most three to four minutes to get there using the stairs. What is she doing back here?


    Looking up from his laptop, he saw his frowning wife and asked in concern, "What happened? Did Delmas encounter any problem? Or did someone get on your nerves?"


    Chen Lihua reacted negatively on his first two questions, but gave a positive response to his last question, still with a frown on her face.


    Seeing her nod her head, Liu Longwei asked, "Who dares to annoy my Queen a few days to our wedding?"


    Chen Lihua sighed and shifted comfortably on the couch, "It''s Delmas!"


    "Delmas? What happened?" Liu Longwei asked with knitted brows while trying to understand the situation.


    "He chased me out from the room without considering that I am the bride. He said he couldn''t concentrate on his work if I remained in the room. He said that I was too beautiful, and so, will distract him. So he pushed me out of the room. What kind of logic is that? I know he was just giving random excuses just to get rid of me," Chen Lihua snorted at the end of her statement.


    Liu Longwei chuckled in a low voice while looking at his wife''s funny expression.


    "What''s funny?" Chen Lihua asked in an irritated tone.


    Liu Longwei waved his hand, "Nothing. Why are you in a hurry to watch them work when you know you would still have so many opportunities to see your dress? Or don''t you trust Delmas?"


    "I trust him. But it is just that I can''t wait to see my dress. I am very anxious and impatient", Chen Lihua replied as she adjusted the medicated glasses over her eyes.


    "Well, you don''t need to be anxious since you trust Delmas. You are the bride, so let your bridal dress be a surprise to you. What will you do now if you were to see a half-finished dress? Of what good will it bring you?"


    "Well, that''s not a problem," Chen Lihua said sitting uprightly before crossing her legs.


    "My heart, spirit, body, and soul would relax once I set my eyes on my dress," Chen Lihua said in a relaxed tone.


    Liu Longwei shook his head speechlessly before asking a serious and important question.


    "Why are you wearing your glasses, do your eyes hurt?"


    Chen Lihua pushed her glasses farther up the rim of her nose as she responded, "Oh! My eyes do not hurt at all. I am just wearing it for preventive measures."


    "Preventive measures?" Liu Longwei asked in confusion, not entirely understanding what she meant by that.


    "Yes. I am taking preventive measures for the future. Our wedding is just around the corner, so I have to take good care of my eyes. I wouldn''t like to wear any medicated glasses at my own wedding. That would be so... So by wearing them, I am securing my sight for future use," Chen Lihua answered.


    "Ok. When are you dinner (reception) gowns arriving?" Liu Longwei inquired with another question before opening an incoming email.


    "Tomorrow," Chen Lihua answered excitedly as her eyes shone brightly.


    Liu Longwei smiled inwardly on seeing his wife''s ecstatic behavior.


    But then he thought to himself, ''I thought brides would always be nervous a few days to their wedding, but why is my bride''s attitude quite different?''


    "It''s late, go and have a rest," Liu Longwei said to her warmly.


    "What about you?" Chen Lihua asked with raised brows.


    Liu Longwei had a smirk on his face while he asked, "Do you care about me?"


    With furrowed brows, Chen Lihua gave him a hard stare as she asked, "What kind of silly question is that? Of course, I care about you. You are my husband, and I like you."


    Liu Longwei chortled, "I like it whenever you call me ''your husband''. It gives me joy and brings satisfaction to my ego."


    "Yen yen yen". Chen Lihua blabbed with a funny looked on her face, before continuing, "See your mouth."


    Liu Longwei erupted in laughter as he found her actions funny.


    "Let''s leave together?" Chen Lihua said in conclusion.


    She wanted him to take a rest as well. Not just her alone is allowed to take a rest.


    "Are we spending the night together?" Liu Longwei asked with a brilliant smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, "We are not going to sleep together till our wedding night."


    "Why?" Liu Longwei asked, wanting to know her reason.


    "Don''t you know that this is the time temptation is always at its peak? Let''s go," Chen Lihua said as she stood up from the couch.


    Liu Longwei felt she was right, and so he took permission to reply to the new email, before picking up his phone and following her out.


    Once Chen Lihua entered her room, she shut the door behind her and went to have a bath.


    Then she laid on bed with her long hair sprawled on it. Next, she took a picture of her s.e.xy nightwear, which comprised of little shorts that exposed most of her laps and legs, and the singlet that exposed her deep cleavage.


    Now, the next thing she did was so unexpected that the recipient of the message was not prepared at all to receive such a message.


    After sending the picture out, Chen Lihua quickly went to make sure that her door was locked properly, before lying down peacefully with a radiant smile on her face.


    When Liu Longwei got the message notification from his wife, he quickly clicked to open the message as he wondered what important information she sent to him.


    But when he clicked the message open, what he saw ignited the burning flames he had buried deep in his heart and had chosen to forget.


    He saw his wife''s exposed laps, her deep cleavage, her s.e.xy eyes, and lastly her s.e.xy posture. He almost went mad.


    The more he looked, the more the bulge in between his legs increased in size.


    With the pitiful state that he was in, he could only look and not touch.


    Thus, he sent a message to Chen Lihua before walking into the bathroom to have a late-night cold shower.


    The message said, ''Just wait till our wedding night. Then I make sure you lie in bed all day.''

 Chapter 219 - A little get together with the girlfriends.

    The next morning, Chen Lihua pretended as if she didn''t do anything wrong to her husband last night. She still laughed and joked with him as usual, not knowing what Liu Longwei had in-store for her.


    Today, another set of Delmas team arrived, they were a total of five females. They arrived early this morning.


    Chen Lihua kept wondering why Delmas needed a team with nine people simply to finish up one wedding gown.


    She even wanted to take a sneak peek into the room to know why the gown required ten people to complete, but she was found out by Delmas before she could even enter the room.


    Delmas had to send her away and at the same time, report her to Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei took Chen Lihua away to the balcony before asking, "Why are you in such a hurry?"


    "You can''t blame me. I just wanted to take a peek at the dress, and know why it demanded ten people to make," Chen Lihua said.


    "Just forget it. Maybe Delmas wants to surprise you. And by taking a peek at the dress this early, even before it''s completed, will ruin the whole surprise," Liu Longwei said, trying to reason with her.


    "That''s right, maybe he wants to surprise me, and I like surprises. But it''s hard to wait," Chen Lihua whined like a little child.


    "Keep yourself busy, and then you wouldn''t have the time to think about the gown," Liu Longwei said.


    "Alright. My girlfriends should be arriving this afternoon, and we have to send cars that would pick them up from the airport, and drop them at the hotel," Chen Lihua said with a little excitement.


    "Don''t worry, I will take care of it," Liu Longwei assured her.


    "Thank you. The girls and I have a little reunion to do this night," Chen Lihua informed him.


    "Ok," Liu Longwei said before going inside the house with her.


    In the afternoon, Chen Lihua''s female friends, mostly her bride''s maids, arrived and were immediately sent to the hotel they would be staying.


    Chen Lihua was all smiles as she conversed with them on the phone.


    Their arrivals made her know that her wedding was in four days.


    In the evening, Chen Lihua called her stylist to come to the house and do a makeover for her.


    When her stylist arrived, they started their work immediately.


    They picked a dress that looked simple but casual for her since she was only going to meet up with her female friends.


    Her hair was styled in a simple updo, then a nude makeup was applied on her face.


    She had a necklace around her neck, a pair of pearl-studded earrings, and a bangle that had the same color as her dress, a white XL bag, and a set of heels.


    The dress had a simple design and was a little short on her. But Chen Lihua didn''t care since she was meeting up with her friends, and she found no problem with the dress.


    Before she left, Liu Longwei gave her a peck on her cheeks before finally allowing her to go.


    At first, when he saw her, he felt like caging her in the house so that no one would catch a glimpse of her beauty. But he just couldn''t do that because it wasn''t right.


    Then he wanted to kiss her lips, but Chen Lihua didn''t let him, saying that he would smudge her lipstick and that she didn''t have the time to redo it. So he could only kiss her cheeks.


    After watching his wife leave with the bodyguards assigned to her, he went back into the house.


    When Chen Lihua got to the hotel, she didn''t come down from the car. Instead, she called her friends to tell them that she was already waiting for them and that they should come down.


    Her friends came out of the hotel entrance together in no time. They were all dressed up beautifully, which showed how prepared they were.


    When they got to the Mercedes Benz Sprinter, the car door opened for them, and they climbed in.


    They shrieked in excitement when they saw Chen Lihua.


    Jessica and Angel were amongst them.


    "OMG! Lily, you look so beautiful!"


    "It''s been a while baby girl."


    "You look hot."


    Many compliments came her way. But because they couldn''t hug her because of the height of the car, they blew her kisses as they took a seat.


    "Thanks for the compliment, you guys look great as well," Chen Lihua said with a beautiful smile.


    "We know," They shrieked in excitement.


    This particular Mercedes Benz Sprinter could contain eleven a.d.u.l.ts, including the driver. So the car was enough for all of them.


    Some of Chen Lihua''s friends felt around the car.


    "Lily this car smells like money. Your husband must be very rich," One of them said as she touched the car seat.


    "He is not just rich. He is wealthy," One of them replied, moving her fingers around.


    "Not just wealthy. He is one of the top ten wealthiest people in the world," Another one added.


    "Please, please. Enough with all these already." Chen Lihua said with a smile while moving her left hand.


    And this little action of hers nearly made their eyeballs pop out from their eyes on seeing her beautiful engagement ring, apart from Angel and Jessica. They had already seen it because they were present at her little engagement party.


    "OMG! Lily let me see your finger," One of them who was sitting at close range with Chen Lihua said as she grabbed her hand without warning.


    "Wow! This shit is real," The Lady said as she fumbled the ring in-between her two fingers.


    Hahaha. Angel laughed as she replied, "Did you actually think that her husband would give her a fake ring?"


    The girls talked about the ring for a while before Chen Lihua changed the topic.


    She brought out two bottles of champagne bottles from the little freezer and champagne glasses.


    Next, she handed over the bottles of wine to two friends and asked them to pop the champagne and pour each of them a drink.


    "That''s my girl," Jessica said with a smile when she saw the champagne bottles while giving Chen Lihua a thumbs-up.


    "Let''s toast to a healthy life," Chen Lihua said as she raised her glass.


    The others followed up as well, and they clinked glasses together.


    "I hope you all got me a little souvenir?" Chen Lihua asked with narrowed eyes.


    "Of course we got you something, but you will get it tomorrow," One of them said before taking a sip from her glass.

 Chapter 220 - Party after Party.

    When they got to the high-end restaurant, the car door opened, and Chen Lihua''s two bodyguards came over to help her out from the car.


    They each held one hand as she stepped down from the car.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua said to them gratefully.


    "Wow, girlfriend, that gown looks hot on you," One of her friends said as she sent a playful wink towards her way.


    "Yeah yeah. Look at those long legs of hers," Another said ogling at Chen Lihua''s legs.


    "It reminds me of those runway days," Angel said with a smile.


    "So can our future bride to be, give us the honor of seeing you catwalk?" Jessica pleaded with a smile.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at her. But then, she smiled before walking to the restaurant''s entrance runway style, amidst the cheers from her friends.


    "OMG! She actually did that," Jessica said, as she and the rest hurriedly followed after her.


    Chen Lihua''s bodyguards followed after them as well.


    Just as they all settled down in the private room, one of the ladies said.


    "Lily, it''s been a long time. Don''t you miss being on the runway?" One of them asked curiously.


    "If you don''t miss it, we really miss seeing you on the runway," Another said while flipping her blonde hair backward.


    "Let''s not talk about the runway, because I will quit once my contract expires in January," Chen Lihua replied, making her stance clear.


    "Why do you have to quit, I thought you loved your modeling work?" Jessica asked with a serious gaze.


    "I indeed love modeling more than anything, but there are reasons why I have to quit," Chen Lihua said and took a breath, before continuing.


    "I have relocated to China now. I am a cardiothoracic surgeon who is always busy in the hospital. And lastly, I now have a ''Married woman'' tag on me, coupled with the influential family I am married to."


    "Are you serious?" One of them asked unbelievably.


    "It may be true that my husband might not stop me from traveling in and out of the country for modeling jobs and runways. But on my own, I have to quit before he tells me to, and I can''t combine these two tiring careers together," Chen Lihua said, picking up the menu.


    "Are you for real?" Another asked in unbelief while running her hand through her hair.


    "Do I look like I am joking? See, I am now married, and there are some certain things I have to stop doing. It will be for my good and family as well," Chen Lihua assured them.


    "Oh, come on, let''s cheer up. We came out here to celebrate and party hard. So why the long faces?" Angel said with a smile, as she tried to brighten up the atmosphere.


    "Yeah that''s right, let''s order what we want and celebrate. The bill will be on our bride to be", One of them said as she pointed at Chen Lihua.


    "Like seriously? You all want to finish my money, huh, is that your plan?" Chen Lihua said in disbelief while looking at her so-called friends.


    "Well is not actually a plan. Don''t worry, the bills will be on me when my turn comes to be the bride," Jessica said with a smile while nodding her head.


    Four waiters came in to take their food and drink orders. And in no time, their food was served.


    When their food was served, they picked up their cutlery ???? and began to eat after having a toast, clinking their wine glasses.


    In the middle of eating and chatting, a knock came on the door, and one of Chen Lihua''s friends said, "Come on in."


    Then one of the bodyguards standing guard outside the door came in holding a phone in his hand.


    "Ma''am, Sir wants to have a word with you," The bodyguard said once he stepped into the room while staring at Chen Lihua''s direction.


    Chen Lihua looked up a muttered softly, "Oh", while wondering while her husband didn''t call her line.


    But from the actions of the bodyguard, she knew that the call was still connected, so she told her girlfriends to quiet down, before taking the phone.


    Placing the phone on her left ear, her voice penetrated through, "Hey."


    "How are you?" Liu Longwei asked as he glanced at his empty study room while sitting on his office chair.


    "Am good, just having fun with my friends. How about you?" Chen Lihua asked before wiping her mouth gently with a napkin.


    "Nothing much is going on here, and I''m kind of missing you," Liu Longwei responded in a gentle voice while tapping his ball pen on the table.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly before assuring him, "I just left the house an hour ago, and you are already missing me? Don''t worry, I will come back soon."


    "Ok, I will be waiting," Liu Longwei replied.


    "Why didn''t you call my line instead of the bodyguards?" Chen Lihua asked immediately before Liu Longwei could terminate the call.


    "That? I just wanted to make sure they (bodyguards) were in a close range with you. You know our wedding is just around the corner, so they have to protect you well. Otherwise, I would skin them alive," Liu Longwei said with a serious tone.


    Chen Lihua laughed out loud, ''Skin them alive?''


    "You don''t have to worry about me, I will be fine. Goodbye," Chen Lihua said with a big smile.


    "Ok, goodbye. I love you," Liu Longwei said heartily. His stone face was full of smiles.


    Chen Lihua blushed as she ended the call without giving him a reply.


    Liu Longwei chuckled when he heard the sound of the already terminated call.


    ''She must have been shy because she was with her friends, and so didn''t want to reply to me,'' Liu Longwei said to himself.


    Chen Lihua handed the phone over to the bodyguard, and he walked away with it.


    "Wow! Lily, this is Public Display of Affection!" One of them exclaimed with an open mouth.


    "That''s right Lily, this is totally a PDA even though your husband is not present," Another said while moving her fingers about.


    "What did he say to you that is making you blush so hard?" Jessica asked with raised lips.


    "Nothing," Chen Lihua blushed and moved her gaze away.


    The girls looked at themselves while giving each other an eye.


    Then the two girls sitting closest to Chen Lihua immediately got up and started tickling her waist.


    Chen Lihua didn''t see that coming. But she started wriggling her waist to set herself free as she laughed out loud.


    "Hahaha. Please stop," Chen Lihua cried out.


    "Are you ready to answer us now?" Angel asked from the sides while laughing.


    "I will...talk, I.....will talk," Chen Lihua said as she surrendered.

 Chapter 221 - Chen Lihua meets Wu Bohai in a club house.

    Chen Lihua didn''t see that coming. But she started wriggling her waist to set herself free as she laughed out loud.


    "Hahaha. Please stop," Chen Lihua cried out.


    "Are you ready to answer us now?" Angel asked from the sides while laughing.


    "I will...talk, I.....will talk," Chen Lihua said as she surrendered.


    The two Ladies let her go but still continued standing close to her, in case she made a dash for the door.


    Chen Lihua calmed down a bit before responding to the curious cats, "He said he loved me."


    "Awwwnnnn," ???????? one of them cooed as she sent a wink to the blushing bride to be.


    "Oh, my God! I am even blushing on your behalf. That''s so sweet," Another said as she smiled while exposing her white teeth.


    Chen Lihua could feel her head swelling due to the compliments from her girlfriends, and her cheeks hurting because of the blushing.


    After teasing Chen Lihua for a bit longer, Jessica suggested, "Let''s go to a club to continue partying."


    "Oh yeah!" The girls exclaimed excitedly.


    "What?!" Chen Lihua clamored in shock.


    "You heard me right, we are all going to a club. We are certainly not asking for your permission," Jessica said, staring at the shocked Chen Lihua.


    "Oh! Ok. You girls should go ahead, and make sure to have loads of fun." Chen Lihua said, not understanding the situation.


    "What''s is this lady trying to say?" Angel turned to the girls and asked with her two hands out, and that too in confusion.


    One of them rolled her eyes at Chen Lihua playfully before explaining, "Lily, you are coming with us."


    Chen Lihua was shocked at first when she heard that she was coming with them. But then, she laughed it off, thinking it was a joke.


    "You girls must be joking. I am going home to my husband."


    "That''s not happening. You are definitely coming along with us. Your husband is not running away. After you are done playing with us, you can go back home to meet him," A chubby Lady named Caroline said. She wore a very revealing shiny dress.


    You could tell that she was ready to go clubbing.


    "But I am not interested, and I don''t like clubbing," Chen Lihua said as a matter of fact with a serious expression on her face. She tried talking some sense into her girlfriends when she confirmed that they were damn serious about taking her along with them.


    "We know you are not interested in clubbing. But this is a girl''s thing now. You might not have the opportunity to do this again after you get married. So come on baby girl, grab the opportunity knocking on your door right now," One of her friends said, flipping her hair.


    Jessica and one other lady both held one of Chen Lihua''s hands each and helped her to stand up.


    "Come on, let''s go. We won''t stay long there. The earlier we go, the earlier you will be home, lying next to your husband in bed," Caroline said while sending suggestive glances at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at her ridiculous statement.


    ''Only if she knew that she had her own bedroom, then maybe her thoughts wouldn''t run so far.''


    "But please, I beg you, just don''t sleep in the club. At least not for today,"


    Jessica pleaded with her while the others erupted in laughter.


    "Jessica like seriously?" Chen Lihua asked unbelievably.


    Forget the grave expression on Chen Lihua''s face. The truth is that she was beyond embarrassment.


    "Lily, don''t worry, this secret is between us friends, nobody will find out. But seriously, don''t sleep in the club like the first time. Otherwise, we would be embarrassed," One of her friends said with a smile while trying to control the laughter that was threatening to spill off her lips.


    "Come on, baby girl, don''t be mad at us, and let''s go partying!" Another exclaimed with a smile while standing up.


    "Woo-hoo! Move it, Move it, let''s go," Angel said as she stood up to whine her waist, and excited cheers resonated from the girls.


    Even Chen Lihua could not help smiling.


    So together with the girls, Chen Lihua went to one of the most exclusive clubhouses in City B.


    Once she entered the clubhouse, she felt her heartbeat, increase a few paces because of the loud music. And then, she squinted her eyes because of the blaring lights that were changing to different colors consistently. She was only able to adjust after a while because she has been used to the lights on the runway; though they were not colorful but monotonous.


    But to her surprise, she met Wu Bohai just as she approached the bar with her girlfriends. Her eyes went straight to his eye-catching pink hair, which was a different color from the one she last saw on him.


    He was carrying a short pink hair while laughing with the girls surrounding him.


    You could tell with the flirty look on his face that he was up to no good.


    Chen Lihua shook her head in disbelief and wanted to walk past him without alerting him, but Angel and Jessica called out to him because they recognized him since they attended Chen Lihua''s engagement party.


    "Heh, Bohai!" Angel and Jessica screamed because of the noisy environment.


    Chen Lihua almost covered her face because she didn''t want Wu Bohai to see her. Because immediately he catches sight of her, Liu Longwei would know she went to the club.


    What was she even thinking about? The bodyguards, the driver, and the GPS system installed in the car were enough to rat her out.


    Wu Bohai heard his name, and immediately he lost focus from the young girl offering him a drink and turned to look at the direction his name was called from.


    When he caught sight of the foreign Ladies, he became lost in thought, while trying to identify them.


    But when he saw Chen Lihua, his eyes lit up. He called out to her, "Sister-in-law!" as he immediately stood up and pushed through the girls surrounding him, and walked towards Chen Lihua and her entourage.


    Chen Lihua had no choice but to stop in her tracks before turning to him with a polite smile.


    "Sister-in-law? Lily, is he your brother-in-law?" One of Chen Lihua''s friends asked in confusion with her eyes still fixed on the approaching Wu Bohai.


    "No, he is not. He is my husband''s friend," Chen Lihua managed to reply not allowing the loud music to swallow her voice.


    "Then that''s great because this guy is a big flirt". She managed to say just before Wu Bohai reached them.

 Chapter 222 - Wu Bohai addressed as a flirt.

    "Hello, ladies," Wu Bohai greeted the ladies before turning to the side to greet Chen Lihua with a smile.


    "Hello, sister-in-law, what are you doing here, is Longwei with you?"


    A slight smile appeared on Chen Lihua''s face as she glanced at him. "Hello, it''s Lihua."


    Wu Bohai bent his back slightly. And with his finger behind his right ear, he asked, "What?"


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him, "Call me Lihua and not sister-in-law. I am not your sister-in-law."


    Wu Bohai chuckled softly, "Longwei will kill me for that."


    "He won''t do anything. It''s my name, so I have granted you permission to address me by my name," Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    Wu Bohai whistled and moved his shoulders from side to side, dancing to the music, "Ok, if you say so."


    "Longwei didn''t come with you?" Wi Bohai asked again.


    "No, he didn''t. My friends wanted to come here, so they dragged me along," Chen Lihua said while pointing at her friends.


    "That''s good. Did you ladies come alone or.....?" Wu Bohai trailed off.


    Chen Lihua looked at him before taking a glance at her friends and then looking back at him again, "Of course, we came alone," Or did you want us to come with anyone?


    Chen Lihua said the second part of the sentence to herself.


    She was confused and didn''t know why he was asking all those questions.


    The only reason she was responding to his questions was that he was related to Liu Longwei. If not, she wouldn''t even spare him a glance.


    Wu Bohai nodded before asking again, "No bodyguards?"


    Chen Lihua closed her eyes before opening them again within seconds. Her patients were depleting very fast.


    "I told them to wait outside because there''s no need for them to be in here since I will be out soon. Is there a problem?" She asked.


    "Not really. But you''ve got to send them in because this place can get a bit messy sometimes. And if you don''t want them to lose their jobs, you have to send them in immediately. Longwei will fire them if he finds out they left you alone here," Wu Bohai advised.


    Chen Lihua thought for a while, ''So that''s the reason he has been asking all these questions? He should have made his stance known earlier, instead of letting me misunderstand him.''


    "Help me get them in," Chen Lihua said.


    "No probs. Do you want me to take you, ladies, to a private room?" Wu Bohai asked.


    "Yes, please, thank you," Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    She can''t wait to get out of the noisy environment. She could feel her head going in sync with the loud music, and was beginning to bang.


    Just as Wu Bohai was about taking them away from there, one of the young girls he was with earlier came after him.


    "Bohai! Who is she?" The girl asked, giving Chen Lihua a dirty look.


    Chen Lihua felt that this situation was funny. What has she done to deserve that look? Nothing at all!


    "None of your business," Wu Bohai said in annoyance as the smile on his lips immediately vanished.


    "Is she one of your new chicks? Do you want to dump me for her?" The girl asked while grabbing Wu Bohai''s arm, in a bid to stop him from leaving.


    Then she stared daggers at Chen Lihua and then Wu Bohai. She didn''t even notice Chen Lihua''s friends that were standing beside her.


    When she saw Chen Lihua''s face, she became green with jealousy because Chen Lihua was more beautiful than her.


    In fact, Chen Lihua had everything you could think of. While standing at close range with her, she felt so inferior compared with her.


    Wu Bohai frowned before hitting her hands off his arm with his free hand.


    "Are you crazy?! You know what, it''s over between us," Wu Bohai said in a serious tone before gesturing to Chen Lihua with his hand, to show her the way.


    Chen Lihua quickly left with him and her friends without sparing the poor girl another glance.


    She couldn''t be bothered with her, and she didn''t feel any pity for her.


    How could she feel pity for someone that just offended her? Never!


    The girl watched them leave as tears gathered around her eyes.


    "Wu Bohai!" She screamed, but the guy in question didn''t even turn his back to take another look at her.


    Then she ran out of the club crying, and then her friends that saw her leave in tears hurriedly chased after her.


    After Wu Bohai settled Chen Lihua and her friends in a room, he apologized to them.


    "Lihua, sorry for what just happened in there."


    "No problem. But I think you should go after your girlfriend, she must have been hurt by your words," Chen Lihua said.


    "Don''t bother about her, she is not my girlfriend. I will send in someone to take your orders, while I get your bodyguards in," Wu Bohai said before leaving.


    Just as he came out from their room, he wiped his dry face with his palm, before assigning waiters to take Chen Lihua and her friend''s orders.


    He also assigned some of his people that would guard their door. He wouldn''t want anything wrong to happen to Chen Lihua and her friends, while they were in his territory.


    If anything should happen to them, more especially Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei would set his hair on fire. He wouldn''t want to lose his hair, so he would rather do the right thing now than to suffer the aftermath of his wrongs.


    "I said it, he is a flirt. How could he just abandon that girl after playing with her?" One of the girls asked.


    "Don''t conclude yet. That girl herself is no good. You need to see the way she was staring at Lily as if she owed her money," Jessica said.


    "Yes, that''s right. Although we did not hear or understand what she was saying, her countenance was far from good," Jessica said.


    Chen Lihua sighed, "You girls should just talk about something else. But just know that that girl was not his girlfriend. Don''t get me wrong, I am not favouring anyone."

 Chapter 223 - Liu Longwei helps Chen Lihua to take off her dress.

    Chen Lihua''s friends didn''t continue with the topic anymore.


    They don''t speak nor understand Chinese, and so, they couldn''t tell what the girl said to Wu Bohai, or what Wu Bohai said to Chen Lihua.


    So they had to rely on Chen Lihua to interpret the messages.


    They all ordered something to drink when the waiters came in to take their orders.


    As Chen Lihua wasn''t good with drinks, Angel helped her order.


    While they drank, they discussed the Bridal shower and the schedule for tomorrow.


    Wu Bohai came to check up on them one last time before they left.


    He even had to watch them escort the tipsy Chen Lihua out of the club.


    "How much did she drink?" He whispered to Angel with his eyes still on Chen Lihua.


    "Two bottles. A bottle containing 5%, and another half a bottle containing 13% alcohol. Actually, what she did was just to finish the second bottle, which I remained, and it was enough to get her tipsy," Angel answered before walking forward.


    Wu Bohai was surprised that Chen Lihua was not a good drinker. A little drink was all it takes to get her tipsy. Wow!


    Chen Lihua wasn''t drunk, nor was she unconscious of her surroundings. In fact, she was very much sober.


    The only problem was that she was feeling dizzy. She couldn''t even stand upright without the support of her friends, who were holding each of her arms.


    And to crown it all, she couldn''t see very well. Everything she glanced at was spinning.


    "You know what, I will take her home. You all can go back to the hotel. Let me take it from here," Wu Bohai said haven thought for a while.


    He felt that Liu Longwei would hold him responsible if he didn''t send his wife home.


    "Are you sure?" Angel asked.


    "Yes," Wu Bohai confirmed.


    "Take care, sweetheart," Chen Lihua''s friends said to her.


    "Mmmm, bye," Chen Lihua managed to say even though she wasn''t seeing them clearly.


    And so, Chen Lihua was helped into Wu Bohai''s red sports car, while her friends left in the Mercedes van, with the people Wu Bohai told to send them to the hotel safely.


    "Sister-in-law, are you comfortable?" Wu Bohai asked after he got into the car.


    "I am very comfortable. My name is Lihua. Don''t treat me like a drunk, I am not drunk," Chen Lihua admonished him as she secured her seatbelt.


    Wu Bohai smiled before putting a call through to Liu Longwei, to inform him that he was bringing his light-headed wife back home for him.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him but didn''t say anything as she closed her eyes peacefully.


    When Wu Bohai brought her home, Liu Longwei was already standing outside, waiting for them.


    Liu Longwei took long strides to the red Lamborghini. There, he saw his beautiful wife with her eyes closed.


    Wu Bohai pressed a button, and the car door opened. So, Liu Longwei immediately carried Chen Lihua out from the car in a bridal style, while calling out to her, "Lihua...Lihua."


    Chen Lihua felt her body being lifted and opened her eyes when she heard her name.


    Immediately, she saw her husband''s face and confirmed that she was in his arms.


    So she just hummed in reply before wrapping her arms around his neck and closed her eyes.


    Won''t you at least say a word of thanks for bringing your wife back to you? Or even invite me to your new home for a drink?" Wu Bohai asked Liu Longwei, who was trying to walk back into the house with his wife in his arms.


    Liu Longwei first stared at his ridiculous hair, and then at Chen Lihua''s bodyguards who drove in at the same time as Wu Bohai.


    "I don''t have to thank you because that''s your job. Didn''t you have enough drinks where you are coming from? I advise you to leave my sight as soon as possible if you don''t want to leave your pink hair behind."


    After he finished saying his piece, Liu Longwei walked away with his sleeping wife in his arms.


    Wu Bohai touched his hair with a frightened look, before entering his car and zooming off.


    In his bedroom, Liu Longwei laid Chen Lihua to lie down on his bed.


    Next, he removed her shoes and jewelry before keeping her belongings on the lampstand.


    Liu Longwei turned Chen Lihua over and helped her Zip down her dress.


    "What are you doing?" Chen Lihua opened her eyes and asked in a muffled voice.


    Liu Longwei didn''t stop in his actions, but he answered her, "Helping you to remove your dress."


    He pulled her gown down to her waist after removing her hands from it. Then her black bra was displayed, cupping half of her b.r.e.a.s.ts.


    Liu Longwei just glanced at them before moving his gaze away. Then, he helped her take off the dress completely off her body, before using the duvet to cover her body.


    "Would you like me to draw a bath for you?" He asked.


    "No, am fine this way," Chen Lihua said, clutching the duvet as she adjusted her body to lie on her side.


    Just before Liu Longwei joined her on the bed, he helped her take off her bra.


    "Don''t look at me!" Chen Lihua warned.


    "Don''t worry, I can''t even see a thing," Liu Longwei said.


    It''s true because He switched off the lights before helping her with her bra, so he couldn''t see her body very well.


    While he was talking, his fingers mistakenly caressed one of her n.i.p.p.l.es, and Chen Lihua immediately hit hand hard with her palm.


    "Sorry," Liu Longwei apologized and covered her with the duvet.


    When Chen Lihua woke up the next morning, she sat up on the bed, and so the duvet slipped right off her body.


    And Liu Longwei, who had just stepped into the room from the bathroom, was met with this scene.


    Chen Lihua who was still oblivious to her surroundings, yawned while stretching her hands.


    And Liu Longwei just stood there and watched her movements, wide-ey

 Chapter 224 - Three days Bridal shower begins.

    And Liu Longwei, who had just stepped into the room from the bathroom, was met with this scene.


    Chen Lihua who was still oblivious to her surroundings, yawned while stretching her hands.


    And Liu Longwei just stood there and watched her movements, wide-eyed.


    Chen Lihua noticed some movements and so, directed her gaze towards Liu Longwei, who was still looking at her in shock.


    "Good morning," Chen Lihua greeted him tiredly while dropping her hands on the duvet.


    ''What a beautiful sight to behold this morning,'' Liu Longwei muttered to himself.


    Then a smirk appeared on his face as he walked towards his bed.


    Chen Lihua saw the smirk on his face, and the way he was staring at her body, more precisely her chest area, and so felt that something was not right.


    So she decided to look down at her chest to know what he had been staring at.


    Lo and behold, she was bare-chested. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were out for him to gaze at all he wanted.


    It was now that Chen Lihua came back to her senses, and seemed to know why he had been staring at her that way.


    She traced his sight to her chest, and immediately let out an ear-piercing shriek as she grabbed the duvet and covered her chest with it.


    Liu Longwei smiled and made a jump to the bed, but Chen Lihua immediately moved away with lightning speed when she saw him make a move.


    "Shameless! I can''t believe you have been staring at my bosoms all this while, you should have looked away!" Chen Lihua said glaring at him in anger.


    "Why should I look away when I saw an opportunity laid right in front of me?" Liu Longwei said with a smile as he stared at his wife''s angry face.


    "You.....you.....," Chen Lihua was speechless and managed to say while pointing at Liu Longwei.


    But when she saw that he was still smiling proudly, she rolled her eyes at him and made her way to the door.


    "Where are you going dressed like that?"


    Liu Longwei asked while sitting up on the bed.


    "Somewhere safe. Far away from you!" Chen Lihua answered before leaving the room.


    Liu Longwei was about reminding her to be careful about the servants so she wouldn''t be embarrassed if she came across any of them. But she had already left before he could remind her.


    But luckily for Chen Lihua, she was able to get to her room smoothly as she didn''t meet anyone on her way out.


    Liu Longwei cracked up when Chen Lihua left his room. He felt so happy by just seeing her angry look.


    Then he started reminiscing of her bosoms that he saw earlier. It was the first time he was seeing her two mounds so clearly.


    Other times he had seen them, it had been at night with little or no lights at all.


    But now, he was able to get a better view of them, and could now tell how they looked.


    Chen Lihua changed into one of her casual wears, a tank top, and shorts, before sitting on the rugged floor of her room in a Yoga position.


    She practiced yoga for twenty minutes before going to wash up.


    Next, she had her breakfast with Liu Longwei before leaving the house to meet up with her friends for the fragrance party scheduled that morning.


    This time around, her friends from her home country (China) were coming as well. And this is because they scheduled a three days bridal shower for her, and it was starting that morning.


    They were scheduled to learn how to make scents, perfumes, etc. this morning, and so they were all going to the venue where the instructor would be teaching them, and from there, they would have a little fragrance party.


    Just before she left the house, Liu Longwei handed her a black card to buy something for herself and her friends, she said they were going shopping after the fragrance party.


    Chen Lihua happily took the black card from him and left after kissing his left cheek.


    Liu Longwei smiled while touching his cheek that she just kissed, as he watched her enter the car, more precisely, her Audi.


    Chen Lihua and her friends met at the fragrance house, and she introduced all her friends to each other.


    So while the Fragrance section was going on, both sides of friends bonded very well.


    Since this was an all-girls thing, only her female friends were present.


    After their little fragrance party, Chen Lihua and her friends went to Chen Mall to shop, and they had a lot of fun there.


    Especially when they went to the Lingerie section and picked a few sets for Chen Lihua.


    At first, Chen Lihua didn''t want to enter the Lingerie section, but she was half dragged and half pushed by them.


    She said she didn''t want to buy anything from there, but her friends didn''t want to hear her speak. So they picked a few sets for her before asking her to try them on. But Chen Lihua refused them again.


    "You don''t have to be shy, we are all Ladies here."


    "That''s right, we just want to make sure that we got your right size."


    Two of her friends said to her, but Chen Lihua was not interested. Their constant pestering and whining in her ears made her finally accepted the five sets of Lingerie from them. Still, she refused to try them on, while telling them that they were in the right size.


    Next, they went to the night wears section to pick a few items.


    And there as well, they picked three s.e.xy night wears for Chen Lihua.


    "You won''t be able to get out of bed if you wear this one to seduce your husband," Angel said, sending a wink to her.


    "You are correct. Her husband will be totally mesmerized and captivated by her body and beauty," One of her home (China) friend Said in total agreement with Angel.


    "You girls can''t be serious," Chen Lihua said throwing glances at them and at the night wears they picked for her.


    "But we are damn serious!" One of them said with a big smile before placing the nightdresses they picked in Chen Lihua''s embrace

 Chapter 225 - Chen Lihua gifts Liu Longwei some perfumes she prepared.

    Chen Lihua stared at the ridiculous nightdresses they handed to her with a frown on her face. And then she looked up at them to see that they were all smiling at her.


    "Come on, smile. How can the bride-to-be have such an ugly look on her face?" One of them said while blowing kisses at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t be bothered to reply, as she started thinking of a way to get rid of them or stop them from buying more ridiculous items for her.


    For whom was she going to wear those crazy dresses?


    Was it that beast of a husband is sheep clothing, the same man that can''t even wait to lay his hands on her body?


    When Chen Lihua remembered how Liu Longwei would have pounced on her body that morning if not for her fast reflex actions, she shivered.


    Chen Lihua finally recalled something as she smiled. She then turned to look at their faces and said.


    "You girls can each pick any item or items worth $5000, I will pay for them."


    "What?!"


    "Are you for real?!"


    "Lihua, are you serious?!"


    These were some of the questions they threw at her.


    They were shocked and happy at the same time.


    "Why didn''t you say that a long time ago?" Angel asked.


    This was how Chen Lihua was saved from their troubles. They quickly pulled her away from that section, and into another part.


    They picked items from the most expensive brands like Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Chanel, etc.


    And when Chen Lihua was about to pay for all their items, she brought out a black card from her Gucci purse.


    "Oh, my God! Tell me, I''m not seeing wrongly?" Jessica said with an exasperated look.


    "You can clearly see very well," Another said to her.


    "This is the legendary black card. You are not dreaming at all, because this shit is real," Jessica said, with her focus still on the card.


    Chen Lihua smiled proudly as she watched the black card with no limit, being swiped to pay for their goods.


    "I can''t take this. I think I still need to shop more," One of them said as she tried to go back to shop more. But the rest stopped her by dragging her back.


    When Chen Lihua came back home from the mall in the evening, she didn''t meet Liu Longwei.


    So she immediately arranged the things she bought from the mall by hiding them away in her walk-in closet. She didn''t even bother to bring them out from the shop bags, she just let them be that way.


    She pulled out the perfumes and other scents she learned how to make today from another bag.


    Then she picked two small bottles before personally sending them to Liu Longwei''s bedroom.


    There was a particular bottle she hid away far inside her closet.


    In fact, she opened one shelf and put the bottle in there. The content of the bottle was only known to a few; Chen Lihua, the instructor that taught them how to make it, and her annoying friends that sneaked it into her bag.


    She made sure to keep the bottle far away from sight, and somewhere she wouldn''t be able to remember in a long time.


    ''This item cannot be seen or used,'' she said to herself while locking the perfumed bottle away.


    And as for the rest of the perfumes and scents, she kept them away safely, and where it would be of easy reach.


    When she was through with offloading what she came home with, she took a shower before going to sleep.


    When she woke up, Liu Longwei was back already.


    He was carrying some papers in his hands as he came out of the study.


    "You are awake. I saw the perfumes you gave to me. Thank you, I liked the scents," Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    Chen Lihua smiled as well before saying proudly, "That''s good because I made them myself."


    They took the elevator and went to the ground floor, where they saw Assistant Duyi enjoying a cup of tea.


    Once he saw them, he immediately placed the teacup on the saucer before standing up to greet them.


    Chen Lihua had not seen Assistant Duyi in a long time now, and so smiled at him, while returning his greetings politely when he greeted her.


    Liu Longwei passed the papers in his hands to him, "Am done signing them. You can leave when you are done with your tea. You don''t have to come to the house anymore as there won''t be any work-related matters till after my wedding. But you can come if I send for you."


    Assistant Duyi took the papers from him before nodding respectfully. He only left the house after he finished his tea.


    That evening, Lady Chen was sitting at the balcony while enjoying her fruits when she received a call from her husband, Chen K.


    Lady Chen answered the call and listened for a while before exclaiming with an unimpressed look, "Chen K, you can''t be serious. Tell me you are joking with me right now?"


    "Ju Ju, I am very serious," Chen K replied anxiously.


    "Chen K, you have to stop this joke, you know that what you are asking for is not possible," Lady Chen responded, while slightly raising her voice.


    "Ju Ju, you know it''s possible. I will disguise myself very well, so she won''t ever find out," Chen K replied in desperation.


    Lady Chen didn''t even think for five seconds before refusing his plans, "I am not doing this with you. Nobody is in support of this."


    "Ju Ju, I know what you are afraid of, but it won''t happen. I promise you that she won''t recognize me," Chen K pleaded.


    Lady Chen let out a breath before asking, "What made you change your mind?"


    Chen K sighed bitterly before speaking, "I just know that I would regret this moment if I am not present to see......."


    Lady Chen patiently listened to him and took pity on him.


    Since she was soft-hearted towards his predicament, she decided to accept his pleadings.


    "But you have to send me a picture of your disguised look very early that morning, for me to approve."


    "Yes I will, Ju Ju thank you so much for giving me this chance, I promise that everything will be alright," Chen K said with a happy smile at last.

 Chapter 226 - Two days to the Wedding.

    More guests arrived today.


    This morning, Liu Longwei left the house with his essential items.


    Do you want to know the reason?


    His mother asked him to live in a separate house from his bride till the wedding was over. So he agreed.


    He analyzed the plan and found out that it had advantages and disadvantages.


    The advantage here is that he won''t be tempted to sleep with his wife if he doesn''t see her.


    And the disadvantage there is that he would miss seeing his beautiful wife''s face, and her fragrant scent.


    (Longwei, have you forgotten that absence makes the heart grow fonder?).


    Chen Lihua didn''t really mind him because she was already very occupied by her bridal shower parties that she has been hosting.


    She wasn''t bothered about anything. So the problem of her husband seeing her n.a.k.e.d or trying to sleep with her won''t be troubling her anymore.


    In fact, she was free.


    Just before Liu Longwei left the house for his previous mansion, he warned everyone seriously to look after his wife. Especially the bodyguards.


    They were to follow her wherever she went, except for the inconvenient places, like the restrooms, etc.


    If anything should happen to his wife, their whole generation will pay the price, even though it won''t be enough.


    "I will miss you. Will, you miss me?" Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua


    Chen Lihua shook her head negatively, "No, I won''t. Just go, am tired of seeing your handsome face."


    Liu Longwei didn''t know if he should be happy because of the handsome face compliment, or angry because she said she was tired of seeing him; which meant in other words, that she wouldn''t miss him.


    Liu Longwei sighed before taking one step into his car.


    While Chen Lihua thought he was angry and about to enter the car. Liu Longwei turned sharply and held her face with his strong palms before forcibly kissing her lips.


    At first, Chen Lihua struggled. But when she thought that he won''t have the opportunity to do as he pleased till their wedding day, she let him be.


    Thinking about the wedding, Chen Lihua''s heartbeats became irregular, as she suddenly felt nervous.


    This was her big day we are talking about, she has the right to be nervous.


    While kissing her, Liu Longwei felt her struggles but didn''t give way. In fact, he was enjoying himself right now.


    But when he felt the woman in his arms had lost focus, he released her lips.


    "What are you thinking about? How could you lose focus during our kiss," He asked her with creased brows.


    Chen Lihua came out of her thoughts and stared at him. "Nothing much. I was just thinking about our wedding, and how that day would be. Hurry up and go! I''ve got some important things to do, and time it''s not by our side."


    Liu Longwei sighed as he ruffled her hair, "Take good care of yourself. I will keep in touch with you. Don''t disturb yourself about the car, because I''ll be sending you your ride in the morning of our big day."


    Chen Lihua took his hand off her head while asking with furrowed brows in confusion, "Which side is that? There are so many cars here, what are you talking about?"


    "You don''t need to know what I am talking about, but you will see the ride tomorrow evening or on the D-Day, depending on my plans. Take care of yourself, I love you."


    And with that, Liu Longwei left blowing some kisses before eventually entering inside his Rolls Royce Phantom.


    Chen Lihua watched the car leave and sighed to herself.


    What is he planning now?


    Chen Lihua knows that her husband was an extravagant spender. He doesn''t think twice before spending money.


    Well, he''s got the money, and he''s got to spend it on something nice.


    Chen Lihua went back into the house and thought that since Liu Longwei had left, that she would be able to her wedding dress. But Delmas didn''t give her that opportunity.


    It seemed like he was keeping watch over the door instead of supervising his work.


    "Delmas, how is my dress now? How is the work coming along?" Chen Lihua asked the man standing in front of the door and staring at her with a professional smile.


    "Ma''am your dress is almost done, and you would be allowed to take a good glance at it tomorrow''s afternoon. But before then, you would have to do something for us."


    "And what is that?" Chen Lihua asked as she was very ready to do anything he asked of her.


    "Please do us the favor of staying away from this door, because the more you do, the more you delay us, and the longer you get to set your eyes on your dress," Delmas answered with a half-smile.


    "Like seriously? Am I hindering you from working?" Chen Lihua asked unbelievably.


    "Mmmhmm," Delmas smile and hummed, while nodding his head in confirmation.


    Chen Lihua stared at him, speechlessly before walking away after a few seconds.


    Well, now she was swamped with work so she didn''t have the time to argue with him or cause trouble.


    ''I will see my dress tomorrow, and tomorrow is not far, so I can wait,'' Chen Lihua said to herself.


    She had a c.o.c.ktail class this morning. And in the afternoon, she had to entertain some important guests with Liu Longwei. And lastly, for the day, she had a pool party section with her female friends.


    Chen Lihua chose the venue to be in her and Liu Longwei''s current Villa.


    She doesn''t need stress at all.


    While Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were entertaining their guests, the Liu and Chen Families were busy with the same matter as well.


    At the Liu Mansion, the Liu families were very busy entertaining the guests from their sides that arrived for the wedding.


    Liu Huiling arrived with her daughters the previous day, but her husband refused to follow her.


    So she gave him 24-hours to be present at the Liu Mansion if he didn''t want his secrets exposed, and so he had to comply.


    He arrived on this day with a not so brilliant expression, though he faked most smiles on some occasions.


    Old Madam Liu noticed the tension between Liu Huiling and her husband, even Madam Liu got an inkling of it. Still, both of them didn''t mention anything as this was a very happy occasion, and so they wouldn''t want to ruin it.


    But both Madam Liu and Old Lady communicated and gave signals to each other with their eyes, concerning Liu Huiling and her husband.

 Chapter 227 - Entertaining guests just before the Wedding.

    "Huiling, why do you keep staring at your husband like that, is everything ok?" Liu Dongmei asked her elder sister as soon as she noticed her facial expression.


    She has been watching Liu Huiling for a while now, so she approached her immediately.


    "Nothing," Liu Huiling replied in a neutral voice.


    Seeing that it was not the right time and place to confront her sister, Liu Dongmei said to her with a smile, "Then stop staring at your husband in that manner, people are watching. After the party, you guys can sort things out."


    ''There is absolutely nothing to sort out,'' Liu Huiling said to herself but nodded at her sister''s suggestion.


    She looked around and saw that some people''s eyes were on her, so she concluded that she really needed to keep her emotions in check, as it was not the right place to do it.


    ''Huiling you can do this,'' she said to herself in encouragement.


    Meanwhile, Liu Huiling''s husband just sat at a place and didn''t bother to mingle with other family members.


    From his actions and facial expressions, it was very easy for anyone to tell that he was not in a good mood.


    Liu Dongmei saw his looks, and so walked to him with a glass of champagne.


    She smiled and said, while handing the glass of wine to him, "Brother-in-law, here, have a drink."


    Liu Huiling''s husband gave her a polite smile before taking the champagne glass from her.


    Then, he swirled the content of the glass a little before downing the whole thing at once.


    Liu Dongmei smiled and asked a servant to get another glass for him.


    "Brother-in-law, you shouldn''t be sitting here like this. If you become bored chatting with people, you can order anything you want," Liu Dongmei said to him politely.


    She has never been close to this brother-in-law of hers, as they didn''t meet often.


    She doesn''t also meet the Liu family often because of her location, and everybody was busy with their respective jobs.


    Liu Huiling''s husband nodded with a distant smile as he watched her walk away.


    Both he and his wife Liu Huiling didn''t bother to spare each other a glance.


    Deep down Liu Huiling''s heart, she felt her heart hurt as she was beyond angry.


    If the resentment she was feeling in her heart had battery life, then its bar remained only one (1).


    She was indeed beyond angry. Her husband was supposed to be with Liu Longwei and his friends, and mingling with them.


    But here he was at the Liu Mansion, keeping a face as if someone owed him millions of dollars.


    Just take a look, Liu Dongmei''s husband, Mu Boqin, was nowhere to be seen around the Liu Mansion.


    Reason: Because he was mingling with Liu Longwei and the rest of their friends.


    But here her own husband was, embarrassing her.


    Liu Huiling made up her mind not to say anything to him again because she might just erupt if she tried to talk to him.


    "Mom! What are you thinking about? We have been calling you for a while now!" Cherry said she asked in a frown while Little Apple pulled her clothes gently.


    Liu Huiling stared at her two beautiful daughters in surprise as she didn''t know when they appeared by her side since she was lost in thought.


    "Cherry, what is it?" Liu Huiling asked her eldest daughter in a soft voice while bringing the two girls to her arms.


    "We want to see our wedding outfits!" Said Cherry cheerfully.


    The little girls were very eager to see their wedding outfits since they had roles to play on that day.


    "No, Cherry, you can''t see the dress now! You will see them tomorrow," Liu Huiling said in refusal.


    She knew that just seeing the dress won''t end there, but will develop to another thing. So she didn''t want to take chances.


    Cherry and her younger sister, little apple had their faces scrunched up in a frown. And little apple looked like she would cry any minute from then.


    "Do not even cry!" Liu Huiling scolded her little daughter, and the little girl became sad as drops of tears rolled down her smooth cheeks.


    Little apple was crying without making noise.


    "What is going on here?" Liu Dongmei asked in surprise as she approached her sister with her daughter, Anna, following behind her.


    Liu Huiling immediately explained to her what happened, and she laughed it off before saying.


    "That''s the same reason that Anna has been following me around. Just now, a servant brought her to me while saying that Anna had been throwing a tantrum because she wanted to see the dress. Let''s allow them to see their dresses, there are little children, and are curious. And so, want to see their dresses. If they want to see their dresses, allow them, there is no harm in that."


    Liu Huiling listened to her sister before telling the little girls, "I will allow you to see your dresses, but only on one condition. That is you will see your dresses at a distance and nothing more."


    The three little girls nodded their heads obediently before following after their different nannies to see their dresses. The three little girls left happily.


    After the three little pretty girls left, their mothers sighed in relief before they continue to entertain the guests.


    The same way their family was busy with entertaining their guests, was the same way the Chen family were entertaining their guests.


    Most members of the Chen family were present today. So Lady Chen and the immediate Chen family had to entertain their guests.


    Aunt Lin''s (Chen Lin) ex was present as well.


    He pleaded with Chen Lin to invite him.


    Since the day he met up with Chen Lin, he has been away from home.


    Another reason for him to be away from home since that day was because he hadn''t known peace since that day.


    After he came home that day, he met his crying wife and his angry mother.


    From their looks and actions, he could tell that his wife had already complained about him to his mother. And that was what caused her displeasure. He didn''t need to be told for him to know, he could see it all on their faces.

 Chapter 228 - Then get ready to die!.

    After he came home that day, he met his crying wife and his angry mother.


    From their looks and actions, he could tell that his wife had already complained about him to his mother. And that was what caused her displeasure. He didn''t need to be told for him to know, he could see it all on their faces.


    His mother kept asking him questions about how true what his wife said to her that he wanted a divorce.


    He didn''t even deny it. He said he was tired of the relationship, and that he has never loved his wife.


    "Mother, you know too well whom I love. This relationship cannot go any further. I have always listened to you throughout my life, and I''ve done things only for your sake. But this time I need to live for myself."


    These were the exact words he said to his mother, No removal, or addition of extra words.


    His mother almost went crazy when she heard it.


    "So you really met that bitch from your past?! You must behave been bewitched by her. She has gotten her claws on you. Son, let me tell you, you can never divorce your wife in this life unless you want me dead! You hear!"


    "Then get ready to die!" The man spat angrily before walking away.


    He went into his bedroom to pick a few of his essential belongings before leaving the house that night.


    He didn''t even bother to set his eyes on his children before leaving because he was too angry to think straight.


    So for the past few days, he has been living in a hotel to avoid his wife and mother.


    Then as for his workplace, he gave an order for them not to permit his mother or wife to come into his office.


    Then excuses like, ''He is very busy'', ''He is in an important meeting'', ''He went to meet a VIP client'', or ''He is not in the office'' were occasionally used when either his mother or wife came looking for him.


    With this careful arrangements, his wife and mother have not been able to contact him. He didn''t even pick their calls.


    The only calls he picked from his family, was the calls from his father and his two children.


    There was a time he picked his daughter''s call and heard his wife''s voice, so he immediately terminated the call.


    So now, here he was at the Chen family''s villa, enjoying himself and mingling with distinguished guests with high caliber.


    And most importantly, he could see the woman he loved so much, and the daughter''s beautiful daughter that had together.


    Chen Lin didn''t invite him to the party because of the feelings she had for him, but just because she didn''t see it as anything. She also wanted to draw his heart away from his wife.


    The more he saw her (Chen Lin) and their daughter, and the more he was away from his family, which made him more determined to divorce his wife.


    Do you think ???? Chen Lin still loves her ex?


    Chen Lin''s ex was given a warm welcome and treated very well as the other guests.


    He talked with people that could help expand his business. He was given quality food and expensive wine to drink.


    There were lots of activities to keep him entertained, in the face, he was very satisfied.


    The more he was happy in the Chen Villa, the more the thought for the divorce with his wife grew, and the more hatred he had for her.


    Just take a good look at him now. See how he was treated like a respectable guest. His needs were well taken care of.


    And to crown it all, the woman he had at heart was from a reputable and wealthy family.


    Her family was five times better than his wife''s family in terms of everything.


    Thinking back to his past, his face was full of regret. He would have insisted on marrying Chen Lin. But no, he foolishly listened to his mother because she threatened him with her life.


    And this has caused him to miss out on a lot of opportunities that would have benefited him.


    Chen Lin''s ex was neither with her because of money nor status. He loved her genuinely.


    He was now only recounting the so many benefits of being with her.


    Had it been he married her that time, he would have had peace, more business opportunities, and rest of mind of marrying his beloved.


    Even the money in his accounts and pockets would have long multiplied.


    And besides, his beloved was a hardworking woman.


    And with the opportunities he will get from being with her, his pockets will never run dry. Instead, his money will continue to increase.


    Being with his current wife has been Hell-like. She wasn''t hardworking at all.


    All she did was sit at home and wait for his money. Even her family members ask him for money and help from time to time, he has never for one day benefitted from their relationship.


    But luckily for him, he still has another chance to redeem himself, for him to be with Chen Lin peacefully.


    Coming out of those negative thoughts, he immediately felt better when his eyes fell on Chen Lin, who was walking towards him with a younger lady beside her.


    A smile immediately crept up his face as he recognized the younger lady at first glance.


    She was his daughter.


    Chen Lin brought her daughter, so she could interact with her father.


    Chen Lin''s daughter didn''t grow up with her father, and so is not too familiar with him apart from seeing him on one or two occasions.


    While speaking with her father, she remained polite and distant.


    She was already an a.d.u.l.t, and so she didn''t necessarily need a father figure in her life.


    To cut the story short, he wasn''t that important to her.


    As for Chen K, he was absent. He didn''t dare to appear because he reached an agreement with his father.


    And besides, if he appeared here, the news would cause a big sensation to the world. And then when his daughter finds out, it would have been better he remained dead to her!

 Chapter 229 - Pool Party.

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei entertained their guests in a hotel, and they were all big shots from different parts of the world.


    Well, it was just Liu Longwei introducing his friends and business partners to Chen Lihua, while Chen Lihua did the same.


    The party was very simple. They all ate and drank while discussing matters different from the economy.


    Any normal citizen that would attend such a party would thank his stars because men and women of different calibers were there.


    So just a step into the hotel venue is like taking a step into your dream destination.


    Chen Lihua chatted with her manager (work/model manager) and her bosses, and even her fellow model friends that were present.


    Towards the end of the party, Chen Lihua left, since she was needed back home. She had a pool party to organize.


    When she got back home, everything was almost in place. From the goods to the decorations.


    Then the important decisions were left for her to make.


    Chen Lihua tried the deserts and some of the c.o.c.ktails, and she nodded her head in satisfaction.


    If not for self-control, she would have been carried away and finished the whole thing.


    While checking the decorations and other important things, she received calls from her friends, and she answered them patiently.


    The pool party was going to be a big one since most of her close female friends had arrived, so the party has to be near perfect.


    Going through the list to check everything one more time, Chen Lihua spoke to the planner before going into the house to freshen up.


    Since it was a pool party, there was no need to wear any makeup. So she rolled up her long hair in a simple doughnut, before wearing her simple black Gucci swimsuit.


    Next, she put a transparent black robe over her shoulders.


    The only jewelry that adorned her body was her engagement ring.


    Chen Lihua put a touch of one of the perfumes she made on her body before wearing a fancy flip flops out of the house.


    She went to the back of the house where the party was holding.


    She could hear the music all the way from the hallway.


    Normally, people are tended to come late for an occasion, but not Chen Lihua and her friends, they always arrived early.


    While Chen Lihua was dressing, the Mercedes vans brought her friends. So when she was all dressed up and went to the back house, she met them there, laughing and dancing to the tune of the music.


    Chen Lihua smiled and walked towards them.


    One of them sighted Chen Lihua from afar. So she smiled and announced in a loud voice while featuring with her hands towards Chen Lihua''s direction.


    "And here comes our bride to be!".


    At this announcement, all the ladies present turned towards Chen Lihua''s direction with happy smiles on their faces.


    "Hello s.e.xy girl, do you mind having dinner with me?". One of them said exaggeratingly.


    "I do mind, a whole lot". Chen Lihua said with a smirk as she arrived at their side.


    Jennifer brought her sun shades to the brink of her nose as she touched around Chen Lihua''s body.


    "I feel like snatching you away from your husband right away. Look at this s.e.xy body!".


    Chen Lihua hit the wandering hands off her body, "Hey girl! Be mindful of where you are touching!".


    "Lily your husband is lucky! Imagine touching and sleeping with this body lying right next to him at night". Jennifer said.


    "Well, that is his luck. Anyway, don''t touch me like that again, that''s his property now". Chen Lihua announced with a smug look on her face.


    "Lihua are you feeding us dog food now?". One of her home friends asked with a smile.


    (NOTE: I Am using home friends for Chinese friends. Later I will name them. But for now, let''s manage it like that so that the too much names won''t confuse us).


    "You don''t even need to ask her because that''s exactly what she is doing". Another home friend said while sipping her c.o.c.ktail.


    "Lily tell us, how does it feel when a handsome man touches you?. Do you feel your breaths seizing?". Kendall, one of her model friends asked with a teasing smile.


    Chen Lihua ignored her and walked past them to take a sip.


    The little party held at the hotel that afternoon, helped Chen Lihua''s friends to bond a lot.


    "Lily you have to answer that, otherwise.....". Gigi another model friend said while trailing off with a mischievous smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua felt danger approaching, so she stood up from her beach chair and tried to walk away.


    But she was too late because she was surrounded.


    Not just by ordinary people, but by beautiful looking girls in different styles of bikini.


    "No.....no...no!. Don''t come any closer!". Chen Lihua said in panic while looking for a way to get away from them.


    Just when she touched they wanted to tickle her, she was surprised by unexpectedly being pushed into the swimming pool close to them.


    "Ah!". Chen Lihua left out a horrifying scream as she landed inside the pool filled with ocean blue water.


    Well, the pool wasn''t actually filled with ocean water, it''s just how it looked like.


    Chen Lihua''s friends laughed out loud while watching her wipe her wet face with her palms, as the diamond ring in her finger glistened.


    "You mean girls, wait till I come out from here". Chen Lihua said to them with a raised voice, while staring daggers at them.


    One of them brought her tongue as she made faces at Chen Lihua.


    She seemed to be having a lot of fun, but she was suddenly pushed into the pool by the others.


    "You girls are crazy!". She screamed at them while wiping her face.


    The girls laughed at her. Even Chen Lihua who was frowning earlier joined them to laugh.


    The lady that was pushed into the pool swam to where Chen Lihua was and started splashing the water at her.


    So Chen Lihua giggled while swimming away. And from time to time, she would stop to splash some pool water back to her.


    While the two were having fun, they had a splash sound, followed by another splash, so their attention was diverted.


    When they turned to look, they saw the girls pushing themselves into the pool, and it looked like they were having fun.


    Angel who was the only one left standing, was laughing and pointing at them when two ladies who were closest to her, held her legs with their hands before pulling her into the pool.

 Chapter 230 - Chen Lihua is curious about how s*x feels like.

    Angel, who was the only one left standing, was laughing and pointing at them when two ladies who were closest to her, held her legs with their hands before pulling her into the pool.


    Next begun a water fight.


    Chen Lihua and her friends began splashing water on each other while laughing out loud.


    Imagine watching beautiful ladies in s.e.xy bikinis playing in the pool with the water trickling off their bodies.


    Anyone who saw this beautiful scene would surely be enchanted.


    While they were having fun, the female DJ played pop music, both foreign and home pop songs.


    Are you wondering why there was a female DJ? Well, let me explain.


    Chen Lihua actually minded a lot. She, being a shy and easily embarrassed person, would never allow random men to stare at her body. There was no way in the world, she could let that happen, especially when she wore so little.


    But things were different when she was modeling, she didn''t have any problem with that because that was her work.


    And another reason was that she had a funny justification in mind.


    She didn''t want any man staring at her while she was wearing so little when her husband hadn''t seen her that way.


    On this note, you could say that Chen Lihua was thinking about Liu Longwei''s behalf.


    Now, the ladies were out from the pool and dancing to the songs.


    Chen Lihua had already removed her net long jacket and was dancing with her friends.


    So when she got a little exhausted from dancing, she sat down on a chair while sipping her c.o.c.ktail and watching her friends with a beautiful smile on her face.


    She even took a video and some pictures of them as they were having fun. Some of her friends have been recording various videos of themselves.


    Just then, Caro, Jennifer, and Angel grabbed a drink and some pastries before they came to join Chen Lihua, who was relaxing by the poolside lounge.


    Caro had three glasses of c.o.c.ktails and two full plates of deserts for herself.


    Chen Lihua, Jennifer, and Angel stared wildly at her in surprise as they gave each other a look.


    Angel asked Caro while pointing at her and the food before her, "Can you finish them all at once?"


    "Mmhmm," Caro hummed, seeing no problem with the quantity of food and drinks she was about to devour.


    Caro not only saw no problem with her food, but she also wasn''t paying attention to her girlfriend''s facial expression as she finished one glass of c.o.c.ktail in a go.


    Jennifer stared at her in shock. But then, her eyes began to roam around her body.


    Caro was the one with most flesh amongst Chen Lihua''s friends present.


    Jennifer is slim like the rest of her friends, so she kept staring at her body in shock, "With you eating like this, you will surely add in size. Don''t you want to lose weight?"


    Caro put a spoon of the desert in her mouth and chewed on it before replying without care.


    "I do want to lose weight, but ever since my first pregnancy, my appetite expanded. And I still have a 1 year plus old baby that am still b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding, so I am eating for two."


    "What!? You are still b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding your baby?" Chen Lihua asked in shock.


    She really couldn''t believe what she just heard.


    "Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is advisable. Plus it''s also healthy for the baby," Caro answered before putting another spoon of the desert in her mouth.


    Chen Lihua exchanged glances with Angel and Jennifer before staring right back at Caro.


    Angel lifted her shoulders with their hands spread out, while Jennifer nodded her head before drinking her c.o.c.ktail.


    "Won''t your b.r.e.a.s.ts fall if you b.r.e.a.s.tfeed him for that long?" Angel asked, while still in shock.


    "I have a solution for that, so it doesn''t bother me. The little boy just doesn''t want to leave my b.r.e.a.s.ts alone. And now, he has monopolized them. He still doesn''t let his dad touch me when he is with me."


    "Wow! What a naughty little guy you''ve got there," Angel said.


    "So what is your husband saying about the situation?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Well, he has no choice but to stay away from me for the time being, after all, that''s his son," Caro said.


    "Well, it''s not bad," Chen Lihua said without thinking.


    "What did you say?" Caro asked Chen Lihua unbelievably.


    "Let me tell you now, just get ready. You can''t deny a man, more especially your husband s.e.x when he asks for it. Unless you are sick, or pregnant because of complications, or on your period, or just not in the mood. But don''t use the last excuse often, unless you want him to look for someone else who is ready to satisfy him, and that is how cheating starts," Caro advised.


    Chen Lihua stared at Caro unbelievably, "Are you trying to say that I should give in to my husband when he wants to have s.e.x, if not, he will cheat on me?"


    "You can decode it that way if that is how you understand it. But just know that your husband is everything any woman wants in a man, so, many of them are scrutinizing him," Caro advised.


    "I get your point. But I don''t think I will like to have s.e.x that often," Chen Lihua said before gulping down the remaining content from her glass.


    "How sure are you?" Angel asked with a smile.


    "Lily, time will tell. Most of the time, I am even the one asking Justin for s.e.x," Jennifer said while laughing hard, and the others joined her in the act.


    "We know you, you are a s.e.x addict," Angel said as she gently hit Jennifer on her shoulder.


    "You girls have been talking about s.e.x, how does it even feel like?" Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    Angel, Jennifer, and Caro immediately stopped laughing as they all stared at Chen Lihua in shock. And then, they exchanged glances before staring right back at her.


    "Are you still a v.i.r.g.i.n?" Caro asked with her mouth agape.


    "You haven''t had s.e.x with your husband yet?" Angel asked in disbelief.


    "Lily, are you joking with us or what?" Jennifer asked in shock as well.


    "Why are you girls staring at me like that? Did I murder someone?" Chen Lihua asked, not seeing any reason as to why they should be staring at her like that.


    Her friends were staring at her that way because they thought that with all the beauty and figure Chen Lihua had, her husband would have devoured her by now which would''ve made Chen Lihua unable to leave the bed. But to their surprise, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had never had s.e.x before.


    Caro did not want to dwell much on the topic because it was her privacy, so she asked, "Have you two made out?"


    Chen Lihua blushed before nodding.


    "That''s good then," Caro said.


    Angel wanted to ask a question, but Jennifer said, "No more questions, we will tackle that on the bridal shower tomorrow."


    One of Chen Lihua''s home friends came around with two glass of c.o.c.ktail in her hands, while breathing hard.


    "What are you girls doing here?"


    "We are just taking a breather," Chen Lihua responded.


    Then the lady nodded as she handed Chen Lihua a glass before taking a seat.


    Just then, one of Chen Lihua''s foreign friends came over with shock written all over her face, as she stared at her phone.

 Chapter 231 - Chen Lihuas ex arrives for her Wedding.

    "What are you girls doing here?"


    "We are just taking a breather," Chen Lihua responded.


    Then the lady nodded as she handed Chen Lihua a glass before taking a seat.


    Just then, one of Chen Lihua''s foreign friends came over with shock written all over her face, as she stared at her phone.


    "Lily...Lily!" She literally shouted as she half walked and half ran over.


    "What are you screaming for?" Jennifer asked.


    "What happened?" Chen Lihua asked without a look of worry. But the answer she would receive will bring shock and worry to her.


    "George is here," She answered, but then broke out in a smile at Chen Lihua''s twisted facial expression.


    When Chen Lihua first heard that sentence, she spewed the c.o.c.ktail she just drank out and started coughing because she choked a little on the drink.


    Caro rubbed her back while asking, "Your ex is here?"


    "There is nothing wrong with that, George is a good guy," Angel answered with a smile.


    Chen Lihua accepted the napkin from Angel and wiped her mouth with it.


    "I sent that invitation by mistake, and also forgot to tell my husband about it," Chen Lihua said with a red face.


    Just thinking back to when she accidentally sent him her wedding invitation through Email, she felt like knocking her head.


    "I really don''t see anything wrong with your ex being present at your wedding. Unless there is something still going on between you two?" Jennifer said, not understanding the big deal with Chen Lihua''s behavior.


    "No! There is nothing between us anymore. You won''t understand if I tell you, and I don''t want to mention what happened between us because it''s in the past," Chen Lihua said when she finally finished coughing.


    "Something happened between you two, and I don''t know about it?" Angel asked with a smile and widened eyeballs.


    "Yes, because it''s between George and I. How did you get the news?" Chen Lihua said the second sentence while looking at her friend who had brought the shocking news to her.


    "Olivia told me about it, because she took the same plane with him, and they just arrived at the hotel," She answered before sitting down.


    "What do I do now? I didn''t tell my husband about sending him an invitation," Chen Lihua asked nervously.


    "Come on, relax. Your husband will understand that it was a mistake. And besides, George is your ex.....your ex. So there is nothing to worry about," Caro assured while emphasizing on the ''ex'' word.


    "What''s going on here?"


    Who knew when the rest of the girls abandoned the music they were dancing to and arrived before them.


    Jennifer couldn''t keep her mouth shut, and so shouted excitedly to them, "Lily''s ex just arrived for the wedding, and her husband is not aware!"


    "Whoa!" "Seriously?" The girls exclaimed.


    Chen Lihua was the only one with a gloomy look.


    ''Where did I meet this kind of crazy friends? None of them seem to read the situation.''


    But then, Chen Lihua began to think. Since she has nothing to do with George anymore, Liu Longwei wouldn''t take the matter to heart.


    But on second thought, she felt that he would be jealous.


    Well, she will just notify him about it later.


    Some of Chen Lihua''s friends talked about their ex, and the rest laughed about it.


    Chen Lihua and her friends had a lot of fun. Towards the evening, Jennifer announced, "Girls it''s almost time for the guys to arrive, let''s assemble!"


    "Which guys, how come I don''t know about it?" Chen Lihua asked in confusion while staring at Jennifer.


    "Well, I invited your husband and his friends over for a fun game," Jennifer announced excitedly.


    "Wow! That''s going to be so much fun," Caro said excitedly.


    Chen Lihua wanted to say something, but Jennifer interrupted.


    "There is no time to argue with me. Giving how shy you are, I bet you wouldn''t want to be seen dressed that way."


    Chen Lihua looked down at her attire, and she had two words in mind, ''not appropriate.''


    So she stood up from where she was sitting and glanced at her friends. "I suppose you all won''t be dressed like that as well?" Gesturing at her friend''s swimwear.


    "Is there something wrong with the way we are dressed?" Angel asked.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at her before saying, "Not in my house", and then she walked away.


    She met two servants that told her Liu Longwei was back, so she assigned them to look after her friends, before walking off hurriedly.


    As the elevator arrived at the top floor, Chen Lihua came out from it and met Liu Longwei face to face.


    Liu Longwei already knew that Chen was hosting a pool party with her friends. But he was still surprised to see her dressed in a bikini. So he stared at her for a while.


    Chen Lihua held her transparent jacket and covered herself with it.


    "You...You are back?" She asked with an embarrassed look.


    She was looking everywhere but his face.


    "Mmmm. You look beautiful," Liu Longwei praised.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua replied before going into her room.


    Chen Lihua''s friends were escorted to a room by the servants, and so they changed their dresses there.


    In twenty minutes'' time, everyone was gathered close to the pool area, including Liu Longwei''s friends.


    Everyone introduced themselves, and they all laughed while talking about funny things.


    "We have a few questions for all of us; both the friends of the bride and groom," Jennifer said while holding up a sheet of paper.


    Everyone present stared at her as she became the center of attention.


    "But first of all, I want us to pick a piece of paper each and open them," Jennifer continued as Angel passed them a tray that contained little folded pieces of paper.


    "When you open them, call out the numbers written there, and I will read out the question for them. Then you''ll go ahead to answer them," Jennifer instructed excitedly, and they all nodded.


    Here is how the game is played.


    Numbers like 1 - 10 will be written on different plain papers, and then they will be asked to pick a piece of paper, and the questions that bear their numbers on the paper picked will be asked.

 Chapter 232 - She looks like someone who hates doing dirty dishes.

    Angel, who was acting as her assistant, handed Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei two sheets of paper each.


    And each sheet of paper had some questions on them.


    While they also had a plain sheet which was for them to put down their preferences.


    Some questions we''re written on the paper for them to answer.


    The topic written on the paper given to Liu Longwei was ''Would she rather.''


    And this means that Liu Longwei had to choose what Chen Lihua would prefer from the other, while Chen Lihua did the same as well.


    The other plain paper was for them to put down their own preferences so that Jennifer would compare them with whatever they answered for each other.


    After they had finished putting down their answers, Angel took both papers from them before Jennifer began to ask her questions.


    She first started with Liu Longwei. And as she asked him, she looked at Chen Lihua''s answers to see if he got it correctly.


    "Would she rather drink coffee or drink tea?" Jennifer asked with a smile.


    "Tea," Liu Longwei answered with a simple word.


    "Why did you choose that?" Han Jian asked curiously.


    "Lihua hates coffee," Liu Longwei answered with a smile while looking at Chen Lihua.


    Jennifer checked the answer before announcing with a smile, "Correct answer!"


    Rounds of applause and cheers were heard.


    "Would she rather watch a movie or a concert?" "A movie," Liu Longwei answered.


    "Correct!" Jennifer announced.


    "Would she rather walk on the beach or dance in the club?"


    "Walk on the beach," Liu Longwei said.


    "Correct!" Jennifer announced once again.


    Wu Bohai stared at Liu Longwei before glancing at the others. He was indeed surprised that Liu Longwei had not failed any questions since. But he decided to keep calm and watch on.


    "Would she rather get up early or sleep in late?" Jennifer continued.


    "Get up early" Liu Longwei answered.


    "Correct!"


    This particular question was easy to answer because Chen Lihua always got up early in the morning so as not to go to the hospital late.


    She was an early riser so she had to go to bed early.


    "Would she rather go on a cruise or go camping?"


    Liu Longwei had a little thinking to do for this question because he hadn''t experienced it. But from his understanding of Chen Lihua, she would rather go camping with her friends than to go on a cruise.


    For now, that''s what he was sure of unless she would change her preferences in the future. When she has lived with him for a long time, he will make sure to change her mentality a little by showing her the world.


    What Liu Longwei meant was that Chen Lihua would change most of her preferences after being with him for a while more. That''s because he would take her out on trips, and make her experience lots of things she has never experience before.


    "Go camping," Liu Longwei answered.


    Chen Lihua thought he wouldn''t be able to answer the question correctly. So when he did answer it correctly, she smiled proudly.


    "Correct!" Jennifer said with a smile before continuing with her questions.


    "Would she rather cook dinner or do the dishes?" "Cook dinner," Liu Longwei answered without a second thought.


    "Why do you say so?" Caro asked, surprised.


    "Because she looks like someone who hates doing dirty dishes," Liu Longwei answered with a smile while staring at Chen Lihua with a hint of mischief on his face.


    "Which part of me looks like I hate washing the dishes?" Chen Lihua asked with a fake frown.


    "Everything," Liu Longwei responded with a teasing smile.


    Chen Lihua pouted before crossing her arms below her b.r.e.a.s.ts.


    And this unconscious action of hers caused her b.r.e.a.s.ts to appear more buxom and visible through her V-neck shirt.


    Angel gave her a look, and she immediately caught on as she adjusted her shirt quickly.


    She was lucky enough that no guy there dared to stare at their brother''s (Liu Longwei''s) woman.


    The guys had enough self-respect.


    "Our groom got the answer right. Next question," Jennifer said, drawing all their attention back to the game.


    "Would she rather watch a horror or a comedy?"


    "A comedy," Liu Longwei answered correctly once again.


    "Would she rather drink red wine or white wine?" Jennifer asked while expectantly waiting for Liu Longwei''s answer.


    "Red wine. Most red wines are sweeter than white wines. So in the case of my wife, since she has a sweet tongue, I guess she would choose red wine."


    "Well, you are correct!" Jennifer answered with a smile.


    "Do I have a sweet tongue?" Chen Lihua asked no one in particular.


    "Mmmhmm," Everyone that knew her taste hummed in response.


    "The last but not the least question for our groom. And if he gets this one correctly, he would receive a gift from his beloved wife," Jennifer announced.


    Amidst the rounds of applauses and cheers, Chen Lihua pointed at herself while asking in confusion, because she was not sure if Jennifer made a mistake.


    When did she say anything like that?


    "Me?" Chen Lihua asked as she pointed to herself.


    "Yes... Yes, you," Angel answered with a smile while leaving her in complete confusion.


    "Would she rather go out or stay home?" Jennifer asked Liu Longwei.


    "She would rather stay home," Liu Longwei answered before taking a sip of water to soothe his dry throat.


    "Correct answer! Ladies and gentlemen, let''s give a round of applause to the groom," Jennifer answered while behaving like a real chairwoman of an occasion.


    Zhang Bingwen whistled with a big smile on his face.


    Both his and Chen Lihua''s friends clapped and cheered him.


    He answered all of his questions correctly.


    Even Chen Lihua clapped for him.


    When the cheers died down, a lot, Jennifer spoke Liu Longwei.


    "Now it''s time for you to receive your present from your bride," After saying this part, Jennifer glanced at everyone present with a mysterious smile on her face.


    "Lily, you can gift your husband now by kissing his lips," Jennifer announced.


    Chen Lihua stared at Jennifer with a shocked and flushed face.


    Chen Lihua was right to be shocked because she wasn''t informed about it beforehand.


    Amidst the cheers and noise, Chen Lihua signaled Liu Longwei with her eyes to forfeit, but he made a shocking remark to the hearing of them all.


    "I wouldn''t miss this for anything," This sentence of his caused more cheers from their friends.


    Chen Lihua had no choice but to stand and walk to Liu Longwei since she wasn''t sitting beside him.


    Then she leaned in to give him a kiss.


    How could Liu Longwei let this opportunity pass by without getting satisfied?


    He made Chen Lihua sit on his laps before kissing her to his heart''s content.


    While they kissed, their friends clapped and cheered for them.


    After this little episode, it was now Chen Lihua''s turn to answer some questions.

 Chapter 233 - Drink it.

    After their little episode, it was now Chen Lihua''s turn to answer some questions.


    But she failed one question.


    It was not actually her fault because she was confused at that time and contemplated for a while before randomly picking one answer.


    The question she failed was this; ''Would he rather watch a horror or watch a comedy?''


    Chen Lihua chose horror.


    But the surprising thing here was that Liu Longwei didn''t give any answer to that question, he left the space blank. This meant that watching a horror or a comedy was neither his thing, so he wouldn''t try any of them.


    Chen Lihua was surprised that Liu Longwei left the space blank, so she asked him the movie he preferred to watch, and he answered with a smile, "Action, and thriller."


    Chen Lihua pouted and feigned anger, "So it''s your fault that I failed this question."


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he watched her behave childishly because she failed one question.


    "Lily, I thought you had a high IQ, how come you have failed this question?" One of her friends asked in surprise.


    "This has nothing to do with IQ," Chen Lihua replied while rolling her eyes.


    "That''s it! Let''s moved over to the next segment," Jennifer announced before turning to look at Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    "Lily, you and your husband have 10 minutes to ask each other any three questions of your choice. And you will take turns asking each other one question at a time. Lily, you will go first," Jennifer said while clapping her hands excitedly.


    Chen Lihua smiled while clearing her throat. Then she glanced at everyone present before resting her gaze on Liu Longwei.


    "If you only had 5 minutes with me, what would you want to do?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei stared right into her eyes before replying with a sincere look, "I would kiss you and tell you how much I love you."


    "Oh my! That sounds so cheesy," Wu Bohai said as he shook his head in disbelief.


    "What do you mean?" Gigi asked while sending him a death glare.


    "Wow! It''s so romantic," Caro said with a dreamy and emotional expression on her face.


    "What did you think about our first Kiss?" Liu Longwei asked bluntly.


    "I found it fascinating because I have never felt like that before," Chen Lihua replied with a red face.


    "When did you first fall in love with me?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "I don''t know if you will believe this, but I fell in love you with you at first sight," Liu Longwei declared with a smile.


    "Wow!" "Whoa!" As their friends cheered.


    Chen Lihua stared at Liu Longwei with a shocked filled face while wondering to herself, ''How in the world is that even possible?''


    But deep down her heart, she chose to believe him because she didn''t think that someone like him would lie to her for no reason.


    "Don''t mind him, he is a Casanova," Wu Bohai whispered to one of Chen Lihua''s friends that were sitting beside him.


    But then he received a slap on his head.


    "Who is that motherf**ker!" He hissed as he turned to see the culprit.


    Han Jian cupped his ear ???? with an expression of disbelief as he asked, "Am sorry, I didn''t hear you. You said what?"


    Wu Bohai didn''t dare to repeat the foul words he said earlier, so he forced a smile, "Nothing."


    Others laughed at him as they made fun of him.


    "What is the s.e.xiest thing you find about me?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Your looks and your body," Chen Lihua answered with a poker face but then burst into laughter as she couldn''t keep the facade on for long.


    Liu Longwei felt happy within himself as he stared at Chen Lihua with a proud smile.


    ''At least, she likes my Looks and body,'' Liu Longwei said to himself.


    "What activities do you love to do with me the most?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Mmmmm, sleeping with you and chatting with you" Liu Longwei answered with a smile.


    He answered the questions so shamelessly. Well, he wasn''t the shy type, and I think ???? nobody has ever seen him embarrassed before.


    This answer of his made Chen Lihua''s friends to send teasing gazes and smiles across her way.


    "When did you first fall in love with me?" Liu Longwei asked while staring at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua was quiet for a few seconds before replying, "Honestly, I fall in love with you when I noticed the attention, care, and love you showered me and our relationship."


    "Wow!" "Aww..."


    "That''s amazing!"


    "Lily, you totally got me there."


    "Okay Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the end of this segment, let''s move over to the next one. I promise you that it''s going to be fun. The name of the game is Drink it," Jennifer said to them all before turning to look at Angel and instructed.


    "Angel, please set the Tequila and the shot glasses on the table."


    Angel was assisted with some servants to set the table. Then all of them sat around the big table, ready for the next game.


    Jennifer then began to explain the rules of the game for them.


    "Am going to be saying out a series of things. And if you are a victim or if you have done it before, then please pour yourself a shot, and then drink it, thank you. Okay, let the game begin."


    "You''ve ever sent nudes to someone."


    Most of them drank a shot, including Jennifer. But Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were among the exception.


    "You''ve used s.e.x toys on yourself."


    Caro drank a shot. And she felt almost all the gazes on her, she explained.


    "Well, I was pregnant, and my husband refused to satisfy me s.e.x.u.a.lly because he was scared of the baby and my big stomach. I had no other option than to look for a solution myself."


    Jennifer stared at the tequila and at one of their friends who roared.


    "Jennifer do not try to cheat because you are the one reading out the questions. I know you are a victim of that because you accidentally spilled it to me the day you were drunk, so please help yourself with a shot."


    "I know you wrote this game," Jennifer said to her before drinking a shot.


    "Of course I did," She answered with a smile.

 Chapter 234 - Liu Longwei popped someones cherry?.

    "Jennifer, don''t try to cheat because you are the one reading out the questions. I know you are a victim of that because you accidentally spilled it to me the day you were drunk, so please help yourself with a shot."


    "I know you wrote this game," Jennifer said to her before drinking a shot.


    "Of course I did," She answered with a smile.


    Jennifer made faces at her and took her shot before continuing, "You''ve had a one night stand?"


    Few of them took the shot. But the funny thing was that Li Da, the neurosurgeon was amongst the few.


    Wu Bohai smiled to himself as he took his own shot. Even Zhang Bingwen followed suit.


    Chen Lihua looked on at them. But she was most surprised by Li Da. He always looked like a serious person, and so she was a bit surprised to know he had been a victim of that too.


    As for Zhang Bingwen and Wu Bohai, the playboy, she was not surprised at all.


    Since Liu Longwei was now sitting beside Chen Lihua, it was easy for him to whisper to her ear.


    "Don''t mind Bohai, a one-night stand is one of his hobbies."


    Chen Lihua stared at him for a while before whispering back to him, "What about you?"


    "Did you see me drink a shot?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua shook her head in a negative affirmation.


    "Good," Liu Longwei said.


    "You''ve given someone a lap dance?" Jennifer asked.


    Then without waiting for others to respond, she drank a shot immediately before waiting for the other victims to comply.


    This question was for the ladies mostly, so most of them drank the shot, including Caro.


    "You''ve eaten food off someone''s body?" Almost all of them took a shot.


    "Can eating cake from your lips be considered as eating food off your body?" Liu Longwei asked with a smile.


    "Mmmmm," Chen Lihua hummed, not quite understanding Liu Longwei''s teasing gaze and words.


    Liu Longwei drank a shot while Chen Lihua looked on.


    Since this particular game started, Chen Lihua has never taken a shot. She seems to be the only one whose lips have not touched the tequila, as others seem to have one or two questions that caused them to drink.


    "You''ve popped someone''s cherry?"


    Gu Jian, Mu Boqin, Li Da took a shot each, and Wu Bohai also took a shot, but his face was twisted in pain.


    "Boqin, whose cherry did you pop?" Su Changming asked curiously.


    "My wife''s," My Boqin answered proudly.


    Before Su Changming could ask Li Da, he already answered, "My wife''s."


    As for Gu Jian, He was tight-lipped.


    Chen Lihua noticed that Su Changming did not ask Wu Bohai, she felt that something was wrong, even with the frown on Wu Bohai''s face. So she looked at Liu Longwei for answered.


    "He was hurt by his first love, and that seemed to be the person he popped the cherry of," Liu Longwei explained.


    "Ooh," Chen Lihua said in understanding.


    "Longwei, why didn''t you take a shot?" Zhang Bingwen asked suddenly, and the surroundings became as quiet as a graveyard, apart from the music playing in the background.


    Everyone''s eyes were now focused on Liu Longwei, including Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua didn''t have anything against her husband, after all, whatever happened was in the past.


    She was only wondering why he didn''t take a shot since he had done something like that before.


    Liu Longwei felt the gazes of everyone on him, so he proceeded to ask Zhang Bingwen, without a tinge of fear or nervousness in his voice.


    "And why should I do that?" He queried.


    "Because you popped your ex-lover''s cherry," Zhang Bingwen blurted out.


    "That''s right, you popped her cherry," Wu Bohai said in support, after coming out of his pain.


    There was suspense, and it was almost suffocating everyone present.


    Chen Lihua almost found it difficult to breathe as Liu Longwei was not in a hurry to reply.


    After some seconds of silence, Liu Longwei asked another question calmly, as his gaze moved between Zhang Bingwen and Wu Bohai.


    "Was that what she told you two?"


    "Yes," The two chorused together.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly before giving a simple reply, "I did no such thing."


    Almost everyone seemed to heave a sigh of relief at his answer.


    "But she said you did so and refused to take responsibility," Zhang Bingwen insisted with a confused facial expression.


    "Bingwen enough! Since he said he didn''t do a thing like that, don''t you believe him? And besides, sister-in-law is here, what are you trying to do by still insisting on this matter?" Mu Boqin whispered to him.


    And it was then that it dawned on him that he had been spouting that nonsense in Chen Lihua''s presence.


    "Sister-in-law, don''t mind me," Zhang Bingwen said apologetically.


    Chen Lihua just shook her head without saying anything.


    Who knew what was going on in her mind?


    Zhang Bingwen felt that he was in trouble, as he couldn''t bring himself to look Liu Longwei in the eyes.


    ''What if this matter caused trouble between them (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) when their wedding was in two days?'' He asked himself.


    But he was just overthinking.


    "You''ve had s.e.x in the car?" The next question popped up without warning, and the victims drank a shot, including Mu Boqin and Zhang Bingwen.


    Even Jessica, Angel, and Caro were not left behind.


    "If you have ever lied to your girlfriend or boyfriend?"


    This time around, all of them took a shot, including Chen Lihua, who had not taken a shot since the game started.


    Liu Longwei gave Chen Lihua a look, in which she replied, "Stop looking at me like that, I am not taking this shot because of you."


    "I didn''t say anything," Liu Longwei replied.


    "Finally, you took a shot," Kendall said, referring to Chen Lihua.


    "If you have a tattoo."


    Angel happily drank her shot.


    Wu Bohai drank his shot and licked his lips after that.


    Then surprisingly, to Chen Lihua, she saw the man sitting next to her, stretch his hands to pour himself some of the tequila before drinking it at a go.


    She didn''t know her husband had a tattoo because she has never seen it.


    ''It seems like I''ve got a lot of touring to do,'' Chen Lihua said to herself.


    What she meant was that since she didn''t know that her husband had a tattoo on his body, she needed to explore his body to find out if he had any other thing apart from the tattoo on him.

 Chapter 235 - If you are still a v.i.r.g.i.n.

    She didn''t know her husband had a tattoo because she has never seen it.


    ''It seems like I''ve got a lot of touring to do,'' Chen Lihua said to herself.


    What she meant was that since she didn''t know that her husband had a tattoo on his body, she needed to explore his body to find out if he had any other thing apart from the tattoo on him.


    The next question was read out without warning, "If you are still a v.i.r.g.i.n."


    And because Chen Lihua was a little bit distracted, she didn''t hear the question. So Liu Longwei tapped her shoulder while signaling her with his eyes.


    Seeing that she still looked confused, Liu Longwei whispered the question to her, "If you are still a v.i.r.g.i.n."


    It took some seconds for Chen Lihua to realize what he meant. So she looked around to see if anyone would drink a shot, so she would be encouraged, but she didn''t notice any movement.


    Liu Longwei saw her fiddling her fingers, and smiled before leaning in to whisper to her, "I know you are embarrassed, but don''t be. You should be proud of yourself."


    Chen Lihua turned to stare at his smiling face. And immediately, his words seemed to sink right into her head.


    So she looked back at the table to see Angel, Caro, and Jennifer staring at her with a teasing smile.


    And without any sign of embarrassment on her face, she took a deep breath before drinking a shot.


    When those who didn''t know that Chen Lihua was still a v.i.r.g.i.n saw her drinking a shot, they were shocked, and so stared at her wide-eyed.


    Especially Liu Longwei''s friends, who thought that by now, he must have done the deed. But who knew that he still hasn''t done that.


    "Wow! So Longwei hasn''t tasted the meat yet?" Mu Boqin asked softly in surprise.


    "Sshhhh! Longwei is staring at us." Gu Jian shushed him as he glanced towards Liu Longwei''s direction.


    Liu Longwei gave them that look because he knew his friends very well. They were ready to say whatever they thought or had in mind, out, without considering anyone''s feelings.


    And since he didn''t want his shy bride to be embarrassed, he had to caution them on time.


    "You''ve made out with someone before?" The next question came up.


    This time around, everyone drank the shot.


    Caro took over from Jennifer as the MC.


    "Am going to ask some series of questions. And whoever you think is the likely person to have done or experienced whatever am about to ask, point them out. And the person with the highest number of support has got some exercises to do."


    "Alright, let''s begin," Caro announced as the others paid keen attention to her upcoming questions.


    "Who was the most likely person to be expelled in high school?"


    Chen Lihua had two fingers pointed at two different directions. One was steered at Wu Bohai, while the other one was directed at Jennifer.


    "Whoa! Sister-in-law, how did I offend you?" Wu Bohai asked in surprise.


    "You haven''t offended me... yet," Chen Lihua retorted.


    After this question, Wu Bohai had the highest number of fingers pointed at him, so he was asked to do ten frog jumps.


    "Do I look like a bad student to all of you?" Wu Bohai grumbled as he went to stay in a frog position.


    "Yes!!!" Everyone chorused as they laughed at him. They seemed to be having fun as they watched him do the frog jumps.


    "Who do you think was a mama''s boy/daddy''s girl at a younger age?".


    Su Changming and Chen Lihua had the highest number of fingers pointed at them, and their fingers were even.


    So they were assigned to some yoga poses.


    Chen Lihua was asked to do the pigeon pose, which she did correctly as she had an advantage because her body was flexible. Also, she was an expert in yoga.


    Han Jian stared at Chen Lihua in shock, as he watched her strike the pigeon pose effortlessly.


    "Wow! Sister-in-law''s body is so flexible," Su Changming said while Liu Longwei looked on with a proud smile.


    Now it was Su Changming''s turn to do the warrior pose.


    The funny aspect of this is that he didn''t even know what a warriors pose was, talk more of how it was done.


    So he just stood there awkwardly, before shamelessly asking Chen Lihua to show him, since he just witnessed how good she was in yoga.


    Even after Chen Lihua showed him how the warriors pose was done, he still couldn''t get it right, so he was sent back to his seat as his friends made fun of him.


    "Who do you think have had the wettest dreams?"


    Liu Longwei had the highest votes because all his friends and some of Chen Lihua''s friends, even Chen Lihua herself, were out to deal with him.


    The reason his friends picked him was that they thought that considering he hasn''t touched his wife since the three months, they signed their marriage certificate, he must have been having a lot of wet dreams since then.


    So Liu Longwei was asked to do 10 push-ups, which he did skillfully.


    And in the process of doing the push-ups, his biceps were visible for a delectable view.


    "Who do you think would have turned out gay?"


    No one was sure of who they should point for this question, so they did it randomly.


    And the most possible person was asked to act like a girl (if a boy was picked) or act like a boy for a minute (if a girl was chosen) and they did it perfectly.


    After this game ended, Chen Lihua yawned and said she was tired.


    "Not until after the best game ever, Truth and Dare!" Angel announced excitedly, and cheers resonated from them all, except for Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua.


    "I hate this game," Chen Lihua said softly.


    "Why?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Because you would be asked to do all sorts of ridiculous things," Chen Lihua said.

 Chapter 236 - I just want to be with you.

    The ''Truth or Dare'' game didn''t hold again.


    So they all drank some more wine and talked about important matters like how the wedding was going to be.


    Finding a place to sleep for the night was not a problem in this big mansion of Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua. Since there were more than enough empty rooms to accommodate them all.


    Sleeping arrangements had long been made, so all the tipsy and drunk fellas were immediately escorted to their rooms to rest their busy brains.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei left for their rooms together while holding each other''s hands.


    "How do you think our wedding will turn out?" Liu Longwei asked while looking at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua sighed before responding, "It will definitely turn out well, I know for sure."


    So hand in hand, Chen Lihua, and Liu Longwei took the elevator to the top floor.


    They said good night to themselves before going into their various rooms to have a good night''s rest.


    Chen Lihua took a bath and changed into one of her nightdresses before lying on her bed.


    She closed her eyes and tried to summon sleep to take over, but that didn''t happen.


    Chen Lihua was the same person that said she was sleepy, and now she couldn''t sleep again because the sleep was not forthcoming.


    What do you think was wrong with her?


    Chen Lihua had so many thoughts going through that occupied mind of hers.


    She rolled on her bed from side to the other restlessly. And when she had finally come to a decision, she got off her bed and left her room.


    The next moment, she was seen knocking gently on Liu Longwei''s door.


    Liu Longwei, who was already sleeping, heard the gentle knocks on his door and opened his eyes.


    "Come in," He said in a hoarse voice.


    Chen Lihua opened the door and walked to his bed. She raised the duvet before helping herself into it.


    "You can''t sleep?" Liu Longwei asked as he turned to lay on his side.


    "Mmmm," Chen Lihua hummed in response.


    Liu Longwei then brought her into his arms and patted her back in beats.


    When he thought that Chen Lihua had dozed off, she started making little movements.


    First, she started from smuggling close to Liu Longwei''s warm body to grabbing his face.


    And we know what happened next. Chen Lihua pecked Liu Longwei''s lips before going on to give him a deeper kiss.


    At first, Liu Longwei thought she was playing around when she pecked his lips. But he became apprehensive when she went on to slip her tongue into his mouth.


    Liu Longwei relaxed a little before licking Chen Lihua''s lips as he found the taste of her mouth fruity. And that''s because Chen Lihua used a fruity toothpaste to brush her teeth.


    Breaking away from the kiss, Liu Longwei called out to her, "Lihua, is everything ok, are you tipsy?"


    "No, I''m not. I am clear-headed," Chen Lihua answered before she went back to her business.


    Even with her answer, Liu Longwei felt that she was not normal. Then he thought that she was too lonely, and that''s why she wanted to get close to him tonight, so he smiled to himself and let her be.


    But when she started unbuttoning his shirt, he had to stop her.


    He held her by her shoulders and called out to her, "Lihua, what''s going on?"


    "I just want to be with you," Chen Lihua answered.


    Liu Longwei was speechless for a while, and it took some minutes for Chen Lihua''s words to sink into his head.


    "Why do you suddenly want to be with me now, what happened to the wedding night?" Liu Longwei quickly retorted as he captured Chen Lihua''s wandering fingers.


    "I feel so bad for denying you of your rights. I know your friends were shocked to know that you''ve never slept with me. Though we''ve already signed our Marriage Certificate," Chen Lihua answered sheepishly.


    Liu Longwei smiled while patting her hair gently, "You don''t have to feel bad. You gave me your reasons, and I accepted them wholeheartedly. Had it been I didn''t accept it, I would have talked it out with you. So you see, I am fine. Don''t mind my friends at all. This matter has nothing to do with them. It only concerns you and me."


    "I don''t know why I still feel bad. Longwei doesn''t worry, I won''t regret anything I do tonight," Chen Lihua said in persistence as she climbed onto his body.


    "I think you are drunk," Liu Longwei said while trying to get Chen Lihua off his waist.


    Chen Lihua was finally pushed to the bed.


    Liu Longwei sighed in relief when he thought that Chen Lihua had finally come to her senses.


    But he was wrong because he heard a low whimpering sound from the woman lying next to him. So he quickly turned her over, so he could take a proper look at her.


    Seeing the tears running down her cheeks from both eyes, Liu Longwei felt a sharp pain on his chest.


    "Lihua, why are you crying? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked concernedly.


    "You don''t want me? Is it because you don''t like me?" Chen Lihua said emotionally.


    Liu Longwei sighed as he wiped her tears away, "Who said I don''t want you or like you? How can I not want you when you seduce me with your body every day?"


    "Then, why don''t you want me to touch you? And you don''t want to touch me as well," Chen Lihua said as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Liu Longwei wiped the tears away while trying to explain to his emotional lady, "Lihua, I really want to eat you. But I can''t because of the promise I made to you. I know you are muddle-headed because of today''s events. Still, I know you will regret it tomorrow if anything should happen between us tonight, and I don''t want that."


    "I won''t regret it," Chen Lihua said as she pleaded with him using her eyes.


    Liu Longwei just stared at her without saying anything.


    So Chen Lihua used that as an opportunity to climb back on his body.


    Next, she held his face and started to kiss him, in which Liu Longwei didn''t reciprocate.


    Not feeling his response, Chen Lihua stared right into his eyes.

 Chapter 237 - Chen Lihua totally forgot about her wedding dress.

    The next morning, Liu Longwei left the sleeping Chen Lihua to wash up. And after he was done dressing, he walked towards the bed where his sleeping wife was lying.


    He smiled softly when he saw her facial expression, even with her eyes still closed.


    He leaned close to her before whispering in her ear, "I know you are awake, open your eyes."


    Even after his words, Chen Lihua continued to pretend to be fast asleep. No movements were made from her.


    "Are you embarrassed?" Liu Longwei whispered softly with a smile on his face.


    ''No response...'' So Liu Longwei blew air through his mouth to her ear. And his actions forced Chen Lihua to laugh, thereby exposing her facade.


    Chen Lihua was embarrassed recalling her actions last night, about how she very much wanted to sleep with Liu Longwei. But she blamed it all on the alcohol.


    And indeed, she was drunk because she couldn''t hold her liquor.


    "You know fully well how embarrassed I am, but yet, you still tease me," Chen Lihua said with flushed cheeks while sitting up on the bed.


    Liu Longwei gave her a peck on her lips when she finally decided to sit up on the bed.


    "Am leaving," He suddenly announced.


    Chen Lihua wiped her lips with the back of her hand, not because she found the kiss disgusting, but because she just woke up, and so hadn''t brushed her teeth.


    "So early?" Chen Lihua asked, glancing at the clock on the nightstand then back at Liu Longwei, who had already seated beside her on the bed.


    "Do you want me to stay back?" Liu Longwei asked with a teasing smile.


    Chen Lihua stared at him, stupefied without uttering a single word. The only part of her body that was moving was her eyelashes, which fluttered like wings of a bird.


    "What? The cat''s got your tongue now?" Liu Longwei asked while pinching her both cheeks gently.


    ''Hahaha...haha....????,'' Chen Lihua suddenly burst out in laughter.


    Liu Longwei let go of her cheeks and looked at her in amazement while wondering what was making her laugh so hard.


    So he asked with a blank face, "What''s so funny?"


    By the time his question came, Chen Lihua had already gotten a grip on herself.


    "You sound just like me."


    Still seeing his confused facial expression, she proceeded to explain further with a smile on her face, "Your words sounded just like what I would say."


    "Oh! That''s not bad, I guess we are influencing each other a lot more than we think," Liu Longwei said with a smile as he eyed those beautiful dimples his wife has on both cheeks.


    Liu Longwei glanced at the expensive designer wristwatch on his wrist. Then he cast a glance at Chen Lihua, "The guys and I are leaving now, so, see you tomorrow at the altar."


    And he sent her a wink after he said that word, ''Alter.''


    He just couldn''t wait for tomorrow to come. If he had the power, he would go and meet tomorrow, instead of tomorrow coming to him.


    "See you at the altar too," Chen Lihua said with a smile, not shy at the moment. So Liu Longwei left trails of kisses all over the face.


    Then he smiled satisfactorily at his piece of work before leaving.


    Chen Lihua wanted to escort him to the car, but Liu Longwei refused after glancing at her dress.


    Since this was the eve of their wedding, Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei, their families, and friends had a busy long day ahead.


    After Liu Longwei and his entourage left, Chen Lihua and the girls had a 30 minutes'' walk out section, before they freshened up and had their breakfast.


    Since the house has been decorated already with wedding decors. There was no point in touching that area again from the beginning, apart from adding some other things to it.


    More family members arrived at both Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s sides.


    Today was the main day for Chen Lihua''s bridal party, but that would be in the evening. But for now, she had a lot of work on her plate right now.


    Tomorrow is her big day, so she has to ensure that there would be no mistakes.


    After having her breakfast, Chen Lihua started off by ''running through the entire day.'' She didn''t want any surprises on her day, so she had to cross-check things.


    Next, she confirmed everything with her vendors. She made calls to all her vendors and to her Wedding planner¡ªVivian, who has been giving her feedbacks since day 1.


    This action of hers'' gave her peace of mind, so she wouldn''t have to be panicking all day.


    Immediately she put down the phone after her call with Vivian; Delmas Andrien, her Wedding dress designer, came and dragged her away.


    While being pulled away by him, Chen Lihua asked, "Delmas, is anything the matter?"


    "Oh, yes! Everything is the matter," Delmas said in exaggeratingly.


    "If I didn''t come to drag you off, I am sure you would forget to try your outfit for tomorrow on. Maybe till the end of today, you would just be making calls and getting all tensed up, totally forgetting the most important thing."


    "Oh my! That''s right, the dress," Chen Lihua said as she face-palmed herself.


    "You actually forgot about the dress? Huh! You''ve been the one disturbing me that you wanted to see your dress. And after I notified you that you could see your dress, you forgot?" Delmas said while sending a glare at her.


    Chen Lihua smiled awkwardly and continued to follow him while placating him.


    Just when they were very close to entering the room where her Wedding dress was kept, they met Angel.


    "Where are you going off to?" Angel asked.


    "Am going to try on my wedding dress," Chen Lihua said with a big smile, not trying to hide how happy and excited she was.


    "Ahhh!!!" Angel shrieked excitedly, whole running off.


    "What''s wrong with her?" Delmas asked in confusion.


    Chen Lihua took her sight off Angel as she turned to look at Delmas with a smile. "She is excited, and I''m sure she has gone to notify the others."

 Chapter 238 - Chen Lihua tries on her wedding dress for the very first time.

    "Ahhh!!!" Angel shrieked excitedly, whole running off.


    "What''s wrong with her?" Delmas asked in confusion.


    Chen Lihua took her sight off Angel as she turned to look at Delmas with a smile. "She is excited, and I''m sure she has gone to notify the others about my dress."


    Delmas nodded and said, "Alright, let''s go."


    When they approached the door, Delmas told her to shut her eyes for a surprise that was awaiting.


    "What if I trip?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "I am here to guide you," Delmas answered with a smile, and so Chen Lihua shut her eyes and allowed Delmas to lead her into the room.


    When they got into the room, Chen Lihua was anxious, and so couldn''t wait to see her dress and what it looked like.


    Delmas gave a few instructions to his assistants before telling Chen Lihua to open her eyes.


    "Lily, you can open your eyes now," Delmas said with a proud smile.


    This was the moment Chen Lihua had been waiting for because she knew she wouldn''t be disappointed, she opened her eyes slowly.


    Lo and behold when Chen Lihua opened her eyes, she saw what her eyes and mind couldn''t imagine.


    She couldn''t believe that what she was seeing was her very own customized wedding dress.


    In awe, Chen Lihua glanced at her dress, and then at Delmas. "Is this my dress?"


    "Mmhmm. Do you like it?" Delmas asked with a smile.


    "What are you saying? I love it," Chen Lihua said as she gazed at her wedding dress in astonishment.


    The sparkling Swarovski-studded gown features a three-meter train of intricate petal layers. The dress took over 1,000 hours to finish and was handmade by 15 skilled artisans.


    "We started from the design specifications and made some embroidery samples and fittings," Delmas said.


    Chen Lihua walked close to her dress and ran her hands on some part of the trails.


    Delmas smiled before explaining proudly, "The gown has painstakingly intricate crystal embroidery on every petal and layer of the train. Each of the petals had to be attached by hand. Also, the exquisite work on the wedding gown was all made by skilled hands."


    "This dress is so beautiful," Chen Lihua said emotionally as she walked around to look at the dress.


    "Do you think I can walk in this dress?" Chen Lihua asked worriedly because the dress looked heavy because of its a long train, and plus the over 200,000 Swarovski crystals embedded on them.


    Delmas smiled as he understood her worry. "The dress may look heavy, but it floats," he said.


    "That''s awesome!" Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "You can try your dress now," Delmas said to her with a smile before assigning his female artisans to help Chen Lihua into the dress.


    As the dress was placed on a mannequin, it took a lot of effort for the artisans to get it out.


    "Wow!" Chen Lihua exclaimed as she watched them use some efforts to get her dress off the mannequin.


    "Delmas, you are really great at what you do. I sent you some of the designs of the dress I wanted, and you added a wonderful touch to it. Thank you so much," Chen Lihua said happily.


    "You are welcome, Lily," Delmas said before leaving the room, so the female artisans can help Chen Lihua into her dress.


    It took almost 20 minutes for Chen Lihua to be completely dressed.


    While in the dress, Chen Lihua felt that she was in heaven. She has never seen a wedding dress as beautiful as this.


    While looking at herself in the mirror, Chen Lihua felt that she was in a dream. The dress fitted her so well that there wasn''t a need for any amendments whatsoever.


    "I feel like taking loads of pictures in this dress," Chen Lihua said out loud.


    "No, you can''t! You don''t want your dress to leak to the public before tomorrow, do you?" Delmas asked as he entered the room and approached her.


    "No, I don''t want that," Chen Lihua said with a slight smile on her face.


    Which bride would want the pictures of her wedding dress to leak before the actual wedding day?


    No one.


    "Then, be good. You can wait until tomorrow to take lots of pictures. By this time tomorrow, you should be at the altar, saying your wedding vows," Delmas reminded her as he touched a few places on her dress.


    Chen Lihua blushed profusely upon hearing what he said.


    "OMG! This dress is beautiful," Caro said as she walked in with the others, dressed in their bridesmaid''s dresses.


    Chen Lihua heard Caro''s voice and tried to turn with a smile on her face, as she couldn''t wait to show off her dress to them, but she couldn''t easily turn, and so her legs got tangled up with the dress in the process.


    "Easy...easy," Delmas said as he and the female artisans helped her to untangle the dress.


    The female artisans helped hold up her dress in other for her to turn.


    "Wow! You look like an angel," One of the girls said wide-eyed.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    In less than ten seconds, she was surrounded by her bridesmaids, her foreign friends, and her home friends.


    But they didn''t get too close to her for fear of stepping on the dress.


    "You girls look beautiful as well," Chen Lihua said while staring at the dresses they were putting on.


    "We know," Angle said while fluttering her eyelashes.


    "Angel came to tell us that you were about to try on your wedding dress, so we decided to rush over to see for ourselves. And here you are looking stunning and breath-taking. Ah! I''m so jealous," Kendall said while looking at the dress with a big smile.


    "Not just stunning, she looks like ''Her Royal Majesty'' (HRM)," One of them said.


    "I know Lily, she cannot for any day, slack with her dresses, talk more of the dress for her big day, not possible," Gigi said, applauding Chen Lihua.


    "I know, and that''s why I said we should all dress in our outfits to go see her," One of them said with a proud smile.

 Chapter 239 - Lady Chen and the female members of the Liu family arrives.

    "Not just stunning, she looks like ''Her Royal Majesty'' (HRM)," One of them said.


    "I know Lily, she cannot for any day, slack with her dresses, talk more of the dress for her big day, not possible," Gigi said, applauding Chen Lihua.


    "I know, and that''s why I said we should all dress in our outfits to go see her," One of them said with a proud smile.


    The girls kept praising Chen Lihua, and she kept smiling to the point that her cheeks started to hurt.


    "It''s time to get this dress off my body," Chen Lihua said with a satisfactory smile, but with her eyes still glued on the dress.


    "You must really love this dress," One of the girls said.


    "Of course, and I can''t trade it for anything in the world," Chen Lihua said seriously.


    "I am so envious of you," Caro said.


    "Why?" Angel asked.


    "Because I didn''t get to wear such a beautiful dress on my wedding day," Caro said while moving her eyeballs around.


    ''Hahaha...haha,'' the girls burst out in laughter.


    Delmas cleared his throat to gain their attention. Then he said to Chen Lihua with a smile, "It would be better for you to try walking on your wedding shoes, while the dress is still on your body........for practice."


    "How could I forget such an important thing?" Chen Lihua murmured to herself.


    "That''s right," Jennifer said.


    "Oh! You know it''s right, but you didn''t say anything earlier," Angel said to her, while Jennifer responded with a glare.


    Within a few minutes, Chen Lihua''s wedding shoes were brought to her, and she was helped to put it on, because of the nature of her wedding dress.


    "Finally!" Chen Lihua blurted out when she finally put the shoes on.


    She lifted the front part of the dress with her two hands, while her bridesmaids helped to raise the long trail of the gown up for her, so it would be easy for her to walk with it.


    Chen Lihua felt like she was floating as she took steps around the room.


    Her wedding shoes were customized three-inch heels, so it didn''t take a lot of effort for her to walk on it with the dress.


    At a point, her friends dropped the train of the dress on the floor, to see if it would be burdensome for her to walk with.


    But to their amazement, Chen Lihua walked very well. It didn''t feel like anything was weighing her down.


    They all sang praises to her, while Delmas stood by the side with a proud smile on his face while watching the dress he created with his own hands.


    But except with a little assistance from Chen Lihua, because she brought the idea for the dress.


    "That''s good! Now it''s time to get the dress off your body," Delmas announced.


    Chen Lihua didn''t throw a tantrum or asked for him to wait a while longer because she still wanted to wear the dress for some time. Instead, she obediently let the female artisans help her out of the dress.


    And when she was asked the reason for her obedience, she answered truthfully, and her words made a lot of sense.


    "In as much as I want to continue putting on this dress, it''s not possible because I have a lot of things to do. But the dress is mine, so it''s definitely not running away."


    After changing back to their original clothes, Chen Lihua and her friends got busy again.


    Chen Lihua assigned few trusted servants to send all her wedding attire like her wedding crown, jewelry, and the rest of them to the room where her wedding dress was kept.


    She wanted everything she was going to wear for the wedding to be in one room, so she could lock it up, so nobody would be able to see her dress till tomorrow.


    Chen Lihua was all smiles as she continued with her work.


    She finalized the last bits of things ¨C her hair, makeup, manicure and pedicure, and beauty prep. She finished just in time before her mother arrived with some family members of the Liu family, which consisted of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.


    They were all happy to see her. They hadn''t seen physically since the traditional Chinese wedding, as each of them had been busy with work and helping out with the wedding preparations.


    "Aunty...aunty," Cherry, little apple, and Anna called out to Chen Lihua excitedly.


    A more beautiful smile appeared on Chen Lihua''s face as she watched the three beautiful little girls run towards her direction.


    Chen Lihua lowered her tall body to given them a tight hug.


    As she talked with the children for a while, she remembered something, and so asked them with a gentle smile, "Have you seen your dresses for the wedding?"


    The three girls nodded, and so Chen Lihua asked again, "Do you like them?"


    The three girls chorused excitedly, "Yes, Aunty!"


    Then Chen Lihua smiled excitedly before taking them to the living room where their mothers were.


    She then instructed some servants to send in Children snacks.


    In about ten minutes, some healthy children snacks were brought it.


    The snacks were made by the chefs, and they prepared them quickly since they had fresh ingredients in the kitchen.


    The little girls thanked Chen Lihua before munching away on the mouth-watering snacks before them.


    While the children enjoyed their snacks, the a.d.u.l.ts had something to eat as well, while they discussed.


    After talking for a while, Lady Chen requested to see the wedding dress, but Chen Lihua refused, saying that ''she would see it in less than 24 hours''.


    Lady Chen didn''t know what to say, but she couldn''t force her daughter, so she didn''t dwell on it.


    "Hope the dress is ok and doesn''t need any amendments?" Lady Chen asked worriedly.


    This was her only child''s wedding we are talking about, she has every right to be worried.


    "Mom, everything is ok, you don''t need to worry, and the dress is beautiful," Chen Lihua assured her mother.


    The reason she didn''t want her mother to see her wedding dress was because she knew her mother very well.


    Everything won''t just end with her seeing the dress, she would also want to take a couple of shots and might even want her to put it on in her presence.

 Chapter 240 - Chen Lihuas ride arrives.

    The reason she didn''t want her mother to see her wedding dress was because she knew her mother very well.


    Everything won''t just need with her seeing the dress, she would also want to take a couple of shots and might even want her to put it on in her presence.


    Madam Liu advised Chen Lihua to do a handover, so all the works will not overwhelm her, and she needed to rest, and not to be stressed this day.


    Lady Chen chimed in as she very much supported the motion.


    So Chen Lihua appointed her mother and mother-in-law to supervise everything going on in the house to ensure that everyone knew their roles.


    "Me?" The two women asked while pointing to themselves.


    "Yes. You two are very much experienced and have no major work at the moment, so you have to help me," That''s was what Chen Lihua said to them.


    As for the wedding souvenirs, Chen Lihua entrusted her sisters-in-law to help watch over the work, while the servants packaged them.


    The wedding souvenirs were too many that Chen Lihua''s friends and sisters-in-law had to put a hand.


    It''s not like it''s today they decided to start packaging the gifts. But the problem here is that over a thousand guests were coming for the wedding, and the gifts had to be that much.


    The packaging of the wedding souvenirs has been going on for a few days now. So what''s remains now was about two hundred (200) bags, which needed to be placed with gifts in it.


    While this work was going on in one of the rooms, the kitchen was bustling as the Michelin chefs were very busy preparing lunch for everyone.


    Chen Lihua received a call after a quick lunch from Vivian, her Wedding planner, who called her to come and check on the wedding venue.


    Chen Lihua immediately hurried out with one of her home friends, Xiaoxiao and model friend, Gigi.


    They left with a jeep and two other cars for the bodyguards.


    Chen Lihua had sunglasses over her eyes and a mask over her nose and jaw.


    So when they arrived at the venue, they bodyguards surrounded them immediately, as they helped them get in.


    Immediately they entered the venue, Chen Lihua and her friends almost thought they had stepped into paradise.


    The wedding venue was fully decorated with flowers, colored lights, and other beautiful wedding decorations.


    Chen Lihua exchanged pleasantries with Vivian.


    Chen Lihua was in awe as she stared at the wedding decorations.


    She and Vivian walked around the venue while Vivian talked about some things.


    "Are you satisfied? Do you have anything you are not happy with?" Vivian asked her with a smile.


    "No, I am satisfied. Vivian, thank you so much, I can''t tell you how happy I am," Chen Lihua said to her while giving her a big hug.


    "You are welcome. It''s my job," Vivian replied.


    Chen Lihua and Vivian sat at a table as Vivian told her other plans she had for the venue, while Gigi and Xiaoxiao walked around in admiration.


    They were almost tempted to take some pictures, but they managed to restrain themselves in time.


    Vivian pointed to the place where Chen Lihua would come in from, where she would sit with Liu Longwei, and some other important points to note.


    "Where is your husband? He is supposed to be here with you," Vivian asked.


    "He has other things he''s busy with, I am sure he would come later," Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Ok," Vivian said in understanding.


    "Don''t forget, no part of this hall should leak before tomorrow. In fact, till the reception," Chen Lihua instructed.


    "No problem, you have my word on it," Vivian responded while smiling.


    Then Chen Lihua smiled and said goodbye to her before leaving with her friends, as Vivian continued to instruct her subordinates.


    When Chen Lihua arrived back home, she noticed some changes with the decorations on the house and the environment.


    For instance, right now, she was seeing more security cars parked in the vicinity, and two helicopters hovering over her head.


    Before she could ask questions, one of her personal bodyguard''s she left behind at home, came over to report to her.


    "Boss said you needed more security as the wedding day was tomorrow, so he sent them over here. He also said that you shouldn''t be bothered and can consider them invisible."


    Chen Lihua nodded her head before walking past him with her friends, who were giggling like kids behind her.


    "Am so jealous, Mr. Liu loves you so much," Xiaoxiao said dreamily.


    Chen Lihua stopped walking and turned to reply to her, "Don''t worry, I will help you find a husband if you don''t get one."


    "Who needs your help?" Xiaoxiao huffed jokingly.


    The three ladies laughed and went into the house together.


    Next on Chen Lihua''s list was to go through her wedding vows. So she went into her room to get the book where she wrote her vows so that she could recite them.


    After reviewing them for a while and still couldn''t find any meaning to what she wrote, she shredded the pair while saying to herself, "Lihua, you can do this without the book."


    And so, she began to recount everything Liu Longwei had done for her since they signed their wedding certificate.


    And as she recalled them, words came to her mind, and so she closed her eyes to think about the words and save them to her head.


    She didn''t need any big grammar to write her vow. If what she and Liu Longwei felt for each other was actually love, and they also genuinely care about each other, then writing vows wouldn''t be difficult.


    Chen Lihua did her homework now, she now knew what to say as her wedding vows.


    While she was gulping down a bottle of water, continuous knocks resounded on her door.


    Chen Lihua thought there was an emergency, and so she quickly rushed to open the door.


    She opened the door to see Liu Dongmei and some of her friends standing there with big smiles on their faces.


    "What''s the matter?" Chen Lihua asked anxiously.


    "Your ride for tomorrow has arrived!!!" All of them squealed at once.

 Chapter 241 - Chen Lihua cries emotionally.

    "What''s the matter?" Chen Lihua asked anxiously.


    "Your ride for tomorrow has arrived!!!" All of them squealed at once.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t believe her ears, Angel repeated the words for the second time.


    Something came to Chen Lihua''s mind.


    ''If my ride was normal and not too ordinary, they won''t be here smiling at me like that, Longwei must have done something outrageous.''


    Seeing her lost in thought, Liu Dongmei held her hand before dragging her off with them.


    Outside Lady Chen Madam Liu and the rest were already there admiring the ride.


    When Chen Lihua saw it with her eyes, she couldn''t believe it because she was in shock.


    The car they said was her ride was a car she didn''t believe she would ever ride in because they were only twenty of them in the world because of its high cost, and the twenty (20) were all customized.


    So you see, money was not the issue here, but power, authority, and identity, who you are!


    "Can someone pinch me, so I can wake up from this dream?" Chen Lihua said, as she was still shocked, and couldn''t believe her eyes.


    Jennifer immediately pinches her since she was standing closest to her, and Chen Lihua hissed as she felt the pain.


    "Am...Not dreaming, right?" She asked softly, to no one in particular.


    "You are not dreaming, dear. This is Karlman King, the world''s most expensive SUV," Lady Chen was all smiles when she answered.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know when she screamed and ran a lap around the car.


    The car was so big. One of the bodyguards opened the car door for her, so she could take a good look at the interiors.


    Like all things that claim to be world first-class, the King generated massive media attention when it was first introduced. With good reason, too: it''s a custom SUV built on the chassis of a Ford F-550 that stands out for sheer size and angular, unprecedented shape. It''s massive, bears some resemblance to Batman''s Tumbler, it''s absolutely outrageous on the inside. It comes with a record-setting price both for the base and the upgraded version.


    It''s not that the King is not luxurious enough, because it is. With the massive volume of interior space, it comes with a partition that separates the owner from the mere mortal driving him around. Having a pop-up TV screen, a fridge with champagne, coffee machine, champagne flutes, and coffee cups, a PlayStation 4, starry roof, colored LEDs throughout, and a variety of the finest leathers used for the upholstery.


    This adds to the final price and the weight of the vehicle, further downing performance. With the standard 6.8-liter V10 engine from the F-550 that delivers around 420 hp, the King can reach a top speed of about 136 mph (220 kph), but it drops down to a mere 87 mph (140 kph) if you opt for bullet-proofing. The King is heavy as it is, but it goes up to 13,230 pounds (6,000 kg) if you think you could somehow end up getting shot at and want protection.


    The one Liu Longwei got had bulletproof, and this is to give you an idea of the amount he might have spent when purchasing the car.


    Karlmann King was created to be a rolling work of art by Italian designer Luciano D''Ambrosio. The King is hand-built in Italy with financing from the Beijing-based International Automotive Technologies. Over 1,800 people work on one of these SUVs for the base model, and it takes them up to 15 months to complete the project.


    So with this, you see why Karlmann King is the world''s most expensive SUV?


    Chen Lihua''s mouth was agape in shock as she stared at the interior decors of the car.


    ''Is this a car?'' She asked herself because the interior of the car was something else. It was too luxurious to be used for a car.


    Chen Lihua felt that if she takes a step into this car, she might not want to come out again, because the car was too beautiful.


    Her friends shrieked in shock when they saw the interior of the car.


    "What the f**k!" Jennifer literally screamed absentmindedly without taking into consideration of her surroundings, because she was too shocked to do so.


    "Bring as many Champagne bottles you can lay your hands on," Madam Liu happily instructed the servants.


    Chen Lihua stepped into the car as her eyes glanced through the entire interior. Her eyes scanned everything it met.


    It was as if she didn''t want to miss any tiny detail the car had.


    There was a joyous celebration in the house.


    Chen Lihua felt so touched and emotional that she didn''t know when tears started rolling down her cheeks.


    "Lihua, are you crying?" Liu Huiling asked in surprise.


    Liu Huiling''s question made everyone''s gaze to be focused on Chen Lihua.


    "My dear, don''t cry, okay," Madam Liu said with a doting voice.


    "Don''t worry about her. Those are tears of joy," Lady Chen said happily.


    It was then that Chen Lihua noticed the tears on her cheeks, so she sniffed and wiped them off.


    "Awwwnnn. Lily, don''t cry, okay?" Caro said with a smile.


    "Am not crying," Chen Lihua denied, but more tears rolled down her cheeks in the process.


    And as Chen Lihua couldn''t control her emotions, she burst into tears. They were really tears of joy.


    She didn''t believe that in this life, a man could treat her so well.


    She didn''t believe in marriage because she had seen how her parent''s married life turned out. Not only her parents.


    Stories she heard from her friends, the stories she saw on the news, and from happenings around the world.


    When her mother told her about her marriage with Liu Longwei, she didn''t agree at first.


    And when she agreed, she didn''t do it because she really wanted to get married, but just because of her mother, who told her about the Chen Company merging with the Liu company. So she decided to get married to Liu Longwei.


    Had it been she believed in marriage, she wouldn''t have just got into that relationship with Liu Longwei just like that.


    But because she didn''t believe in it, she decided to casually go into that relationship with him, with the mindset that ''If things worked out, then it worked. And if it didn''t work, then it just didn''t work''.


    So that''s why Liu Longwei seemed to be the only one putting in any effort into their relationship.

 Chapter 242 - "Brother, your bride is crying".

    But because she didn''t believe in it, she decided to casually go into that relationship with him, with the mind-set that ''If things worked out, then it worked. And if it didn''t work, then it just didn''t work''.


    So that''s why Liu Longwei seemed to be the only one putting in any form of effort into their relationship.


    But now seeing how much love, care, and affection Liu Longwei showed to her even though she hasn''t reciprocated them all in the way she should, she felt so touched.


    She felt a tinge of regret in her heart for not taking their relationship that serious after seeing what Liu Longwei has been doing for her.


    And right now, she has concluded in her heart that she would treat him right. She would take their relationship into consideration whenever she wants to take a step or make a decision.


    She has decided to put in lots of effort into their relationship.


    While these thoughts were going through her mind, it didn''t stop her tears from continually rolling down her cheeks.


    At a point, she had to cover her face with her palms since she tried wiping the tears away, but it just refused to stop.


    The more she wiped them, the more they came rolling down her cheeks again, so she ignored them.


    While her friends were trying to make her stop crying, Liu Dongmei with a smile on her face, she shifted to the side to dial her elder brother''s phone number, and he picked on the first ring.


    Once he picked up the call, Liu Dongmei didn''t wait for Liu Longwei to utter a word before she spoke. "Brother, your bride is crying."


    Liu Longwei was taken aback by her statement.


    ''How could his bride be crying?'' Liu Longwei asked himself before asking Liu Dongmei with a hint of anxiousness in his voice, "Did something happen to her?"


    Liu Dongmei could sense the tinge of uneasiness in her brother''s voice, so she smiled as she ascertained that her brother truly loved her sister-in-law.


    "Brother, calm down. Nothing happened to her. She was probably too happy, but I think you should talk to her, and maybe then, she will calm down a bit," Liu Dongmei suggested.


    "That''s alright," Liu Longwei said before terminating the call immediately.


    Knowing that nothing happened to his wife, Liu Longwei heaved a sigh of relief he didn''t know he had been holding in.


    His wedding with Chen Lihua was in a few hours, and no longer up to a day. So he cannot allow any harm to come near her, or let her be unhappy, even for a second.


    Just as the call ended, Liu Dongmei was trying to walk back towards the car, but her phone rang again. Hence, she checked the phone, only to see that it was a video call from her brother, so she accepted it immediately.


    "Give the phone to Lihua," Liu Longwei said immediately he saw his sister''s face.


    "Ok," Liu Dongmei replied before she hurriedly walked to Chen Lihua.


    "Lihua, Big Brother wants to speak with you," Liu Dongmei announced.


    Without looking up, Chen Lihua rejected the call with a muffled voice. "Tell him to go away, I don''t want to speak with him."


    Liu Longwei heard her voice, he didn''t need his sister to interpret her words for him.


    "Where is she?" Liu Longwei asked as a smile appeared on his lips.


    "She is inside the car," Liu Dongmei answered with a smile.


    It seems like Liu Longwei had infected her with a smile as well.


    "I want to see her," Liu Longwei said as he gently scratched his forehead with his finger.


    As everyone could hear the conversation between Liu Longwei and Liu Dongmei, they smiled and felt a sweet rumbling sensation in their hearts.


    ''What a responsible groom,'' they thought.


    Liu Dongmei understood that her brother wanted her to turn her phone to face Chen Lihua, so he could see her. So she immediately did so.


    "I don''t want to see him," Chen Lihua said with her palms still over her face.


    "But I can see you already," Liu Longwei said in a cheerful voice while staring at his wife.


    "But I can''t see you," Chen Lihua responded without looking at him while trying to make him unsatisfied with the current situation, but her plans failed woefully as Liu Longwei answered, "As long as I can see you, it doesn''t matter."


    Chen Lihua then stopped crying on seeing that her plans did not work out.


    "Why are you crying?" Liu Longwei asked because that is the question he mostly needed an answer to.


    "Nothing," Chen Lihua replied and sniffed immediately after that.


    "Longwei, you don''t have to worry about that. She cried because she was too happy because of the ride you delivered to her doorstep," Lady Chen replied with a smile. She had come to the conclusion that her daughter wouldn''t have the guts to say the truth.


    Liu Longwei immediately greeted Lady Chen, his mother, and his elders that were present, and they all accepted his greetings happily.


    Now stating back at his wife, Liu Longwei said to her, "Honey, don''t cry anymore, ok? The ride is for you, and tomorrow is our day. You don''t want to look weird with puffy eyes tomorrow, right? Please stop crying, so my heart can be at ease."


    "Awwnnn!!!" ????????. The ladies there blushed at the sweet words Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua, not minding their presence at all.


    His sweet words caused a big smile to turn up on Chen Lihua''s lips, even though she still had her palms over her face.


    Knowing fully well that no one could see her smile, she decided to use that opportunity to blush to her heart''s content.


    And when she was done blushing, she faked a serious look ad she wiped her teary eyes while sniffing.


    Everyone around laughed at her.


    Liu Longwei wanted to laugh along with them, but he dared not do so for fear of provoking her. So he had a hard time holding in his laughter.

 Chapter 243 - Getting rid of the car rather than not having his bride appear at the Alter.

    And when she was done blushing, she faked a serious look ad she wiped her teary eyes while sniffing.


    Everyone around laughed at her.


    Liu Longwei wanted to laugh along with them, but he dared not do so for fear of provoking her. So he had a hard time holding in his laughter.


    "Don''t cry anymore, ok?" Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Who is crying? It''s not like I''m a child," Chen Lihua whispered inaudibly, without being in the least embarrassed.


    ''Who was the one that was crying earlier on, a ghost?'' This was the question everyone that witnessed Chen Lihua''s little drama asked themselves.


    Liu Longwei spoke to her for a little while before the video call ended.


    And after that, Chen Lihua''s friends dragged her off to get dressed for the bridal shower.


    Chen Lihua didn''t want to leave the car, because it was too comfortable for her. So her friends took a while to haul her out of the car.


    "Cry baby, you need to come out quickly for your bridal shower, so you will have more than enough time for your beauty sleep," Kendall said while holding unto one of her hands.


    Chen Lihua was reluctant, but she came down anyways. It''s not like the car was running away.


    "This car is too comfortable and well-furnished for me to resist. What will you all say if I refuse to come down from the car when we arrive at the church tomorrow?" Chen Lihua teased with a serious facial expression while smoothing out her dress after she came down from the car.


    Everyone stopped in their steps, pausing in their actions as they all stood to stare at her with shocked and ugly expressions on their faces.


    Liu Dongmei was the first to break the silence as she said earnestly, "Then, my brother would probably get rid of the car without minding the expenses. Umm...I think he would rather do that than not having his bride appear at the altar."


    Madam Liu cleared her throat, while Lady Chen glared angrily at her daughter for making such a remark.


    "Lihua, you''d better mind the kind of jokes you tell."


    It seemed as if this sentence made Chen Lihua come back to her senses as she suddenly realized that her mother, mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law we''re still present.


    So she smiled awkwardly and said, "I am sorry, I was just joking."


    "It''s alright," Liu Huiling said before walking off with the others, while Chen Lihua and her friends walked behind.


    "Lihua, don''t joke like that again. You almost gave us a scare," One of her home (Chinese) friends said with a worried look.


    "That''s right, you shouldn''t tell such bad jokes on a day like this," Gigi said.


    "Alright, mummies, I have heard you all," Chen Lihua said while rolling her eyes.


    "Alright... alright, let''s get the party started before the other guests start to arrive," One of them reminded the rest. They all quickly hurried inside for a change of dress.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know much about bridal parties, so she left all the work and planning to her friends to handle.


    So this means that she was not aware of most of the items being used for the bridal party.


    Her job was to get dressed and look beautiful.


    Her friends actually got her the dress she was putting on, and it was a short white gown.


    She looked quite s.e.xy in that dress.


    She had her hair in an updo, with a nude make up on her face. Her body was adorned with few red ruby jewelry, and her outfit complimented with a red three inches stilettos on her feet.


    While walking outside the house, she was excited as she couldn''t wait to see what her friends planned.


    The venue was right in the house, at the backside, and it was fully decorated.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t believe eyes while staring at the decorations, they were magnificent.


    How come she didn''t know when all these plans and decorations were going on?


    Well, it wasn''t her fault, she has been quite as busy like a bee without a chance to slack off. So how could she have known?


    The only thing she knew was that there was going to be a special bridal shower, which she knew since she sent out her wedding invitations.


    She thought the party was going to be simple, that''s why she didn''t put any effort into planning anything.


    But even though she still prepared big presents for those that we''re going to be in attendance.


    When her friends (bridesmaids) talked about inviting some people, she didn''t panic because she had got more than enough gifts.


    The only thing she was worried about was how the small party was going to be. Still, her friends (bridesmaids) told her not to worry, that everything was already taken care of.


    And because she trusted them, she decided not to put her mind at the party. And that''s why she didn''t prepare any special dress beforehand.


    And before she could decide on putting on one of the dresses she already had before then, her friends handed her the short white dress.


    Like they said, ''everything had been taken care of.''


    Chen Lihua felt so grateful to them, they were really her true pals.


    As she walked to the venue, the photographer who had been invited early on, immediately began his work.


    He started taking shots of Chen Lihua and all that were present.


    It''s not like Chen Lihua was taking photographs for magazine cover, so there was no need for her to pose. So she just acted like the camera was non-existent.


    Most of her friends were in attendance, even the ones she hadn''t set her eyes on since she came back to China.


    Her friends from different parts of the world were present in other to celebrate her. Her cousins, and so on.


    Understanding Chen Lihua''s nature, none of her friends invited any male counterparts, it was just a ladies thing.

 Chapter 244 - Marriage Advice.

    For the Bridal shower party, there were love balloons, confetti balloons, and the bride-to-be sash, which Xiaoxiao put on Chen Lihua immediately she arrived.


    Paper straws, decor set, bride-to-be banner, bride-to-be cake topper, bride-to-be favor bags, burlap bags, hairbands for them to tie and hold their hairs back.


    There were bride tribe cups, photo clip string light. Most of Chen Lihua''s pictures were hanged, starting from when she was born till when she became a successful a.d.u.l.t.


    A baby-pink foil fringe curtains could be seen, which Chen Lihua parted before entering the center of the place (where they would sit).


    Diamond cake toppers could be seen on the bridal shower cake. Photo booth props kit, glitter paper garland, white and gold paper party pack, ''I Do'' crew party bags were also there.


    Among others were glitter paper hearts, ring confetti, white battery tea lights, Miss to Mrs bottle holder, Happily ever after banner, chocolate kiss labels, welcome to a bridal shower stage arts, future Mrs gift box, and lots more. Donut favor bags with ''Donut, mind if I Do'' written on it, and then with, ''Lihua & Longwei Sept 2* 20**'' written at the bottom of the Donut favor bags.


    There were also games like bridal bingo & he said, she said, wedding word find, and four (4) packs of bridal shower games.


    The entire ceremony went well, and it was fun, coupled with Chen Lihua''s crazy friends making the whole place lively.


    The funny thing was that her bridesmaids were in uniform. They wore short and s.e.xy red dresses to match with Chen Lihua.


    Another crazy fact was that the same colors of outfits Chen Lihua and her bridesmaids were currently putting on were the same colors as those they would be putting on tomorrow.


    After playing the games and cutting the cake, it was time for advice and well wishes.


    Well, wishes cards were given to Chen Lihua, and they also advised her, especially her mother, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and some of her friends that were already married; since they''ve each had a handful of experiences in their own marriages.


    "You don''t walk out from your marriage because it''s not working, you try to make it work. You do your best to fix it," Lady Chen said to Chen Lihua without knowing that Liu Huiling was paying rapt attention to her words.


    Those words really made Liu Huiling absent-minded as her mind became filled with thoughts of her marriage with her husband.


    She had already planned giving up on her marriage and leave her matrimonial home with her daughters, even after threatening her husband.


    Her reason for threatening him was very simple, she wanted him to be represented at her brother''s wedding ceremony, so as not to cast her face, outside.


    She didn''t really mind bringing up her daughters by herself, because she was more than capable, and she also had her family to support and back her up.


    But Lady Chen''s advice to Chen Lihua made her have a second thought about her marriage.


    ''Since I''ve been tolerating him for a while now, there is no harm tolerating for a few more times. I can try to make my marriage work,'' Liu Huiling said to herself.


    The truth is that she has been tolerating her husband for a long now, without trying to confront him or find out what the problem was, and why he would cheat on her.


    The issue here is that she hadn''t made any effort to make her marriage work since she found out about her husband''s cheating habit.


    She just sat down, crossed her legs while folding her arms as she watched things go on by itself.


    But now, she has decided to give her marriage a second trial. At least, it was better than not doing anything at all.


    No woman wants her marriage to crash. And if she doesn''t want hers to crash, she has got to stand up and do something about it.


    Madam Liu had been observing her daughter, Liu Huiling since Lady Chen made that statement.


    Even the troubled expression on her daughter''s face didn''t escape her sight.


    Since Liu Huiling had refused to open up to her on her marriage, she decided to wash her hands off her problems.


    She knew that Liu Huiling was a proud person, and so cannot try to force words out of her mouth; otherwise, she (Liu Huiling) would pick a quarrel with her.


    And since she didn''t have the slightest idea of what was going on in her (Liu Huiling) marriage, she didn''t know how to help her. So she could only give her random advice from time to time.


    Madam Liu became happy to see that Lady Chen''s words had a positive impact on her.


    At least now, she can be assured that Liu Huiling might open up to her, and find the solution to her problem.


    Chen Lihua, who the advice was for, didn''t say anything but thought otherwise.


    Instead of her to keep that advice in mind so she would know how to handle her relationship with Liu Longwei because relationsh.i.p.s are not always smooth sailing; she started thinking of her parent''s relationship.


    Her mother''s advice to her made her think twice about the kind of relationship her parents had.


    ''No wonder mum continued to stay in the relationship with her father even though he physically abused her at times, she was trying to make their marriage work. But what if she had died in the process, would she have been able to make her marriage work in the grave?''


    These were the thoughts that were going through Chen Lihua''s mind.


    You can''t blame Chen Lihua for thinking that way because she had seen her father hit her mother on some occasions after getting into an argument.


    But there was one thing she has failed to understand up till now. People are different.


    Just like her mother and mother-in-law, they each had things they could tolerate.


    "Lihua dear, no marriage is perfect. Husband and wife have to learn to tolerate each of their shortcomings. Marriage is not a bed of roses," Madam Liu said to the slightly absent-minded Chen Lihua.


    But Chen Lihua still nodded because she heard her. At least her attention was called back when she heard her name.


    Chen Lihua already knew that no relationship was perfect. At times, she also had some misunderstandings with her mother, familiar friends as well. So, she understood this part well enough.

 Chapter 245 - Forced to go to a Night Club.

    Chen Lihua already knew that no relationship was perfect. At times, she also had some misunderstandings with her mother, familiar friends as well. So, she understood this part well enough.


    When the topic about s.e.x came up, the mood was lively, trust Chen Lihua''s crazy friends, you cannot predict their actions.


    Chen Lihua had a question to ask because she didn''t know anything about s.e.x. But she was embarrassed and, therefore, didn''t know how to ask the question.


    Her mother, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law were present, how could she ask such an embarrassing question. She didn''t dare, after all, her skin wasn''t thick enough.


    Seeing Chen Lihua fidgeting with her fingers, Liu Huiling smiled and asked, "Lihua, do you have any questions to ask? If there is anything you want to know, just ask, we will answer you."


    Chen Lihua shook her head with an embarrassing smile and looked on.


    Anyone there could tell that Chen Lihua was not acting normal, she looked a bit distressed.


    No matter what they said to her, Chen Lihua refused to talk, so they let her be.


    By 6:30 pm, the bridal shower party was over. So Lady Chen, Madam Liu, and the rest that wouldn''t be spending the night there left after advising them to sleep early in other for them to rise early for the big day tomorrow.


    But Chen Lihua''s two sisters-in-law and her bridesmaids did not leave.


    Chen Lihua was dragged inside the house, where she changed into a beautiful white nightdress, and her bridesmaids dressed into red nightdresses, and they took photos together.


    Her sisters-in-law were not left out of the fun. They actually took lots of photos.


    Instead of going to bed after taking lots of beautiful shots, Jennifer and some other person suggested going to the night club.


    But Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling rejected her suggestion. At the same time, the rest gladly accepted it, including Liu Dongmei, who was already jumping up for joy.


    "Dongmei, you can''t be serious. Who will take care of the children?" Liu Huiling asked with furrowed brows.


    "You must be joking with me. Their nannies are here. I know you are just bringing up excuses in other for you not to join us, but I tell you right now that you are coming with us," Liu Dongmei declared, having made up her mind.


    What Liu Dongmei said was the real fact. Liu Huiling didn''t want to go to the night club with them, so she just found a random excuse to give. But unfortunately for her, Liu Dongmei knew her tactics well, and she wouldn''t allow that.


    Liu Huiling sighed and said, "Am not going."


    "The earlier you dress up, and we leave, the earlier you come back to meet your kids. I just want you to have a bit of fun and loosen up that stiff character of yours," Liu Dongmei said with a smile.


    As for Chen Lihua, she attempted running away, but her two arms were caught just as she was about to take a flight.


    "Leave me alone, I am not going anywhere. That place is so noisy, what kind of fun are we going to have in that kind of environment?" Chen Lihua asked with a frown.


    "You never can tell until you step your feet there," Jennifer said with a smile.


    "I don''t want to go. We are supposed to be having our beauty sleep for tomorrow, but no, you all want to go to the club". Chen Lihua complained.


    The two ladies holding each of her arms glanced at each other with tacit understanding, before they started to pull Chen Lihua away.


    Chen Lihua screamed for help, but who wants to help her.


    "Lihua dear, you better save your vocal cords for your wedding night tomorrow," Xiaoxiao teased with a smile, and the rest laughed so hard.


    Chen Lihua''s face was flushed red in embarrassment, she was momentarily speechless for a while.


    ''Where did I get these type of friends from?'' She thought in her head.


    Seeing that she was still being dragged away, Chen Lihua shouted, "But I don''t have anything to wear."


    "We went shopping the other day, and I''m sure we got you something you could wear to the club," Caro said with a smile.


    In about ten minutes, Chen Lihua and the rest were dressed in skimpy outfits.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling kept dragging their short dresses down, but to no avail.


    Chen Lihua placed one of her palms over her chest, as she tried to hide her cleavage, but it wasn''t working.


    "I feel like I''m n.a.k.e.d!" Chen Lihua complained bitterly.


    "You don''t feel like that when you are on the runway?" Gigi teased.


    "The situation is different now. That was for work, but this one is to display my body for free," Chen Lihua said with a big frown on her face.


    Her friends found her words funny, so they laughed at her.


    Even the stony-faced Liu Huiling joined them to laugh.


    "Girl comes on, this is the last night of your single sisterhood, you can just have a little fun now," One of her friends said.


    "What are you saying? I''ve been married for three months now, so I have long ended my single life," Chen Lihua said while staring at the person unbelievably.


    "Don''t tell me you don''t understand what I mean. This is the bachelorette night," The person said.


    "That''s right Lihua, am sure big brother is having fun with his friends, so you shouldn''t be left out as well. I had a lot of fun on this day as well," Liu Dongmei said.


    Chen Lihua opened her mouth to talk because she still had something to say, but Angel shut it for her.


    "Enough with your whining, let''s go!"


    After that sentence, Liu Dongmei and Chen Lihua''s friends exchanged several glances. Their action skipped Chen Lihua''s sight because she was too focused on trying to adjust her dress with a troubled expression on her face.


    But Liu Huiling saw Liu Dongmei and Chen Lihua''s friends exchange several glances, so she asked herself, ''What are they up to?''


    Actually, she was wrong, it would have been, ''What have they planned,'' instead of ''what are they up to?''


    So when they were in the car, Liu Huiling whispered to Liu Dongmei''s ear. "What are you ladies up to?"


    But Liu Dongmei gave a mysterious smile and answered while glancing at Chen Lihua, who was sitting with a closed fist on her chin.


    "Wait and see."


    Then several minutes later, Chen Lihua saw herself in the club.

 Chapter 246 - Does it hurt the first time?.

    But Liu Dongmei gave a mysterious smile and answered while glancing at Chen Lihua, who was sitting with a closed fist on her chin.


    "Wait and see."


    Then several minutes later, Chen Lihua saw herself in the club.


    She could see so many young people drinking and dancing to the loud music being played.


    She couldn''t help but look around while walking with her sisters-in-law and friends, because it has been a really while since she saw herself in this kind of scenario.


    Liu Dongmei directed them to sit at one corner of the clubhouse.


    Actually, they climbed the stairs in other for them to get there.


    Chen Lihua squinted her eyes as they bright coloured light pierced through her pupils. So she had no choice than to shield her eyes with her arm.


    "Am so sorry Lihua, I totally forgot about your eyes," Liu Dongmei said apologetically.


    "Should we go back? Because nothing must happen to her sight because she needs them tomorrow," Caro suggested.


    "It''s ok. I think I can manage for not more than a minute," Chen Lihua said as she allowed Liu Huiling to pull her to a seat.


    Angel was already smiling happily until Chen Lihua finished her sentence.


    "I thought you would say something like an hour or so, but here you are, breaking my heart," Angel snorted.


    "The time you just mentioned can only come true if and only if the lights could just stay at a place, and not be so bright. But no, they are busy moving about. Am sorry to break your heart, but I can''t put my sight at risk at this moment, just so you could have fun," Chen Lihua said while still shielding her eyes.


    "It''s alright. Don''t worry, I will take care of it," Liu Dongmei said before calling one of the attendants. She said something to him once he arrived, then the attendant nodded respectfully and left.


    "Oh! I think I have sunglasses in my bag," One of them said as she fumbled through her bag.


    Within a minute, Chen Lihua had sunglasses over the eyes, and she seemed to have relaxed a lot.


    "Don''t you think it''s weird to put on sunglasses in a night club?" Jennifer whispered to Angel, who, in turn, asked her with a smile.


    "Do you want to go home?"


    Jennifer shook her head as she shrunk her shoulders.


    ''Who wants to abandon all the fun here to go home?'' Jennifer said to herself.


    What Angle meant is simple. If Chen Lihua didn''t have those sunglasses over her eyes, she would have still been whining in their ears now, while complaining about her eyes.


    And since they wouldn''t put her sight at risk, they would eventually go home without having fun.


    After about five minutes, the light around where they were sitting, became still. It was no longer twirling like a siren bulb, and drinks were served to them. But still, Chen Lihua refused to put the sunglasses away.


    She seemed so relaxed and comfortable in it, and so was her entourage who were happy that they wouldn''t be going home soon.


    But unfortunately, their joy was cut short as the unexpected happened.


    "Lihua, which question did you want to ask back at the bridal shower?" One of them brought up this question as they drank some c.o.c.ktails and beer.


    "That''s right, we noticed you were nervous. So, you can go ahead and ask your questions," Angle said.


    Chen Lihua took a sip of her c.o.c.ktail ???? before dropping the glass. Then she made sure to swallow the content in her mouth before speaking.


    "I easily get embarrassed, but do not laugh at me. In fact, no one is allowed to laugh at me," Chen Lihua said while giving each of them a glancing, trying to get their assurance.


    And all of them nodded, which meant that they agreed, as they seemed to understand her.


    Chen Lihua cleared her throat before saying quickly in French, "How frequent should a couple have s.e.x?"


    Not everyone could hear and understand French, coupled with how fast she spoke.


    But Liu Dongmei was the first to come back to her senses as she answered, "Maybe four to five times a week."


    "You can have s.e.x any time you two want, you do not have to go with a timetable," Liu Huiling answered.


    Chen Lihua''s friends seemed to understand her questions from Liu Huiling''s answer but dare not to laugh. Instead, they paid keen attention to the conversation.


    "I heard that s.e.x drains energy. Isn''t four to five days a week, a little too much?" Chen Lihua asked with a slight frown on her face.


    Everyone looked at each other in the eyes before laughing.


    "Oh, Lihua, you should just look at your face in the mirror. Four to five days is the least you could go. Have you seen my brother''s body before?" Liu Dongmei asked while laughing.


    "Lily, your husband doesn''t look like he would have s.e.x with you less than four times a week. I mean, look how well built his body is," Caro said.


    "You know the way my brother works out. You should know what to expect from it," Liu Huiling said.


    "Lily, you have to prepare your body and mind for the battles you would be facing from tomorrow onwards," One of Chen Lihua''s friends said while giving her a thumbs up.


    Chen Lihua seemed to have lost contact with them because her mind was occupied with another matter.


    If not for Liu Huiling''s reminder, she would have forgotten about how well built Liu Longwei''s muscles were, and how strong he should be.


    And she forgot to note that most strong men had big appetites, and she was sure that Liu Longwei wouldn''t be lacking in that aspect.


    Chen Lihua shook her head to clear her thoughts, as she asked her second most important question.


    "Does it really hurt the first time?" Chen Lihua asked, more like whispered, completely forgetting the loud music that was playing.


    When she saw them looking at her without saying a word, she immediately understood, and so repeated her question. And this time around, increasing the tone of her voice.


    Liu Dongmei smiled and answered, "It hurts, but for a little bit."


    Chen Lihua is scared of being hurt, so when she heard that her first time would hurt a little, she frowned as her heartbeat increased.


    ''What will I do now that I''ve already promised Liu Longwei? Can I bear the pain?'' Chen Lihua asked herself.


    To Chen Lihua, pain is pain. There is nothing like a little pain or a big pain.

 Chapter 247 - Sister-in-law seems to be having a lot of fun.

    ''What will I do now that I''ve already promised Liu Longwei? Can I bear the pain?'' Chen Lihua asked herself.


    To Chen Lihua, pain is pain. There is nothing like a little pain or a big pain.


    Jennifer seemed to see through her worries, so she assured her, "It will just be a slight pain. But you can tell your husband to pause in between, so you can catch your breath before he continues thrusting in."


    Others laughed, but Chen Lihua said while blushing, "You are so spoilt," before sending a glare towards her.


    Jennifer stuck out her tongue and smiled.


    "Alright, it''s Showtime!" Liu Dongmei said while standing up with a big smile on her face.


    Just then, a man who seemed to be one of the attendants came over and whispered a few sentences to Liu Dongmei, who, in turn, smiled and said while gesturing to the man with her hand, "Bring them in."


    Chen Lihua was so distracted that she didn''t hear what the DJ announced, but the excited shouts from the crowd drew her attention.


    "It seems like there would be a big show here tonight," Chen Lihua said aloud without having any idea of what was in store for her.


    "Yes, there would be a huge show here tonight," Caro said mysteriously.


    "It''s time to dance," Angel said and removed the sunglasses off Chen Lihua''s eyes while helping her up.


    Chen Lihua wasn''t a good dancer, so she just stood there unmoving. So Angel had no option than to hold her hands while dancing. And in no distant time, Chen Lihua started moving her body.


    As for Liu Huiling, Liu Dongmei had to pull her up to dance.


    "I know you are the perfect model for a sister, wife, and mother, but you are here to have fun," Liu Dongmei reminded.


    While dancing and drinking, two handsome lads came over to them. They bowed their heads in greeting.


    Just then, loud music changed to a soft one. Immediately the music changed, Angel pushed Chen Lihua out to the front while saying to the handsome young lads, "She is the bride!"


    The handsome young lads smiled, as they both held each of Chen Lihua''s hands, before pulling her gently to a nearby pole.


    Chen Lihua was so confused that she had to look back at the ladies smiling at her.


    "Enjoy!!!" Liu Dongmei screamed excitedly.


    Within seconds, Chen Lihua saw the young lads surround her as they started dancing with their bodies touching hers from time to time.


    Chen Lihua had a bad premonition. And just then, her guess was made known. Because the handsome guys suddenly started pulling off their clothes, piece by piece.


    And the speed at which they did that was something Chen Lihua couldn''t tell.


    The only thing that Chen Lihua was seeing right now were two mature male a.d.u.l.ts that were almost n.a.k.e.d.


    Her eyes hovered around their bodies, till it got to a certain part that caused her to scream.


    "Ahhh! Get them away from me!"


    Who would listen to her screams? The rest just laughed hard at her before walking close to dance.


    Liu Huiling found the situation funny, but she refused to dance along with them, so she just sat on the sofa and watched them with crossed arms.


    "So, this is the secret?" She said to herself.


    I don''t think Chen Lihua has ever been in this type of situation before because she was almost screaming at the top of her lungs. She had been trying to get away from them since she found out that the handsome guys were strippers.


    "Girl, they won''t bite you. Just Dance," Jennifer said.


    Each time Chen Lihua tried to get away from them, they would block her way while rubbing their bodies against hers. So their actions made Chen Lihua stand in a place with her hands over her eyes.


    She was so scared of seeing those big looking things between their legs. And this made her start thinking if Liu Longwei''s own was that big as well.


    What would shock you was what happened next.


    Liu Longwei and his friends seemed to have come out from somewhere in the club while chattering.


    "You didn''t tell me that there would be strippers in the club today before dragging me here," Liu Longwei complained while staring at Wu Bohai.


    "Brother is sorry, it totally slipped my mind," Wu Bohai said with a fawning smile.


    "What''s wrong with it? It''s not like any of the strippers touched you. We are just out to drink and look around," Li Day said to Liu Longwei.


    "I just don''t want to be around these strippers," Liu Longwei said while brushing his shirt with his hand.


    "But you know you could have a lot of fun tonight because, after today, you might not get that chance again," Zhang Bingwen said with a smile.


    Liu Longwei glared at him before continuing to walk out.


    I don''t know how Liu Liwei''s eyes went upstairs, but he somehow managed to spot someone familiar. So he spoke in a surprised voice.


    "Brother, that person looks like sister-in-law."


    All of them, including Liu Longwei, paused in their steps before looking at the direction he was pointing at.


    "Wow! Sister-in-law seems to have a lot of fun," Wu Bohai said while laughing hard.


    It was more like he was teasing Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei frowned as Mu Boqin laughed hard at him.


    He was the same person that was angry and didn''t want any female strippers near him, but now, his bride was here having fun with male strippers.


    "Brother Boqin, don''t laugh so hard because my sister is there as well," Liu Liwei said with his gaze focused on his sister that was dancing close to one of the strippers.


    The smile on his face washed away as he stared at the woman he called his wife.


    She was the same person he spoke with an hour ago. She even told him that she was putting their daughter to sleep.


    He could very well see how she was putting their daughter to sleep on the dance floor.

 Chapter 248 - Caught red-handed.

    The smile on his face washed away as he stared at the woman he called his wife.


    She was the same person he spoke with an hour ago. She even told him that she was putting their daughter to sleep.


    He could very well see how she was putting their daughter to sleep on the dance floor.


    The look on Liu Longwei showed that he would not hesitate to kill anyone that messes with him at this time.


    The last straw that broke the camel''s back was that one of the strippers was now grinding his tool behind Chen Lihua''s back.


    And this caused Liu Longwei to storm off in long strides.


    Mu Boqin wasn''t left behind. His wife was busy dancing with strippers without shying away.


    ''Was she that horny?''


    "Get away from me," Chen Lihua screamed when the stripper ground his gun close to her ass.


    The stripper put some distance between her. And when Chen Lihua thought she was free, the second stripper came back to her, after exchanging places with the other one.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes went straight to their apparent ass, and she found out that their asses were rounded and well-shaped.


    So when she discovered her dirty thought, she covered her eyes with frightening speed and peeped between her fingers after a few seconds.


    Liu Longwei really caught her on this one act.


    ''Hasn''t she looked enough?''


    Liu Huiling was the first to see Liu Longwei and his entourage. Her heart skipped a beat out of fear, so she quickly stood to her feet while glancing between the people that were having fun, and him.


    She didn''t know how to alert them of the danger they were in, because it was useless.


    There is no how she could call out to them without Liu Longwei noticing.


    So she could only helplessly watch Liu Longwei stand before her.


    The glare Liu Longwei sent to her, made her know that he was angry, and that anger wasn''t redeemable.


    Liu Longwei was surprised to see Liu Huiling, but he didn''t let that emotion show on his face.


    With Liu Huiling''s personality, he didn''t think that she would come out here with them.


    Just when he thought that he had only Liu Dongmei to deal with, he didn''t know that more shocking surprise awaited him. Now, he had three women to deal with.


    When Liu Dongmei turned to call out to her sister, Liu Huiling, to come and join in the fun, she saw the unexpected.


    She saw her two brothers, her husband, and his friends. Her older brother was currently exchanging death glances with his sister, and the look on his face showed that he would turn the club upside down if care was not taken.


    Just when she moved her eyes away from him, her eyes clashed with her husband, Mu Boqin, who was currently staring at her and fuming mad.


    ''Oh, Crap!'' Liu Dongmei screamed in her mind.


    Seeing her frozen, Jennifer, who was dancing seductively close to her, paused in her actions as well. She gently nudged her shoulders with hers.


    "What''s wrong?" Jennifer asked.


    She was happy to meet a crazy dancer like herself. So when Liu Dongmei stopped dancing, it was natural that she would want to know the reason.


    "I am finished!" That''s all Jennifer could hear from Liu Dongmei. As for the rest of her words, it was swallowed up by the blasting music.


    So Jennifer had to follow her sight until she met Liu Longwei and his group. And it was then that it dawned on her that they were likely to be in danger.


    Liu Dongmei and Jennifer glanced at the rest before staring at Chen Lihua, whose hand was now placed on one of the stripper''s chest.


    Actually, the stripper took her (Chen Lihua) hand and placed it on his rock hard chest, while moving it in a circular motion.


    The unfortunate part was that she couldn''t get her hands off, no matter how hard she tried.


    The stripper thought Chen Lihua was shy, which she actually was, and so became interested in making her proactive, not knowing that he was putting her in more danger.


    Liu Dongmei wished that the ground would just open up at this moment and swallow her because Liu Longwei''s sight had just moved from Liu Huiling to them, more especially, to Chen Lihua.


    ''If I stay here, I will get killed, so I had better find my way,'' Liu Dongmei thought to herself.


    She hadn''t even taken a step when her hand was clasped in the strong palm.


    She didn''t need a soothsayer to tell her that she had been caught.


    "Hubby, you are here?" Liu Dongmei asked sheepishly, trying to use her smile to ravage the situation, that''s if, at all, it was possible.


    "No, I am not here," Mu Boqin answered through gritted teeth.


    As for Chen Lihua, she was the only one who hadn''t detected that things were not right.


    As for the others, all of them were beyond shocked, and so had to shut their mouths.


    Chen Lihua suddenly felt that the situation wasn''t right, as she was no longer hearing shouts of excitement close to her. So, she removed her other palm from her face, only to see Liu Longwei, staring hard at her.


    ''When did he get here?'' She asked herself in shock.


    ''Tsk...tsk...tsk. Chen Lihua, it seems like you have guts. Is that the right thing to be thinking of at this point?''


    Chen Lihua gave all of them glances. She could see that Liu Longwei''s friends all had smiles on their faces apart from Mu Boqin, who was staring angrily at his wife, while the remaining female counterparts looked like frightened rabbits.


    Chen Lihua took a glance at Liu Longwei and followed his eyes to her palm that was currently placed on another man''s chest.


    So she used force and speed to get her hands off.


    Chen Lihua wanted to cry. She had been trying to take her hand back but to no avail. But now that she had been caught red-handed, it came off without a struggle.


    ''What has this hand been doing all this while? Was it trying to tell Longwei that I had the opportunity and choice to get my hand away, but I still left it there because I wanted to?''

 Chapter 249 - You still look angry, are you going to call off...

    Chen Lihua wanted to cry. She had been trying to take her hand back but to no avail. But now that she had been caught red-handed, it came off without a struggle.


    ''What has this hand been doing all this while? Was it trying to tell Longwei that I had the opportunity and choice to get my hand away, but I still left it there because I wanted to?''


    Liu Longwei and Mu Boqin each held their women''s hand while dragging them outside.


    When Mu Boqin got to one of the cars they came with, he began to reprimand Liu Dongmei.


    "What is wrong with you? If you were that horny, you should have told me, so that I will come and take care of it. Why did you have to go and meet those strippers? Are they better than me? Or are their tools bigger than mine?"


    Liu Dongmei bowed her head while shaking her head negatively to all the questions Mu Boqin asked.


    Seeing her give the answers he wanted to hear, the bitterness in Mu Boqin''s heart reduced tremendously.


    "Then what are you doing here?" He asked.


    Liu Dongmei raised her head. "I just wanted to have fun."


    "You just wanted to have fun, and then you took sister-in-law with you?" Mu Boqin asked, feeling upset.


    (The sister-in-law being referred to here, Is Chen Lihua)


    Liu Dongmei nodded speechlessly.


    Mu Boqin was so angry that he didn''t know whether to spank her ass right there.


    "Do you know that Longwei is sending you out of the country for a project that will clock up to months? Which punishment do you think he would give you this time?" Mu Boqin asked.


    Liu Dongmei looked shocked at hearing the breaking news. "What?! When did this happen? How come I didn''t know about it?"


    Mu Boqin sighed and began to recount the ordeal, when, why, and how it happened.


    Liu Dongmei stood in shock and listened on.


    Mu Boqin sighed as he held her shoulders.


    "I promise that I will satisfy you to the fullest tomorrow night, so just go back, and wait obediently for me."


    "Oh!" Liu Dongmei exclaimed softly.


    As for Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua, their matter was a different case.


    When Liu Longwei tried sending her inside her car, Chen Lihua refused to concede and instead turned around to hold his arm with a look of desperation.


    "Longwei, listen to me, everything you saw


    was a misunderstanding, let me explain what happened!"


    "Get into the car first," Liu Longwei said authoritatively.


    "Are you angry? Please don''t be angry, and allow me to talk," Chen Lihua pleaded while resisting his actions.


    "I am angry, but not at you, particularly because you are not the only one at fault here. Now that I have answered your question, can you please get into the car?" Liu Longwei asked precipitously.


    Chen Lihua didn''t dare to relax her nerves, so she voiced out this question, without having a second thought.


    "You still look angry, are you going to call off the wedding?"


    At this question, it seemed that time stopped, hoping that this moment never happened, and afraid of what was to come. But since it has happened already, let it pass quickly.


    Chen Lihua''s friends looked astonished at her question, and they began to wonder if something was wrong with her.


    Even Liu Dongmei stared at her in disbelief and began to wonder if she really had a high IQ.


    ''Is this the right time to bring up this kind of question?'' Liu Huiling asked herself before heaving a deep sigh.


    As for Liu Longwei''s friends, they were also in total shock, but none of them dared to utter a word.


    Liu Longwei was dumbfounded for a while, trying to let Chen Lihua''s ridiculous question sink in, before he said, "Were you hoping that I would call off the wedding. Dream on!"


    And immediately, Liu Longwei took advantage of her silence to gently push her into the car.


    He then shut the car door, before stumping off, furiously.


    Chen Lihua was silent until she got home.


    Her friends and sisters-in-law all came to pacify her before going off to the various rooms assigned to them.


    "Sleep early," They said to her before parting ways with her in the living room.


    While taking the elevator up to her room floor, Chen Lihua was lost in thought. And there was no way she could go to sleep with so many thoughts going through her mind.


    So she freshened up before calling her mom on the phone.


    It took a while before Lady Chen answered the call because she was still quite busy giving out instructions for the wedding preparations.


    "Hello, mom," Chen Lihua greeted.


    "Hello, dear, how are you doing?" Lady Chen asked.


    "Am fine," Chen Lihua answered half-heartedly.


    "But your voice tells me otherwise. Why are you still awake by this time, can''t sleep?" Lady Chen asked with a tinge of worry in her voice.


    "Mum, are you busy? Can I talk to you now?" Chen Lihua asked urgently.


    "Of course, my dear, go ahead," Lady Chen said as she sat at a place with rapt attention.


    Then, Chen Lihua went straight to the point to explain everything that happened that evening.


    After explaining, Chen Lihua asked, "Mum, what should I do now? I think Longwei is very angry with me."


    Lady Chen smiled, "Then apologize to him. If you feel that you did something wrong, and your husband is angry with you, then apologize to him, and the matter will be settled."


    "Mum, you are a genius. Why didn''t I think about it before now? I just discovered that I didn''t even utter a word of apology. Am sure Longwei must be disappointed. Mum, thank you so much," Chen Lihua said as she cheered up.


    "You don''t have to thank me. I am only teaching you, so you won''t make the same mistakes I made," Lady Chen said regretfully.


    Chen Lihua understood that there was a hidden meaning in her mother''s words. So she asked about it because if she didn''t find out now, she might become too busy and preoccupied with so many things, that she will not remember to ask again.

 Chapter 250 - Would you let your Dad, walk you down the aisle?.

    "Mum, can you tell me a little about you and dad''s relationship, why does he always hit you when you two argue?"


    Lady Chen sighed and began to speak.


    "The physical abuse is both our faults. Sometimes, when we don''t agree with certain things, we start to argue and give each other our points. I am someone that doesn''t like being controlled by other people, including your father. So when I feel like he is trying to cage me, I start arguing with him, and because of my stubbornness, I tend to talk to him without respect. And him being hot-tempered, could not tolerate it, and will end up hitting me."


    What Lady Chen said is the absolute truth. Both of them (Lady Chen and Chen K) are at fault.


    One had anger issues, why the other one doesn''t like being controlled by others.


    One thing about Chen K is that he is too possessive of everything that belongs to him.


    He was the reason Lady Chen quit her acting career. When they were dating, he didn''t mention anything he didn''t like to Chen Ju Ju, and for her to stop doing them. So that was one of their problems.


    Imagine after getting married, then your partner tells you to quit your job because he didn''t like it, and he didn''t tell you about it before you two got married. No woman would take it likely.


    So that was what happened with Lady Chen''s marriage. She got into a lot of serious arguments with her husband back then, till she quit her acting career.


    What was the reason Chen K asked her to quit her job?


    It''s because he didn''t want to see his woman getting intimate with another man.


    There were so many other reasons for their arguments, and another one is this.


    Chen K liked to pick the outfits for Lady Chen whenever he was around. He does not even care about what Lady Chen actually wanted, so he was always imposing his choices on her, which was very wrong.


    And because Lady Chen was stubborn and wanted things her own way, they got into an argument. When she saw that her words couldn''t get him to change his mind, she decided to spew some annoying words, thereby provoking him.


    The thing here is that, if Lady Chen never said some provoking words to him, Chen K would never lay his hands on her. But if Lady Chen continued to allow him to have his way all the time, her whole life would be controlled, and she might never have her freedom ever again.


    When Chen Lihua heard all these, she was speechless for a while.


    "Mum, I can''t believe that the matter between you and Dad was this simple. I don''t even know whom to support any more. I used to hate him so much because he was a woman beater, imagine hitting you sometimes in my presence, or absence, I don''t like and support it in any way. Is it now you that it''s so strong-headed and always asking for a beat? I don''t even know what to say to you."


    Chen Lihua was indeed confused. She hated men that beat their wives, even their hitting their sisters and mothers, so her dad wasn''t an exception. But what can she say about wives that do not respect their husbands? She didn''t support that as well.


    As for her dad hitting his sister, Aunt Lin, she doesn''t even care or feels terrible about it.


    In fact, she felt that Aunt Lin deserved the hits she got from her dad because she (Aunt Lin) is a trouble maker. She was always going about, causing trouble.


    She wondered if she had any other talent apart from causing trouble.


    Sometimes, she too wants to hit, but there''s no way she would hit her family elder, so she just let her be.


    At least with this new understanding today, the hatred Chen Lihua had for her father reduced a bit.


    Sometimes, her mother would annoy her that she wouldn''t know how to retaliate, and she had seen her mother argue with some people on some occasions. Therefore she knew her mother''s words were really provoking.


    She remembered once witnessing a woman splashed a glass of water on her mother after getting into an argument with her at a restaurant. She had happened to see that because she went to the restaurant with her mother back then.


    "Lihua dear, don''t hate your father anymore. We were both at fault for whatever happened back then," Lady Chen said. And after not hearing any response, she continued.


    "You have to forgive your dad. He was coming to the states to apologize to you and bond with you a little when that accident happened." Lady Chen revealed.


    Chen Lihua almost became teary when she learned the truth. So she forced herself to stay calm.


    She thought, ''So I caused his death?''


    Lady Chen seemed to have seen through what she thought, so she said immediately, "Hua''er, don''t think too much about what I just said, you didn''t cause his death. I just want you to forgive him, and allow all the bitterness you have in your heart for him to wash away. In a few hours, you would be standing at the altar, so I want you to stand at the altar without any resentment for him in your heart."


    Chen Lihua was sniffing by now, but she managed to hum, "Mmmmm."


    "Sweetheart, don''t cry. But does it mean that you have forgiven him?" Lady Chen''s eyes shone brightly as she asked while trying to hide the little excitement in her voice.


    "Not really, but I don''t hate him like that anymore. But it doesn''t mean that I won''t vent some of my anger on him if the opportunity was still there." Chen Lihua said.


    "Ok. With what you just said, does it mean that if your father was alive, you would allow him to walk you down the aisle?" Lady Chen asked as she stood up from the sofa and began to walk around nervously.


    "Why the sudden question?" Chen Lihua asked in confusion, without sensing anything amiss.


    "Just answer the question," Lady Chen retorted impatiently.


    Chen Lihua pulled her phone away from her ear to view the caller ID. And when she confirmed it, she placed the phone back on her left ear, before giving a vague reply, "Maybe."


    "That''s good!" Lady Chen almost shouted excitedly.


    "Don''t forget to call Longwei and apologize to him. I''ve got so many things to do, see you tomorrow, bye," Lady Chen said and terminated the call without waiting for another response from Chen Lihua.


    "Mom....," was the last thing Chen Lihua managed to say before the call ended

 Chapter 251 - Wedding Day I: Getting ready

    "Mom....," was the last thing Chen Lihua managed to say before the call ended.


    She wanted to ask, ''Mom, you would walk me down the aisle tomorrow, right?'' But too bad that Lady Chen ended the call before her question could come through.


    "Why is she in such a hurry? Chen Lihua muttered under her breath while looking at the dark screen of her phone.


    Then she remembered that she still had to call Liu Longwei, so she left her room and went into his room to stay for the night.


    Immediately she pushed the door open to his room, his scent filled her nostrils. And this brought a smile to her face. She missed him terribly.


    She lay on his bed and sniffed in his lingering scent that was left on the bedsheets. And when she felt that she had smelled enough of his scent, her mind became relaxed as she dialed his number.


    Liu Longwei, who was currently in the bedroom fiddling with their wedding ring box, immediately picked up his phone when he heard it ring.


    Well, it seemed like he hadn''t opened the ring box yet.


    "Hello!" His voice came through to the other end.


    From his voice, Chen Lihua could tell that it wasn''t as heavy as it was back at the clubhouse. So she relaxed a bit.


    "Longwei, I''m sorry for what happened today at the club, I promise that I won''t dance with strippers again," Chen Lihua said straight to the point, without going in a roundabout manner.


    "Hmmm. I''m not angry with you anymore," Liu Longwei answered with a little smile on his lips.


    "Really?" Chen Lihua asked with a smile.


    "Really," Liu Longwei assured her as he opened the ring box, only to see two simple lovely wedding rings lying in there.


    So with a smile hovering all over his face, he picked up one of the rings, which happened to be his own and fiddled it between his fingers playfully while looking keenly at it.


    Chen Lihua smiled before saying, "Thank you. What are you doing now?"


    "Looking at our wedding rings," Liu Longwei replied.


    "How do you see them?"


    "Although they are beautiful and simple-looking, I know that they are quite expensive," Liu Longwei replied.


    "Thanks for the compliment," Chen Lihua said.


    "Mmmm! You''re welcome. You should go to bed now, it''s pretty late. Good night," Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Good night," Chen Lihua replied back before laying her head back on the bed with a peaceful smile on her face.


    After staring at the rings, he made calls to confirm the security checks for tomorrow, before going to sleep.


    As for Chen Lihua, instead of her to sleep immediately, she became lost in thought. And somehow, she started to recall what happened at the clubhouse.


    And before you know it, dirty thought and images started going through her mind, like the butts of the strippers she saw and the huge bulge between their legs.


    The strippers'' butts were bare, and the only part of their body that was covered were their tools.


    Now, Chen Lihua started to wonder what if Longwei was the stripper and clothed in the same manner.


    "Ahhh!!!" Chen Lihua screamed and covered her head with the pillow at her dirty thoughts.


    Then, she checked the time and saw that it was 10 minutes past 10 (10:10 pm), so she decided that it was time to go to sleep.


    The next morning.


    Chen Lihua''s sisters-in-law and friends were really stressed by looking for her.


    They couldn''t find her in her bedroom, so they began to panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she came out of Liu Longwei''s room herself.


    So, they immediately pulled her hands while walking. "We have been searching all over the house for you, we thought you had been kidnapped, or maybe you ran away," Liu Dongmei said.


    Chen Lihua smiled, "Oh! Am sorry about that. I slept in Longwei''s room last night."


    Liu Dongmei still wanted to tease her with a few words, but this was not the right time for it.


    "You have 30 minutes to yourself, so you could maybe do some stretches, yoga, and then freshen up. The hairstylists and makeup artists are close by," Liu Huiling announced from the side.


    "Wow! What about the kids?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Don''t worry, your cousin is bringing them. They are on their way already," Liu Dongmei assured her.


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding before going into her bedroom to do some stretches and simple yoga meditation, before running off to the bathroom to wash up.


    Chen Lihua chose some little children from the orphanage that her mother ran, to be part of her flower girls.


    As for Chen Lihua''s friends, they''ve been searching all over the house for her, Liu Huiling informed them that she had been found. So they breathed a sigh of relief before continuing with their work.


    After they had all finished washing up, they had a simple breakfast before the main work began.


    As for Chen Lihua, she was too nervous about the wedding to be hungry. So after some chiding by her friends and sisters-in-law, she managed to take some fruits and eat a slice of bread.


    After breakfast, work began.


    Chen Lihua was sitting in front of a dresser in the room her wedding gown was kept.


    Her hair was first worked on for an hour, by the famous hairstylist.


    The reason her hair was first started was to give enough time to get things right, and make any tweaks or changes from the trial run, according to her hairstylist.


    Chen Lihua''s makeup took 50 minutes to be perfected, and this time depended on the kind of makeup Chen Lihua chose.


    The Bridesmaid''s hair took 20-30 minutes per person, while their makeup took 30-45 minutes per person.


    As money was not a problem here, ten proficient makeup artists and ten proficient hairstylists were employed to make this come through.


    They got Chen Lihua, her bridesmaids, and every other people in the house ready for a wedding.


    The photographer and the videographer arrived one hour before Chen Lihua''s hairstyling started. So he was able to capture the latter portion of the makeup and hairstyling.


    The best time for this was when Chen Lihua styling was closer to being finished, therefore making more flattering photos. And it also gave the photographer more than enough time to capture the details - bridal dress, bridesmaid''s dresses, flower girls dresses, shoes jewelry.


    But more time was spent on capturing the bridal items because Chen Lihua was the queen of the day.

 Chapter 252 - Wedding Day II: Engravings on the wedding shoes.

    The best time for this was when Chen Lihua styling was closer to being finished, therefore making more flattering photos. And it also gave the photographer more than enough time to capture the details - bridal dress, bridesmaid''s dresses, flower girls dresses, shoes jewelry.


    But more time was spent on capturing the bridal items because Chen Lihua was the queen of the day.


    While the hustle and bustle in the room were ongoing, emotional interactions between the bride, her bridesmaids, and relatives weren''t left out.


    The little girls from the orphanage had already arrived with One of Chen Lihua''s female cousins.


    And immediately they arrived, their hair and makeup were done, and they were immediately clothed.


    Little Cherry (Huiling''s first daughter) and Anna (Liu Dongmei''s daughter) were part of the flower girls, while Little Apple (Liu Huiling''s second daughter) was the little bride. So they three pretty little girls also got dressed in their uniforms.


    While Chen Lihua was still being made up, Liu Dongmei spoke on the phone for a few minutes before passing it to Chen Lihua.


    "It is a mother."


    Chen Lihua nodded and took the phone before saying into the phone with a happy smile plastered on her face, "Mother..."


    The two spoke for a few minutes, and Chen Lihua had a smile throughout their conversation. Chen Lihua seemed to be very happy.


    When Chen Lihua was done with her makeup, Lady Chen called, and she spoke with her for a while.


    Then after the call, she took a selfie before touching a few places on her phone screen. It seems like her mother asked her to send a picture of her looks to her.


    After some time, Chen Lihua was done with her makeup and hair. It was now time for her to get into her wedding dress, which Delmas Andrien''s female underlings assisted her with.


    And after she was dressed in her 1000 Swarovski crystallized wedding gown, her veil was personally secured by Delmas.


    Liu Huiling brought her shoes for her, and when Chen Lihua tried taking it from her, Liu Huiling withheld it. Then with a smile plastered on her face, she turned the shoes so that the red soles were now facing Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua saw some engravings on them, and so felt surprised as she asked her to bring the shoes closer, so she could take a closer look at it.


    When the shoe was brought closer to her, Chen Lihua was now able to have a better look at the engravings.


    It read, ''My beloved wife, Mrs. Liu,'' on the right shoe, while the left shoe had their Wedding date on it, ''**, Sept, 20**''.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she read the words aloud before turning to say, "I can''t believe we thought of the same thing."


    "You wrote something on his shoe as well?" Liu Dongmei asked with brightly lit eyes.


    Chen Lihua nodded in response.


    Liu Dongmei gave her a thumbs up ????.


    Meanwhile, Liu Longwei was on the other side, looking at the inscriptions Chen Lihua carved at the bottom of his shoes and on his handkerchief.


    ''My darling Husband, Mr. Liu'' was written on the left foot, while, their wedding date was carved on the right shoe.


    As for the handkerchief, it contained some short, sweet words, with a red love emoji imprinted on it.


    Liu Longwei''s friends made funny noises as they teased him. As for Liu Liwei, his best man, he was fixing his cufflinks and looking ready to charm the ladies.


    Liu Longwei had a brilliant smile on his face as he revealed to them, "She engraved our initials on the wedding rings. Do you know the unexpected thing?"


    All of them shook their head in a negative affirmation while waiting expectantly for his response.


    But unfortunately for them, Liu Longwei spat these words out, "Find out yourself," and watched them groan in the grievance.


    Delmas urges Chen Lihua to put her shoes on, after snatching it from her hands.


    "We don''t have a lot of time on our side. When you meet your husband, you can get emotionally all you want," Delmas said.


    After helping her with her shoes, he picked up her crown and secured it on her head.


    The only jewelry Chen Lihua had on her were her simple but very expensive diamond-studded earrings.


    Chen Lihua looked absolutely breath-taking in that dress. She looked like a queen, about to ascend her throne.


    As she took her first step in her shoes, she felt as if she was floating in the clouds. The cameras rolled as she took light steps. Her friends and family were happy for her as they cheered her on.


    As Chen Lihua made an attempt to step outside of the room, her phone made a ''ding'' sound, which signified that she just received an SMS. So she opened it immediately.


    The message was from Liu Longwei, and the content of the message made her blush.


    And when she was asked, what happened, she only revealed that the message was from Liu Longwei and nothing more.


    Angel, as the Chief bridesmaid, helped her put her phone in her wedding clutch, and carried it for her. While Angel handed her a white feathered hand fan.


    And with graceful steps, Chen Lihua left the room with her entourage.


    Next in line was the pre-ceremony photos of the bride with her bridal train. While Liu Longwei, the groom, also took pictures with his entourage, before leaving for the church in high definition.


    Chen Lihua felt so happy while taking pictures with her bouquet of imported expensive red roses. Sometimes, she pouted her lips that was shaded with red lipstick, while posing for the camera.


    Since she has a lot of experience in modeling, it was easy for her to strike elegant poses, and look good on camera, so the pictures came out fine.


    But when it was time to leave for the church, she became so nervous that her heart skipped a beat.


    She sat at the back passenger seat of the Karlmann King, with a chauffeur and a bodyguard in front.


    Angel was supposed to sit with her, but Delmas complained that he was the wedding dress designer, and so he should sit with Chen Lihua in case the dress had a problem.


    What kind of silly excuse is that? ????????

 Chapter 253 - Wedding Day III: Walking Down The Aisle.

    But that excuse kind of worked against him.


    Chen Lihua was not in the mood for any disturbance, as she was already feeling very nervous. So she gave the bodyguard who opened the car door for her a sign with her eyes to shut the car door immediately.


    So, case closed, matter, settled.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei left for the church in convoys. The security drones were released today, so they could be seen hovering around the cars, but not too far away from them.


    As for their houses (Chen and Liu), they were heavily guarded.


    Even the church and reception venue was heavily guarded, with a helicopter hovering above the rooftop of each building.


    Liu Longwei was indeed, very meticulous with the security, as he didn''t want even a little mishap to take place.


    He did all this planning not because of the enemies he had, but also because of other enemies that would come for any other guests, or family at his wedding.


    He didn''t want negative breaking news on his wedding day, so he had to tread with caution.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei didn''t leave for the church at the same time. Liu Longwei and his groomsmen arrived an hour before the ceremony, while Chen Lihua and her bridesmaids arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony.


    When Chen Lihua learned that she would be arriving at the church 30 minutes before the ceremony, and Liu Longwei would arrive an hour before the ceremony, she started to panic.


    "Why do we have to arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony? Are you sure 30 minutes is enough time? What if we are late?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Caro who was not part of the bridesmaids smiled and explained patiently, "We want to make sure you are hidden before your guests start to arrive, so they won''t get an early peek at the gown."


    "Relax baby girl, no wedding will start or take place without you, besides you''re the bride," Angel said.


    "Sister-in-law, you don''t need to panic. If something crops up on the road, which is impossible because my brother had made earlier arrangements for the route to the church. But the helicopter will take you to the church if there will be any unforeseen circ.u.mstances," Liu Dongmei explained confidently.


    With all these explanations, Chen Lihua was able to calm down.


    When Chen Lihua arrived at the church, she sat in the car (Karlmann King) to wait for the time she would walk down the aisle since she didn''t opt for taking more photos in the church.


    While waiting for time, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei spoke on the phone with each other for five minutes. They were too happy that they became short of words.


    Ten minutes to the time she would walk down the aisle, she was helped out of the car. By then, everyone was already waiting in the church for her arrival.


    "Where is my mother? Why is she not here yet?" Chen Lihua asked nervously with a tinge of anger mixed with worry in her voice.


    Only ten minutes were left for her to walk down the aisle, and her mother was nowhere to be found, so she had every reason to throw a fit.


    "She will be here soon," Her cousin said while trying to calm her down.


    Just then, Lady Chen walked over, with a man behind her.


    "Is my Baby looking for me?" Lady Chen asked with a big smile on her face as she walked gracefully in her exquisite outfit. But then she paused, as her mouth was agape before she hurriedly walked closer to stand in front of Chen Lihua.


    "You look gorgeous daughter, and your dress is beautiful, you look stunning in it. Let''s take a quick selfie," Lady Chen said, as she went to stand beside her, and raising her phone to take a picture.


    "Mum, are you serious now, is the right time for this?" Chen Lihua asked with a slight frown on her face. She was a little annoyed at the situation.


    "Give me a smile, and we''ll be done in five seconds," Lady Chen said while looking into the camera.


    Chen Lihua, then obeyed her immediately, while having a smile of pretense on her face.


    "Done! Lihua, this is Mr. Gu, he is your father''s best friend and one of his business partners, and he has always been like a father figure to you in the shadows, even though you do not know the detail, but he will be the one to walk you down the aisle," Lady Chen said while pointing at the man behind her.


    It now that Chen Lihua caught a good glimpse at the man.


    Earlier, her focus was on another thing, so she didn''t notice him.


    But now looking at him, she felt that he was familiar and that she had seen that face somewhere, but she couldn''t precisely point her fingers at it.


    When she was a teenager, she used to attend many social gatherings with her parents. So she had been introduced to many business partners on several occasions, which she can''t even remember any of their faces.


    Mr. Gu, said hello to Chen Lihua, and she responded, before dragging her mother off to talk in another corner.


    "Mum, why is he walking me down the aisle instead of you? I don''t even know him," Chen Lihua asked in annoyance.


    "Lihua dear, you don''t have a lot of time on your side now, you just have three minutes before you walk down the aisle. Are you sure you want to stand here and listen to my explanations? After the wedding, we will sit down and have a good talk," Lady Chen said while patting her daughter''s palm gently.


    Chen Lihua didn''t need to overthink what her mother said is true, she didn''t have enough time on her side.


    So, she quickly walked back to Mr. Gu, and gave him an apologetic smile, before hooking his arm, after he stretched out his right hand to her in a gentle smile.

 Chapter 254 - Wedding Day IV: Two Becoming One.

    So, she quickly walked back to Mr. Gu, and gave him an apologetic smile, before hooking his arm, after he stretched out his right hand to her in a gentle smile.


    While guests arrived at the church earlier, prelude music (Air on the G string by J. S. Bach) played.


    Airflow water music by George Frideric Handel played for sitting the elderly.


    Ode to Joy by Beethoven played during Liu Longwei''s match to the altar.


    Here comes the bride by Richard Wagner played for the Bridesmaid processional.


    Then when it was time for Chen Lihua to match in, two songs played one after the other.


    When ''wedding match'' played, Chen Lihua stood at the door with her hand linked in Mr. Gu''s arm. They only started walking down the aisle when the song, ''beautiful in white'' covered by Violin, Cello, Grand piano, and Saxophone.


    And everyone stood to welcome the bride.


    Chen Lihua had her eyes fixed on Liu Longwei while she walked down the aisle.


    She couldn''t hide the joy in her heart, as her face brimmed with all smiles.


    Liu Longwei had his eyes fixed on his beautiful bride, and so, couldn''t wait for her to stand close to him, so they could exchange their wedding rings, and say their vows.


    Liu Longwei wasn''t nervous like Chen Lihua was; instead, he stood proudly while awaiting his beloved bride.


    When Chen Lihua finally arrived at his side, she hugged Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu hugged her back. He exchanged a handshake with Liu Longwei, before going back to his seat, which was in the front row, alongside Lady Chen''s.


    While he was walking to his seat, Old Mr. Liu, had his eyes glued to him, but surprisingly, ''Mr. Gu'', didn''t avoid eye contact with him, instead, he bowed his head in greeting, before continuing in his steps.


    Meanwhile, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei took a few minutes to stare lovingly at each other during the ceremony.


    "You look gorgeous," Liu Longwei said softly to Chen Lihua and watched her blush under his gaze.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei exchanged their vows and then their wedding rings, and the song ''Two becoming one'' played immediately after their vows.


    After exchanging their wedding rings, the priest said, "I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride."


    There were cheers from every guest present in the church.


    This was a thing of happiness.


    Without wasting time, Liu Longwei lifted Chen Lihua''s veil with a happy smile on his face, as Chen Lihua had finally become his, before gently holding her face to give her a sweet and gentle short kiss.


    Chen Lihua blushed profusely after the kiss. She was so embarrassed that many people watched her and Liu Longwei kiss.


    There were quite many guests present in the church that there was no empty seat left for anyone. Though the number of guests present in the church was not up to a quarter of the number of guests invited to the wedding. So it was okay for Chen Lihua to be embarrassed.


    Seeing how embarrassed she was, Liu Longwei smiled as he hugged her while patting her back, rhythmically.


    Chen Lihua hugged him back, in a pleasant smile.


    This was a magnificent scenery to be seen. Such a romantic and heartfelt song played, as the two people in love got lost staring at each other''s eyes as if they were making another wish to themselves with their eyes.


    The ceremony was spectacular, as the live orchestra played many wedding songs.


    After the ceremony, postlude music, Brandenburg concerto No 3 by J. S. Bach played.


    After the ceremony, the guests left for the reception venue to wait for the bride and groom.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei took several minutes to take pictures with their families, with each photo, taking about three minutes per shot.


    And then enough time was allocated for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei to take pictures together since they didn''t have a first look (they didn''t see each other before the ceremony).


    Photos of very large groups like classmates, co-workers, and large extended families, were saved for the reception.


    While this part was going on, the guests were already being entertained at the reception venue.


    The section that was going on was the c.o.c.ktail hour. So guests chose to walk around and interact with the people they were familiar with, as the live orchestra played them a song.


    Since the ceremony didn''t last for a long time, there was no need for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei to rest, so they immediately went to their reception venue, to proceed with the next item.


    There was a pause during the c.o.c.ktail hour, for the guests to welcome Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    A soft, but not slow music played in the background, as the lights dimmed, except for the ones at the stage.


    The striking aspect about the entrance was that they literally walked out from what looked like a painting of rose flower petals, and the guests greatly marveled at the scene.


    Hand in hand, Chen Lihua, and Liu Longwei walked out with happy smiles on their faces as they waved to their guests with their other free hands.


    The hall was now filled with joyful noise, as everybody was happy about seeing the bride and groom''s spectacular entrance.


    During the c.o.c.ktail hour, the MC made an announcement to gather everyone, so that helped, taking photos much faster.


    You may be wondering why the wedding ceremony was so perfect, and everything was going on so well.


    And that is because every little detail about this ceremony had long been taken care of, after thorough delegations, prior to this day.


    As for taking perfect shots within the span of three minutes per shot, and knowing the exact location for it, that was because the photographer scouted the ceremony (church) and reception venue since the first day he was employed.


    And the last time he scouted the reception venue, was yesterday, so he could find the perfect area for perfect shots.


    He even took photos of Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei from a distance when they visited the venue yesterday to test his shots and to see if they were perfect.

 Chapter 255 - Wedding Day V: Both Exes Present At The Wedding.

    When it was time for Chen Lihua to take group photos with her foreign friends, she met George, who was her ex.


    George came from a British family. Actually, his father is British, while his mother, an American. But he basically grew up in America with his mom after she separated from his father.


    Chen Lihua and George gazed right into each other''s eyes. But George was the first to smile as he walked towards her.


    He greeted her in a British manner, which was to kiss both sides of her cheeks.


    It is only when you meet friends, whom you haven''t seen for a long time that you would kiss the cheek of the opposite s.e.x. In Britain, one kiss is generally enough. But George chose to make it two, at of his own will.


    Chen Lihua silently prayed in her heart that Liu Longwei didn''t see what just happened. But how? Could her prayers be answered when it was already too late?


    Liu Longwei just took his eyes off his wife for two minutes. And before he could look back at her, her cheeks were already being kissed by a British guy.


    Liu Longwei immediately put down the c.o.c.ktail he just picked from a passing waiter back on the tray, before walking back to stand beside Chen Lihua.


    As for Chen Lihua, she really wanted the ground to open that moment and swallow her whole, not minding that her wedding reception was still ongoing.


    Too bad that her wish could only be answered only if she was in a fairytale. But since she was in the real world, she has got to deal with every situation she finds herself in.


    "How are you? I''ve missed you a whole lot," George asked with a sincere smile.


    The not so surprising thing about this was that Liu Longwei heard his words, ''clearly.''


    ''Oh! He even missed my wife, after kissing her cheeks when I haven''t done that yet?'' Liu Longwei thought to himself while trying to control himself from bursting out due to jealousy, as he was now finally standing beside Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua felt like knocking some sense into George.


    But she really shouldn''t blame him, that''s the etiquette and manners he grew up with.


    "Darling!" Liu Longwei called out to Chen Lihua, as the latter stared back and forth between the two tall and handsome men that we''re standing beside her.


    One was her ex, while the other is her husband. Both were wealthy and came from affluent families. They almost had the same thing in common, except for their genes.


    But this was not the right time to think about all these. ''First thing first,'' Chen Lihua said to herself.


    She quickly smiled as she immediately held Liu Longwei''s arm ???? and introduced the two outstanding men to themselves. "It''s good that you are here, meet my ex now turned friend, George, he is British. George, meet my husband, Longwei."


    Liu Longwei and George shook hands with smiles on their faces.


    After saying a few words of greetings to themselves, Liu Longwei turned to look back at his wife that had been staring at him since he came over to stand beside her.


    Maybe, she was checking to see if he was angry with her or not.


    Liu Longwei smiled at her before placing his palms on her cheeks while rubbing them gently. "Go ahead and take pictures with your friends, I''ll be standing right over there," Liu Longwei said while directing her to where he would be standing, with his face.


    Chen Lihua smiled while nodding.


    "Good girl," Liu Longwei whispered and left, after leaving pecks on her forehead and cheeks.


    "I smell jealousy," Jennifer said as she came to stand beside Chen Lihua.


    "Me too, there is no doubt about that," Angel confirmed.


    "What are you girls talking about?" Chen Lihua questioned in confusion.


    "I bet you didn''t even notice that he rubbed your cheeks," Caro said as she joined the conversation.


    Seeing Chen Lihua still confused, George decided to step to help clear her confusion.


    "I kissed your cheeks as a form of greeting. So your husband rubbed your cheeks before placing his kisses on them."


    "Yeah, I bet he was practically rubbing all traces of the kiss that was on your cheeks," Jennifer said.


    Their explanations made Chen Lihua recall what happened five minutes ago. Then she turned to look towards Liu Longwei with a look of surprise.


    Incidentally, Liu Longwei was also looking towards her direction, so their gazes locked.


    Liu Longwei threw his signature smile, and Chen Lihua looked away.


    ''What a jealous man!'' Chen Lihua thought.


    I bet if she would still think this way with what was to happen next.


    After snapping pictures with her friends, and was still in their midst, Jenifer nudged her arms gently as she asked softly.


    "Who is that woman over there, throwing herself at your husband?"


    Chen Lihua and her girlfriends, also turned around to take a look.


    Jennifer wasn''t lying, she was telling the truth. There was actually such a shameless woman.


    Just when Liu Longwei was about to pose for a picture with his friends, an ugly little frog hopped out from somewhere in the crowd and wanted to jump on his body.


    Unfortunately, Liu Longwei''s bodyguards were standing at close range as he was stopped the frog immediately, so she didn''t succeed in even touching his suit.


    "Longwei, tell them to let me go," The annoying toad cried out softly.


    Liu Longwei gave his bodyguards a sign with his eyes, and so they let her go.


    He had to release her because of the environment they were in. Had it been he didn''t let her go, she would surely cause a huge scene without thinking.


    Anyway, the annoying frog had a bird brain, so it wasn''t a new thing.


    At this point, while looking at this trouble maker, Liu Longwei regretted sending his wedding invitation to her family.


    But he had no choice; as the annoying frog''s father, was a business partner. So there no way he would send invites to the other business partners and leave him out just because his daughter might cause trouble at his wedding. Anyways he was capable of curtailing any problem she would create.


    "Longwei, I missed you," The frog said as she tried to through herself on him, but Wu Bohai immediately came to stand in front of Liu Longwei, thereby, coming in close proximity with her body.


    Chen Lihua looked at the scene that was happening some distance away from her and said through gritted teeth, "His ex."

 Chapter 256 - Wedding Day VI: First Dance.

    "Longwei, I missed you," The frog said as she tried to through herself on him, but Wu Bohai immediately came to stand in front of Liu Longwei, thereby, coming in close proximity with her body.


    Chen Lihua looked at the scene that was happening some distance away from her and said through gritted teeth, "His ex."


    "Whoa! This woman does have a lot of guts," Gigi said with a wry smile.


    "Who doesn''t know her? She is Zie Yu, I haven''t seen a woman more shameless like her!" Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.


    "Lihua, are going to watch her act like a snitch at your own party?" Another home friend asked.


    "Why would I stay here and watch her ruin my reception, it''s not happening!" Chen Lihua said as she stormed off.


    "What are you doing by blocking my way? Get out!" Zie Yu scolded Wu Bohai angrily.


    "Oho! It seems like this bratty little princess is actually angry," Wu Bohai commented with a sardonic smile.


    Zie Yu glared at him before walking past him.


    "It seems that you''ve learned how to show your true colors after your break up," Wu Bohai said with a smug look.


    Zie Yu totally ignored him as she came to stand beside Liu Longwei. And as she was about to grab his right arm, someone did that before her.


    "Longwei, my classmates from secondary school want to meet you," Chen Lihua said with a beautiful smile while clinging to his arm.


    "Sure, let''s go," Liu Longwei said as his smile reached his eyes.


    And so with a slender hand on his arm, he walked off, leaving the flabbergasted Zie Yu.


    "When did sister-in-law appear?" Su Changming asked in astonishment.


    "Just now," Wu Bohai answered while directing a taunting smile towards the angry Zie Yu.


    "I guess we would have to take the pictures later. Let''s go and find Boqin, he seemed to have abandoned us after he saw his wife earlier," Zhang Bingwen said. He stalked out of there with the others following behind him, leaving Zie Yu who was currently grinding her teeth in anger.


    Just then, a young lady walked towards Zie Yu in a hurry and grabbed her arm in excitement.


    "Yu Yu, have you seen Brother Longwei yet? What did he say to you? Did he see your dress, what did he say about it?" The lady bombarded her with questions without trying to read her facial expression.


    Zie Yu was already very irritated, so she forcefully pushed away from the hands that were grabbing hers.


    "Zu Mei! Do not annoy me further," That was Zie Yu''s last sentence to her before she stormed off angrily.


    Zu Mei, who was her best friend, gaped at her disappearing figure in confusion.


    ''Why the sudden outburst?'' She thought to herself, before hurriedly following after her.


    The c.o.c.ktail hour lasted for one hour, and after that, the main ceremony started.


    Now, it was time for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei to have their first dance.


    Chen Lihua hurriedly found Delmas and began to complain.


    "How will I dance in this dress? It''s all your fault!" She lamented before she was dragged away by Liu Longwei to the dance floor.


    "What''s my fault?" Delmas muttered to himself.


    In his years of experience, no bride has ever complained that the wedding dresses he designed for them had a problem. In fact, they all fell in love with their dresses at first sight, including Chen Lihua.


    Then why was she complaining about the dress at this moment?


    For a moment, Delmas began to doubt his capabilities, so he asked the female assistant that was standing close to him, "Do you see anything wrong with the dress?"


    The assistant shook her head negatively before saying, "Her dress is perfect."


    Her words caused Delmas to become more confident in his capabilities, so he smiled confidently.


    As for Chen Lihua, she was already on the dance floor with Liu Longwei, and they were currently dancing to a soft song, so she didn''t need to move much.


    Well, luckily for her, she didn''t trip over her dress.


    After their dance, and before the second dance, there was a welcome toast, which was given by Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    The welcome toast could as well be given by the bride''s father, so since he ''wasn''t present'', it had to be done by the bride and groom.


    The second dance was between the couple and their mothers. So Chen Lihua danced with Lady Chen, but her movements were a bit restricted because of her dress, while Liu Longwei danced with Madame Liu.


    During the dance with her mother, Chen Lihua kept saying, "Mother, slow down, or I might trip over my dress, and then I would be too embarrassed. Mum, I don''t want to be embarrassed, I hate to be embarrassed."


    Lady Chen smiled as she gave in to her, but Chen Lihua came up with another complaint again.


    "Mum, can you change to another dance step, I can''t do what you are doing?"


    "You are talking way too much, don''t you know people are watching you?" Lady Chen sighed before continuing.


    "I know you are a bad dancer like your father, so just follow my lead."


    Chen Lihua listened to her obediently, and within a few seconds, she was already getting the steps right.


    Everyone in the crowd cheered for the mother and daughter pair.


    Imagine seeing a mother and daughter pair that had similar looks, dancing with the same step? It was a beautiful sight to behold.


    As for Liu Longwei and Madam Liu, they were doing just fine.


    Liu Longwei was a good dancer, and Madam Liu was a good dancer as well, so nothing could go wrong at their side.


    All the guests cheered for them with claps and screams.


    After the dance, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came up on stage to cut their Wedding cake, and there, they fed each other a bite from the cake, lovingly.


    While Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were having a romantic moment with themselves, many people were seething in anger, including the future''s cruelest enemy of Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 257 - Wedding Day VII: Wedding Shoe Game.

    I wish there was a way for Chen Lihua to avoid the calamity that was to befall her in the future, but let''s hope she overcomes it.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went to one of the hotel rooms to change their attire, and to retouch her makeup (Chen Lihua). At the same time, their guests listened to and watched an opera performance by a renowned opera artist as they waited for them.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came back to the hall, just as the opera performance, ended.


    Now it was time for dinner, the first-course salad, which served as an appetizer, were served to the guests.


    Then the first toasts which were given by the maid of honor, Angel (ladies first!), followed by the best man, Liu Liwei.


    The second-course meal, which is the main course, were served to the guests, and the second toasts were made by the bride, Chen Lihua, and the groom, Liu Longwei.


    While the dinner was ongoing, lots of performances were going on. There were dances, choreography, comedy, ballet dance, a little drama from the children at the orphanage group, and a lot more.


    Two renowned music artists performed as well.


    This was indeed a wedding for the wealthy; as some famous people wrangled for a spot to perform at this wedding.


    What a golden opportunity for them to perform amidst big shots from around the world; their reputation and fame will soar high, and they might even land a brand new contract.


    So these famous people that performed during Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s wedding reception were indeed privileged to be sitting over a gold mine.


    When the desserts were served, the stage lights ???? turned dim, as a video was projected to play on the screen.


    It was a 20 minutes video that comprised of Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s childhood, from their early stage, up to their present stage.


    So, the guests enjoyed their deserts while watching the video.


    The video had funny moments of the couple and little clips of their marriage proposal. It was such a heartfelt scene.


    The guests were all smiles as they watched on, and this showed that they were moved.


    Next on the list was the wedding shoe game, so the video that played earlier on was like an introductory aspect for the game.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei each sat on a chair, backing each other. They removed their shoes and exchanged one of them with the others while placing their legs on a low stool.


    The MC made a funny comment that cracked up the couple and their guests.


    The guests all had their eyes on the stage in anticipation.


    Now, the game started, as the MC asked the first question.


    "Who is the better cook?"


    Chen Lihua raised her shoe, and Liu Longwei raised her shoe as well, so the guests clapped their hands.


    "Who is the first to admit they are wrong?"


    Liu Longwei was the first to make a movement. He raised his shoe as he chuckled softly. Chen Lihua could hear him laugh, so she smiled as well and raised his shoe.


    She didn''t even need to think twice, because Liu Longwei was always the first to apologize to her, even when he wasn''t at fault.


    "Who takes longer to get ready?"


    Chen Lihua raised her shoe, and Liu Longwei did the same.


    There was no need for any of them to overthink because most of the time, Chen Lihua would need a makeup artist and a hairstylist to get ready before going out.


    "Who is the most romantic?"


    The guests were trifled with laughter, as this question very intriguing, but Zie Yu and the other jealous ladies we''re an exception.


    But Zie Yu''s jealousy had the highest degree, as she was seething with rage while clasping firmly on her wine glasses.


    If a little strength was added, nothing would stop the wine glass from shattering into pieces.


    So with a little reminder from Zu Mei, she released the wine glass, while still staring at Chen Lihua with a piercing gaze.


    At the stage, Chen Lihua blushed as she raised Liu Longwei''s shoe, not daring to raise her head, while Liu Longwei raised his shoe with a proud smile.


    "It seems like our bride is shy," The MC teased with a smile with his eyes on Chen Lihua.


    The guests laughed out loud, as they had their eyes on the stage, and whispered some words to each other.


    "Who is more likely to cry during a sad movie?"


    Chen Lihua raised her shoe, and Liu Longwei raised her shoe.


    "Who is more stubborn?" This was another funny question that made the guests laugh.


    Liu Longwei quickly raised Chen Lihua''s shoe, as Chen Lihua followed suit.


    "That''s my daughter," Lady Chen said to Madam Liu with a smile, and the latter laughed with her.


    "Who is the most patient?"


    Liu Longwei raised his shoe, and Chen Lihua raised him as well.


    "That''s my son!" Madam Liu commented.


    "Who said I love you first?"


    Obviously, it was Liu Longwei.


    "Who is the better driver?"


    Chen Lihua confidently raised her shoe with a smug smile. At the same time, Liu Longwei struggled internally for a while before lifting her shoe up.


    "Wow! It seems like sister-in-law is good with cars," Liu Liwei commented excitedly.


    "Shame on you, Longwei!" Gu Jian said


    "You really can''t blame him, he always had a chauffeur to drive him to his destination," Li Da commented.


    "But that is not enough reason for his driving skills to be so rotten!" Han Jian said.


    "The last time Longwei drove with me in his car, he drove like a snail, and the worst part was that he couldn''t speed up, as he was scared of colliding with another car," Mu Boqin said while laughing hard, and the others joined him as well.


    "I bet you felt like kicking him out of the car," Wu Bohai said in laughter.


    "I didn''t dare to push him out of his own car, but I succeeded in taking over the steering from him," Mu Boqin said proudly.

 Chapter 258 - Wedding Day VIII: Wedding Comes To An End.

    "I bet you felt like kicking him out of the car," Wu Bohai said in laughter.


    "I didn''t dare to push him out of his own car, but I succeeded in taking over the steering from him," Mu Boqin said proudly.


    "Who is most likely to forget something?"


    Liu Longwei raised Chen Lihua''s shoe without wasting time, while Chen Lihua deliberated for a while, before raising her shoe.


    "Who met the future in-laws first?"


    Liu Longwei won, which means that he raised his shoe, and Chen Lihua raised his shoe as well.


    "Who has the worst handwriting?"


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei didn''t need to think twice before taking action.


    Chen Lihua had the worst handwriting.


    "Yes, I knew she would be the one," Caro said.


    "It''s obvious, her handwriting is so terrible that I can''t even make out more than three words from each sentence," Jennifer said.


    "Is her handwriting that bad?" Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.


    "Mmmm," Krishi, Chen Lihua''s Indian friend hummed in response.


    "But her handwriting wasn''t that bad in high school, what happened now?" Another of Chen Lihua''s home friend asked in surprise.


    "I guess it changed with time," Caro answered.


    "Wow! Sister-in-law is so beautiful, I can''t believe her writing is that bad," Wu Bohai said, a little surprised.


    "One''s beauty cannot determine one''s handwriting," Gu Jian quoted.


    "I guess it''s because of her profession. I have bad writing as well," Li Da said with a smile.


    "That might be true, as you have the worst writing amongst us," Su Changmin agreed.


    "Oh! So that woman has terrible writing, I thought she was all-round perfect," Zu Mei sneered.


    A little satisfied smile hung on Zie Yu''s lips.


    ''At least, she is not that perfect,'' She thought to herself.


    "Here comes the last question on the list for them. Who is the best dresser?" The MC asked.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei raised both of their shoes (Liu Longwei raised his and Chen Lihua''s shoes, as Chen Lihua did the same). They each believed that they knew how to dress, without careful considerations.


    "This couple seem to know themselves very well, as they didn''t fail any questions. Please put together a round of applause for them," The MC said with a smile, as the guests cheered and clapped.


    What the MC meant by none of them failed any of the questions was that Liu Longwei never raised any shoe with Chen Lihua doing the opposite.  So they either raised the same shoe or raised them both as they did in the last part.


    "Now that they have successfully completed these series of questions. As the guests, how do you think they should entertain us? We have two options, which is, a kiss, or have a dance competition?" The MC asked.


    Many of the replies were "Kiss. Kiss...kiss...kiss". Only a few chose the other option.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei hadn''t kissed in front of the guests since the reception began. Many of them were way too eager to see their romantic entanglement, and that is the reason they went for the first option.


    As for the second option, the people that went for it, actually wanted to watch Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei compete with each other, to find out who danced better than the other.


    Chen Lihua was quite lucky that the second option had fewer votes, if not, she would have ended up being embarrassed. But as for the kissing part, she could just close her eyes and do it, after all, nobody would mock her, unlike if she actually danced terribly.


    Hearing the shouts of ''Kiss. Kiss. Kiss'', Chen Lihua''s ears reddened in embarrassment


    The MC turned to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei to say, "You heard it all, your guests want you to kiss, and you will have to do it for three minutes,"


    The guests shouted excitedly, this was the kind of game they loved and longed for.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t be any more embarrassed than this.


    As for Liu Longwei, he was smiling calmly. But in fact, he was pleased to show his love for his wife, in front of their guests.


    The MC gave the DJ a sign to play music, and he (DJ) played romantic music that would last for that 3 minutes.


    Immediately the song started to play, the lights ???? in the hall dimmed, including the stage light, leaving only a faint light to be focused on Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei put Chen Lihua''s hands over his shoulders before gently touching her cheeks as he leaned in close with a smile on his face.


    He first licked her lips, then slowly kissed her lips, before pushing his tongue into her mouth, and then, their tongues danced in tune with each other.


    This was a perfect romantic sight to behold.


    As for Zie Yu, her heart had long bled out.


    After their (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) kiss, the lights turned back on, as some of the guests, stood up while clapping their hands, while the others remained sitting as they clapped their hands.


    Am very sure that Lady Chen and Madam Liu were the most excited.


    "The couple was very romantic. Did you see that kiss, it was the most romantic kiss I''ve ever witnessed at a wedding. I am already missing my wife, I wish she was here, and then, we would have made you all eat a little more dog food*," The MC joked, and the guests laughed happily.


    (*To eat dog food - This slang in Chinese usually refers to the self-pity of single people (ironically dubbed as "single dogs") triggered by the public displays of affection by couples.)


    Chen Lihua was able to relax when the next item came up.


    All the guests were invited out to dance, and they did so for 20 minutes. But before them, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei danced salsa dance for 4 minutes before the guests were asked to join them.


    After the dance, it was time for the garter tosses, and Krishi, Chen Lihua''s Indian friend caught it.


    Next, the wedding cake and late-night snacks were shared with the guests, and a few minutes later, wedding favors were gifted to them.


    Last in line for the day, was the ''Farewell''.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had a sparkler farewell, as their guests lined up close to the exit door to send them off, 10 minutes to the time they (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) planned to exit.

 Chapter 259 - Over a drink.

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went back to their home in the Karlmann King.


    In the car, Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand, as he squeezed it gently.


    He looked very happy as the smile on his face tells it all.


    "Do you want some wine?" He asked her.


    "I will have it later," Chen Lihua said, exhausted.


    "You look tired, why don''t you close your eyes for a while," Liu Longwei suggested.


    "Don''t worry, I will do that when we get home," Chen Lihua said.


    There was a moment of silence as Liu Longwei continued squeezing her right hand gently.


    "So, we are officially married?" Chen Lihua asked with a smile while breaking the silence.


    "Mmmhmm," Liu Longwei hummed before leaving a kiss on the back of her hand.


    "Was this how you wanted your dream wedding to be like?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yes, everything was perfect, even though there is nothing like perfect. In years to come, the decorations and event plans will be outdated. But am very happy with how our wedding went today. We really need to give the wedding vendors more tips; they did a really good job today," Chen Lihua said cheerfully.


    "Indeed, they did a good job today. I will send a tip across to all of them," Liu Longwei said.


    "Thank you!" Chen Lihua said satisfactorily.


    "You are welcome," Liu Longwei said before leaving another kiss on her palm.


    Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand until they got to their home.


    "Where do you want to spend the night?" Liu Longwei asked as they took the elevator to their floor.


    Chen Lihua blushed as she responded softly, "Your bedroom." Then she disappeared into her room.


    Liu Longwei stared at the tightly closed door and smiled to himself before stepping into his bedroom.


    Chen Lihua thought for a while before picking her toiletries, and selecting a random nightdress from her closet and went into Liu Longwei''s bedroom, only for her to see red rose petals used to form a love shape on the white sheets.


    She could see the candles ???? lit at different corners of the room, she marveled at the sight before her.


    She couldn''t help but let her thoughts run wide, as she started to imagine she and Liu Longwei would roll in the sheets tonight.


    Liu Longwei came out from the bathroom and saw his wife staring at the sheets, so he smiled.


    "Do you want to use the bathroom?" He asked, breaking her out from her thoughts.


    "Yes," Chen Lihua replied as she ventured into the bathroom locking the door in the process.


    Liu Longwei chuckled to himself before going into his walk-in closet.


    After Chen Lihua was done bathing and had changed into her nightdress, she came into the room and didn''t catch a glimpse of Liu Longwei''s shadow.


    So as she walked towards the bed, she began to wonder where he went to.


    Now standing beside the bed, she saw a note on the bed, so she picked it up and read it.


    The note said, "I know you''re not comfortable, so meet me up at the rooftop, let''s have a drink, so you can loosen up a bit."


    "What a thoughtful husband," Chen Lihua said to herself in a smile.


    A few minutes later, Chen Lihua came up to the rooftop, only to see Liu Longwei sitting and staring into the night view.


    Liu Longwei heard her footsteps and turned to look at her. Then he gestured for her to take a seat beside him, and she obeyed.


    "Why are you wearing so little?" Liu Longwei asked with a slight frown on his face.


    Chen Lihua took a glance at her dress before speaking up, "I just picked the dress randomly. But the breeze is nice and soothing, so I am not cold."


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything again, he just opened up the bottle of wine before pouring a certain quantity into each of the wine glasses ????on the stool.


    He then passed a glass to Chen Lihua, and they clinked glasses.


    "Cheers to our married life," Liu Longwei said, and Chen Lihua responded.


    They each took a sip from their wine glass ????as they stared at the night view.


    "You have Acrophobia (Fear of height), but am surprised you are not scared by how high up we are," Liu Longwei said, out of the blue.


    Chen Lihua laughed softly, "I have never been up here before, so I can''t tell how high up we are. And besides, it''s very late, so I really can''t tell."


    Liu Longwei nodded his head in understanding, and the two talked briefly about their wedding party.


    "Am I that stubborn?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Mmmhmm. Don''t you know?" Liu Longwei asked with a smile, and Chen Lihua shook her head.


    "Let''s go back inside, the night wind is starting to become chilly," Liu Longwei said as he stood up before stretching his hand out to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua gulped down the little quantity of wine remaining in her glass, before holding onto Liu Longwei''s outstretched hand for support, as she stood up.


    So hand in hand, they went back into their bedroom.


    Chen Lihua had turned off the lights before leaving the room earlier. So when they came into the room, it was dim, as the only source of light in the room was from the candles.


    Accompanied by the scent in the room, the room reeked of romance.


    Without turning on the lights, the two found their way to the bed.


    "I think I should get rid of the flowers," Liu Longwei said while staring at the bed of roses.


    "That would be a waste," Chen Lihua said, with a tinge of regret in her voice while staring at the beautiful rose petals on the bed.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly and asked, "Do you want to sleep on them?"


    Chen Lihua sighed, before saying, "Forget it", so Liu Longwei got rid of the flowers.


    Now, they laid under the white blankets without moving.

 Chapter 260 - Consummating their marriage.

    Chen Lihua sighed, before saying, "Forget it", so Liu Longwei got rid of the flowers.


    Now, they laid under the white blankets without moving.


    Liu Longwei turned to face Chen Lihua, and at the same time, placed his hands on her hair, but she shivered.


    "What''s wrong, are you cold?" Liu Longwei asked worriedly.


    "No, am just a bit nervous," Chen Lihua answered softly.


    Liu Longwei brought her into his arms, and said, "Sleep."


    Chen Lihua was surprised, and so she asked, "Sleep?"


    "Mmm...sleep," Liu Longwei confirmed.


    "You...you don''t want me anymore?" Chen Lihua asked uncertainly.


    Liu Longwei sighed helplessly before saying, "What''s going on in that mind yours? You don''t look like you are in the mood for it this night, so sleep. You are not running away, so we can do it any other day."


    Chen Lihua was quiet for a while, while Liu Longwei continued to pat her back as if she was a little child being lulled to sleep.


    "Are you tired?" She asked.


    "No," Liu Longwei said as he shut his eyes.


    "Are you angry?" Chen Lihua asked worriedly.


    "No, go to sleep," Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua''s thoughts started to run wide again.


    ''What if he is giving random excuses because he doesn''t want to touch me?''


    ''What if he cheats on me?''


    There was no kind of thought that didn''t cross Chen Lihua''s mind.


    Finally, Chen Lihua decided to take the initiative.


    Liu Longwei thought that Chen Lihua had gone to sleep as she was no longer asking questions, or making any movement.


    So he was quite startled when a soft palm invaded his chest and caressed him, so he quickly caught the hand.


    "What are you doing? You don''t want to sleep anymore?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "I never said that I wanted to sleep," Chen Lihua murmured, but he still heard her.


    Liu Longwei understood her actions, so he let go of her hand, and kissed her forehead.


    "Are you sure you are ready?"


    "Mmmm," Chen Lihua replied. She has never been sure about this moment until now.


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself at her answer, before getting into action.


    From her forehead to her cheeks, lips, and then down to her neck, Liu Longwei trailed kissed on her.


    Having kissed her neck for a while, Liu Longwei sat up on the bed, before parting her thin night robes.


    Now, he could very well see her body in that seductive nightgown.


    Without uttering a word, Liu Longwei leaned close to her.


    He caressed Chen Lihua''s body while kissing her, and a m.o.a.n escaped from her lips, which was a sign that her body was getting heat up.


    Liu Longwei helped Chen Lihua to sit up a bit on the bed after adjusting the pillow. Then, he pulled down the hands of her nightdress, to reveal her full chest to his sight.


    Immediately, Liu Longwei had a hard-on, so he started to suckle on one of her erect n.i.p.p.l.es.


    And his actions caused Chen Lihua to unconsciously m.o.a.n loudly.


    "You are free to m.o.a.n as loud as you want, no one will be on this floor by this time, and no one can hear us," Liu Longwei said in a hoarse voice when he saw Chen Lihua covering her mouth with her hands.


    Chen Lihua was beyond embarrassed, was that how horny she was? She asked herself. But she decided to enjoy the best of this moment, after all, it was her first time, she didn''t want to regret not doing anything. So she let herself be free tonight.


    Liu Longwei wasn''t satisfied with her dress, as he felt it was obstructing him from getting a better view of her body, so he decided to remove it from her body completely.


    Chen Lihua was naturally shy, and now, Liu Longwei still had his clothes on him, while she was lying n.a.k.e.d in front of him, with only her little panties covering her butt.


    Liu Longwei seemed to understand her plight, so he took off his clothes, leaving only his briefs on him.


    Chen Lihua gasped in shock as she saw how huge his bulge was, and so she didn''t know when she said it out, "You are so big."


    Liu Longwei just chuckled softly before kissing her lips.


    Now that there weren''t many clothes on them, they could feel each other''s body temperature, as their skin collided against each other.


    They kissed and caressed each other''s bodies for a while, but they didn''t seem to be satisfied yet.


    Chen Lihua felt secured and protected while caressing Liu Longwei''s chest muscles, his biceps, and his back.


    ''This man is mine,'' she said to herself.


    It seemed that Chen Lihua had made up her mind to be submissive because she was not only responding to Liu Longwei''s kisses and touches, she had also signed into action.


    She kissed Liu Longwei''s body and caressed him as well.


    Liu Longwei groaned and said in a hoarse voice, "You are a fast learner."


    Then he pushed her hands away, and commanded, "Lie on your back", and she obeyed.


    Then he kissed her lips and suckled on her n.i.p.p.l.es for a while before pulling away from her panties. Now, Chen Lihua laid stark n.a.k.e.d in front of him.


    Next, he parted her legs and raised them before sniffing her p***y.


    "What are you doing!?" Chen Lihua asked in a seductive voice.


    That gush of air on her private area got into her head.


    Liu Longwei shushed her, and without warning, he put his face in-between her legs and started to lick her with his hot tongue.


    Chen Lihua screamed in pleasure. She has never experienced this or felt this way since she was born.


    "Longwei¡­ stop," She pleaded pleasurably, but it all fell on deaf ears.


    Instead of stopping, Liu Longwei tightly held unto her struggling legs, as he continued to lick her juices.


    Chen Lihua was mad with pleasure as she m.o.a.ned loudly. And because she wasn''t in her right senses, she clutched Liu Longwei''s hair and she started to rub it with her palms.

 Chapter 261 - Finally Taken.

    Chen Lihua was mad with pleasure as she m.o.a.ned loudly. And because she wasn''t in her right senses, she clutched Liu Longwei''s hair and she started to rub it with her palms.


    "You taste so sweet," Liu Longwei managed to say before sucking more juices.


    Chen Lihua was struggling like a fish caught from the water. She hasn''t felt like this before.


    The pleasure Liu Longwei brought her was mind-blowing.


    Chen Lihua said in between m.o.a.ns, "Long...Wei plea....se."


    Who knew if she was begging for more or wanted him to take the next step, or even to stop his actions?


    Liu Longwei still had his face buried in between her legs as he squeezed her b.o.o.b.s.


    Chen Lihua could feel something hot and wet eating her p***y, and the pleasure made her leave Liu Longwei''s hair to squeeze the sheets.


    While Liu Longwei was doing all these, his bulge was getting bigger and painful as he needed a release. So he raised his head and moved closer to Chen Lihua''s face in an attempt to kiss her lips, but she avoided him.


    Liu Longwei chuckled hoarsely, "Do you find my mouth dirty?"


    Chen Lihua managed to nod her head in response.


    How can Chen Lihua allow him to kiss her with that mouth that had been in between her legs for a while now?


    She didn''t want to kiss his mouth, because she didn''t want to know what she tasted like because she found it disgusting.


    Liu Longwei didn''t try to kiss her again, instead picked her n.i.p.p.l.e with his mouth, and started to suckle on it, while squeezing the other one.


    He didn''t waste time on her chest before he came down from the bed.


    Chen Lihua was surprised to see him climb down from the bed; so she felt that he was angry because she didn''t allow him to kiss her.


    But then she said to herself, ''if he leaves me this way, I won''t ever allow him to touch me again.''


    Just when she came to a conclusion, she heard Liu Longwei asked in a seductive voice.


    "Should I use a condom?"


    Chen Lihua''s cheeks that were tinted red already, became redder, but she still answered his question, "No."


    "Are you sure, you might get pregnant? Do you want to have children now?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had never talked about the right time for them to have children.


    But Liu Longwei knew that she might not want to get pregnant that early.


    "I don''t want to get pregnant now, am just taking a risk because I didn''t see my period this month, and also because I don''t want you to use a condom on my first time," Chen Lihua said the last sentence in a muffled voice.


    But she didn''t dare to complete the sentence which was, ''I don''t want you to use a condom on my first time because of the blood, and also¡­because I want to feel your skin.''


    But what she didn''t know was that Liu Longwei understood her, and what she wanted to say.


    So Liu Longwei chuckled in a low voice as he pulled off his briefs without prior notice.


    So Chen Lihua who had been staring at him caught a full glimpse of his big tool that was standing erect.


    She screamed because she has never seen a man''s private part before, and now here she was staring at something that was almost of the same size and length with Zucchini. It was indeed a big shock to her.


    The thing that surprised Liu Longwei the most, was that she attempted to run away. But how could he allow her to run when they still had unfinished business?


    So, he caught her immediately as he pounced on her.


    "Longwei that thing is too big, it cannot enter," Chen Lihua whined as she struggled in his arms.


    "It''s not too big, and it will enter. If you don''t allow me to start, how will you find out if it will enter or not?" Liu Longwei asked while clasping her struggling hands.


    "No...no. I don''t want it, it will be painful," Chen Lihua complained with a frown on her face.


    Liu Longwei could no longer stand Chen Lihua again with this childish behavior of hers.


    If the two of them continued to argue back and forth, the romantic mode they were in, will die down soon, and he didn''t want that.


    "If you continue to struggle, you won''t be satisfied, and so you won''t feel comfortable. Just allow me to enter. If it''s painful, I will come out," Liu Longwei gave an empty promise.


    ''Which normal man would want to come out of paradise after entering it and seeing the goodies in it, even though it''s crowded? No man will do it.''


    Even after his promise, Chen Lihua still refused. She was scared of his big tool causing additional pain to her.


    So, Liu Longwei had no choice than to shut her up with his mouth. He kissed her senseless.


    And when Chen Lihua remembered where his mouth had just explored before coming to her lips, she felt like pinching Liu Longwei to death after having that weird taste, so she lost focus in struggling.


    And Liu Longwei used the opportunity to grind her honey web with his tool.


    So instead of a scolding, a m.o.a.n escaped from Chen Lihua''s lips.


    This was how Liu Longwei brought her back to her pleasurable state.


    Liu Longwei got into position between her legs, and he immediately but gently pushed his tool halfway inside of her.


    A m.o.a.n and a groan escaped from their lips.


    Liu Longwei teased her for a while, before fully thrusting into her, and this made Chen Lihua scream out in pain.


    "Stop...stop!" She shouted in pain.


    Liu Longwei stopped immediately and asked with a look of worry, "Darling, are you okay? Is it painful?"


    Chen Lihua didn''t answer him, as she stopped moving. She could feel that something has torn in between her legs and that she was no longer a v.i.r.g.i.n, so she started crying.

 Chapter 262 - Soiled sheets.

    "Lihua, are you alright?" Liu Longwei asked in a panic-stricken voice. He has not taken any woman''s v.i.r.g.i.nity, apart from Chen Lihua, who was his wife. So he has never been in this situation before.


    "You''ve taken my v.i.r.g.i.nity, so you have to promise me that you will forever remain loyal to me. You¡­you can''t sleep with other women otherwise, I will cut off that thing," Chen Lihua said with teary eyes.


    Liu Longwei wiped off the droplets of tears on her cheeks and promised her. "Darling don''t cry anymore. You have given me a wonderful gift, so I promise you that I will never sleep with any other woman apart from you."


    His promise calmed Chen Lihua down a lot, so she allowed him to proceed.


    Liu Longwei sighed in relief and began thrusting in slowly. He had beads of sweat on his forehead. It was not an easy task to placate Chen Lihua, and now he was suffering so badly for it.


    Chen Lihua hissed in pain as he began to move, so Liu Longwei suggested that she bit his shoulders to ease the pain.


    But Chen Lihua refused to bite his sweaty skin instead she scratched his back while m.o.a.ning.


    So in the dark, two bodies were entangled as one. They had their orgasm at the same time, and Liu Longwei released his seeds into her body before coming to lie down beside her.


    As he laid down beside her panting, he immediately brought her into his arm, while using his free hand to arrange her hair.


    He kissed her lips, and then her forehead before saying, "Thank you."


    Chen Lihua hugged his waist with her eyes shut, she was damn tired


    "Let''s have a bath," Liu Longwei suggested, but she refused.


    "Let''s do it tomorrow, am very tired and I want to sleep," Chen Lihua replied with her eyes closed.


    Liu Longwei sighed and didn''t disturb her again because it was her first time having s.e.x, and he really tired her out.


    So the two n.a.k.e.d bodies lay in each other''s arms with the white duvet covering them.


    The next morning, Liu Longwei was the first to wake up, and he discovered that his wife was no longer in his arms, so he hurriedly sat up because he thought she had left the room already.


    But when he sat up, he saw her curled up at the other side of the bed sleeping soundly, so he sighed in relief before scooping her back into his arms.


    But he didn''t bring her so close to his body like he did last night, because of his morning wood.


    While staring at his beautiful wife, a smile appeared on his face as he leaned in to kiss her forehead.


    Since they didn''t bath last night, Liu Longwei felt uncomfortable, so he raised the duvet and stood up from the bed gently, so as not to wake his sleeping wife.


    He picked up his night robe from the floor and wore it before pressing a button on the little remote he picked up from the nightstand, and the curtains opened.


    Liu Longwei sniffed the scent in the room and smiled to himself. He was indeed in a very good mood this morning.


    He must have been happy because the room reeked of their lovemaking last night.


    As the morning sun and gentle breeze from the windows came in, Chen Lihua changed her sleeping position.


    When Liu Longwei saw that she didn''t wake up, he smiled blissfully.


    ''She must have been so tired last night,'' He said to himself before leaving the room.


    He came back a few minutes later with some clothes that belonged to Chen Lihua, he must have gone into her room to get some clothes for her.


    Next, he went to prepare the bath in the Jacuzzi. And after that, he climbed back to the bed to wake his sleeping wife, but Chen Lihua whined and rolled away.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly at her actions before taking the duvet off her body.


    The next thing his eyes saw, caused him to pause in his actions.


    As he removed the duvet, he saw the red-stained patch on the white sheets.


    The red stain was the blood that came from Chen Lihua when he took her v.i.r.g.i.nity.


    Liu Longwei felt proud as he took Chen Lihua in his arms.


    "Lihua, come and have your bath. You can go back to sleep after that. No morning exercises today," Liu Longwei said as he got off the bed with her in his arms.


    Chen Lihua squinted his eyes open in time to see Liu Longwei ogling at her body. She got her senses back immediately as she discovered that she was lying n.a.k.e.d in his arms.


    So she struggled to get down from his hands, and in the process, her chest shook because of her actions, and that caused Liu Longwei to stare at them with a big smile on his face.


    "Good morning~" Liu Longwei greeted her when he saw her angry look.


    "Good morning, put me down," Chen Lihua said gently.


    Liu Longwei obeyed and put her down, but then Chen Lihua felt weird as she took a step.


    "What''s wrong?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Nothing serious, it''s just that I feel weird while walking," Chen Lihua answered while covering her body with her night robe.


    Liu Longwei relaxed and said, "Of course you have to feel weird when you walk, after all, I did something there. I would have doubted my capabilities if you didn''t feel anything."


    Chen Lihua blushed at his words, not daring to look at the shameless man before her.


    So her eyes went to the bed, and she saw a bright red patch on the bed. She became shocked as she stared at it and back at Liu Longwei, she didn''t know if she should hide it.


    But then Liu Longwei said as if he read her mind. "Don''t bother covering it, I have seen it already. Let''s wash up, the maids will take care of it."

 Chapter 263 - Bathing together.

    "What will the maids think when they see the sheets? Ah! Am so embarrassed," Chen Lihua said while covering her face with her palms.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he enveloped her cuddly body in his embrace.


    "What''s there to be embarrassed about? You should be proud. The servants will not dare to talk behind your back, but if they do, they will be sacked," Liu Longwei assured her.


    Chen Lihua nodded is understanding.


    "Now, let''s go and have a bath," Liu Longwei said while lifting her.


    Chen Lihua instinctively wrapped her hands over his neck and asked in confusion, "Have our bath...together?"


    "Mmmhmm," Liu Longwei replied as he walked towards the bathroom.


    "No, I don''t want to bath with you," Chen Lihua began to protest.


    She didn''t want him to see her n.a.k.e.d again, and she also didn''t want to see him n.a.k.e.d, especially that long thing that did bad things to her last night.


    "You don''t have to be shy, I have seen, touched, and tasted every visible part of your body," Liu Longwei teased her.


    Chen Lihua blushed profusely as she recalled how he buried his head in between her legs last night and ate her whole.


    "Why would you use your mouth to lick that place? And you made me taste it as well. Didn''t you find it disgusting?" Chen Lihua asked, seeking for answers.


    "I didn''t find it disgusting. You tasted so sweet, and I enjoyed it," Liu Longwei said before left a kiss on her lips.


    Chen Lihua stared right into his eyes as she asked, "Have you done this to any other woman before?"


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he replied to her honestly, "It seems like someone is jealous. I haven''t done this to anyone before you are the first and last."


    Chen Lihua blushed and didn''t nit-pick because she was satisfied with his answer.


    Now in the bathroom, Liu Longwei put Chen Lihua down before putting toothpaste in their toothbrushes and handing Chen Lihua her own.


    After brushing, Chen Lihua said to him, "Longwei, next time, don''t eat that place like that, I can''t stand it. It makes me want to go crazy."


    Liu Longwei laughed at the way she spoke her mind with a serious look on her face.


    "That''s fun. Don''t worry, I will satisfy you after bringing you to the brink of ecstasy," Liu Longwei assured her.


    "Do you want to go first?" Liu Longwei asked when she made no movements and only staring at the water in the Jacuzzi.


    "Yes. Turn your back and shut your eyes," Chen Lihua commanded.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he carried out her instructions.


    Chen Lihua didn''t trust him, so she faced his back while removing her night robe, and then took some steps backward.


    "Don''t worry, am not going to turn. But if you continue in that way, you might hurt yourself," Liu Longwei said with his eyes shut, while still backing her.


    Chen Lihua was shocked by his statement, so she quickly turned around, and hurriedly entered the Jacuzzi.


    When Liu Longwei heard the sound of water, he opened his eyes and turned around before removing his bathrobe.


    Chen Lihua moved her face away immediately as she didn''t want to see anything that might cause her brain to stop functioning.


    Liu Longwei got into the Jacuzzi and sat facing her.


    Thankfully, Liu Longwei could not see her chest because the foam covered it, so Chen Lihua relaxed, but it was too early for her to do that because the next few seconds, Liu Longwei pulled her over to him and turned her around.


    Now, Chen Lihua had her back plastered on his chest, while Liu Longwei had his hands around her waist.


    "You....you...what are you doing?" Chen Lihua asked when she felt something poking her butts.


    "Ignore it," Liu Longwei said while forming lather with the sponge and soap.


    But how could Chen Lihua ignore what is poking her? She was even scared of moving because she thought that if she dared to move, that thing might slip into her body again, and she didn''t have the energy to deal with it.


    Chen Lihua was brought back to her senses when she felt something soft start to rub her neck and shoulders.


    "I can bath myself," Chen Lihua quickly said.


    "I will do it myself and we will take turns helping each other to bath," Liu Longwei said as he continued scrubbing her back gently.


    Chen Lihua didn''t utter a word as she was too speechless to do so.


    ''Did I tell him that my hands were broken and that I couldn''t bath myself? What a rogue!'' She thought to herself.


    Liu Longwei did nothing else other than to scrub every inch of her skin, but this turned Chen Lihua on because Liu Longwei deliberately rubbed the sponge slowly over the sensitive spots of her body.


    It was more like he was caressing her than scrubbing her body.


    When he got to her laps, he teased her senseless, and that made Chen Lihua m.o.a.n. And because she m.o.a.ned, she became angry and embarrassed, and so threatened to snatch the sponge from Liu Longwei if he didn''t stop teasing her.


    When it was Chen Lihua''s turn to scrub his body, she skipped some parts, especially his butts and tool.


    But Liu Longwei showed her the spots she missed, but she still refused to wash those parts until he placed her hand there for her to wash, with a smile on his face.


    So Chen Lihua had no choice than to wash those parts without directly looking at them.


    "If you had looked at it properly; you would have noticed some traces of blood on it," Liu Longwei said out of the blue.


    "Did you injure it?" Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "No. It was your blood from last night", Liu Longwei answered shamelessly with a smile on his face.


    "You...." Chen Lihua totally gave up on him. He didn''t seem like he would stop talking about last night for a while now.

 Chapter 264 - Not allowed to sleep with his wife.

    "You...." Chen Lihua totally gave up on him. He didn''t seem like he would stop talking about last night for a while now, so it would be good if she ignored him.


    After having their bath, they got dressed and went down for breakfast.


    Back at the Chen Villa, Chen K was sitting at the breakfast table with Lady Chen and the old couple.


    "Where did you go yesterday?" Old Master Chen asked Chen K while giving him a hard stare.


    "I was at my daughter''s wedding," Chen K answered without a care, as he picked food for himself.


    "What did I tell you about the wedding?" Old Master Chen asked.


    "Husband, allow him to eat. The past is in the past. Lihua did not recognize him anyway, so it''s not a problem," Old Lady Chen said.


    "Have you thought of the scene Lihua will create when she finds out? Or do you think that she is dumb and won''t ever find out?" Old Master Chen asked angrily.


    Old Lady Chen sighed and didn''t talk anymore.


    "Father, don''t worry, Lihua will not react the way you think she would, I will take care of it. Have your breakfast while it''s still warm," Lady Chen said with a smile.


    It appeared that the old man seemed to listen to Lady Chen more because he just glared at his wife and son before picking up his chopsticks.


    Chen K glanced at his wife, Lady Chen, gratefully because he didn''t know how to deal with his old man.


    But when he remembered the scene from last night, he frowned.


    Last night when they came back after the wedding, he thought that now he had an exclusive right to sleep in the same bedroom with his wife, but Lady Chen''s actions gave him a shock.


    She stopped him from setting his feet into her room.


    And when he asked for the reason, she simply replied, "I am used to sleeping alone for five years now. So I don''t need anyone that would invade into my personal space."


    What does that even mean? That was what Chen K was confused about.


    He has missed his wife for five years. And now that he was back, he wasn''t even allowed to share the same bedroom with her, talk more of hugging her soft body to sleep.


    After breakfast, he followed her into the room and started to complain.


    "When am I allowed to move back into the room?" He asked.


    "Which room are you talking about? If you are looking for a room to sleep in, then you have to go back to your bedroom. There is nothing to complain about your room because I had the servants clean it up properly. And even though you were gone for years, I still kept your things intact, so what are complaining about?" Lady Chen asked.


    "Your scent is no longer in my room, and I miss it," Chen K said.


    Lady Chen said while handing her bottle of expensive perfume to him, "Here, have it. You can keep it for yourself, I have another one."


    Chen K took the bottle from her and kept it back on the dresser.


    "You know it''s not what I mean," Chen K said with an obvious frown on his face.


    "Then what do you mean?" Lady Chen asked as she paid close attention to him.


    "I miss you, and I want to hug your body to sleep, and then we can gradually become closer again," Chen K said shamelessly.


    "You want to sleep with me?" Lady Chen asked straightforwardly.


    Chen K didn''t deny it, instead, he nodded in a position affirmation.


    "It''s true that I want to sleep with you. It''s been five years."


    "You just came back a few weeks ago, and you already want to sleep with me. You must be dreaming. If you can''t keep that thing in your pants, then find a solution for it," Lady Chen said after she rolled her eyes at him.


    "Ju Ju you have to help me out. Don''t you know that this is the age when a man has a higher s.e.x drive and would want a relief? And this is what causes men of my age to start to cheat," Chen K, as he tried to reason with her.


    "If you have the guts, then try cheating on me. Then we''ll see if this house will accommodate both of us," Lady Chen warned.


    Chen K sighed and said, "You know that I will never cheat on you, and I haven''t done that before."


    "I have never cheated on you before as well, so get out of my room." Lady Chen said angrily.


    Chen K turned around to leave. And when he opened the door, he stopped to say something, but a makeup blush stick was sent flying towards his way, so he ran for his dear life.


    "Shameless old man!" Lady Chen shouted just before he shut the door.


    "Am I that old?" Chen K asked himself as he patted his cheeks with his palms.


    But unfortunately, there was no one to answer this question for him, so he walked back to his room.


    In a hotel room, two figures are seen in entanglement. A female was standing with her hands on the table, while the male was seen banging her from behind.


    They were both panting and m.o.a.ning.


    "Why did you make it look I was the one in need of it when you very well knew that you wanted it badly?" Liu Dongmei managed to ask in a shaky voice.


    "What are you talking about? I''m just trying to satisfy you, so you wouldn''t have to go to the clubhouse to seek pleasure next time," Mu Boqin denied.


    Liu Dongmei wanted to talk, but Mu Boqin gently slapped her butts, so a m.o.a.n escaped from her mouth instead.


    "I now know why you sent our daughter away to my mother last night," Liu Dongmei managed to say.


    "Talk less, or you will become exhausted before we are done," Mu Boqin advised her before switching into a different position.

 Chapter 265 - Looking hot and s.e.xy in the morning.

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s home.


    When Chen Lihua wanted to sit on the opposite side of Liu Longwei, he refused and asked her to sit right next to him, with the excuse that she was sitting too far away from his reach.


    Before their passionate night last night, Liu Longwei never bothered her about her sitting position. But since last night, he began to find faults with it.


    Chen Lihua gazed at him speechlessly before going to sit beside him.


    Chen Lihua noticed that a few servants kept throwing glances at her while serving their breakfast, even though they were trying hard to avoid being caught.


    So after the servants finished serving the dishes and left, Chen Lihua asked Liu Longwei if he knew why the servants were staring at her.


    Liu Longwei studied her for a few seconds before speaking up, "Your neck."


    "What happened to my neck?" Chen Lihua asked, totally confused while rubbing her neck gently.


    "You''ve got some hickeys there," Liu Longwei answered nonchalantly.


    Chen Lihua became embarrassed, "Y-Y-You caused all these!"


    "It''s not my fault, I was carried away by passion, and besides, you did also leave your marks on my back," Liu Longwei replied with a smile.


    When they were helping each other to bath, they both saw the marks they gave to each other while wrestling in bed.


    But the marks on Chen Lihua''s body were faint because Liu Longwei was extremely gentle to her last night, as it was her first time.


    But the reason the marks on her neck were somewhat obvious was that Liu Longwei found out that it was one of her sensitive spots, so he had nibbled on it for a while.


    Chen Lihua glared at him angrily.


    "Don''t be angry, the hickeys are faint. They are not that visible unless on closer look," Liu Longwei said, trying to pacify her.


    Chen Lihua didn''t pick any trouble with him again, so they ate their breakfast in peace. Chen Lihua ate more than the quantity of food she normally had for breakfast because she was truly famished. The activity that occurred last night, depleted her at every level; like completely drained her.


    After breakfast, Chen Lihua asked a servant about Delmas and his team, and what she heard shocked her.


    She was told that Delmas and his team left for the airport very early in the morning.


    "He had told me he would leave in the morning today, but he didn''t mention the time," Chen Lihua said.


    The servant told her that he didn''t want to disturb her that early in the morning. So he left with his team, as he didn''t have much time to waste since he has some wedding dresses to design and deliver.


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding.


    Delmas was a renowned wedding dress designer, so obviously, he wasn''t free, as he had many contracts at hand.


    Chen Lihua went back to her bedroom and had a video call with her friends, who told them that they would be leaving that day for their homes.


    When Jennifer video called her, she knew she was in for some teasing.


    "Hello, Bride!" Her friends greeted her cheerfully. They all had happy smiles on their faces.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she waved at them.


    "How was last night? Don''t you dare lie to us, because we can see your neck and crimson cheeks," Jennifer asked.


    Chen Lihua didn''t answer, instead she blushed and refused to look at their faces.


    "Awn~ she is shy!" They teased at her.


    "Can you stop it!" Chen Lihua said, trying to sound angry, but the tactics failed because her face and neck were beet-red due to the blushing.


    Chen Lihua''s crazy friends teased her for a while before showing her mercy as they changed the topic.


    While Chen Lihua was blushing, Liu Longwei entered her bedroom without knocking, only to see his wife''s red face. She wasn''t only blushing but also laughing.


    When he heard the female voices from the phone, he then knew that she was on a video call with her friends.


    Chen Lihua looked up to see Liu Longwei gazing at her with those seductive eyes of his.


    "Who is that?" Her friends asked because they heard the sound of the door, and saw Chen Lihua looking away from them.


    Chen Lihua didn''t answer them, instead, she turned her tablet screen to face Liu Longwei.


    Her friends immediately greeted Liu Longwei cheerfully when they saw him, "Hiiiiiiii~"


    Liu Longwei smiled back at them as he waved his hand before turning to leave the room.


    "Wow! Your husband is looking so hot and s.e.xy this morning, this must be the aftermath of last night" Caro said.


    "Caroooooo!" Chen Lihua called out in surprise.


    "What? Am I lying"? Caro asked, and the others choruses, "Noooooo!"


    So when they switched topics; they asked Chen Lihua if she had seen the wedding gifts they sent to her, and she said ''No''.


    "I haven''t seen any wedding gifts. Don''t worry, I will ask my husband about our wedding gifts. Hmm~ this one you all are so enthusiastic about it, please don''t tell me you girls sent something crazy to me?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "When you check it out, then you will find out. We''ve got to go because we have a flight to catch," Angel said to her.


    "Thank you for being with me at my wedding, and the help you rendered days before, and on that day. I really appreciate your efforts, and I just want to say, that I love you all," Chen Lihua said and blew kisses at the end of her statement.


    "We love you too, and we will miss you as well," They said to her happily.


    "We would have asked you to send us off to the airport, but you need to spend time with your husband, and who knows how your steps might be?" Jennifer said as she and the others chuckled softly.


    Chen Lihua immediately disconnected the video call with a red face.


    She felt guilty because Jennifer was right. Since this morning, she had been feeling uncomfortable between her legs, and so that caused her steps to change. They were no longer steady.

 Chapter 266 - Fiery Fury.

    Chen knocks on Liu Longwei''s room door and lets herself in without waiting for a response.


    She saw Liu Longwei sitting on the bed, on a call.


    Liu Longwei looked up towards his door, then he smiled on seeing his beautiful wife, and patted the space beside him.


    Chen Lihua walked towards the bed and sat beside him to wait for him to finish with his call.


    "......any movements yesterday?" Liu Longwei spoke to the person at the other end of the phone while fiddling with Chen Lihua''s palm.


    The person said something which Chen Lihua couldn''t hear, but Liu Longwei replied, "That''s alright. Keep a tight watch," and ended the call.


    Then he enveloped Chen Lihua''s back in an embrace.


    "Who were you speaking so seriously too?" Chen Lihua asked with her back to him.


    "The security team," Liu Longwei answered as he sniffed her neck.


    Chen Lihua moved her neck to the side because of the hot breath she felt on her neck.


    "Is there a problem?" She asked a little worried.


    "None for you to worry about. So tell me, why this prey has sent herself to Lion''s den to be devoured," Liu Longwei asked with a smile as he placed hit kisses on her neck.


    Chen Lihua twisted in his arms as she tried to get away from him.


    "Go away, am not your prey. I just came to ask you about wedding gifts. How come I haven''t seen a single item?" Chen Lihua asked as she finally turned to face him.


    Liu Longwei still had his arms wrapped around her as he answered her question.


    "The gifts should come in about two or more hours. They are currently going through a series of security check-ups," He said before starting to kiss her all over the face.


    Chen Lihua pushed his face away.


    "Stay away from me. I''ll be in my room till then," She said while trying to get up from the bed.


    "Not when I haven''t had my fill yet. Why don''t we play a little game while we wait for the wedding gifts to arrive?" Liu Longwei suggested while still holding her waist.


    "What kind of game?" Chen Lihua inquired in curiosity.


    "You will find out soon~," Liu Longwei whispered mysteriously in her ear.


    Before Chen Lihua could ponder on the meaning of his words, she saw herself lying on his bed.


    "What kind of game are you trying to play?" Chen Lihua asked the man that was leaning in close to her.


    "I just told you, you will find out soon," The man replied as he left a kiss on her lips, before sliding his hands into her blouse.


    "Whoa...woo! From what I just figured out, I don''t think am in for your game," Chen Lihua replied, before rolling off the bed.


    Liu Longwei failed to catch her, so he sat on his bed and chuckled softly while glancing at his woman that just slipped away from his grasp, frightened.


    "Are you still shy?" He asked.


    Chen Lihua let out a breath before telling him how she actually felt.


    "Yes, am still shy, but that''s not the main point. The main point is that I am still uncomfortable after last night, and I don''t think am ready to handle you. So, I suggest you should hold on for a few more days for me to heal."


    Liu Longwei glanced at her and said with a funny expression, "I can''t believe I will be starved of meat just when I thought I have been liberated, after not tasting it for a long time."


    "Don''t worry, you won''t starve for long," Chen Lihua said to him with a smile before turning towards the door.


    "Where are you going? Come and stay with me for a while," Liu Longwei requested.


    "Am going back to my room to check on the wedding gifts I received from your family and my mom. My mother gave me some doc.u.ments that I haven''t looked at for two weeks now. I need to go check out the contents. But first, I think you have to deal with that if you want my company." Chen Lihua said the last sentence while pointing a finger at a certain part of his body before turning to leave immediately.


    Liu Longwei stared at his bulge that Chen Lihua pointed out, before turning to look at the tightly shut door.


    He smiled before lying on the bed with his palms over his face.


    Within twenty minutes, Chen Lihua came out of her bedroom, she was fuming mad.


    She entered Liu Longwei''s room with some doc.u.ments in her hand without knocking.


    She searched his room, bathroom, and walk-in closet while calling his name, but neither did she receive a response not to see a single shadow.


    So she immediately when to the study, and there she saw Liu Longwei looking over the laptop that was sitting on the table in his view.


    "What''s up? Why do you look so angry?" Liu Longwei asked in surprise as he stood up from his chair.


    His woman left him after rejecting his advances, and now she returned twenty-something minutes later in fury..... Who in the world got her this mad?


    Chen Lihua didn''t even allow him to walk towards her, because she was already standing while facing him, but with the table between them.


    "Can I ask you a question?" Chen Lihua tried to ask with a calm facade, but it came out the opposite way.


    Thank goodness the servants didn''t see her angry because they would have been shocked.


    This floor was exclusively for Chen and Liu Longwei, so the servants never came up here unless they had some cleaning to do. If there was an emergency, they were to reach Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei through the intercom.


    "Go ahead and ask," Liu Longwei said calmly.


    "Did the Chen group ever merge with the Liu Group?" Chen Lihua asked, trying to seek clarification on the matter she was going gaga for.


    "No, why do you ask? Is there a problem?" Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    "My mother lied to me!" Chen Lihua said through gritted teeth.

 Chapter 267 - No longer angry, at the thought of going to India.

    "My mother lied to me!" Chen Lihua said through gritted teeth.


    "What?" Liu Longwei asked, trying to make sure he heard her clearly.


    Chen Lihua passed the doc.u.ments to him, and he took a look at them.


    The doc.u.ment showed that Lady Chen transferred some shares from Chen group to Chen Lihua.


    After glancing at the doc.u.ment, Liu Longwei seemed to have understood what transpired, so he asked, "Did she tell you that our companies merged?"


    "Yes. And that was what made me agree to get married to you," Chen Lihua said.


    When Lady Chen told Chen Lihua about Liu Longwei, she didn''t agree. So she had told her that the Chen group merged with the Liu Group, and she was just the acting CEO, while Liu Longwei had all the power.


    And this was the reason Chen Lihua listened to her mother without knowing that she had been deceived.


    Now finding out the truth of the whole matter, she had every right to be angry.


    No wonder Lady Chen wanted her to sign those doc.u.ments in a hurry. It was because she didn''t want Chen Lihua to see what that particular doc.u.ment was all about. Otherwise, she would have caused a scene on her Chinese traditional wedding day.


    "How long was she planning to hide this big lie?" Chen Lihua said angrily.


    Liu Longwei sighed before saying calmly, "Don''t be angry anymore, the deed has been done. Are you planning to give up on our marriage after finding out the truth?"


    "No! I never said that. Am just so angry that my mother lied to me. Who knows how many more lies she has said to me through all these?"


    "Lihua, you have to calm down. She is your mother, and I trust that she won''t let you take any step or decision that you would regret," Liu Longwei said as he tried to placate her.


    "Are you saying that my mother made the right decision in getting me married to you?" Chen Lihua asked as she calmed down drastically.


    "Mmm....Of course," Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she hit him playfully on his arm, "Shameless!"


    Liu Longwei stood in front of her and brought her into his arms. And while patting her back, he said in a low husky voice, "Don''t be angry, ok? It''s not good for your health."


    Chen Lihua complained in a muffled voice, "But I don''t want to leave this matter like this, or my mother would continue to toil with me. I need to speak to her."


    "You can''t talk to her in this condition. You are still very angry with her, so I think you should talk to her when we return from our honeymoon," Liu Longwei suggested, while still having her in his arms.


    "That''s right, our honeymoon. We are leaving for India tomorrow," Chen Lihua said excitedly while raising her head to look at Liu Longwei.


    "Are you excited about going for our honeymoon, or going to India?" Liu Longwei asked with raised brows.


    "Of course its India. Oh! And I need to get my henna done," Chen Lihua said with brightly lit eyes, while gently pushing Liu Longwei away from her.


    Liu Longwei watched as the woman pushed herself away from his embrace while excitedly talking about India.


    ''She must really love India a lot,'' He thought to himself as he listened to her talk about India.


    "I don''t know any henna artist in the country. How do I get one in such a short time?" Chen Lihua said with a frown.


    Then she raised her head and looked at the man that had been staring at her and said to him.


    "Longwei, pack your bags and wait for me, while I contact a henna artist and get my luggage ready," Chen Lihua instructed as she made her way towards the door.


    "Don''t forget to confirm our flight tickets and hotel reservations for our honeymoon," She reminded, before vanishing from his sight.


    Liu Longwei watched the tightly shut doors and sighed to himself.


    She was very angry a few minutes ago, but when I mentioned our honeymoon, she immediately remembered that we are going to India tomorrow. And now she has forgotten about what and who made her angry.


    Well, it''s for the best.


    Liu Longwei didn''t waste time in his study, as he immediately went out to carry out his wife''s instructions.


    He didn''t want to diddle-daddle and have her anger transferred to him, he was not ready to bear any consequences.


    As for Chen Lihua, she immediately got hold of a henna artist in the city, after making some calls.


    After the call, she immediately began to pack her luggage, happily.


    You need to have seen how she was all smiling while packing her things. She was indeed very happy.


    At Liu Huiling''s end, she gathered her and her daughter''s bags with the help of their nanny, ready to travel back to their city of residence.


    As for her husband, he packed his things by himself, while waiting for Liu Huiling to finish.


    He sat on the sofa in the hotel room, lost in thought after he was done handling his things.


    He didn''t even care to see if his wife needed help with the children or with anything at all, rather, he sat by himself, lost in thought.


    He only came back to his senses when his daughters ran towards him with their mother behind them, while calling after him.


    "Daddy....daddy....daddy!" The little girls called out cheerfully.


    A smile returned to the man''s face as he hugged his little girls that ran into his arms.


    He pecked their foreheads and asked, "Are you ready?"


    "Yesss!!!" The girls chorused excitedly.


    The man quickly stood up and held their hands. Then he turned to glance at their mother who had two suitcases in her hands.


    He stopped smiling as soon as he caught sight of her, but Liu Huiling did not even glance at him.


    The man felt that she had changed overnight because the wife he married would have been bombarding him with questions. Like asking why he didn''t help her get the children ready or pack their clothes or maybe asked him to help her to carry one of the bags, but she did neither of them.

 Chapter 268 - A divorce wont be easy.

    She didn''t even spare him a glance, talk more of exchanging words with him.


    He found her change in attitude to be quite surprising.


    The nanny followed behind Liu Huiling as she came out from one of the rooms.


    "Madam, your handbag," She said as she handed the handbag in her hand to Liu Huiling.


    Liu Huiling dropped one of the luggage, the bigger one as she took the handbag from the nanny.


    So the nanny picked up the two pieces of luggage, the one Liu Huiling dropped, and the one her husband left beside the sofa, while the man walked with the children.


    He felt a tinge of emotion and so he took the bags (handbag and one traveling luggage) from Liu Huiling without saying anything.


    Liu Huiling paused in her step as she watched the man snatch the bags from her, and stared into the distance for a while until she was called back by the nanny.


    So she quickly held her daughter''s hands as she walked with them.


    ''At least, his conscience still hasn''t been entirely eaten by a dog,'' Liu Huiling thought to herself.


    While in the car, the man''s phone rang. But on seeing the caller ID, he terminated the call.


    And when his phone rang for the second, and then the third time, he switched off his phone immediately.


    Then he glanced at Liu Huiling only to see that she had her eyes glued to him. So out of guilt, he looked away immediately.


    "Why don''t you answer the call?" Liu Huiling asked, making it the first time she was speaking to him that day.


    "It''s nothing," The man grumbled as he put his phone inside his b.r.e.a.s.t pocket.


    Liu Huiling turned to look out through the window, totally ignoring him throughout their journey.


    Back at the Liu Villa.


    Old Madam Liu said to Madam Liu, who was sitting beside her in a low voice, "This house feels so lonely with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren gone."


    Madam Liu Biyu smiled and replied to her from the side, "Mother if you are bored, maybe you can try taking walks outside, go out to meet your friends, or travel again."


    Old Madam Liu sighed as she replied, "Forget it! I came back from a trip three months ago, my old bones cannot tolerate moving around so much."


    Madam Liu smiled gracefully and said, "Mother, I know you still have years to live on, so you need to have fun."


    "Leave it be, I know that you are just trying to make me happy," Old Madam Liu said with a smile, and Madam Liu smiled back at her.


    "Thankfully, Lihua married into our family successfully," Old Madam Liu said with a big smile on her face.


    "Yes, mother. Yesterday was great! Lihua looked so beautiful in that dress and many people had their eyes on her wherever she went," Madam Liu said cheerfully.


    Old Madam Liu smiled as she said, "I am very pleased with the way she took care of her wedding and didn''t bring shame to both families. My friends kept complimenting me throughout the day. One even asked me to give Lihua''s contact with her, but I dismissed her request. I will not share my granddaughter-in-law with anyone."


    Both ladies chuckled happily.


    "Where is Liu Huang?" Old Madam Liu asked.


    "He is upstairs," Madam Liu answered respectfully.


    "Call him. He has been in the room for so long, and I need to discuss something with him," Old Madam Liu said firmly. So Madam Liu stood to leave to call him, instead of sending a servant.


    Immediately she entered the room, Mr. Liu''s phone started to ring, so as she walked towards it, the bathroom door opened, and Mr. Liu walked out from there, towards her.


    He immediately snatched the phone from her hand and left a quick kiss on her cheek.


    "I have an important call to answer," He whispered as he answered the call and went back into the bathroom.


    Madam Liu heaved a sigh as she sat on the bed to wait for him.


    Five minutes later, Mr. Liu emerged from the bathroom with all smiles. He was surprised to see his wife sitting on the bed.


    "You look excited, what was the call all about?" Madam Liu asked casually.


    "I just snagged a business deal," He answered before changing the topic, "Were you waiting for me?"


    "Oh¡­ Yes. Mother said....." Then Madam Liu proceeded to relay Old Madam Liu''s message to him.


    Mr. Liu nodded and left the bedroom with her.


    As for Aunt Lin, she was currently entertaining a visitor in her house. And the visitor was not just anyone, but her darling ex-fianc¨¦.


    "Lin''er, I must thank you, you did very well. I snagged a lot of contacts that would be beneficial to my business yesterday, and I must thank you for that," Ex-fianc¨¦ said as he happily chugged his tea down.


    "It was nothing," Aunt Lin replied without care.


    To her, she didn''t even do much. The only thing she did was to give him an opportunity, and he made good use of it.


    "How can you say it''s nothing? You don''t know what you''ve done for me," Her ex-fianc¨¦ said gratefully.


    "With the consideration that you are our child''s father; the least I could do was to give you an opportunity," Aunt Lin replied with a hidden smirk.


    Her ex felt so touched that his eyes started to turn red.


    "That''s right, I have a beautiful daughter with my beloved woman."


    "Have you started processing your divorce with your wife?" Aunt Lin asked before taking a sip from her teacup.


    "She is not my wife!" The man said in agitation.


    "Calm down," Aunt Lin said with a smile as she refilled his teacup.


    "Am sorry," The man said before gulping down some content of the teacup.


    "Although I want a divorce from that woman, it''s not just going to be easy," He said truthfully with furrowed brows.


    "Do you need my help?" Aunt Lin asked with a calm smile.

 Chapter 269 - Henna.

    "Do you need my help?" Aunt Lin asked with a calm smile.


    "No don''t worry, I will settle it myself," The man said.


    "Do you have any ideas?" Aunt Lin asked with raised brows.


    "Not yet, but am sure I''ll come up with one," The man said as he slipped into deep thought.


    Back at Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s home.


    Chen Lihua was currently sitting beside the pool in the backyard while getting her henna done, as she listened to a traditional Indian song from the Bluetooth speaker.


    Henna is also known as mehndi. Mehndi is a form of body art originating in Ancient India, in which decorative designs are created on a person''s body. The designs are done using a paste, made from the powdered dry leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis).


    There are many variations and designs for mehndi.


    Women usually apply mehndi designs to their hands and feet, though some, including cancer patients and women with Alopecia, occasionally decorate their scalps. The standard colour of henna is brown, but other design colours such as white, red, black, and gold are sometimes employed.


    But the colour Chen Lihua chose was brown, for she felt that it would look gorgeous on her.


    Mehndi in Indian tradition is typically applied during Hindu weddings, Brahman weddings, Namboodiri weddings, and Hindu festivals like Karva Chauth, Diwali, Navratri Pooja, and Teej. Muslims in the Indian subcontinent also apply Mehndi during Muslim weddings, festivals such as Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.


    In Hindu festivals, many women have Henna applied to their hands and feet and sometimes on the back of their shoulders too; while men have it applied on their arms, legs, back, and chest.


    For women, it is usually drawn on the palm, back of the hand, and on feet, where the design will be clearest due to contrast with the lighter skin on these surfaces, which naturally contain less of the pigment melanin.


    After choosing the design she wanted, the henna artist began to work on her palms.


    "Madam, do you want me to write a name on your palm?" The henna artist asked politely.


    "Can you do that?" Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "Of course, I can write a name if you want me to," The henna artist confirmed with a smile.


    "Ok. Then I want you to write my husband''s name on it," Chen Lihua said excitedly.


    The henna artist smiled and continued to work after Chen Lihua gave her the name to imprint on her palms.


    "Madam, do you want the henna in any other part of your body, like your feet?" The henna artist asked.


    "No... No... No. I will ruin the henna if I apply it to my feet. Wait..... You just said that it can be applied in another part of the body right?" Chen Lihua asked as a mischievous light shone brightly in her eyes.


    The henna artist nodded in confirmation while wondering what Chen Lihua was getting riled up for.


    Chen Lihua immediately sent one of the servants that were waiting upon her to get Liu Longwei for her.


    In a few minutes, Liu Longwei was seen with sunshades over his eyes while walking towards his wife in a black polo and jean.


    "What are you listening to?" Liu Longwei asked as he lowered his face to kiss Chen Lihua on the cheek.


    "It''s an Indian song," Chen Lihua replied happily.


    Liu Longwei nodded and sat beside Chen Lihua, on the seat the servant brought for him.


    "How do you see it?" Chen Lihua asked him, as she showed him her palms excitedly.


    Liu Longwei saw how she looked like an excited little girl, and so didn''t disappoint her with his answer.


    "It''s beautiful," He said while staring at her palms.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua said with a beautiful smile. She seems to like the compliment a lot.


    "Are your eyes alright?" Liu Longwei asked concernedly as he looked at the sunny sky, and back to his wife.


    "It''s kind of ok for now since am under the shade. But I know they will start burning up soon," Chen Lihua replied, while staring at her palms.


    Liu Longwei removed the sunglasses from his eyes, and immediately placed them over Chen Lihua''s eyes, before asking, "You sent for me?"


    "That''s right. I want you to get henna done," Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    Liu Longwei poked her dimples with a finger as he replied, "You want me to get henna done? You can''t be serious. Is it not just for women?"


    Liu Longwei asked at the thought of applying henna on his palms.


    "It''s not only for women. Men do apply it. And am not asking you to apply it on your palms. You can apply it on any other part of your body, like your chest or arms," Chen Lihua explained immediately, having found out that his thoughts were going in a different direction.


    "What if I don''t want it?" Liu Longwei asked, while staring at her.


    Chen Lihua stared back at him with a serious expression on her face.


    Those that watched these two from the side would think that they were doing a staring competition.


    After some seconds, Chen Lihua said domineeringly, "I want you to apply the henna, so you don''t have a choice."


    "Really?" Liu Longwei asked with a smile.


    "Yes, Really!" Chen Lihua confirmed, before turning to look at the woman that was working on her palms to say, "Immediately you are done, work on his chest."


    "What if I want you to do it yourself?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Sweet little boy, you can''t be pulling my legs right now. I''ve got henna on my palms, which hand do you want me to use?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Did you just call me, sweet little boy?" Liu Longwei asked in surprise, not sure if he heard clearly. Or maybe it''s was not actually his wife that said that to him with her mouth because the wife he married didn''t look like she would one day call him that.

 Chapter 270 - Are you satisfied?.

    "Did you just call me, ''sweet little boy''?" Liu Longwei asked in surprise, not sure if he heard clearly. Or maybe it''s was not actually his wife that said that to him with her mouth because the wife he married didn''t look like she would one day call him that.


    "Mmmmm. You are next" Chen Lihua said as she admired the beautiful henna design on the back of her hands.


    Liu Longwei glimpsed at her hands and saw an initial ''LL'', so he asked, "what is that?" not quite sure if what he had in mind, was actually what it truly was.


    "Oh! It''s your initials. Now that I have written your name on my palm, you will have to reciprocate," Chen Lihua said while glancing at him.


    "That won''t be a problem at all," Liu Longwei replied with a smile as he suddenly pulled off his polo to reveal his built chest muscles.


    What a drool-worthy sight to behold?


    Chen Lihua pulled down the sunglasses over her eyes to the bridge of her nose, almost ruining the henna on her fingertips.


    She glanced at Liu Longwei''s chest muscles and then gave a quick sharp look at the female servants nearby, but she wasn''t able to catch anyone peeping at her man. With a wave at her hand, she sent all of them away.


    The servants didn''t dare to go anywhere farther from them, in case their services were required. So they just shifted at a distance where Chen Lihua was satisfied.


    "Jealous?" Liu Longwei whispered to Chen Lihua''s ear with a proud smile on his face.


    "Mmmmm. They shouldn''t be looking at what doesn''t belong to them," Chen Lihua admitted.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly at her declaration of ownership on him.


    ''What a domineering woman,'' He thought to himself.


    While Liu Longwei was getting henna done on his right chest by the middle-aged henna artist; the henna mud on Chen Lihua''s were drying up, about to crack.


    Henna paste is usually applied on the skin using a plastic cone, a paintbrush, or a stick.


    After about 15¨C20 minutes, the mud will dry and begin to crack up. During this time, a mixture of lemon juice and white sugar can be applied over the henna design to remoisten the henna mud so that the henna will stain darker. The designed area is then wrapped with tissue, plastic, or medical tape to lock in body heat, creating a more intense color on the skin. The wrap (not a traditional method), is worn for two to six hours, or sometimes overnight, and then removed.


    When first removed, the henna design is pale to dark orange in color. It gradually darkens through oxidation, over 24 to 72 hours.


    The final color is reddish-brown and can last anywhere from one to three weeks. The duration it lasts depends on the quality and type of henna paste, as well as the body part where it''s applied. On thicker skin, stains are darker and stay longer than thin skin.


    Moisturizing with natural oils, such as olive, sesame seed, or coconut, will also help extend the lifetime of the stain. Skin exfoliation causes the henna tattoo to fade.


    After the henna artist was done with Liu Longwei, she re-moistened the henna mud on him and Chen Lihua, before wrapping those places up.


    Since Chen Lihua had henna on her palms, she couldn''t feed herself during dinner. So she left the work of her feeding to Liu Longwei.


    No one could do that work other than him, because Chen Lihua would prefer he did it for her, then for the servants to feed her.


    Liu Longwei happily fed her. And while feeding her, he felt as if he was feeding a daughter he just adopted. But he didn''t dare to say those words aloud.


    When she was about to have a night bath, Chen Lihua had no choice but to remove the wrap over her palms.


    If not, how could she bathe herself?


    Although she planned to remove the wrap tomorrow morning in other to get a better effect (colors from the henna). It was impossible now that she really had to make use of her hands.


    Liu Longwei wanted to take advantage of the situation by opting to help her scrub, but Chen Lihua rejected his idea without a second thought.


    Who was he trying to deceive?


    She just knew that it would not only end with helping her bath, something else must take place.


    It was either he took advantage of her to sleep with her again, or he teased her senselessly. But she wasn''t ready for either of them.


    Even if Liu Longwei would have a pure mind about helping to scrub her body which was impossible in this situation. She didn''t dare to allow him to wash her body.


    Him helping her to bath this morning, was because she had no other alternative. But as for now, she had other options.


    After their shower, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei laid on the bed, busy with their eyes.


    Chen Lihua was admiring her hands under the lamp, while Liu Longwei was admiring the beauty beside him.


    Chen Lihua turned over to look at him while saying excitedly, "Let me take a look at the henna design on your chest."


    Liu Longwei just stared at her without moving an inch or saying anything.


    Chen Lihua was not in the mood to ask him while he was looking at her that way or maybe trying to figure out what the problem was.


    So she just directly opened his night robe without caring about her composure.


    Well, it was not important to her now. What was currently important to her now was to see the effect of the henna design on her husband''s chest.


    "Are you satisfied now?" Liu Longwei asked the woman who was drawing circles around his chest, where her name was written.


    "Mmmmmm!" Chen Lihua replied happily before turning her back to him.


    Liu Longwei smuggled her body against his chest while breathing in her scent.


    "We didn''t post our wedding pictures on social media," Chen Lihua said while patting his hands that were on her stomach.


    "It''s not a problem, we can always do it at any time," Liu Longwei said and left a kiss on her hair.

 Chapter 271 - Press Conference.

    "It''s not a problem, we can always do it at any time," Liu Longwei said and left a kiss on her hair.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei did not feed the hungry public with their pre-wedding and wedding photos, so they left them in speculation.


    "If you say so," Chen Lihua replied.


    "I can ask Duyi to publicize our wedding photos if you want," Liu Longwei suggested.


    "Tell him to do that tomorrow morning, and he shouldn''t post more than five pictures," Chen Lihua added before closing her eyes.


    "Yes, ma''am," Liu Longwei replied as he left her side to pick up his phone. And after tapping the screen a few times, he laid back down beside his wife and hugged her to sleep.


    While Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were sleeping, Lady Chen and Chen K were busy finalizing plans for a press conference. The press conference was to be held in two days, due to Chen K''s return.


    Although they haven''t announced it to the public yet, and that''s because Chen Lihua was still in the country.


    So they planned to release the news the next day after Chen Lihua boarded the plane, so she won''t find out about it.


    As for Liu Dongmei, she was currently packing her and her daughter''s luggage, for the trip, she would be embarking on, while her husband watched her from the side.


    Remember that Liu Longwei arranged this trip for his sister because of her mischievousness.


    "Stop pouting and help me pack Annabelle''s clothes," Liu Dongmei said to her husband, Mu Boqin.


    "I don''t want you to go, can''t you plead with your brother to let you off this time around?" Mu Boqin asked with a frown.


    "I can''t do that now, but don''t worry, I''ve got a plan hatched out," Liu Dongmei said while displaying a mysterious smile.


    "Tell me, what is it?" Mu Boqin asked with a little excitement in her voice.


    "I just have to travel first. Then in two weeks, I will call my brother to complain. But if he doesn''t listen to me, then I would have to trouble my sister-in-law to intercede on my behalf," Liu Dongmei said.


    Mu Boqin smiled as he totally agreed with her.


    So this couple gave each other a high five at the thought of their plans.


    At Liu Huiling''s side, she went off to another bedroom to sleep, leaving her husband alone for the night.


    She needed a lot of time alone, in other for her to think properly.


    The morning of the next day, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei left for India in Liu Longwei''s private jet.


    While getting dressed in the morning, Chen Lihua needed assistance with wearing the blouse, since it had ropes she needed to tie, at the back.


    Chen Lihua had already made up her mind to wear the Indian saree to travel, and nothing could make her change her mind.


    Since she couldn''t secure the ropes by herself, she asked Liu Longwei to help her. And instead of Liu Longwei to do that quickly, he instead rejoiced at the golden opportunity, he had to take advantage of his wife.


    So, he really took his time getting the ropes tied, and that left Chen Lihua with a red face.


    While Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were boarding the jet, their wedding pictures were released to the long-awaited media, and to the eyes of the public.


    So while the newly married couple were away on their honeymoon, news of their wedding and wedding photos, became the talk of the town.


    There were many positive comments about their wedding and a few negative ones.


    So while this news was trending, another bigger news, countered it.


    It was the news of the press conference hosted by the missing former CEO of the Chen group.


    This particular news caused an uproar around the world. It was unexpected news.


    During the press conference the next day, Chen K only apologized to the public for having disappeared for a few years. Still, he refused to talk about the reason for his disappearance, only that he was caught up in a very difficult situation.


    Since he refused to elaborate more on the cause of his disappearance, the reporters didn''t ask him any more questions about it, instead, they began to have their different speculations.


    Two other questions that were important to the public were asked, and Chen K answered them.


    "Mr. Chen, your daughter, Miss Chen, got married two days ago, were you present at the wedding?" A young female reporter asked.


    "I was present at the wedding, and I even walked my daughter down the aisle," Chen K revealed with a big smile on his face.


    His answer caused a little uproar amongst the reporters. So, they entirely focused their cameras on him and began clicking away to get the best shots as if he would disappear the next minute.


    The second question was this...


    "Mr. Chen, now that you are back, would you go back to being the CEO of Chen Group?"


    "No, my wife will continue to head it, while I watch from the side," Chen K replied with a smile while glancing at Lady Chen, who was standing close to the door of the room, the press conference was going on.


    As for other questions that came up pertaining to his daughter''s wedding, or any news of his disappearance, Chen K refused to answer.


    There were two other important questions the reporters were baffled with, so they tried their luck by asking, but Chen K ignored them.


    "Mr. Chen, when did you come back to reconcile with your family?"


    "Why did you choose this time to have a press conference? Have you been hiding away from the media?"


    Once Chen K was done with answering the questions he felt like replying to, he was immediately surrounded by the Chen family''s bodyguards before the reporters could swarm around him.


    As he walked out of the press conference to meet his wife, with the bodyguards surrounding him, the reporters also hurried after him.


    Even though the reporters didn''t manage to get close to them, they still managed to click a picture of Chen K and Lady Chen together.

 Chapter 272 - Bargaining with her body.

    Even though the reporters didn''t manage to get close to them, they still managed to click a picture of Chen K and Lady Chen together.


    And this picture also appeared on the front cover page of a newspaper.


    The news of this press conference immediately reached Liu Longwei ten minutes into it.


    Listening to the reports, and then back to his happy wife roaming around the streets of India, he felt a headache coming.


    As soon as he ended the call from Asst. Duyi, Chen Lihua looked at the worried look on his face and asked in concern.


    "Why do you have that look on your face, did something happen?"


    Liu Longwei shook his head while holding her hand and said, "Let''s go."


    Chen Lihua gave him a glance, so he smiled before assuring her, "Don''t worry, nothing happened."


    Seeing as he was tight-lipped, Chen Lihua decided not to bother with it.


    So she smiled happily when she sighted a sweet store, and she immediately dragged Liu Longwei with her to go to the sweet store, while the four bodyguards followed them inconspicuously.


    Chen Lihua spent an adventurous time in India with Liu Longwei for three days, before they left for Paris, the city of love.


    And coincidentally, Paris fashion week was going on that week, so Chen Lihua pleaded with Liu Longwei for him to follow her to the show.


    Chen Lihua''s modelling agency contacted her some time back, asking her if she would grace the occasion, as a former Supermodel.  She had given them a vague reply back then.


    She said that if she was in Paris within that period, she would definitely attend, and if not, she wouldn''t be present.


    And now that she was in Paris, she made up her mind to go for the show, but not without Liu Longwei.


    "You can go ahead, I will just wait for you to return," Liu Longwei said to her.


    Chen Lihua cajoled him in several ways, but he still refused to bulge, so she decided to go with her last card.


    "Longwei, please follow me to the Paris Fashion Week, I promise I will give you what you want."


    Liu Longwei glanced at her while asking, "how are you sure that you know what I want?"


    "Don''t you want to sleep with me?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei sighed as he said, "Yes, I want to sleep with you."


    "That''s what I''m saying. You just have to follow me to the show, and then you can sleep with me," Chen Lihua said self-righteously.


    "Are you bargaining with your body now?" Liu Longwei asked, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh.


    He was supposed to have rights over her body, she was his lawfully wedded wife for crying out loud. But now, he was being extorted just to touch and do as he pleased with her body.


    Where was this ever heard of?


    "You can say that," Chen Lihua said without denying his words, as she looked at the henna designs on her palms.


    "Oh. You seem to have healed a lot since you want to trade your body to me for my company," Liu Longwei said with a smirk.


    This woman told him that he couldn''t have s.e.x with her for some days, till she has healed completely. When he asked her how many days he had to wait in the morning, they were to embark on their honeymoon journey, she said two weeks.


    He was indeed shocked by her answer, but he had no choice but to believe her. It wasn''t like he would start making calls to find out if what she said was true, it would be very embarrassing if he did that.


    But it totally slipped his mind to check the Internet when he had no option, so he allowed himself to be deceived.


    But now, here she, Chen Lihua, was trying to trade her ''not healed'' body for him just so he would accompany her.


    Does this woman take me for a fool?


    Who is she trying to play mind games with?


    "It''s not like I have healed. Am just doing this because I want you to escort me," Chen Lihua replied half-heartedly.


    Liu Longwei stared at her for some seconds. Then he sighed before giving in to her, while calmly thinking if this woman would fulfil her end of the bargain.


    That morning, Chen Lihua contacted her modelling agency. They told her that they would arrange for her to come to the fashion show the evening of the next day, which Chen Lihua happily obliged to.


    And because she was a well-known supermodel, and favour was in her sight, Michael Cinco, a Dubai based designer, gave her a dress to walk the runway.


    Chen Lihua would never refuse the opportunity to walk down the runway at this moment.


    Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco is best known for his fabulous couture gowns. His innate creativity and masterful techniques have catapulted him to the front ranks of fashion.


    He had cultivated a dedicated following for the luxe and intricacy of his designs, with their fresh, elegant, and detailed juxtapositions of fabric and Swarovski crystals.


    Michael''s celebrity clients include Beyonc¨¦, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, and a lot more of them.


    Chen Lihua was also one of his clients.


    Michael Cinco and Chen Lihua''s wedding gown designer, Delmas Andrien, had a thing for using Swarovski crystals for their dress designs.


    The next day during the makeup section just before the show, Chen Lihua''s palms were covered with a fancy glove that had crystals.


    The hand gloves were made the previous day, so it would be able to hide the henna on Chen Lihua''s palms.


    The glove weren''t supposed to be a part of the dress, but it just turned out well.


    That was made possible by a fashionista.


    Chen Lihua''s model friends were so happy to see her after she quit her modelling career.


    Gigi and Kendall were present, and they welcomed her happily. But they refrained from speaking about her wedding.


    Chen Lihua had mixed emotions, seeing herself where she used to belong after so many months.


    She kind of missed this aspect of her life, even though she had quit on her own.

 Chapter 273 - Liu Longwei took pity on her.

    After the show, Chen Lihua was surrounded by a horde of reporters, throwing her lots of questions.


    But she was quite lucky that she was favored because her former agency, sent two bodyguards to protect her. And given that Liu Longwei was present, he wouldn''t allow anything to happen to his wife.


    When the reporters asked about her marriage, she dragged Liu Longwei to stand beside her, as she happily introduced him to them.


    Back at their hotel room, Liu Longwei sat on the sofa and said while removing his cufflinks, "You looked so happy today."


    Chen Lihua smiled while pulling off her heels, "Yes. I miss all of this."


    "If you like modeling so much, why did you quit?" Liu Longwei asked.


    That was the question he was confused about. His wife had something she loved doing, then why did she quit it?


    Chen Lihua sighed before she started to explain.


    "In as much as I love modeling, I still can''t continue with it because of my profession. I can''t do these two tasking things at the same time, it''s impossible."


    "You like modeling and surgery at the same time? Well, there''s no how you would be able to do the two at the same time, it doesn''t match," Liu Longwei said.


    "Yes, so that''s why I had to choose one. So I chose saving lives, over entertaining them," Chen Lihua replied.


    "I know it is kind of difficult to choose between two things you really love doing. But since you''ve already made your choice, you will have to forget about it, don''t think too much about it," Liu Longwei advised.


    "Mmmmm. I know," Chen Lihua said and smiled at the end of his speech.


    After Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had their bath separately, they both laid on the bed to sleep.


    A few seconds later, after Chen Lihua had shut her eyes, she felt a hand rubbing her arm, but she ignored it.


    But when she felt the hand start to misbehave, she opened her eyes immediately and turned to face the naughty man.


    "Longwei, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Chen Lihua asked softly.


    "Am trying to redeem my present," Liu Longwei answered as his hand started to slide from his wife''s h.i.p.s to her laps.


    Chen Lihua swatted his naughty hand away, and asked while putting on a front, "What kind of present do you want to redeem at this time of the night?"


    Liu Longwei halted his hand that was about making contact with her body.


    "Why are you pretending as if you don''t know?"


    "Well, I really don''t know," Chen Lihua feigned ignorance.


    "Since you don''t know, then let me spell it out for you. You said that you will give me what I want, and that is to sleep with you if I followed you to the Paris fashion show. And now, I want to sleep with you since I have fulfilled the other side of the bargain," Liu Longwei said.


    "Oh! That? I totally forgot about that. Isn''t a husband supposed to give in to his wife''s demands most of the time? So must you settle scores with me?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei scoffed, "You made the bargain and fixed the price, I didn''t assist you with any of it. The only thing I did was to fulfill the part you asked of me. And now that I want to redeem my gifts, you are now telling me bullshit? You must be joking."


    From Liu Longwei''s temperament now, Chen Lihua found out that he was really set to sleep with her this night.


    So for her to evade him this night, she had to come up with something more convincing.


    "Ok, I agree that I said I would allow you to sleep with me. But I never mentioned the day you would be allowed to that," Chen Lihua said innocently.


    Liu Longwei was left momentarily speechless for a while.


    He was a bit angry, his wife was trying to get away from his grasp and also trick him.


    "You must be joking with me!" Liu Longwei spoke angrily.


    "But am serious," Chen Lihua said softly when she saw the anger in his eyes.


    Liu Longwei stared at her for a while before suddenly sitting up on the bed.


    Then in a flash, he removed Chen Lihua''s nightdress, leaving a stark n.a.k.e.d woman with only her pant, in the bed.


    Chen Lihua was shocked and beyond speechless.


    She saw Liu Longwei removing her pajamas, she immediately knew that there was no escaping this night. So she asked panicky because she was scared at how fast he stripped himself.


    "Longwei calms down, do you really want to sleep with me?"


    "We are already at this stage, and you are still asking that kind of question?" Liu Longwei asked as he sucked on her neck hard.


    Chen Lihua hissed in a low voice, over the slight pain she felt on her neck.


    When she saw that things had become serious, she started apologizing and pleading with him, "Longwei am really sorry, I just wanted to tease you a bit. Please slow down."


    "Who are you trying to deceive? If I had not taken action now, you would have been sleeping by now, so cut the crap," Liu Longwei said as he continued to suckle on her neck and to her chest area.


    Chen Lihua was indeed shocked by Liu Longwei''s temper. She had never seen this before.


    But seeing him like this, she just knew that she had provoked him and that there was nothing she could do to stop him.


    The only thing she could do for herself now was to find a way to placate him, so he would take it easy on her if not, she would be the one to bear the consequences of her earlier actions.


    ''Why did I have to play this type of game with him,'' Chen Lihua asked herself.


    "Darling slow down, you are hurting me," Chen Lihua said to Liu Longwei in a muffled voice, as she tried to get his sympathy.


    At the thought that his wife had just had s.e.x once, and wasn''t experienced, Liu Longwei decided to take pity on her and slowed down.

 Chapter 274 - A troubled heart.

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei traveled to one more country before they finally called it ''the end of their honeymoon''.


    Their honeymoon may have been short, but it was quite well spent.


    At the thought of going back home, Liu Longwei began to have a headache.


    Chen Lihua still wasn''t aware that her father was alive, and that he even had a press conference while she was away.


    Looking at the timing of the press conference, it''s undeniable that it was done on purpose so that she wouldn''t be around to cause trouble.


    They were truly avoiding her troubles.


    Liu Longwei was at a loss of what to do. He couldn''t delete the news feed because he didn''t have the right to, and neither could he stop the public from talking about it.


    His wife''s temper was like a ticking time bomb. He never knows when it will explode.


    "Are you alright?" Chen Lihua asked the man that was spacing out.


    She had been talking to him for a while now, but it looked like he didn''t hear a word she said.


    "Am good, just thinking about work," Liu Longwei lied smoothly.


    "Oh...you don''t need to think about it, because we are almost home," Chen Lihua said.


    ''Exactly because we are almost home, that''s why I''m worried,'' Liu Longwei said to himself.


    "These days, I''ve just been having fun and all the time to myself, forgetting that I have a major surgery to perform in a few days. You have really led me astray," Chen Lihua said the last part of her sentence looking at Liu Longwei.


    "Me?" Liu Longwei asked as he pointed to himself, and Chen Lihua nodded her head to confirm that she was referring to him.


    "You dare to blame me for all the fun you had? I would have to teach you a lesson," Liu Longwei said in a smile, as he adjusted his position before starting to tickle her.


    Chen Lihua laughed hard and pleaded with him while trying to avoid his fingers.


    "Am sorry....am sorry...Longwei am sorry!" Chen Lihua cried out.


    "Naughty girl!" Liu Longwei chided her lovingly as he stopped tickling her. He then lowered his head to kiss her lips.


    Surprisingly, Chen Lihua kissed him back.


    "You are very good at kissing now," Liu Longwei praised her happily in-between the kisses.


    "And that''s because you are teaching me well," Chen Lihua retorted shamelessly, as she kissed his lips.


    The two engaged in a passionate kiss for a while before parting.


    Liu Longwei licked his lips seductively while staring at his wife.


    "Stop it!" Chen Lihua said embarrassingly, while softly hitting his chest.


    "Why? Are you feeling anything? Should we do a little exercise?" Liu Longwei asked, sending a wink across her way.


    Chen Lihua blushed profusely. She would be lying if she said she didn''t feel anything when Liu Longwei was seducing her. It was really difficult for her to resist him, but she had to.


    She couldn''t also admit her feelings right now, otherwise, he might really take her right there, because admitting to it, was like giving him a signal to go on.


    "Go away," Chen Lihua replied playfully.


    "Just admit it, you want me," Liu Longwei said with a smug look on his face.


    "Ok, I agree that I want you, but not here," Chen Lihua admitted without a choice.


    Liu Longwei smiled, licked his lips, and winked at her.


    "Come on, no one would see us, I will bring down the curtain," Liu Longwei suggested.


    There was a curtain that could demarcate between where Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were sitting, from where the rest of the crew (pilot, hostesses, and bodyguards) were.


    So if Liu Longwei drew the curtains down, the rest of the crew wouldn''t be able to see a thing that would happen at that side.


    "It''s hard to keep my voice low. I can do this anywhere, but not while flying," Chen Lihua said.


    "Are you serious?" Liu Longwei asked in a playful smile.


    "Mmmhmm," Chen Lihua hummed in response.


    Liu Longwei just smiled and let her be.


    "China, here I come!" Chen Lihua shouted excitedly when the pilot announced that they just entered China.


    Liu Longwei felt a little scared in his heart. Initially, he was carried away by the fun he was having, forgetting that he had a matter to be worried about.


    In country C, it was inevitable that Chen Lihua would see or hear the news about her father somewhere. So hiding it was basically out of the picture.


    He would just have to find a way to deal with it when she finds out. He didn''t even know if he should run away from the house, giving a work excuse.


    Liu Longwei sighed to himself, he was exhausted.


    When the private Jet touched the grounds of the Airport, Chen Lihua, who now had sunglasses over eyes, came down with assistance from one of the bodyguards.


    She smiled while breathing in the fresh air at the airport.


    She looked so happy to be home at last.


    Liu Longwei came down after her with sunglasses over his eyes and with a hat, shawl, and a nose mask in his hands.


    He placed the hat on Chen Lihua''s hair, and also wrapped the shawl around her neck before handing the nose mask to her.


    Chen Lihua thanked him with a smile as she put on the nose mask, while Liu Longwei put on his, at the same time.


    ''She looks very happy to be home, but what will happen in the next hours to come might be a regret for her,'' Liu Longwei thought.


    Coming out from the ''Arrivals'' with Chen Lihua and with the bodyguards following them closely, Liu Longwei made sure to keep Chen Lihua''s eyes off the TV and to distract her from listening to the news.


    Liu Longwei sighed in relief when they got into the car successfully. But it was too early for him to relax, because the next moment, a picture of Chen Lihua''s father, showed on the electronic announcement/advert billboard.


    His eyes widened in shock, so Chen Lihua asked him what the problem was while trying to look out through her side of the car''s window, following his sight.

 Chapter 275 - Chen Lihua finds out about her father.

    His eyes widened in shock, so Chen Lihua asked him what the problem was while trying to look out through her side of the car''s window, following his sight.


    Liu Longwei stopped her in-time by holding her cheeks and kissing her.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Chen Lihua asked in shock as she wiped her lips while looking between Liu Longwei and the driver with the bodyguard in the front passenger seat.


    "I just wanted to kiss you," Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him while muttering under her breath, "Who would kiss someone out of the blue?"


    "Me~," Liu Longwei replied while fixing his gaze on her.


    Chen Lihua didn''t dwell on the matter anymore, she just looked out through the winded glass.


    When they got home, they freshened up immediately.


    Instead of staying around to chat with his wife; Liu Longwei disappeared into the study with the excuse of having lots of work piled up on his desk.


    Chen Lihua found it weird that he would be rushing off to work immediately they came back, but she didn''t stop him.


    It''s been a while since she last checked up the latest updates and news in the country or her social media page.


    She''s been busy having fun for the past few days, and now it was time for her to update herself with the latest happenings in the country.


    Switching back to her home sim, there were lots of vibrations coming from her phone, which were mostly notifications of text messages.


    "Wow! It seemed like I''ve missed a lot," Chen Lihua said to herself in a smile.


    She saw some SMS notifications on her phone, and most of them started with, ''Congratulations Lihua, on a family reunion....''


    ''Lihua dear, congratulations to you...''


    ''I saw the news about your father on TV, con....''


    Chen Lihua was baffled when she saw the last text because her attention was caught by the word, ''Your father.''


    "What is this one talking about? What news about my father?" Chen Lihua asked herself with a little fear in her heart as she opened the text to read.


    And what she saw shocked her.


    With shivering hands and a confused mind, Chen Lihua exited the SMS App before going to check on the news feed.


    The more she browsed, the more shocked she became with the news headlines.


    ''Former CEO of the Chen group makes a reappearance.''


    ''Chen group''s former CEO is back and alive.''


    ''Mr. Chen is back and holds a press conference immediately after...''


    "Dad....dad is alive?" Chen Lihua asked herself as tears filled her eyes.


    She clicked on one of the headlines with shaky fingers, and there, another caption caught her eyes.


    ''In the press conference, Mr. Chen said he was present at his daughter''s wedding ceremony.''


    "He came to my wedding, how come I didn''t know about it?" Chen Lihua asked herself as tears rolled down her cheeks.


    It seemed like something came to her mind because she immediately stopped scrolling down her phone, lost in thought.


    She recalled that her mother had introduced her to one of her father''s close friends, Mr. Gu, as the person that would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.


    But that person didn''t look like her father that much, apart from a distinct similarity. Chen Lihua thought as she scrolled down on her phone, only for her to see a recent picture of her father, sitting at a table in the press conference and surrounded by reporters.


    Something dawned on her, ''Unless he disguised himself,'' Chen Lihua thought as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    This time around, she cried uncontrollably. She felt angry, sad, and shocked all at the same time. She felt like she had been betrayed.


    She couldn''t bear to look at the news anymore, so she threw her phone away, and it landed on the glass window of Liu Longwei''s bedroom.


    Liu Longwei immediately rushed into the bedroom when he heard the shattering sound that came from the glass.


    "Lihua...Lihua what is it, are you hurt?" He asked worriedly as he hurriedly rushed to her side, and enveloped her in an embrace.


    Chen Lihua embraced him and cried more uncontrollably. She cried because she felt hurt and betrayed.


    No one ever mentioned to her that her father was still alive. He even came for her wedding and walked her down the aisle without her knowledge.


    "Did you know about my father?" Chen Lihua asked in a hoarse voice, as she left his embrace to look at his face with teary eyes.


    "Mmmm," Liu Longwei hummed in response while staring at her worriedly.


    "And you didn''t care to inform me?" Chen Lihua asked in between sobs.


    Seeing how quiet he was, Chen Lihua knew that he was guilty.


    "You are just like everyone else, you are so mean like them. Do you all take me for a child?! You all play with my feelings and treat me like a child! Everything is done without my permission. My life is planned without my knowledge, and when things happen, I am left unawares. What do I mean to all of you?!" Chen Lihua barked with reddened eyes.


    And when Liu Longwei tried to embrace her, she pushed him away.


    "Don''t touch me!" She screamed.


    Liu Longwei sighed and did not try to touch her anymore while trying to explain to her.


    "Lihua it''s not like that. We don''t devalue or undermine you. We only did what we thought was best for you, we didn''t mean to hurt you."


    "You all didn''t mean to hurt me? Then why the f**k is my heart hurting, why is it hurting?" Chen Lihua asked as she grabbed his palm to place on her chest.


    "Do you even understand what am going through now? My mother controls my life with the excuse that she is doing what''s best for me. My father ...forget that one. And you, you keep me in the dark because you think is best for me. What is wrong with all of you?!"

 Chapter 276 - Tricked by her mother.

    "Do you even understand what am going through now? My mother controls my life with the excuse that she is doing what''s best for me. My father ...forget that one. And you, you keep me in the dark because you think is best for me. What is wrong with all of you?!"


    After letting out these words, Chen Lihua pushed his hand away from her chest, before getting into the bed, and snuggling into the sheets, still crying.


    Liu Longwei''s heartfelt extremely embittered, seeing his wife so sad.


    Normally, she would break things and shout whenever she was angry to let out her emotions. But this time around, she cried instead of her usual way of throwing tantrums.


    And this could only mean that she was deeply hurt and affected by what happened.


    Liu Longwei blamed himself a little, but there was nothing he could do in that situation.


    He couldn''t ruin their honeymoon with that kind of news, it wasn''t worth the price or exchange.


    He could only watch helplessly as Chen Lihua cried her heart out.


    As he watched Chen Lihua cry the more, he felt an excruciating pain in his heart, and so he couldn''t bear to watch her cry any longer.


    He decided to do anything within his capability, to stop his wife from crying, even if it meant him getting beaten up by her.


    He wouldn''t mind at all if she gets to vent the anger within her on him. As long as she would stop crying and be okay, he was willing to do anything for her.


    "Lihua, look am so sorry. I didn''t want to ruin our honeymoon, and that''s the reason I didn''t tell you about your father, even though I knew about it. You were having so much fun, how could bear to ruin your happy mood? Sweetheart, please stop crying, I''m really sorry okay?" Liu Longwei explained and apologized while hugging her body with the sheets wrapped around her.


    Chen Lihua didn''t move an inch or say anything to him at least that meant that she didn''t reject him.


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh of relief internally, as he continued to hold her in his arms.


    "You all are so mean! No wonder my mom asked me that question on the eve to our wedding. She was indirectly seeking my permission for him to walk me down the aisle, and I stupidly agreed not knowing anything," Chen Lihua recounted bitterly.


    Liu Longwei continued holding on tightly to her while allowing her to say her mind. He didn''t dare to interrupt her for fear of raising her emotions again, just as she started to become calm.


    "I can''t believe I was fooled by my mother so easily. I thought I had a high IQ, but no, I guess it''s just for fancy. If I could be fooled this easily, then I am a BIG FOOL!" Chen Lihua scolded herself angrily.


    "Sweetheart, you are not a fool. It wasn''t your fault that you listened to your mother because you trusted her. And there was no way you would have felt that something was up because that was the eve to our wedding, and so everyone was busy with one task or the other. And your thoughts were towards our big day, so you shouldn''t blame yourself, so, stop crying," Liu Longwei said, trying to console her.


    "But I can''t seem to stop crying. My father reappeared after five years of having thought he died, and only for him to come back this time around, healthy and sound. I used to hate him a lot, but after a talk with my mother that night, I started to hate him less. And because I thought he was dead, I decided to let bygones be bygones. But now that I am aware that he is still breathing, I really can''t tell my emotions right now," Chen Lihua said as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Sweetheart, if I am to tell you the truth, then I really must tell you, forgive your father and forget whatever happened in the past. It''s useless holding grudges of the past that won''t repeat itself again when you already have a present and a future ahead of you. You need to concentrate and spend your energy on your present and future. You will see that your heart and mind will feel so free and light once you let go of all the grudges you have in your heart against him," Liu Longwei advised.


    Chen Lihua sniffed as her crying reduced a lot. Liu Longwei''s advice seemed to have sunk right into her head.


    She turned her body to face him and said while staring right into his eyes, "Since my parents got together, they haven''t even tried to contact me. I bet they are too busy spending time with each other to bother with me."


    Liu Longwei sighed while patting her back, "I don''t think so. I think they are busy thinking and worried about how to contact you since they have hurt you."


    "Really? You think they are worried about me?" Chen Lihua asked with a little hope in her eyes.


    "Of course. If you hurt someone you love, won''t you be feeling bad and worried?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Of course I will be worried, and start thinking of how to contact the person," Chen Lihua replied while wiping her tears away.


    "Good, because that''s how your parents are feeling right now," Liu Longwei assured her.


    After talking to her, Liu Longwei only left her side when he was sure she had fallen asleep.


    His phone rang, and he immediately left the bedroom with it for fear that Chen Lihua would be awakened by the noise.


    Outside the bedroom, Liu Longwei answered the call after looking at the caller ID.


    "Hello, Mom," Liu Longwei greeted.


    "Hello Longwei, how are you and Hua''er doing? I heard that you two are back to the country," Lady Chen said from the other end of the phone.

 Chapter 277 - Coconut Ladoos.

    "Hello, Mom," Liu Longwei greeted.


    "Hello Longwei, how are you and Hua''er doing? I heard that you two are back to the country," Lady Chen said from the other end of the phone.


    Liu Longwei sighed, "We are fine."


    "Am sure you''ve seen the news about Lihua''s father, does she know?" Lady Chen asked worriedly.


    "Yes, she just found out about it."


    "So¡­so, how did she take the news?"


    Liu Longwei went ahead to summarize what happened and then added this sentence at the end.


    "....But she is fast asleep now."


    Lady Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and Chen K, who had been sitting beside her, asked, "What did he say, is our daughter, okay?"


    "For now, yes. She just cried herself to sleep," Lady Chen replied to him, before going back to her conversation with Liu Longwei.


    "Longwei please take care of her. We will come to see her in the evening, and please tell her that we are sorry, and we love her."


    "No problem, mom. I will relay your message and also take good care of her," Liu Longwei assured Lady Chen.


    Seeing that she was done with the call, Chen K said with a tinge of regret in his voice, "if I knew that things would turn out to be this way, I would have come back a long time ago and apologized to her. But I was afraid that she wouldn''t want to see me, but now, I bet the hatred she had for me has multiplied by hundreds."


    "You are not the only one at fault. I should have at least tried to inform her, but I was also afraid that it would ruin her mood. You really came back at the wrong time. But it''s okay, we will go and see her in the evening, and then talk to her," Lady Chen said, looking at her husband.


    "And that''s if she would agree to meet with us," Chen K said.


    "It won''t be a big deal if she doesn''t agree to me. We can still come back another time. I know the daughter I gave birth to, and I know her character in and out. So I know that she has a soft heart. It may not be easy for her to forgive us, but she will definitely forgive us. She can''t stay mad at us for a long time, we are her parents and her only direct kin in the world," Lady Chen said.


    Chen K sighed as he replied, "I really hope so."


    "I know what she likes, and will prepare it for her. Maybe when she sees it, the resentment in her heart will lessen a lot," Lady Chen said with a smile as an idea popped up in her head.


    "What does she like?" Chen K asked with furrowed brows.


    "She likes Indian sweets, so I will try to prepare some for her," Lady Chen said as a smile turned up on her face.


    "Have you tried making it before?" Chen K asked while gazing at her.


    "No, but I can try," Lady Chen said assuredly.


    "Hmmm. If you know you can''t do it, you''d better leave it and get something else for her. Before we end up annoying her instead of soothing her," Chen K cautioned her.


    "Don''t worry, I will handle it," Lady Chen said before walking away.


    Thirty minutes later, she was done going through the internet for the simplest Indian sweet recipe. Then, she dragged Chen K along as they went shopping to get the ingredients for the recipe.


    "What will you be doing with that coconut you bought?" Chen K asked.


    Now, Chen K and Lady Chen were back from the supermarket and arranging what they bought.


    No servant was in the kitchen with them, as the two didn''t need any help from them in other to make a dish for their beloved daughter.


    "Coconut Ladoos," Lady Chen replied with a smile.


    Coconut Ladoo is a quick and easy Indian sweet where coconut is cooked in milk, sugar, and flavored with ghee and cardamom powder.


    Ingredients for Coconut Ladoo: Desiccated Coconut 11/3 cups (extra for coating), Milk 3/4 cup, Sugar 1/3 cup, Ghee 2 tsps., and Cardamon powder 1/8 tsp.


    PROCEDURE:


    First, take a large pan and saut¨¦ the coconut until it is slightly warm to touch. This basically removes excess moisture from the coconut. But take care to not change the color of the coconut.


    Now add the milk and sugar and mix well. Stir at regular intervals and continue to cook in the medium-low flame until the mixture becomes dry.


    Now add the ghee and give a quick mix. Add the cardamom powder and mix well. Cook, until the mixture, turns slightly sticky and starts to bind with itself.


    Turn off the flame and let it cool down until it is cold enough to touch. Grease your palm with more ghee and roll out the coconut mixture into small balls. Roll the coconut ladoos into some more desiccated coconut. Leave it to cool completely to room temperature.


    So this was the recipe Lady Chen followed from the internet in other to make these mouth-watering coconut ladoo for Chen Lihua.


    "Mmmmmmmmm," Chen K shut his eyes while salivating over the delicious aroma he perceived from the kitchen.


    "Can I have a taste?" Chen K asked while drooling at the sight of the tasty looking coconut ladoos.


    Lady Chen hit the hand that was trying to snatch one of the sweets.


    "Don''t touch it, it''s for our daughter."


    "But at least, I have to take a taste to grade your cooking. What if the sweets are not palatable?" Chen K asked.


    "I don''t need your grading in that way. Besides, you have already graded my cooking by drooling at the sweets. So tell me which other grading are you looking for?" Lady Chen asked with a smirk on her face.


    She actually knew of her husband''s tricks. He was just giving silly excuses, so he could have a bite of the delicious coconut ladoos, but she won''t fall it.


    "Can''t you just give a bite to taste, considering that I helped you out in the kitchen?" Chen K grumbled with furrowed brows.


    "See how you were just wasting your time. Had it been you went straight to the point from the beginning, you would have long been licking your fingers after having a bite from the sweets," Lady Chen said before giving one of the sweets to him.

 Chapter 278 - Making her intentions known.

    "See how you were just wasting your time. Had it been you went straight to the point from the beginning, you would have long been licking your fingers after having a bite from the sweets," Lady Chen said before giving one of the sweets to him.


    Chen K happily took it from her and gobbles it down his throat.


    After relishing the delicious taste of the sweet in his mouth, he gave Lady Chen a thumbs up.


    "Ju Ju, you are indeed a good chef, and am sure our daughter would love this."


    "Thank you, and that''s why we have to hurry up now that the sweets are still hot," Lady Chen said while packaging the sweets in a flask.


    As for Chen Lihua whom they had been doing all these for, she just woke up from sleep only to hear familiar music, playing on the CMS (Central music system). An Indian song was playing.


    "Where did Longwei get this from?" Chen Lihua asked herself as her heart lightened up in happiness.


    Just then, Liu Longwei came into the bedroom to see his wife sitting up on the bed and smiling to herself.


    "You seem happy," Liu Longwei said just as he went to sit beside her on the bed.


    "Where did you get this song from?" Chen Lihua asked in a smile.


    This was the least she expected Liu Longwei to do, downloading an Indian song for her.


    "I just browsed about Indian songs on the Internet, and randomly downloaded one, do you like it?" Liu Longwei asked in a smile.


    "Of course I like it, thank you," Chen Lihua replied as she hugged him to express her feelings.


    "So, are you okay now?" Liu Longwei asked as he returned the hug.


    Chen Lihua sighed before humming.


    "But am still angry with my parents," She said.


    "Don''t worry, with time, you will forgive them," Liu Longwei said while staring at her face.


    Chen Lihua released him from her embrace after she sighed again.


    Liu Longwei said, while patting her head, "I love you."


    "I love you too," Chen Lihua replied cheerfully.


    Liu Longwei pecked her lips happily and then had to pick up his phone because it began to ring.


    After listening for a few seconds, he put his phone back into his trouser pocket and said to Chen Lihua.


    "Your parents are here to...see you," Liu Longwei announced hesitantly, and immediately the smile on Chen Lihua''s face disappeared.


    "I will not see them," Chen Lihua declared as she immediately laid back on the bed, and used the duvet to cover her body.


    Liu Longwei sighed. "I will go and check upon them," He said before leaving the room.


    Immediately he left, Chen Lihua sat back on the bed and started sulking.


    Downstairs, Liu Longwei greeted Lady Chen and Chen K with a polite smile.


    Since he was not that familiar with Chen K, his father-in-law, their conversation had a little restraint to it but was not awkward.


    "Where is Lihua?" Lady Chen asked when she waited for a few seconds, after not seeing her daughter following behind her son-in-law.


    Seeing the awkward look at Liu Longwei''''s face, Lady Chen smiled and asked, not making things different for him.


    "She refused to meet us?"


    Liu Longwei nodded.


    "That''s fine. Please pass this flask to her. We made an Indian sweet for her," Lady Chen said while passing the packaged flask to Liu Longwei who accepted it with both hands.


    After keeping the flask on a stool beside him, Lady Chen spoke up.


    "I know I haven''t formally introduced you to Lihua''s father. This is my husband, and Lihua''s father, whom we thought was dead for the past five years but came back alive after so many years."


    Liu Longwei greeted and shook hands with Chen K, while the latter assessed him with his eyes.


    "Stop staring at him like that. He is already married to our daughter, and you were present at the wedding. Longwei here is my good friend''s son, and after examining him, I hooked him up with our daughter. So whatever you are doing now has no meaning," Lady Chen said whilst rolling her eyes at her husband.


    Chen K coughed awkwardly as he shifted uncomfortably on the seat.


    ''What is wrong with this woman, did she have to rat me out like that?'' Chen K asked himself


    Liu Longwei smiled while reserving his comment.


    "Darling, what are you doing? You''ve been out for so long, and I''ve been waiting for you."


    The three heads turned towards the direction they heard the familiar voice of Chen Lihua from, but they didn''t see a single soul in sight, even after waiting for a few seconds.


    The excited looks on Lady Chen and Chen K''s face disappeared as they found out that their daughter wasn''t coming out to meet them.


    "I will be there soon," Liu Longwei replied into the distance, before turning to look at Chen Lihua''s parents with an awkward smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua really knew how to put him in an awkward situation.


    She purposely stayed hidden while talking to him.


    It was very obvious that she wanted her parents to know that she wasn''t interested and willing to see them. She needed to do that just in case Liu Longwei didn''t make her intentions known to them clearly.


    "I think we should be on our way," Lady Chen announced, smiling while dragging her frowning husband up on the arm.


    "Tell her that we love her, and sincerely ask for her forgiveness," Lady Chen said to Liu Longwei before sitting in the car.


    "Take care of my daughter," Chen K said with a serious look.


    Liu Longwei nodded obediently and entered back into the house after bidding them farewell.


    Just as he looked forward, he saw Chen Lihua standing in front of the entrance of their house.


    Lady Chen and Chen K saw Chen Lihua as well when their car started driving off.


    "Should we stop to see her?" Chen K asked his wife with his eyes still looking behind.

 Chapter 279 - Chen Lihua request for a chopper.

    "Should we stop to see a chopper asked his wife with his eyes still looking behind.


    "There is no need. You don''t know who your daughter is, she will just go back inside the house when she sees our car come to a stop," Lady Chen said with a smile.


    Chen K felt that what his wife said was true, so he didn''t insist anymore.


    "What are you doing out here?" Liu Longwei asked his woman, who still had her eyes on her parent''s car.


    "I came to see if the unwanted visitors had left," Chen Lihua said while returning a glance at Liu Longwei before going back into the house.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly before following after her.


    "What''s this?" Chen Lihua asked while pointing towards the packaged flask.


    "Your mum said they prepared Indian sweets for you," Liu Longwei said as he passed the flask to her.


    Chen Lihua immediately took the flask from him and opened it. The aroma from the sweets wafted into her nostrils.


    "Wow! But who asked them to do this?" Chen Lihua asked before sitting down on the couch with the flask in hand.


    She didn''t seem that she would let anyone take the flask from her.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he watched her pick one of the coconut ladoos and take a bite from it.


    It didn''t look like she wasn''t enjoying herself, because she even closes her eyes while eating the sweets.


    "Do you like it?" Liu Longwei asked while sitting beside her.


    "Of course I love it!" Chen Lihua announced with her mouth full of food.


    "Have a bite," Chen Lihua said while picking up one roll of coconut ladoo and passing it to him. Then Liu Longwei lowered his head to take a bite.


    "Mmmmm... Delicious," Liu Longwei muttered.


    "I didn''t know my mum would go this far to make me forgive them. She has never made any Indian dish for me before," Chen Lihua said.


    "So, have you forgiven your parents seeing the effort they put in to make you happy?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "No! These Indian sweets will go well with the Indian song that was playing earlier. Am going back to the bedroom," Chen Lihua said, changing the topic, as she stood up to leave.


    Liu Longwei just sat on the sofa and watched her leave. But he knew that Chen Lihua''s heart had softened, and she might have forgiven her parents, but was probably pretending not to have.


    "Follow me if you want some of the coconut ladoos," Chen Lihua''s voice came through.


    The next day, Liu Longwei went back to work, while Chen Lihua stayed back at home, doing some research, as she was to come into work the next day.


    So while working on her laptop, she received an emergency call from the hospital, there was an emergency surgery that needed attention from the hospital.


    Chief Surgeon Song was out in the outskirts of the city where he went to perform a surgery in another hospital, and wouldn''t be able to make it back in time.


    As for the deputy Chief surgeon, he gave an excuse that he was tired because he just came out from surgery two hours ago.


    As for the other cardiologist remaining, they also had one excuse or the other.


    One went with the Chief surgeon to the outskirts of the city. Some of the others that participated in the surgery with the deputy chief surgeon wanted to rest as well. They felt they were not fit to stand another long operation again according to them.


    While the remaining cardiothoracic surgeons we''re not fit to lead a surgery, they would only do well with assisting.


    So when Dr. Song got this news, he asked for Chen Lihua to be summoned with immediate effect. Since she was back in the country, and because she was the only one fit to handle the surgery, and they could rely on now.


    Chen Lihua gave a positive response and immediately asked them to get the theatre ready for the operation.


    After the call from the hospital, she called Liu Longwei immediately, and when he picked, she didn''t wait for him to say anything.


    "Hello Longwei, I have emergency surgery at the hospital right now, please can you send me a Heli?"


    "Of course, it will be there in five minutes," Liu Longwei said quickly, as he didn''t want to waste any more of her time, on learning that she was in a hurry from her rapid breathing.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua said and ended the call, before going to change her attire since the short skirt she was putting on, wasn''t appropriate, and also to get her lab coat and work bag.


    So, she just wore a white trouser and came out of the room.


    And by the time she went to the rooftop, the helicopter was already there waiting for her.


    "This way madam", a bodyguard said while showing Chen Lihua the way with his hand.


    When Chen Lihua was about climbing in, the bodyguard assisted her.


    Within five minutes, the helicopter landed on the helipad on the hospital''s rooftop.


    "Dr. Chen, the theatre, has already been prepped. Your assistant surgeon and the rest of the team are already waiting for you," A nurse said as she received Chen Lihua.


    "Put me through about the patient," Chen Lihua said while putting on her coat as the nurse took her bag from her.


    "The female patient has a heart disease involving her heart valve in her arteries, and she was transferred from a local hospital. But there was a misinterpretation of the date she was supposed to be transferred, and that''s is why we are in this situation now," The nurse explained.


    "That''s ok, please continue," Chen Lihua said while trying her hair as they entered the elevator.


    The nurse then proceeded to continue briefing her on the patient.


    When they reached the theatre, Chen Lihua went into the room by the side to wash her hands.


    She prepped herself up for the surgery, and then immediately she entered the theatre.

 Chapter 280 - Open heart surgery.

    The nurse then proceeded to continue briefing her on the patient.


    When they reached the theatre, Chen Lihua went into the room by the side to wash her hands.


    She prepped herself up for the surgery, and then immediately she entered the theatre.


    Chen Lihua immediately addressed the people that would be assisting her with the surgery briefly before they started.


    "We are here today to fix her leaky heart valve and the two bypasses that will restore proper flow to the heart, and I think this will help improve her shortness of breath and reduce her risk of heart failure and heart attacks in the future."


    The patient was transferred from another hospital outside of City B for further management.


    The patient had shortness of breath when she came in. It was evaluated then with cardiac catheterization. This test revealed that she had the severe coronary disease and two of her blood vessels. Also, she had a valve which was like a one-way door that was completely busted.


    At the beginning of the surgery, Chen Lihua opened the sternum to gain access to the heart.


    When she got to the valve, she examined it to see if it was fixable or not. If it wasn''t fixable, an animal valve would be used for replacement instead of an artificial valve because of her (the patient) age.


    The female patient was in her early seventies.


    In heart surgery, the heart is not removed from the patient. Instead, the doctors get the heart to stop beating so they could work on it, and that is done by attaching the patient to a heart-lung machine, just like what Chen Lihua did with this particular patient.


    A heart-lung machine is a complex machine that is run by a cardiovascular perfusionist.


    This machine takes over the function of the heart and lungs for a few hours, while the doctors worked on the heart.


    Now fully into the surgery, Chen Lihua took a vein from a part of the patient''s leg, to use for her bypass.


    This vein will allow blood to go around the blockage in her heart arteries, to the heart muscle without any obstruction.


    The patient''s leg will not miss that vein because her leg has many veins available, so by removing that vein, there is still plenty of blood circulation to the leg.


    The vein taken from the patient''s leg was used for her heart, to again bring proper blood flow to the heart muscle around the area of the blockage.


    So looking at the heart and getting ready to stop it from beating during this operation, to do two bypasses and the repair on the patient''s mitral valve.


    Doing this gets to deliver medicine to the heart that actually stops it and keeps it protected and alive while the doctors worked on it.


    In this surgery that Chen Lihua was performing, there is high risk because the patient has a lot of comorbidities that are other than the heart disease that caused her to be at a higher risk.


    The patient has very bad lungs, her lungs on room air, only have a saturation of 85%, which could make her have shortness of breath. Also, she has weak lungs overall as for strength.


    Besides, she has other rehab issues, and she has had very poor compliance with medicines for her blood pressure and her sugars, and so on.


    So all these things kind of added up to make the surgery a little bit more complicated because she (the patient) has worse disease inside, and then after the surgery, the doctors and nurses have to take care of all these issues.


    The patient''s body has to recover from the trauma of the surgery.


    All these complications the patient had, was the main reason the Deputy Chief cardiothoracic surgeon didn''t want to partake in the surgery. He was definitely running away from responsibilities.


    With his rank in the hospital, he is supposed to be the next in line after the Chief surgeon, in mobilizing the other cardiothoracic surgeons for surgeries, and also encouraging them.


    But with this selfish act of his, what do you think the other doctors that look up to him might do? They would definitely follow in his steps.


    As for Chen Lihua, she wasn''t finding the surgery funny. She kept asking for clamps and other equipment while performing the surgery.


    And she was sweating so much that the nurse by her side, had to be wiping her sweat every five minutes.


    "It''s getting stuffy here, put on some soothing music," Chen Lihua said, to no one in particular.


    Her requests were granted within a minute.


    This soothing music was able to make Chen Lihua relax her shoulders.


    She has been in this surgery for a few hours now, and she was already getting tired.


    This surgery was really taking a toll on her because the nurse didn''t give her a detailed description of the patient''s health.


    Just into the surgery, she began to discover how complicated the surgery actually was because of the patient''s health issues, and this caused her to be extra careful.


    She was a bit angry because of this surgery because the patient''s life lied in her hands. And if something wrong should happen during this surgery, then all the blame will be put on her head. She had already acc.u.mulated lots of enemies from her department, so they would use the issue against her, so she has to be extra careful.


    So this patient''s operation was a little more complicated than usual because of her age and tissues. Her tissues were very frail and tore easily, which made her have a lot of problems with bleeding.


    Afterward, exposure of the valve inside her heart was also tricky. Still, Chen Lihua and the doctor assisting her were able to see it, and also managed to fix her own heart valve which again was best for her, so she did not need to have a replaced valve.


    A few hours later, the precarious surgery, came to an end. An echocardiogram was done to ensure that the patient''s heart valve was no longer leaking and that her heart function was restored back to normal, which was good.

 Chapter 281 - A clash with the Deputy Chief.

    Chen Lihua came out of the theatre with a not so happy face. She seemed to be the only one with that expression on her face as the rest of her team were happy for the successful surgery.


    There were no mishaps during the surgery like a vein rupture and the rest. So they were happy, apart from Chen Lihua who felt like killing someone.


    "Congratulations Doctor Chen," Her teammates congratulated her, and she responded with a nod.


    Chen watched and followed on until the patient was wheeled to the SICU (Surgical Intensive Care Unit), before walking away.


    "Am not in the mood to meet the patient''s family for now, so tell them they could see her (the patient) in a few hours. And after their visit, they could come and see me in my office," Chen Lihua informed the nurse that was following her before walking away.


    Chen Lihua washed up, and on her way to her office, she met a nurse in the hallway who told her that Dr. Song came back an hour ago, and also asked about her.


    Chen Lihua said a word of thanks before going into her office, only to see a visitor who had already made himself at home.


    "Good evening Dr. Song," Chen Lihua greeted politely before walking over to sit on her seat.


    "They told me you weren''t in a good mood even after the successful surgery. Now looking at you, I have come to believe what they said because your face doesn''t look good," Dr. Song said in a smile.


    "How was your trip, Dr. Song?" Chen Lihua asked, refusing to make a comment about what he said.


    "The trip was fine, and the surgery, successful just like yours. So tell me, why are you annoyed?" Dr. Song asked, insisting on knowing the reason behind her foul mood.


    Chen Lihua sighed before speaking up, "Nothing much. I just hope I will not be given a fake or incomplete medical record of any patient, again. I don''t have the energy and power to deal with the trouble."


    "That''s no trouble at all. Just note that in case something like that happens, you will not be held responsible for anything that happens after that. And if possible, have a trustworthy person read out the patient''s medical records before the surgery in the cases of emergency surgeries, or you can read them yourself," Dr. Song suggested with a smile.


    "Thank you, Doctor Song," Chen Lihua said.


    "No troubles. So did my words help you to feel better now?" Dr. Song asked.


    "A little," Chen Lihua said as she started to flip through the medical records of the patient she just performed surgery on.


    "Are you sure you are not pissed off for another reason?"


    "Like?" Chen Lihua asked without looking up, as she continued to go through the medical records.


    "Like, cutting your honeymoon short" Dr. Song teased.


    Chen Lihua finally looked up at him and said with a smile, "My honeymoon ended a day ago."


    "That''s fine. I will be leaving. You can contact me or come to my office if you need anything," Dr. Song said as he stood up from his seat.


    "Thank you, Dr. Song," Chen Lihua greeted politely while standing up as a sign of respect.


    Dr. Song just smiled and walked away.


    One hour twenty minutes later, a nurse knocked on Chen Lihua''s door and came into her office after Chen Lihua gave her the go-ahead.


    "Dr. Chen, these are the forms and doc.u.ments you asked for," The nurse said as she passed some stacks of papers to Chen Lihua.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua said as she took the stacks of papers from her, and began flipping through them.


    As the nurse turned to leave, she stopped and turned to face Chen Lihua just after taking some steps.


    "Dr. Chen," The nurse called out, and Chen Lihua looked up to glance at her.


    Seeing that she had gotten her attention, the nurse continued, "I saw the Deputy Chief talking with the family of the patient you just performed surgery on."


    "Where did you see them?" Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "Outside the SICU, where the patient is currently resting," The nurse replied as she watched Chen Lihua''s face change color.


    "Did you listen to their conversation?" Chen Lihua asked as her voice was getting heavier.


    The nurse hesitated a little after detecting the anger in Chen Lihua''s voice, but she still went ahead to reply.


    "I think I heard him talking about the surgery and also advising them."


    "That''s it, I''ve heard enough for today!" Chen Lihua said while getting up from her seat, as she made her way towards the door.


    The nurse immediately followed behind her.


    When they got to that particular floor, Chen Lihua overheard the Deputy Chief saying, "You can even follow me to my office, and I will explain more there."


    "That''s the patient''s family, Dr. Chen," The nurse beside Chen Lihua, reminded her in a soft voice.


    "Deputy Chief!" Chen Lihua called out in a heavy voice.


    The Deputy Chief and the patient''s family, which consisted of a male and a female, turned to look over as they watched Chen Lihua walk over in heavy footsteps.


    On seeing Chen Lihua, the Deputy Chief stopped smiling as his face turned into a scowl.


    Chen Lihua approached them, and without sparing the Deputy Chief a glance, she introduced herself to the middle-aged man and woman in a polite smile.


    "I am Doctor Chen, and I believe you are the family of the patient; I just performed a surgery on, an hour and thirty minutes ago," Chen Lihua said while stretching out her hand for a handshake.


    The middle-aged man smiled while shaking Chen Lihua''s hand.


    "Yes. I am the patient''s only son, and this is my wife," The man introduced cheerfully.


    Chen Lihua released the man''s hand before going ahead to exchange greetings with the middle-aged woman in a handshake.


    "Thank you so much Doctor for rescuing my mother-in-law despite the health complications she had," The middle-aged woman said to Chen Lihua with a heart full of gratitude.

 Chapter 282 - What can I do for you, Dr. Chen?.

    "Thank you so much Doctor for rescuing my mother-in-law despite the health complications she had," The middle-aged woman said to Chen Lihua with a heart full of gratitude.


    "It''s our job. If you may please follow me to my office, I need to talk to you two," Chen Lihua said politely.


    "No problem," The middle-aged man replied.


    "If you don''t mind that I care, Deputy Chief, I will take it from here," Chen Lihua whispered to the Deputy Chief in a low voice.


    Then she gave a low bow to him, before walking away with the patient''s family.


    So the Deputy Chief stood there while seething with rage as he watched Chen Lihua walk away.


    In her office, Chen Lihua talked to the patient''s family for minutes. Since she cared about her patients a lot, so she had this tendency to know more about them from their kins.


    In the middle of talking, the telephone rang, and Chen Lihua picked it up.


    The person said something to her, and she replied, "A meeting in fifteen minutes?"


    She listened for a few seconds before speaking up again, "Ok, thank you."


    "Am sorry about that," Chen Lihua apologized to them while dropping the telephone.


    "It''s ok, we understand that you are busy," The middle-aged woman spoke up.


    "So doctor, when will my mother be able to leave the SICU?" The middle-aged man asked.


    "In two days at most if everything goes according to plan," Chen Lihua answered.


    "The other doctor we met outside the SICU told us that there could be complications after the surgery, is that true?" The middle-aged man asked worriedly.


    Chen Lihua felt a little headache coming.


    ''What is wrong with that man?'' Chen Lihua thought to herself.


    "Yes, there could be complications like chest wound infection, heart attacks or strokes, lung or kidney failure, breathing difficulty, or even memory loss or fuzziness," Chen Lihua explained.


    Then seeing their faces increase with worry, Chen Lihua went ahead to say.


    "I understand that you are worried, but you will understand that your mother had serious health complications just before the surgery, as you can see in her medical chart here," Chen Lihua said while showing the medical chart to them.


    "And this surgery happened as a result of an emergency because she was bleeding inside. She was supposed to wash herself a day to the surgery with a special soap, to kill the bacteria on the skin. That would have lessened the chance of infection after surgery. The heart-lung machine bypass machine used is also associated with risks, but we had no choice. So you see, there are bound to be complications after this surgery. But I assure you that we will do everything we can to ensure that your mother is back to her feet again," Chen Lihua explained while staring right into their eyes.


    The middle-aged man sighed while his wife said to Chen Lihua.


    "Alright, Doctor, we understand. We are only hoping that our mother would be fine."


    "Don''t worry, we will do our best," Chen Lihua assured them while standing to her feet as the fifteen minutes was almost up.


    "My time is up now, but I will meet you two in the SICU after the meeting, and there, I will take my time to explain some questions for you," Chen Lihua said to them in a smile as they stood up as well.


    They thanked Chen Lihua before leaving her office.


    Chen Lihua let out a tired yawn as she sat back on her seat.


    She removed the medicated glasses from her eyes and rubbed her tired eyes.


    She spent six hours performing surgery in the theatre and also spent about two hours extra going through the patient''s medical chart, looking up some information concerning the surgery and the recovery of the patient, and also talking to the patient''s family. And now, she had a meeting to attend, and she hasn''t rested at all, not forgetting that she still had to meet with the patient''s family after the meeting.


    Chen Lihua rubbed her face tiredly before putting her glasses back on. She stood and wore her coat before leaving for the meeting.


    She was the third to the last person to enter the meeting room just before the Chief Surgeon. And the last person to enter the meeting room was the Deputy Chief.


    What an arrogant man.


    The Chief started the meeting after seating down. He addressed them about the scene caused just before noon about the surgery they all ditched.


    Then lastly, he called up the Deputy Chief and asked him to explain while he came to the meeting a few minutes after the meeting had started.


    And he gave the excuse that he had migraines due to the surgery he performed in the morning and that he was still recovering from it.


    ''I can''t believe this man could tell a lie so smoothly,'' Chen Lihua thought to herself while staring right into the man''s eyes.


    It was evident that he lied, but nobody said a word.


    This was the doctor that had been moving up and down after Chen Lihua''s surgery. And when the surgery was ongoing, he was wiling away his time for six hours in his office.


    So tell me, how tired could he still be?


    The Deputy Chief glanced at Chen Lihua, and when he caught her staring at him, he asked in a smile, "What can I do for you, Dr. Chen?"


    "Nothing exactly. But if you could please stay far away from my patients and their families, you will do me a lot of good," Chen Lihua replied in a smile that was not a smile.


    The Deputy Chief smiled and said while raising his hands in surrender, "Ok, but I was just helping out."


    There was silence, as the doctors of the cardio departments, stared between Chen Lihua, the Deputy Chief, and the Chief.


    It was apparent that there is bad blood between Chen Lihua and the Deputy Chief, so they all looked at the Chief to break the suffocating silence.


    The Chief sighed before announcing, "Let''s appreciate Doctor Chen for still staying strong after six hours of surgery, and till this time."


    There was a round of applause from everyone apart from the apparent person, as they appreciated her with smiles.


    Chen Lihua stood up and bowed to them in response.


    Those that clapped for her had respect for her because she was too young to be a cardiothoracic surgeon for her age, and she did the surgery without any help from any experienced cardiothoracic surgeons.

 Chapter 283 - Going home to her husband.

    Chen Lihua stood up and bowed to them in response.


    Those that clapped for her had respect for her because she was too young to be a cardiothoracic surgeon for her age, and she did the surgery without any help from any experienced cardiothoracic surgeons.


    After the meeting, Chen Lihua walked out of the meeting room after the chief surgeon.


    She didn''t stop to speak with anyone but immediately hurried to the SICU where her patient was.


    As she entered the room, the beeping sound of the heart monitor connected to the patient could be heard as she asked, "How is everything going?"


    The middle-aged family stood up and said in unison, "fine."


    "Doctor, what is the function of all these tubes you connected to her body, is it not painful?" The middle-aged woman asked.


    Chen Lihua smiled and replied as she walked closer to the patient''s bed.


    "It''s painful, but they are necessary. She may feel muscle pain, throat pain, pain at the incision sites, or from the chest tubes. So I will prescribe some pain medications for her. She can take them before any physical activity and before she sleeps. To get enough sleep, she can take the pain medications a half an hour before bed."


    Pointing at the tubes at the patient''s chest, "These tubes are to help drain fluids from the area around her chest. And the intravenous (IV) lines in her arm is to supply her with fluid. There is a catheter (thin tube) in her bladder to remove urine as well."


    "Then, as for the incision on her chest, we used eternal plating to join it because of her age," Chen Lihua said.


    Sternal plating is when the b.r.e.a.s.t bone (sternum) is re-joined with small titanium plates after the surgery. And this is done to people at high risk, such as those who''ve had multiple surgeries or people of advanced age.


    "Doctor, when will she be moved to a regular room?" The middle-aged man asked.


    Chen Lihua had her hands inside the pockets of her white coat while replying, "She will be moved to the regular care room after forty-eight hours (48 hrs.) of critical observation."


    "Thank you so much Doctor, for taking your time to explain our mother''s situation to us," The middle-aged man said as he bowed with his wife.


    "It''s my job. I will see you two in a few days after she has been moved to the regular care room if there isn''t be an emergency before then. But for now, the nurse assigned to take care of her would be here," Chen Lihua said to them in a smile before leaving for her office.


    Getting to her office, Chen Lihua took off her coat and hung it, before setting the curtains apart to see the night view.


    "It''s night already," Chen Lihua said to herself.


    She hasn''t rested for the last nine hours, and now, the tiredness was getting to her.


    Chen Lihua closed the curtains before going back to sit on her seat.


    She opened up her handbag and brought her phone out.


    Then check it out, she discovered that she had five (5) missed calls and tons of messages.


    The calls were from her husband, and some of the SMS was from her husband, mother, and an unknown number.


    She went to her message app. Seeing the headlight message from the unknown number, she didn''t bother to open it anymore, because the first sentence she saw, made her understand that the number belonged to her father, so she automatically ignored the rest of the content.


    She didn''t have the energy to deal with her parents now, and she''s got an important person in her life; she needs to care for them.


    So she checked the five SMS messages she got from Liu Longwei. And it read:


    "Sweetheart, did you get to the hospital in time for the surgery?"


    "How is the surgery going?"


    "Are you done with the surgery?"


    "Baby, have you eaten?"


    "Sweetheart phone me when you get the chance, I miss you."


    Chen Lihua was all smiles as she read the messages from her husband. It was difficult not to detect the love, care, and concern he had for her.


    Chen Lihua smiled to herself for a while before dialing his number.


    At the first ring, Liu Longwei picked the call as his deep voice came through, "I guess someone just remembered me."


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly and said, "How are you?"


    Liu Longwei was able to detect the tiredness from her voice, so he said in concern, "Am fine, but you sound tired, have you had a rest since today?


    Chen Lihua yawned before replying, "No. I was in the theatre for six hours. And since then, I''ve been busy."


    "How was the surgery?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "It was stressful but successful," Chen Lihua replied.


    "Will you come home tonight?" Liu Longwei inquired.


    "No. I will have my rest here. I have a patient to wait on," Chen Lihua said as she massaged her temples.


    "I miss you so much, and the house feels so lonely without you. Am sure someone else can watch over the patient in your place, and you need to get a rest," Liu Longwei said, trying to convince her to come home to him.


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh without saying anything, as she contemplated for a while.


    "If there is an emergency in the middle of the night, then the chopper will send you back. For now, you can get someone to cover for you," Liu Longwei continued when he didn''t hear anything from her side.


    "Ok, I will listen to you," Chen Lihua replied in a smile.


    "Thank you. The chopper has been waiting for you, and I will be waiting for your return," Liu Longwei replied satisfactorily.


    Chen Lihua terminated the call and stood up to leave her office.


    She went to the SICU where her patient was to make her last round of check-ups for the night.


    She didn''t see the patient''s family when she reached there, so she inquired about their whereabouts from the nurse who was watching over the patient, and the nurse told her their whereabouts.


    Chen Lihua didn''t dwell on that and instead went straight to the point to check on the patient to be sure that everything was normal.


    After checking her heart rates and other important details, she turned to speak to the nurse.


    She told the nurse that she would be going home to rest, and she should contact her if an emergency crops up.


    Then Chen Lihua went ahead to speak with the Chief Surgeon who was still in the hospital at that hour.


    As she left his office, she met head-on with the Deputy Chief who asked her if she was going home.


    And Chen Lihua replied with a ''yes'' as she continued on her steps, till she was out of his sight.


    She went back to her office to pick up her belongings before going to the rooftop where the helicopter was waiting for her.

 Chapter 284 - Family Reunion.

    When the helicopter landed on the helipad of Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s home, Chen Lihua was helped out of the heli, by a bodyguard.


    And when she looked into the distance, she immediately saw Liu Longwei, who was sitting and drinking a glass of red wine.


    Immediately he saw her climb down from the chopper, Liu Longwei smiled and stood up to approach her with the wine glass in his hand.


    "Give me a hug," he said as he spread his arms.


    Chen Lihua smiled before running into his warm embrace.


    While hugging him, she sniffed in his scent with closed eyes.


    "You smell like a hospital," Liu Longwei said while hugging her back.


    "What are you talking about? It''s disinfectant," Chen Lihua chuckled softly as she replied.


    "Ok. You must be tasty, drink this," Liu Longwei handed the wine glass to her after he released her from his embrace.


    "What kind of husband serves his exhausted wife a glass of red wine when she is tasty?" Chen Lihua asked in a smile while accepting the glass from him.


    Liu Longwei watched her down the whole thing before taking the empty glass from her, as he replied to her, "Your husband."


    Liu Longwei held her waist as he led her into the house, and to their bedroom.


    He took her bag and coat from her while ushering her into the bathroom, "I know you haven''t had anything to eat today, so, take a shower while I get dinner for you."


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua replied gratefully before going into the bathroom.


    About thirty minutes later, Chen Lihua was done with her bathing and eating.


    She laid down on her side of the bed and fell asleep immediately her head hit the pillow.


    While in her sleep, she could feel someone massaging her body, and that help to loosen her tensed muscles.


    Liu Longwei heard his wife sigh in relief and smiled to himself.


    Having massaged her body for a while, Liu Longwei lay beside her and hugged her to sleep.


    That night, Chen Lihua slept soundly and woke up early the next morning strong and happy.


    At first, she wanted to leave for the hospital in a rush without having breakfast. But Liu Longwei stopped her in time.


    When Chen Lihua arrived at the hospital, the news of her coming to the hospital in a chopper yesterday had already spread.


    Chen Lihua calmly took the elevator to her department floor. Then after settling in, she made a round of visit to her patient before going back to her office.


    That same morning, she received a text from her mother, telling her that they had a little reunion party. She also left the time and location for it, but Chen Lihua didn''t reply to the message and continued with her work.


    When she went home that day, she told Liu Longwei the contents of the text, to which he agreed on it, and told her that his parents sent him a text with the same location, date, and time.


    Chen Lihua said she wasn''t going for any stupid family reunion party, that she would rather spend her time in the hospital taking care of her patients than to meet with her parents.


    But Liu Longwei convinced her that his parents would be present as well, so she had to come.


    Chen Lihua contemplated the matter before agreeing to it.


    Since after their wedding, she hadn''t seen her parents-in-law. So she had to attend the reunion party to accord them that respect.


    It would be a foolish act for her not to go because she had an altercation with her parents.


    So after checking on her patient the next day, and confirming that she had no concerning problem that would require another surgery, or for her to in danger, she approved for her to be moved to the regular care room.


    She told her patient''s family that she would have to stay there for about ten days plus before she would be discharged. And before she would be discharged, she would have to meet them again for further interaction.


    In the evening, Chen Lihua went back home to bath and freshen up. And she went together with her husband to the venue.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua were the last to arrive, as the Chen''s and the Liu''s were already in merriment before they arrived.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei apologized to them for arriving late.


    While apologizing, Chen Lihua didn''t spare her parents a glance. She only smiled at her mother-in-law and father-in-law.


    The elders (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s parents) didn''t punish them and instead asked them to take a seat because they were their children.


    Their parents asked them about work, and they replied positively.


    Coincidentally, Chen Lihua was sitting in between her father and Liu Longwei, and Liu Longwei sat in between Chen Lihua and his father.


    Mr. Liu sat in between his son and wife while Madam Liu sat in between her husband and Lady Chen. Lady Chen sat in between Madam Liu and Chen K.


    Then lastly, Chen K sat in between his wife and daughter.


    After ordering their food, the men started talking about their businesses and companies, until Madam Liu cut them off.


    "Why do you mean like talking about your work at the dining table?"


    Then she focused her gaze on Chen Lihua, as she asked lovingly, "Lihua dear, hope Longwei doesn''t bore you with his work?"


    "Not at all mother, Longwei takes good care of me," Chen Lihua replied in a smile.


    "Mum, did you hear that?" Liu Longwei asked his mother proudly.


    "Don''t rejoice so soon," Madam Liu chided him affectionately.


    After their food was served, and there was silence, Chen K tried to talk to his daughter, but Chen Lihua caught on to it on time, so she immediately spoke to Liu Longwei.


    "Longwei has this," she said while using her chopsticks to transfer a piece of meat to his plate.


    Liu Longwei, who had been observing things between the father and daughter pair smiled to himself.


    He just didn''t know what to do again.


    Chen K sighed before glancing at his wife, who blinked her eyes at him, signaling him to stay calm.

 Chapter 285 - His little princess.

    "Feed me," Liu Longwei said out of the blue.


    "Oh," Chen Lihua exclaimed softly before picking the piece of meat with her chopsticks and bringing it to his lips. Liu Longwei opened his mouth to take a bite.


    Going back to eating her food after feeding Liu Longwei, Chen Lihua saw two pieces of meat on her rice.


    She didn''t know how it got there, because she wasn''t the one that did it. So she looked at everyone else at the table, seeking for answers, but she still refused to look at her father.


    Chen K couldn''t stand his daughter ignoring him anymore, so he spoke up in an emotional voice.


    "My baby girl, I know that I have wronged you, and you have a lot of resentment in your heart for me, and for that am so sorry. I just hope that you would forgive me and stop ignoring me. I feel so suffocated and pained when you ignore me. It''s just like seeing your precious treasure close to you, but you can''t touch it. Please forgive me, my little Angel,"


    Within a short time, tears began to drop from Chen Lihua''s eyes.


    The manner her father called her just now reminded her of the sweet and unforgettable memories of her childhood.


    The beautiful memories kept surging through her head, as the tears from her eyes, clouded her sight.


    "Sweetheart, why are you crying?" Liu Longwei asked when he noticed the tears that dropped on the back of his hand.


    "Lihua, dear, what''s wrong?" Madam Liu asked with concern embedded in her voice, as she really couldn''t see Chen Lihua''s face, as the latter had her face, bowed.


    "Hua''er, dear," Lady Chen called out to her daughter in concern.


    "I need to go to the bathroom," Chen Lihua said in a shaky voice as she stood up to leave in a hurry, while keeping her head bowed, with her palm over her mouth.


    Everyone at the table looked at themselves in worry when Chen Lihua knocked into a waiter who had empty champagne glasses in a tray.


    Chen Lihua just apologized to the waiter with the words, ''Am sorry'' without looking up, before running away quickly.


    "Lihua doesn''t look alright, do you think she will be okay?" Madam Liu asked worriedly.


    Her daughter-in-law just ran off like that in tears, of course, she would be worried.


    "Let me check up on her," Liu Longwei said while trying to stand up before someone beat him to it.


    "I will go," Chen K said and hurried off towards the direction Chen Lihua ran off to, while the rest sat and waited in anticipation.


    Chen Lihua shut the door behind her when she entered the women''s restroom. Not hearing any sound which signified that there wasn''t a soul in sight, she stopped whimpering and let her cries out.


    The manner in which Chen Lihua cried looked dignified.


    Those pet names her father called her, really triggered many pleasant memories she had with him in her childhood that she purposely chose to lock up.


    But now, the memories flowed like the rivers of living waters.


    She just couldn''t stop them, so the only way she could help herself out was to bare her hearts out with cries.


    While she cried inside the restroom, Chen K stood at a respectful distance away from the women''s restroom.


    He was worried sick for his daughter, but he just couldn''t approach further, or he would be termed a pervert if seen. So he had no choice than to remain standing where he was and continued to worry from there.


    A few minutes later, Chen Lihua came out from the bathroom after drying her eyes, only to come face to face with her father.


    It was the first time she was taking a proper look at him after so many years.


    Both father and daughter, just paused in their steps, as they stared at each other from where they stood.


    None of them said a word or moved. It was as if time had stopped for the two of them.


    Their eyes couldn''t hide the emotions which their body tried to hide.


    Both stared at each other, as the memories from the past, involving the sweet moments between them, flooded their sight.


    What beautiful memories between a father and his daughter.


    Chen Lihua remembered clearly how her father taught her to drive a car at the young age of fifteen (15).


    She also remembered when she did something wrong as a child. Her mother wanted to beat, so she ran to her father, calling him, "Daddy.....daddy!" as her little sweet melodious voice, filled the house.


    "Daddy....daddy mummy wants to hit me, you have to protect me," the little girl in her memory said while running to her father for protection.


    "Who dares to hit my little angel?" Chen K asked with a cheerful smile while lifting his little princess up.


    "It''s Mummy!" little Chen Lihua replied and chuckled softly after that.


    And when Lady Chen approached them, little Chen Lihua said in a cheery voice.


    "Mummy, you can''t catch meeeee!"


    Little Chen Lihua looked so happy, as she watched her mother chase her father around the living room, with her on her father''s shoulders.


    It was indeed a beautiful memory.


    Tears rolled down from Chen Lihua''s eyes as she looked at her father, who no longer looked as young and energetic as he was years back.


    He seemed to have aged a lot to her.


    As Chen K stared at his daughter, he remembered the words this little Angel of his, said to him when she won a gold medal in her kindergarten.


    The little girl kissed the gold medal that was hung on her neck while saying, "Daddy, I promise to make you proud."


    And she has indeed fulfilled her promise of making him proud.


    His little princess has now grown up to be a beautiful and successful woman and the youngest cardiothoracic surgeon in the world.


    He was truly proud of her.


    Coming out of those thoughts, Chen K''s eyes became teary, as he started taking little steps towards his grown-up princess.


    He made a decision right there, to set things right, no matter how many times his daughter, turned away from him.


    He would always love her no matter what for she would always remain his little princess, his baby girl.

 Chapter 286 - Not more important than you.

    He made a decision right there, to set things right, no matter how many times his daughter, turned away from him.


    He would always love her no matter what for she would always remain his little princess, his baby girl.


    When he approached his daughter, he stared into her teary eyes to read her emotions. And when he finally saw through them, he enveloped his daughter in a warm hug.


    More tears came rolling down Chen Lihua''s cheeks as she hugged her father back.


    It''s been years since she embraced him, and had anything to do with the ''fatherly love''.


    Being in her father''s embrace gave her this strange feeling because it''s been long since she embraced him. But after hugging for some time, she began to relax.


    So both father and daughter pair stayed like that for what felt like hours to them, while in the real sense, they have only hugged for nothing more than three minutes.


    Back at the dining table, Liu Longwei and the rest were still waiting for their return.


    "I think they have been gone for far too long, do you think they are okay?" Madam Liu asked worriedly while giving them each a glance.


    Mr. Liu nodded and replied while looking up from his phone, "I don''t think there''s anything to be worried about."


    "I will go and check up on them," Lady Chen said in a frown while getting up.


    "I will come with you," Liu Longwei said while getting up and following her.


    Liu Longwei and Lady Chen went to check up on the father and daughter pair, while Madam Liu and Mr. Liu stayed back at their dinner table.


    When Liu Longwei and Lady Chen arrived in the hallway where the restrooms were located, they saw a heart-warming scene.


    Such a loving scene, how could Lady Chen ever allow the scene which could be a sweet memory in the future, go just like that?


    Of course, she had to preserve that memory. So she captured that scene with her phone camera.


    Liu Longwei watched from the side with a slight smile on his face, as his father-in-law embraced his wife.


    ''It''s good they have reconciled,'' He thought to himself.


    Releasing his daughter from the hug, he rubbed her hair and said, as Chen Lihua wiped the remaining droplets of tears from her eyes, and patted her cheeks to clean the remains of the tears.


    "I missed you so much. And all these years I wasn''t by your side, you grew up to look just as beautiful as your mother, in fact, more beautiful than she is now. But don''t tell her that I said so; otherwise, I will be in big trouble."


    "Too late because I heard everything you just said," Lady Chen said as she walked towards her husband and daughter with a stern face facade.


    "How long have you been standing there?" Chen K asked as his eyes widened in shock at her appearance, while Chen Lihua chuckled on seeing his scared look.


    Her father''s looks expressed that he was scared of his wife.


    Chen K was indeed surprised to see his wife catch him red-handed, as it was unexpected.


    "Since you started talking bad about me behind my back," Lady Chen said as she finally came to stand beside her husband, directing glares at him.


    Lady Chen gave her husband a fierce look for a moment before smiling, the next moment.


    "You needed to have seen your face. I was just joking," Lady Chen said while patting her husband''s shoulders with a teasing smile on her face.


    As the older husband and wife pair interacted, the younger ones were not left out.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes met with Liu Longwei''s, and they smiled at each other.


    ''Finally, she noticed me,'' Liu Longwei said to himself while letting out a sigh.


    "How are you?" Liu Longwei, mouthed.


    "Am fine," Chen Lihua mouthed back in a smile, and Liu Longwei nodded in a reply, with his gaze still focused on her.


    Chen Lihua continued staring right into his eyes but had to move her eyes away to his shoulders because she became embarrassed by the way he was staring at her.


    He didn''t even blink for a second.


    Seeing that she was embarrassed, Liu Longwei chuckled softly before slowly stretching out his hand towards her.


    Chen Lihua got the cue and smiled. Then she glanced at her parents who had shifted a little away from her and was talking and smiling at each other.


    Since they were so into each other, she left their side before walking towards her husband and taking his hand in hers.


    Back at the dining table, Madam Liu kept looking towards the direction where the four people left from, to see if she could catch a glimpse of their shadows, but she failed to do so.


    So she turned to her husband to say in a frown, "How come they have been gone for so long, do you think we should go after them?"


    But it seemed like she was talking to herself because the man she was speaking to wasn''t paying attention to her, and so didn''t hear a word she said because he was too busy battling with his phone.


    "Did you even hear a word I just said?" Madam Liu asked while hitting his hands gently.


    "Am sorry, I was lost for a moment. What did you say?" Mr. Liu asked with a smile while keeping his phone away.


    "I can see that you were indeed lost for a long time," Madam Liu said while rolling her eyes at him.


    She couldn''t be bothered to exchange words with him any longer, as she continued glancing around, to see if she could catch a glimpse of the four people that have been gone for a while now.


    Now seeing that his wife was ignoring him, Mr. Liu held her arm and apologized, "Biyu, am sorry. I was caught up with something."


    Madam Liu threw a glance at him, and he immediately added, "But it''s not more important than you."

 Chapter 287 - Taking the initiative.

    Madam Liu threw a glance at him, and he immediately added, "But it''s not more important than you."


    Madam Liu shook his hand off her arm and said, "Better" as she smiled.


    "The food must have turned cold now," Madam Liu said as she called a waiter to reheat the food.


    A few minutes later, the people she had been worried about walked in.


    The came in with each holding unto their partners, with smiles plastered on their faces.


    It seemed like they had made up.


    When they had all returned to their seats, Mr. Liu ordered two bottles of Champagne to celebrate.


    After toasting, they happily continued with their dinner in a warm atmosphere.


    During dinner, Chen Lihua''s rice bowl kept piling up with meat and vegetables.


    "K, you have to stop piling food up for her, or she would get indigestion," Lady Chen reminded her husband.


    "I know it''s been a long time since you picked food for your daughter, but you have to take it easy on my daughter-in-law," Mr. Liu said in a smile.


    "I know... I know. I was just over-excited," Chen K said happily, as he put another piece of meat into Chen Lihua''s rice bowl.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know whether to laugh it cry as she chewed on the food in her mouth. But she made sure to swallow the food in her mouth before speaking up.


    "Dad am fine. I can''t even finish this, but thank you."


    "Alright, if you say so," Chen K replied in a smile, as he picked up some vegetables for himself.


    "I guess now that you''ve heard from the horse''s mouth, you are satisfied," Mr. Liu said to Chen K as he chuckled softly, but then he choked on the wine he just drank.


    "Good for you," Chen K said in a smile, as he raised his wine glass towards Mr. Liu, while Madam Liu rubbed her husband''s back to help him get comfortable.


    Lady Chen gave her husband a glance, and he immediately ceased from laughing as he put his wine glass down after taking a dip from it.


    "It seems like our fathers know each other as well," Chen Lihua whispered to Liu Longwei.


    "Mmmm. They were business partners," Liu Longwei replied in a low voice, not surprised by the way their fathers interacted.


    "Help me with the food," Chen Lihua requested as she pushed her plate of food towards him.


    "You haven''t eaten enough this night, are you sure?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "I don''t feel that hungry, and besides, this is not what I want to eat," Chen Lihua replied with creased brows.


    "What do you want to eat?" Liu Longwei asked while accepting her food.


    "Steak paired with red wine. And I want to enjoy it on the rooftop with the lights dimmed," Chen Lihua said while imagining everything she said in her head.


    Liu Longwei stared at her for some seconds before saying.


    "You want to have Steak and red wine in a romantic candlelight dinner? Well, since that''s what you want, I will accompany you."


    Liu Longwei seemed so happy. Who knows what was going on in his head?


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu watched their children''s interactions.


    Then the two women glanced at each other and smiled. Who knew what was going on in their heads as well?


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua were the first to leave after dinner.


    Their parents just stood and watched them leave with smiles on their faces.


    It was a good thing that their children were getting along with each other.


    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei got home, they showered separately while the chefs prepared the dinner.


    Now sitting in the rooftop and enjoying the food she craved for, Chen Lihua felt so happy and accomplished.


    "Seeing that smile on your face makes me so happy as well, that I would do anything within and out of my hands to ensure that beautiful smile doesn''t slip off your face," Liu Longwei replied after taking a sip of wine.


    Chen Lihua smiled and replied with a ''thank you'', and chugged the remaining content of her wine down, before pouring herself another glass.


    "I think you should take it easy with the wine. Back at the restaurant, you drank and ate so little," Liu Longwei advised while staring at her.


    "I know, but thanks for reminding me," Chen Lihua replied and continued with her dinner.


    During their romantic candlelight dinner, Liu Longwei didn''t eat much because he wasn''t hungry but still had to eat little to keep his wife company.


    After eating, both laid down on the beach lounge chairs beside the pool and continued drinking their wine while enjoying the night breeze.


    "Do you have anything on your mind that you want to talk about?" Liu Longwei asked, breaking the silence.


    "I have something in mind, but not about talking, rather, it''s more on the action," Chen Lihua replied.


    "And what could that be?" Liu Longwei asked with raised brows.


    "Don''t worry, you will find out in a moment," Chen Lihua said with a smile as she downed the remaining content of her wine glass, and stood up from her seat to walk towards Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei''s eyes never left her even as she approached him.


    Chen Lihua took the wine glass in his hand away and dropped it on the table beside him.


    Next, she lowered her face and stared right into his eyes before kissing him deeply.


    And as she kissed him, she sat on his laps, as her hands caressed his face, neck, and chest.


    "Sweetheart, are you drunk?" Liu Longwei managed to say when their lips parted.


    Who wouldn''t be surprised when their shy wife decides to take the initiative?


    "Maybe," Chen Lihua replied softly as she parted his night robe to reveal his muscular and firm chest. She caressed his chest softly while leaving trails of kisses on his neck.


    Liu Longwei began to breathe heavily on the sensation he felt, which was caused by his wife''s touches.


    Seeing that he was responding to her touches, Chen Lihua got more courage to continue.


    So she went further to lose the ropes of his nightwear, to reveal his n.a.k.e.d upper body, and the briefs that were covering the huge bulge in-between his legs.

 Chapter 288 - Take off your clothes.

    Seeing that he was responding to her touches, Chen Lihua got more courage to continue.


    So she went further to lose the ropes of his nightwear, to reveal his n.a.k.e.d upper body, and the briefs that were covering the huge bulge in-between his legs.


    Chen Lihua adjusted her sitting position, to sit a little bit away from his waist, before pulling her night robe off her body, to reveal the s.e.xy net nightgown, barely covering her body.


    Liu Longwei took in a sharp breathe while staring at his wife''s beautiful body.


    Then, he adjusted her sitting position, making Chen Lihua to directly sit on his bulge.


    This was an unexpected move, so Chen Lihua let out a m.o.a.n as her inner thigh came in contact with what it needed.


    "Grind me," Liu Longwei requested while staring intensely into her eyes.


    Chen Lihua bit her lower lips as she felt herself getting wet.


    "Don''t hold back your desires, no one will hear you," Liu Longwei whispered to her, as he held her waist and began to move her over himself.


    Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned uncontrollably and laid on his chest.


    Liu Longwei felt her soft chest on his rock hard chest and breathed heavily.


    "Let''s go to the room," Chen Lihua said to him softly.


    "No, let''s do it here," Liu Longwei insisted while still holding onto her waist, as he proceeded to rub her body on his.


    "No....no I don''t want to do it here, we are outside, and someone might see us," Chen Lihua whispered.


    "This place is good, and no one will hear us. I promise you, you will like the experience here," Liu Longwei whispered to her ears before biting it.


    "Mmmm," Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned in response.


    "Take off your clothes," Liu Longwei commanded.


    "Now?" Chen Lihua asked as the desire in her eyes faded a little.


    "Yes, now," Liu Longwei confirmed.


    "But we can still do it without me taking off my clothes," Chen Lihua said.


    "How?" Liu Longwei asked with a smile as he wondered what his wife had in stock.


    "You will see," Chen Lihua said in a shy smile.


    "Cut the crap," Liu Longwei said as he captured her lips while fondling one of her b.r.e.a.s.ts through her clothes.


    When they were done teasing themselves, Liu Longwei opened his mouth to speak.


    As he wanted to ask her how he was going to get inside her without taking her clothes off, Chen Lihua raised herself a little and pulled Liu Longwei''s briefs down a little. His mighty little brother sprang out, then she guided him into her with her hands.


    Both let out a gasp and a m.o.a.n.


    "I thought you had your pants on, so how come....," Liu Longwei managed to say before something dawned on him as he took a proper glance at the nightwear Chen Lihua wore.


    "You are wearing Lingerie?"


    "Mmm," Chen Lihua hummed as she began to move.


    "That''s perfect," Liu Longwei said in a hoarse voice before moving in her rhythm.


    Some minutes later, Chen Lihua cried out, "Longwei stop, bring me down."


    "No," Liu Longwei replied as he continued to hold her butts and push her up himself.


    Liu Longwei was now standing with Chen Lihua wrapping her legs around his waist, with him still inside of her.


    This is the new position he suddenly adopted, but Chen Lihua is scared that they might be seen since they were standing.


    "Someone will see us," Chen Lihua managed to say as the pleasure hit her hard.


    "No one will so just enjoy yourself," Liu Longwei said to her in a hoarse voice as he continued with his actions.


    That night, the moon was shy on their behalf.


    ''How could they do this? Do they think no one is seeing them? What about me?'' The moon said to itself.


    From the rooftop, they moved to the bedroom, and by now, Chen Lihua was exhausted. So she was pleading with Liu Longwei to please stop.


    "Stop? I just got started," Liu Longwei said as he continued to move in and out of her at a fast pace.


    "Longwei...please stop, am tired already," Chen Lihua pleaded again as she let out a m.o.a.n.


    "Ok, give me a few seconds," Liu Longwei said as he continued with his actions, but then he slowed down.


    Few seconds turned into minutes.


    Chen Lihua then realized that if she didn''t do something, she might faint. So she stretched her hand and grabbed a pillow before smacking his face with it.


    "Ok... Ok... Ok, am done," Liu Longwei said as he snatched the pillow from her.


    Within a few minutes, he released his seeds inside her, before pulling out.


    He laid down beside her and hugged her as he kissed her lips.


    "Sweetheart am sorry. I was carried away because I couldn''t resist your body, you are so sweet," Liu Longwei said as he left trails of kisses on her neck and chest.


    "Go away," Chen Lihua said while breathing heavily, but she still allowed him to kiss her.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he continued to kiss her all over her face.


    "Damn it!!!" Chen Lihua said in a loud voice.


    "Sweetheart, what''s the matter?" Liu Longwei asked as he paused in his actions.


    "You didn''t use a condom," Chen Lihua said with widened eyes.


    "I forgot. But there is nothing wrong with it, you can just give me a child," Liu Longwei said as he hugged her soft body with a loving smile plastered on his face while sniffing in her scent.


    "No... No. Longwei I can''t have a child now. The hospital is very busy now, and I need to concentrate on my career now. And what would they think of me when I turn up to the hospital in a few months with a bulging stomach when I haven''t worked there for at least two years?"


    "What are you talking about, no one will fire you. What are you actually worried about?" Liu Longwei asked with a serious expression on his face.

 Chapter 289 - I want a divorce.

    "What are you talking about, no one will fire you. What are you actually worried about?" Liu Longwei asked, looking serious.


    Chen Lihua sighed. "Am just not ready to have children yet. We haven''t talked about it and planned for them, so I can''t get pregnant yet. And I also need to set my mind and get ready for it."


    Not hearing anything from her husband but the sound of his breath, Chen Lihua became worried and thought he was angry, so she asked.


    "Why are you not saying anything?"


    "You have a point in what you just said. We have no knowledge about childbearing and training, and we need it," Liu Longwei replied thoughtfully.


    "That''s right," Chen Lihua said.


    "So how long will it take you to be prepared?" Liu Longwei inquired.


    "A year at least," Chen Lihua answered after much thought.


    "Okay, that''s fine by me. I will get books on childbearing and training so that we can have a better understanding of that aspect before we have our own children," Liu Longwei said after careful consideration.


    "Okay, thank you so much," Chen Lihua said gratefully.


    "You can sleep now. Don''t bother trying to take any pill, because I won''t accept it. It may be harmful to your body. If you get pregnant, we will both take responsibility for it," Liu Longwei said.


    "But....but," Chen Lihua managed to say before Liu Longwei cut her words off.


    "Lihua it''s late, go to sleep, you have to be in the hospital early tomorrow morning," Liu Longwei said, shutting her up.


    Chen Lihua didn''t go to sleep immediately; instead, she stayed awake for some time, contemplating the matter.


    But she decided to listen to her husband because he always gave in to her. At least, she had to accord him some respect and listen to his opinion as well.


    It''s not like she would lose out if she became pregnant. But for now, she just hoped that she wouldn''t conceive, because she wasn''t ready for it.


    ********


    Aunt Lin''s ex has been contemplating on how to bring up the divorce topic without hurting his mother''s feelings for days now, but he just didn''t know how to do it.


    But when he saw Aunt Lin''s pictures and short video clips on social media with their daughter, it dawned on him to step up and do something.


    So on this day, he brought up the divorce with his wife and mother.


    "What did you say?!" His mother asked with a shocked look while exchanging glances with her daughter-in-law.


    "Mum, I know this is hard for you, but I have made up my mind to divorce her."


    "What has possessed you? I will never allow you to get a divorce," His mother insisted, while his wife had a frightened look on her face.


    "Mother actually, I wasn''t seeking your permission or opinion. I only felt the need to let you know about it because you forced me to get married to her," He said while pointing at his wife.


    "Honey, what have I done wrong, why do you want to divorce me?" His wife asked in tears.


    "My dear, don''t worry, he will not divorce you. He is just joking around. Even if he is serious, I will never allow it, so you don''t have to worry, wipe your tears," His mother said while consoling her daughter-in-law.


    "If you want to keep crying, that''s your problem, but we are definitely getting a divorce next week. And mother, the earlier you have this in mind, the better for the two of you," He said as he made a move to stand up, without sparing the two women another glance.


    "Honey you can''t do this to me, I don''t want to a divorce, I will not sign the divorce papers. I can''t live without you. What about our children? No... No, I won''t accept a divorce. Tell me, why you want to divorce me now, is it because of that woman?" His wife said as she knelt on the floor and clung to his leg.


    "Which woman are you talking about?" His mother asked while rising to her feet in anger.


    "Do not honey me. I never accepted you as my wife since day one and up to this point, and I will never see you as one, so cut the crap! And please take note that I am not divorcing you because of anyone. This is something I should have done a long time ago. Now take your hands off my legs!" He roared his last sentence in anger.


    "No, I won''t let you go, even if you kill me! Am sure that woman has poisoned your mind against me," The woman said as she cried harder.


    "I think you really want to die!" He said in a loud voice while glaring at her.


    "What woman are you two talking about?" The old lady asked.


    "Mother, remember that his first love, I saw the two of them in a restaurant some weeks ago, and the woman even threatened to make him divorce me if she wanted. Now hearing him bring up a divorce, am sure that woman must have forced him to do it," His wife cried out to his mother in agony.


    "What! Tell me this is a joke," The old lady said while glaring at her son, and seeking for answers.


    "You are free to think and believe whatever pleases you," He answered without care while trying to free his leg from his wife''s grasp.


    "So you actually met with that wench? Have you seen how evil she is, she wants to break up a perfectly made home! She wants to snatch another woman''s husband and my grandchildren''s father! I do not accept it and will not allow this to happen!" His mother said on top of her voice with her hands on her waist.


    "Oh mother, you now call her a wench. You now call her a husband snatcher. Have you forgotten that she was my fianc¨¦e and was carrying my child when you drove her out of the house, and then you brought in another woman to replace her? So tell me, who is the husband snatcher and the home breaker here?!" He asked angrily.


    His wife, who still had a firm grip on his leg shivered from his loud voice, while his mother took few steps back in shock.


    They would be fools and deemed foolish if they couldn''t even detect the extreme anger in his voice.

 Chapter 290 - Scolding her daughter-in-law.

    They would be fools and deemed foolish if they couldn''t even detect the extreme anger in his voice.


    "You....you....you dare to talk to me, your mother like this? Have you forgotten how I suffered to bring you into this world?" His mother asked in tears. Actually, they were fake tears.


    "Suffered? Are you sure you wouldn''t have suffered to bring me into this world if not for your selfish reasons? Do you think I don''t know the real truth behind my birth? Do you take me for a fool? How long were you going to keep treating me like a child?!" He asked in anger, as veins popped out from his throat.


    "Son, WH-What are you talking about?" His mother asked, not sure if she heard him clearly while pretending not to have heard him at the same time.


    "You asked for this since you want to be embarrassed, then I won''t disappoint you. I know that you got pregnant for my father just to marry him. You drugged him and slept with him, and that''s how you managed to get pregnant with me. And even knowing that it was risky for you to be pregnant because of your frail health then, you, insisted on carrying on with the pregnancy, just so you could snatch your best friend''s lover!"


    His mother had a shocked look on her face as she placed her hand on her chest while moving backward unsteadily.


    "Mother!" His wife called out and rushed to her side, in time to save her from falling.


    Then she assisted her in sitting back on the couch.


    The old lady you see here today was quite a character back then.


    She appeared to be weak because of her frail health, but who knew that she was a green snake in green grass, a very cunning person.


    She someone who made calculated moves, she chose her friends only after running background checks on them.


    She made her friends after careful consideration.


    She made friends that she would get something from in return, just like her best friend then.


    Her best friend was like a prey she hunted on back then.


    Actually, her main target was her best friend''s boyfriend, who is now her husband.


    So in other to get the man of her dreams, she had to get closer to people close to him, and her easiest target was her best friend.


    Because of her frail health, she deceived a lot of people, including her best friend.


    She acted as if was out of breath, and was asthmatic to get her attention. So from their first encounter, they became friends and then best friends.


    And before you know it, her plans started working, because her best friend introduced her to her boyfriend.


    So anywhere her best friend and boyfriend went, she would be there as well.


    So they continued that way, to the point that it would seem weird in the eyes of other people if she (the old lady) was to be missing among their company.


    There was a time she visited her best friend at noon in her apartment when she wanted to leave for the supermarket to buy some veggies.


    Her best friend asked her to come along with her, and she agreed. But when she heard from her best friend that her boyfriend was coming over and that he would let himself in because he had the spare keys to her apartment, she gave an excuse that she has a headache, and would love to stay back.


    And because her friend is the good one that she is told her to rest and not to bother going out with her.


    So while her best friend was out, the old lady stripped and got into the bathroom. So when her best friend''s man came over, he thought it was his girlfriend that was bathing, and so, tiptoed into the bathroom to see an unexpected stack n.a.k.e.d lady.


    So that was the beginning of the old lady''s success.


    "Who... Who told you all these... Who told you this nonsense!!!?" His mother shouted hysterically.


    "Are you surprised, and you want to know my sources right, but you are never going to find that out from me!" He said while pointing at his mother angrily.


    His mother breathed heavily while staring at him in shock, still clutching her chest.


    She must have been deeply shocked and caught unexpectedly.


    "The two of you should have been mother and daughter because you two have the same bad traits and habits. Your skills are top-notch to have deceived your husbands into marrying you," He said while giving them a death stare, before walking away from their midst while dropping the last sentence to them.


    "The divorce will take place at ***** by ***** next week Thursday. Be there on time."


    The two women broke into tears after he left.


    "Which bastard told him all those rubbish he spouted now?!" The old lady said while kicking the air with her feet.


    "Mother, he is really going to divorce me if you don''t do anything to stop him!" The woman said as she shook the old lady''s hand as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Enough of your nonsense! I have had enough of you! I got you married to my son, but you still couldn''t get him to love you after giving him a child and spending so many years as a married couple. You are so useless. You can''t even help him with anything at all, you only know how to spend his hard-earned money. With how useless you are, why won''t he find another woman that is a whole lot better than you?!" The old lady spoke harshly while taking her hand away from the woman''s firm grasp as she glared at her.


    Having never had and experienced this form of harsh reaction from her mother-in-law, who always talked and treated her with love and care, it was too much for the woman to take, so she slid to the floor and started to cry louder.


    She has never seen this side of her mother-in-law before.


    "For your own safety, you better stop screaming in my ears. You should count yourself lucky that your mother was my best friend when she was alive, and that''s why I tolerated your shortcomings and got you married to my son. And because of my relationship with your mother, you will remain married to my son."

 Chapter 291 - An unexpected event.

    "For your own safety, you better stop screaming in my ears. You should count yourself lucky that your mother was my best friend when she was alive, and that''s why I tolerated your shortcomings and got you married to my son. And because of my relationship with your mother, you will remain married to my son."


    Well, despite her mother-in-law''s bashing, her nerves calmed down with the last sentence she said to her.


    At least, she could still stay married to her son and enjoy the lavish lifestyle she has been living.


    Saying those hurtful words could be painful to her ears, but she can tolerate them because it''s just a small sacrifice she has to make if she still wants to stay married.


    As the days to the date, her husband gave her for their divorce drew nearer, the more she grew worried.


    Since her husband (Aunt Lin''s ex) left the house that day, he hasn''t returned, phoned or sent an SMS, so why wouldn''t she be worried.


    "Mom, I haven''t heard anything from my husband for some days now, he must have really meant it when he said he would divorce me. Mother, what should I do if he really does it?" she was in tears as she asked her mother-in-law, who was eating watermelon.


    "You don''t have to worry about him, I already have a plan hatched out, am just waiting for the right time to launch it," the old lady answered in a smile.


    The woman wiped her tears as a slight smile appeared on her face.


    "Mother, what plans have you got?"


    The old lady wiped her lips with the table napkin and answered in a triumphant smile.


    "What if you don''t show up on that day, because I was hospitalized, being in the final stage of Ovarian Cancer?"


    The woman widened her eyes in shock, but then she smiled and gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up.


    "Wow! A mother that''s is an excellent idea. Am sure your idea will work, I trust you. And when my husband calls me on that day, or before he even calls, I will tell him the breaking news close to the appointed time. Then he would forget about the divorce and rush down to the hospital out of desperation. Then mother, using your illness as an excuse, you can get him to do your bidding as your last dying wish."


    "That''s right, he would have no other choice and option than to listen to me," the old lady added in a smile.


    The two women had a happy moment while working on their plans. But on the other hand, their son and husband were in a hotel room, and on a call with the woman he loved.


    He told Aunt Lin that the divorce would take place in three days, and then he would come for her.


    He even spoke to his daughter, and that was what made his mind and decision stronger.


    *********


    Two days later, something tragic and unexpected happened that changed the lives of Aunt Lin''s ex and his family.


    "Mother, how is the preparation for our plan going?" the woman asked her mother-in-law as they chewed on melon seeds, happily.


    "The plan is completed and ready to be hatched," the old lady answered happily.


    "Mo.....," the woman just opened her mouth to speak when her phone suddenly started to ring.


    When she picked up her phone, she saw that it was an unsaved phone number, so she picked the call in annoyance and said harshly.


    "Yes, who is this?"


    The person on the other side, spoke to her for a few seconds before she screamed and nearly dropped her phone.


    "My son, which hospital is in?"


    "Okay, please do everything you can to save my son, I will be there very soon," the woman replied in tears.


    "What happened, why are you crying? Who is in the hospital? Talk to me!" the old lady asked worriedly while standing up from the couch.


    "Mo....ther, my... My son got into an accident, and he... he is being sent into the theatre for emergency surgery. Surgery, am finished!" the woman replied in tears, as she slumped to the floor.


    "What did you say happened to my grandson?" the old lady asked in shock.


    The woman couldn''t reply, as she cried profusely.


    The old lady nearly broke down when she learned that her grandson actually got into an accident, and was being sent in for emergency surgery.


    "What are you still doing on the floor, crying? Don''t we need to get to the hospital? If anything happens to my grandson, I will deal with you!" the old lady warned.


    At least, the old lady''s scolding woke the woman up.


    So she hurriedly stood up and went to grab her car keys.


    "Mother, let''s go to the hospital," she said, and the two women rushed out of the house.


    When they got to the hospital, they were immediately asked to see the doctor handling their son/grandson''s case.


    "Doctor, how is my grandson doing?!"


    "Doctor, how is my son doing?"


    Both women asked at the same time as they grabbed unto each of the doctor''s hands.


    "In the meantime, your son is okay. But he has lost a lot of blood and would need a blood transfusion. Since you are his family, both of you should go and have your blood checked up, so we can begin the blood transfusion immediately," the doctor explained as he tried releasing his hands from their hold, but failed.


    When they finally heard a solution from the doctor, they immediately released their hold on him.


    They thanked the doctor before following after the nurse whom the doctor showed them, to check their blood group.


    While walking with the nurse, the woman phoned her husband (Aunt Lin''s ex) to tell him about the current grave situation, but he didn''t pick up.


    She tried it so many times, but he still refused to pick up, so the old lady had to try, but she still received the same negative response.


    So she sent an SMS to his phone which read, ''Son, your son got into an accident, and was sent to the hospital, call me when you get my message.''


    Within a minute, the old lady''s son called her back.


    Hearing her son''s voice which she hadn''t heard for the past few days, the old lady became more emotional as she cried on while explaining the situation to him.

 Chapter 292 - In need of a blood transfusion.

    Hearing her son''s voice which she hadn''t heard for the past few days, the old lady became more emotional as she cried on while explaining the situation to him.


    "Alright mother, stop crying. I will be there before you know it," he consoled his mother before preparing to rush down to the hospital.


    If it were any other day, he would have neither listened to his mother, not believed her, because he knew her too well.


    She was capable of coming up with tons of excuses, just to get what she wants.


    But from his mother''s voice, he could tell that there was sincerity in it. So he has to hurry down to the hospital.


    At the very least, the person that was being hospitalized is his son. So if it''s for anything, it was because he is his own flesh and blood, and he truly cared about him.


    "Mother, what did he say?" the woman asked her mother-in-law a little enthusiastically.


    "He is on his way," the old lady answered as she wiped her tears.


    "Nurse, what next, when will we be allowed to see my grandson?" the old lady asked the nurse that was currently pressing cotton wool to stop the blood from oozing out of her arm.


    "After the surgery is over, you can all see him," the nurse replied kindly.


    So the two women, both old and young, sat down on the corridor, waiting for the result of their blood test to come out.


    Within minutes, the doctor they met earlier, and the nurse that drew out their blood walked towards them.


    "Doctor, how is my grandson?" the old lady asked while standing to her feet.


    "Doctor, how is my son?" the woman asked, getting to her feet as well.


    "He is losing a lot of blood, so we have to hurry up with the blood transfusion immediately," the doctor replied.


    "Then what is keeping you waiting, hurry up and save my son! We have drawn our blood for the test," the woman said in a hurry, as the tears came rolling down her cheeks once again.


    "We are doing our best ma''am. But the problem lies with the blood test," The doctor said, leaving them in suspense.


    "What about the blood test?" the old lady asked in a panic. She was getting really worried about her grandson.


    "Am sorry to say this, but none of the blood samples matched," the doctor replied with a serious expression on his face.


    "What did you just say, none of the blood samples matched?!" the woman asked in a harsh tone, with a shocked filled face.


    "Ah! Then what do we do?" the old lady asked in a panic.


    "If there is any other family member, please hurry up and call them here while we try to find the patient''s blood match here," the doctor said.


    "But why is difficult to find his blood match, we are his family members too," the old lady asked worriedly.


    "That''s because he has a rare blood group, O Rhesus negative. Ma''am, you can please call up any other child of yours, or your husband since your blood group didn''t match with your son, definitely, his will match. And please do that quickly, we don''t have a lot of time on our side," the doctor reminded them.


    "I''ve already called my son, he will be here in a minute, please hold on," the old lady pleaded with the doctor as a tear dropped from her eye.


    "Mother, do you know my husband''s blood group?" the woman asked with a fearful look on her face.


    "I can''t remember that at all. Don''t worry, his blood group will surely match with his son since yours didn''t. After all, they are father and son," the old lady answered as she sat back down and patted her daughter-in-law''s hands, with her eyes focused on the doctor and nurse that we''re talking by the side.


    The woman''s heart skipped a bit. It was at this juncture that something dawned on her. But she hurriedly stopped thinking about, as she refused to dwell on the ''What ifs'' she just didn''t want her thoughts to go right there.


    Just as the woman was lost in thoughts, her husband arrived at the hospital and walked towards them in quick steps.


    "Mother, what happened? Where is my son?" the man asked in a worried tone as soon as he came to his mother''s side.


    "Son, you are here? No more questions, there are more important matters to attend to. We need your blood sample to check if your son''s blood group matches with yours. Your son needs blood for transfusion. Your wife and I have done the test, but it didn''t match," the old explained while rising to her feet.


    The woman also rose to her feet when she saw her husband, so she became more emotional and cried harder, hoping to get her husband''s sympathy and for him to console her, but none of that happened, as it was just her wishful thinking.


    The man she wished to get these love and concern from, hadn''t even looked her way, talk more of looking into her eyes.


    She was just daydreaming.


    "Ok, a mother that is not a problem, our blood group will definitely match. Where is the doctor, so that I can get my blood tested?" the man asked in all seriousness, while at the same time, consoling his mother.


    "The doctor went that way with the nurse," the old lady answered as she wiped her tears while pointing towards the direction the doctor and the nurse walked off to.


    The man followed the direction his mother was pointing at and saw the doctor and the nurse walking away, so he hurriedly went after them.


    The old lady and her daughter-in-law sat back down on the chair.


    "Don''t worry, he is here, and everything will be alright," the old lady said as she consoled her daughter-in-law.


    The woman wiped her tears as she asked worriedly, "mother, my husband didn''t even look at my face just now. Am sure he didn''t even notice my existence, it seems like he is still adamant about us getting a divorce. Mother, what should I do?"

 Chapter 293 - The blood group didnt match.

    "What is wrong with you? Your son is lying in the theatre fighting for his life, and this is the only thing you can think of right now. You as his mother is supposed to be worried about saving him, but here you are to his disappointment, worried about if his father still cares for you," the old lady scolded angrily.


    "Am sorry mother, I was just worried," the woman apologized as she hurled back the tears that were threatening to roll down.


    Seeing how pathetic her daughter-in-law was looking, the old lady felt sorry for her, and so calmed down before saying softly to her.


    "After my grandson''s life is secured, then we can worry about that matter. You can even look so dejected and hopeless, to make him feel so sorry for you, and I trust he will. Since our plan of having me admitted into the hospital this night has come to a halt, we will have to use this opportunity in front of us, to drag him back to us," the old lady said and sighed.


    "Thank you, mother," the woman said in appreciation, as she began to plan on how to get her husband to take pity on her, and not mention anything about the divorce.


    "Grandma, mum, what''s going on, what happened to my brother?" a younger-looking lady appeared in front of the two women, she looked like she just ran a marathon.


    "Darling, come and sit beside me. Your brother got into an accident," the woman said as she beckoned on her daughter.


    The young lady came to sit beside her mother after greeting her grandmother.


    "Mum, how did the accident happen?" the young lady asked her mother.


    "We heard from the doctor that he was riding in his friend''s sports car when he collided into a moving truck that was carrying some goods. That''s not all, there seemed to be traces of alcohol from his breath, which means that he had been drinking before he started driving," the woman explained and broke into tears again, while the old lady sighed.


    "Its ok mum, everything will be alright. How is his condition now?" the young lady inquired as she rubbed her mother''s back.


    "He is bleeding a lot and is in urgent need of blood. And am sure he broke some bones because the accident was quite serious, according to the doctor," the woman said while crying.


    The old lady joined her to cry, but she did that quietly, unlike her daughter-in-law who behaved like she wanted the whole world to know her agony and pains.


    The young girl sighed with a sullen expression on her face.


    "I have warned him about driving other people''s cars and drinking, but he wouldn''t listen to me. You all should have scolded him too, but no you didn''t! Instead, you all spoilt him and allowed him to go on with his ways. Now see where it has landed him," the young girl said with a hint of anger in her voice.


    Her scolding caused her mother to cry the more.


    The old lady sighed and said, "It''s all our fault for spoiling him a bit too much. We are lucky that his friend was not in the car with him when the accident happened, otherwise by now we would have been scolded or arrested or even used by his friend''s parents."


    Just when the woman was about to say something, she saw her husband approaching them, she shut her mouth immediately, while immediately appearing like someone who had gone through a disaster, just to attract pity from her husband.


    "Dad, you are here?" the young girl greeted her father.


    The man just nodded at his daughter before turning to inform his mother.


    "Mother, don''t worry, everything will be alright. I just spoke with the doctor and got to know more about my son''s condition. He may not be able to walk for at least a year, so he would have to use the wheelchair for support."


    Tears slid from the old lady''s eyes as she cried out, "it''s all my fault for spoiling my grandson to this level and indulging him in his acts. I should have cautioned him!"


    "Oh, my son! What will I do now!" the woman cried hysterically, as her daughter held her down.


    "Mother calm down. I didn''t say he is crippled and wouldn''t be able to walk for the rest of his life, I only said that he would need to make use of the wheelchair of a year or a few years. Don''t worry, he would be able to get back to his feet again," the man said, consoling his mother.


    He just learned that his son suffered from a minor spinal cord injury, and broke a few bones on his legs, which would require the doctors to remove the broken bones and replace it with metal.


    He didn''t even give his family the full details. He felt so tired, with the sudden news and everything that was currently going on in his life, and he didn''t just want to scold or blame anyone for what happened.


    A minute later, the doctor came back with two nurses behind, and there was a hint of tension on their faces and steps.


    Not waiting for any of the patient''s family to speak up, the doctor spoke up immediately, "Am sorry to say this, but the blood didn''t match with the patient''s."


    "What?!" all four of them exclaimed.


    "Doctor, what nonsense are you talking about? How can my blood group not match with my son''s?!" the man asked in a firm tone.


    "My son is right doctor, what are you talking about?" the old lady asked in confusion.


    "Doctor, you must be joking. What nonsense are you spewing? Are you trying to say that my husband and son are not related biologically?" the woman asked in anger, as she tried to attack the doctor, but she was held back by her daughter.


    "Mum stop it! Doctor, am sure you must be mistaken," the young lady said to the doctor while still holding unto her mother.


    "Am afraid to say this, but from the test result, their blood groups are totally different," the doctor announced in all seriousness.

 Chapter 294 - Getting a paternity test done secretly.

    "Mum stop it! Doctor, am sure you must be mistaken," the young lady said to the doctor while still holding unto her mother.


    "Am afraid to say this, but from the test result, their blood groups are totally different," the doctor announced in all seriousness.


    "What?!" the old lady literally screamed.


    The man just looked between the doctor and his wife he earlier refused to set his eyes on.


    "Can you explain what is going on? What is the doctor talking about?" the man questioned his wife while trying to remain as calm as possible.


    "I don''t know, I think he is mistaken. He might have swapped your blood sample with another," the woman answered with a shocked look, as her heartbeats increased by a few paces.


    "Madam, look, I am sure of what I am saying. No blood samples were swapped because your husband was the only one being attended to at that time, so am sure of what am saying," the doctor said as he adjusted his coat, while the nurses standing behind him looked at themselves in surprise.


    What a drama to behold.


    "Talk to me, what does the doctor mean?!" the old lady asked her daughter-in-law in a raised voice.


    "Mother... I don''t know. Maybe our blood samples were misplaced!" the woman replied hastily with a frightened look.


    The old lady glanced at the doctor as if to confirm if what her daughter-in-law was saying was true.


    The doctor looked a bit provoked as he said to them.


    "Look, I am not here to play. The patient has lost a lot of blood. And if his condition worsens, the fault will not be from us, as we have tried our best and done the things within our reach. So, the patient''s life lies in your hands."


    "Doctor, I am the patient''s sister, maybe I can try getting my blood tested," the young lady announced, trying to save the situation.


    "Well then, hurry up. The clock is ticking," the doctor said before turning to walk away.


    The young lady quickly followed one of the nurses that came with the doctor for the test.


    "Excuse me, doctor, can I get a DNA test done in this hospital, and how long will the result take to come out?" the man asked as he immediately followed behind the doctor.


    "You can get a DNA test done here. But the result will take a few days to come out," the doctor replied as he continued to walk forward.


    "Is there any way for the time to be shortened? I will pay any amount," the man said.


    The doctor stopped in his steps and answered, "within 24 to 48 hrs then."


    "I want to get a DNA test done on my two children and myself. And then with their mother as well," the man requested.


    What he meant to say was that he would like to do a paternity and maternity test to check if the children he thought were his, were actually his and if his wife is their mother.


    "No problem, we still have some of their blood samples, so we will be able to carry out the test from there. So just go the lab......."


    The doctor directed him on how to go about the DNA test before leaving.


    The man disappeared for several minutes before going back to his family, only to see his daughter with a smile on her face, sitting in between her mother and grandmother.


    And both women looked so happy.


    When he approached them, his mother stood up and walked the remaining distance to him before saying to him worriedly.


    "Son, where did you go to, we were all worried about you? The test was successful, your children''s DNA matched, so my grandson can be saved now," The old lady said as she held unto her son''s arm.


    The happy look on her face looked weird.


    "That''s good to know mother. You must be tired, please have a seat," the man said as he managed a smile.


    His thoughts were in disarray. He was thinking of the possibility of the children he cared for and brought up not being his children but other men''s.


    He didn''t know what he would do if the possibilities were true. For sure, he would kill someone.


    But for now, he has to be calm, and not in any way divulge his plans on the paternity test to anyone, including his mother.


    He went to sit down beside his mother.


    "Husband, our son will be saved now!" the man''s wife said while staring at him, pitifully.


    The man just nodded at her before looking away from her immediately.


    He got goosebumps when he heard her say, ''Our son''. It took a lot of deep breaths to stay calm.


    He swore that he would kill this woman if the children he had brought up with his money, love, and care were not his.


    He seriously wouldn''t spare her if he found out that he had been deceived by this woman who had been sleeping beside him for years.


    And for her, his mother forced him to abandon the love of his life and his unborn child.


    If what he is thinking was true, then he would definitely kill someone, and will not in any way, spare his mother as well, because she was the Genesis of everything.


    As different possible thoughts were going through his mind, the same thing was going through the old lady''s mind.


    ''How come their blood groups matched? Maybe it was a coincidence,'' the old lady said as she shook her head, before glancing at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter weirdly.


    "Grandma, why are you looking at me that way, is anything the matter?" the young lady asked with a confused look on her face when she noticed her grandmother had a weird look on her face while staring at her.


    "No, every fine. Am just glad that your blood matched with your brother''s, and now, my grandson can be saved," the old lady replied.


    The young lady just nodded in a smile as she continued to press on her wound.


    Just then, a nurse came out and called out to the young lady, to follow her to get the blood transfusion, started.

 Chapter 295 - Guilty conscience.

    The woman insisted on following her daughter because she was scared of sitting with her husband and mother-in-law alone.


    But she was not allowed.


    So she sat down back disquieted. Meanwhile, she was so scared of making a noise, for fear that the noise she made might give her husband and mother-in-law an insight of the little secret she has kept for so many years.


    And any little movement they made, scared the shit out of her.


    "What are you so afraid of? My grandson''s situation is under control now, and you should be happy and grateful," the old lady cautioned her with furrowed brows. At the same time, her son didn''t react at all.


    What was going through his mind was more than he could take, so he had no room in his brain to think about irrelevant things.


    Or maybe, he didn''t want to think too deeply into the matter, because, studying his wife''s actions might give him a clue.


    But he would rather wait for evidence before bringing the matter to a conclusion.


    "Mother I''m fine, just a little nervous for my daughter, and a little scared for my son. I just hope the rest of the surgery goes on well," the woman explained to the old lady.


    The old lady was already exhausted, so she didn''t want to waste the little strength she had thinking.


    "Mother, you are tired, I think I should take you home, so you can get some rest," the man said while holding the old lady''s shoulder.


    "No¡­no¡­no I will wait here till the surgery is over, I need to see my grandson," the old lady said, insisting on staying till she saw her grandson.


    "Mother, my husband is right. You are too tired, you are no longer young. Why don''t you go home and rest, I will give you a call once the surgery is over," the woman said in persuasion, as she couldn''t wait for her husband and mother-in-law to disappear from her sight.


    Having them by her side will continue to frighten her mind, and her soul will not find rest, so she needed to get rid of them.


    The old lady saw that she was getting tired, so she stood up to say, "Alright...alright, I will go home now to take a rest. But make sure you put a call to me once he is out of the theatre. Meanwhile, I will get the housekeeper to prepare food for all of you."


    "Thank you, mother," the woman said while standing to her feet.


    "I will be back, but before then, do not cry anymore," the old lady instructed before leaving with her son.


    Once they were out of her sight, the woman slumped on the chair while fanning herself with her hands.


    She swore that she would have ended up being diagnosed with High Blood Pressure (HBP) if they left any minute later.


    Outside the hospital, the man put his mother in a taxi and told her he would come home shortly, as he still had some important matters to settle in the hospital.


    His explanation worked well with the old lady, as she agreed with him before leaving in the taxi.


    Once the taxi was out of sight, the man went back into the hospital and stood in a hidden corner to monitor his wife, who seemed less tense and at ease at the moment, different from her emotions and actions when they (father and mother pair) were still present.


    He found her actions fishy, but still let her be.


    He monitored her for a while more before walking off to settle the dispute his son''s friend''s parents were causing.


    They brought police to the hospital, to capture the family of the patient that crashed their son''s car.


    Done with this matter, he went back home to see his mother fast asleep in her room. He watched her for some minutes before leaving for another bedroom because he refused to have anything to do with his wife.


    In the new bedroom, he still couldn''t sleep as his mind kept wandering around from one point to another.


    Back at the hospital, the woman was allowed to go and see her daughter, so the two stayed for a while before the surgery was over after hours.


    When the woman went in to see her son, she cried out bitterly for a long while before finally stopping.


    She kept sniffling as she continued looking at her son. She also couldn''t touch because she was too scared to do so.


    The young boy lying on the bed with an oxygen mask covering his nose looked lifeless. And if not for the heart monitor that was monitoring his heart rates, people would think he was dead.


    The doctor consoled the woman and spoke to her on some crucial things to note, before leaving the room.


    The woman didn''t call her husband or mother-in-law immediately the surgery was over; instead, she notified them around 7 pm so that it would be too late for them to visit.


    And she knew that even if the old lady was eager, her husband would not allow her to leave the house because of her health.


    (Please take note that the doctors didn''t plan on using the old lady''s blood for transfusion even if her blood matched because of her age, but they allowed her to take the test for formality sake. And if things became critical for the patient, and they needed the blood from the old lady if they had no choice, they would only draw a little after checking up on the old lady''s health and conducting series of tests to see if she was fit).


    Now, the woman used her brains here, and it worked for her.


    When she called up her husband to inform him, he answered her call, which was unlike him. So she just went straight to the point. But she didn''t dare to mention the time the surgery ended, not knowing that the doctor had already informed her husband.

 Chapter 296 - The hidden truth finally revealed.

    When she called up her husband to inform him, he answered her call, which was unlike him. So she just went straight to the point. But she didn''t dare to mention the time the surgery ended, not knowing that the doctor had already informed her husband.


    The man didn''t ask her anything, but he told her he would bring his mother to the hospital tomorrow morning.


    "Husband..." the woman managed to say before the man hung up.


    The woman stared angrily at her phone before hissing. Then she looked at her son before calling out to him.


    "My poor little son, get well soon and fight for your mother."


    The next morning, the man brought his mother to the hospital to visit his son and daughter.


    His son still hasn''t woken up, but the doctor explained the reason to them which they understood.


    The man didn''t stay for more than an hour before driving back to the hotel he has been staying in.


    At noon, Aunt Lin phoned him, and he hesitated for a moment before picking up.


    They didn''t talk for long, as Aunt Lin asked him how he was doing, and he lied that he was stressed with work.


    Aunt Lin asked him about the divorce, but he only said that the divorce would hold next week Monday.


    Aunt Lin didn''t comment on that but told him to rest well and to take care of his health.


    After the call, the man laid down on his bed to think about his life.


    The next morning, the man rushed to the hospital. Not for anything else but to check the results from the tests (paternity and maternity tests) he arranged for.


    Without alarming the rest of his family, he visited his son. The latter had just woke up the early hours of that morning, before leaving with the excuse of going to the doctor''s office.


    Opening the door to leave, he turned to take one last look at the happy family before everything comes crumbling down, then he left for the doctor''s office.


    Now in the doctor''s office, the man held the paternity test reports in his hands, not having enough courage to open them.


    The doctor, on the other hand, paid no heed to him as he continued on with his work.


    After contemplating for a while, the man got the courage to open one of the reports, which said that his wife was the biological mother of ''his children''.


    With his heartbeat increasing by a few paces, the man opened the other paternity test report which read that he was not in any way, biologically related to the children he thought were his.


    The man became paralyzed, and it seemed as if he was lost in a trance.


    But unexpectedly, his facial expression changed to extreme anger which was caused by extreme provocation.


    "Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! I knew that nothing good could ever come out of this woman! She has ruined half of my life!" the man screamed before leaving the office, as he marched towards ''his son''s'' ward/room in anger.


    Anybody that met him on the way would definitely see and notice that anger surrounded him, and they will definitely know that there was a fire on the mountain.


    "You bitch! What is this?" the man asked furiously while slapping the paternity test reports on his wife''s face.


    "Son, what is the problem? Why would you behave this way with your wife, and in front of the children?" the old lady asked with a big frown on her face.


    "Father.....why would you hit mother? What....?" the young lady wasn''t given the opportunity to finish her sentence before ''her father'' lashed out at her.


    "Don''t call me that? Who is your father?!"


    The old lady, the woman, and her two children were filled with shock.


    The old lady and the woman exchanged looks, as they both knew that they were in for big trouble.


    "Son, calm down, this is the hospital. I can explain what is going on," the old lady said, trying to get her son to calm down, but her efforts proved abortive.


    "Did you say can down? How do you expect me to calm down when I have been kept in the dark for half of my life?" the man roared.


    His voice was too loud that the two nurses doing ward checks had to come into the room to check what was happening.


    "Son, it''s all my fault. I should have told you about this a long time ago. Your wife, who is one of my friend''s daughter was pregnant for another man just before you two got married, but she discovered it late. But as a good lady that she was, she immediately reported her pregnancy to me, so I had no choice than to take care of it," the old lady explained softly.


    "You had no choice than to take care of it by covering up for your (his mother and wife) stupidity, making it look like I was the father of the baby? Wow! I am proud of you two scheming women! You lot have opened my eyes today!" the man hollered in anger as he pointed at his mother and wife.


    "Son, look am sorry, I had no choice then, and that was the only option I had," the old lady pleaded.


    "Then how do you explain how he came about?" the man asked angrily while pointing to ''his son'' that was staring at him in confusion.


    "What do you mean? He is your son! The only one that is not a child is ''your daughter''," the old lady clarified in confusion.


    Seeing him point at her son, the woman that had been crying silently, felt a wave of pain hit her chest.


    If anyone had told her that she would see her end today, she wouldn''t have believed the person.


    Just when she was thinking about how to save her ass the first time, his mother-in-law cleaned up the mess for her.


    And as she was trying to take a breather from the first problem, the more difficult and deadly one came over.


    And this time around, there was no solution to it, she was definitely finished this time!

 Chapter 297 - Three-sixty degree turnaround.

    And as she was trying to take a breather from the first problem, the more difficult and deadly one came over.


    And this time around, there was no solution to it; she was definitely finished this time!


    "He is your son!" the old lady insisted while staring between her son and her daughter-in-law.


    She glanced at her daughter-in-law with the look that read, ''say something.''


    The man followed his mother''s look to his wife. Then he gave her a fierce gaze.


    The woman shivered in fear. She was already standing close to the pit she had dug for herself. All that was left was for her to jump into it. There was no way she could be saved unless she died before jumping into the pit because if she remains alive, it wouldn''t be favorable for her. She would have preferred that she died of a heart attack with her heart that was already hurting from beating too fast, rather than staying alive to her unknown fate in her husband''s hands.


    Looking at her mother-in-law, she really felt like telling lies, and only that could save her from the old lady.


    Meanwhile, looking at her husband, neither lies nor truth could save her. But then, if she told the truth, it would be two against one, that it, her mother-in-law, and husband against her.


    But it would also be a waste of time lying to her mother-in-law because her husband had the evidence of her lies and unfaithfulness, which was the DNA Test.


    So the earlier she said the truth, the better for her.


    "Is he my son?!" the man asked her in a firm tone, with looks that could kill in nanoseconds.


    The woman shivered while her daughter slid to the ground in tears.


    As for the son that just regained consciousness, he was just looking at them without an inkling of what was going on.


    The old lady stared at her daughter-in-law and called her by her name while saying to her in fear, "..... Answer him!"


    "He.....he.....is...is...not....." the woman managed to say before the old woman gave her a resounding slap.


    "What nonsense are you saying? Are you drunk? Are you telling us a joke at this serious hour? Does it look like we are in a movie scene to you?!" the old woman questioned in anger.


    "Mo.....mother, I''m sorry that I disappointed you," the woman cried out as she held unto the side of her cheek that was slapped.


    The old lady''s bones became tired and began to vibrate. So the two nurses by the side immediately came to help her to a seat when they noticed her condition, and since they were not currently doing anything.


    When they wanted to interrupt them and remind them to keep their voices down because they were in the hospital, the man gave them a sharp look, so they just had to keep quiet and watch over the patient that just came back to consciousness.


    "Mother, it''s too early for you to react this way. But you are free because it will not stop me from taking any decision. Have you see what you forced me to get married to?" the man asked while staring at his mother angrily.


    The old woman didn''t respond but began to cry instead. And as the old woman cried, her daughter-in-law cried more.


    "I don''t want to hear your voice!" the man said, pointing to his wife in anger.


    The woman tried to shut her mouth, but it wasn''t possible.


    So what she received was another searing slap.


    "I said I don''t want to hear your voice, it disgusts me!" the man shouted in anger after giving her a hard slap.


    The woman cried louder as she was now holding unto both cheeks.


    The man became extremely furious and raised his hands to hit her, both the two nurses that were present in the room held him back.


    Seeing how furious her son was, the old woman began to plead for herself, "Son, am...am very sorry. I-I did what I thought was best for you."


    "You did what you thought was best for me?" the man asked in ridicule, and the old lady nodded in response.


    "What about what I thought was best for me? Did you, in any way, really consider it before forcing this Queen of hell on me? Have you seen what your best is and how it works?" the man asked while gesturing with his hands.


    "Am sorry.....am really sorry," the old lady cried harder as she kept on apologizing.


    "Look at it now, you are saying sorry to me. Woman! You have ruined my life! Your sorry doesn''t mean anything to me, because it cannot resolve what is happening!" the man roared in frustration.


    "Hus... Hus..."


    "Is it my son you are calling or another man?" the old lady asked as she threw herself on her daughter-in-law and began pulling her hair.


    Thanks to the nurses who were there, even if they were not doing their duties as their profession pertains, they were at least separating fights and reducing violence risks.


    The young lady, who had been crying since, ran out when she saw her ''grandmother'' and mother, fighting. She couldn''t take the shocking news any longer, and she also didn''t know how to face the situation.


    The real a.d.u.l.ts didn''t know how to and don''t want to adjust to reality, so how could she adjust to it?.


    Her whole life had just been completely turned around, a total three-sixty degree (360¡ã) spin.


    Even when she left, nobody saw her leaving, nor cared to watch over her.


    "If you say something again, you will see what will happen to you. You don''t have the right to talk now. You have lost it due to your shameless act," the old lady said authoritatively. And when she saw that her daughter-in-law was being obedient, she scoffed and continued, happy that she had succeeded in subduing her. Before she continued with her speech.


    "I did you a favor by getting you married to my son.....

 Chapter 298 - Threats.

    "I did you a favor by getting you married to my son even when you had another man''s child. The man wasn''t even ready to marry you then, so you should have been grateful to me, but instead, you repaid by goodness and kindness with this betrayal. You went ahead to cheat on my son, and not only that, you got pregnant with a bastard. How did I even fall for your evil tricks?" the old lady inquired in anger.


    The woman chuckled loudly as more tears drooped from her eyes.


    "You did me a favor, or yourself? You must be daydreaming. I was already pregnant when you came to meet my mother and me with your huge plans. Nobody forced you, and I even told you the current issues I was facing, and you gladly welcomed me, saying that it wasn''t a problem. Then my mother asked about your son and how he would react with me being pregnant with another man''s child, and you said you would settle his end, which you actually did. You drugged him and got me to sleep with him to push the responsibilities to him. Then when I gave birth to my daughter, you kept telling me to give you a grandson, and once I did that, no woman would be able to shake my stand and position in the family. Then I did give you a grandson, which was not an easy task. I tried drugging your son, but he didn''t fall for it. Then I tried tampering with the condoms, but I still couldn''t get pregnant, so I had to find another way to get pregnant. So I met up with my ex, and then I got pregnant. Luckily it was a boy, so that''s how you came to have a grandson while I escaped from your constant complaints, and guess what, I even gained a foothold at the same time. No woman was able to shake my stand in that family all these years," the woman laughed at the end of her speech, thereby annoying the tiger and tigress, so she received a slap each from them, on both sides of her cheeks.


    "You two can hit me all you want, but you can''t kill me because if you do, there will be evidence, and you will go to jail and rot there all the remaining days of your miserable lives!" the woman spat out viciously with reddened eyes.


    "Killing you will be showing you mercy. But from this moment henceforth, I promise you that you would wish that you were given a quick death rather than wallowing in sorrows and pain!" the man said through gritted teeth.


    "And as for you, mother, deal with your mess. I haven''t seen any mother out there who would destroy the life of a child she went through pains and difficulty to birth, with her own hands. I will divorce this bitch on Monday and move on with my life. Then you can stay alone in that house and control the servants all you want. But since I am your only child and it is right for me to take responsibility for you, I will do that financially," the man said and walked away.


    "Son...son.....you.....you can''t do this to me, I am still your mother, and I don''t have anyone else to rely on, your father left us a long time ago!" the old lady cried out in agony as she tried to chase after her son, but stopped in her steps when she heard her daughter-in-law laugh loudly.


    "Why are you laughing when you are supposed to be thinking about your shameful past, present, and future? It seems like you do not understand the situation you are in now. Do I still need to spell it out for you?" the old lady barked at her.


    "Actually, we are in the same situation. But it would be more correct if we were to acknowledge that I am in a better position than you. You are just an old lonely lady who has nobody to look after her. I am not even sure you would be able to set your eyes on your son again, even on your death bed. But as for me, I still have my children here with me, and I can still hook up with another man even if I can''t seek refuge from my family, because I at least have that option which you don''t have," the woman sneered viciously.


    The old lady started before sitting down and continued saying, "You really don''t know who you are dealing with. I might be an old lady, but you cannot play games more than me because I taught you what you know now. Do you think I will let you go unscathed? Then you must be joking. You think your children won''t turn against you. How about I start with your missing daughter? It''s easy for me to penetrate because she is very vulnerable right now. Going back to your family, not bad, but not when I ruin your relationship with them before you reconcile with them. You want to hide under another man''s wings, dream on! Because your dirty linen will be hung outside for the world to see. The only option left for you is prostitution, how does that sound, good right?" the old lady asked in a triumphant smile.


    "You can only spread my dirty laundry outside when you don''t want your son''s face anymore. If you want him to be ridiculed by the public; and your family''s name trampled upon, and your dirty old haggard face left without a tinge of respect, try calling my name out to the press. Then I will show you that I really learned how to play games well from you. At least I didn''t stay by your side for nothing all these years, I learned a few of your tricks," the woman answered while crossing her legs.


    "Shame onto you! Even though my son didn''t show you, love, he still gave you money and everything you deserved as his wife. He even took care of children that weren''t his. At least he didn''t abandon them, nor did he have other children outside during the time you two were married. But see how you paid us back...." the woman complained furiously.

 Chapter 299 - The old lady gets the young lady on her side.

    "Shame on you! Even though my son didn''t show you, love, he still gave you money and everything you deserved as his wife. He even took care of children that weren''t his. At least he didn''t abandon them, nor did he have other children outside during the time you two were married. But see how you paid us back...." the woman complained furiously.


    "Whatever," the woman replied without care.


    "Am sure you don''t know what you just signed up for," the old lady replied before leaving the room.


    As the room returned to its silence, the woman wiped her tears as she asked the nurses to check up on her son.


    She refused to cry anymore nor feel bad for her actions because she took it that she wasn''t wrong at all, but had ripped the fruits of her labor, not knowing what was lying in wait for her.


    When Aunt Lin''s ex left the hospital, he rested in his car for a while and began to think about his past life and how much he had lost over the past few years.


    He hadn''t gained anything tangible since he left his first love. Now he just found out that he has been cuckolded by the wife he was forced to marry, and cheated by his mother all these years; it was a painful thing.


    Filled with pain and regrets, he drove straight to Aunt Lin''s house.


    When Aunt Lin opened the door for him, she saw him looking disheveled and heartbroken. And before she could utter a word, he hugged her.


    "Shhhhh," the man shushed her with his lips before saying, "Let me hug you for a minute."


    Aunt Lin stayed quiet and hugged him back.


    A few minutes later, the two of them were inside the house.


    "Can you tell me what happened?" Aunt Lin asked in a gentle voice.


    The man sighed before encountering what had happened to him over the last few days.


    Aunt Lin was shocked beyond measures. She never expected the old lady to go to great lengths to stop her from marrying her son by forcing another pregnant lady on her son.


    Aunt Lin came to sit next to the man''s side to console him. She talked to him for a while before she said at last.


    "You still have a child, our daughter."


    "That''s right, we have a daughter together. Lin, thank you so much," the man appreciated.


    "You are welcome," Aunt Lin replied in a smile before taking a sip of water. But what the man didn''t notice was that the smile on her face a few seconds ago had just disappeared.


    The next Monday, the man successfully divorced his wife without leaving a penny for her.


    It was now that the woman came to a realization that she was nothing without her husband.


    She was just a housewife who didn''t have a job or money but got what she wanted through her husband.


    The only skill she had was mah-jong skills, which she learned from following the old lady around.


    Her husband refused to make expansion her son''s head, so the hospital bill was piling up.


    Her daughter, who disappeared that day, had since not shown up or answered her calls. She had used her contact to search for her daughter but failed. The bad thing about this situation was that she couldn''t search for her daughter physically because she had to stay in the hospital to look after her son.


    But what she didn''t know was that the daughter she had been searching for this past few days had taken shelter in her ''grandmother''s'' house.


    Her daughter had long forgotten that she has a mother and a brother. In fact, she no longer recognized them.


    As for the woman, she reached out to her family and told them tons of lies in order to get financial help and moral support for them.


    After the tons of lies she told them, they managed to raise some money to pay part of the hospital bills, but the money was not enough, as it didn''t go far.


    Her family promised to help her with some money.


    When she told them that her husband divorced her and sent her out of the house with her children without a penny, they got furious. They wanted to look for him, but she said they didn''t allow them with the excuse that she didn''t want his money, but while in the real sense, she didn''t want them to find out the truth.


    But how long can she hide the truth?


    Her mother-in-law sent her things out of the house immediately after her husband divorced her.


    And she was lucky enough that her family was willing to accept her for the time being. Still, she had many obstacles to tackle.


    Right now, the old lady was with her ''granddaughter.''


    "I told you to stop crying, and you could stay here all you want, I am your grandmother after all," the old lady said while consoling the young lady.


    "Grandmother, are you sure you don''t hate me?" the young lady asked while looking at the old lady with a look of uncertainty.


    "Silly child. If grandma didn''t love you, I wouldn''t have accepted you when you weren''t even born," the old lady replied


    "That''s right, grandma. But you treated my brother a lot better than me. Is it because you knew I wasn''t your biological grandchild and thought my brother was?" the young lady said.


    "You might have thought I didn''t love you because I was a little strict on you, but that is not what it meant. I was only disciplining you. Girls are supposed to be more disciplined than boys in society. And I over pampered your brother because we needed a grandson that would keep our family name alive and stop your father from having another child outside, who would stand a chance to compete with you. So out of that joy, I over pampered him. But I am sorry for neglecting you. But disciplining you paid a good price, because you are so obedient and well behaved, unlike your brother that always got into trouble," the old lady explained.


    "You are right, grandmother," the young lady said in a smile.


    "Good! Don''t you want to see your mother and brother again?" the old lady asked keenly.

 Chapter 300 - Going through a book about pregnancy, together.

    "Good! Don''t you want to see your mother and brother again?" the old lady asked keenly.


    "No, grandmother, I don''t want to go back to them, I want to stay with you," the young lady said while looking up to the old lady.


    "That''s right, stay with me," the old lady said in a triumphant smile, as the young lady did the same with different thoughts in their mind.


    *********


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua''s Villa.


    This particular night, the couple was seen going through a pregnancy book together.


    After Liu Longwei told Chen Lihua that he would get the books on childbearing and training, he really did it the next day. And that was what greeted Chen Lihua''s sight when she came back from work that evening.


    So since that day, the two try to go over a page a day, but they haven''t succeeded since then because Chen Lihua was a lot busier than her CEO husband.


    She comes home late from the hospital and needs time to rest up and eat, and then she has a major surgery scheduled for the upcoming week.


    So each time they held the book to read, something comes up from either her end or his end.


    And now they thought they now had time to go through the book together, something came up at Chen Lihua''s end.


    Her smartphone rang, and when she checked the caller ID, she apologized to her husband.


    "Darling, I am sorry, but I have to receive this call. It''s from the hospital."


    Liu Longwei nodded to her in a smile, so she went away to receive the call.


    Now that his wife was gone, Liu Longwei made up his mind to go through the book alone. If he continued waiting to read the book together with his wife, it might not happen in the near future, so he decided to take a step.


    Chen Lihua was on the phone for over twenty (20) minutes before going back to the room.


    "You look so tired. Who was on the phone?" Liu Longwei asked in concern.


    "It was the Chief. We talked about the heart transplant that would happen in a few weeks," Chen Lihua replied as she hopped onto the bed.


    "Are you worried about it?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yeah, but a little. Am worried because I hope the surgery will be successful," Chen Lihua replied.


    "But... are you ready for it?" Liu Longwei inquired.


    "Am eighty percent (80%) ready for it. It''s been almost a year since I last witnessed and participated in a heart transplant, so I am a bit nervous. But everything will be ok because I believe in myself," Chen Lihua said in an encouraging smile.


    "Yes, everything will be fine, and I believe in you," Liu Longwei said as he hugged her with one arm.


    Closing the book, Chen Lihua asked, "Do you want to sleep now?"


    Liu Longwei stared at the book he just dropped on the nightstand before replying.


    "Yes. We have to sleep, and you need to rest. You have a big day not far away from you, so you need to keep your body fit. When the surgery is over, we can go through the book together."


    Chen Lihua agreed with him. She gave him a good night kiss before going to sleep.


    Over the next few days, Chen Lihua prepared for the big day, while Liu Longwei went on to sign contracts with other companies and seal a new business deal.


    Today, Chen Lihua was walking out of the hospital on her way home when she bumped into a handsome foreign man.


    The man introduced himself, and it turned out that he was a new doctor being transferred to the hospital. So Chen Lihua gave him directions before walking away.


    And when she returned home that day, Liu Dongmei called her to plead with her brother because she was tired of staying out of the country.


    Chen Lihua agreed to do that as it was not a problem for her, and was a piece of cake on her side.


    Liu Dongmei kept thanking her and called her the best sister-in-law in the world before she finally hung up the call.


    Chen Lihua smiled to herself as she kept her phone away.


    In the night, she spoke to Liu Longwei about his sister''s matter, and the latter replied.


    "Oh, Dongmei? I even forgot about her. You can tell her to come back," Liu Longwei replied before switching off the bed-lamp on his side off.


    Chen Lihua quickly sent a text to Liu Dongmei. The latter immediately called her early the next morning to confirm the good news.


    Once she was sure of the good, she immediately called her husband Mu Boqin to break the good news. Both of them rejoiced and already planned on where to go to once they met.


    That same day, Liu Dongmei booked two flight tickets for her and her daughter back to Country C.


    While these families were at peace, some other families found it difficult to breathe properly.


    Aunt Lin''s ex''s mother, the old lady, insulted the hell out of her ex-daughter in-law''s family when they came to meet her, demanding to know the reason her son divorced their daughter and chased her out of the house with his children, not leaving a dime for them.


    Their words angered the old lady, and that made her leave no stones unturned in insulting them and telling them the kind of calamity their daughter brought to her house.


    She even chased them away and threatened to call the police if they dared to step foot into her house again.


    When the woman''s family finally left the house, their reputation and dignity had been trampled upon by the old lady, and they had nowhere to keep their faces because they had been deeply embarrassed.


    The old lady didn''t spare them at all. She vented all the frustrations she had upon them.


    So when the woman''s family reached their houses, they were still speechless.


    They left their house bold and ready to fight for their daughter, but it seems like they went to shame their ancestors.

 Chapter 301 - Blackmail

    The old lady didn''t spare them at all. She vented all the frustrations she had upon them.


    So when the woman''s family reached their houses, they were still speechless.


    They left their house bold and ready to fight for their daughter, but it seems like they went to shame their ancestors.


    They could not carry on with the shame, so they phoned the woman and warned her never to set her feet in their house again.


    And the money they promised to give her for the hospital bills went just like that.


    The woman became frustrated when her lies were found out by her family. Now, she had no one to turn to for help, no friends.


    The friends she made from following the old lady around had already deserted her because the old lady had already informed them of her evil acts.


    But there was one more person she could rely on, and that was the father of her children. She phoned him, but he didn''t pick up. So she had to go find him at his house, but he had moved out a few years ago, according to his neighbors.


    She sent him an urgent text before going back to the hospital, where the doctor asked for the hospital bills.


    She said she would get back to him soon, so the doctor glanced at her in annoyance before advising her to try and get the money on time; otherwise, her son will not be discharged when the right time came.


    The woman could only nod her head in agreement, for this was not the time to scold anybody even if she was embarrassed.


    She had to bear her cross.


    On the evening of the same day, the woman became impatient as she hadn''t received any reply from the man in question, so she called his sister and mother, but nobody answered her calls. She then decided to visit the man''s mother.


    And when she met her, the old woman didn''t take her seriously until she threatened to go to the press. Only then did the old woman tell her that her son was already married with children and that she would ask him to give her a call.


    Late into the night, the woman''s phone rang, so she left the hospital room where her son was sleeping to answer the call; it was from her lover.


    She didn''t waste time having a conversation with him.


    She first chuckled when she answered the call before saying, "Oh! So you know how to call back now?"


    "What do you want?" the man asked.


    "I heard you are married with children," the woman asked in a smile.


    "And how is that any of your business? Don''t waste my time. Get straight to the point!" the man asked with a little annoyance in his voice.


    "You don''t want your wife and children to find out about us, so listen. I need money to pay for your son''s hospital bills. I need an apartment and money to take care of both children," the woman demanded arrogantly.


    "Hahaha! What do you take me for your money bank?" the man asked angrily.


    "Whatever suits you, it''s your choice," the woman said in a smile. She was happy that the man was annoyed.


    The man breathed heavily before saying, "I will pay for the hospital bills and rent an apartment for you and the children. Give me time to sort myself out."


    "Now you are making sense, and this is why I love you. Your son is almost due for discharge, so the hospital bills should come to me this week," the woman said in a serious tone.


    "As for what?" the man asked, almost flaring up.


    "As a reminder," the woman replied and hung up. Immediately, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.


    She felt so on top of the world for getting her ex-lover to do her bidding.


    **********


    Aunt Lin''s residence.


    Aunt Lin had just completed her early morning jog when she met her daughter at the entrance of the house.


    Her daughter was beautiful and looked just like her.


    "Baby, are you off to work?" she asked her daughter, who was already looking so dressed up.


    "Mum, don''t call me that. It''s embarrassing, and yes, I am off to work," her daughter answered.


    "I don''t find it embarrassing at all," Aunt Lin answered in a smile.


    "But I do, and that''s what matters. Bye, mum," her daughter said before walking away.


    "We are going shopping this evening, so remember to come home on time," Aunt Lin called out to her.


    "Alright, mum," her daughter replied but then stopped in her steps and turned around.


    "Mum?" she called out to her mother.


    Just as Aunt Lin grabbed the door handle to push the door open, she heard her daughter call her, so she retracted her hand and looked towards her daughter in a smile.


    "I think you should stop with the exercises; you are already looking way slimmer than me," her daughter said.


    "And that''s because I want to look as young as you," Aunt Lin replied.


    "You already look so young. But seriously, mum, you''ve got to stop with the exercises and diets, you have lost a lot of weight already," her daughter suggested.


    "Alright, I will listen to you. Go to work, and don''t forget our appointment today," Aunt Lin reminded me.


    When her daughter finally drove away, the smile on Aunt Lin''s face disappeared. She gazed into the distance, lost in thoughts.


    Then she retracted her gaze after some seconds and sighed before going into the house.


    *********


    The Liu Residence.


    "Why are you always so busy with your phone?" Madam Liu asked her husband.


    "It''s work," Mr. Liu replied, and his phone started to ring immediately. So he glanced at his wife, sitting an arm''s length away from him, before excusing himself.


    Madam Liu just sighed as she watched him leave the sitting room.


    Just then, Old Madam Liu walked in, and Madam Liu hurriedly went to support her.


    "Am fine," Old Madam Liu said in a kind voice.


    "I know, mother," Madam Liu answered in a smile.


    After helping Old Madam Liu take a seat, she sat beside her.

 Chapter 302 - Not pregnant yet.

    Just then, Old Madam Liu walked in, and Madam Liu hurriedly went to support her.


    "Am fine," Old Madam Liu said in a kind voice.


    "I know, mother," Madam Liu answered in a smile.


    After helping Old Madam Liu take a seat, she sat beside her.


    Just then, Mr. Liu came walking past them, and the old lady immediately called out to him.


    "Huang, where are you going to in such a hurry?"


    Mr. Liu turned to his wife and mother in a smile. "There is an emergency meeting that I have to attend. I will be back soon," He explained.


    "What kind of emergency meeting will make you be in such a hurry?" Old Madam Liu asked with furrowed brows.


    "Company matters," Mr. Liu replied patiently.


    "I thought we agreed that you should leave the major decisions for Longwei to handle, while you spend more time with the wife you married in your youth?" Old Madam Liu asked in an unhappy tone.


    When Mr. Liu Huang was still a young man in his twenties, he married his wife, Mrs. Liu, but he never had time for his family. So Old Madam Liu made him promise to spend more time with his wife and family once Liu Longwei took over the company, and he didn''t object to it.


    Old Madam Liu didn''t seem happy to see her son being busy when her grandson was already handling the company matters.


    It makes her wonder if her grandson is actually capable because she hadn''t seen any change and difference when her son was still handling the company, and when her grandson took over.


    "Mother, I remember what we agreed on. Don''t worry, I will wrap up with work soon". Mr. Liu said and went away after saying goodbye to them.


    Old Madam Liu sighed before looking at madam Liu worriedly.


    "Mother doesn''t worry, I understand," Madam Liu assured her.


    Old Madam Liu nodded and said, while patting her hands, "Good. It''s been a while since I saw that child, Lihua. Tell her to come over when she has the time. Seeing her makes me happy."


    Madam Liu immediately smiled at the mention of her daughter-in-law, "Yes, mother, you are right. I will speak to her tonight."


    Then the two women talked and laughed happily.


    Someplace in one part of the world, someone was sitting on a chair in a room where only a faint light could be seen.


    The gender of the person cannot be known unless the person should speak.


    "Has he arrived?" the person asked the figure standing behind.


    Lo and behold, the person sitting was a woman, while the person standing behind her was a young man, but his face could be seen as the faint light was hitting directly on his face.


    He had few scars on his face with broad shoulders.


    "Yes, ma''am," the man replied to the woman respectfully. And from his voice, you could tell it was hoarse.


    "Wonderful! Tell him to be discreet with his dealings. There shouldn''t be a mistake. And any mistake from his side, I will come over there to finish him off myself," the woman warned in a serious tone.


    "Noted!" the man replied in his hoarse voice with his sight on his feet.


    "Good. You are dismissed," the woman said satisfactorily as the man left her side.


    Back in country C, Chen Lihua came back from work a little bit early today after dismissing her patient.


    When she returned from the hospital, Liu Longwei was not back yet. So she decided to freshen up and help herself with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice before going into the study to work.


    Thinking that his wife would come home from the hospital late, Liu Longwei spent more time in his office, finishing up the last bit of work on his desk.


    So, by the time he was through with the doc.u.ments, it was around six-thirty (6:30 pm) in the evening.


    He came come around 7 pm to meet his wife reading a health magazine in the living room.


    Chen Lihua smiled once she saw him, and she hurriedly put the magazine down and stood up to walk towards him as she said, "Darling, welcome back."


    "Thank you," Liu Longwei replied happily as he kissed her forehead.


    Chen Lihua smiled while taking his briefcase???? from him.


    "When did you come home?" Liu Longwei asked as the two of them took the elevator to their bedroom.


    "A few hours earlier than you," Chen Lihua replied.


    "If I knew you would be back early today, I would have come earlier," Liu Longwei said regretfully.


    "You should have come regardless," Chen Lihua said while staring at him.


    "I don''t want to meet an empty home," Liu Longwei replied as they came out of the elevator and walked towards his bedroom.


    "What do you mean?" Chen Lihua asked as he opened the door to his bedroom and led her in.


    "A home without you is no home at all," Liu Longwei replied as he hugged her from behind.


    Chen Lihua smiled shyly before struggling out of his embrace.


    "You need to freshen up and come down for dinner," Chen Lihua said as she walked into his walk-in closet.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he followed her into the walk-in closet.


    When Liu Longwei was done freshening up, he went downstairs to have a sumptuous dinner with his wife.


    They really had a wonderful time together at the dinner table and back in bed when they laid down to sleep.


    Liu Longwei put his hand over Chen Lihua''s waist, but the latter removed it, but he put it back again, and she did the same as well.


    "What? You don''t want me to touch you now?" Liu Longwei asked.


    With her eyes closed, Chen Lihua answered, "Not today."


    "Why?" Liu Longwei inquired, not sure what her reason was.


    "My period came this evening," Chen Lihua replied in a soft voice.


    "Oh!" Liu Longwei exclaimed. "That means you are not pregnant," He continued.


    "No, am not," Chen Lihua admitted.


    "That''s fine," Liu Longwei replied as he kissed her hair and hugged her to sleep.

 Chapter 303 - Mum! what happened to you?.

    "Oh!" Liu Longwei exclaimed. "That means you are not pregnant," He continued.


    "No, am not," Chen Lihua admitted.


    "That''s fine," Liu Longwei replied as he kissed her hair and hugged her to sleep.


    The next morning, Madam Liu phoned Chen Lihua before she left for the hospital.


    The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law spoke for a while. Then Chen Lihua promised to visit the weekend after her scheduled surgery after madam Liu relayed the old lady''s message to her.


    After speaking with her mother-in-law, Chen Lihua told Liu Longwei about the call. The latter said he would go with her, but Chen Lihua refused, saying it was a ladies thing. So Liu Longwei could only agree with her.


    This same morning, Aunt Lin''s ex came over to see her. He was looking a lot better than the last few days. He seemed to have overcome all his troubles and embraced joy and peace.


    Today, he came to settle some old matters with Aunt Lin. Some matters were left unsettled between them, that he needed to bring to a conclusion.


    He needed to make things official, so he could have the exclusive right to take care of both mother and daughter. But if he doesn''t succeed, he would see himself as a failure and live the rest of his life regretting.


    So he has been in Aunt Lin''s house since early this morning to talk about the important issues thinking that it would be an easy matter, but he was surprised that Aunt Chen Lin refused everything he said.


    "Lin, I don''t understand what you are trying to do. I have divorced that woman already, so why don''t you want to get together with me officially? There is no other woman in my life. As it stands now, nobody can control me or tell me what to say about our relationship apart from you, so tell me, why do you saying ''no''?" the man asked in a frown.


    "I am not scared of anything or anybody. You can still take care of your daughter without us getting married. I don''t even see the need in us getting married," Aunt Lin said as a matter of fact.


    "Lin, what are you saying? I don''t just want our daughter; I want you in the picture as well. I want us to become one happy family. I want the three of us to be together forever. This is what I have failed to do for so many years, and I want to set things right now, so why do you still refuse?" the man asked bitterly.


    Aunt Lin sighed before saying to him with determination in her voice.


    "Don''t waste your time pleading with me. I have made up my mind already. I won''t stop you from coming here. You can come and see our daughter and me any time you want, and besides, the doors of this house are open to you."


    The man glanced at Aunt Lin with a somber look. The determination he saw in her eyes was strong, which got him a little scared.


    "Lin, I know that I have wronged you. I abandoned you when you needed me the most, and for that reason, I am very sorry. You, giving me the chance to get close to our daughter is already fine with me, but it''s not enough. I need you in my life. I have lost so much all these years, emotionally, physically, psychologically, and even financially. You have no idea how awful lot I''ve lost. You are the only one that can make me whole even though I have lost almost everything. I am not coming for your money and the connections you have. I am here because I need you in my life. I need you as my life partner," the man voiced as he felt his heart hurt.


    "Stop pleading with me. I have made up my mind already," Aunt Lin insisted on not getting together with him.


    The man took a glimpse at Chen Lin with a devastating look.


    "Stop looking at me like that," Aunt Lin said with furrowed brows, but the man didn''t reply to her; instead, he continued staring at her.


    "Where are you staying?" Aunt Lin asked.


    "I''ve been at a hotel," the man replied finally.


    "You can move in today if you like," Aunt Lin said but then frowned as she held her abdomen when she felt a sharp, searing pain there.


    Noticing that she had stopped speaking and looked like she was in pain, the man rushed towards her and asked worriedly while holding her arms.


    "Lin! Are you okay? What happened?" he asked frantically.


    Aunt Lin breathed heavily, and she looked like she was still in a lot of pain, so she didn''t answer his question while still clutching her abdomen.


    "Does your stomach hurt? Let''s go to the hospital now," the man said in a flurry while helping her to her feet.


    "Am fine," Aunt Lin said in a mellow tone.


    "Mum! Mum! What happened to you?" Aunt Lin''s daughter asked as she came running down the stairs worriedly.


    "Nothing am fine. Just felt a pain in my stomach earlier, but I am fine now," Aunt Lin replied to her daughter, but this time in a clearer voice.


    "Mum, you need to stop with this diet you are doing and eat normal food," her daughter said in an annoying voice.


    "That''s not the problem. Eating healthy, it''s not bad," Aunt Lin said while staring at her daughter.


    The man who had been watching the mother and daughter argue finally spoke up.


    "Lin, what kind of diet are you undergoing that had forced you to look this way?"


    "Enough on my diet already. I am only eating more veggies these days, and nothing more," Aunt Lin said in an annoyed tone as she got up and left the sitting room.


    The father and daughter watched as her back finally disappeared before they glanced at each other and sighed tiredly.


    "How long has your mother been on that diet?" the man asked.


    "It''s over a year now, and it''s working for her," his daughter replied.


    The man sighed before asking again, "Are you off to work?"


    "Yeah," she replied, not knowing where exactly to put her face. She was not used to having a conversation with her father.


    "Please look after your mum and ensure that she has her breakfast this morning," the man said.


    "She doesn''t eat normal food these days, so she won''t touch it," she replied.


    The man sighed tiredly as he said.


    "Okay, just check up on her to be sure she is fine before she leaves for work. Your mother looked angry just now, and I am sure she wouldn''t want to see me for now.

 Chapter 304 - Another woman outside.

    That same evening, Aunt Lin''s ex moved into her house after thinking things through.


    Being close to the woman he loves and their daughter was the best thing he could ever ask for. He could also use that opportunity to get in the good books of his love, to see if he could change her mind about their union.


    Two days later...


    The woman whom Aunt Lin''s ex divorced recently is seen happily ordering people around as they move things into the new apartment. She had managed to get her ex-lover to pay for everything.


    She had finally gotten what she wanted, so of course, she would be happy.


    "Careful! You will break that vase, do you know how much it cost me?" she shouted arrogantly.


    "I will just make do of this one for now. He would have to buy me a bigger house soon," she said to herself in all smiles.


    "Son, you can go and check out your room. It has been well furnished," the woman said as she turned to her son.


    The boy looked excited in the wheelchair he was confined to. So the female servant that had been behind his back wheeled him to take a look at his bedroom.


    The house they moved into was a three-bedroom apartment located in a different city.


    The price of housing there was neither expensive nor cheap. So the woman wasn''t too happy seeing that where she finally settled in was of a lower grade than where she lived before.


    The intentions of the man settling her in another city were because he wanted her to stay far away from him.


    But this brainless woman didn''t even know about it. She was only happy that she had gotten ahold of him and was planning further on how to rip him off more money.


    When her ex-lover paid for the hospital bills and the accommodation, he advised her to get herself a job and stop staying idle.


    But the woman had her own plans. She didn''t have in mind to stress herself by working. She just wanted to sit at home doing nothing, but money would be entering her account.


    As for her daughter, who had refused to pick her calls, she sent the address of their new house to her, asking her to come home.


    It was now left for the young lady to come home because her mother didn''t know her whereabouts and could not come personally drag her back.


    As for the young lady in question, she was currently having a sumptuous meal with her ''grandmother''.


    The young lady was happily eating while picking some side dishes for her ''grandmother''.


    What a harmonious atmosphere indeed.


    The old lady kept smiling from ear to ear.


    "Has your mother contacted you since then?" the old lady asked while wiping her lips clean.


    The young lady swallowed the food in her mouth before proceeding to reply.


    "Yes. She sent me a text message about the address of her new house."


    The old lady briefly paused in her actions before she continued. Then she asked this question as if she doesn''t care.


    "Who knows who got the house for her? Do you plan on going to live with her?"


    "No! Am not going back to live with her, I want to stay with you," the young girl said in a determined voice.


    "You can stay here all you want. Where does she live now?" the old lady probed further.


    The young lady, without thinking much, gave her the address.


    "Oh! She is staying in a different city? It would be good if she changes from her ways and lives there peacefully," the old lady said before gulping down a glass of water.


    The young lady just nodded and continued with her food.


    In the evening, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were both working, each minding their own business.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes felt tired, so she shut her laptop down before removing the glasses over her eyes. Then she sighed tiredly.


    "Tired?" Liu Longwei asked, looking up from the doc.u.ments in his hands.


    "Yeah, a bit. But my eyes are more tired than my brain," Chen Lihua replied as she chuckled softly.


    "Rest them then. You should try to reduce the time you spend looking at your phones or the computer screen. It''s not good for your eyes and the surgeries you perform at the hospital, too," Liu Longwei advice, as he was worried about her health.


    "I only work with the laptop at home because that''s when I have the time. As for my phone, I don''t even have the time to look at it. If you are talking about the surgeries I perform in the hospital because of the light used in the theater, you should forget it. I cannot stop performing surgeries because of my eyes, it wasn''t what I signed up for," Chen Lihua explained calmly.


    "I didn''t ask you to stop your work. I''m only telling you to reduce the number of surgeries you partake in because of your sight. If your eyesight should deteriorate, then you wouldn''t be able to perform surgeries again," Liu Longwei explained further.


    Chen Lihua sighed before saying in agreement, "Ok, I will listen to you."


    Then as she reached out for the glass of water on her desk, her hand mistakenly hit her glasses, and it fell to the floor.


    "What fell?" Liu Longwei asked as he watched Chen Lihua immediately bend to pick up something.


    "My glasses," Chen Lihua replied as she gave the glasses a good look to see if it was broken after picking it up.


    "Thank goodness it''s not broken," Chen Lihua said as she sighed in relief.


    "Do you have a spare?" Liu Longwei asked, with his gaze fixed on her.


    "You mean the glasses? I don''t have another pair. This is all I''ve got," Chen Lihua replied as she put the glasses over eyes while holding unto its hands.


    "That''s not a good idea. You should have several pairs of them in case of contingencies. What if it broke now, then you wouldn''t have another pair to replace it. In life, you should always have a backup plan," Liu Longwei advised.


    Looking away from the glasses in her hands, Chen Lihua gave him a hard stare before asking with a facade of a smile.


    "Since you always have backup plans, do you have another woman outside you would replace me with if I fail or get broken?"

 Chapter 305 - Feeling better after receiving a kiss.

    Looking away from the glasses in her hands, Chen Lihua gave him a hard stare before asking with a facade of a smile.


    "Since you always have backup plans, do you have another woman outside you would replace me with if I fail or get broken?"


    Liu Longwei was shocked and taken aback by her words.


    Just now, he was talking about her glasses and advising her, so how did it turn to him having another woman outside that he would replace her with?


    Liu Longwei was indeed speechless while glancing at his wife.


    "Lihua, you know that''s not what I am talking about. How could you twist my words like that?" Liu Longwei said in a grave tone.


    "And besides, I don''t have any woman outside. I only have one woman, and that''s you," he continued.


    Chen Lihua was quiet for a while as she continued staring at him. Then she chuckled loudly.


    "Hahaha....haha. I was joking. You should have seen the look on your face," Chen Lihua said while laughing out loud.


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh as he moved his gaze from her and back to the doc.u.ments he was working on.


    He didn''t know how to react to his wife''s teasing, so he thought it would be best if he continued with his work.


    Getting no reaction from him, Chen Lihua laughed softly as she approached him and asked, "Are you angry? Don''t be angry, I was only joking. How could I mean what I said when you were seriously giving me good advice that would be beneficial to me?"


    Liu Longwei glanced at the hand that was placed on his shoulder before looking up at the woman who still had a smile on her face.


    "I am not angry," Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Are you sure?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Mmm," Liu Longwei replied as he focused his gaze on the doc.u.ment and then picked up a pen to mark somewhere on the paper.


    "Then give me a smile," Chen Lihua insisted as she gently massaged his shoulders.


    "Honey, I''m not angry, seriously. I have an important doc.u.ment that I want to work on," Liu Longwei assured her, refusing to smile as he continued with his work.


    He wasn''t angry or anything. He just did not want to smile.


    Chen Lihua could not stand him ignoring her; then, she got an idea while a sly smile crept up on her face.


    She sat on his laps before taking away the pen and doc.u.ments in his hands and placing them at a corner of the table where it would not be an easy reach for him.


    "Lihua, what are you doing?" Liu Longwei asked as he failed to reach his work doc.u.ments.


    "Sshhh...sh," Chen Lihua shushed him with a finger on her lip before she lowered her head to kiss his lips while caressing his face, neck, and upper body gently.


    Liu Longwei didn''t push her away, and instead accepted her kisses and even returned the gesture.


    While kissing his wife, Liu Longwei caressed her sides and back.


    When the kiss was getting heated, Chen Lihua slowly left his lips and stared into his eye for a few seconds before speaking up.


    "I hope you feel better now?" she asked softly.


    "Yeah," Liu Longwei replied in a low husky voice and tried to resume their kissing section, but Chen Lihua blocked his lips with her palm.


    "No....no. We have to get back to work. I will request for new sets of customized glasses when I get to the hospital tomorrow after a check-up," Chen Lihua said while standing up from his laps.


    Liu Longwei looked on as she walked back to her seat.


    He licked his lips slowly before answering back, "Don''t forget to choose beautiful designs. You can get new pairs of sunglasses as well."


    "Ok, I will do that as well," Chen Lihua complied as she picked up her phone to book an appointment with the ophthalmology department of the hospital she worked.


    Liu Longwei nodded satisfactorily before they continued with their work.


    The next day, a brief test was conducted on Chen Lihua''s eyes. Since she just wanted new sets of customized glasses, a little test was done so they would be able to wash the glasses correctly.


    Chen Lihua ordered for five sets. Since she had the money, it wasn''t a problem for her.


    The ophthalmology department assured her that her glasses would be ready in no time and delivered directly to her office when they were ready.


    After work that evening, Chen Lihua branched into a high-end store that dealt mainly with Sunglasses, shoes, and bags.


    When she entered the store, she was given a warm welcome even though her identity wasn''t recognized because of how she looked.


    Chen Lihua dressed casually today with her hair in a bun and her medicated glasses covering her eyes.


    Although she looked familiar to the store attendants, they couldn''t pinpoint where they had seen her before. Still, they attended to her like every other customer they''ve received in their store so far.


    Chen Lihua went on to check out the sunglasses they had.


    Since she was satisfied with their products, and the way she was welcomed, she picked ten different styles and designs of sunglasses.


    Her eyes caught onto some simple-looking but expensive bags, and so she picked them up.


    When she reached the counter to pay, the shop attendants were happy that she picked a lot of expensive goods. So they smiled and packaged the items she bought after swiping her black card.


    One of them wanted to help Chen Lihua carry the shopping bags to the car, but Chen Lihua rejected her politely.


    And as she left the store, they bowed to her and asked her to come again.


    After leaving the store, Chen Lihua found a restaurant and stopped by. She ordered a lot of take-away snacks and drinks.


    So while they got her order ready, she sat by a chair sipping on an orange juice.


    Just then, a lady with an average height who had a pair of sunglasses over her eyes came in with two other young ladies.


    The three of them were dressed in the same style of clothes, but different colors.


    The clothes they were dressed in revealed their shoulders and a little part of their stomach and legs.

 Chapter 306 - A lecture from Chen Lihua.

    The three of them were dressed in the same style of clothes, but different colors.


    The clothes they were dressed in revealed their shoulders and a little part of their stomach and legs.


    The lady in the middle seemed to have seen Chen Lihua when her eyes were scanning the restaurant. So she removed her Sunglasses, revealing her made-up face.


    The lady was Zie Yu, Liu Longwei''s ex. Once she sighted Chen Lihua, she scoffed.


    "Yu, what is it?" one of her friends asked as she followed the direction of her gaze.


    The other one, known as Zu Mei, followed Zie Yu''s gaze as well. Recognizing who Chen Lihua was, she asked with an agitated voice, "Is she not Chen Lihua?"


    "The woman Brother Longwei got married to?" the other person added.


    "You are both correct. She is the one," Zie Yu replied in a smile, then she added while putting back her sunglasses ?????.


    "Let''s go and say hello," Zie Yu said with a smug look on her face as she took a step towards Chen Lihua, and her friends followed suit.


    Without asking for permission, the three ladies rudely pulled out a chair and sat at the same table as Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua noticed them earlier when they walked towards her, but she didn''t make any movement.


    But now that they were sitting at her table without asking for permission, she merely glanced at them and continued with her drink.


    Receiving no reaction from her, Zie Yu and her friends became a little agitated. So Zie Yu had no choice than to speak up.


    "Look, who we have here?" she asked in disdain.


    "Miss Chen," Zu Mei replied with a scorn look on her face.


    "That''s right, she is... Miss Chen," the other replied as she scanned Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua didn''t say a word to them, and her eyes didn''t rest on them either.


    To the ladies, there was nothing more that was pissing them off than being ignored.


    "Miss Chen, I am indeed surprised by your arrogant behavior. We saw you immediately we came in and decided to come and say hello to you. But instead of replying, you ignored us. Is that how you were trained?" Zie Yu''s other friend said to Chen Lihua in anger.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her before moving her gaze away from her.


    The three ladies were not finding the treatment they were receiving from Chen Lihua funny. It felt like they were punching a cotton candy.


    These are ladies that liked seeking attention anywhere at any given time. So being ignored was like the highest insult you could ever give to them.


    "Don''t bother wasting your time on her. She looks like she is going through a lot. Maybe she is being treated like a slave in the Liu family, and that''s why she has no joy," Zie Yu replied while giving Chen Lihua a provocative look.


    "Wow! That''s a good idea, Yu. She must be having a hard time in the Liu family," Zu Mei commented with a smug look on her face.


    "I am quite sure that with her attitude, she won''t be loved by any member of the Liu family," the other young lady replied in a smile.


    No matter what they said, they failed to receive a response from Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua gazed at the three of them before picking up her phone. She pressed the screen a few times before putting it back into her bag.


    The three ladies were seething with rage by now. They said all sorts of provoking words just to annoy and anger Chen Lihua, in other to get a response from her, but it seemed like they were wasting their time.


    There was not even a response or a reaction from Chen Lihua. She merely glanced at them, and it seemed like the highest acknowledgment she could give to them, to show that they were existing.


    They were so pissed off.


    "Chen Lihua! Who do you think you are to ignore us? Just because you married into the Liu family, you became arrogant, and for that, you think you are capable?" Zu Mei asked angrily as she hit the table with her palm.


    "Let me remind you that the seat you are sitting on doesn''t belong to you. Only our capable Zie Yu should be sitting on it," the other lady said.


    Listening to her friends, and watching them speak up for her, Zie Yu smiled proudly as she adjusted her clothes.


    Chen Lihua finally reacted to them. She scoffed at them before saying each word that came out from her mouth, seriously.


    "Zie Yu, right? If you were capable enough, you would indeed be the Liu family''s young mistress instead of me.


    Secondly, if you lot were brought up properly, you would have sought my permission before joining me at my table, because we are not familiar with each other.


    Thirdly, when trying to talk to someone you don''t know, or greet them as you said, then you should please have it in mind to take off your sunglasses, in other to be recognized."


    "Excuse me, Ma''am, your order is ready," a waiter came by and said to Chen Lihua.


    "Thank you. Someone will come to pick it up," Chen Lihua said as she passed her black card to him.


    The waiter bowed and left with her black card.


    Now turning to the three ladies who were fuming in anger, Chen Lihua continued.


    "Sorry for the interruption. You maligned the Liu family, and I''ve got it all recorded here," Chen Lihua said as she showed them the recorded voice note on her phone, which caused gasps of shocks to escape from their lips.


    "Next time, watch your tongues, and be mindful of your words so you won''t get into trouble," Chen Lihua advised them before putting her phone away.


    "Lastly, it''s Mrs Liu. I am now married and have become the young mistress of the Liu family, and I should be addressed as such. Am sure you are all aware of being married but still address me as Miss Chen. My best advice for you three is that you should occupy your idle minds and self with reading books on ethics and manners, so you wouldn''t embarrass yourself and families. Goodbye," Chen Lihua finished her speech and got up to leave with the two bodyguards that somehow appeared inside the restaurant.

 Chapter 307 - The Video.

    "My best advice for you three is that you should occupy your idle minds and self with reading books on ethics and manners, so you wouldn''t embarrass yourself and families. Goodbye," Chen Lihua finished her speech and got up to leave with the two bodyguards that somehow appeared inside the restaurant.


    As Chen Lihua walked away, Zie Yu stood up with rage, such that the chair made a screeching sound, and it alerted the other customers in the restaurant.


    Immediately, her eyes went for the orange juice Chen Lihua had been drinking but didn''t finish.


    She picked it up and threw it towards Chen Lihua''s direction while screaming, "Chen Lihua, you bitch!"


    Everyone present in the restaurant had shocked looks on their faces as they watched the cup of orange juice flying towards Chen Lihua''s direction.


    They gasped in shock while waiting for the juice to land on Chen Lihua''s back, but that didn''t happen. Instead, one of the bodyguards walking behind Chen Lihua immediately turned around and kicked the cup of orange away.


    He sent it flying back towards Zie Yu''s direction.


    Midway, the cover of the cup opened, and its content poured on the three ladies.


    And Chen Lihua turned in time to catch this embarrassing moment.


    Chen Lihua didn''t even know the commotion that was happening behind her. It was the screams from the three ladies that alerted her.


    And if not for the bodyguard''s fast reflexes, the orange juice would have poured on them and possibly her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the pathetic situation the three of them were in. She scoffed at them before walking away with her bodyguards, leaving them with their miserable looks.


    The three ladies screamed on top of their voices while holding unto their dresses.


    "Ahhhhh!!!"


    "I have never been embarrassed this way in my life before!" the other of Zie Yu''s friends said in tears.


    Zie Yu, on the other hand, was about to faint from anger. She had never pictured herself in this type of situation before.


    "I should have checked my Zodiac sign before coming out today!" Zu Mei cried out in agony as she tried brushing away the stains on her dress caused by the orange juice.


    When Zie Yu noticed that they were being filmed, she directed a death glare towards them and screamed at them, "Stop filming!"


    The anger in her voice caused them to stop filming her involuntarily.


    Seeing that they had stop filming, Zie Yu went on to threaten them.


    "If I see any pictures or any videos online, I will sue that person. Mark my words, I am Zie Yu."


    After saying her piece, Zie Yu walked away, and her two friends followed after her.


    The three of them climbed into the same car furiously.


    "What guts does that mere bodyguard have to bully us?!" Zu Mei asked angrily.


    "Well, that mere bodyguard just splashed an orange juice on us," the other woman replied, Zu Mei in anger.


    "Will the both of you just shut it?!" Zie Yu shrieked at them and ordered the driver to drive them away.


    "That Chen Lihua indeed has the guts of a leopard. She just keeps humiliating me time and time again. I would teach her such a lesson she would never forget," Zie Yu swore with reddened eyes.


    "Yu, I advise you to let her be. This is the second time she is humiliating us. The first time, she pissed us off with her words. This time around, she did the same, and her bodyguard crowned the insults we received from her today by splashing that orange juice on us. The next time we will meet her and cause trouble, who knows what she would do to us," Zu Mei said, a little frightened.


    "Since she has humiliated you two before, why did you come asking for trouble the second time, and this time around, you even dragged me along. Now my reputation and my dress have been ruined. From what I am seeing, this Miss Chen is not to be trifled with. So remember not to take me along when you go looking for her trouble next time," Zie Yu''s other friend said in anger as she looked at Zie Yu and Zu Mei from the front passenger seat.


    "What are you two scared of? You are behaving like cowards," Zie Yu asked with a heavy tone.


    "Yu, the two times we acted courageously, did you see what it costs us, and now you want us to keep humiliating ourselves just so you could get back at her?" Zu Mei asked furiously.


    "As for me, I am scared of ruining my image, so I cannot be a partaker of your next plan. Please drop me at my house. And now I have to think of how I would avoid those ugly ducklings I just made fun of before leaving the house," Zie Yu''s other friend complained bitterly.


    She quarreled with two of her stepsisters before leaving the house. And now she was looking for a way to avoid them, so they would not see the embarrassing situation she was in and make fun of her.


    "If you two do not want to collaborate with me, then it''s alright. I will do it alone, so stop whining in my ears!" Zie Yu snapped.


    She couldn''t believe the friends that were supposed to stand by her in times of trouble were ditching her because they were scared of Chen Lihua.


    This made her angrier and more determined to deal with Chen Lihua, forgetting that Chen Lihua was on her own the two times she went asking to be humiliated.


    When the three left the restaurant, the people quietened down as they began to digest the scene that occurred right in front of them.


    "Did anyone get the full video or recording?" one young lady asked, breaking the silence.


    She was elegantly dressed in a white gown that reached her knees. She looked pretty.


    She seemed to have animosity with Zie Yu to have asked for a recording and video of what transpired.


    "I-I have a video," a young teenage boy replied timidly as he raised his phone.


    "Good!" the young lady replied in a smile as she walked towards him.


    When she finally approached the boy, he immediately played the video, and more people gathered to watch the video as well.


    The video started playing when Chen Lihua was already sitting and drinking her orange juice until Zie Yu threatened them.

 Chapter 308 - His wifes scent.

    When she finally approached the boy, he immediately played the video, and more people gathered to watch the video as well.


    The video started playing when Chen Lihua was already sitting and drinking her orange juice until Zie Yu threatened them.


    "So the young lady with the bodyguards is Miss Chen, who got married to the billionaire, Liu Longwei?" Customer A asked in sudden realization.


    "Yes, she is the one. You just heard her address herself as the young mistress of the Liu family," Customer B replied.


    "At the beginning, I thought that Miss Chen would be bullied by the three ladies, but who knew that she was well prepared for them," Customer C said.


    "This Miss Chen Might look weak, but she is not to be trifled with," Customer D said.


    "You could very well see the difference in their upbringing and character. One is like a Phoenix, while the other is like a peac.o.c.k," Customer B said.


    "Yes, you are right. Miss Chen never raised her voice. She sat elegantly and watched them finish ranting their nonsense before giving them advice," Another customer replied.


    "Wow! How did you manage to start recording from the onset?" one of the customer''s curiously asked the young teenage boy.


    The young boy smiled as he replied. "I was dining with my friends when Miss Chen walked in. She has been my idol for a long time. I was so shy to greet her, so I decided to record a short video of her. And when I was about saving the video, I saw the three ladies approaching her with hostility, so I decided to keep filming."


    "You did well!" the young lady in white replied.


    "But now, I can no longer share the video online even if wanted," the boy said with regret.


    "Don''t worry, I will do it for you," the young lady in white said in a smile.


    The teenage boy and the other customers stared at the young lady in shock.


    "Young lady, did you not hear Miss Zie Yu threatening us? She would sue the person that uploads the video online," one of the customers reminded her.


    "There is someone that is not afraid of her, and they can have fun suing each other if and only if Zie Yu is able to find the culprit," the young lady said without fear and smiled after that.


    She got the teenage boy to share the video with her. Next, she asked the restaurant manager to delete the CCTV footage that involved all the customers present when Zie Yu caused a scene so that Zie Yu wouldn''t be able to trace the person that shared the video online when it leaked.


    She even offered the manager money to see to it that he deleted the CCTV footage per her request.


    The manager did as he requested. He didn''t want his store to get into trouble, so he had to do whatever he could to save it.


    "This Miss Chen is interesting," the young lady in white said and thanked the boy while patting his back before leaving the restaurant.


    After she left, the remaining customers went back to what they were doing before the commotion.


    When the lady in white got into her car, she immediately made a phone call.


    "I have something for you. Check your phone," she said to the person on the other end of the line before terminating the call.


    "Things would be fun to watch soon," she said to herself in a smile as the driver drove the car away.


    As for Chen Lihua, she wasn''t angry at all. She was happy to have gotten Zie Yu and her friends to embarrass themselves.


    But in another part of her heart, she wondered what Liu Longwei was thinking and how his taste was like before, when he got himself such a troublesome ex-girlfriend.


    She didn''t even know if she should pity him or be angry at him for his taste.


    She was sure he broke up with Zie Yu because he couldn''t condone her madness any longer.


    Zie Yu was a stubborn, arrogant, and spoilt princess who liked causing trouble to the people she felt were her rivals.


    Any man that got into a relationship with Zie Yu would suffer.


    That was the conclusion Chen Lihua came up with.


    When Chen Lihua got home, she distributed the snacks and drinks to all the servants and bodyguards.


    She also left a portion for her husband, who was on his way back from work.


    Chen Lihua entered into the bedroom she hadn''t been to in a while. She really missed her bedroom.


    She went into her walk-in closet to arrange the items she bought from the store.


    Just when she was about leaving the walk-in closet, she remembered something and opened the drawer to reveal the perfume she once hid in there after her scent party, during the week of her bridal shower.


    When she opened the perfume bottle and sniffed the cover. She immediately fell in love with the fragrance, so she took it with her to Liu Longwei''s room.


    She also took more of her items that she would need in the meantime.


    The perfume she took to Liu Longwei''s room was almost finished, so she decided to try the new one in her hands once that one was up.


    These days, Liu Longwei sometimes used her perfume. And when she asked him what happened to his, he said that he wanted to smell like her, and for his office to have her scent so that he would have something that would remind him of her when he missed her.


    Chen Lihua laughed at him and asked him if he wasn''t ashamed to wear a woman''s perfume to work, where he would meet with investors and his employees, but Liu Longwei said he didn''t mind; after all, it was his wife''s scent he was wearing.


    Chen Lihua blushed and tried to escape from him when she was met with the heated gaze he directed at her, but Liu Longwei caught her arm and pulled her back before giving her a deep kiss, full of his affection for her.

 Chapter 309 - Intentions.

    Chen Lihua blushed and tried to escape from him when she was met with the heated gaze he directed at her, but Liu Longwei caught her arm and pulled her back before giving her a deep kiss, full of his affection for her.


    Remembering the past scene, Chen Lihua blushed and smiled to herself.


    Liu Longwei came home an hour later. He washed up and enjoyed the snacks his wife got for him.


    "If you want to eat anything, just tell the chefs what you want, and your order will be ready. You don''t need to stress yourself by buying foods and snacks outside," Liu Longwei reminded her.


    "I know. I just find it fun buying snacks outside when I''m in the mood for it," Chen Lihua replied.


    During their regular evening routine of being busy in the study together, Liu Longwei was left alone.


    Chen Lihua was organizing Liu Longwei''s walk-in closet to her taste. The task wasn''t much or hectic, so she didn''t need anyone''s help.


    She did so for a few minutes before joining Liu Longwei in the study.


    And when she stepped into the study, Liu Longwei was dropping his tablet on the desk.


    "I have not seen you lecturing anyone before. But watching this video has opened my eyes. You are really a fierce woman," Liu Longwei said as his gaze followed her.


    "What are you talking about?" Chen Lihua asked in confusion as she approached his side.


    "What happened today?" Liu Longwei asked instead of giving an answer to her question.


    "Today?! Nothing interesting happened today," Chen Lihua replied as she sat opposite him with her eyes looking all over his desk and the stacks of papers on his desk.


    "Are you sure nothing interesting happened?" Liu Longwei asked, staring at her.


    Chen Lihua looked back at him and said, "Nothing interesting happened today. The patient in need of a heart transplant was transferred to the hospital today, and a series of tests were conducted on her. Then we reviewed her health records and discussed how the surgery will go, and tasks were assigned to the attending surgeons for that day," Chen Lihua said.


    "It''s good to know that the preparations for the heart transplant are going on well. But that''s not what I am talking about. Has Zie Yu being pestering you for a while now?" Liu Longwei asked while peering at her, seeking for answers.


    "Your ex? She is quite a stubborn and arrogant woman who doesn''t want to learn her lesson. But why are you suddenly asking about her?" Chen Lihua asked as she shifted herself comfortably on the seat while looking at her husband with keen interest.


    "I saw the way you handled her today. You did a good job. I never knew you had the innate talent of pissing off people with your words," Liu Longwei applauded her in a smile.


    "Oh, that! It''s nothing," Chen Lihua said as she relaxed more comfortably. But then, something struck her, so she sat up immediately and asked with furrowed brows.


    "How did you know what happened today? Did the bodyguards tell you about it?"


    "I saw it here," Liu Longwei said as he passed the tablet over to her.


    As Chen Lihua got hold of the tablet and played the video, Liu Longwei added, "The news is all over the place. Ah! Now everyone will know how fierce my wife is~."


    "I can''t believe this. The video has million-plus views within twenty minutes. Who posted this?" Chen Lihua asked in a frown.


    She was shocked when she saw the video, and when she did, it had already gone viral.


    Now what she most curious about was who posted it on the internet. The whole time she was sitting there (in the restaurant), she didn''t even know that she was being filmed.


    It seemed like she had to be on alert at public places, or rather have the bodyguards around her.


    "Has she been bothering you for a while now?" Liu Longwei repeated this question the second time.


    He really wanted to know if his ex has been bothering his wife. And he wouldn''t take it likely with her if she was actually disturbing his wife.


    "This is the second time she is doing this," Chen Lihua replied with her eyes still glued on the tablet.


    "Why didn''t you say anything? And the bodyguards by your side didn''t tell me anything about your first and second encounter with her, I would have taken care of the matter immediately," Liu Longwei said with creased brows.


    "Oh, don''t worry about that. Zie Yu is easy to handle, so you don''t need to do anything for now. She just has cheap tricks up her sleeves. As for the bodyguards, I instructed them not to tell you about it, so you don''t have to worry about insignificant matters," Chen Lihua said to him.


    "As far as I am concerned, no matter about you is insignificant. You said Zie Yu had cheap tricks up her sleeves. Did you see what would have happened if one of the bodyguards didn''t kick the juice away? She may have cheap tricks up her sleeves, but she could harm you with it," Liu Longwei lectured.


    Chen Lihua sighed and tried to pacify him, "I know her petty tricks could be dangerous, but I''m not worried about it. I know her heart is not evil. She is just trying to get back at me because she feels that I took something that belongs to her. Besides, I don''t think she wants to go to prison or ruin her family''s prestige, so don''t get too worked up. You can just have the bodyguards stay by my side if you are too worried about me getting hurt."


    "And that''s what I would do. Am truly sorry for the troubles Zie Yu has caused you so far, it''s all my fault, so I will do something about it. Next time if you experience a threat from anyone, or sense any danger, report to me immediately," Liu Longwei said in all seriousness.


    "Alright," Chen Lihua replied in a smile.


    "Do you have an idea of the person that uploaded this video? And I think the person did a good job because Zie Yu would be so pissed off after her pride gets hurt, and I bet she would learn to stay still," Chen Lihua said.


    Liu Longwei picked up his phone and made a call. He instructed the person on the other end to find the ID of the person behind the video.


    And after the call, he said to Chen Lihua in all seriousness, "You think the person might have done a good job in infuriating Zie Yu, and you are happy about it because you think she wouldn''t come disturbing you again. But I disagree with you. Until the motive behind the upload of the video is known, don''t conclude anything yet. While you think she wouldn''t come looking for trouble, I think it''s the other way round. This video will only make her want to take revenge on you. As you said, her pride would be hurt when she sees this video, so why don''t you think she would want to retaliate and get back at you. The person behind the upload of this video might not mean well," Liu Longwei concluded.


    Chen Lihua sank into deep thought and nodded.


    "What you deduced makes a lot of sense, but why don''t you think the person behind the video might have done it to embarrass Zie Yu, without having any other thing in mind?" Chen Lihua asked.

 Chapter 310 - Seeking for attention.

    "What you deduced makes a lot of sense, but why don''t you think the person behind the video might have done it to embarrass Zie Yu, without having any other thing in mind?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "I''ve had a lot of enemies, and I still have, so I am speaking from experience. This video has brought you to the limelight, so you need to be cautious," Liu Longwei said worriedly.


    And as Chen Lihua opened her mouth intending to refute his words, Liu Longwei''s phone rang.


    He picked up the call and listened to the person at the other end. The person said something that caused his brows to crease.


    "Check the CCTV footage in the restaurant, and track the IP address. One more thing, involve ''X'' if the matter gets out of your hands," Liu Longwei said.


    "What happened?" Chen Lihua inquired when he finished with the call.


    She saw the crease on his brows, so she became worried.


    "It turns out the culprit used a fake ID as expected," Liu Longwei replied.


    "How did you know that?" Chen Lihua asked, a little surprised.


    "Who would like to get into trouble by using a real ID to post that video online? The culprit knows what he/she is doing. He/she has you on one end, and Zie Yu at the other end. At least, they wouldn''t want to be found so easily," Liu Longwei said as he clasped his hands with his fingers interlaced on the desk.


    "Ok," Chen Lihua replied plainly as she sank into deep thought.


    "You don''t need to dwell on this matter, I will take care of it," Liu Longwei assured her.


    "Thank you. It''s time to get busy with my brain," Chen Lihua said as she picked up a stack of medical reports from her bag.


    The next morning at work, Liu Longwei sat as he keenly listened to Assistant Duyi report on his findings.


    "We weren''t able to lay our hands on the CCTV footage. The manager of the restaurant said some lady in white had asked him to delete them."


    "Was he able to describe the lady?" Liu Longwei asked as if he expected the results.


    "Yes, he did. So from his description, we got this image," Assistant Duyi replied as he placed a plain paper that had a woman''s picture drawn on it.


    "Good!" Liu Longwei said as he casually glanced at the picture before keeping the paper on his desk.


    "Boss, maybe you can try asking madam if she can recognize this woman," Assistant Duyi suggested.


    "No need," Liu Longwei replied.


    He sighed and then continued, "She doesn''t recognize people''s faces at the first meeting, so there''s no way she would be able to recognize someone she had no interaction with in the first place. That is her weak point, so do not let the word get out," Liu Longwei instructed in a serious tone.


    "Yes, Boss," Assistant Duyi replied, a little surprised. Then as if remembering something, he became calm.


    He remembered the day Chen Lihua ignored him when she came out of the restaurant with Liu Longwei. He had greeted her, but she acted like she hadn''t met him before.


    ''So that was the reason?'' he thought to himself.


    "Duplicate this. I want you to get a hold of this woman within the next 24-hours. Her intentions are important to me. Have you contacted ''X'' yet?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Not yet, Boss, since we have a lead," Assistant Duyi replied.


    "Leave him for now. I guess the task I''m asking you to do is easy?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yes, Boss," Assistant Duyi confirmed.


    "You can go," Liu Longwei said as he gave the plain paper back to him.


    Late into the night, Assistant Duyi contacted Liu Longwei.


    "Boss, we found her."


    "Go ahead!" Liu Longwei said with keen interest.


    "It seemed like she was expecting us to come searching for her, and we didn''t disappoint her," Assistant Duyi said and paused, as he waited for a response, but continued when he received none.


    "I spoke to her personally, so she opened up to me. She said she sent the video to her friend, who was once humiliated by Zie Yu a few years back when you two were still together, and that caused her family to nearly go bankrupt. So she had been looking for an opportunity to get back at Zie Yu, so she had to take the bull by the horn now that her family had a better footing than the Zie''s," Assistant Duyi explained.


    "What''s her reason for getting rid of the CCTV footage if she is not afraid of Zie Yu?" Liu Longwei asked after a few seconds.


    "She was seeking attention, but did not want to be found easily by any of the parties involved (Chen Lihua and Zie Yu)," Assistant Duyi replied and waited for a reply.


    Liu Longwei sighed and said after a deep thought. "You interrogated her yourself. How was her body language like? Do you think she was telling the truth?"


    "Boss, from my years of experience, I think she was telling the truth," Assistant Duyi replied.


    "You think? That means you are not sure," Liu Longwei said in a slightly heavy tone.


    "I''m sorry, Boss. I am sure she told the truth. She was really seeking for attention as she said. One more thing, Boss, she said she was only seeking to be found, so didn''t care about the Mistress and the animosity she created between her and Zie Yu."


    "It seemed like her friends like neither of them and instead wants them to get into a fight with each other," Liu Longwei said thoughtfully.


    "You are right, Boss. She seemed not to care about that," Assistant Duyi confirmed.


    "Since she was seeking attention, let''s give her what she wants," Liu Longwei said as a wicked smirk formed on his lips.


    "At your service, Boss," Assistant Duyi said while waiting for his orders.


    "Contact Zie Yu, and give up their identities to her. I bet she''s been looking for the culprit all these while. I want her attention to be diverted from my wife. The three of them can quarrel till death, I don''t care," Liu Longwei instructed.


    "Boss, that would be a big present you would be giving to Miss Zie Yu because as it stands now, she is mad with anger," Assistant Duyi informed.

 Chapter 311 - Got whacked in the head.

    "Boss, that would be a big present you would be giving to Miss Zie Yu because as it stands now, she is mad with anger," Assistant Duyi informed.


    Assistant Duyi was right because Zie Yu was fuming mad and searching for the culprit that uploaded that humiliating video of her on social media.


    "These bastards never learn until they are taught a lesson?!" Zie Yu roared as she pushed her beauty products off the vanity table.


    She came home angry yesterday but went to sleep a little happy. She woke up this morning happy with a face mask on her face, only to receive a notification on her phone. And when she clicked the link open, what she saw shocked her.


    "These idiots didn''t listen to me! They better pray I don''t find them, because if I do, they would wish they never appeared before me!" Zie Yu swore in anger as she roughly used wet cotton wool to clean off the mask on her face.


    Zie Yu was not the only one angry; her friends were equally furious. They were crying for appearing in the headlines in such an embarrassing way.


    They badly wanted to deal with the person behind the video. But when they remembered that there was a Zie Yu who wouldn''t take a grain of sand in her eyes, they slowly retreated from the front line and left everything for her to shoulder.


    Since they had someone to deal with their problems, they relaxed at home and stayed away from the prying eyes of the public.


    As for Zie Yu''s friend, who embarrassed her stepsisters the other day, she hid in her room, refusing to come out no matter what was said to her.


    And in order not to let her starve, her food was brought to her bedroom directly.


    She even missed an important function which she was supposed to attend with her father. And now, her stepsisters got the opportunity to be in the limelight which belonged to her.


    But all these were not important. What was important was for the general public to forget about that video, and only then could she have peace of mind and step out once again.


    As for Zu Mei, she gave the servant that opened the door for her a tight slap.


    "Didn''t you hear me knocking all these while?" she asked after slapping her.


    The servant held her face, where the slap landed, and apologized, not daring to cry.


    "Am sorry young miss."


    "Sorry, my foot! Get out of my sight!" Zu Mei roared as she walked in after pushing the servant aside.


    "Oh! My! Young miss, what happened to you?!" another servant asked with a shocked, filled face.


    "What does it look like to you? Scram!" Zu Mei shouted angrily as she gave this servant a slap.


    Hearing the commotion that was happening, Zu Mei''s mother appeared. And when she saw her daughter in a total mess, she asked worriedly, "Mei, what happened to you?"


    Zu Mei ignored her and just stalked-off, continuing up the stairs.


    Being ignored by her daughter, the middle-aged woman sighed and asked the servant to quickly follow her and help her out of that outfit.


    The servants were terrified now because no one wanted to get slapped in the face again. But who were they to reject an order?


    They immediately scrambled upstairs in fear of pissing off their mistress.


    It may look like Zu Mei had a worse temper than Zie Yu, but that was not the case.


    During breakfast, Zie Yu beat up a maid for accidentally scalding the back of her palm with hot tea when pouring the tea into a teacup for her. Thereby leaving scars on the maid''s back.


    Zie Yu was still pissed off and trying to find the culprit behind that video, so her temper was at its peak.


    When the servant scalded her hand, usually, she would have scolded the servant or deducted her pay. But she chose to beat up the servant.


    Why? Because she remembered being sent a flying cup of orange juice by Chen Lihua''s servant (the bodyguard), that left her humiliated till date. So, she felt that she was being bullied by mere servants, so she took out her anger on the maid.


    "Do you servants think you can bully me in my own house?!" she shouted angrily, and the nearby servants hurriedly lowered their heads in fear. None of them dared to talk or breathe loudly, for fear of getting killed.


    "Nonsense!" she howled and picked up her phone after asking the servant who spilled the hot tea on her hand to wait in the punishment room.


    Zie Yu was all alone at home because her father was on a business trip. He was the only person she had and could rely on in her immediate family.


    ''That arrogant bitch Zie Yu got what she deserved.'' That was the first comment Zie Yu saw in the comment section of the video.


    The comment was so eye-catching because her name was written in bold.


    Zie Yu couldn''t go ahead with reading the comments because she had lost her senses due to anger.


    So she hurriedly made a call, and in a few minutes, the video disappeared from the web.


    Zie Yu was not done there and further went ahead to find the culprit behind the video. She swore to feed their kidneys and livers to the wild animals.


    Zie Yu went back to the restaurant to look at their CCTV cameras but was told that it had been deleted.


    She threatened to sue them for telling her lies and for giving the video away in other to defame her.


    The restaurant manager told her he didn''t send any videos out of the CCTV clips. He only deleted them on someone''s order.


    And when Zie Yu caught that word, ''On someone''s order'' she immediately inquired of the person''s identity.


    When the manager hesitated to divulge the person''s identity, he got whacked in the head with Zie Yu''s handbag, so he had no other option than, to tell the truth.

 Chapter 312 - Special Identity.

    The restaurant manager told her he didn''t send any videos out of the CCTV clips. He only deleted them on someone''s order.


    And when Zie Yu caught that word, ''On someone''s order'' she immediately inquired of the person''s identity.


    When the manager hesitated to divulge the person''s identity, he got whacked in the head with Zie Yu''s handbag, so he had no other option than, to tell the truth.


    With this clue and the hint given to her by Liu Longwei, she finally discovered the person''s identity.


    Zie Yu was furious because the culprit was someone she used to trample on, and now it seemed like she suddenly grew wings to fly away from her grasp.


    "Wait until I deal with you, bitch! You think you have grown wings because your family sealed a few deals, and looks like it is more powerful than mine, I will show you who the Queen of the social circle is!" Zie Yu swore.


    The next morning before the couple left for their workplaces, Liu Longwei told Chen Lihua all his findings and the game he played on the culprits.


    Chen Lihua wasn''t surprised that Liu Longwei would catch the culprit; she trusted his capabilities.


    She thanked him for helping her out before leaving for the hospital.


    ''Did she forget to give me a kiss?'' Liu Longwei thought as he watched his wife walk away.


    As the day for the heart transplant surgery was fast approaching, Chen Lihua told Liu Longwei she would be away from home for three days.


    Liu Longwei understood her love and dedication to her work, so he complied. He would just have to swarm himself up with work, so he wouldn''t miss her much during the time she would be away.


    Chen Lihua was in a hurry today, as Liu Longwei kept teasing her this morning, thus delaying her.


    So she had to rush up to work as quickly as possible.


    Liu Longwei sent two bodyguards after her since they wouldn''t be seeing each other for three days.


    Chen Lihua didn''t have the time to argue with him, so she just allowed him to have his way. The most important thing for her right now was to get to the hospital on time.


    She has never been late since she started working at the hospital. The latest she had been was appearing a minute to the allocated time, so she has never been late.


    Walking into the hospital, Chen Lihua signed in, and when she was about taking the elevator to her floor, she bumped into someone.


    "Am sorry," she apologized without looking at the person and entered the elevator.


    The person she collided into was the same transfer doctor she bumped into the day when he was transferred to SUH (Standard Union Hospital).


    The foreign doctor wanted to call out to her but changed his mind when he saw how much of a hurry she was in.


    He smiled to himself and walked away.


    Fortunately, Chen Lihua got to her department on time, and she finally relaxed when she settled into her office.


    "Longwei, you are lucky!" Chen Lihua muttered under her breath.


    It looked like she would have killed her husband if she was late today.


    Chen Lihua checked her schedule for the day and sighed in relief.


    Since she would directly be assisting the Chief Cardiothoracic Surgeon, her schedule was cleared.


    She only had to do ward rounds in the morning, and then take a long break before meeting with the patient with the other surgeons in the evening.


    Till now, the identity of the patient had remained hidden for reasons best known to the Chief.


    According to the Chief, the patient had a special identity, so he could not let his identity be jeopardized before or even after the surgery was over. So he was only being careful.


    But they would finally meet the patient with a special identity that evening, in order to prepare him for the surgery against tomorrow morning.


    After her ward rounds, Chen Lihua took a long break.


    Usually, she would have been going through the patient''s record and trying to get more knowledge about the surgery. But she chose to relax, and that was because she has been preparing for the surgery for weeks already, so she chose to relax now.


    Chen Lihua played relaxing music in her office through the fancy Bluetooth speaker while eating some cookies.


    In the evening, when the patient arrived with a helicopter, the surgeons in charge of the surgery were called over to a small meeting room by their Chief.


    They met a distinguished figure in the meeting room, who was the patient they would operate on in less than twenty-four hours.


    The patient was the Minister for finance of Country C.


    The surgeons, including Chen Lihua, were overwhelmed with surprise. Still, they all masked it with the professional smiles on their faces.


    Chen Lihua wouldn''t have recognized the man if he didn''t attend her wedding, and if the Chief didn''t introduce him to them.


    Even if the Minister attended her wedding, she wouldn''t have recognized him if the Chief didn''t introduce him to them.


    While the Chief was speaking with them, the Deputy Chief was all smiles and tried making small talks with the Minister. But after receiving a look from the Chief, he contained himself.


    Chen Lihua sneered at him and was caught red-handed by the Deputy Chief himself. But Chen Lihua didn''t care and moved her gaze back to the Chief.


    The Deputy Chief stared at her for a while and scoffed after looking away from her.


    The Minister took his time to gaze at the surgeons that would be working on him. And when his eyes landed on Chen Lihua, he looked surprised, but then he smiled before whispering something to the Chief.


    The Chief listened to the Minister''s words before gazing at Chen Lihua, and then he nodded with a smile before whispering something back to the Minister.


    The Deputy Chief followed the Chief and the Minister''s gaze to Chen Lihua, and he became envious. But Chen Lihua, who was the centre of attention, had something else going on in her mind.

 Chapter 313 - Mentally and physically ready.

    The Deputy Chief followed the Chief and the Minister''s gaze to Chen Lihua, and he became envious. But Chen Lihua, who was the center of attention, had something else going on in her mind.


    So she was a bit distracted and lost in her thoughts. She only came back to reality when the Chief continued with his speech.


    After speaking, the Chief gave the Minister the platform to speak.


    The Minister spoke to them all with smiles. He told them not to be nervous because of his identity. He ended his speech by saying that he was in their capable hands and should take care of him.


    The surgeons gave him a round of applause with relaxed smiles.


    They were nervous, and most of them were scared because of the identity of the patient they would operate on, plus the intimidating bodyguards, standing behind him.


    But now that the Minister had spoken to them amicably, they became more relaxed freely.


    The Chief surgeon assigned some tasks to some of them before dismissing the rest.


    As Chen Lihua stood up to walk away, the Chief called her back.


    "Dr. Chen, please, may I have your attention?"


    Chen Lihua walked towards the Chief and the Minister, while the deputy chief lingered in the meeting room.


    "Dr. Chen, meet the Minister for finance. Sir, meet the world''s youngest cardiothoracic surgeon. She is the best among her peers, and she would be assisting me with your surgery," the Chief introduced the two individuals while praising Chen Lihua in all smiles.


    Chen Lihua and the Minister shook hands.


    "Dr. Chen, it''s good to see you after your wedding. I am in your hands, please take care of me," the Minister said to Chen Lihua as he smiled cheerfully.


    Chen Lihua returned a smile while saying, "We would do our best, Sir."


    The Minister chuckled loudly while saying, turning the Chief today, "I like this lad already. She is not nervous at all; neither is she trying to curry favors with me."


    "That is the way she is. She only treats me as her superior at work, and she is always serious," the Chief replied happily.


    Chen Lihua smiled and left after the Chief dismissed her.


    Chen Lihua walked back to her office and took a glass of water.


    When Chen Lihua left the meeting room, the deputy chief came out from his hiding place.


    When the Chief, the Minister, and Chen Lihua talked, he lingered in the room. He only left when he heard the Chief surgeon say to the Minister that Chen Lihua was to assist him with the surgery.


    He became jealous and envious because the Chief forgot about him, who has been working together with him for years before he met Chen Lihua.


    He was supposed to assist him directly throughout the heart transplant procedures. Still, he made Chen Lihua his personal assistant and made him who had a higher ranking and experienced doctor than Chen Lihua, his second assistant.


    So why wouldn''t he be jealous?


    His heartfelt so bitter that his thoughts changed, and so he began to make plans on how he would prevent Chen Lihua from partaking in the surgery and basking in the glory.


    With this thought, he left for his office.


    As for the Minister, he was getting ready for the surgery. And so he underwent some tests to ensure that he was in good health with no active illness.


    He completed a medical history and physical. He had blood work done, and lastly, he got x-rays done.


    That same evening, the Chief instructed Chen Lihua to brief the Minister on what to expect during the surgery after undergoing the crucial tests.


    Chen Lihua accepted the task and did it professionally. She didn''t waste time at all.


    She summarized the whole surgery process to the Minister. The way she spoke to him was the same way she spoke to any of her other patients.


    She treated them the same; nobody was above the other. They were all patients to her, as long as they were admitted to the hospital.


    The Minister admired how competent she was. She left when she was done talking to him, and after asking him if he had any questions to ask, and if he needed more explanations.


    As for the deputy chief, he kept following the Chief around as if he was his personal assistant.


    Those who didn''t know would think they were inseparable or had a task to carry out together.


    The Chief ignored him at first. But when he couldn''t take it any longer, he stopped in his tracks and asked.


    "Deputy Chief, are you mentally and physically ready for tomorrow''s surgery?"


    The deputy chief gave him a perfect smile and left a positive reply.


    Since the deputy chief didn''t get the cue to leave, the Chief decided to send him away directly, despite knowing his reason for following him around.


    The Chief assigned a task to him, and only then did the deputy chief reluctantly leave his side.


    In her office, Chen Lihua replied all of Liu Longwei''s texts to her before going to sleep.


    She had a long day ahead of her tomorrow, so she needed to rest early.


    As for the deputy chief, he didn''t sleep until he got an idea of how to prevent Chen Lihua from partaking in the surgery.


    He smiled victoriously to himself before going to sleep.


    He even had a dream of when the Chief surgeon, the Minister, and the rest of his colleagues praised him after the surgery was completed.


    He smiled happily and looked to the side to see Chen Lihua angry. And before he could know what was happening, the angry Chen Lihua threw bloody water to his face.


    He immediately woke up in fear, only to actually see Chen Lihua staring at him curiously.


    He screamed and jumped up in fright.


    His scream caused Chen Lihua to jerk back unconsciously.


    "Deputy Chief, are you alright? You seem to have had a nightmare," Chen Lihua said to him as she stared at him with a facade of a smile.

 Chapter 314 - Sabotage.

    "Deputy Chief, are you alright? You seem to have had a nightmare," Chen Lihua said to him as she stared at him with a facade of a smile.


    Why would he be screaming like a frightened cat so early in the morning?


    He must have been chased in the dream because of his evil deeds by the people he offended.


    "Yes, I had a nightmare... You- you are the nightmare," the deputy chief replied, but said the second half of his sentence to himself.


    "I see....," Chen Lihua trailed off.


    "What are you doing in my office by this time?" the deputy chief asked with a frown etched on his face.


    Chen Lihua rarely came to his office, so he was surprised to see her, and then annoyed because she was his enemy.


    "The Chief is asking if you are still interested in performing the surgery today, seeing that you are still sleeping by now," Chen Lihua conveyed the Chief''s message.


    The deputy chief said as he jumped to his feet, "Of course I''m interested. I will not let anyone take my place."


    After saying his piece, he left his office.


    Chen Lihua glanced at his departing figure in confusion.


    "Who wants to take his place ...me?" Chen Lihua asked herself as she made her way to the door of his office.


    ''What a tacky taste,'' Chen Lihua said as she clicked her tongue after taking two seconds to look at his office. Then, she walked out of the room to join the other surgeons.


    ".....so the heart is a perfect match," one of the doctors said to the Chief Surgeon.


    That was the piece Chen Lihua managed to hear when she approached them.


    The surgeon was talking about the heart to be used for the heart transplant.


    The donor team will inspect the heart to ensure it''s suitable for a transplant and match the patient.


    Everyone, there was paying attention, except the deputy chief who had his eyes glued to Chen Lihua.


    He already had a not too harmful plan hatched in his mind, to stop her from participating in the surgery.


    The Chief dismissed them and asked them to get dressed for the long-awaited surgery.


    As they were scrambling out from the Chief''s office, Chen Lihua removed the glasses she hanged on her shirt and was about putting it on when she was pushed by one of her colleagues, so the glasses fell to the floor.


    Her colleague, who was responsible for that act, apologized guiltily before walking away.


    Chen Lihua sighed and bent down to pick the glasses, but it was then kicked to the back.


    Chen Lihua became a little angry and turned towards the direction her glasses was kicked too. And just as she stretched her hand, and she was about making contact with it, someone stepped on them.


    The next thing Chen Lihua heard was a crushing sound as a foot stepped on it.


    "Oh my! What did I step on?" the deputy chief asked with exaggerated actions.


    Chen Lihua recognized the voice, but she was still staring at her crushed glasses.


    She didn''t know how to feel, but her heart was pained, and there was anger in her heart as well.


    As her heart was beating furiously, she slowly looked up at the annoying voice she heard and then stood up.


    "Dr. Chen, what happened?" the Chief asked curiously as he walked towards them when he noticed how Chen Lihua was glaring at his Deputy.


    Chen Lihua ignored the Chief as she opened her mouth to ask the Deputy.


    "Deputy Chief, what did you just do?" she asked in a low and cold voice.


    "Sorry I didn''t see it. I was in a hurry to get into the OR. You know, I don''t want to be late for the surgery," the deputy chief replied with a smug look on his face, before changing his expression to that of feeling sorry and guilty.


    After saying his part, he tried to walk away but was held back by someone''s hand.


    Seeing that he was trying to walk away after crushing her second eyes (glasses), Chen Lihua held his arm firmly, as she could barely hold her anger in.


    "Where do you think you are going to, deputy chief?" Chen Lihua asked as a cold expression formed on her face.


    Meanwhile, the other surgeons that still remained in the same space as they, stood in a corner to watch the drama that was about unfolding.


    Each of them watched with keen interest and was trying to see the deputy chief''s facial expression and actions at the end of the drama.


    So, they watched from one corner of the room while trying to make themselves invisible.


    The Chief figured out the reason for Chen Lihua''s sudden anger.


    He was annoyed while looking at his Deputy''s facial expression. He knew that he disliked Chen Lihua right from day one, so he was sure he crushed her glasses on purpose.


    And who didn''t know that the glasses were like Chen Lihua''s second eyes, and she couldn''t work in the OR without them?


    So, the Chief was sure the deputy chief crushed her glasses on purpose to stop her from performing the surgery as his assistant, thereby taking her place.


    So he could, in any case, feel Chen Lihua''s pain at the moment.


    "Of course, to the OR," the deputy chief answered shamelessly while staring at Chen Lihua with a smile.


    Then he looked down at the hand that was still holding unto him and tried to shrug it off, but Chen Lihua refused to bulge, and still held unto it tightly.


    "Dr. Chen let go," the deputy chief said to her, a bit annoyed at the stubborn young lady.


    "Not until you go back to time to when you were thinking of crushing my glasses to remove those evil thoughts, or you get me another pair right this minute, or you do not partake in today''s surgery as a punishment for what you... did," Chen Lihua said in a serious tone, as she meant each and every one of her words.


    "What?! Are you out of your mind?" the deputy chief asked while staring daggers at Chen Lihua.


    ''Not to partake in the surgery? Humph! What a joke!''

 Chapter 315 - Malicious intent.

    "What?! Are you out of your mind?" the deputy chief asked while staring daggers at Chen Lihua.


    ''Not to partake in the surgery? Humph! What a joke!''


    "You are right! I am out of my mind," Chen Lihua said as she still held onto his arm.


    Seeing that she was not letting go, the deputy chief became angry but tried to defend himself.


    "It''s not like I crushed your glasses on purpose. And it even fell to the floor because of your carelessness. I didn''t snatch it from you, did I? But I already apologized to you, what more do you want from me?"


    "Your actions were done on purpose, and your apology was not even sincere," Chen Lihua said to him before turning to say to the Chief, who was thinking of a way to settle the issue.


    "Chief, you have to hurry up and commence with the surgery after finding replacements. The deputy chief and I will not be available."


    "Dr. Chen, you have to let go of me this minute. Are you out of your mind?!" the deputy Chief roared in anger, no longer finding the situation he was in any funny.


    "Dr. Chen, let him go first. You two can talk amicably without violence," the Chief said, trying to meditate.


    At his words, and because of the respect she had for him, she let go of the deputy chief, but stood in his way.


    "Chief, since the deputy chief and I will not partake in this surgery, then I think you should hurry up and go. And please, I need the CCTV footage of the meeting that took place here. I want to confirm if the deputy chief stepped on my glasses on purpose. If he didn''t do that on purpose, then I will apologize and bear the consequences. But if he did, I will take action against him. How do you see that?"


    "That''s okay," the Chief agreed with what she said.


    "Nonsense! How will you take responsibility? I have to be in the OR this minute!" the deputy chief barked, as green veins were seen popped up on his temples.


    "You don''t have a say or a choice," Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Chief, do you agree with her?" the deputy chief asked in disbelief.


    ''How can the Chief listen to whatever this girl says?'' he thought to himself.


    "Yes. Am sorry, but you cannot perform the surgery now. But note that disciplinary measures and actions will be taken against you if found guilty," the Chief reminded before walking out.


    "Dr. Chen, you will be able to view the CCTV footage in five minutes," the Chief''s voice trailed off.


    Chen Lihua was happy for having her way, but she couldn''t bring herself to smile.


    She has been preparing for this surgery for weeks now, so how can she be happy with not being able to partake in the surgery she has been looking up to?


    And as for the deputy chief, she swore to deal with him.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the deputy chief before saying to him.


    "You think you can stop me and take my place after that? That can only happen in your dreams!"


    Chen Lihua said her piece and stalked off, going back to her office.


    "Even in my dreams, you didn''t let me go," the deputy chief muttered to himself bitterly as he remembered his dream.


    He regretted the actions he took today. He thought he had succeeded in pushing Chen Lihua away, and then would be able to take her place after that. But who knew that Chen Lihua was such a fierce woman and wouldn''t let him go no matter what.


    She even dragged him down with her.


    He took a foolish step.


    At least now he had learned his lessons.


    Next time, He wouldn''t take action against her herself. He would instead borrow someone''s hands or pay someone off to get the job done.


    The deputy chief sighed before going back to his off while giving off a moody and angry vibe.


    As for the other surgeons watching the drama unfold, they immediately left with the Chief for the surgery.


    Getting back to his office, the deputy chief swore to make Chen Lihua''s life miserable.


    After all, he was her superior, so he had the power and authority to make certain decisions that would be to her disadvantage.


    He calmed down a lot with these thoughts and started to plan on his next course of action.


    He was indeed guilty of what happened.


    Though he didn''t orchestrate what happened in the office. He only thought to take the opportunity and stop Chen Lihua from performing the surgery when he saw one. But then, it got him into trouble.


    His initial plan was to cause an accident in the OR, something like slitting Chen Lihua''s hand with the knife.


    That injury would have been enough to send her out of the OR, midway.


    So, he thought things through and carefully. But who knew that his plans would be shattered by himself, and as if that wasn''t enough, he landed himself in big trouble.


    If he knew Chen Lihua would be this fierce, he wouldn''t have taken actions personally, since he wasn''t on good terms with Chen Lihua, and the latter would never trust him.


    Now his actions today would cause Chen Lihua to be wary of him.


    He decided to stop crying over spilled milk and find possible solutions to how Chen Lihua was going to deal with him.


    As for Chen Lihua, her heart was so embittered and restless.


    She never pictured that something like this would happen to her. At this point, she felt like crying to Liu Longwei and complaining to him of how she was being bullied at the hospital.


    She was sure that her husband would surely deal with the deputy chief, and it may cost him his position as the deputy chief.


    But she didn''t want to involve Liu Longwei, because it would look like Liu Longwei was her backbone, and she couldn''t get things done without him.


    The last thing she wants to happen to her in this hospital is to be looked down upon by them.


    She didn''t want to appear like a woman who wasn''t capable and always relied on her husband.


    Well, she was capable on her own, so why would she stress her husband if she could handle certain matters herself?

 Chapter 316 - Finally performed the surgery.

    She didn''t want to appear like a woman who wasn''t capable and always relied on her husband.


    Well, she was capable on her own, so why would she stress her husband if she could handle certain matters herself?


    While feeling unhappy, Chen Lihua suddenly remembered something, her glasses.


    A few days ago, Liu Longwei had asked her to get new ones in case the only one she had got damaged.


    Thinking of it now, her glasses should have been ready by now.


    Just then, Chen Lihua heard a knock from her door, and she gave the person permission to come in.


    It was a nurse. She came in with some items in a tray.


    She greeted Chen Lihua respectfully before putting the tray on her desk.


    As Chen Lihua stared at the items on the tray in brilliant surprise, she wasn''t able to catch everything the nurse said to her. But the little she heard brought joy, and it caused her heart to be full with gladness.


    "Dr. Chen, your glasses are ready. So Dr ....asked me to bring them to you.... He wants to know if they are to your taste," the nurse said politely as she watched the astounding look on her face.


    Chen Lihua quickly picked one of the eyeglass casings and opened them. She examined the classy looking glasses laying in there before putting it over her eyes.


    "I love them already. I will come personally to thank him," Chen Lihua said to the nurse, and the nurse understood that she would come personally to express her gratitude to the doctor that made her glasses because she liked them.


    But what the nurse didn''t understand was why Chen Lihua was so happy.


    ''Maybe she is satisfied with the designs,'' the nurse concluded.


    But if only the nurse knew Chen Lihua''s reasons....


    As the nurse left, Chen Lihua got up from her seat immediately, as she made a dash for the door with the new glasses in her hands.


    She didn''t forget to lock her office door before running towards the direction of the OR.


    ''I love you so much, Longwei, thank you,'' Chen Lihua said gratefully in her heart.


    Just when the Chief was about to make an incision with the scalpel, Chen Lihua burst into the room, already dressed and prepared for the surgery with the new medicated glasses over her eyes.


    "Chief, I am here, let me take over," Chen Lihua said in a hurried voice.


    The Chief was surprised to see her because he wasn''t expecting her. He already felt sorry for her because he thought she would be sad and angry for not being able to partake in today''s surgery. So he had been thinking of a plan to make it up to her. But here she was.


    The Chief could only give up his spot for her without a lot of question marks on his forehead as he handed the scalpel over to her.


    "Chief, I will explain everything later to you. For now, let the surgery begin," Chen Lihua assured the Chief with the first half of her sentence while in the second half, she was referring to everyone in the room.


    Chen Lihua gave an instruction on the kind of song she wanted throughout the surgery.


    She optioned for Opera. Right now, she needed something that would put her mind at ease and also soothe her soul.


    The Chief gave Chen Lihua full permission to perform the surgery.


    She was supposed to assist him, but now, it was the other way round. So the Chief took her initial place and assisted her while passing a few instructions and guidelines from time to time.


    Before the minister was wheeled to the OR, the anaesthesiologist spoke to him and reminded him of what to expect during the surgery.


    After that, the anesthesiologist began his work. He put the patient (the minister) to sleep with general anesthesia, so he could sleep throughout the heart transplant process.


    Before being anesthetized, the minister spoke to the Chief to consent for the heart transplant to occur.


    That is, he signed some papers to give approval for the surgery.


    After being anesthetized, the patient was connected to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the oxygen-rich blood flowing through his body.


    The next step was to make an incision on his chest, which Chen Lihua just did.


    After making an incision, Chen Lihua separated his chest bone before going further to open his rib cage so that the heart could be operated on.


    After working for quite some time with the other surgeons, Chen Lihua finally removed the diseased heart and inserted the donor''s heart into place.


    The next step was to attach the major blood vessels to the donor''s heart.


    This wasn''t as simple as it sounds like.


    The new heart starts beating when blood flow is restored. Sometimes, an electric shock is needed to make the donor''s heartbeat properly.


    And in this particular surgery, the Chief used a defibrillator to give the patient an electric shock before the blood flow was restored.


    The surgery was considered a success on their part because blood flow was restored, and the new heart began to beat.


    Also, the heart rhythm on the heart monitor was normal, so it was time to stitch up the chest.


    The Chief knew that Chen Lihua would be exhausted by now, so he optioned to stitch the patient up, but Chen Lihua rejected his help and insisted on doing it their own.


    The Chief could only smile helplessly as he watched her have her way.


    He has noticed that Chen Lihua liked to complete any surgery she was in charge of on her own. It was as if she was afraid that something would go wrong.


    He didn''t know her reason, but he liked that she was being careful and dedicated to her work.


    So, the Chief stayed back and helped her out.


    Now that the surgery was completed and successful, Chen Lihua could finally sigh in relief and smile.


    She was happy that she got to perform today''s surgery, despite what happened earlier.


    This surgery took around 5 - 7 hours.


    If the patient''s case was complicated, that is, if he had VAD, which the surgeons would have to remove, it would take 6 - 8 hours.


    And the patient may be in the OR longer than the actual process because the transplant team would have to work with the donor team.

 Chapter 317 - An advice from the Chief.

    If the patient''s case was complicated, that is, if he had VAD, which the surgeons would have to remove, it would take 6 - 8 hours.


    And the patient may be in the OR longer than the actual process because the transplant team would have to work with the donor team.


    Coming out from the OR, she watched them wheel the Minister to the ICU, where he would stay for a few days and later would be sent to a regular hospital room.


    "Dr. Chen, I am proud of you. You can take a rest for a few days," the Chief said as he came to stand side by side with Chen Lihua, with a proud smile on his face.


    "Thank you, Chief, but I don''t need so many days off, I am fine," Chen Lihua said, rejecting his offer politely.


    The Chief shook his head while staring at her in a smile.


    "You are newly married and have to spend more time with your spouse. It''s not good to be so busy that you forget to keep each other company at this stage of your life. Go home and spend more time with your husband. If you are worried about the patients, I will notify you if anything is up, trust me. I don''t want you to make the same mistake I made when I was your age. I got married to someone I love, but I didn''t have the time to accompany her. And each time she complained, I would say I will make it up to her, which I never did. But sadly, she passed away five years after we got married, leaving two children behind, and coincidentally, that was the time I took leave in other to travel out and spend time with her and the children. So you see, to this day, I still live with regret. The thing about this life is that there is no special time for anything. If you know the right thing, do it, so that you will not regret why you didn''t do it when you had the opportunity. It''s not easy to live on this earth and watch your loved ones pass on without you having anything to regret. So while they are still alive, spend quality time with them and make them happy, life is too short, and you can never tell when something will go wrong. It''s good to take care of the patients, but how can you take proper care of them when you can''t take care of your family? It is not justifiable."


    Chief patted Chen Lihua''s shoulder twice and left after giving her words of advice.


    It was left for Chen Lihua to listen to him or not. He cannot force her to listen to him when she didn''t want to. He could only give the best advice from reality and the lessons he learned from life so far.


    At least, that is what he can do for her since he took her as a daughter.


    No father would want to see his daughter take the wrong step in life when he could stop and prevent her on time.


    After the Chief walked away, Chen Lihua stood still and sank in deep thought.


    Every word the Chief said to her, she heard them, and it sank deep into her heart.


    Liu Longwei had never complained about her giving more priorities to her work instead of him. He always tried to accommodate her, support her, and advise her.


    Now thinking about it, she felt she was and has been self-centered all these while. She had never thought about Liu Longwei''s opinion when she took some certain decisions about her work or life.


    In fact, she lived as if she was still single, forgetting that she was now married and now beside a man.


    The least she could do was to ask for his opinion in some certain areas of her life that concerned them, or that involved the two of them, and not tell him her decision when they could actually discuss it together.


    Thinking about all of this, Chen Lihua felt that she wasn''t a good wife to Liu Longwei.


    She suddenly started feeling bad when she remembered all the good things he has been doing for her.


    Without his advice, she wouldn''t have been able to perform today''s surgery.


    Yes, he advised her to get extra sets of glasses since it was risky having only one when she knew she couldn''t work in certain conditions without it.


    Chen Lihua became emotional and decided to take heed to her Chief''s advice. She decided to take Liu Longwei''s opinion into consideration whenever she would want to make a decision.


    For now, she had to think of ways to make it up to him, but first, she had to go and say her thanks at the ophthalmic/ optometry department for getting her glasses right on time.


    On her way, she was being greeted respectfully by her juniors. And when she greeted her seniors, they would respond to her happily.


    While she was smiling and walking ahead, she met the deputy chief as he stared at her in shock.


    ''Why is she dressed that way, and where did she get those glasses from?''


    The deputy chief asked no one in particular with a shock stricken expression.


    As Chen Lihua walked passed him, she had a smirk on her face. And when she passed, the deputy Chief stood in place while staring at her departing back.


    With a restless heart, he quickly made his way back to their department to make inquiries.


    There, he found out that Chen Lihua took part in the surgery. And not only that, instead of assisting the Chief, she became the lead surgeon during the surgery, and the surgery was successful.


    The deputy chief couldn''t describe what he was feeling right now. But what he knew is that he wanted to smash things in other to calm down.


    He entered his office and swept everything on his desk away.


    As if that one wasn''t enough for him, he went ahead to look for something to smash.


    Not seeing anything that could bear the impact of what he wanted, he decided to vent his anger and frustration on the office telephone.

 Chapter 318 - Planning a surprise for her husband.

    He entered his office and swept everything on his desk away.


    As if that one wasn''t enough for him, he went ahead to look for something to smash.


    Not seeing anything that could bear the impact of what he wanted, he decided to vent his anger and frustration on the office telephone.


    He could afford to replace them, so he might as well destroy it to vent his anger.


    After crushing the telephone with his foot, he felt a sense of accomplishment and calmed down.


    Immediately he took a seat, someone knocked on his door and came in without waiting for his response.


    He shouted at the person, and the person immediately went away like a scared chicken.


    But the person was fast enough to get a clear view of the disorganized office. He nearly asked if there was an ongoing war in the office, but he didn''t dare.


    He was even worried that the deputy chief would send an item flying towards his direction if he didn''t leave there on time, due to his rage.


    When Chen Lihua got back to her office, she relaxed and picked up the phone she hasn''t touched since the last 24-hours.


    What she saw caused her eyes to well up with tears, and at the same time, caused a smile to turn up on her lips.


    She saw heart-warming messages from Liu Longwei, and it caused her to feel loved and emotional.


    Right there, she decided to do something for him.


    Since she could take a few days off, it was the perfect timing for it.


    She proceeded to click a file open on her work desktop to watch the CCTV footage.


    She saw the deputy chief''s facial expression change to a happy and excited one when her glasses fell down. She also saw how he immediately rushed over to crush them with his foot, as if he would miss the opportunity to do so if he delayed for even a second.


    Because Chen Lihua had her eyes glued to the floor, so she wasn''t able to look up to see his facial expressions.


    But now, watching it from the CCTV footage, she was able to see that the deputy chief was intentional about damaging her glasses.


    ''What a mean and shameless man!'' Chen Lihua thought to herself.


    She sent the footage to her phone. So now, she had the evidence in her possession, in two different devices.


    Chen Lihua took the pairs of medicated glasses and kept them away in her bag, leaving only a pair in her office drawers.


    After making calls to confirm that someone was around to pick her up, she took her bag and left for the Chief''s office.


    She went to see the Chief for two reasons.


    One, to tell him she was taking a few days off and two, to talk about the deputy Chief''s actions in the morning as well as his punishment.


    Since Chen Lihua heard the Chief talking about disciplinary measures earlier, she decided to leave the punishment for him to carry out.


    After all, he was their Chief, and she trusted that he wouldn''t cheat.


    The Chief was glad that Chen Lihua accorded him enough respect to hand over the case to him.


    So he promised to take action against the deputy chief for his misdeeds.


    After the surgery, he had time to watch the CCTV footage, so he knew that the deputy chief was guilty, and had to be disciplined for him to learn.


    He just wondered what caused jealousy to erupt from his heart about Chen Lihua.


    ''How could an old man like him use underhanded means to deal with a lady old enough to be his daughter?''


    This has been the question on his mind.


    Chen Lihua left his office and went to the underground parking lot. She met the same bodyguards that escorted her to the hospital the day before.


    They greeted her respectfully and helped her into the car.


    Chen Lihua sat comfortably, as her thoughts wandered off to Liu Longwei, then a broad smile appeared on her face.


    She already came up with something in her mind. She just needed the courage to carry out her plans.


    Back home, Chen Lihua freshened up and had something light to eat.


    Then she picked up a few items before leaving the house.


    Now, she has successfully gotten rid of the hospital scent. She was now wearing her new perfume, which had a sweet fragrance.


    Chen Lihua fell in love with the fragrance immediately.


    She left the house for Liu Longwei''s office. The driver packed in the underground parking lot, as one of the bodyguards came down with a fancy bag in hand, and he made his way into the building.


    The bodyguard went straight to the top floor, and Assistant Duyi was shocked to see him.


    Assistant Duyi smiled when he found out that the Mistress had something to deliver to the boss.


    So he followed the bodyguard to Liu Longwei''s office.


    He knocked, and a cold voice said from the room, "Come in."


    Inside the office, Liu Longwei glanced at Assistant Duyi before moving his gaze to the bodyguard, waiting for one of them to speak.


    The bodyguard got the signal, so he immediately reported Chen Lihua''s instructions to him, as he passed the bag over to him.


    Liu Longwei''s cold face immediately broke into a smile after learning that his wife was waiting for him.


    This is someone that had been moody since yesterday because his wife didn''t return his texts or calls.


    He was actually worried that something happened to her in the hospital, so he asked the guards to find out, but she was alright.


    So he became a little unhappy and grumpy at work because he felt that Chen Lihua was now ignoring him and put more importance on her job than him.


    And because of that, he has been very strict with his employees.


    Since he was lonely as their boss, then as his employees, they had to accompany him and work into the night today, just like the previous day.


    So Chen Lihua appearing today was a saving grace for them.

 Chapter 319 - I will make it up to you.

    And because of that, he has been very strict with his employees.


    Since he was lonely as their boss, then as his employees, they had to accompany him and work into the night today, just like the previous day.


    So Chen Lihua appearing today was a saving grace for them.


    Liu Longwei quickly washed up before changing into the clothes and walked out of his office after leaving instructions for Assistant Duyi.


    "They can get off work in thirty minutes."


    As for who the boss was referring to, Assistant Duyi got the message clearly.


    "Thank you, Boss!" Assistant Duyi nodded in excitement as he watched his Boss stroll out.


    When Liu Longwei got to the underground parking lot, one of the bodyguards that came with Chen Lihua, respectfully bowed to him, before showing him the way.


    As he got close to a tinted car, he recognized, the front passenger window wind down, and he saw his beautiful wife sitting in the driver''s seat.


    Her red lips parted in a smile as two words were uttered, "Get in."


    A smile crept up on Liu Longwei''s face as he got into the car.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t resist his beautiful wife as he took his time to look at her after kissing her cheeks.


    Chen Lihua looked alluring today, in smoky eyes, red lipstick, and a deep V-neck short tight black gown.


    "Sweetheart, you look beautiful," Liu Longwei praised in a smile, as he continued to stare at her dress.


    "Thank you, Darling. You look awesome," Chen Lihua praised as she kissed his cheeks.


    "Thank you," Liu Longwei replied as he gave his charming smile.


    "Fasten your seatbelt," Chen Lihua ordered as she ignited the car.


    "How are you, and how was the surgery?" Liu Longwei inquired.


    "Your wife is fine, and the surgery was successful........" Chen Lihua said and went ahead to tell him more about her days in the hospital.


    "The Deputy Chief of the cardiothoracic department tried to stop you from performing the surgery by breaking your glasses?" Liu Longwei asked, not sounding happy that someone bullied the wife he had been carrying around like an egg.


    "Yeah, but the matter is settled now. Our Chief will have him go through the disciplinary measures," Chen Lihua explained with her gaze focused on the road.


    "Next time, if someone tries to bully you, tell me immediately so that I will deal with them," Liu Longwei said.


    "Yes, Sir!" Chen Lihua said, not taking his words too seriously.


    The last thing she wanted was for him to get involved in her work when she could settle it.


    So she just agreed with him for the time being.


    "So, tell me about your work these past few days," Chen Lihua asked while giving him a naughty smile.


    "Nothing spectacular happened. There is this new project I''m going through. Once I am done, I will fly to New Zealand to sign the contract," Liu Longwei notified.


    "Wow! That''s wonderful. How long will you stay over there?" Chen Lihua asked while glancing at him.


    "Four or five days. Do you want to come with me?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "No, but thanks for asking. I have my own work," Chen Lihua answered as she moved her gaze back to the road.


    "So, where is my pretty wife taking me to?" Liu Longwei asked curiously.


    "You will see in a bit," Chen Lihua replied with a mysterious smile plastered on her face.


    "I will see?" Liu Longwei asked as a mischievous glint shined in his eyes.


    "Mmmmmm!" Chen Lihua replied absentmindedly with her gaze on the road, totally unaware of the wolf that had his gaze on her.


    Liu Longwei slowly moved his left hand up Chen Lihua''s thigh with a mischievous smile as he slowly caressed the visible skin.


    "Jeez! Darling, what are you doing? Get your hands off me this minute!" Chen Lihua said.


    She was shocked when she felt a hand caressing her thigh while she was driving. She didn''t expect Liu Longwei to do that.


    "I have never seen you dress so little for me, apart from once or twice, but there were others there. This is the first time you are dressing this way, just for me. So sweetheart, allow me to fill my eyes with your looks, and feel your soft skin underneath my touch," Liu Longwei said shamelessly, as he continued to caress her thighs, but not daring to go further.


    He didn''t want to die now; he still wants to have beautiful children with his wife and live with them till old age.


    "Longwei! Stop it, I''m driving. You don''t want us to get into an accident, do you?" Chen Lihua asked as she moved her gaze from the road to him, sending him a glare in the process.


    "Didn''t you dress this way to seduce me? I am helping you out here. Or do you want me to see and not touch?" Liu Longwei asked as his hands continued to wander off shamelessly.


    Screeeec.........


    The car skidded to a halt as Chen Lihua slammed the breaks immediately while breathing hard, as she had her eyes closed.


    "Honey, are you okay?" Liu Longwei asked, while gently tapping her laps.


    "Darling, I told you I was driving. You know I can''t tolerate it when you touch me. So right now, for peace to reign, and for me to be assured, pick one option out from these two," Chen Lihua said, looking at him with misty eyes, as she continued.


    "Keep your hands to yourself or go sit at the back."


    Within two minutes, their car hit off the road once again, with Liu Longwei still sitting on his previous position.


    It was obvious that he agreed to keep his hands to himself.


    "Sweetheart, I didn''t know you would be so easily aroused, I am sorry," Liu Longwei apologized, but who knew if he really meant it.


    "I didn''t know I would feel that way too. It seemed like my whole body was on fire and needed more," Chen Lihua explained in confusion.


    She was shocked too. Naturally, she would have laughed and asked Liu Longwei to stop. But she didn''t know what was wrong with her today. She actually thought of wanting more, so she reacted strongly so Liu Longwei would stop with his actions.


    ''Am I that horny?'' Chen Lihua asked herself in disbelief.


    "It looks like I am not taking care of you well in that aspect. Don''t worry, I will make it up to you," Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.

 Chapter 320 - No, I want it now!.

    ''Am I that horny?'' Chen Lihua asked herself in disbelief.


    "It looks like I am not taking care of you well in that aspect. Don''t worry, I will make it up to you," Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.


    Chen Lihua gave him a side-eye before concentrating on the road.


    ''Did I ask you to make it up to me?'' Chen Lihua said to herself.


    Quickly, they arrived at a restaurant, the same restaurant they had their first date.


    The difference now is that it was late in the evening, and no customer could be seen insight.


    The entire restaurant was decorated with flowers, and then mild lightning which was suitable enough for Chen Lihua''s eyes.


    "You booked the whole restaurant?" Liu Longwei asked in bewilderment.


    "Yes, for us," Chen Lihua answered with a bright smile as the manager of the restaurant walked to them with a smile and led them inside.


    The manager led them to the only table and chairs that could be seen in the restaurant at the moment. And the round table and two chairs were located at the center of the restaurant.


    "Wow! I must acknowledge your thoughtful efforts and arrangements. This place looks good," Liu Longwei complimented after taking his seat, and that was after he helped Chen Lihua with her seat.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua replied happily.


    While Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei engaged in a little conversation, the manager led the two chefs and waiters to serve their food and wine.


    The Chefs introduced the dishes and the bottle of wine to them.


    When Chen Lihua was booking the restaurant, she already ordered the food and wine they would have before this evening.


    Seeing the different colorful foreign dishes he was familiar with, Liu Longwei smiled and picked up his cutlery from the table.


    He recognized most of the dishes and smiled because his favorites were amongst the rest.


    "To my Darling husband who loves me and puts me in front of everything," Chen Lihua said as she toasted the wine with Liu Longwei.


    "Cheers!" Liu Longwei responded, grinning from ear to ear. Next, he downed the whole content of his glass.


    As they helped themselves with the food, they made small talks and laughed over drinking.


    After eating to their satisfaction, the waiters came over. They removed the dishes, leaving the bottle of wine and their wine glasses.


    So over red wine, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei talked about some things, like their work and future.


    They also made jokes and laughed over it.


    When it was time to go, Liu Longwei picked up his phone, pressed a few buttons, and put it over his ear.


    Chen Lihua asked while looking at him, "Calling someone?"


    "Yeah. Calling them to come to pick us up," Liu Longwei replied.


    "No need, I will drive," Chen Lihua said.


    Liu Longwei terminated the call before it could start ringing. Then he said while looking at her.


    "I don''t think it''s a good idea to drive. We both drank red wine. And don''t you think it would be more relaxing if someone drove us?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "There is no problem with that. I want to drive, and that''s why I took only a glass of wine. And besides, the wine only had 15% alcoholic content," Chen Lihua said self-righteously.


    Liu Longwei glanced at her before throwing a question at her, "Are you sure you can drive?"


    "I am not drunk. I am perfectly fit to drive," Chen Lihua confirmed as a beautiful smile appeared on other faces.


    Liu Longwei agreed and walked out of the restaurant with her, as the manager and waiters sent them off.


    In the car, Chen Lihua put on the AC at the highest level because she felt a little hot. Next, she put on relaxing music before driving off.


    As she drove, Chen Lihua felt a little bit uncomfortable.


    ''Maybe it''s the wine,'' she concluded and continued driving.


    Liu Longwei noticed her discomfort and so asked in a concerned tone.


    "Sweetheart, are you okay? Do you want me to call the driver?"


    "No, I am fine," Chen Lihua answered as she managed to smile at him.


    After driving some distance and not being able to take it anymore, Chen Lihua parked the car in a very good place and position.


    In a good place, meaning that cars were allowed to park there, and the police would not disturb them.


    Chen Lihua parked the car and removed her seatbelt.


    "What''s wrong....?" Liu Longwei managed to say before his mouth was invaded forcefully.


    It took him a few seconds to react.


    He held Chen Lihua on the side of her neck with his two hands as he kissed her back.


    Letting go of the other hand, he managed to unclasp his seatbelt.


    "Sweetheart!" Liu Longwei called out as he chuckled softly with both palms on Chen Lihua''s cheeks, as their foreheads touched.


    Chen Lihua breathed heavily without replying.


    And when she was done catching her breath, she kissed Liu Longwei slowly on the lips before she reached out to fiddle with the belt on his waist.


    Liu Longwei''s eyes widened in surprise as he failed to stop the hands that were groping him.


    When Chen Lihua touched his belt, he immediately knew what she wanted. But the location wasn''t appropriate.


    Coming back his sense, Liu Longwei immediately held unto the hands that were trying to undo his belt with his big hands.


    "Sweetheart, wait till we get home, okay?" he said, trying to placate her.


    "No, I want it now!" Chen Lihua said in a soft drunken voice.


    Chen Lihua was shocked beyond measures when she heard her voice.


    ''Am I that horny?'' she asked herself.


    Liu Longwei was shocked when he heard her voice. He could very well tell from that voice that she was intensely aroused.


    But what would make her aroused to this extent that she didn''t want to wait till they got home before he would satisfy her?.

 Chapter 321 - Do you not want it again?.

    ''Am I that horny?'' she asked herself.


    Liu Longwei was shocked when he heard her voice. He could very well tell from that voice that she was intensely aroused.


    But what would make her aroused to this extent that she didn''t want to wait till they got home before he would satisfy her?


    He wanted to ask if she was drugged, but that wasn''t possible because he ate the same thing as her tonight.


    Then he remembered that she acted weird on their way to the restaurant, so he became curious and decided to ask her some questions while still holding onto her hands.


    Chen Lihua was a bit angry for not getting what she wanted, but she still answered Liu Longwei''s questions.


    She went ahead to describe the event that followed after she came home from work, and that''s before she came to his workplace.


    There was no need to go further with the explanations and questions because they had already talked about their work and how they spent the hours without seeing each other while dining.


    No one in their house would dare to drug her, so where could the problem be coming from?


    Coming out from his thoughts, he tried to placate the woman who was whining with her seductive eyes and still trying to grope him.


    "Sweetheart, wait till we get home. I promise to leave after you''ve had your feel. We are in the middle of nowhere."


    "No, I want it now!" Chen Lihua said stubbornly in a soft demanding voice.


    Fine! His wife wanted to have car s*x in the middle of nowhere. He promised that he would satisfy her greatly.


    He let go of her hands and even helped her unclasp his belt before pulling his trouser below his belt.


    Now, his black brief could be seen, and if a careful glance was given to it, a bulge could be seen, gently sitting there.


    But who knows if it would remain sitting gently when it was unveiled.


    Chen Lihua smiled satisfactorily that Liu Longwei had given in to her at last.


    So she quickly climbed onto him to sit on his laps, with her facing him and her legs straddling him to the seat.


    A soft chuckle escaped from Liu Longwei''s lips when he saw the satisfied smile on his wife''s face at finally getting what she wanted.


    So, he went ahead to lower the seat so that they would be comfortable while carrying out the ordeal.


    Liu Longwei hugged her waist while Chen Lihua circled her arms around his neck as they were both lost in a deep sensual French kiss.


    After kissing for a while, they went ahead to caress each other.


    Liu Longwei pulled Chen Lihua''s dress below her chest, revealing that soft perked b.r.e.a.s.t, wrapped seductively in a net black bra. He grabbed one of them and gently squeezed it, making Chen Lihua let out a soft m.o.a.n, and unknowingly she moved her lower body, thereby coming in contact with Liu Longwei''s bulge.


    Liu Longwei groaned softly as he shut his eyes.


    ''F**k!'' he muttered under his breath.


    As for Chen Lihua, she wasn''t any better. She had her eyes closed as she hugged Liu Longwei.


    She was only wearing thin pants underneath her dress, so she could feel him directly in between her legs.


    And when she felt him, she felt the pain of pleasure as she let out a m.o.a.n. She needed him immediately.


    Having rested for a while, she went ahead to unzip the long-sleeved sweater Liu Longwei had on.


    She caressed his hard chest and upper body before proceeding to get the whole thing off him.


    Liu Longwei pulled her net bra below, thereby releasing her b.o.o.b.s from the bondage they were in.


    He squeezed one and put the other in his mouth, sucking it hard.


    Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned and moved on to him again, causing her to m.o.a.n for the third time.


    Liu Longwei bit hard on her n*pple, causing Chen Lihua to frown while staring at him with a grudging look.


    "You are good at testing my patience," Liu Longwei said in a low husky voice while staring directly into her eyes.


    "I will give you what you asked for," he continued in a low dangerous voice after kissing her lips.


    He adjusted Chen Lihua''s position on him before letting loose of his hard little brother.


    Now, it was standing at attention.


    Chen Lihua stared on with a look of respect for Liu Longwei.


    He indeed had it in a big size.


    "What are you looking at? Are you shocked because of the size? You were asking to have him, now I listened to your request and released him. Don''t you want it again?" Liu Longwei teased with a naughty smile etched on his face while staring at his wife''s facial expression.


    Chen Lihua swallowed hard as she glanced at the huge thing that was waving at her. Then, she glanced at Liu Longwei to see him looking at her with that smirk and a look of challenge.


    She closed her eyes and opened them again within two seconds, after sighing.


    It seemed like she has decided to take on the challenge.


    Chen Lihua adjusted her position, and when Liu Longwei was about asking about her panties and if she was still going to leave it on, she raised her short dress and opened her legs, so he could get a clearer view.


    Liu Longwei was shocked.


    Yes, Chen Lihua was wearing her panties, but it had a hole down there.


    You are right with your thinking because it was lingerie''s set, as it matched her bra.


    Liu Longwei stared at her wide-eyed. The wife he married was a shy one. So, where did this seducing temptress come from?


    This is the second time he was seeing her in lingerie. Who taught her that?


    Chen Lihua changed the music to another one that was befitting for that moment.


    "Enough with the looks. I can''t hold it in any longer," she said in a low voice as she grabbed him and guided him inside her.


    Both let out a m.o.a.n at the same time as they began to move against each other.

 Chapter 322 - Are you ignoring your husband now?.

    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei got home, Liu Longwei was seen coming out from the driver''s side of the car.


    He walked to the front passenger seat, opened the car door, and carried his sleeping wife out.


    They were both dressed appropriately, but their clothes were a little messy.


    Liu Longwei didn''t bother responding to the greetings from their servants. The most important thing to him at the moment was to take his wife to the room and help her with a shower.


    The servants all noticed that their Mistress was sleeping peacefully, so they didn''t dare raise their voices. They just bowed to their Master in greeting.


    Placing Chen Lihua gently on the bed, Liu Longwei smiled while staring at her. Having had enough, he stood up straight and was about walking away when Chen Lihua pulled his hand while staring into his eyes with misty eyes.


    "Where are you going?" she said in a meek voice.


    "I was going to set a bath for you," Liu Longwei lowered his body and answered while peering into her eyes with a smile.


    Chen Lihua stared at him for a while, then Liu Longwei asked, still having a seductive smile on his face.


    "Is something on my face?"


    "No. You are so handsome," Chen Lihua replied and gave him a soft smile before hugging his neck and engaging him in a warm kiss.


    Liu Longwei kissed her back.


    When he saw that she started to pull out his clothing, he knew she wanted more of what they had done in the car earlier.


    So he couldn''t help but say, "What happened? You are so proactive today. Did you miss me that badly?"


    "I have no idea. But what matters now is that I want you," Chen Lihua replied and shut him up with another round of kisses.


    They went at it for two more rounds before Liu Longwei insisted on them having a shower.


    And surprisingly, after the shower, Chen Lihua went to sleep and only woke up the next morning.


    Seeing her sleeping so soundly after two hours now, Liu Longwei sighed in relief.


    It seems like having a bath helped to wear off the effect of the drug.


    He covered their bodies with the duvet and hugged the sleeping beauty to sleep.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua woke up on her own accord with a sore body.


    She looked around the room, and not seeing her husband in sight, she yawned tiredly while stretching her arms.


    She was so worn out that she didn''t want to get up from the bed at all. But her rumbling stomach said otherwise.


    She whispered a ''thank you'' to Liu Longwei wherever he was for cleaning her up last night.


    Remembering the whole ordeal yesterday, Chen Lihua ran her hands through her hair.


    She felt that she had become so shameless. She felt that she was lucky that Liu Longwei hadn''t made fun of her yet; otherwise, she wouldn''t know where to bury her head.


    Chen Lihua went into the bathroom to brush and wash up.


    She stepped into the bedroom with a towel wrapped around her body and a small face towel in her hands.


    As she was cleaning her face, Liu Longwei came into the room gently, thinking that Chen Lihua was still asleep, so his movements were gentle.


    When he locked eyes with the woman standing at a place with a white towel wrapped around her body, he smiled and worked towards her.


    "Good morning~ did you sleep well last night?" Liu Longwei asked after leaving a kiss on her cheek.


    "Good morning. My night was great. Seems like you''ve already worked-out this morning," Chen Lihua commented with a smile while staring at the dashing man in his tracksuit.


    "Yeah. I went for a run. See you..." Liu Longwei trailed off as he entered the bathroom.


    Chen Lihua sighed in relief as he didn''t mention the matter about last night.


    She walked to the bed stand to pick up her phone. She checked it for missed calls and SMS. She didn''t see any missed calls, but she saw a message from the Chief.


    He filled her in on the patient''s present health condition and told her not to worry about anything and keep her husband company.


    He also told her that the Deputy Chief was already going through disciplinary measures. And because he was found guilty, he was banned from performing any surgery in the OR for a week.


    After going through the messages, Chen Lihua sent a reply to the Chief, thanking him for helping her out.


    When she was done replying, she connected her phone to the Bluetooth speaker on the nightstand and entered the walk-in closet after leaving a love song to play.


    Just as she finished wearing her undies, Liu Longwei entered the room with a towel wrapped loosely around his waist.


    If care wasn''t taken, a single tug on the towel could get it falling to the floor. But the man in concern wasn''t bothered with it.


    Liu Longwei glanced at his wife as he looked at her from her head to toe.


    Sensing his gaze on her body, Chen Lihua quickly pulled the gown in her hands on her body, thereby blocking the beautiful view.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly at how fast his woman covered the beautiful view he was filling his eyes with.


    He walked towards her slowly with a smirk on his face.


    Chen Lihua ignored him and went to the chair facing the vanity table.


    She applied a moisturizing cream on her face before patting the content on her face while looking into the mirror.


    Liu Longwei came behind her and kissed her neck while looking at her through the mirror.


    "Are you ignoring your husband now?" he asked while looking at her.


    "No, I''m not. Go and get dressed!" Chen Lihua said as she applied her deodorant on her underarms.


    Liu Longwei didn''t reply to her as he continued to trail kisses down her neck to her chest.


    Chen Lihua gently pushed him away while saying, "Longwei am hungry!"


    Liu Longwei stopped with his actions and looked at her.


    "Ok, I will let you go for now."

 Chapter 323 - Liu Longwei discovers the secret behind her being .....

    Chen Lihua gently pushed him away while saying, "Longwei am hungry!"


    Liu Longwei stopped with his actions and looked at her.


    "Ok, I will let you go for now."


    When he finally let her go, Chen Lihua glanced at her Vanilla perfume bottle that was almost finished and said, "Darling, you''ve almost used up my perfume, so I had to use a new one yesterday''s evening."


    "There is love in sharing," Liu Longwei said while removing his towel and changing into a jean trouser and a polo.


    "Darling, that''s my favorite perfume. I don''t mind sharing it with you, but you have to get a new one for me. This is the new one I used yesterday. It has a nice fragrance, but I''m already used to this one," Chen Lihua said as she picked both perfume bottles and showed it to him.


    "Don''t worry, I will get a new one for you," Liu Longwei said generously while staring at Chen Lihua''s cute face.


    As if suddenly remembering something, Liu Longwei stopped smiling and asked curiously while pointing at the new perfume bottle with a baby pink colored content.


    "Was yesterday the first time you used that perfume?"


    "Yes. I went to my room yesterday and came across it where I kept it away," Chen Lihua answered as she sprayed some of the vanilla-scented perfume at the back of her ears, neck, and wrist.


    "Where did you buy it from?" Liu Longwei asked with a narrowed look.


    "I didn''t buy it. I......," Chen Lihua went ahead to tell him how she got the perfume, as she gently dabbed the perfume on her writs by colliding them.


    "Why are you asking?" Chen Lihua inquired, not thinking too deeply as she continued with her business.


    "Nothing. I will place an order for your perfume this morning, so you can rest assured," Liu Longwei said while combing his hair.


    "Thank you~" Chen Lihua replied and left the walk-in closet after that, leaving Liu Longwei behind.


    A mysterious smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face after Chen Lihua left. He seemed happy to have discovered something.


    Chen Lihua was so aroused yesterday because of the new perfume, and there was no doubt about the details.


    "Sweetheart, it seemed like you''ve been tricked, and I have to thank your friends for that," Liu Longwei whispered to himself with a pleasant smile.


    He glanced at that perfume bottle before hiding it away as a plan came to his head.


    One, he didn''t plan on telling Chen Lihua about the perfume bottle, so he hid it away so she wouldn''t use it on any other occasion since she didn''t know it''s true workings.


    Two, he planned to make Chen Lihua use the perfume when he wanted.


    Like, he would hide away the vanilla-scented perfume, and leave the love perfume on the vanity table when he wanted her to use it, and hide it away when he didn''t want her to use it.


    He could always come up with excuses that he wanted her to wear a particular scent for a special occasion when she finds out that her perfume goes missing and then appears again, and if she asks about it.


    Three, he urgently needed to order another set of Chen Lihua''s favorite perfume before she ran out of the old one.


    He planned to carry out his plans till the day Chen Lihua discovers the trick to her being aroused.


    He knew his wife was smart, but this time around, it would take her a while to discover where her problem was coming from.


    But till then, he would take full advantage of the situation.


    He liked it when his wife wants him, and she takes the initiative.


    Recalling the incidents of last night, Liu Longwei smiled to himself and walked out.


    He met Chen Lihua in the room and quickly hid the smile away.


    "I''ve been waiting for you for a while now. What took you so long?" Chen Lihua inquired as she walked out of the bedroom with him.


    "I was lost in thought about last night, and I can''t seem to get that scene of you being on top out of my head," Liu Longwei teased as he left a kiss on her side cheek.


    "Go away!" Chen Lihua blushed and quickly increased her pace.


    Liu Longwei smiled while easily catching up to her.


    ''If only you knew the reason your husband was thinking about you?'' Liu Longwei thought to himself as he put his arm around her waist.


    Detecting the scent coming from his body, Chen Lihua discovered that he used his perfume, so she asked.


    "You used your perfume?"


    "Yes. I don''t need to use yours since you are by my side, so I won''t be missing you," Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua smiled as they two walked into the elevator.


    What Liu Longwei said was the truth. If he wasn''t going to see his wife for a long time, he would use her perfume so it would feel as if she was with him.


    But since he was with her at the moment, it wasn''t necessary.


    Chen Lihua needed the ''Love Perfume'' or alcohol to become aroused and take the initiative without being shy. But Liu Longwei only needed to stare at her beautiful face and seductive body to become aroused.


    After having Chinese for breakfast, Chen Lihua reminded Liu Longwei about her going to the Liu house to escort the Old Madam Liu to a birthday party.


    "Do you want me to come along?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "No need. I just need your company today," Chen Lihua said.


    "Then you''ve got it," Liu Longwei answered with a smile while spreading his arms.


    "Let''s play some games today, go to the mall to pick a gift, go for a massage, and watch a movie at night. What do you think?" Chen Lihua suggested, listing out the things she would like to do with Liu Longwei.


    "Am fine with anything as long as you are in the picture," Liu Longwei replied in total agreement with her suggestions.

 Chapter 324 - Chen Lihua takes up a challenge.

    Hand in hand, the two went to Mall to get some gifts and then branched into a massage parlor.


    They were attended to by males and females.


    This couple knew what they wanted.


    Chen Lihua felt so light and free after the massage. She made a mental note to come to the massage parlor when she had the chance or even request a home service.


    Liu Longwei wanted to tell her that there was no need to go out to do some things or buy some things because he had money and power to get all those things done.


    But he refrained from saying it on seeing how happy his wife was for stepping out from the house.


    That idea immediately left his head because that suggestion would look like he wanted to lock her up in the house and not let her see the world again.


    Back home, they had lunch before they went into the game room.


    "What kind of game do you want to play? Chess, video games, pool, darts, bowling.....?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua looked around the room before looking back at him.


    "I don''t know how to play games, but we can try anyone."


    Liu Longwei gave her a puzzled look. How could she bring up the suggestion of playing games when she didn''t know how to?


    ''Well, I will teach her.''


    "Let''s try darts first, then bowling, pool, and then Chess," Liu Longwei suggested.


    "Okay," Chen Lihua agreed without a second thought.


    Liu Longwei started with the darts. He picked a few darts and threw them at the dartboard, and they all landed on the bull''s eye.


    "Wow! You are so good at it," Chen Lihua said in amazement.


    "Yeah," Liu Longwei said, smiling at her.


    "It''s your turn; come and give it a try," Liu Longwei said as he took back the darts he threw out earlier.


    "Okay," Chen Lihua replied with a little excitement in her voice as she went to stand in the same position Liu Longwei threw the darts from.


    "You won''t hit anything if you throw the darts from there. You are a novice, so move closer to the target," Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he advised.


    His suggestion made sense, so Chen Lihua listened to him.


    She threw a dart from her new position. The dart hit the double ring, but it was far from the bull''s eye.


    This showed that if she threw the pin from her previous position, she would have made a joke out of herself.


    Liu Longwei clapped for her as an encouragement.


    "Do you want to learn how to shoot?" Liu Longwei threw the question at her.


    Chen Lihua paused her hand in mid-air at the question but then continued throwing the darts.


    "Yeah. I feel it''s cool," Chen Lihua replied.


    ''You feel that learning how to make a gun fire a bullet is cool? Who dares to think the way you do?'' Liu Longwei thought to himself.


    "When you perfect hitting the bulls-eye with the darts, I will teach you," Liu Longwei promised as he set a target for her.


    "I get what you are trying to do. Not bad," Chen Lihua replied as she threw out another dart, and it hit the triple ring.


    "I like the challenge, and I think it''s fair enough, so I will take you up on it," Chen Lihua said to him with a smile.


    "That''s good," Liu Longwei replied with his gaze on her.


    "So why don''t you start by teaching me the rules of the game and showing me some techniques so I can learn faster," Chen Lihua requested as she couldn''t wait to begin her new challenge.


    "Relax. I will take you to a place next weekend. So for now, just have fun," Liu Longwei said, sending a wink across her way.


    Chen Lihua sighed before nodding and continued to throw the darts.


    But in all that she did, she still couldn''t hit the bulls-eye, but that didn''t discourage her at all.


    Instead, she found courage in her failure to do better.


    Even if she still couldn''t hit the normal bull''s-eye, she got an advantage by throwing the darts.


    Her right hand was currently being trained to throw things from a distance, so it was a matter of time before she learns how to or being able to hit the target.


    Liu Longwei sensed her determination and smiled. Then he noticed that she was now better at throwing the darts as the force used by her right hand increased.


    He was proud of her.


    When her right hand started to become tired, Chen Lihua changed to her left hand, but it was doing a lot worse than her right hand.


    She couldn''t even throw the darts straight.


    She would throw out a dart with a direction in mind and with her gaze in a particular direction, but could someone please tell her why the dart was going in a different direction altogether?


    She glanced at Liu Longwei, but the latter had his gaze at the direction the dart flew to, while trying not to laugh loudly, and at the same time, avoiding locking eyes with her.


    "Stop laughing! It''s not funny!" Chen Lihua said, a little annoyed.


    ''Like seriously, what''s so funny?'' Chen Lihua thought.


    She didn''t see anything funny in what happened, so why was Liu Longwei laughing at her?


    "I''m sorry," Liu Longwei apologized as he was trying hard to hold in the laughter, but the look on his face already told Chen Lihua that he wasn''t sorry at all.


    So she glared at him before turning to face the dartboard and continued practicing with her right hand with the goal that she would try to make her left hand as strong as her left hand.


    The goal she had in mind was difficult to achieve for people like her who have been using their right hand all their lives and was already used to it.


    Well, with determination, she could achieve her goals because she was having these weird thoughts now, ''What if something happened to her right hand, does it mean she would have to quit performing surgeries?''


    She couldn''t help but think this far since the Deputy Chief tried to ruin her glasses to stop her from performing the heart transplant surgery.


    She felt that he was capable of ruining her hand, as well.


    Leaving the Deputy Chief and his troubles, she felt the need to have both hands working for her. She wanted to train her left hand to be able to do what her right hand can do, and more if possible.

 Chapter 325 - I do mind a lot.

    "How did you think of doing that in the car last night?". Liu Longwei asked as a teasing smile appeared on his face.


    Chen Lihua glared at him for few seconds before saying, "fifty shades".


    "what?". Liu Longwei asked, not being able to comprehend what she was saying.


    Chen Lihua glanced at him before making her way to the pool table. Then a realization came to her that Liu Longwei might not have heard about the movie she was talking about, or known about it, so she had to explain to him.


    "it''s a movie. I saw the scene from there".


    Liu Longwei gave her a side glance as a smirk turned up on his lips. "for you to have watched that scene in that movie, I already have an idea of what the movie is all about. Let''s watch it tonight".


    Chen Lihua cleared her throat as she moved her gaze from Liu Longwei to the pool table, then she picked up a red ball from the table as she fiddled with it in her hands.


    Then she opened her mouth to say, "the movie has three parts. Fifty shades of grey, fifty shades darker, and fifty shades freed".


    Liu Longwei looked at her in surprise as he came to stand beside her. He leaned in close to ask, "which part did you watch the car s.e.x from?".


    Chen Lihua raised her palm, and gently pushed his face away. "fifty shades freed". She replied.


    "Alright. We will start from the first part, fifty shades of grey, tonight. Then every night from today, we will watch a part of the movie. I need to see what my wife has seen". Liu Longwei replied with a smirk on his lips.


    "suit yourself". Chen Lihua replied as she dropped the red ball back on the pool table, and tried getting into position.


    Liu Longwei smiled and moved away from her, to stand in a distance as he watched her from there.


    Having gotten into position, Chen Lihua tried striking a ball with the pool''s stick, but she couldn''t, and that made her a little frustrated. So she glanced at the man who was busy staring at her.


    "Don''t you think you should give your wife a hand?". Chen Lihua asked with a frustrated look on her face.


    She had watched some movies and doc.u.mentaries on pool and snooker games, and has even watched her friends play them, but she hasn''t tried playing before, because to her at that time, it was more fun to watch them than to play, and also, she had no interest them.


    But watching them made her think the game was easy. And now she was so supposed to get into position effortlessly like the players always did, she found it difficult to do so.


    Now she has come to understand that until you try to replicate was someone has done instead of just watching them do it and think it''s easy, you will know and experience the effort people put to get things done.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he replied and walked towards her. "I was waiting for you to ask".


    "like seriously?". Chen Lihua asked with a look of disbelief written all over her face.


    Shouldn''t a husband come to help his wife out when she needs it, how come she had to ask him for help when it was obvious she needed it?. How come no one told her, her case was like this?.


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything in reply to her question, he only responded with a low chuckle as he came to stand behind her.


    "Let me show you how the game is being played". He said, while helping her to stay in the right position, as he began to explain more about the rules of the game.


    Liu Longwei was explaining the rules of the game, and didn''t get any response from her, so he had to stand beside her so he could be seeing her face.


    Instead of seeing a woman with a ''serious'' facial look, and who was supposed to be paying attention to what he was saying to her with a keen interest, he saw a woman lost in thought with a slight smile on her face.


    He frowned a little, then he moved his face close to hers, and asked in a low voice, "What''s funny?."


    Chen Lihua was not expecting such action from him, so her first instinct was to take a step back which she did, that almost caused her to slip and fall, which nearly happened if Liu Longwei wasn''t fast enough to catch her.


    "Thank you". Chen Lihua replied as she let go off his arm she was holding unto.


    "That''s not a problem, but the problem is that this husband of yours is waiting to receive the explanation for the reason you were lost in thought". Liu Longwei said with a serious facial expression.


    "Oh......!". Chen Lihua exclaimed while nooding her head as she looked into his eyes, pretending as if she didn''t understand him.


    "Yeah......" Liu Longwei played along as a dangerous smile appeared on his face, a dangerous smile that stil suggested that he was interested in her reply to his question.


    Seeing the serious look on his fce, Chen Lihua knew that she had to be serious, so she answered in a smile, "When you came behind me to adjust my position, i remembered the exact scene from fifty shades".


    "Wow! It looks there are lots of fun activities that i need to watch and learn from this movie. Hearing you say this , i already can''t wait to watch this movie. Do you mind telling me what transpired in that scene?". Liu Longwei inquired with a look of interest.


    "No, i do mind a lot. But it would be best to wait and see the movie for yourself". Chen Lihua suggested with a provocative smile.


    "Alright, i will listen to what my wife says. Now get back in position." Liu Longwei said the first-half of the sentence amicably. But the second-half of the sentence was said in an authoritative tone.


    Chen Lihua wasn''t bothered by the change of tone she just listened to him, obediently.

 Chapter 326 - Liu Longwei wants to have a match.

    Chen Lihua wasn''t bothered by the change of tone, she just listened to him, obediently.


    Now back in position, Liu Longwei had to start his teaching from the beginning, since she didn''t get what he said earlier.


    "What is the difference between pool and snooker? I''ve just come to realize that the two are similar". Chen Lihua asked as she watched him strike a red ball with the cue stick, and it entered into one of the pockets.


    Liu Longwei changed position, and continued striking the balls whilst replying her.


    "Not just pool and snooker, billiards is similar to them as well. Have you seen a snooker table, or where is being played?".


    "I''ve watched my friends play snooker so many times, so yes, I''ve seen where it''s being played". Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "Since you''ve seen it before, am sure you are able to tell the difference between the pool table in front of you, and the snooker table in your memories". Liu Longwei said while looking at her.


    Chen Lihua paused her lips in a thin line, and stared at Liu Longwei with no joy in her heart. "Are you trying to treat me the same way you treat your employees?". She asked.


    "Look at that look on your face, you are not even trying to pretend that you are not happy". Liu Longwei gave a low laugh as he approached her and wrapped his hands around her waist.


    "Why in the world would I smile when am clearly not happy?". Chen Lihua asked as a matter of fact.


    Clearly she wasn''t happy with his attitude towards her earlier, but she still allowed him to hug her waist.


    "Am sorry, I was just pulling your legs. How can I treat my precious treasure like my employee? You are my wife, and cannot be compared with them. Am sorry okay? My Love, please smile for your Darling". Liu Longwei requested in a smile as he tried to please his wife.


    But his efforts were not in waste because, Chen Lihua smiled and hugged his neck.


    After they had separated, Liu Longwei began to explain to her. "The main difference between pool, snooker and billiards is the size of the table, the size of the cue stick and the number of balls used in the game..................¡­.".


    Snooker is different from the other two games, because the players use a white cue ball to pocket the other balls in a set order, whereas in the other games, there are three balls that can be used as a striker to hit other balls


    The main goal of snooker is to score more points than your opponent by pocketing red balls and object balls (alternating). Once all red balls have been pocketed, you can then begin to pocket the remaining object balls in a specific order.


    "Thank you for teaching me, and the lesson was interesting. Now the point is getting to hold the cue stick the right way and strike a ball with it". Chen Lihua said.


    "Ok, watch me". Liu Longwei said and immediately started to demonstrate.


    Now, Chen Lihua watched him with keen interest, because she had a goal in mind to learn how to play the pool by the end of the day. She wouldn''t let it turn out like how the dart game came out.


    After Liu Longwei showed her, and even went behind her to help her hold the cue stick properly, Chen Lihua was now able to hold the cue stick appropriately.


    So she smiled at her progress, and continued to strike the balls with the image of Liu Longwei''s tactics in her mind.


    Within the next fifiteen minutes, she was able to pocket ten balls.


    "Bravo! I owe you a gift for the remarkable progress you showed." Liu Longwei said with a little excitememt in his voice as he clapped his hands.


    "Thank you.....thank you". Chen Lihua curtsied with a proud smile on her face.


    "Since you''ve shown such an extraordinary progress, what do you think if we had a match?." Liu Longwei suggested.


    "Now?". Chen Lihua asked in surprise. She had just learned to play pool, and now he was asking to have a match?.


    "Yes, Now." Liu Longwei replied in a smile.


    But how come that smile doesn''t look sincere to me?.


    "Am not doing that shit with you. You really are the example of the strong that bullies the weak. I have just learned to play pool, and your hands are already itching to defeat me, after your mind must have told you that i was the perfect opponent for you to oppress." Chen Lihua said while giving him the side-eye.


    She couldn''t believe how shameless he was.


    "Sweetheart i love you so much, so how could i bear to bully you?. It''s true that i have some experience with the pool, but my skills are rusty now, so I''m practically harmless." Liu Longwei replied with a hurtful expression.


    Chen Lihua''s eyeballs almost popped out from their sockets when she heard his reply.


    What does he mean by his skills were rusty?. The way he pocketed so many balls when teaching her said otherwise.


    But if those skills he displayed earlier was actually his skills being rusty, then what was left of her fate?.


    And what he did he say about not being able to bully her?.


    "You....you, doesn''t your concience prick you to say that you''ve never bullied me before?." Chen Lihua scoffed.


    "Have i bullied you before, then how come i don''t know about it?." Liu Longwei asked as a slight smile appeared on his face, while giving off the impression that he was really trying to remember when he bullied her.


    "Last night you.....". Chen Lihua trailed off.


    "What happened last night?". Liu Longwei asked as a visible smug look appeared on his face, as he dangerously closed in on her.


    "Forget it, just stay away from me". Chen Lihua said hurriedly, as she placed a palm on his chest to stop him from getting closer to her than he already has.


    Liu Longwei stopped in his steps and opene his mouth to say in a low dangerous voice, while pointing at a spot. "If you are talking about last night, and if i am not mistaken, you asked me to give him to......."


    "Longwei!." Chen Lihua cut him off imeediately as a little frown appeared on her face.


    Last night''s incident really made her feel ashamed of herself.


    Now him bringing it up, Chen Lihua felt like cutting him into little pieces of minced meat.

 Chapter 327 - Watching Fifty shades of grey

    "Longwei!!" Chen Lihua cut him off immediately as a little frown appeared on her face.


    What''s wrong with this man? Why is he teasing me about last night''s incident? I thought he had forgotten about it?


    Last night''s incident really made her feel ashamed of herself.


    Now he''s bringing it up, Chen Lihua felt like cutting him into little pieces of minced meat.


    "It''s fun seeing you behave like an angry tigress. Alright, are you in for the challenge?" Liu Longwei asked after deciding not to tease her further.


    "In your dreams!" Chen Lihua replied to him angrily before moving away to play the game, ''bowling''.


    The first hit she made, there wasn''t much strength used, so the ball didn''t hit any target.


    "This ball is so heavy," Chen Lihua complained. Liu Longwei stared at her before shaking his head in disbelief.


    ''Why is she holding the ball responsible when it''s clearly her fault?'' he thought.


    Chen Lihua was getting frustrated, so she turned to Liu Longwei to ask for help, "Darling, come and show me the techniques!"


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he came to stand beside her. The next second, he started to explain the techniques before he picked the bowling ball and threw it into one of the frames, hitting all the targets.


    "Did you see what I just did and how I did it?" Liu Longwei asked as a soft smile played on his lips. He looked proud of himself.


    "Well, I''m not blind," Chen Lihua retorted while rolling her eyes at him. Next, she picked the bowling ball and made a throw, but there wasn''t much difference in the force she applied now and her first try.


    Of course, Liu Longwei saw that, so he said to her, but it was more like advice, in a calm demeanor, "You lack stamina. We will start with our morning run every morning, and if possible, evening runs on some occasions."


    "What?!" Chen Lihua exclaimed unbelievably. She had managed to get him off her back with the morning run after she nearly fainted on one occasion, and now, he was at it again.


    "Ah! Just before you start planning something dangerous, no excuses will be tolerated as far as you wake up in this house every morning. One more thing, don''t even think about playing games with me because I''ve got my eyes on you," Liu Longwei said to her. Then he pointed two of his fingers to his own eyes before moving them towards hers. The ''action'' that said he was watching, or more like monitoring her.


    Chen Lihua sighed helplessly as the imaginary ticking-time-bomb in her head went off. Too bad that she has already been given a sound note of warning before she could come up with anything.


    "Am tired. I need to rest," Chen Lihua said, breaking the silence.


    Liu Longwei shut his eyes and opened them again within seconds. "Let''s go," he said to her.


    That evening, the husband and wife were inside their home movie theater, watching fifty shades of grey over a bottle of wine and some delicious red gr.a.p.e.


    Chen Lihua glanced at Liu Longwei when they got to a s*x scene. What she saw was the least she expected. She saw a man with a face devoid of any emotion, who had his eyes on the screen. It was as if what they were watching didn''t affect him at all.


    "Is there something on my face?" Liu Longwei asked and turned to look at her at the end of his sentence.


    "Are you paying attention to the movie, or are you lost in thought?" Chen Lihua replied with a question.


    "Well, I am very much into the movie. Just can''t wait for it to end so we can try some of the scenes tonight," Liu Longwei answered naughtily as a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes.


    Chen Lihua''s heart was beating a few paces faster after she heard that they were going to try out some of the s*x scenes at night; she was scared. But she managed to get a hold of herself. She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone.


    "Longwei, we can''t go out trying whatever we see on TV in real life. That is a movie for God''s sake, and we are living in reality."


    "Are you scared?" Liu Longwei asked as he slowly picked up his wine glass and took a sip from it. His actions were seductive.


    "Of course, I''m scared. Who knows if one day, you would tie me up and torture me before s*x, or even hit me the same way Christian Grey hit Anna," Chen Lihua lamented, as she spilled the worries in her heart.


    "Sweetheart, I am neither a beast nor a s*x maniac, and I don''t suffer from any mental impairment. So relax. You are in safe hands. But just know that I won''t go extreme just to have fun. You are like the Air I breathe, so I cannot bear to hurt you," Liu Longwei assured her.


    He very much understood her fears, and he wouldn''t allow it to come to pass. He will make sure of it.


    "Are you sure about that, because I heard.... forget it," Chen Lihua suddenly stopped.


    Liu Longwei turned to look towards her and asked curiously, "What did you hear?"


    Chen Lihua took in a deep breath before slowly opening her mouth to speak, "I heard from my friends and what I observed that most men enjoy that kind of s.e.x.u.a.l pleasure, and are satisfied by it."


    Liu Longwei replied almost immediately, "You said most men and I am not one of them."


    His words settled the turmoil that was starting to brew in Chen Lihua''s mind.


    Remembering something, Chen Lihua glanced at the man who already had his gaze back on the TV. What she wanted to say was kind of a little difficult for her to ask.


    Liu Longwei felt her eyes on him, so he glanced at her, and as he asked softly, "What''s up?"


    Chen Lihua fiddled with her fingers as she made up her mind to ask the question that was suddenly bothering her.

 Chapter 328 - Liu Longweis other name.

    Liu Longwei felt her eyes on him, so he glanced at her, and as he asked softly, "What''s up?"


    Chen Lihua fiddled with her fingers as she made up her mind to ask the question that was suddenly bothering her.


    "You won''t ever ask me to put that thing in my mouth, would you?"


    Liu Longwei glanced at her in confusion as he asked, "What are you talking about?"


    Chen Lihua looked him in the eye to see if he was actually confused or just pretending. Not sensing any tricks from him, she decided to come clean with him.


    She pointed her finger at somewhere between his legs as she stuttered, "I''m..... I''m...talking about that."


    Liu Longwei''s eyes followed the direction her finger was pointed at to his little brother. Then he looked back at her in a playful smile and asked with a finger pointed at his thing.


    "Are you talking about this?"


    "Mmmmmhh!" Chen Lihua hummed in reply before moving her gaze back to the TV. Apparently, she was embarrassed.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t force you to do anything you are not comfortable with," Liu Longwei assured her.


    His assurance made Chen Lihua calm down a lot. In fact, she felt relieved that she wouldn''t have to do anything against her wish.


    Feeling happy with her considerate husband, she kissed him on his side cheek, and after that, she focused her gaze on the TV as a blooming smile appeared on her face.


    Liu Longwei smiled at her actions and continued watching the movie.


    During the rest of the movie, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei kissed and smooched around, but they didn''t get dirty.


    Their night ended by having two sets of sumptuous dinner. By two sets of sumptuous dinner, I meant that they ate a delicious mean for dinner and went into the bedroom to have another special dinner.


    You lots know what I mean right? ..... (Winks, and then smiles).


    The afternoon of the next day, Chen Lihua dressed up and was ready to be on her way to the Liu Villa.


    "Are you sure you don''t want me to come with you?" Liu Longwei asked for the umpteenth time.


    "Yeah, am sure," Chen Lihua replied as she got into the Rolls Royce Phantom.


    Seeing her stretch out her arm to close the car door, Liu Longwei immediately held the car door.


    "How about I follow you and leave after you''ve gotten into the house?"


    Chen Lihua pulled the sunglasses over her eyes and stared right into his eyes. "I thought we were over this discussion that I would be fine on my own. Can you tell me what exactly you are afraid of because I can''t see anything?"


    Liu Longwei sighed and replied, "Am just looking out for you."


    "Thank you for worrying about me, but I can look out for myself there. If I don''t leave this minute, I will be late, and I hate being late," Chen Lihua urged him as she blinked her eyes repeatedly. Not because she was trying to act cute, but because her eyes couldn''t tolerate the sun rays any more.


    Liu Longwei noticed her discomfort and let the car door go. He kissed her softly on her red lips, waved her goodbye before finally closing the car door. Then he stood by the side and watched the car disappear from his sight.


    Liu Longwei took his eyes off the empty road and turned to speak to the head of the security team in charge of the security in his house.


    "Ensure they are safe," He ordered and walked into the house without waiting for a response.


    Liu Longwei meant his family when he used the word, ''they''.


    The bodyguard nodded and watched his Boss disappear into the house before he proceeded to speak into the electronic band on his wrist while making his way to the security building.


    "J5, I need eyes on the road. Do you copy?"


    "Alright, copy Boss," J5 responded and clicked on a few buttons in the car before pressing a button on the electronic bracelet on his wrist.


    Now having done so, Liu Longwei''s Chief security officer would be able to see the road ahead of them from the comfort of their zone.


    Chen Lihua left the house with two cars following her. One in front of the Rolls Royce, and another behind it. So J5 was in the car in front.


    "Q4, I need eyes on madam''s car, do you copy?" the chief security spoke into his bracelet.


    This bracelet is for communication amongst the bodyguards. They can reach each other anywhere in the world with it. The bracelet is not only for communication, but you will see it''s other functions later.


    Q4 is one of the bodyguards in the car behind Chen Lihua''s.


    Q4 got the message from his Boss and carried out the same action J5 did.


    Now, the Chief security officer had eyes on the road and on the car Chen Lihua was in.


    Not feeling too relaxed, he gave it one more instruction and continued to supervise the footage with other underlings.


    "K2, I need you to follow the Mistress closely."


    Liu Longwei was standing close to the window in his study and was enjoying the view from there. Then the next moment, he took out his phone from his pocket to make a call.


    He put his phone on loudspeaker with his other hand in the front pocket of his trouser.


    The person on the other end answered the call on the first ring and spoke in a low voice.


    "What can make the mighty Michael phone me personally? At a point, I thought you didn''t want to talk to me."


    Liu Longwei sighed and spoke calmly, "I sense something in the atmosphere. Help me check if there''s any movement from anyone."


    "Oh! You called because you need my help? If there is any danger, you could just lock up yourself at home to stay away from it. It is as simple as that," the person replied.


    "X, I don''t have time for this. I need you to give me a reply in not less than an hour," Liu Longwei replied and terminated the call immediately.

 Chapter 329 - A situation tonight

    "X, I don''t have time for this. I need you to give me a reply in not less than an hour," Liu Longwei replied and terminated the call immediately.


    Then he went ahead to sit on his chair, lost in thought.


    The journey to Liu Villa went smoothly; it was just like any other smooth travel.


    When Chen Lihua arrived at the Liu Villa, Madam Liu came out to welcome her with a big smile on her face. "See who is here to see us."


    Chen Lihua came down from the car and hurried to her mother-in-law with a smile. "Hello Mother, how are you?" Chen Lihua greeted her as she embraced her.


    "Am fine, my darling. How are you?" Madam Liu asked while releasing her from the hug.


    "Am doing great, mother, but I missed you," Chen Lihua stated.


    Madam Liu pulled her arm gently as she led her into the house.


    "So, you actually missed me but didn''t call me or come to see me?" Madam Liu asked as she feigned an annoyed look.


    "Mother am sorry about that. I''ve been busy at the hospital, and the surgeries took most of my time. But when I am finally given a break away from work, Longwei takes the remaining time," Chen Lihua put all the blame on work and Liu Longwei immediately. And she was not sorry for that; in fact, she was very happy.


    Madam Liu chuckled softly, "That son of mine! How is he doing?"


    "He is fine, mother," Chen Lihua replied.


    "I was wondering why you were taking too long. Who knew that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair were busy catching up, leaving this old lady here alone," Old Lady Liu commented. She had a displeased look on her face as she spoke.


    Madam Liu laughs and replies, "Mother, it''s not like that."


    Chen Lihua manages to smile after putting much effort into trying not to laugh. "Grandmother, it''s not like that."


    "You two talk alike. Then tell me, how is it like?" Old Lady Liu inquired with the same displeased look. She looked she wasn''t buying their words.


    Chen Lihua and Madam Liu walked towards Old Lady Liu, and both sat on each of her sides.


    Chen Lihua gave Old Lady Liu a side hug and a peck on her old cheek. "I missed you, grandmother."


    Old Lady Liu stared at Chen Lihua in awe. She was shocked by her gesture.


    Madam Liu was surprised as well, but she smiled as she said to Old Lady Liu, "Mother, you see, Lihua loves you more. I didn''t even get a kiss from her after such a long time."


    Old Lady Liu glanced at her daughter-in-law, and then at Chen Lihua. "This child! I don''t know what to do with you."


    "You can do anything you want, grandmother. Grandmother, mother, I brought you gifts," Chen Lihua said as she gestured to the three bodyguards that just stepped into the house.


    The three of them came forward and put all the gifts she brought down before leaving.


    "This child~ why did you have to trouble yourself? We are family!" Old Lady Liu reprimanded her kindly.


    "Lihua dear, we are family. You really don''t have to do this," Madam Liu added in a soft tone.


    "It''s exactly because we are family that I am doing this. If I don''t show love to my own family first, how can I be proud outside?" Chen Lihua replied with a bright smile.


    Madam Liu and Old Lady Liu felt touched by her words.


    "Oh, this child! You sure have a sweet tongue just like your mother," Old Lady Liu replied.


    Chen Lihua asked Old Lady Liu in surprise, "Really?"


    "You had no idea?" Madam Liu inquired with a smile.


    Chen Lihua shook her head in amazement. She was surprised to discover that she had that trait like her mother.


    Whenever she saw her mother use those tactics on people, she would say to herself and agree with the rest of the people that her mother had a sweet tongue. Not knowing that she too had that trait.


    "You know, you can give her a call," Madam Liu suggested from the side.


    "Thank you, mother, I will do that," Chen Lihua replied as she moved towards the gifts.


    "Grandmother, I didn''t know what to get for your friend, so I bought some vitamins and health supplements, local wine and flower tea. Is that okay?"


    Old Lady Liu face-palmed her forehead and asked with a tired look, "Who asked you to get a gift for her. Why bother going through the stress when I have already prepared gifts for her?"


    "Grandmother, it doesn''t matter. Since you invited me to the party, I had to get something for her despite knowing you would already have prepared gifts for her," Chen Lihua replied.


    Chen Lihua and the two women chatted for a bit before sitting at the dining to eat something. Thereafter, they went to get ready for the party.


    Chen Lihua was dressed in the same outfit she had come in¡ªa white long silk gown with her hair in an updo. She looked so simple but yet elegant and beautiful.


    Now ready to be on their way to the party, they decided to take the Limousine parked in the Liu Villa.


    K2 walked up to Chen Lihua and whispered in her ear, "Mistress, Boss said there is a situation tonight, so he asked you to sit in the Rolls Royce with the Old Madam and Madam. The car will be safer than the Limousine."


    Chen Lihua looked at him in surprise. She knew that for Liu Longwei to give out such instructions, something serious must have happened or is about to happen.


    "Where is he?" Chen Lihua asked calmly.


    "At the mansion," K2 replied.


    "Is it possible for us (Chen Lihua, Madam Liu, and the Old Lady) to sit at the back seat of the car without getting cramped?" Chen Lihua asked.


    She was worried about the space in the car. The car she has been sitting on was a two sitter car, so how could three grown-up women possibly sit in there?.

 Chapter 330 - A plan for Extraction

    "Is it possible for us (Chen Lihua, Madam Liu, and the Old Lady) to sit at the back seat of the car without getting cramped?" Chen Lihua asked.


    She was worried about the space in the car. The car she has been sitting on was a two sitter car, so how could three grown-up women possibly sit in there?


    "Mistress, that won''t be a problem," K2 replied and stepped away.


    "Lihua dear, is there a problem?" Madam Liu inquired. She and the Old Lady have been waiting for her for a while now.


    "There is no problem, mother. Longwei asked us to go to the party in the Rolls Royce," Chen Lihua said as she came to stand beside them.


    "But there''s nothing wrong with the limousine since it can accommodate all three of us. Is there a special reason for that?" Madam Liu inquired.


    Just like Chen Lihua, she doubted if the Rolls Royce could accommodate the three of them.


    "He said it would be safer to ride in the Rolls Royce than the Limousine," Chen Lihua answered.


    "What is wrong with my grandson and his protocols?" Old Lady Liu complained as Madam Liu stared intently at Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua stared at her, as well.


    Having gotten the hidden message in her eyes, Madam Liu held Old Lady Liu''s hand as she gently urged her, "Mother, let''s just listen to your grandson, and we are already running late for the party."


    Just in time, K2 signalled Chen Lihua that the car was ready.


    So Chen Lihua and the other two Mistresses of the Liu Family entered the Rolls Royce, which somehow been adjusted to accommodate the three of them.


    With the Old Lady sitting in the middle and with Chen Lihua and Madam Liu, sitting on each of her sides, they left for the party with four extra cars following them.


    J5 and three bodyguards were in the car leading the entourage, a car from the Liu Villa followed, the Rolls Royce, Q4 and three bodyguards next, and lastly, the second car from the Liu Villa.


    K2 and a driver were in the Rolls Royce with Chen Lihua, Madam Liu, and Old Lady Liu.


    "It''s just my friend''s birthday, is all these necessary?" Old Lady Liu asked, a bit annoyed. She wasn''t so happy with the whole fussing around.


    "Mother, please be happy. There is nothing wrong with that. Our position allows us to do this," Madam Liu tried placating the Old Lady.


    Old Lady Liu still wasn''t pleased, but she didn''t make a fuss again.


    At Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s villa


    Thirty minutes after Liu Longwei terminated the call, his phone rang, and he answered the call immediately.


    "Speak!"


    The person on the other end sighed, "Michael, you know I am your friend, right?"


    But it looks like Liu Longwei wasn''t interested in listening to that. So he asked instead of replying to that question, "What did you find?"


    Seeing that Liu Longwei was serious, the person on the other end of the phone decided to get right into business.


    "You are right! Something is wrong with the atmosphere. There is a planned kidnapping on your side, but I don''t know the perpetrators," X replied.


    "Who are they planning to kidnap, and what is their motive?" Liu Longwei questioned, in a heavy tone.


    "I don''t know their motive, but it seems like the target is your wife," X replied in a carefree manner.


    Liu Longwei breathed heavily, "Is there no way you can find out who they are?"


    "I''m sorry," X replied.


    Liu Longwei understood his reason for apologizing; he is not able to track them.


    "But I can assure you that they are not your personal enemies, and that''s if you didn''t make a new one after two years," X said


    "I haven''t made a new one since then," Liu Longwei replied.


    "That''s good. With this, I can assure you that it''s not from your side. I think you have to let your wife stay in-doors today because it''s dangerous outside," X advised.


    "It''s too late. She went out with my mother and grandmother for a birthday party," Liu Longwei replied as a frown appeared on his face.


    X was silent for a few seconds before he spoke up, "If the three of them are together, then their lives might be in danger. But since they just want your life, then I am sure they wouldn''t attack till she is on her way back to your house."


    "It seems like I have to go and get her myself," Liu Longwei said, a little pissed off.


    "That''s the right thing to do. I found something, and I will be sending it to your security team now. I wish you the best of luck," X said and terminated the call.


    Liu Longwei opened one of the drawers in his table and took out something that looked like a car key. He stood up and walked out with his phone and the item in hand.


    Liu Longwei walked into the security building and was immediately informed that X sent something by the head of his security team, AD.


    "AD, I need you to figure out what that thing is immediately," Liu Longwei commanded in an authoritative tone.


    AD signalled his underlings, and they began to work. They had to break the code before they would be able to access the link.


    In thirty seconds, the code was cracked, and the link started to load. When it was done loading, several things that looked like moving pictures started to play.


    "Boss, I don''t see anything here," the underling that was controlling the screen said in confusion.


    All he was seeing were random CCTV footage from different locations. He couldn''t see any relevant detail.


    "Did you say you can''t see anything?" AD asked the underling in a serious tone.


    How could X send them something useless?


    Liu Longwei and AD moved close to the screen to have a look.


    In less than twenty seconds, Liu Longwei gave the underling a look as he asked in a dangerous tone that was hard to detect, "Are you sure you really can''t see anything?"

 Chapter 331 - New friends.

    In less than twenty seconds, Liu Longwei gave the underling a look as he asked in a dangerous tone that was hard to detect, "Are you sure you really can''t see anything?"


    The underling was scared to give a negative response because his Top Boss, Liu Longwei didn''t look like he would agree to his negative response. He might even get fired in the process.


    He couldn''t even lie because it would cost him his life, and he couldn''t keep his mouth shut because Liu Longwei asked him a question.


    So he had to make a choice. He chose to say the truth, but in a meek voice because he was scared of the wrath that would befall him.


    "I can''t see anything, Sir."


    "Very good," Liu Longwei replied and turned to AD to say, "I can see how good you are in training them."


    AD was speechless. Not knowing what to say, he turned to the underling and gave him a death glare, which meant that the scores would be settled later.


    "AD, I need people to monitor those four black cars and the two power bikes at the corner. Contact the military. I need three choppers immediately. I will send you the location they need to come to. Stay here and oversee the whole extraction, and I need you to stay in touch with me when I leave here," Liu Longwei ordered.


    AD responded with, "Yes Sir," and immediately got to work.


    Liu Longwei left the house in a yellow sports car with black tinted glasses. He was on his way to rescue his wife.


    At the GU Mansion where the birthday celebration was going on, Chen Lihua and the two ladies from the Liu house went to see the birthday celebrant, Old Lady Gu.


    The party was in full spring when they arrived, so they had to go greet the celebrant upon arrival.


    Old Lady Gu was chatting with some of her friends, and she was the centre of attraction dressed in a blue embroidered Qi Pao. She smiled from ear to ear.


    When she saw Old Lady Liu, she stood up and walked towards her, saying with a little excitement in her voice. "This Old Lady, I thought you wouldn''t come, so I was already planning on how to detain you at my house, anytime you would come visiting."


    "I can very well see how perfectly the planning is going," Old Lady Liu said sarcastically, as she hugged her friend.


    "Happy Birthday, dear friend," Old Lady Liu wished her friend.


    "Thank you," Old Lady Gu said in appreciation before her sight landed on Chen Lihua and Madam Liu.


    "Old Lady, I can see you came with your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law," Old Lady Gu commented while peering over at Chen Lihua and Madam Liu with a smile.


    Hearing their names being mentioned, Chen Lihua and Madam Liu stepped forward to greet Old Lady Gu. The Old Lady responded to their greetings and birthday wishes happily.


    The other Old Ladies who were with Old Lady Gu walked to them with smiles on their faces. They greeted Old Lady Liu, and they seemed to be respectful in their greetings.


    Old Lady Liu replied as she greeted them before introducing Chen Lihua to them when they asked about her.


    "This is my granddaughter-in-law Chen Lihua. Lihua dear, these Old fellas are my friends."


    Chen Lihua greeted them with a polite smile.


    The Old Ladies were pleased with her. They praised her for her beauty and praised Madam Liu and Old Lady Liu for having a wonderful daughter-in-law with so many accomplishments, beauty, and had a good family background.


    Of course, Old Lady Liu had a proud smile on her face for being praised.


    Some of the Old Ladies envied Old Lady Liu for having a granddaughter-in-law like Chen Lihua.


    "Why are we all standing and talking when we could still do that while sitting? Come, let''s all take a seat," Old Lady Gu said to them as she led them to the previous place they were sitting.


    "Lihua dear, come let me introduce you to some other people. I know it must have been a long time since you attended parties like this," Madam Liu said kindly to Chen Lihua, as she gently pulled her hand before leading her away.


    "Yes, mother. It''s been years since I attended this kind of party. And when I used to attend this kind of party, I was never happy about it. In parties like this, everybody has a fake smile on their faces while they talk to you. But behind your back, they talk bad about you," Chen Lihua said.


    "You are right, Lihua, but you only talked about the negative part. Just ignore people like that, or you play along with them. You know, there is a good side to parties like this. You get to meet new people, business partners, destiny helpers. You also get to enjoy the scenario, the food and drinks, and lots more," Madam Liu said with a smile.


    "Hmmm! That''s right, mother," Chen Lihua said in total agreement with her.


    Chen Lihua decided to change her thoughts about the parties.


    Madam Liu introduced her to her friends and their children. They made small talks with some of them before they decided to take a rest.


    "Lihua dear, sit over there while I get us something to eat and drink," Madam Liu said.


    "No, mother, let''s go together," Chen Lihua said, trying to compromise. How could she sit and wait for her elder to bring food for her?


    "Don''t worry. I will take care of it. Just sit there, people will come to chat with you. But if I stay glued to you, it might scare them away."


    Chen Lihua smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, mother."


    Madam Liu smiled and left after patting her shoulders.


    Not even a minute after Madam Liu left, three ladies approached Chen Lihua with a smile.


    One of the Ladies introduced herself before politely asking Chen Lihua, "Can we sit here?"


    "Of course, please have a seat," Chen Lihua said as she gestured with her hand.


    The three girls sat down, and the other two introduced themselves.


    Chen Lihua introduced herself, and the four began to make small talks.


    "Don''t mind my rudeness, but I saw your interaction with Mrs Liu, and you two seemed pretty close. Do you share a special relationship with her?" the girl that first spoke to Chen Lihua asked curiously.

 Chapter 332 - Old Lady Liu is proud of her granddaughter-in-law

    "Don''t mind my rudeness, but I noticed your interaction with Mrs Liu, and you two seemed pretty close. Do you share a special relationship with her?" the girl that first spoke to Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "She is my mother-in-law," Chen Lihua replied with a smile as she looked towards the direction her mother-in-law disappeared towards before looking back at the ladies, not taking offence with her question.


    "Wow! So you are married?" one of the ladies asked in surprise.


    "Yes, I am," Chen Lihua replied happily. She seemed to be very happy with her marriage.


    "Your ring is beautiful," one of the girls said with a little excitement in her voice. She had noticed the beautiful Graff Pink Diamond Ring majestically sitting on Chen Lihua''s ring finger.


    "Thank you," Chen Lihua replied.


    "Can we take a close look at it," the third Lady asked excitedly.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her before looking at the crowd. Some of them were beginning to pay attention to them.


    The three ladies followed her sight till it came to rest on the crowd. Seeing that they had caught the attention of some of them, they understood Chen Lihua. So they didn''t insist on having a closer look at the ring again, in order not to put her in an awkward situation.


    "Your ring looks quite expensive. It must have cost a little fortune to buy it," the first Lady said.


    "Did you say quite expensive? That ring is very expensive and rare. The pink diamond is very rare, so even if you had the money, you might not be able to get it," the second Lady said.


    "Wow!" the two other ladies exclaimed. They were shocked to learn about the details of the ring that was majestically sitting on Chen Lihua''s finger.


    "If Madam Liu is your mother-in-law, which of her sons did you get married to?" the third Lady asked.


    "Longwei," Chen Lihua answered as her lips turned up in a beautiful smile that bloomed like the flowers.


    "Wow! That''s wonderful," the second Lady said.


    "I can''t believe that our heartthrob has been taken," the third Lady said with a little disappointment in her voice.


    The first Lady gently nudged her arm as she gently reprimanded her. "Well, your heartthrob is someone''s husband now, so could you please have a little dignity?"


    The third Lady seem to come back to her senses when she met Chen Lihua''s smiling face.


    "OMG! I''m so sorry! I didn''t mean to say that," she quickly apologized to Chen Lihua. Because she was carried away by her imaginative thoughts, she forgot that Liu Longwei was Chen Lihua''s husband and that she was sitting close to her.


    "No offence taken," Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    She wasn''t angry at all.


    ''Longwei, it looks like you have so many ladies after you,'' she said to herself.


    "You seemed to know my mother-in-law?" Chen Lihua turned the question to the first Lady. The one that asked her if she had a special relationship with Madam Liu.


    "That''s right. I''ve seen her at so many functions and parties, and have also heard a lot about her and her best friend, Lady Chen from my mother," the first Lady replied.


    Chen Lihua just nodded her head in a smile.


    "Hold on, did you just say Lady Chen?" the second Lady asked in surprise as a thought suddenly popped up in her head.


    "Yeah, I did. Why are you getting so riled up for?" the first Lady asked in confusion.


    The second Lady didn''t reply. Instead, she glanced at Chen Lihua and then back at the two other ladies who followed her sight in confusion.


    Then as if the three had come to a tacit understanding, they stared at Chen Lihua in shock.


    Chen Lihua understood that look, so she smiled and decided to satiate their expectant look, "Lady Chen is my mother."


    "Wow!" the three girls chorused and began to throw questions at Chen Lihua.


    They even talked about their careers and their families, and that was how Chen Lihua got to know that the three girls don''t stay in City B.


    The four of them chatted for a bit before they stood up to leave after exchanging their contact information when Madam Liu arrived.


    "It looks like you were quite busy when I was away?" Madam Liu commented while putting the tray in her hands on the table.


    "Yes, mother. I met those three ladies, and we talked. And it turns out that they know you and my mother," Chen Lihua smile as she replied, before going further to recount the ladies'' facial expressions, and how they reacted when she confirmed that Lady Chen was her mother.


    Madam Liu smiled and said while passing a glass of champagne and a plate of dessert to her, "You talked for a long time. Have something to drink to quench your thirst, and eat something to replenish the lost energy."


    "Thank you, mother," Chen Lihua smiled as she collected the champagne glass to have a taste of its content.


    As for Old Lady Liu, she was having fun with her friends.


    When her granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law left earlier, her friends continued asking about Chen Lihua. They were already fond of her.


    Old Lady Liu answered their questions with a happy smile etched on her face. She only told them what they should know. The rest, she swallowed them.


    "Is your granddaughter-in-law, Dr Chen that works at Standard Union Hospital (SUH)?" one of the old ladies asked with keen interest.


    "Yes, she is a cardio-thoracic surgeon there," Old Lady Liu confirmed with a proud smile on her face.


    "If that is so, then she must be the one that saved Old Long''s life," the Old Lady replied with a joyful expression on her face.


    "She saved your husband''s life, how?" one of the old ladies asked curiously.


    I am sure by now you must have known that the Old Lady asking about Chen Lihua is Old Lady Long.


    Chen Lihua brought up a new medical technique that helped save his life. Chairman Long was the patient that had a sudden cardiac arrest while taking a walk in the park.


    After Chief Surgeon Song introduced Chen Lihua to him as his saviour, he went back home after he was discharged and spread the news to his family.


    Old Lady Long went ahead to give them the details of what transpired.


    "Old Liu, you are quite lucky to have a wonderful girl like your granddaughter-in-law. My husband wanted to introduce one of our grandson''s to her, but it turned out that she was already married to your grandson, Longwei."


    This new subject alone, caused the Old ladies to become excited as they pestered Old Lady Long for more details.


    Old Lady Liu, on the other hand, smiled from ear to ear as she listened to their conversation.

 Chapter 333 - Madam Lius worry

    This new subject alone caused the Old ladies to become excited as they pestered Old Lady Long for more details.


    Old Lady Liu, on the other hand, smiled from ear to ear as she listened to their conversation.


    "Enough talking about my family, let''s talk about something else," Old lady Liu said from the side.


    The old ladies gathered around chuckled softly, but they listened to her.


    They talked about various topics, ate and drank, and also played games like mah-jong, etc.


    After the first round of the game, it was time for the birthday celebrant to cut her cake, so her only son Mr Gu came to her side to support her.


    The other Old Ladies, including Old Lady Liu, followed after them.


    After cutting the cake, Old Lady Liu said goodbye to her friends before leaving the party with Chen Lihua and Madam Liu.


    "Mother, how was the party? Did you have fun?" Madam Liu inquired.


    "The party was fine, and I had so much fun. It is always fun hanging out with my friends," Old Lady Liu replied.


    "Grandmother, since you had fun with your friends today, try going out to meet them sometimes," Chen Lihua suggested with a smile.


    The Old Lady glanced at her and took her hand in hers as she replied in a smile, "Alright, I will listen to you."


    "Mother, look, you never listen to me. But one word from your granddaughter-in-law, you already agreed with her. But let''s see if you would do what you are agreed on," Madam Liu whined.


    "Mother, you don''t have to worry about that because I will keep tabs on grandmother and make sure she does," Chen Lihua said cheerfully, before turning her gaze to the road.


    The journey back to the Liu house went smoothly. When they arrived, Chen Lihua and Madam Liu helped Old Lady Liu out of the car.


    Madam Liu gave two female servants that came out to welcome them a sidelong glance, and they helped Old Lady Liu inside.


    Chen Lihua gave Old Lady Liu a warm hug before the servants escorted her inside.


    "Lihua dear, why don''t you spend the night here because of your safety, instead of being on the road this late at night?" Madam Liu suggested worriedly.


    Chen Lihua held her hands and assured her with a smile, "Don''t worry about me, mother. I will be fine. Since Longwei didn''t mention anything about staying over, I am sure the matter is not serious."


    Madam Liu sighed and continued, "But my heart is not at ease. Just stay for the night. Even if you have to be in the hospital tomorrow, you can leave from here. At most, you will have to leave early tomorrow morning."


    "Mother, I said I would be fine. I am not scared of anything, and nothing will happen to me. They will ensure my safety," Chen Lihua said while pointing at her escorts.


    "Go on, mother. Don''t miss me too much, goodnight," Chen Lihua said to her mother-in-law.


    Seeing that her daughter-in-law insisted on leaving that night, Madam Liu sighed before yielding, "Alright, get on the car. I will watch you leave."


    "Thank you, mother," Chen Lihua said in a hug before she got into the Rolls Royce.


    Then Madam Liu stood as she watched the three cars leave her sight.


    "What are you doing standing out in the cold night?" a voice spoke from behind her as a warm cloth covered her shoulders.


    Recognizing her husband''s voice, Madam Liu turned with a smile on her face as she clasped the cloth placed on her shoulders.


    "When did you come back?" Madam Liu asked.


    "An hour ago," Liu Huang replied as he led her inside.


    "Did Longwei mention anything to you today?" Madam Liu asked in concern. She was obviously still worried about her daughter-in-law''s safety.


    Liu Huang understood her question, so he replied, "Yes, he did. Don''t worry about Lihua. She will be safe; our son will make sure of that."


    "He is taking a big risk! She could have stayed the night!! Why did he have to make her go back this night?" Madam Liu puffed angrily. She couldn''t believe her son would risk his wife''s life. Didn''t he love her anymore?


    "Our son has his ways. If he let her spend the night here, her life would be more at risk because he may not know when they would strike again. But now that he has got eyes on them, he needed to get rid of them as soon as possible. So this is the perfect opportunity for that," Liu Huang explained.


    "Are you telling me that Longwei is using his wife as a bait?" Madam Liu said in an alarmed tone.


    Liu Huang quickly covered her mouth as he led her to their room.


    "Biyu, keep your voice down! Mother might hear you."


    "How can I keep my voice down when our son is taking such a dangerous step? How will I explain this to Ju Ju if anything happens to her daughter?" Madam Liu said with her heart in turmoil as she paced around the room.


    "Honey, you need to calm down. Our son loves Lihua so much that he would risk his life for her. Don''t worry. He is on his way already; he will rescue her personally. And the president is aware, so he lent a helping hand. Don''t worry, Lihua would be fine," Liu Huang assured her as he led her to sit on the bed.


    "It would be better if Longwei risks his life to save Lihua. I have four children, and it would be painful to lose any of them. But Ju Ju has only Lihua. If anything happens to her daughter, she will go crazy," Madam Liu said, almost in tears. She recalled the dilemma of her good friend, Lady Chen''s when she lost her twins.


    "Honey, don''t cry. Everything will be alright," Liu Huang assured her one more time as he hugged her.


    On the way back to Liu Longwei''s villa, Chen Lihua didn''t look troubled at all. Instead, she requested for music.


    K2 glanced at the driver before putting on some music for her. The volume was low, but it was just right for Chen Lihua to hear.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes met with K2, but she moved her eyes away within seconds. She could sense that something was wrong.


    Two minutes later, her cell phone rang. She checked the caller ID and smiled when she saw the name.

 Chapter 334 - A failed Trap

    Chen Lihua''s eyes met with K2, but she moved her eyes away within seconds. She could sense that something was wrong.


    Two minutes later, her cell phone rang. She checked the caller ID and smiled when she saw the name.


    "Darling!" she called out.


    "Sweetheart, how are you?" Liu Longwei asked as he took a turn. He connected his phone to the car, so he was able to talk to her freely.


    "I''m fine. Where are you?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "On my way to get you. Don''t panic! Nothing will happen to you. I will be there for you," Liu Longwei spoke.


    A smile played on Chen Lihua''s lips as she said, "I am not panicking, but I will be waiting for you."


    Those words I will be waiting for you finally put a smile on Liu Longwei''s face.


    "I will see you in a bit. I love you."


    "I love you," Chen Lihua said lovingly.


    After the call with his wife, Liu Longwei phoned AD. After receiving information from him and confirming some details from him, he sped up.


    Chen Lihua took a bottle of water, uncapped it before drinking a little from it. She was beginning to feel a bit nervous, so she took deep breaths as she said some positive words to encourage herself.


    Her words were inaudible. So, no one could hear. They could only see her closed eyes.


    Something suddenly happened that made Chen Lihua open her eyes.


    Their car slammed on its brake all of a sudden, and that caused her to jerk forward. But with the help of the seat belt, she was secured. It restricted her from colliding with the front passenger seat.


    "I''m sorry, ma''am," the driver apologized. Though, It wasn''t his fault, but he had to apologize because his mistress would have been injured from his action.


    "Ma''am, are you okay?" K2 asked while looking towards her in concern. He will be dead meat if anything happens to her.


    If something happened to her just now, then his life would be over because he still needed to protect her from the greater danger. So, he couldn''t put her life at risk.


    "It''s okay! I am fine. What happened just now?" Chen Lihua asked with a frown on her face. Although she didn''t blame the driver, she was still a bit angry.


    "Ma''am, two power bikes blocked the road," K2 replied after confirming from his colleague in the car in front.


    "Oh! They came too soon," Chen Lihua uttered as she tried looking out through the tinted glass windows of the car, but she couldn''t see anything.


    The driver and K2 swallowed hard, ''Ma''am, what do you mean?''


    They felt like their mistress had an appointment with them, or must have collided with them for her to speak in such a manner.


    "Do not come out from the car, and do not shoot no matter what happens. Stay indoors. Help is on the way!" a voice boomed in the car.


    The voice belonged to AD. He was speaking to the bodyguards.


    So the other bodyguards in the two cars heard his instructions the same way, so they stayed put.


    "Ma''am, please, I need you to stay calm! We will ensure your safety," AD directed this instruction to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh as she relaxed. She couldn''t tell what she was feeling right now. She knew she was nervous and couldn''t wait to wake up the next morning lying next to her husband.


    Even though she didn''t want to think about what was happening, yet she couldn''t stop those thoughts from coming to her head.


    She started thinking of who was behind this act; and what they were after. From the connections she had, it was either they wanted to abduct her or kill her.


    Well, she just hopes they won''t succeed, because she wouldn''t know what will happen to her if they did. She was even confused because she has never been in that kind of situation before.


    Just before her thoughts could go any wilder, AD spoke again.


    "Four incoming cars are coming your way. Stay put!"


    The bodyguards in the first car could see things clearly. The two power bikes stopped some distance away from them with their headlamps and engine running, but their riders didn''t take any action.


    The bodyguards in the car were wondering why AD asked them to stay put when it was just two power bikes obstructing their path. But when they heard that there were four incoming vehicles, they knew that they would have fallen into a trap. They would have been at a disadvantage if they took a step out of the cars.


    So they sighed in relief but became more alert as they waited for further instructions.


    When the four cars arrived, they parked behind the power bikes. Then within seconds, the people in the four cars stepped out with firearms. They had a serious look on their faces as they walked forward.


    One of them, who looked like their Boss, spoke up, "We came peacefully, so there will be no casualties if you listen to us obediently. Hand Miss Chen over to us."


    ''Miss Chen?'' Chen Lihua thought.


    This person that addressed her this way must have been sent from her family, or someone from her family''s side.


    If they were from Liu Longwei''s side, they wouldn''t have addressed her that way.


    Chen Lihua began to wonder who would have sent these people to abduct her.


    Seeing no reactions from any of them, the person who looked like their Boss spoke again, this time around impatiently.


    "Just give up already and save our time. There is no way out for you, you have been surrounded, and no cars will pass through this road tonight, and your communications have been jammed."


    Chen Lihua, and including the bodyguards, checked their phones and lines of communication and found out that they were not working.


    AD saw the screen go blank and tried communicating with the bodyguards, but he couldn''t succeed. So he gave the person in charge of the system two minutes to restore the communication.


    After giving out the instructions, he contacted Liu Longwei.


    "Boss, we lost communication and eyes on them."


    "When did this happen?" Liu Longwei asked angrily.


    "A few seconds ago. But it''s good that we are well prepared. We only need enough time. But now we have lost sight of them. We will need to act fast," AD replied.


    "I will be there in a minute. What of the military?" Liu Longwei asked.


    AD received a notification from his wristband, so he smiled as he replied, "They just arrived there."

 Chapter 335 - In safe hands

    "I will be there in a minute. What of the military?" Liu Longwei asked.


    AD received a notification from his wristband, so he smiled as he replied, "They just arrived there."


    At the abduction scene two minutes ago....


    When the ring leader didn''t see any movements from them, he got very furious and commanded one of his underling''s to bring out the bombs and place them on each of the cars.


    But before that, he shot at the windscreen of the first car, but as he thought, the car was bullet-proofed.


    That gunshot scared the shit out of Chen Lihua. She became so scared that she started to shiver. She almost told K2 to let her out of the car since she was the one they wanted. But remembering Liu Longwei''s instructions, she decided to stay put.


    As the three underlings held the bombs and took a few steps towards them, they suddenly halted in their steps. And that was because everybody at the scene could hear a sound coming from afar, but no one knew the source.


    Chen Lihua and the bodyguards could hear the sound too. Although they couldn''t see anything, they still knew it was good news.


    "K2, I need you to help Mistress out of the vehicle immediately when I ask you to. Do you copy?" AD said.


    "Yes, Boss," K2 replied and felt relieved that the communication was back.


    "Ma''am, please, I need you to take off your seat belt now," K2 said to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua listened to him and took off the seat belt.


    By now, the sounds were getting very close. So K2 looked out through the window and saw a helicopter from the military.


    He turned to Chen Lihua and said, "Ma''am, help is here."


    Chen Lihua felt relieved as she looked out through the window.


    The bodyguards could only see one helicopter, but what the assassins saw was different. They saw three military helicopters coming from three different directions. And it was now that it dawned on them where the sound was coming from.


    The sound they heard was ''the blade slap,'' and it is the sound that comes from a helicopter during its approach.


    The ring leader and their crew immediately stayed in a defensive position with their guns pointed in the direction of the helicopters.


    "This is the military! You are all surrounded! Drop your weapons where we can see them, and put your hands in the air!" a male voice sounded through a megaphone. It was loud and clear.


    The ring leader was devastated because he didn''t see this coming at all. He looked around him and didn''t know what to do, for he was reluctant to obey the soldier''s command.


    In the next few seconds, the three military helicopters landed, and the soldiers rushed down and walked forward with their guns pointing at the enemy.


    "I said, drop your weapons where we can see them, and put your hands in the air. If you try anything, then we will blow off your heads!" the same voice spoke; this time around, it was harsher.


    The ring leader looked around and saw no hope for escape, so he put his gun down slowly before putting his hands up.


    When his underlings saw him surrender, they knew there was no hope left for them, so they obeyed the soldier''s command.


    As for the two assassins on the power bikes, they tried to escape with their bikes but were shot on their legs, immediately they made a move.


    "Move away from your guns now!" the strong military voice commanded.


    Seeing their mates being shot, the rest of the assassins became submissive. They did exactly as they were told.


    Immediately, the soldiers surrounded them and cuffed their hands.


    As the soldiers had already rounded them up, Liu Longwei''s bodyguards were now free to come out from the car.


    At this moment, a yellow sports car arrived. When it got to the centre between the assassins'' cars and the bodyguards'' cars, it did a sharp turn before reversing and stopping beside the Rolls Royce.


    "Ma''am, Boss is here," K2 said to Chen Lihua as he opened the car door for her before guiding her to the yellow sports car.


    Liu Longwei came down from the car, and immediately his eyes met with Chen Lihua''s. And as he walked to her, he could see the visible fear in her eyes.


    Chen Lihua stood at a spot as she watched her husband approach her with a look of worry.


    She couldn''t tell the kind of emotions that she was feeling right now.


    When Liu Longwei came to stand in front of her, he stared at her, deeply. He was now able to see the emotions in her eyes clearly.


    He could see fear, which he knew was caused by the experience she got there and relief that he was here.


    Liu Longwei felt guilty that his wife went through this type of terrible situation she has never been in since she was born.


    Liu Longwei wrapped his hands at her back as he enveloped her in a hug. As he hugged her, he rubbed her back in the process in other to calm her down.


    Both of them didn''t say anything to each other. They just enjoyed each other''s warmth.


    Chen Lihua could feel her eyes starting to become teary. As she hugged Liu Longwei, tears began rolling down her cheeks, and she was doing everything possible not to let her whimpers out. But Liu Longwei still heard her.


    "Sweetheart, it''s okay, don''t cry. Everything is settled," Liu Longwei said to her in consolation.


    His words seemed to make Chen Lihua''s whimper increase.


    Chen Lihua was very emotional right now. What she experienced tonight was terrible. The gunshots and the threats, and also the thing about being in a life-threatening situation, it was really too much for her to handle.


    "Baby, don''t cry, I''m here. I will bring the culprit behind this to justice. I''m so sorry you had to go through all these," Liu Longwei said with guilt in his tone as he continued to rub her back.


    As for the bodyguards, they surrounded Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei in a circular form, but there was quite some distance.


    The soldier in charge of the mission was waiting at the side because he needed to speak with Liu Longwei.


    But seeing how occupied he was, he had to wait on the side. After all, an order personally came from the president for them to take care of the situation.

 Chapter 336 - Absurd thoughts

    "I''m happy you came for me," Chen Lihua said in tears.


    "Sweetheart, you have to stop crying. Everybody is watching you," Liu Longwei reminded in a low teasing voice.


    The whole emotions that were in disarray started going back to normal.


    Chen Lihua recollected herself immediately. Earlier, she was driven by her emotions, so she forgot she and Liu Longwei were not alone.


    Now, she felt that she has embarrassed herself and has no face again.


    She was about to release herself from the hug when Liu Longwei held her tightly.


    "I missed you," He said in a low tone before releasing her from the hug.


    He kissed her forehead before hugging her again.


    "Wait in the car. I will be back," Liu Longwei said to her and turned around to walk away, but he felt something holding onto his jacket. So, he turned back around to see Chen Lihua''s long and slender fingers holding onto his jacket.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he cupped her cheeks. "My Love, I won''t take long. I will be back in a minute, okay?"


    Chen Lihua stared into his eyes and slowly nodded in agreement.


    Liu Longwei smiled and lowered his head to kiss her lips softly before escorting her to the car.


    When he closed the car door, he turned to K2 and said in a grave tone, "Watch over her" before walking to meet the leader of the military soldiers.


    Obeying Master''s command, K2 and some of the bodyguards surrounded the sports car.


    At seeing them, since they made their presence known to her, Chen Lihua felt safe. But she continued staring towards the direction Liu Longwei walked off.


    She could see Liu Longwei and the leader of the military soldiers conversing.


    Chen Lihua sighed in relief and looked down to fiddle with her fingers. She looked on the floor of the car and saw her bag.


    As she was not in the mood and didn''t need the bag for anything, Chen Lihua looked at the car''s windscreen to see Liu Longwei walking back. She breathed a deep sigh of relief.


    "How do you feel?" Liu Longwei asked when he got into the car.


    "I''m better now," Chen Lihua replied in a soft tone.


    "Alright, we will be home soon," Liu Longwei announced as he secured their seat belts before driving off with the bodyguards driving behind them.


    When they got home, Liu Longwei helped his wife out of the car. He even asked her this question with a look of worry, "Should I carry you?"


    "I can walk by myself," Chen Lihua replied in a low chuckle after seeing the look on his face. She found that look to be funny.


    This is the first time she''s smiling since that incident.


    Her smiling once again meant a lot to Liu Longwei, so he felt relieved.


    He held her waist and escorted her inside the house.


    "What would you like for dinner?" Liu Longwei asked.


    "I''m not hungry," Chen Lihua replied. She didn''t feel like eating anything.


    She didn''t think that with her mental state now, she would be able to stomach anything.


    "How can you that you are not hungry?" Liu Longwei said to her with a slight frown on his face, before turning to say to the butler.


    "Get the kitchen to serve dinner."


    "But I am not hungry. Really!!" Chen Lihua tried to convince him as she grabbed his arm.


    "There is no problem if you are not hungry, but I hope there won''t be one in watching your husband eat because I am hungry?" Liu Longwei asked as he peered into her face.


    "There is no problem at all," Chen Lihua said. She didn''t have any problem watching him eat.


    She just hoped that the only thing she had to do was to sit and watch him eat, and nothing more.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei took the elevator to their bedroom.


    "Do you need my help with showering?" Liu Longwei asked thoughtfully.


    "No, thank you, I can help myself. Just stay around," Chen Lihua answered as she dropped her bag on the table before going into the bathroom.


    Help her bath? Even if her brains were not functioning anymore. She couldn''t trust that man she called her husband.


    Well, he hasn''t given her any reason to trust him in that area yet. So, for now, she will not allow him to help her with such a task.


    Only if Liu Longwei knew his wife didn''t trust him to help her with a bath, and not because she could take care of herself, he would have shed tears by now.


    When Chen Lihua went into the bathroom, Liu Longwei picked up his phone to dial his mother''s number, and Madam Liu picked on the first ring.


    Not allowing him to talk, she spoke first with a worried tone, "Son, how is my daughter-in-law? Is she fine! Where is she? I want to speak to her?"


    "Mum, calm down. Lihua is fine. We are at home now, but you can''t speak to her. She is having her bath."


    "She is taking her bath, and you left her alone?!" Madam Liu asked in an alarmed tone.


    "Mum, what''s the problem?" Liu Longwei asked in confusion. Was it now a bad thing to do so?


    Listening to her son, Madam Liu felt that Liu Longwei was stupid for the first time in his life.


    "So you have no idea of what you did wrong? It''s not right to leave Lihua all alone after what she went through tonight. Do you even have a conscience? Don''t you know that her mind will keep on wandering about and that she might do things wrongly? For example, she might mistake the cool water for the hot one or even put soap on the towel and use it to bath instead of a sponge. Do you understand what I mean now?" Madam Liu asked.


    Madam Liu has already heard about what transpired that night from her husband Liu Huang, who got the information from Longwei, so she felt heartbroken for her daughter-in-law.


    Liu Longwei felt that his mother was ridiculous and that her words were outrageous. How long did it take her to come up with those absurd thoughts?

 Chapter 337 - She needs to see a psychiatrist

    Liu Longwei felt that his mother was ridiculous and that her words were outrageous. How long did it take her to come up with those absurd thoughts?


    She must have been watching too many dramas of late.


    But come to think of it, she might be right. He knew Chen Lihua''s mental state was affected. And because he didn''t want to take any chances, he ended the call with his mother and went to check on his wife.


    The wife he knew would have locked the door, but surprisingly, the door was open. So he walked in only to see Chen Lihua still dressed and staring at herself in the mirror. She looked lost in thought.


    Liu Longwei found her actions strange, so he walked over to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders as he called out to her.


    "Sweetheart, are you okay?"


    His voice and his touch jolted Chen Lihua back to reality.


    When she heard him calling her and felt someone touch her, she became so scared that her heartbeats increased. But when she saw her husband from the mirror, she placed her hand on her chest out of fright as she took deep breaths.


    "Why are you here?" she asked.


    "Lihua, are you okay?" Liu Longwei asked worriedly. He could see how frightened she was, and that was not a good thing.


    Any time Liu Longwei calls her by her name, then he is serious about what he is saying to her or wants to tell her.


    Tonight''s incident has deeply affected her mental state, and he had to do something urgently about it.


    First of all, she needed to take some more days off work, and secondly, she needed to see a psychiatrist.


    That was Liu Longwei''s conclusion.


    Chen Lihua sighed and replied, "I''m fine."


    "How can you be fine when you have been lost in thought for over ten minutes?" Liu Longwei asked with creased brows.


    Right now, he didn''t know what to do with her. She kept saying she was fine when it was obvious that she was not, and that was really getting to his head.


    "Fine, I am not okay! I have been seeing images of what transpired tonight once my brain is not busy. What do you want me to do? I can''t get those ugly pictures out of my head. I have tried not to think about it, I have been fighting not to think about it, but is it my fault that I can''t?!" Chen Lihua half-shouted angrily.


    She and Liu Longwei stared at each other for a few seconds.


    Liu Longwei was shocked by her outburst. He never expected her to react that way.


    It looked like she is angry and frustrated about her situation.


    Chen Lihua ran her hands through her hair, she blinked her eyes and said to Liu Longwei in a calm voice.


    "Darling, I am sorry for shouting at you, I am really sorry. I just can''t get a hold of myself, and I am angry about it."


    Liu Longwei sighed as he stared at her. He understood her situation clearly, and nobody would be comfortable in that kind of situation. So, he hugged her and assured her with some words.


    "It''s okay, I understand. Everything will be just fine. I will get you help by tomorrow."


    "What kind of help?" Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "Don''t worry, you will see," Liu Longwei replied. But he was not sure if she would be happy with it.


    "I''m fine now. You can leave. I need to take a shower now," Chen Lihua said as she left his embrace.


    "No, I am not going anywhere. I will sit here and watch you take your bath," Liu Longwei said in a serious tone. He just couldn''t take chances now, not that she was not in the right frame of mind.


    But if only Chen Lihua knew that Liu Longwei thought of her, and he was already seeing her as a crazy person. She would have pushed him out of the bathroom a long time ago.


    "You know that''s weird right?!" Chen Lihua asked with a smile.


    "There is nothing weird about a husband watching his own wife while she takes her bath," Liu Longwei retorted.


    Chen Lihua gazed at him for a while, and when she sensed that he wasn''t ready to give in to her, she let him be.


    At least, he couldn''t touch her even if he could see her, not after what she has been through tonight.


    That was the only assurance Chen Lihua had, and that was the reason she gave in because she knew he couldn''t do anything to her at the moment.


    Liu Longwei sat down on the padded stainless tool Chen Lihua normally sat to apply a face mask to her face.


    Chen Lihua quickly pulled off her clothes before stepping into the shower that had a transparent glass for a cover.


    Chen Lihua became lost in thought again as the water from the showerhead rinsed off her body.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know she was lost in thought again, because this time around, she was rubbing her body with her hands as the water from the showerhead poured on her.


    And because the steam from the water covered the glass, Liu Longwei couldn''t see her clearly.


    He only knew that something was wrong when the water started pouring over-head, and she didn''t do anything.


    Chen Lihua was still carrying her hair in a beautiful and simple updo so, why would she want to wash her hair now? And even if she wanted to wash her hair, she would have at least removed the pins used to style it.


    What kind of a normal human being in his/her correct senses would do that?


    Liu Longwei immediately rushed into the shower and turned it off.


    Chen Lihua wiped the water on her face off with her palms as she asked in an angry tone.


    "What do you think you are doing?"


    "I should be asking you that!" Liu Longwei retorted as he placed her small bath towel on her head and helped to rub her hair with it.


    His actions seemed to bring her back to her senses. And it was just now that she discovered what she did.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know what to say, so she was quiet and allowed Liu Longwei to continue rubbing her hair.

 Chapter 338 - Being ignored

    His actions seemed to bring her back to her senses. And it was just now that she discovered what she did.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know what to say, so she was quiet and allowed Liu Longwei to continue rubbing her hair.


    Liu Longwei picked up another towel to dry her hair with it before drying her body and wrapping her in a bathrobe.


    Next, he held her hand and pulled her out of the shower. He made her sit on the stool before using a hand dryer to dry her hair,


    Because her hair was very long and had a full volume, it took almost thirty minutes to dry it all up.


    After drying her hair, Liu Longwei packed her hair in a simple ponytail.


    Chen Lihua just sat quietly and watched his actions from the mirror. Surprisingly enough, she didn''t get lost in thought like the last time.


    When Liu Longwei was done, He guided her into the walk-in-closet and picked up a nightdress for her.


    "I can take it from here," Chen Lihua said as she took the dress from his hands.


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything to her. He allowed her to take the dress and walked into the bathroom without saying anything or looking at her.


    This action of his left Chen Lihua in a dilemma. She began to think if she annoyed him. And if she did make him annoy, she was wondering when, where, and how she did it. Because right now, she couldn''t remember anything.


    Chen Lihua changed into her nightdress as many thoughts ran through her head. She was thinking of what Liu Longwei was angry about and how she would apologize.


    Now when her thoughts were filled with Liu Longwei, her mind didn''t wander to the scene about the assassins, and that was Liu Longwei''s aim.


    He knew she would be lost in thought, thinking about those ugly scenes if he left her alone. So he purposely acted in that manner to distract her, to make her think about him instead of other irrelevant things. And he succeeded in achieving his objectives.


    Chen Lihua was wearing her outer robe when Liu Longwei walked in with a bathrobe wrapped around his body.


    Chen Lihua was surprised to see him out of the bathroom so soon.


    Well, Liu Longwei didn''t want to waste time just in case his plan failed. But when he came into the room, he sighted his wife from his peripheral view, dressed in her nightdress.


    He smiled to himself because his plans worked. But he pretended to be angry with her by avoiding eye contact with her, and by not saying anything to her.


    Chen Lihua felt so troubled as she watched him wear his night trousers and a robe.


    "Lon... Darling, are you angry with me?" Chen Lihua managed to ask after much contemplation.


    The silence was killing her, and she felt so uncomfortable with it, so she had to do something about it.


    Just now, she wanted to call him by his name, but she changed her mind because, she felt that she had offended him, and for her to get him to talk to her again, she had to use a sweet name to soften his stance.


    Liu Longwei continued to ignore her. If someone said something to him now, he didn''t hear it.


    "Darling, are you ignoring me now?" Chen Lihua asked, not sure about the situation.


    Liu Longwei ignored her again.


    Being ignored in this type of mental state she was in made her have a burning feeling in her chest. It felt as if her heart got broken, and everyone around her has forsaken her.


    "Even you are ignoring me too," Chen Lihua said in a low voice as she stared at his back.


    Still not getting a reaction from him, her eyes became misty, and she turned around and walked away.


    Before Liu Longwei could turn around and say something to her, she had already left and closed the door behind her.


    Liu Longwei sighed deeply as he looked at himself in the mirror.


    Her actions made him think that he had gone too far, so he left the walk-in-closet in search of her.


    When he came into their bedroom, he didn''t see her there, so he became worried and was about leaving the room when her phone rang. So he took out her phone from her bag and checked the caller ID.


    Seeing it was Lady Chen, Liu Longwei answered the call immediately.


    Thinking it was her daughter that answered the call, Lady Chen called out to her in a worried voice.


    "Hua''er, my baby, how are you? I heard what happened tonight. Are you okay, are you hurt anywhere?"


    "Mother, it''s me," Liu Longwei cut her off before she could go any further with her questions.


    "Longwei, my child, how are you? How is Lihua? Is she there with you?" Lady Chen asked worriedly.


    Madam Liu, her best friend, phoned her and filled her in on the details of what happened. She felt so scared when she learned of what could have happened to her daughter, so she called immediately.


    She knew that her daughter has never experienced anything like this before, so she knew that tonight''s experience would leave her traumatized.


    "Mum, Lihua is fine, everything is fine," Liu Longwei said as he went on to describe how the incident happened and what transpired after that.


    "So mum, don''t worry, Lihua is fine. I will get a doctor for her," Liu Longwei assured her.


    Lady Chen understood the kind of daughter he was talking about. So, she asked worriedly, "Do you think she would accept that because she is very stubborn?"


    "She wouldn''t like that idea, but that is the fastest way for her to recover," Liu Longwei said.


    "Okay. Take care of her. Her father and I will come to see her tomorrow. Goodnight," Lady Chen said.


    "Good night," Liu Longwei replied.


    After the conversation came to an end, Liu Longwei immediately went in search of his wife.

 Chapter 339 - A childish Boss

    After the conversation came to an end, Liu Longwei immediately went in search of his wife.


    Liu Longwei went into Chen Lihua''s bedroom to look for her. The room was dark, with no ray of light, so he switched on the light and saw a little figure sitting in a corner.


    The way she squeezed herself with her head lowered made her look vulnerable.


    Liu Longwei felt so guilty when he saw like that, plus her whimpering voice. So he approached her step by step.


    "Sweetheart, I''m so sorry," he apologized as he knelt beside her.


    Chen Lihua continued to whimper in a muffled voice, not even attempting to lift her head.


    Liu Longwei tried to lift her face gently, but she wouldn''t budge, so he lifted her arms that were supporting her head, and then he was able to see her red eyes and teary face.


    "Do you not like me anymore? Am I giving you a lot of trouble? Are you tired of me?" Chen Lihua asked one question after the other in a hoarse voice.


    "Baby, what are you saying? You are hurting me by talking like these. I love you so much that I feel a greater pain than you whenever you are hurt," Liu Longwei said as he wiped her tears, but more kept rolling down from her eyes.


    Chen Lihua stared into his eyes as if trying to see if he really meant what he said. She sniffed and asked, "Do you mean what you say?"


    "Of course, I would never lie about my feelings. I have never loved someone so much like the way I love you," Liu Longwei confessed as he stared back at her black pupils.


    Chen Lihua sniffed and continued staring at him in wonder. Seeing her look, Liu Longwei sighed as he hugged her with one arm, while the other patted her hair gently.


    "Sweetheart, I''m sorry for hurting you. But I acted that way for your own good. I didn''t want you thinking about what happened, so I decided to give you something else to worry about in other to get your mind off them. I am sorry," Liu Longwei explained and apologized.


    "Thank you~," Chen Lihua said in a soft tone as she hugged him back.


    She didn''t know he was being considerate. Earlier, she thought he was tired of her and probably didn''t like her anymore. So, she felt that her world had come crashing down.


    But after hearing his reasons, her heart felt at ease, and she became happy.


    Liu Longwei helped her up. "Come, let''s get you cleaned up."


    As he led her into her bathroom, he told her about their (his/her) mothers'' call.


    After washing and cleaning her face, Liu Longwei applied some moisturizer on her face before leading her downstairs to have dinner.


    At the dining table, Chen Lihua sat beside Liu Longwei and watched him eat.


    "Ahhh!" Liu Longwei motioned for her to open her mouth and eat the food he was giving to her, but she turned her face away.


    "I''m not hungry."


    "Sweetheart, just have a bite, please..." Liu Longwei pleaded.


    Chen Lihua turned her face to stare at him. She glanced at the spoon with food in it and back at Liu Longwei, who had a doting smile on his face.


    She reluctantly opened her mouth, and Liu Longwei sent the food into her mouth.


    "Good girl," he complimented satisfactorily.


    Chen Lihua frowned at him as she chewed on her food. She desperately wanted to tell him that she wasn''t a girl but a woman, but first, she needed to swallow whatever that was in her mouth before she could talk.


    Liu Longwei put some food in his mouth and chewed on it. When he saw her swallowing her food, he smiled as he picked up the spoon with some food in it.


    Then when Chen Lihua opened her mouth to speak, he immediately sent the food to her mouth.


    Chen Lihua was taken by surprise. She was about rebuking him for calling her a girl, yet he sent another spoon of food into her mouth.


    Chen Lihua chewed on the food while giving off an angry look.


    Liu Longwei pretended not to know what was happening but deep down his heart; he was very happy seeing his wife with that grumpy look. So he repeated his actions a few times.


    When Chen Lihua learned his moves, she decided not to open her mouth again. But she still fell under his trap again and again.


    For example, now, Liu Longwei held a spoonful of food to her mouth while trying to act cute.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t help laughing. He looked so funny.


    Liu Longwei used that opportunity to send the food into her mouth. He didn''t care about what he looked like; as long as his motives worked, then he didn''t give a damn at all.


    Chen Lihua continued smiling as she chewed on the food.


    Having swallowed the food, Chen Lihua said to him as she laughed, "You looked so funny earlier. Do your employees know that their Boss could be so childish? Please don''t try that in public. How many people have seen you with that look?"


    "You are the only one," Liu Longwei replied as he sent another spoonful of food into her mouth.


    Chen Lihua ate the food with a face full of smiles as she stared at him.


    When Liu Longwei brought the spoon to her mouth again, she refused to open her mouth.


    She leaned away from him for fear that he would send the food into her mouth as she talked.


    "Do you take me for a fool? I''m not eating anymore."


    "But you''ve been doing just fine. If you weren''t hungry, you wouldn''t have eaten this much," Liu Longwei said as he put his hand down.


    "Is that what you think? Well, I am not eating anymore," Chen Lihua declared as she sat properly before turning her face away from him.


    Liu Longwei was speechless at her actions. ''Did his words provoke her?'' he thought.

 Chapter 340 - Tricked

    Liu Longwei was speechless at her actions. ''Did his words provoke her?'' he thought.


    He tried to please her by calling her sweet names, but nothing he said made her turn her face towards him.


    "Okay, Baby, what do you want me to do so you can eat the food?" Liu Longwei tried negotiating with her.


    With her face still turned away from him, and a smile on her face, Chen Lihua asked, "Will you do anything I ask you to do?"


    "Yes," hearing her voice, Liu Longwei said in agreement.


    "Anything?!" Chen Lihua asked, trying to confirm that he wouldn''t go back on his words.


    "Anything!" Liu Longwei confirmed as he raised the spoon once again.


    "Okay, I want you to beg me to eat with that playful look on your face just like earlier," Chen Lihua said.


    "That''s all?" Liu Longwei asked in surprise. He thought that she would have asked him to do something difficult, but she only asked for that? Well, that is very simple.


    "Yes, that''s all." Chen Lihua said.


    "Okay," Liu Longwei agreed.


    "I''m going to turn around now, so do not try to play any tricks on me. Otherwise, I will be angry, understood!" Chen Lihua said. She was scared that Liu Longwei would trick her, thereby messing up her plans.


    "Understood!" Liu Longwei replied, not having any trick up his sleeves.


    When Chen Lihua turned around, she saw him holding up the spoon, but she said, "Hold on" and stretched her hand to take his phone that was on the table.


    "Unlock!" She commanded.


    Liu Longwei put the spoon down and used his finger to unlock the phone because the phone required his fingerprint to open.


    "What are you up to?" he asked, not understanding her motives.


    "You will see in a bit," Chen Lihua replied with a devilish look on her face as she turned on the camera in his phone.


    "Alright, you can start now," she said.


    Seeing her raise the phone with its flashlight on, Liu Longwei knew what she was up to.


    "Are you serious right now?" he asked with a frown.


    "Of course, and I''ve always been serious," Chen Lihua retorted as she motioned for him to start.


    Liu Longwei gave her a hard stare before proceeding with the task given to him.


    Chen Lihua saw the butler passing by, so she called him and passed the phone to him, asking him to record them, which he did obediently.


    The old butler tried as much as possible not to laugh as he watched his Master act cute while trying to get his wife to eat.


    Chen Lihua opened her mouth to eat the food happily. She even made sounds as she ate with her eyes closed, showing that this particular one she ate was tastier than the others Liu Longwei fed her.


    "You look so happy, you must be having a lot of fun," Liu Longwei commented with a little annoyance in his voice as Chen Lihua laughed hard at him.


    "Yes, I''m having a lot of fun, go ahead," Chen Lihua retorted.


    The old butler tried to hold his laugh inside as he watched his Master having a hard time.


    "Are you laughing at me?" Liu Longwei turned to the butler and asked sharply.


    The butler lowered his head in fright.


    Chen Lihua smiled and asked the butler for the phone before asking him to leave.


    She saved the video and continued holding onto the phone.


    "Can I have my phone now?" Liu Longwei requested, but Chen Lihua waved her finger at him in denial.


    She stood up from her seat, pecked his cheek. Then she walked away, leaving these words behind.


    "Goodnight, husband~ and thanks for the wonderful moment at the dinner table."


    Liu Longwei was left speechless as he watched her leave.


    He couldn''t believe he was tricked by her.


    He got up immediately to follow her, but it was too late. He couldn''t take the elevator because it was in use, so he took the stairs because he was impatient.


    Chen Lihua had that embarrassing video of him, and he didn''t know what she would do with it. So, he had to chase after her before she does something disastrous to his golden image.


    When Liu Longwei got to his bedroom, he didn''t see anyone in sight. He looked around the room for his phone and saw it on the table that was in the middle of the room, so he walked to it and picked up the phone.


    He opened his phone and searched for the video, and when he found it, he deleted it immediately.


    Chen Lihua, who had finished brushing her teeth, came out from the washroom to see Liu Longwei with his phone, so she immediately rushed to him at lightning speed.


    She snatched the phone from him and checked from the video, but she couldn''t find it.


    "What have you done?!" she asked as she continued searching from the video.


    Liu Longwei stood by the side with folded arms and watched her stare at his phone with a frantic look on her face.


    "I did the right thing?"


    "By getting rid of the video?" Chen Lihua inquired in anger.


    "Mmmmh!" Liu Longwei hummed in response.


    Chen Lihua''s countenance changed from a look of anger to a sad one. And before you know it, tears started to drop from her eyes.


    "Heh! Sweetheart, why are you crying again?" Liu Longwei asked in shock as he cupped her cheeks.


    Did he get himself a cry baby for a wife?


    "You just got rid of something that managed to make me happy," Chen Lihua replied in a muffled voice.


    "Sweetheart, I couldn''t risk my image," Liu Longwei explained.


    "You couldn''t risk your image over my happiness?" Chen Lihua retorted as she stared into his eyes.


    Liu Longwei was speechless. When did he say something like that? How come he didn''t know about it?


    "Sweetheart, I didn''t mean that. I will not jeopardize your happiness," Liu Longwei clarified.


    "But you just did," Chen Lihua said with a teary face.


    "Alright, I''m sorry, okay? I will take you shopping tomorrow," Liu Longwei said to her as he cleaned her tear-stained cheeks.


    "Really?" Chen Lihua asked with a brightened look.


    "Yes. Now it''s time to sleep, let''s go to bed," Liu Longwei said as he led her to the bed.


    He helped to cover her with the duvet. Then, he switched off the room lights before going off to his side to lie down.


    Next, he turned off the lamps on the nightstand before hugging his wife.


    ''Oh Longwei, only if you know that you''ve been tricked,'' Chen Lihua said to herself with a smile, before closing her eyes to sleep.

 Chapter 341 - A unique method of helping her sleep

    The next morning, Chen Lihua woke up first. She slowly opened her eyes before stretching forth her hands, in the process revealing the n.a.k.e.d skin of her shoulder as the duvet slid off her body.


    Liu Longwei felt her movement, so he opened his eyes, and was met with the snow white skin of his wife''s back.


    He smiled and hugged her, making his n.a.k.e.d upper muscular body clasp together with her smooth fair back.


    He nuzzled her neck as he greeted her in a low husky voice, "Good morning, did you have a good night rest?."


    Chen Lihua felt tickled by his actions, so she tried pushing his head away with her hand as she replied uncomfortably, "God morning. My night was great, thanks to you."


    "I''m glad i made you forget all your worries last night." Liu Longwei replied, refusing to take his face off her neck. Nuzzling was not enough for him now, so he started to smooch around her neck, shoulders and back.


    "Longwei...." Chen Lihua called out in a soft tone as she turned to face him.


    Liu Longwei stared at her in a smile, then he slowly moved his sight from her face to her neck, and from her neck to her n.a.k.e.d chest. The he stretched forth his hand to grab one of her b.r.e.a.s.t, but Chen Lihua covered her chest with the duvet.


    "What are you trying to do?." Chen Lihua asked in a shy smile.


    "Do you." Liu Longwei replied in a seductive voice as he climbed on top of her.


    "Longwei stopppppp." Chen Lihua cried out as she tried to dodge him, but failed in the process.


    "What should i stop exactly?." Liu Longwei asked as a smirk turned up on his face. He kissed her cheeks and made a go for her lips, but Chen Lihua quickly turned her face away.


    "Longwei you''ve got to stop, I haven''t brushed my teeth yet." Chen Lihua said in a frown.


    She wasn''t pleased with his actions at all.


    "Who cares?." Liu Longwei asked as he kissed the middle of her chest.


    "I care." Chen Lihua replied as she finally pushed him away.


    She sat up on the bed with her back facing him, and her feet on the ground. Then she picked up her night dress from the floor, and put it on.


    Liu Longwei watched her with a smile as she ventured into the washroom.


    Liu Longwei didn''t waste time at all, he stood up from the bed and walked into the washroom in only his pyjamas trousers.


    Last night, Chen Lihua couldn''t sleep properly. In between her sleep, she kept mumbling some incoherent words and was rolling on the bed.


    When Liu Longwei came back into the room after he left to the study to do some work, that was the scene he saw. So he quickly went to lie beside her and and brought her into his arms, but that wasn''t enough.


    He was almost fidgeting, and didn''t know how to calm her down, so he called her name as he shook her gently, but she didn''t respond, so he had to sit her up and continued to shake her gently until she opened her eyes.


    "Sweetheart, are you alright?."


    Chen Lihua shook her head as she replied weakly, "I keep seeing those images. I am tired, and want to get them off my head."


    "Don''t worry soon enough, you will won''t see them anymore. Now, get some sleep." Liu Longwei reassured her as he helped her to lie on the bed.


    "I am scared of closing my eyes." Chen Lihua replied as she stared into his eyes.


    Although there was no light in the room, they could still see themselves with the help of the moonlight.


    "I will help you." Liu Longwei promised. Then he sat up on the bed and began to unbutton his shirt as Chen Lihua watched him.


    After removing his shirt, he stretched forth his hand towards Chen Lihua and tried to remove her night dress, but she evaded him.


    With her hand clasped tightly unto the chest area of her dress, she asked in surprise, "What are you trying to do?."


    "Relax, I am trying to help you." Liu Longwei assured her in a calm voice as he watched her movements.


    ''Relax?.'' Chen Lihua asked herself as she watched him like a predator. She didn''t trust him at all.


    What kind of help was he trying to offer by removing her dress, and how on earth was she supposed to relax?.


    Liu Longwei caught those eyes staring at him like a hawk, so he explained to her immediately.


    "I can assure you that whatever that is going on on your head is not what I''m trying to do."


    How could he not understand the meaning behind that stare?. He knows his woman very well, and knew that she must have misunderstood him.


    Chen Lihua continued staring at him in doubt, she didn''t trust him at all.


    Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Liu Longwei placed a hand on her shoulder and stared into her eyes deeply as he said with sincerity in his voice.


    "I get that you don''t trust me, but i want you to know one thing about me. I will never hurt you, no matter what. I thought that you would feel at ease if we sleep n.a.k.e.d, when our skin comes in contact with each other. That way, you will know that I''m with you."


    Chen Lihua was lost in thought as she was dwelling on his words. She didn''t know if what he said was true, so she thought of the possibility about it being true.


    ''What a unique way of helping her to sleep. Well, there is no harm in trying.'' She said to herself before looking back at him.


    "No s*x, i promise." Liu Longwei assured her.


    Chen Lihua then slowly let go off her dress as she submitted her body to him.


    Liu Longwei took off her dress before making her lie down with her back against his chest. Then slowly, he caressed the middle of her chest.


    "Longwei!." Chen Lihua called out in fright.


    ''Didn''t someone say no s*x, then what is this all about?.'' She thought.


    "Relax i know what I''m doing, i won''t go far." Liu Longwei said.


    "Okay, but don''t arouse me." Chen Lihua said in a serious tone.


    "Wow! I''m surprised that you can still be in the mood to be aroused." Liu Longwei said as he chuckled in a low voice.


    "Longwei, I''m being serious here." Chen Lihua said, not finding his words funny.


    "Okay, I''m sorry." Liu Longwei stopped laughing and apologized before kissing her neck and back.


    His comfort made Chen Lihua sleep off, and this time around with him by her side, she had no troubles sleeping, because he would immediately comfort her wants she starts having nightmares.

 Chapter 342 - What kind of Doctor?

    An two hour after breakfast, Chen Lihua was seen reading a medical book in the garden terrace. Two female servants were sitting somewhere close to her, just in case she needed something urgently, they can attend to it immediately.


    Chen Lihua adjusted her reading glasses on the bridge of her nose. With one hand, she lifted a glass on orange juice to her lips. After taking a few sips, she put the glass down before going back to holding the book with both hands.


    Chen Lihua looked like a beautiful Angel with the free white dress on her body that was floating, and her sitting posture. What a beautiful sight to behold!.


    A female servant walked in in light footsteps, afraid to disturb her reading.


    "Ma''am, Sir asked you to come and change your clothes as your parents will be arriving any moment from now."


    Chen Lihua closed the book she was reading, and with the other hand, she took the glasses off her eyes. Then she glanced at the servant who came to give the instructions.


    She sighed, stood up and walked away with her glasses and book in hand.


    The look Chen Lihua gave the servant frightened her, she almost knelt down to apologize for interrupting her, but Chen Lihua walked away, so the servant sighed in relief before helping the other two servants to clean up the area.


    "Darling which one should i wear from these two dresses?." Chen Lihua asked as she touched the two dresses.


    In the dressing room, Liu Longwei glanced at the dresses in her hands and asked, "Both dresses are white in color, what is the difference?."


    "Obviously, there is a difference, because it''s not possible for me to buy two dresses of the same color and style, so pick help me pick one." Chen Lihua said.


    After staring at the dresses for a few seconds, Liu Longwei said while pointing to the one at her right, "Wear that one, it looks more comfortable."


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said in a smile as she hanged the other dress back in the wardrobe. Then she quickly put on the other one while Liu Longwei sat in the bedroom, waiting for her.


    "Our parents are here." Liu Longwei said to her immediately she walked into the room.


    "Our parents?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise. Liu Longwei only told her that her parents would be visiting today, he didn''t mention anything about his family visiting.


    But that''s not a problem. Yesterday, her mother-in-law was so worried about her, and wanted her to spend the night at their house, but she declined.


    "Let''s go." Liu Longwei said as he took her hand.


    Hand in hand, they two made their way downstairs to see their parents talking with smiles on their face.


    But when they sighted them, all eyes were directed at her in worry.


    "My child, how are you?." Lady Chen who was looking younger than before asked as she walked up to her daughter and asked while holding her hands.


    "Mum, I''m fine, let''s sit." Chen Lihua said as she led her to the couch.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei exchanged greetings with their parents, before they started discussing on what transpired last night.


    The young husband and wife gave their parents every bit of the details.


    "Father, from the investigations conducted on the assassins, the culprit behind them is someone from your company, In fact, he is the fourth largest shareholder in your company." Liu Longwei said to Chen K.


    Everyone of them in the room was shocked, including Chen Lihua.


    "The culprit is from Dad''s company?." She asked in shock, and Liu Longwei nodded in response, confirming her doubts.


    "Are you sure of what you said?." Chen K asked,looking not too surprised, as if he had been suspecting that person for a long time.


    "Yes father, I''m very sure. I have most of the evidences of his dealings this past few years in my custody." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.


    Lady Chen and Chen K gave each other a look with a deep meaning. When Liu Longwei mentioned something about the fourth largest shareholder of their company being the perpetrator, they gave each other the same look.


    They two seemed to know the person very well, and were surprised to hear that he was the one behind the incident.


    "Can i see this evidence?." Chen K requested.


    "Of course." Liu Longwei replied and stood up to leave.


    "Mum, Dad, do you know who that person is?." Chen Lihua asked her parents.


    "Yes, we know him. He is a good friend of your Dad''s." Lady Chen replied tiredly.


    The two pairs of parents, talked about the matter for a while, until Liu Longwei came back with a sealed brown envelope.


    He passed the envelope to Chen K, who took the envelope and kept it on the couch beside him.


    "Dad won''t you take a look at it?." Chen Lihua inquired curiously. She was expecting her father to open the envelope immediately he received, and check the content, but he did contrarily to her expectations.


    "No my dear, I will do that when I get home." Chen K replied his daughter in a calm tone.


    He was scared to check the contents of that envelope, because it will change his life. He was being a coward now, and he knew it.


    For now, he just wanted to live in ignorance.


    "Lihua my child, how are you now?." Madam Liu asked Chen Lihua in a smile, immediately changing the subject.


    "I''m fine mother, i feel a lot better." Chen Lihua lied smoothly.


    She has been spacing out since yesterday, and even this morning while reading. Once she was not engaged in any conversation, she would immediately start spacing out.


    Just then, the butler walked in and whispered to Liu Longwei''s ears.


    "Master, Dr. Li is here already, she is waiting in the ante room."


    "You can invite her in." Liu Longwei said in an audible voice.


    "Darling, who is that?." Chen Lihua asked in an eager tone. If they were expecting more visitors, then literally she had no idea about that.


    "I invited a doctor over to see you." Liu Longwei answered after exchanging glances with Lady Chen. He was a bit tensed, for he didn''t know how she would react at the type of Doctor he got for her.


    Chen Lihua''s interest was pricked, so she asked, "What kind of Doctor?."


    Just then, a woman in her late fifties walked in. She smiled, and greeted them as she introduced herself to Chen Lihua, replying to her question in the process.


    "I am Dr Li, a psychiatrist at the First City Hospital."

 Chapter 343 - You think Im crazy?

    Just then, a woman in her late fifties walked in. She smiled, and greeted them as she introduced herself to Chen Lihua, replying to her question in the process.


    "I am Dr Li, a psychiatrist at the First City Hospital."


    Hearing the doctor introduce herself as a psychiatrist, Chen Lihua immediately glanced at Liu Longwei in surprise, as if to ask what a psychiatrist was doing in their house.


    "Swetheart, Dr. Li will help you solve the psychological trauma you have." Liu Longwei said to her in a peaceable manner. But who knew that Chen Lihua was not in the mood to care about his manner of approach.


    "You think I''m crazy?." Chen Lihua asked, flaring up in the process.


    "Sweetheart, I didn''t say that. I only want you to see Dr Lin because you need help." Liu Longwei said.


    "I need help, in what way actually?!." Chen Lihua asked angrily as she stood to her feet.


    "Hua''er dear" Lady Chen called out in a worried voice. "Just listen to your husband." She continued.


    "I should listen him? He thinks I''m crazy, and you want me to listen to him?." Chen Lihua asked angrily. She was really pissed off now. She can''t believe that her husband thinks she is crazy only because she has been spacing out and putting things in the wrong order.


    The butler immediately brought Dr Li out of the room, on seeing that things wasn''t going so well.


    Madam Liu saw that things were getting out of hand, so she intervened.


    "Lihua dear, Longwei is not saying that you are crazy, we all don''t think you can crazy. We just want you to have a conversation with the psychiatrist for her to be able to fix your trauma, that''s all. Nobody is locking you away in the hospital, or giving you any drugs or injections."


    "Mother, why do i feel that i would really be locked up somewhere away from the sunlight and people?." Chen Lihua asked, not trusting any of them.


    Liu Longwei who had been sitting, and quiet for a while now, stood up to speak.


    "Sweetheart, you are not crazy, and even if you were to go crazy one day, I would never lock you up. Dr. Li is here just to have a conversation with you, and find a solution to your problem. You will not go to the hospital, she would come here to see you if there is a need, so you can relax."


    Chen Lihua turned to face him with teary eyes. "I don''t trust any of you."


    After saying her piece, she ran away in tears.


    Liu Longwei was about to chase after her, but Lady Chen stopped him.


    "Longwei let her be. She will not listen to any of us now."


    Liu Longwei glanced at Lady Chen before looking at the direction Chen Lihua ran to in worry.


    "Ju Ju why does Lihua seem so scared of seeing a psychiatrist?." Madam Liu asked. From what she observed now, her daughter-in-law was scared of seeing the doctor even though they told her nobody would lock her away, she still didn''t believe them.


    Lady Chen sighed as she adjusted herself on the couch. "Lihua was scarred by an incident when she was a teenager, just before she traveled out. She had a best friend who went crazy because of a psychological trauma. So when we went to visit her in the psychiatric hospital, we saw her locked up in a little cell. Her hands and feet were chained, the teenage girl looked so quiet and we were wondering why they would lock up an innocent child like that, and even advice us not to get close to her. But what happened next made us to understand."


    "What happened?." Liu Huang who has been quiet all these while, asked with interest.


    Lady Chen sighed and continued, "When the girl saw Lihua, she called out to her to come and save her. She pleaded with Lihua, saying that ''they wanted to kill her after killing her parents''. So Lihua forgetting the warning that was given to us by the doctors, immediately ran towards her friend. By the time we noticed it, it was too late to stop her, so we could only stand and watch. When Lihua got to her side, both of them started crying. Lihua wiped her friend''s tears away while assuring her that she would help her. Before we knew it, the girl started laughing, and her countenance changed. Then she bit Lihua''s hand and struggled to release her hands from the chain, but since she couldn''t, she became more violent, and struggled more to release her hands and feets. When Chen Lihua cried out, we and the doctors immediately ran to save her".


    "After we saved Lihua, the back of her hand was bleeding, and we could also see the marks left by the girl''s teeth. Lihua stared at her best friend with a shocked filled face as tears flowed from her eyes."


    As Chen Lihua cried, her friend struggled to get away from the doctors while screaming, "I will kill anyone who touches me! I will kill all of you! You don''t deserve to live! I will kill all of you!."


    The next moment after she was sedated, she started crying softly as she watched Chen Lihua leave her prison without looking back. Then she muttered in an inaudible voice, "Lihua...Lihua plea....se come back, I''m so sorry. Plea.....se come come back."


    "Since then, Chen Lihua has been traumatized by the event. We thought she thought she got over that incident, but seeing her react like this today, her actions says otherwise." Lady Chen said as Chen K squeezed her hand gently.


    "This child has been through a lot. Did she ever go back to see her friend.?" Madam Liu inquired.


    "Yes she did, twice. Once before she traveled out, and then when she came back to the country. On the two occasions she visited, She saw her friend through the CCTV footage of the hospital, she didn''t want to see her friend face to face because she was scared she would be attacked like the last time." Lady Chen replied.

 Chapter 344 - Thinking of committing suicide

    "I never knew that such a thing happened to her, no wonder she reacted that way." Liu Hunag said.


    "Mother, what caused her friend to turn out that way?." Liu Longwei asked, for he knew that something big must have caused Lihua''s friend to be crazy.


    "Her father was murdered right in front of her, while she watched her mother being r.a.p.ed and shot thereafter." Lady Chen explained painfully.


    "What!." Madam Liu screamed in surprise.


    The thought of the pains that girl went through in her teenage years, caused them to feel for her.


    "I will go and check up on Lihua." Liu Longwei said and left their presence without waiting for a reply.


    He searched for Chen Lihua in her bedroom and his bedroom, but he couldn''t find her, so he became worried and asked the servants to search for her all over the house in case she was hiding somewhere.


    He even called her on phone, but in turned out that she left her phone in the sitting room where their parents were discussing.


    Liu Longwei didn''t want to alarm their parents, so he continued searching for her on his own. He left the house through another door, as he decided to look for her in the compound, and even ask his chief bodyguard to find her through the CCTV cameras.


    As he couldn''t shout her name so their parents wouldn''t find out that he was looking for her, he had to take a longer time searching for her.


    "Boss, Ma''am didn''t leave the house, she has been here all this while." AD reported to Liu Longwei.


    "Where is she?." Liu Longwei asked sharply.


    "On the rooftop." AD replied as he passed the tablet in his hand to him.


    Liu Longwei took the tablet from him as his gaze immediately moved to the screen. He saw Chen Lihua standing on the rooftop silently with folded arms.


    He couldn''t even tell what she was looking at, but that''s not the point. The point is that his wife who has acrophobia, and has never stood at the rooftop in daytime, was currently standing there, and even close to the point that if she wasn''t careful, a little slip could make her fall to her death.


    "Watch her."


    Liu Longwei immediately passed the tablet to AD, and left hurriedly after giving out the instruction.


    In less than two minutes, Liu Longwei was at the rooftop. And because of his hurried steps, Chen Lihua knew that someone was there, so she turned to see who was there.


    When she turned and saw that he was the one, she turned back to looking at the beautiful view at the rooftop without any change in her facial expression, completely ignoring her husband.


    "Sweetheart, I have been looking all over the house for you, what are you doing standing there, come over to this side, that place is dangerous." Liu Longwei said in a calm manner.


    He was shocked at this new version of his wife. His wife left crying, and within few minutes, she turned into an indifferent person. Can someone please tell him what was going on?.


    "Darling you know I''ve been thinking, ''What if I jump down from this place, will I die or will my bones be shattered?''." Chen Lihua asked in a mild tone without looking at him.


    "Baby what nonsense are you talking about? Why would you have those absurd thoughts? I know you are tired, please come to the room and rest." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone as he took careful steps towards her, but deep down his heart, he was very scared.


    Was his wife thinking of committing suicide?.


    Chen Lihua turned to look at him, thereby backing the beautiful view. And if not careful, a slip is all it would take, and she would be falling off the rooftop in no time.


    This action of hers caused Liu Longwei''s heart to drop. Even AD that was watching them from the tablet in his hands, was so scared. He immediately called the bodyguards for a backup plan, just in case their mistress truly wanted to jump off the rooftop.


    Liu Longwei stopped in his steps immediately, fearing that if he took another step, she would jump to her death.


    "But come to think of it, If I die, you will go ahead and get yourself another beautiful wife, so don''t worry, I''m not dying soon." Chen Lihua said as she took the remaining steps to him. She made sure to pat his right shoulder twice in a smile before walking past him.


    Liu Longwei sighed in relief and immediately went after her. He took the elevator with her, and walked to the sitting room to meet their parents.


    When Chen Lihua got to the sitting room, she put on an obedient look as she apologized to their parents.


    "There is no problem at all, we understand. But you must take care of yourself." Madam Liu spoke up in a kind smile, and Chen Lihua nodded in a smile.


    "Lihua, are you alright, do you need Longwei to take a walk with you at the garden?." Chen K asked worriedly.


    "Dad, I''m fine." Chen Lihua replied as she sat beside Liu Longwei.


    "What about the....doctor?." Lady Chen asked carefully.


    "I will see her after I see you off." Chen Lihua assured her.


    "Lihua take it easy, and be rest assured that you have us, and a lot other people who love you. If you want anything at all, you can meet any of us, we are family." Liu Huang advised.


    "Yes father. I''m sorry for causing you to worry." Chen Lihua apologized with a bow.


    "That''s not necessary at all. My daughters give me troubles most of the time, and you are like a daughter to me, so your conduct is acceptable." Liu Huang assured her in a smile.


    "Alright, we will leave now, so you can see the doctor and have plenty time to rest." Chen K said as he stood to his feet, helping his wife in the process.


    Madam Liu and her husband Liu Huang, stood up to leave as well.


    They hugged each other, before Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei walked them to the car.

 Chapter 345 - Dr. Li engages Chen Lihua in a conversation

    Back inside the house, Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand. He peered into her eyes before asking with lingering worry in his eyes.


    "Sweetheart, are you okay, do you need anything?."


    "I''m fine. I don''t need anything, but don''t forget you promised to take me for shopping today." Chen Lihua reminded him in a smile.


    "I know, i didn''t forget. Do you want any other thing?." Liu Longwei inquired further.


    "I have to go see the doctor now. If any idea comes to my mind, I will definitely let you know." Chen Lihua replied. She kissed his lips before walking away.


    Liu Longwei stared at her back worriedly. His wife''s behavior changed suddenly, and he was very worried that her condition has worsened instead of improving.


    Chen Lihua went to the garden terrace and saw the doctor already sitting there. The doctor had a smile on her face as she stood up with her hand stretched out. Chen Lihua smiled and shook the doctor''s hand as she introduced herself.


    "I am Chen Lihua, a Cardiothoracic surgeon at SUH. I''m sorry for the act i displayed earlier, I don''t have a thing for psychiatrist." Chen Lihua said in a smile as she took her seat.


    Dr. Li sat down and replied in a smile, "It''s alright, I can understand. So tell me, why don''t you like psychiatrist like me, do you think we are not normal, or you have a special dislike for us?."


    "No, it''s not the way you see it. I encountered something terrible when i was younger that made me hate the psychiatrist hospital and the doctors. It''s not something personal, but an encounter that put fear in me. So you can actually say that I''m scared of psychiatrists or the psychiatric hospitals rather than hating them." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Ok, so can you tell me what you encountered, maybe we can start from there?." Dr. Li asked.


    "I am sorry, but I am not ready to talk about it. Talking about it is like opening the old wounds that has already scarred." Chen Lihua rejected her.


    "There is no problem. Are you afraid of me now?." Dr. Li asked in a smile as she picked up a glass of water to drink.


    "I wouldn''t be having this conversation with you if i was still scared of you." Chen Lihua replied.


    Dr. Li dropped the glass of water on the table and stared at her, eyeball to eyeball.


    "You are lying. You are still scared of me, but you are trying to contain the fear, you are trying to keep it hidden. Actually you are not comfortable, but you are pretending to be." Dr. Li revealed and stared directly into her eyes as if it was a challenge for her to prove her words wrong.


    Chen Lihua shifted uncomfortably on her seat as the smile on her face faded when she heard the revelation.


    With a serious look on her face, she raised her hand, and the servants at the side left.


    Although Chen Lihua was backing the servants, she didn''t not to say a word, a sign was all that was needed for them to understand her unspoken words.


    After they servants footsteps became distant, Chen Lihua glanced at the doctor and asked, "I made sure to mask my appearance, but i was still unable to fool you. How did you know?."


    "I studied psychology, and I was the best graduating student in my set. Not only that, I am very good at my job, which means i can read your mind, and your body language." Dr. Li replied.


    Chen Lihua nodded as she added, "And you can also control me, which means you can make me crazy or even make me kill myself."


    Dr. Li gave a low laugh before she went further to explain. "I can do what you said, but not to you in this condition. Actually you are strong willed, and so I can not harm you even if I was evil. It''s only when you are so vulnerable and your mind is weak that someone can be able to control you. But right now, you just have a little unrest that can be fixed within two weeks. If you had a little more control on yourself, and I wasn''t good at my job, I may not be able to tell your thoughts."


    "Wow!." Chen Lihua exclaimed in admiration. "I am beginning to find an interest in psychology now. But too bad that I am too busy to give it much attention."


    "Can you read my husband''s mind?." Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "Mr Liu? No I can''t." Dr. Li replied in a low chuckle.


    "Why?." Chen Lihua inquired.


    Was it that hard to read her husband''s mind?.


    "Your husband can only be seen through only if he permits it. Apart from that, it''s basically useless thinking about it, talk more of getting the work done."


    "Wow!." Chen Lihua replied, a little stunned. She knew Longwei was not an ordinary person, but she didn''t know that he could be this extraordinary.


    "Mrs. Liu, can you tell me exactly what happened on that day, the day of the assassination attempt?." Dr. Liu asked suddenly.


    Chen Lihua had a serious expression on her face as she recounted what happened that day. She went ahead to answer the doctor''s questions without fidgeting. She talked as if she was telling a story.


    Right now, she wasn''t pretending to be alright. She only talked this way because she was comfortable. And that is to show you that Dr. Li did a good job in making her mind stable by engaging her in a conversation.


    "Your case is not difficult to handle, so you don''t have to worry. Two weeks if we give it our best, you will be better already." Dr Li assured her.


    "Thank you Doctor." Chen Lihua said gratefully.


    "No troubles. Alright lets''s begin." Dr. Li said and began her therapy.


    She explained some things about trauma to her, before going ahead to talk about her treatment plans.

 Chapter 346 - The root cause of her trauma

    She explained some things about trauma to her, before going ahead to talk about her treatment plans.


    No 1, Get Moving; Try doing rhythmic exercises for at least thirty minutes daily, while exercising, try to focus your mind on your body movements and the changes that occur while working out instead of focusing on your thoughts and trying hard to distract yourself.


    No 2, Don''t isolate yourself; Do not be alone, try to interact with other people. You can even choose to volunteer, participate in other activities, hang out with friends or join a club, just so you are not idle.


    No 3, Self regulate your nervous system; If you are feeling disturbed or upset, practice mindful breathing. Allow yourself to feel what you feel when you feel it, that is, acknowledge your feelings about the trauma when it comes.


    No 4, Take care of your health; Eat a well balanced diet, get away from stress, get enough sleep, and practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress. Don''t smoke, take alcohol, or drugs during this period.


    "So these are the basic treatment and methods you can do to overcome the trauma. But if it doesn''t work, then we will do it the professional way." Dr. Li said in a smile.


    "Ok, thank you doctor." Chen Lihua said gratefully.


    "No troubles at all, you paid me well enough to do a good job. Do you have any questions to ask?." Dr. Li inquired.


    "No questions for now. But if any comes up, I will contact you immediately." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Okay, then i will have to take my leave then." Dr. Li responded as she stood to her feet.


    Chen Lihua stood to her feet as well and stretched forth her right hand for a handshake.


    "Thank you, Dr. Li, see you when I see you."


    Dr. Li shook her hand. "Goodbye Mrs. Liu."


    Chen Lihua asked the butler to walk Dr. Li to her car as she sat back at the garden terrace sipping her water.


    "Sweetheart how do you feel now?." Liu Longwei asked as he came to sit opposite of her.


    "I am a lot better now." Chen Lihua replied as she put down the glass of water in her hand.


    "That''s good, we will leave by four, so take enough rest." Liu Longwei stood up before walking to her side and pulling her up from the seat.


    Chen Lihua allowed him to pull her up and hug her waist as they walked away. She understood what the time he talked about was for.


    "Darling, when do i have to get back to work, I am already bored out of my mind?." Chen Lihua inquired in a childish tone.


    "When there are signs of improvement. Don''t worry I will make sure to create activities that will keep you busy, and at the same time will not stress you out, or don''t you like spending time with me.?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Of course I love spending time with you. It''s just that i miss working at the hospital." Chen Lihua complained.


    "I promise you that once you show positive signs of improvement, you will get back to work. So for now, cherish your time with me because I''ll be traveling soon." Liu Longwei said to her.


    That same day, Chen Lihua started her treatment plans and in the evening, Liu Longwei took her out to have fun.


    Five days later when everyone thought that she was getting better, she had a second re-occurrence of the trauma. How did it happen?.


    Chen Lihua heard a gunshot in the compound. Immediately, she screamed and threw away the bottle of wine in her hand, just as she was about to pour a glass of wine for herself and hid herself under the table with her hands over her ears.


    Liu Longwei who was sitting opposite of her on the rooftop, immediately rushed towards her and lifted her up as he embraced her and called out to her.


    Chen Lihua wasn''t responding to him, but she held unto his arm tightly.


    "AD what happened?." Liu Longwei inquired in a serious tone as he led Chen Lihua to his bedroom. He had on an Airpod on, so he was able communicate with AD immediately the call was connected.


    (AD gave Liu Longwei a call after the gunshot).


    "Boss, there was a mysterious drone hovering around the compound inconspicuously, so i took it down. The drone is now under investigation, I will report our findings to you shortly." AD explained in a serious tone.


    "That''s fine, get to work immediately." Liu Longwei replied and cut off the communication. He led Chen Lihua to sit on the bed and tried to get a normal reaction from her.


    He tried to calm her down in so many ways, and it finally paid off after several minutes.


    After consoling her and getting her to stay calm after telling her the reason for the gunshot, he immediately phoned Dr. Li and explained what transpired and Chen Lihua''s reaction.


    "It seems like I''ve been treating her wrongly." Dr. Li commented after heaving a sigh.


    "What do you mean Dr?." Liu Longwei inquired in confusion.


    "Her true fear, and the reason for the trauma is mainly because of the sound from the gunshot. She is terrified of that sound, so the treatment plan has to deal with the root of her problem." Dr. Li said.


    "Let her continue with the treatment plans I gave to her, but for her to overcome the fear of gunshots in such a short time, she has to deal directly with it, she has to be comfortable with that sound, and for her to be comfortable with the sound, she has to be used to hearing it." Dr. Li replied.


    "I understand what you mean, I will immediately schedule a shooting class for her, thank you."


    After talking with Dr. Li, Liu Longwei went further to make a call to arrange shooting classes for his wife.


    "I''m going to learn how to shoot?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she sat up on the bed.


    Liu Longwei sat on the bed close to her and held unto her hands. "Yesyou are. I have arranged the class for you, and I''ll be with you through out your training period. This training will not only help you to overcome the trauma, but also train you to be able to protect yourself with a gun." Liu Longwei explained.

 Chapter 347 - A tough decision to make

    It''s a bright new day today, and Aunt Lin is not in a good mood. She is looking depressed, but what could be her problem?.


    "Mum you can''t leave the house in this state, maybe you should visit your brother some other time." Changying said worriedly.


    "No, I must see him today, and besides I''m fine." Aunt Lin insisted while wrapping a scarf around her neck.


    "Mum, you said you have a headache, and you''ve not been in good health for a few days now, just rest for today. Maybe some other time, when your health is alright, you can go and see him." Changying suggested in a worried voice.


    She can tell that her mother''s health wasn''t like the good old days. Something was definitely wrong somewhere, but what could it be?.


    Her mother doesn''t tell her anything, nor has she seen a doctor''s report of some sort.


    That reminds her, she might have to make a trip to go and see her cousin, and maybe she could be of help.


    Aunt Lin picked her bag from the bed and turned to leave her bedroom while saying, "Your cousin was nearly abducted few days ago, so i have to go and see my brother to find out what happened. I don''t even know why they are just letting me know about it now."


    Changying followed after her. "Mum, Lihua was the one abducted, so if you want to make a visit, you should go to see Lihua and not your brother."


    "You know Lihua and I are not in good terms, so I can''t go to see her." Aunt Lin reminded her daughter.


    "Mum since when did you start to care about what kind of relationship you two have, you have always done things your own way without a care, so why the sudden show of concern?." Changying asked her mother.


    "I''ve been having a lot of disagreements with Lihua almost her entire life. Right now, I don''t have so much energy and time left for that." Aunt Lin replied


    "I bet you still have a lot of time to look for trouble." Changying retorted.


    "Enough of that! I don''t have time to exchange words with you." Aunt Lin said in a heavy tone as her steps came to a halt, as she was starting to get annoyed with the argument.


    "I''m leaving now. Don''t be late for the meeting with the new investor." Aunt Lin reminded before walking away.


    Immediately Aunt Lin left the house, her daughter, Changying made a phone call to her father.


    She told him about her mother leaving the house despite not in good health, then she asked him to pick her up since she drove herself to the Chen Villa.


    An hour later, Aunt Lin was sitting on the couch in her brother''s house.


    "Lin what are you doing here, your daughter said your health has not been at it''s best these days, is that true?." Chen K asked his sister who looked worn out.


    "Don''t mind Changying, I''m fine. Let''s talk about you, how is Lihua, what happened that day?." Aunt Lin asked, immediately diverting the topic to the reason she came.


    Chen K went ahead to explain what happened and the investigations. And during this time, Lady Chen came into the sitting room, dressed in work suit. She looked like she just came back from a business meeting.


    She exchanged greeting with her sister-in-law before sitting beside her husband.


    During the time of the discussion, she also chipped in some words.


    Aunt Lin asked about Chen Lihua''s health and how she was faring after the incident. The she asked about the investigations, and that when she heard a shocking news.


    "Are you sure he is the one behind all of these?." Aunt Lin asked in shock.


    "Yes, he is the one. All the investigations and evidences points at him." Chen K confirmed in a disappointed voice and look.


    "How could he be so evil, he was your best friend, and you two were so close right from high school?." Aunt Lin exclaimed in shock.


    "I still can''t fathom why he did all these. I never did anything to betray him, I didn''t offend him either." Chen K said tiredly.


    "Even if you did something wrong, is that supposed to warrant him to do all these evil to you, once was not enough, so he tried again?." Lady Chen asked angrily.


    "What bout him? Where is he, is he in the police custody now?." Aunt Lin inquired.


    "Not yet." Chen K replied weakly.


    "Then what are you waiting for since you already have enough evidences to give him a death sentence? Do you want him to get rid of the whole family before you come back to your senses?." Aunt Lin asked in anger.


    Her brother already had enough evidences for a death sentence, so what was he waiting for? Did he want their whole lives to be put in jeopardy, and by then it would have been too late to do anything about it?.


    "That was the same question I asked him." Lady Chen added angrily.


    She too was not pleased with her husband. Her husband was refusing to take the bull by the horns, and it was really getting to her nerves.


    "This is someone that harmed you five years ago because he wanted you dead, and now he came for your daughter and you are sitting with your arms folded, not planning to do anything even after all the evidences were pointing towards him?." Lady Chen said, giving her husband an angry stare.


    "Brother what is wrong with you exactly, have you been bewitched?." Aunt Lin asked in a serious tone, not finding the situation funny.


    Chen K sighed before finally speaking up. "I''m disappointed that my best friend has been planning my downfall for years, and yet i still helped him in his times of troubles. I am truly hurt by all these events. It''s not like i don''t want to serve justice, but it''s that I don''t know how to do it, I am in a deep state of confusion."


    "Then you have to wake up!." Aunt Lin cut him off sharply.


    "Dear husband, since you don''t want to make the decision because he is your friend, then I will do it for you." Lady Chen said in a final statement before getting up to leave.


    So this particular matter came to an end after Lady Chen made the decision. Lady Chen exposed the person behind Chen K''s disappearance for five years, and also her daughter nearly being adopted.


    Although she didn''t reveal this particular news to the masses, but she gave evidences of his crimes of drug trafficking to the court and also evidences of money laundering. That was the only news that was exposed to the eyes of the public.


    As for the crime concerning her family, Lady Chen didn''t expose that to the media, only to the court.


    Chen Lihua finally got to know about the identity of the fourth largest shareholder of the Chen Group, and her father''s best friend from her mother.


    He was Mr. Gu, the person her mother mentioned on her wedding day that was supposed to walk her down the aisle.

 Chapter 348 - A patient Dog eats the fattest bone

    The month of December is the driest month in City B, with rainfall barely being experienced for two days and the rain gauge collecting only 2.5mm (0.1") on average throughout the entire month.


    The weather is cold and freezing, with temperatures falling as low as -15¡ãC (5¡ãF) at night. The lowest temperature averages -7¡ãC (19.4¡ãF), while the highest read 3¡ãC (37.4¡ãF) on average. With a low humidity of 25%, December marks one of the peak winter months but still sunny and bearable with the sun up for up to nine hours per day on average.


    Festivities and cultural events are held indoors, but a walk to view nature and watch the snow that occasionally comes is breathtaking. It makes a perfect time to go site seeing and visiting historical sites as crowds are minimal - most people leave for warmer cities to evade the cold.


    On this day in the month of December, a woman somewhere outside of City B and Country C is enraged. Although her face can''t be seen, the aura she was emitting was enough to tell how furious she was.


    A man with a hideous look reported something that enraged her.


    "When did this happen for you to inform me now?!." She asked sharply in a cold voice.


    "Few weeks ago." The man reported with his head lowered.


    "Did you say few weeks ago? Are you aware of how many hours there are in a week for you to use the word few on weeks? There is more than, three hundred and thirty-six plus (336+) hours from two weeks and above. So tell me, how few is this your weeks?!." The woman asked in an authoritative tone.


    The man was silent with his head bowed, not even attempting to say anything or move a muscle.


    "Oh! let me guess, you don''t even know. Fool!." The woman cursed angrily as she kicked the basket chair beside her.


    Now with her actions, a part of her face can be see. You can see from her side view that the makeup on her face was too thick. Probably, her face may not be recognizable if the makeup is wiped out from her face.


    The woman went back to her previous position, hiding her face away from the ray of light.


    "Look at me you scoundrel! You can''t even discipline your underlings, then what makes you a good leader with an example?."


    "What about that bastard that ruined my plans? Now he ruined my plans, Michael will keep a tight watch on his dearest wife, and any move we make after that, we will be like the unfortunate fishes, caught in his nest." The woman said before taking a sit. She crossed her legs and picked up a glass of wine from the side.


    "Mr. Gu has been taken care of by the other people." The man reported with his head raise.


    The other people he meant was the Chen Family.


    "What a foolish human. He couldn''t even do his job well, and instead got caught in the process. Now he is resting in prison, leaving us with a big headache to deal with his mess". The woman scoffed as she downed the half glass of wine at one go.


    The man immediately reached out to pour more wine for her before going back to stand in his previous position.


    The woman had plans to deal with Chen Lihua, but Mr. Gu came into the picture to abduct Chen Lihua, but his plans were foiled, and instead exposed him. Now with this incident, Liu Longwei will keep a tight watch on Chen Lihua, making it difficult for anyone to attack her. But if they insisted on attacking her, they would definitely fall into a laid up trap.


    The woman sighed as she took a sip from her wine glass. "We have to be patient and wait for a few years for Michael to relax his vigilance. If possible, help him get rid of his household enemies, I want him to be well relaxed, so he wouldn''t know when, how, why and where trouble would come for him. A patient dog eats the fattest bone."


    She took another sip from her wine glass before she continued. "That stupid Doctor that is troubling Chen Lihua, if he becomes too troublesome, get rid of him. The man is an Old fool, he needs to go and join his ancestors. But in whatever you are doing, be extremely careful and cautious in order not arouse Michael''s suspicion."


    "Yes Mistress." The man replied obediently as he bowed his head.


    "Good! You can leave now." The woman said as she waved her hand.


    The man hesitated for a little while as he still had another disturbing matter to report.


    "Yes?." The woman asked him in annoyance.


    "Mistress i still have another matter to report." The man announced with his head lowered.


    "Then out with it, i don''t have a lot of time to spend listening to nonsense reports all day." The woman said as she continued taking sips after sips from her wine glass.


    The man reported in a lowered voice. "One of the men we sent to Country C sent a drone to survey Mr. Lu''s house, but the drone was immediately take down by Mr. Lu''s men before it could record anything meaningful."


    The woman immediately spilled back the wine in her mouth back into the wine glass in her hand as she stared at the man in shock.


    "You said what?!." The woman asked sharply as she slowly stood to her feet.


    The man still had his head lowered as he repeated his words.


    "Raise your head so I can take a look at that hideous face of yours." The woman commanded as she stepped in front of him with her side profile in view due to the ray of light in the room.


    The man did as commanded, and immediately he received a resounding slap on his cheek.


    "This slap is so you know how to direct your anger properly on that bloody psychopath, without mercy. I want to see his head, do it neatly. And apply some moisturixing cream on your face, it is too hard for me to slap. See, my palm is now red, and it hurts." The woman said without a care in her voice as she displayed her right palm for him to see how red her palm had become.


    "Forgive me Mistress." The man apologized with his head lowered.


    "Forget it, what you should do to make me forgive you, is if you do exactly as I command you. I want to see that stupid he-goat''s head in two days time. But till then I am still angry. That reminds me, get me things to vent my anger on, till that day." The woman commanded before going back to her seat.


    "Yes Mistress." The man said in bass voice as he bowed before leaving the room.

 Chapter 349 - Why are you running away?

    These days Chen Lihua has been serious with her training and at last, she managed to complete her shooting training plus taekwondo beginner''s class.


    She has been feeling too exhausted these days, so Liu Longwei let her pause her taekwando classes for the mean time. It wasn''t easy shuffling from the hospital to the shooting ground, and then the taekwondo classes, plus the games she has been learning how to play.


    Chen Lihua promised to learn how to throw darts, play the pool, play bowling and some other games she didn''t was interested in learning.


    "You look tired and haggard these days, you need to take a long rest." Liu Longwei advised Chen Lihua as they engaged in their morning run exercise.


    "I''m fine. The training made me discover how weak I was, and now I am set to make things right." Chen Lihua said in disagreement.


    "I didn''t tell you to quit with the training, I am only telling you to pause it and take a break. I don''t want you looking like I am not taking care of you, an instead abusing you." Liu Longwei insisted.


    "Alright, I will listen to you, but I will only rest for a few days." Chen Lihua said in a smile.


    Liu Longwei returned a smile and continued running with her as their car followed behind them.


    Not too long, Chen Lihua suddenly slowed down, and then she came to a stop. With a hand on her head and the other stretched out, she called out to Liu Longwei. "Darling....."


    Liu Longwei stopped running and turned to look at her. And when he saw not looking too well and with a hand on her head, he immediately rushed towards her to take her outstretched hand.


    "Sweetheart what''s wrong?." Liu Longwei asked while supporting her, as he lead her back to the car. Meanwhile, a bodyguard came out from the front passenger seat to open the backdoor for them.


    "I just suddenly felt dizzy, help me to take a sit, and pass me the bottle of water." Chen Lihua requested.


    Liu Longwei helped her to sit in the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, before uncapping a bottle of water and passing it to her.


    Chen Lihua took the bottle from him and drank half of the water content before returning it to him. Liu Longwei capped the bottle and put it inside the car as he asked her worriedly.


    "How are you feeling now, do you still feel dizzy?."


    "Thank you, I am much better now." Chen Lihua replied as she relaxed her back on the car seat with a small towel that Liu Longwei passed to her in her hand. She wiped her sweat with the towel.


    "You need proper rest. The training really took a toll on you." Liu Longwei said.


    "Yeah it sure did." Chen Lihua said in agreement this time around.


    "Do you want to take a day off from the hospital today?." Liu Longwei asked with his hand resting on the car door.


    "I don''t think so, since I only have to be in the hospital for four hours today, starting from 10:00 AM. So I have enough time to rest at home and watch my body". Chen Lihua replied after much consideration


    "Not bad, Let''s go home, so you can have your breakfast and start taking a rest." Liu Longwei said, closing the car door.


    He got into the car from the other side. He helped Chen Lihua to fasten her seat belt before fastening his.


    "Turn up the heater." Liu Longwei said to the driver before they drove off.


    Back home, Chen Lihua had a sumptuous breakfast instead of the usual light breakfast she normally requested for.


    "I must say that I''m quite surprised that you cleared the plate which is unlike you." Liu Longwei said in surprise and took a sip of coffee from the mug on the table.


    "I don''t know why, but I kind of felt like I didn''t eat at night. Secondly, I like oats a lot with enough sugar and milk." Chen Lihua replied happily.


    "Since you like it this much, then you should have it more often." Liu Longwei suggested.


    "I will." Chen Lihua replied, as she used the table napkin to wipe her mouth before drinking some water.


    "So, what are your plans for today?." Chen Lihua asked with raised brows, there was a silly smile on her face.


    "I will leave for work at the same time as you. I have a meeting with my managers and Board of Directors. Thereafter, I have a video conference in the evening, but that will be when I come home. Do you need me for anything?." He asked.


    "Not really, I just felt like spending time with you in a warm and cozy bedroom. But there is no problem since you will be occupied throughout today." Chen Lihua said her mind without hiding her thoughts.


    Liu Longwei stared at her with narrowed eyes and a playful smile on his face. Chen Lihua felt disturbed with that look, so she asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?."


    "It''s rare for you to open up to me about your feelings. So for you, I will push back the video conference, I will move it forward to tomorrow''s afternoon." Liu Longwei revealed with a pleasant smile on his face.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua replied embarrassingly as she stood up to leave the dining with immediate effect.


    "Are you running away because you are shy?." Liu Longwei called out to her before standing up to follow her.


    "Who said anything about being shy?." Chen Lihua asked back without stopping in her steps.


    "If you are not shy, then why are you running away?." Liu Longwei teased.


    Chen Lihua stopped in her steps and turned to say to him with a shy smile on her face that was barely noticeable. "What is wrong with you, can you take a minute off from embarrassing me?. I am not running away, I am going to rinse my mouth, and then lie on the bed to take a rest as you suggested earlier, do you have any problem with that?."


    "No Ma, you can go." Liu Longwei replied with a smirk on his face that meant that he didn''t believe a word she said.


    Chen Lihua understood that very well, and that was she rolled her eyes at him before walking away in a hurry.

 Chapter 350 - Chen Lihua helps Liu Longwei with a romantic bath

    "Love, what are you doing?." Mu Boqin asked his wife Liu Dongmei who was scribbling something on a paper, as he came into the bedroom. His wife looked very serious while working.


    "I am planning a get together for the family." Liu Dongmei replied.


    "Wow! that''s nice of you." Mu Boqin replied as he kissed her cheek.


    "I''ve always been a nice person, don''t you know?." Liu Dongmei asked as she gave him a look.


    "Yeah, I know. Babe, show me some love." Mu Boqin requested as he kissed her neck.


    "Not now, I''m busy." Liu Dongmei said as she gently pushed him away with her hand.


    "Love if you don''t come now, you will owe me two." Mu Boqin threatened in a smile.


    "What two, do you want to kill me?." Liu Dongmei asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    Mu Boqin spread his palms out for her, indicating that the choice was hers to make.


    "You know what, forget it. I will give it to you now." Liu Dongmei said as she closed the jotter and her laptop on the desk before standing to her feet.


    "That''s my baby." Mu Boqin said happily as he whined his waist. "Which position do you want us to take, and where should we do it?." He asked with a teasing smile on his face as he caressed her face.


    "We will use the bedroom. Mission style, and that means you will be on top." Liu Dongmei answered.


    "No problem at all Ma''am. Come here." Mu Boqin said as he hugged her waist and began to kiss her lips. Liu Dongmei on the other hand kissed him back. She even wrapped her hands around his neck before crossing her legs over his back when he lifted her up.


    She was truly up for this.


    While this Sister was having fun, the other one Liu Huiling was currently having a heated argument with her husband.


    "Zhang Wei, what is the meaning of this?! I am tired of your nonsense, and I don''t know how long I can keep up with this act!." Liu Huiling complained bitterly.


    "I am not in the mood for your screaming and arguments. I had a long day at work, I need to rest." Zhang Wei said as he sat on the couch without a care.


    "You are not in the mood for any arguments, really?." Liu Huiling retorted.


    Zhang Wei ignored her as he shut his eyes and relaxed more comfortably on the couch.


    "If you don''t get rid of those s.l.u.ts by your side, I will deal with you and them all at once." Liu Huiling said in a final statement. She was beyond angry.


    Her husband was cheating on her, and he was doing that so boldly, not caring about her feelings or reputation.


    Just today, She saw him holding a girl''s hand in front of his company. She had something to do that brought her around his workplace.


    With they way they two were interacting, she knew that he wasn''t casually talking to her, something smelt fishy in the air.


    Wang Wei''s eyes immediately shut open as he stared at her in shock. "Are you threatening me?!."


    "Oh yeah, I am. Nonsense!." Liu Huiling said her piece before walking away in a huff, as her husband continued staring at her back in shock.


    Throughout the time she found out that her husband was being unfaithful to her, she has never brought up about dealing with him.


    Wang Wei knew what she meant by dealing with him, and it was a serious matter that was disadvantageous to him.


    He wasn''t planning on getting rid of those girls by his side, but he will continue in his a.d.u.l.terous acts, while trying his best to keep it away from her.


    Let''s see how long he can keep up with his sinful acts.


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua''s Villa.


    Liu Longwei came home early from work to see his beautiful wife at home. She looked like a seductive Villain in that short red hot dress that hugged her curves.


    Chen Lihua welcomed her husband with open arms. She looked so happy to see him back home so early today.


    "You look hot in that dress." Liu Longwei complimented her after he kissed her lips softly.


    "Thank you, let me get that for you." Chen Lihua said, taking his jacket from him.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he held her hands and took the elevator to his bedroom.


    "Would you like a bath?." Chen Lihua asked him.


    "Yes please, thank you." Liu Longwei replied as he sat on the edge of the bed.


    "You are welcome." Chen Lihua replied in a smile before walking into the washroom, while Liu Longwei waited on her.


    "Darling, your bath is ready!." Chen Lihua announced from the bathroom some minutes later.


    Liu Longwei walked into the bathroom in his bathrobe. he looked at his beautiful wife in that short dress that exposed her long legs and cleavage, he felt the urge to do something bad to her.


    "What are you doing standing there and staring at me like a predator would stare at it''s prey." Chen Lihua asked as she took few steps to stand in front of him.


    "Actually you are right. I am the predator, and you are my prey. Sweetheart, you don''t wanna know what I want to do with you looking so hot in that dress." Liu Longwei said in a low seductive voice.


    "Why don''t you tell me what you want to do with me?." Chen Lihua suggested in a low voice as she untied his bathrobe.


    "You are being naughty now, aren''t you?." Liu Longwei asked as he cupped her face and kissed her lips.


    "I have always been the good girl. I wanted to change roles today. So tell me, how am I doing so far?." Chen Lihua asked in between the kisses.


    "You are doing better than I expected." Liu Longwei replied as he moved his hands to her side to cup her buttoms. He squeezed them gently as he continued to kiss her.


    "Mmm mmh." Chen Lihua said with her mouth still in his.


    Liu Longwei released her lips before asking, "What?."


    "You need to have your bath, or your water will turn cold." Chen Lihua reminded him.


    "Like I care about it when I''m with you." Liu Longwei replied in a smile before moving his fingers to her cleavage.


    "You can have me later but first, you need to have your bath." Chen Lihua sais as she swatted his naughty fingers from her body before gently pushing him towards the bathtub.


    "Why don''t you join me?." Liu Longwei asked with his hand on his briefs, ready to take them off.


    "I had my bath and dressed up just for you. I will just sit by the side and watch you." Chen Lihua replied as she ogled at his n.a.k.e.d body after he took his bathrobe and briefs off.


    Liu Longwei caught her eyes moving all over his body, so he smiled, but decided not to tease her.


    "Why don''t you help me with a bath?." Liu Longwei requested with a smirk on his face.


    "Sure." Chen Lihua agreed.


    Liu Longwei laid inside the bathtub comfortably as Chen Lihua rubbed the shower gel on his chest and massaged his whole body with it.


    From the bathroom, this two went to the bedroom to continue from where they stopped. Chen Lihua was really active today......

 Chapter 351 - Worry over her mothers health

    Today, Chen Lihua was at the hospital when her cousin, Changying (Aunt Lin''s daughter) called. The exchanged pleasantries, but if you are careful enough, you would know that they weren''t that close.


    Changying spoke with much urgency in her voice.


    "Can I come to see you at the hospital? I have an important matter to talk to you about, it''s urgent." Changying asked.


    Chen Lihua lifted her left hand to take a look at the wrist watch on her wrist and asked, "I have a surgery to perform in few minutes time, so i will be in the operating theater for the next two hours. But I will ask someone to lead you to my office when you come, so you can wait there for me. Is that okay with you?."


    "Yes, thank you so much." Changying said over the phone in a grateful tone.


    "You are welcome, but can you at least give me a hint of what you want to talk about? Just brief me on it." Chen Lihua asked eagerly.


    She wasn''t that close to any of her cousins apart from the twins from her mother''s side. Although she rarely communicated with the rest, they still checked up on each other once in a while.


    The last time she spoke to Changying, was during the time she was recovering from her trauma. But before then, her wedding period was the last time they spoke.


    So her cousin asking to speak to her about an urgent matter, the matter must be srious. So she wants to get a head''sup first.


    Changying took a deep breath before speaking up. "My mum has been acting weirdly for some months now, and I think she is sick, but doesn''t want anyone to know about it."


    Chen Lihua was quiet for three seconds before she said in reply, "Alright, we will talk when you come to the hospital."


    After the call, Chen Lihua took a deep breath and allowed her thoughts to wander as she had a look of concern and worry on her face.


    If what her cousin said about her Aunt being sick, and trying to hide it from others, then that''s not good news at all.


    Chen Lihua is a doctor and a surgeon, so she knows the reasons most patients try to hide their health status from their family members. There are two reason for that.


    One, it''s either the illness is a minor one, and so the patient doesn''t want to make a fuss about it. Or two, the patient is seriously or terminally ill and doesn''t want to worry his family members.


    But from what her cousin said about her Aunt acting weirdly for a few months now, she is afraid, it''s the latter. Her Aunt maybe seriously ill.


    But for now, she would try not to come to a conclusion until she has spoken with her cousin, seen her Aunt, and probably gets her to run some tests.


    Recovering from her thoughts, Chen Lihua made a phone call, and passed on a message to bring her cousin to her office when she arrives.


    Chen Lihua took a deep breath before standing up from her seat and taking her white coat along with her as she left her office for the operating theater.


    After two hours of surgery, Chen Lihua came out from the theater, and was informed that her cousin has arrived and had been waiting for her for the past twenty minutes.


    Chen Lihua washed her hands before going into her office in a hurry.


    When her cousin saw her come in she stood up to greet her in a smile.


    Chen Lihua gave her a little hug as she asked in a pleasant smile, "I''m sorry for keeping you waiting, please have a seat."


    "No need to be sorry, I should be the one apologizing for encroaching on your working ours." Changying said in a smile as she sat down.


    "No troubles at all. So tell me, how are you, and how is everything going on with you?." Chen Lihua asked in a relaxred smile as she sat on her seat.


    "I am fine. Lately managing the stores has taken a toll on me. It''s not easy overseeing a muti-million company. Since my mum introduced me to the business, she has practically left everything for me to handle." Changying said with a little annoyance at the last words.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly looking at her cousin''s facial expression. "Maybe she wants you to have a foothold in the business just like she had when she was at your age."


    Changying sighed before saying to Chen Lihua in a teasing smile. "Married life is looking good on you, look at you, you are looking radiant as the day goes by."


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua replied happily. She couldn''t hide the joy in her heart.


    "Do have a boyfriend?." Chen Lihua asked as she winked her eyes.


    "Yes I do, but I hardly have time to meetup with him since i fully got into business." Changying replied in a mature manner.


    "Don''t say you don''t have the time. In life, we can always find time for the ones we love." Chen Lihua said, speaking from experience.


    "Yeah you are right." Changying said in agreement with her.


    The two talked about their family (Chen) as it''s the family they are related to, before riding down to business.


    "Tell me about Aunt, you mentioned something about her on the phone." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I noticed that she has been acting weirdly before the month of your wedding, but I didn''t take it serious. But after your wedding when I began to spend some time with her at home, and watch her, I noticed a lot of things. She exercised early in the morning."


    Chen Lihua cut her off with a question, "What is wrong with exercising in the morning?."


    "Since I was growing up, I have never seen my mother exercise in the morning or do morning run or jogging. She only does yoga in the morning, and when she wants to exercise, she goes to the gym with her friends. Exercising in the morning it''s not bad, and I am not against it. But what if she was never exercising like she said?. Changying asked.


    "What do you mean? If she hasn''t been exercising, what has she been doing?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "I thought she has been exercising until one day she forgot her face towel on the parlor couch, so I decided to go and give it to her and join her in the morning exercise. I went to the park where she normally goes for the exercise, and saw her sitting there lost in thought, I stood at a distance and watched her for few minutes, before walking up to her. She didn''t even know that I was standing in front of her until I called her attention."

 Chapter 352 - Aunt Lin is hiding her health status

    "She didn''t even know I was standing in front of her until I called out to her. She looked shocked to see me. She questioned me, asking what i was doing there, and how long i had been standing there. I passed the towel to her and told her that I just arrived before sitting beside her and had my eyes on the field and watched other people exercise in the park".


    Flashback....


    "I thought you would be exercising by now, why are you sitting here." Changying asked her mother.


    "I only did a few moves and decided to just sit and watch them." Aunt Lin replied with her gaze on the field as she watched the others exercise.


    Since her mother wasn''t exercising with the others, she left the park.


    "Mum I''m off to work, see you there." She announced before walking away.


    "Don''t expect to see me, because I may not come in." Aunt Lin replied immediately.


    Changying stopped in her steps, then continued immediately, like she never stopped.


    Flashback ends...


    After Changying narrated this part to Chen Lihua, she took a deep breathe before continuing as Chen Lihua paid rapt attention.


    "When I got to the office that day, I had a strong feeling and my spirit was convinced that something was definitely wrong with my mother, so i decided to follow her to the park tomorrow, unnoticed."


    Flashback starts ....


    The next morning, Changying wore a sports outfit and hid in a corner as she watched her mother leave the house. She followed her till she left the gates of their house.


    "Ma''am you left your phone on the dining, and it has been ringing." A servant said to Changying as she passed the phone to her.


    "Thank you." Changying said, taking her phone from her. She checked the missed call log and saw from the contact that the call wasn''t urgent, and could wait, so she slid her phone into her pocket before slowly walking out from the gate of their house.


    Lo and behold, she couldn''t find her mother after looking at both ends of the street that was quite some distance away. So she asked the gate keeper, "Did you see my mother, where did she go to?."


    The Old man replied respectfully, "Madam has left already in a taxi."


    "In a taxi, are you sure of what you are saying?." Changying asked in surprise. Her mo


    "Yes, she left in a taxi. She takes a taxi from this spot every morning, or she would walk a little distance away from here before taking a taxi." The gate keeper explained.


    "Alright, thank you." Changying looked so weak after the information she digested.


    Her mother tells her that she was jogged to the park every morning. Now what is this she was hearing that she always took a taxi to the park just outside the gate to their house?.


    There was not time to waste, so she went into the house to take her car keys before driving to the park to look for her mother.


    When she got to the park, she saw her mother sitting at the same spot as the previous day. She decided to sit in her car and devote her morning into monitoring her mother to know what she was up to.


    After and hour of sitting in her car and watching her mother, she never saw her mother stand up from that bench till the time she decided to leave the park in a taxi.


    On getting close to their house, her mother stopped the taxi and came down from it, walking the rest of the journey with her legs.


    Changying followed her mother in her car till she entered the gates of their house. From her mother''s back, she could tell that she was tired and getting breathless.


    ''If she was going to the park every morning in a taxi to watch people exercise or to think about important matters, or to take a breather, why would she lie about that?. And why was she already breathless and tired after walking a little distance?. She must be ill.'' Changying thought to herself and said in conclusion.


    Changying didn''t enter the house, instead she turned around and drove to Chen''s MALL to buy groceries. She came back an hour later.


    "I thought you''ve left for work already, and what''s with the groceries?." Aunt Lin asked, surprised to see her daughter at home, carrying two bags of groceries in her hands.


    Two servants came to take the groceries from Changying as she took a sit.


    "I will report to work in the afternoon. I decided to do a little grocery shopping since we are running out of some stuffs. How was your morning exercise today?." Changying asked.


    "Oh! It was fine, I learnt a new move today." Aunt Lin lied smoothly, accompanied by a smile.


    "Wow! that''s fantastic. Do you mind teaching me the new moves?." Changying asked in a fake smile.


    "I would have loved to, but I am tired now. Maybe next time, I will teach you, so we can do it together." Aunt Lin assured her in a smile.


    "Okay." Changying agreed whilst nodding her head.


    ''Mother, what are you hiding from me, from all of us?.'' Chen Lihua asked in her mind as she glanced at her mother who was sitting comfortably, and drinking a vegetable juice from a straw.


    Aunt Lin seemed to be enjoying it as she flipped through the women fashion magazine.


    "Do you want some?." Aunt Lin asked her daughter suddenly.


    "No thank you, enjoy your vegetable juice." Changying said, getting up from the sofa.


    "Remember to come back home early from work, your father wants us to have dinner at a restaurant tonight after he gets back from his trip today." Aunt Lin reminded in a casual manner.


    "I know." Changying replied before her back disappeared from her mother''s view.


    Flashback ends .....


    "Lihua I am seriously worried about her. My mother''s lifestyle has changed. She has lost weight, she changed her diet and she''s now eating some weird things that she didn''t eat before. She wears makeup at home. The only time you won''t see makeup on her face is before her fake morning exercise, and after her night bath. She hardly comes to work, and when she does, she doesn''t stay longer than three hours before leaving. Her breath smells like menthol after I noticed she was coughing frequently and asked her to treat it. Well, she still coughs, but not a lot." Changying said in a worried voice before drinking from the bottle of water Chen Lihua passed to her.

 Chapter 353 - Chen Lihua guesses Aunt Lins health status after much observation

    Chen Lihua sighed deeply before speaking up in a low voice. "I am afraid to say this, But from everything you''ve told me, Aunt Lin is seriously ill, but I can''t tell how serious it is. She needs to get a test done for us to know what is actually wrong with her".


    "The problem is that she will never agree to a test. Lihua, is there no way you can tell what is wrong with her by just taking a look at her?." Changying asked with a ray of hope in her eyes.


    "I can guess if I see the physical symptoms, but it may not be of much help." Chen Lihua said.


    "That''s right, because of your field." Changying said with a little disappointment in her voice.


    "Don''t worry, I will do everything I can for you and Aunt Lin. I will pay a visit to her early tomorrow morning. And if I don''t discover anything, I will force her to take a test if she doesn''t tell me her health status, because I am sure she knows." Chen Lihua said in a serious tone.


    "Lihua, thank you so much, I won''t know what to do without you." Changying said gratefully.


    "That''s not a problem, that''s what family is for." Chen Lihua said in a smile.


    After parting ways, Chen Lihua sat in her office in deep thought.


    After work, she phoned her mother to find out if she knew something about her Aunt, but Lady Chen gave a negative response.


    "I saw how dull her complexion was and asked her about it, but she said she changed powder, Apart from her complexion and the weight she lost, I think everything is okay with her. Oh one more thing, I saw her from the window coughing continuously after she left our house. Why are you asking all these weird questions?." Lady Chen asked after saying everything she knew.


    That day Aunt Lin came to the Chen House, she didn''t cough when she was in her brother and sister-in-law''s present. But immediately she came out from their house, she started coughing continuously, and that was the scene Lady Chen saw through the window.


    Lady Chen left early from the discussion because she was angry with her husband for not suing his friend Mr. Gu. So had it been she didn''t leave early she wouldn''t have been opportune to see that scene.


    "There''s no problem, I just wanted to confirm something. I will talk to you later, bye." Chen Lihua said and ended the call immediately before her mother starts to get suspicious.


    When Chen Lihua got home, she told Liu Longwei about her cousin''s visit and what they talked about. She also talked about her plans on the matter.


    Liu Longwei supported her, and only asked her to be careful.


    Early the next morning, Chen Lihua paid a surprise visit to her Aunt.


    Aunt Lin was not only surprised to see her, she was shocked! The kind of relationship she had with Chen Lihua does not warrant her visit at all.


    After exchanging pleasantries, Aunt Lin immediately asked in a smile. "Lihua what are you doing here so early in the morning, did you come to see your cousin?."


    "Aunt I''m sorry to visit without prior notice, but I asked Changying, who gave me the permission. And I am sorry for coming this early, but this is the only time I have since am so busy this period. I just wanted to pay a visit to you." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Oh! There is no problem at all, I just wanted to know." Aunt Lin replied.


    "Aunt I brought some fruits and the white wine you like." Chen Lihua said to her, while pointing to the several shop bags at a corner.


    "Thank you so much." Aunt Lin replied and got up to check the bags happily.


    Just then, Changying came downstairs and called out to Chen Lihua, "Lihua, you are here just like you said."


    The two hugged each other, and Changying sat beside her.


    "Why do you call her by her name? Lihua is older than you with at least two years. You should call her Sister Lihua." Aunt Lin scolded her daughter gently.


    "Aunt don''t about that, I am very comfortable that way. Calling me sister Lihua makes it seem like I''m so much other than her, and I don''t like it." Chen Lihua said in a pleasant smile.


    "Alright, if you say so." Aunt Lin replied as Changying smiled from the side.


    As Chen Lihua conversed with Aunt Lin, she kept monitoring her body movements.


    True to what her cousin told her, her Aunt had indeed lost weight, and she was looking much older than before.


    When Chen Lihua was about leaving, she saw a man coming down the stairs while calling out to her Aunt.


    Chen Lihua looked so shocked to see a man of that age in her Aunt''s house. She didn''t even know who the man was.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her Aunt who had her eyes on the man, and then she gave her cousin a look that meant, ''who is that?''. Her cousin whispered softly to her ear, "He is my father."


    "Oh!." Chen Lihua mouthed and turned to leave, but Aunt Lin''s words stopped her.


    She started to introduce them both. "HuiQing, meet my niece Lihua, the one I invited you to her Wedding. Lihua meet HuiQing, Changming''s father, he has been staying here for a little while now."


    Chen Lihua shook hands with the man as she exchanged greetings with him in a polite manner. She referred to him as Uncle.


    HuiQuing replied her greetings in a warm smile, In fact, he was so welcoming.


    "Aunt see you next time, I have to leave now." Chen Lihua said her goodbyes and turned to leave.


    "I walk Lihua out." Changming said as she immediately followed Chen Lihua.


    Outside the house, the two young women stood at a place to talk softly.


    "Did you find out anything?." Changming asked with worry laced in her eyes.


    "I found out a lot, and that lot shows that Aunt is seriously sick and needs a checkup done." Chen Lihua concluded in worry.


    "What else did you find out apart from what I told you?." Changming asked.


    "Your mum sits with small pillows supporting her back, and she still seemed to be uncomfortable while talking to me. She kept adjusting her position in a not so obvious manner, and it looked each movements caused her pain. She also seemed to be hiding the fact that she has cough. Sometimes she holds the cough back, but when she can''t, she just let''s it out." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Ok, what do you think is wrong with her, can you guess?." Changming asked worriedly as she held unto Chen Lihua''s hands.


    Chen Lihua took a deep breath before saying softly. "She looks like she is terminally ill, and I think it''s cancer from the symptoms of what I observed and what you told me."


    "But I can''t conclude till she gets a test done, or tells us what is wrong with her." Chen Lihua said in encouragement when she saw how devastated her cousin was with the news.

 Chapter 354 - Aunt Lins health status comes to light

    In the hospital, Chen Lihua felt so restless through out the time she arrived and the time for her to leave. She felt so disturbed by her Aunt''s case that she decided to get a word out of her mouth that same day, or she wouldn''t be at peace.


    Chen Lihua informed Liu Longwei of her movements over the phone before going back to her Aunt''s house. She called her cousin, Changming over the phone to inform her of her decision.


    "Thank you so much Lihua, I will set the atmosphere before you arrive." Changming promised.


    "Alright, see you in about thirty minutes." Chen Lihua said.


    In about thirty and some minutes later, Chen Lihua arrived at her Aunt''s house.


    From the voices she was hearing from inside the house, she could tell that there was a heated argument ongoing.


    "I guess she meant business when she said she would set the atmosphere." Chen Lihua said to herself in a soft voice.


    "You two wait here for me." Chen Lihua said to the two bodyguards before walking into the house alone.


    "Mum, you need to tell us what is wrong with you! We are your family and you need to talk to us about certain issues in your life, your health is an example." Changming said worriedly.


    "What is wrong with you this child?! I said I''m fine and my health is at it''s peak, so stop worrying yourself." Aunt Lin replied in annoyance.


    "Changming, you need to calm down. Your mother said she is fine, so maybe she is fine." Huiqing said from the side.


    "Father, Mum is very sick. But the worst part of it, is that she is trying really hard to hide that fact from all of us!." Changming said in a anger as she glanced between her father and mother.


    "I am worried about your mother just like you. I also asked your mother about her wealth, and she told me the same thing she just said now. So why do you keep saying she is sick?." Huiqing asked curiously.


    Obviously, his daughter wouldn''t keep hammering on her mother''s health from nowhere. Something has to be wrong!.


    "Mum''s diet changed suddenly, which she has never done before". Changming said and Aunt Lin cut her off immediately.


    "Am I not allowed to change my diet at my own will?."


    Changming ignored her and continued. "You always look so tired and worn out these days, any little thing you do, tires you out."


    "Who told you that?." Aunt Lin asked.


    "Well it''s very obvious. And I confirmed it when I followed you to the park the other day, and there I found out that you''ve been lying about that too." Changming said in a huff.


    "You followed your mother to the park, what happened there? Why are you calling her a liar." HuiQing asked, as he started to become alarmed.


    Changming went ahead to recount the two times she went to the park, and what transpired there, as she watched her mother with a shocked expression on her face, before she covered it up with a mask of indifference.


    "That doesn''t mean anything. You know what, I am tired of your talks, I need to go and get some sleep." Aunt Lin said as she tried to get up from the couch, but her daughter''s next words stopped her.


    "Yeah, run away like you''ve been doing." Changming said angrily as she sat on the couch.


    "I am not trying to run away. Is just that you haven''t said anything that makes sense to me." Aunt Lin said, looking at her daughter.


    "Lihua actually diagnosed you even if she wasn''t quite sure of what is wrong with you, but she confirmed you were seriously ill after monitoring you earlier this morning. So what do you have to say about it? Lihua is in the medical field, and she can never tell lies." Changming revealed.


    "Lihua said I''m sick?." Aunt Lin asked in a weak voice.


    "Yes Aunt, you are very sick, and that''s why I came back seeking for more answers from you." Chen Lihua said as she walked in.


    "Since I saw you this morning, my heart hasn''t been at ease. I have been so worried about you, and I have thinking about you all day, and that got me so worked up. So I had to return." Chen Lihua said with a worried look.


    Aunt Lin was so shocked that she couldn''t say anything. ''That''s right, Lihua is in the medical field, and she can easily tell that something is wrong with me. I must have overlooked that aspect''.


    "Lin''er, is what your niece saying true?." HuiQing asked in an alarmed tone as he came to sit beside her, taking her hands in his.


    "Don''t mind her, she must have misinterpreted some things." Aunt Lin lied uneasily.


    "Aunt don''t say that. You know I will never say what I am not sure of, to a patient. Look at you, you no longer look and act like my vibrant Aunt of the past, and you look like you''ve aged incredibly. That you are older than my mother by a few years, doesn''t mean you should be looking so much older than her." Chen Lihua said as Aunt Lin unconsciously touched her face with her hands.


    "I agree with you on that, She looks so much older now, well obviously, the spa treatments and the layers of makeup can''t cover it up anymore." Changming said sarcastically out of annoyance.


    Her words seemed to have stirred something deep in her mother''s heart.


    It caused pain to Aunt Lin if not, tears would not be rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably no matter how much effort she put in trying to wipe them away.


    "Lin''er why are you crying, what happened? Is there something you are not telling us.? HuiQing confronted in a frightened voice.


    Changming became worried when she saw her mother''s tears. She felt so guilty for bringing tears to her mother''s eyes through her words. So she went to sit beside her mother and hugged her from the side.


    "Mum, I''m so sorry. I am sorry for being so rude, stop crying." Changming apologized, almost in tears as well.


    "Aunt, you need to come clean with us. We are your family, and we are here to help you through difficult times. You might be thinking that you are doing us good by not telling us your health status because you don''t want us to worry. But the truth is that you are making us more worried about you because we don''t know what is actually wrong with you, when we have a doubt that you are not okay. So please tell us what you are going through." Chen Lihua said in the calmest manner possible.


    Aunt Lin cried softly as her daughter and the father consoled her. At this point, Chen Lihua didn''t say anything to get her riled up again. She just sat on the couch and watched the family of three, allowing her Aunt to continue at her own pace.


    Aunt Lin cried for a little while before finally saying in a choked up voice, shocking everybody in the house.


    "I have cancer, Lung cancer."

 Chapter 356 - I want to hear my wifes voice

    "Mum, what are you saying, are you even listening to Lihua?."


    "Lin''er don''t talk like that. Even if you didn''t have hope before, but you have to, now. You have people that you love, and love you too, don''t you want to live a little longer to see them?. What about our daughter, don''t you want to see her get married and have a children?."


    Aunt Lin sighed before slowly standing to her feet. "I am tired, I need to get some rest. Lihua, I will see you some other time."


    "Aunt, do you have time to come see me in the hospital tomorrow?." Chen Lihua requested as she stood to her feet worriedly.


    Aunt Lin was silent for a few seconds, before she obliged.


    Chen Lihua managed a smile as she replied, "Alright Aunt, take care. I will see you at the hospital tomorrow."


    "Changming see your cousin out." Aunt Lin turned to say to her daughter, but Chen Lihua stopped them.


    "Don''t worry Aunt, I can find my way. Goodnight." Chen Lihua said and left after bidding them farewell.


    Outside the house, Chen Lihua allowed the tears she''s been holding in to flow from her eyes. She staggered a little, but her arm was immediately grabbed by K2.


    "Ma''am, are you alright?." K2 asked as he supported her.


    "I''m fine." Chen Lihua replied with tears in her eyes. She then slowly removed her hand from K2''s hold.


    "I can walk by myself." Chen Lihua told him and walked to the car.


    K2 increased his pace. He opened the car door for her and closed it after she settled herself inside.


    On their way back to the house, Chen Lihua kept sniffing as more tears rolled down her cheeks. Then suddenly, her phone rang.


    When she checked the caller ID, she discovered it was Liu Longwei. She refused to answer the call, because Liu Longwei would immediately find out that something was wrong with her from her voice, so she was avoiding that situation.


    Liu Longwei called her one more time, but she still didn''t answer it, so he became worried. With furrowed brows, he contacted K2.


    "Where is my wife?." Liu Longwei asked in a serious tone.


    "She is in the car with us, we are on our way to the house." K2 replied.


    "How is she?." Liu Longwei asked further.


    K2 glanced at the back seat, and saw his Mistress in tears. He was in a dilemma, because he didn''t know if he should tell the truth or lie.


    But the truth of the matter is that he will be punished severely if he was found to have lied.


    "Master, she doesn''t look fine."


    "What happened to her?." Liu Longwei asked in a raised tone.


    "We don''t know Sir. She came out of the house and we saw her not looking good." K2 answered with difficulty. He felt so bad, as if he was talking behind her Mistress.


    "Pass the phone to her." Liu Longwei ordered authoritatively.


    "Ma''am, Sir wants to have a word with you." K2 informed in a low voice as he passed the form to Chen Lihua, who heard every word he said to her husband.


    Chen Lihua wiped her tears before raising her head. Then she said in reply, "I will talk to him when I get home."


    Liu Longwei who was at the other end of the phone, heard everything. He became more worried about his wife. But he could somehow tell that her Aunt''s situation wasn''t good.


    "Tell her that I''m worried about her, and I want to hear her voice." Liu Longwei said to K2.


    K2 immediately passed on the phone to Chen Lihua, along with the message.


    Chen Lihua didn''t want her husband to be worried about her for nothing. And she felt touched that he wanted to hear her voice so he would know she was fine, so she took the phone from K2.


    "Hello." Chen Lihua said softly.


    "Sweetheart, have you been crying?." Liu Longwei asked in a worried tone after he heard her voice.


    "Yeah, but I''m fine now." Chen Lihua replied honestly after forcing down the tears that was about coming out from her eyes.


    "Why did you cry, did something happen?." Liu Longwei inquired.


    "Can we talk when I get home?." Chen Lihua requested, because remembering that her Aunt had a life threatening illness, makes her want to cry.


    "Okay, I am waiting at home for you. I love you." Liu Longwei replied.


    "I love you." Chen Lihua replied and passed the phone back to K2.


    "Make sure my wife returns home safely." Liu Longwei ordered K2 before terminating the call.


    When Chen Lihua got home, Liu Longwei was already waiting outside for her.


    Liu Longwei immediately walked to the Jeep to help his wife out from the car.


    "Sweetheart, you look like you''ve been crying for a long time, look at your eyes, they are all red." Liu Longwei said as he hugged her shoulder with one hand, while the other hand held her handbag and white hospital coat, as he escorted her in.


    "In their room, Liu Longwei drew the bath for her and helped her sort out some things while she had her bath. Both of them had their dinner downstairs, but Chen Lihua didn''t eat much.


    But when Liu Longwei persuaded her to eat some more, she immediately ran out of the dinning room to throw up after she took another spoon of rice.


    Liu Longwei went after her, and helped to soother her back while she threw up. He passed her a bottle of water after she was done throwing up.


    "Sweetheart I''m sorry." Liu Longwei apologized on seeing his wife''s tired look.


    "It''s okay." Chen Lihua replied after rinsing her mouth with the water.


    After allowing her to rest, Liu Longwei asked about her Aunt''s health, and what happened in her house.


    "My Aunt has Lung Cancer, and she seems to be at the third stage already." Chen Lihua answered weakly as she sat on the bed.

 Chapter 357 - Persuading her Aunt

    "My Aunt has Lung Cancer, and she seems to be at the third stage already." Chen Lihua answered weakly as she sat on the bed.


    Liu Longwei sat on the bed close to her and hugged her shoulder. "It''s alright, everything will be okay." He said in consolation.


    Chen Lihua went on to explain about her Aunt''s illness. Although she didn''t cry this time around, she still felt disheartened as she talked about it.


    "I will make some contacts to University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, So they can take up your Aunt''s case." Liu Longwei promised.


    University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, is the top ranked and best Cancer hospital in the world.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said gratefully, but then her countenance changed.


    "That would be great, but my Aunt since to have lost the will to live. I really want to help her, but I can''t do that if she doesn''t agree with the treatment." She complained in distress.


    "She must have given up because she didn''t see any result from the other therapies and surgeries she went through, plus the knowledge she had that there was practically less survival rates for cancer patients." Liu Longwei said in understanding.


    "Yeah, but she wouldn''t have given up so easily since she has loved ones by her side. I don''t know my Aunt to be this weak. She has always been a strong woman and a fighter." Chen Lihua complained bitterly.


    "Circ.u.mstances changed. Sweetheart, not all the people you think are strong really are. Most of them are so softhearted, but put up that font so nobody will know their true self and trample on them. That strong font they put on, it''s just like a self defense mechanism." Liu Longwei explained.


    Chen Lihua was silent as she dwell on his words. He was right, 100% right.


    "Just talk to your Aunt. But if you can''t persuade her alone to get treatment, involve your other family members, so they can be of help. It is necessary for her to get treatment. Even if she can''t live too long, the treatment can buy her a few years left more than she can live without getting treatment." Liu Longwei advised.


    "Ok, I will do that, I asked my Aunt to come see me at the hospital tomorrow. I will try to persuade then but if she doesn''t listen to me, I will go ahead with the backup plan." Chen Lihua said as she rested her head on his shoulder.


    "That''s good." Liu Longwei replied as he ran his hands through her hair.


    "Darling, I am actually worried about another important matter." Chen Lihua announced.


    "Tell me about it." Liu Longwei persuaded.


    "I don''t know what my grandparents will do when they find out about this matter, they may not be able to withstand the shock." she said worriedly.


    "Well they don''t have to know about it." Liu LOngwei said as they glanced into each other''s eyes.


    Chen Lihua put her head back on his shoulder. "I don''t think my parents know about this. I will inform them about it tomorrow, after talking with Aunt Lin." Chen Lihua said.


    "Mmm. Let''s rest early, we have a long day ahead tomorrow." Liu Longwei said as he helped her lie down. He switched off the lights before lying on the bed beside her. He brought her into his arms as he hugged her soft body to sleep.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua left for work early in the morning since she had a surgery scheduled at that time.


    Since the Deputy Chief carried out the disciplinary measures bestowed on him, he hasn''t looked for troubles yet. But who knows if he is planning something, or has decided to take the right path?.


    After the surgery that lasted for three hours, Chen Lihua took a ten minutes break, before she started seeing other patients with heart issues.


    Late in the afternoon, she was informed that her Aunt was there to see her, so she immediately told them to send her to her office.


    She thought that her Aunt wouldn''t come to see her as agreed yesterday, so she lost hope and was deciding if she would go back to her house to visit that evening before the call came in.


    When her Aunt came into her office, Chen Lihua welcomed her amicably and ushered her to a seat, as if everything was alright. Then she engaged her Aunt in conversations, talking about other matters, leaving out the one about her health.


    "Aunt, there is good news. My husband has gotten in contact with the best cancer hospital in the world, and they are ready to take up your case as a special one. So, you just have to say a date, and the appointment will be fixed. When you go to the US, they would have to run new tests on you, before treatments can commence." Chen Lihua revealed in a smile.


    Aunt Lin sighed and stared right into her eyes, tiredly. "Lihua, I have already lost hope on getting better when I know I can''t live for long. I don''t want anything that would get my hopes up, and then turn out to be false."


    "Aunt, to be frank with you, no one is trying to get your hopes high. You have cancer, and you should mostly be at the third stage which means that your chances of survival is slim. But you can still live up to a few years with the help of the treatment." Chen Lihua advised as a doctor, and not a family member.


    "From what you said, can you tell me the difference between getting treatment, and not getting any treatment?." Aunt Lin asked with no smile on her face.


    "Aunt there is a very big treatment. Getting treatment means that you will have more years to live than when you don''t get any treatment at all. If you have a year to live without getting treatment, then you will have like three to four years to live when you get treatment." Chen Lihua said in a serious tone as she gestured with her hands.


    Aunt Lin sighed before she said to her weakly. "You have a wonderful point Lihua. But the truth of the matter is that I have made up my mind not to get treatment again. I can''t waste my money and resources when I know I will still die."


    "Aunt what do you mean!." Chen Lihua said in an alarmed tone.


    "Are trying to say that we, your family are not worth you spending money so you can see us for a few more years? Are we so insignificant in your heart?. What about Changming, she is not married yet. Don''t you want to see her get married and have her own children?."

 Chapter 358 - Finally agreed to receive treatment

    "Aunt what do you mean!." Chen Lihua said in an alarmed tone.


    "Are trying to say that we, your family are not worth you spending money so you can see us for a few more years? Are we so insignificant in your heart?. What about Changming, she is not married yet. Don''t you want to see her get married and have her own children?."


    Aunt Lin was quiet as she lowered her head. Then Chen Lihua sighed before continuing in a soft tone.


    "Aunt I feel like you''ve changed a lot. This is not the Aunt I know. You allowed your problems to overwhelm you, which is not supposed to be so. You are now acting like you don''t care about anything and anybody again. Aunt Lin, you have people that love you, so why don''t you do everything you can to live a little longer and see more smiles on their faces?."


    "Changming has someone she is dating, but they are in different cities, and Changming is so busy these days that she doesn''t have the time to meet with her boyfriend, which is unfair to both of them." Chen Lihua revealed.


    There was silence in the room for almost a minute, each of the women, in their own thoughts. Aunt Lin was in deep thought with her head down, while Chen Lihua had her eyes on her Aunt, also having her own thoughts.


    Aunt Lin suddenly stood to her feet with her bag in hand. she shifted away from the chair and turned to walk towards the door in silence.


    Chen Lihua was surprised as she watched her actions. She became disheartened and almost gave up. But she decided to give it a try for the second time, so she called out to her in an urgent voice, "Aunt!."


    "I will go to Houston for the treatment, ask your husband to book the earliest appointment after New Year." Aunt Lin said immediately before leaving the office, and gently shut the door behind her.


    Chen Lihua was so shocked that she wasn''t even sure that she heard clearly as she stared at the closed door in wide eye.


    "Aunt!." Chen Lihua called out as she rushed out of her office in search of her Aunt, but she didn''t see her shadow even after looking to her right and left.


    Chen Lihua went back to her office and sat on her chair in a smile as she pondered on her Aunt''s reply. Even though she didn''t see her Aunt, she was still very happy for getting a positive reply from her after much effort.


    Chen Lihua picked up her phone to call Liu Longwei. And immediately the call connected, she shared the good news with him. Thereafter, she called her Cousin Changming to share the good news with her.


    Lastly, she called her mother and spoke about her Aunt''s condition and the conclusion of the matter. They spoke for nothing less than an hour. Towards the end of the conversation, she reminded her mother not to inform her grandparents of the news, which Lady Chen agreed to.


    Lady Chen was also in shock after receiving the news, so shared it with her husband when she arrived home from the office.


    These days, she has more work on her plate, and her husband was the less busy one since she was still in charge.


    After conversing with her husband, they decided not to bother Aunt Lin with calls, but agreed to visit her the next day, so they can know her well being and understand her situation well enough.


    Chen K called his two brothers and informed them of their sister''s health condition. He also warned them not to spread the news to the outside world, as it was something that should remain within the family. He also reminded them to keep the news from their aged parents.


    This night, The Chen family had trouble sleeping, as they all had something to be worried about.


    Changming was so happy that her mother agreed to go for treatment after much persuasion.


    When she came home from work, her parents were sitting at the dining table and conversing amicably. She rushed to the dining room and enveloped her mother in a tight hug.


    "Mum thank you for agreeing to the treatment." She said with joy in her voice.


    "Take it easy, don''t strangle your mother." Chen K said from the side with a worried look on his face.


    "It''s okay." Aunt Lin said in a smile.


    Changming released her mother from the hug and pulled a chair to sit close to her. "Mum, I can''t describe how happy I am with this good news. Thank you so much."


    "It''s fine." Aunt Lin replied as tears threatened to drop from her eyes.


    ''Looks like I made a good choice in agreeing to go for the treatment.'' Aunt Lin thought.


    Seeing her mother''s teary eyes, Changming kept a straight face as she threatened, "Mum if you cry, I will join you. And I will not stop crying till the next morning."


    Aunt Lin hurriedly wiped her eyes. "I will not cry, so don''t cry."


    While others were worrying about different matters, Chen Lihua was a bit relaxed tonight after settling her Aunt''s case. She talked the matter about her Aunt''s treatment with Liu Longwei over a cup of hot chocolate tea.


    "Let''s take a two weeks break." Liu Longwei said suddenly as he watched the snow fall.


    "Why did you say that all of a sudden." Chen Lihua asked with a surprised smile on her face.


    "It didn''t just come out. I''ve been planning for it with a any little time I get. And now, I''m done with the plans." Liu Longwei replied as he stared at her in a smile.


    "Oh! You decided to tell me about it after planning everything?." Chen Lihua asked in a surprised smile.


    "Yes. I will help you take a two weeks leave from the hospital, and the rest of this month." Liu Longwei announced as he sipped a mouthful of hot chocolate tea.


    "I''m fine with the two weeks leave, but don''t go beyond that. I don''t want to jeopardize with my work or bring about gossip simply because I have connections."

 Chapter 359 - Holiday Plans

    "I''m fine with the two weeks leave, but don''t go beyond that. I don''t want to jeopardize with my work or bring about gossip simply because I have connections."


    "You shouldn''t care about that you know." Liu Longwei said.


    "Well I have to. I get preferential treatment all the time because of you, and I''m sure they gossip about it behind me." Chen Lihua said with a little annoyance laced in her voice.


    "Baby come on, you shouldn''t care about it at all. This should be the least of your worries. You have the connection, and you are using it wisely. If your co-workers were in the same position as you, I''m very sure they would misuse it. But don''t worry, I won''t ask for leave on your behalf when it is not necessary." He assured her.


    "Okay, so where are we going to, Mr?." Chen Lihua asked as a smile appeared back on her face.


    Liu Longwei stared at her beautiful dimples leaned in close to peck them.


    "A hot spring (Onsen Ryokan) in Japan, Santa claus village in Finland, Manshausen island in Norway, and The blue Lagoon in Iceland."


    "Wow! That sounds like a lot." Chen Lihua exclaimed in surprise. "Why don''t you tell me about them?." She asked curiously.


    "Okay. Starting from the hot spring in Japan, we would visit a hot spring, and leave after two days. The santa claus village in Finland, I think three days is enough. The Manshausen island in Norway is a truly special place in Norway to experience real pure nature beauty of the Arctic scenery. We can try fishing there at night while watching the Northern Lights.


    "Hmmm, I can already see the beautiful scene in my head." Chen Lihua said as she closed her eyes in imagination.


    "What about the other one?." She asked with her eyes open.


    Liu Longwei went on to tell her about the blue lagoon in Iceland.


    At The Blue Lagoon in Iceland, you will be outfitted with a special electronic bracelet upon arrival that allows you to purchase food and drinks, and you''ll pay it off when you leave. If you lose this bracelet, you''ll be charged a penalty fee. If you need a towel or robe or slippers, you''ll have to pay to rent them.


    Most public pools make you shower before you enter the water, and the Blue Lagoon is no exception. The notable difference? Here, you shower sans bathing suit. It''s a little strange at first, but there are several closed stalls you can choose to shower in, so you don''t have to bare it all to the world.


    The property houses a hotel, restaurants, and banquet facilities, and also offers spa treatments that are done in-water, as you float on a rubber mat. A full hour-long massage in the water costs xxxx euros and a silica salt scrub, which uses Blue Lagoon minerals, is xxxx euros for 30 minutes.


    "This sounds interesting, I am already loving this. So how much are we spending on this trip?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Not much, it''s just a little token. The expenditures is not up to half of my salary in a month, so you don''t have to worry about it. But I promise to take you to more expensive places next year." Liu Longwei promised.


    "I''m not bothered about the price. As long as I will enjoy the view and have fun there, I don''t care how cheap it is. But how expensive it is, I will have to care about that because that''s someone''s hard earned money." Chen Lihua said the last part, a bit serious.


    "Sweetheart, it is worth it if you spend money and get good results." Liu Longwei responded.


    "I am not stingy you know, I am just being careful of the way money is spent, because it takes a lot of effort to earn it." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Mmmmm, I get the point my wife who spends money in shopping is telling me." LIu Longwei teased.


    Chen Lihua slapped his arm hard, but she felt as if she just hit a layer of cotton, because of all the layers of clothes he was putting on.


    "I know that I spend a lot of money when I''m shopping, but I don''t do that a lot. I know how to control myself."


    "Yeah, I agree with you on that." Liu Longwei replied, as he managed to hold in his laughter.


    It''s true his wife is careful about spending money, but that doesn''t apply when she sees the things she likes. She will totally forget about the money rules she made, and get that thing she wants.


    Chen Lihua has a big heart, and that''s why she buys things for people. For example, if she sees a dress that will fit anyone she knows, she will buy the dress and send it straight to the person. She likes buying things for people, and that is why she is a spendthrift. So most of the time, she avoids going to the shopping malls unnecessarily.


    "I want to buy some Christmas gifts for the children in my mum''s orphanage. I know my mum will be organizing a big Christmas party for them, but i still want to do something for those little kids." Chen Lihua said.


    "Alright. Just make arrangements for the presents, we will give them out once we get back to the country." Liu Longwei said.


    "When are we travelling?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "In two or three days time. I want us to be in the country to celebrate Christmas with the rest of our families." Liu Longwei replied and gave his reasons.


    "That would perfect. Hope you have a lot of money?." Chen Lihua asked in a smile.


    "Yes I do, why do you ask?."


    "That''s because, I am going to buy lots of presents for everybody." Chen Lihua announced happily.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he shook his head. "Don''t worry, your husband have lots of money that you can not squander in this life time."


    "What if I decide to donate your shares and properties as a give away?". Chen Lihua asked suddenly with a sweet smile on her face.

 Chapter 360 - I promise, You will enjoy every move

    "What if I decide to donate your shares and properties as a give away?". Chen Lihua asked suddenly with a sweet smile on her face.


    "Are you being serious right now?." Liu Longwei asked as he gave her a serious look. Was she serious with giving away everything he had worked hard for so many years?.


    "Come on, I was only joking. You needed to have seen the black lines on your face." Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly.


    "You naughty woman, don''t talk like that again. Which woman will want to give away everything her husband worked hard for years to earn?." Liu Longwei asked as he gently pinched her cheeks.


    Chen Lihua laughed softly before asking. "I have never seen you sick before, your immune system must be quiet strong."


    "Do you wish for your husband to be sick?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Kind of, I would love to see you in that condition, not for anything bad, but how you would act and be in control. You know, I have never seen the weak side of you before." Chen Lihua said as she got up to sit on his laps.


    Liu Longwei supported her back with his hand. "Well, it takes a lot of effort to see me sick. Let''s just say once or twice in a year, I get sick. It''s just like you said, my immune system is strong, and my antibodies have a strong self defense mechanism."


    "Wow! look at you, you must be very proud of yourself. But while you are at it, just don''t ever let me find out that you are sick, because I will make fun of you." Chen Lihua warned in a smile.


    "Don''t worry, you won''t get to have that opportunity, I will make sure of that. So do you want to know how else I take advantage of my strong body?." Liu Longwei asked in a low seductive voice as he kissed her neck.


    "You bad boy! Why don''t I show you some new dance moves I learned, and then you can show me the other things you do with your strong body." Chen Lihua suggested in a smile as she pecked his lips.


    "New dance moves? Okay, I would love to see it." He agreed in a smile.


    Chen Lihua led him to the gym room and tuned the music to a hip-pop song. She started with slow and seductive moves. She danced with her eyes on her husband.


    Then, she walked towards him and glided her behind against him. She walked away from him and danced on her own, with her flexible body in motion. She went ahead to do some crazy hip-pop dance moves, before returning to his side once again.


    She danced around him as he watched her in awe. Chen Lihua ended her dance with kissing him.


    "How did you see the dance." She asked, a little breathless.


    "I must say that you were so good. Who did you say taught you that.?" Liu Longwei inquired in surprise with his eyes glued to her face.


    "From the internet." She answered.


    "You were so good. Why don''t you entertain me once in a while, hmmmm?." He asked.


    "No troubles at all, I will do it for you. We can even do it together." She added in a smile


    "What do you think about us having s*x in the gym room?." Liu Longwei asked as he caressed her cheek.


    "What?! No can do." Chen Lihua replied after looking around the room.


    "We should try it, it will be fun." Liu Longwei suggested with a smile on his face.


    "Darling, we can''t do that here. I don''t feel secure doing it here. We are wearing so many clothes, and for us to do it here, we would have to take everything off. No, let''s go to the bedroom, I will agree to any style you want." Chen Lihua promised.


    She was wearing a pair of trousers, plus the top, and the big jacket. Obviously she would have to take everything off if she wanted to get serious there.


    "Do you promise to agree on any style at all?." Liu Longwei asked with a teasing smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua saw that smile on his face, and knew it wasn''t a good one, so she immediately added. "I agree to any style and position you want, but don''t just make me put that thing in my mouth."


    "What thing are you talking about?." Liu Longwei feigned ignorance as he took a slow dangerous step towards her.


    Chen Lihua took two steps backwards. "You know what I''m talking about." She said in reply.


    "Well I don''t know, so why don''t you remind me?." Liu Longwei replied as he continued advancing towards her.


    "Darling don''t you want to sleep with me again? If you take another step towards me, you can forget about hugging your wife to sleep this night." Chen Lihua threatened.


    Liu Longwei stopped in his steps as he let out a low chuckle. "Alright, let''s go to the bedroom." He conceded and stretched out his hand.


    Chen Lihua took his hand, and they two left for their bedroom.


    "Darling is this the style you wanted?." Chen Lihua asked with an uncomfortable look on her face as she knelt on the bed with her back facing Liu Longwei.


    "Yes. Sweetheart don''t worry, you will enjoy every move, I promise." Liu Longwei gave his word when he saw that she was uncomfortable.


    "You...Ah!..." Chen Lihua managed to say her before Liu Longwei managed to shut her up with his actions.


    He entered her from behind. With his hands on her b.r.e.a.s.ts, he continued to move in and out of her as they both m.o.a.ned in pleasure.


    That night, the tried two more positions before they called it a night.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua refused to get up from the bed. She was angry with her husband.


    "Sweetheart, let''s go for our morning exercise." Liu Longwei said to her in a gentle voice as he tapped her body gently.


    "Don''t touch me, I am not going anywhere with you. I begged you to let me go last night, but you refused. Now you want me to exercise with you, with my sore body? I''m not leaving this room." Chen Lihua said in a frown as she turned her body away from him. Now, she had her back facing him.

 Chapter 361 - Getting a romantic Massage from her husband

    "Don''t touch me, I am not going anywhere with you. I begged you to let me go last night, but you refused. Now you want me to exercise with you, with my sore body? I''m not leaving this room." Chen Lihua said in a frown as she turned her body away from him. Now, she had her back facing him.


    Liu Longwei was left speechless. Last night, she was the one that kept asking for more, and here she was blaming him.


    Liu Longwei lowered his body to kiss her cheeks, and Chen Lihua raised her hand and swung it towards his face, but he reacted quickly, and that was how he dodged that slap.


    "Sweetheart, why are you so angry? You kept asking for more last night, and I made sure to satisfy you. Why are you angry with me now?." Liu Longwei asked as he sat beside her.


    Chen Lihua turned to face. "When I asked for more, you kept giving it to me and I was happy and satisfied that you granted my wish. But what did you do when I asked you to stop? You kept coming at me that my body became tired and sore."


    "Sweetheart you can''t be selfish here. I satisfied you, but you didn''t want me to get satisfied? that''s not fair to me at all." Liu Longwei replied as he hugged her body.


    "Go away, don''t touch me. Even if what you said is true, that doesn''t mean my body will recover any faster." Chen Lihua said to him, rolling her eyes in the process.


    "My Love, don''t be angry, let me massage your body." Liu Longwei said in a smile as he helped her up from her lying position.


    Chen Lihua allowed him to massage her body as she sat on the bed in her thin night dress. She closed her eyes and enjoyed while his hands worked wonders on her body.


    "Do you like my hands on your body?." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears as his hands slowly moved from her shoulders to her chest. And before she could berate him, he had already gone back to massaging her shoulders.


    "I like it." Chen Lihua replied with her eyes closed.


    "If you want this kind of treatment everyday, I can do it. You just need to say a word, and it''s done." Liu Longwei said to her as his hands continued to be mischievous, but he didn''t go too far.


    Chen Lihua ignored his words as she said her deepest heart desire at the moment out loud. "I want more..."


    "You want more?." Liu Longwei asked with a satisfied smile on his face, and she nodded in reply.


    "I will satisfy you in a bit, hold on." Liu Longwei said as he stood up and walked into the walk-in closet. Without wasting time, he emerged few seconds later with a little bottle in his hand.


    "What took you so long?, I almost lost interest for the massage." Chen Lihua complained immediately she saw him.


    ''Did i take too long?.'' Liu Longwei thought.


    "I''m sorry, I went to get this lavender oil." Liu Longwei showed the small bottle to her as he sat beside her on the bed.


    Chen Lihua uncapped the bottle to inhale the fragrance. "Hmmmm it''s so nice." She said in satisfaction as she handed the bottle back to him.


    "You will enjoy the massage even more, I promise." Liu Longwei said as he slowly pulled her up from the bed, and led her out of the room.


    "Where are you taking me to?." Chen Lihua asked in confusion as she allowed him to lead her.


    "You will see. You don''t want to get the bed stained with the oil, do you?." Liu Longwei explained.


    Liu Longwei took her to a room on the first floor, it had two single beds and a few things in it.


    "Take a shower there and change into this." Liu Longwei said as he handed her a white bathrobe and a towel.


    "When did you turn this place into this? I can''t believe that I don''t even know what''s going on in my house." Chen Lihua grumbled as she took the things from his hands and went to take a shower.


    "The house is yours you know, you can always know what''s happening if you are interested. I plan to turn this place into our very own little spa." Liu Longwei informed.


    "Then what happens to going to the spa and beauty house once in a month at least?." Chen Lihua asked from the bathroom.


    "What I''m doing won''t change anything. I''m setting all these up for the rainy days." Liu Longwei said in reply.


    Few minutes later, Chen Lihua emerged from the bathroom to see her husband sitting on a stool, waiting for her.


    Liu Longwei walked towards her with a pleasant smile on his face. He stopped in front of her as his eyes roamed all over her body. Next, he stretched his hands to untie her bathroom, but she quickly held unto the bathrobe before he could see her n.a.k.e.dness.


    "Longwei! what are you doing?." She questioned with a frown on her face.


    "I''m trying to help you get undressed, or don''t you want the massage anymore?." He asked as a cunning smile appeared on his face.


    "Of course I still do." she replied in a firm voice.


    "Take off the clothe." He commanded as he stretched his hand towards her again.


    Chen Lihua quickly turned her back against him as she held onto the dress, tightly. "Why are you in such a rush, like you are the one in need of a massage instead of me?."


    Liu Longwei didn''t reply her, instead he swung into action. With a little force, he pulled the bathrobe off her body after a little struggle with her, leaving her body bare to his sight.


    With her arm trying to cover her b.r.e.a.s.ts, and the other her private area, she shouted almost in tears. "Longwei! You...you hooligan! What are you trying to do?!."


    Liu Longwei let out a chuckle on seeing her in a difficult situation with that perfect cute look, sitting on her face.


    "You asked for a massage, so I am giving it to you." Liu Longwei replied as he lifted her in his arms before placing her on one of the massage beds.

 Chapter 362 - A kiss to fulfill a request

    "You asked for a massage, so I am giving it to you." Liu Longwei replied as he lifted her in his arms before placing her on one of the massage beds.


    "Why do I feel that this is more than a massage?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Of course this is more than a massage. A husband is seeing his wife n.a.k.e.d, and even touching her all over. Tell me, why do you think something else wouldn''t happen?." Liu Longwei asked as a creepy smile turned up on his face.


    "Shit! This is a trap." Chen Lihua cursed.


    "Oh yes, a very big one at that. Since you refused to exercise this morning, I found another way for that. I found a solution to help your body relax, and that''s why i decided to give you a special massage right before we get down to work." Liu Longwei revealed as he helped her to lie on her stomach.


    "Can I say no?." Chen Lihua asked, almost in tears. If she could read his mind, she would have allowed the massage to end in their bedroom, but it''s too late to cry over split milk.


    "You can say no, but I won''t accept it...too late." Liu Longwei replied as he dropped some of the oil on her back.


    "Fine! Suit yourself, but you should lock the door first." Chen Lihua said, giving up completely as she placed her head on the bed.


    "The door is locked, you don''t have to worry about that. So, let''s get down to business." Liu Longwei said as he spread the oil all over her back with his palms.


    "Darling, please go easy on me." Chen Lihua pleaded in a soft voice.


    "I always will." Liu Longwei replied with a smirk.


    The end result of the massage was that both were late to work. Liu Longwei is a CEO, so he can report to work at any time, day, week, month or year, he is the Boss. But the case was different for Chen Lihua. She was an employee.


    "Longwei, you are not allowed to touch me for a whole week!." She screamed at Liu Longwei who was walking towards his car, but he didn''t bulge.


    He had a smile on his face as he entered his car. He was seriously enjoying his wife being furious.


    "I am dead serious Longwei! I will chop your fingers off if it touches a strand of hair on my body!." She threatened in a loud voice.


    Liu Longwei chuckled loudly with a hand over his mouth. He put his head through the window to look at his wife. "I love you sweetheart." He confessed in a loud voice as he smiled happily.


    "Love your head!." Chen Lihua cursed at him as she removed her shoe and threw it at the moving vehicle.


    Liu Longwei took his head back inside the car with a very big smile, sitting on his face. His wife has just made his morning cheerful.


    Chen Lihua was so angry as she watched the car drive off. Then she turned to look at the side, she saw to female servants staring at her.


    "What are you looking at?! Do you want me to get a frost bite before you bring my shoe over?!." She asked angrily.


    The two servants immediately brought her shoe over. One of them held her hand, while the other helped to put her shoe back on her foot.


    "Get the Bugatti over here." Chen Lihua ordered K2 who was standing beside the Grand Jeep Cherokee, and waiting for her to climb into it. He was indeed surprised by the new order.


    "But Ma''am, the heater in the Bugatti is not working well, it needs to be fixed. And we are supposed to come along with you by Boss''s order." K2 explained, trying to talk her out of it.


    "Shut your mouth and get the car I asked for!. I am warm enough!." She ordered as she rolled his eyes at him.


    "Yes Ma''am." K2 replied and sent an order for the car.


    When the car arrived, the driver who was one of the bodyguards, came out from the car and held the door open for her. Chen Lihua entered the car and he shut the car door for her.


    In less than five seconds she drove off, and K2 immediately gave the order to follow her. So her bodyguards followed her in the Grand jeep Cherokee.


    The next day, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went to the shopping mall to shop for new winter clothes for their trip.


    Liu Longwei liked to order customized clothes online, but Chen Lihua liked to go out to shop. So due to his wife''s influence, he now follows her to shop together. But that doesn''t stop him from continuing with his shopping habits.


    Two days later. Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei traveled for their holidays. They had a good time outside the country. They played games, did ice skating, watched the neon lights, tried different foods, went to the hot spring, went to the spa, they had a snowball fight, tried many different activities together.


    Any body that saw them together, would think of them as ''A perfect couple'' that didn''t have challenges, and would also want their relationsh.i.p.s to be like theirs.


    On their way back to the country, Chen Lihua begged Liu Longwei to make a stop at Philippines, Singapore and Indian.


    "What do you want to do there?." He asked her in surprise.


    "I want to have more fun." Chen Lihua replied in a smile.


    "Give me a kiss." Liu Longwei requested.


    Chen Lihua gave him more than a kiss. She kissed him deeply before looking up to him to ask, "Is it enough."


    "Yes. You are getting bolder as the day goes by." Liu Longwei said before giving the order and making contacts for their stay in the three countries his wife requested for.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came back to Country C on Christmas Eve (24th of December). To spend the night in their home before traveling to the Liu Villa the next day to celebrate Christmas with them.

 Chapter 363 - Oranges in Winter

    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came back to Country C on Christmas Eve (24th of December). To spend the night in their home before traveling to the Liu Villa the next day to celebrate Christmas with them.


    There were no outsiders, just few of the Liu family members. The Christmas celebration went on very well.


    Liu Huiling came with her daughters, but her husband was no where to be seen. Normally, Liu Huiling should be with her husband, and celebrating Christmas with his family. But because of the problems between them, Liu Huiling refused to be at the same space with her husband.


    And in other to achieve that, she called her mother earlier to inform her that hse and her daughters would be spending Christmas with them.


    Although Madam Liu knew that her daughter was currently in a rocky relationship with her husband, she couldn''t say anything apart from giving her advises since she refused to divulge anything to her.


    Liu Liwei who has been absent for a while because he has been filming a blockbuster Hollywood movie, where he got to feature in a major role, was currently present.


    He seemed to very happy to see his sister-in-law more than anybody. In fact, he was having a good time chatting with her in the kitchen as she kneaded a dough.


    "You said you missed me so much, but you didn''t care to give me a call." Chen Lihua said to him, not believing a word he said.


    "Sister-in-law, that''s because I didn''t have the time. Look at me, I have lost weight because there was no time to even have a proper me. I apologize." Liu Liwei said truthfully.


    Filming has been serious and strenuous that there was hardly any time to take a break and have proper food.


    Liu Liwei was filming an action movie where he had a major role to play so obviously, it wasn''t an easy task.


    "I believe you. Call me Lihua, that sister-in-law sounds like a long process." Chen Lihua said as she continued to knead the dough.


    "Alright. Lihua." Liu Liwei said as he gave it a try. But before he could be happy for too long, he felt his ear being pulled by somebody.


    "Ah Ah!" He cried out in pain. "Who dares to..." He suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence.


    "Ah! Big brother, it''s you? You may continue."Liu Liwei said in a smile when he saw Liu Longwei.


    "What was it you were about to say just now?." Liu Longwei asked in a threatening tone as he gave him a hard stare, while still pulling his ear.


    "Nothing Big brother, nothing." Liu Liwei answered in a smile and hissed out of pain because of his ear being pulled hard.


    "Darling let him go, that looks painful." Liu Longwei said to Liu Longwei in a smile.


    "Not yet, he needs to learn his lessons." Liu Longwei said to her before turning to look at his brother to ask, "What did you call my wife shortly before I came in?."


    "LI....Lihua." Liu Longwei replied in tension and screamed when he felt his ear being pulled harder.


    "Is that the right way to address your eldest brother''s wife?." Liu Longwei questioned.


    "No...no....no." Liu Liwei replied in pains.


    "Then what should you address her as?." Asked Liu Longwei.


    "Sister-in...." Liu Liwei stopped half way when he saw Chen Lihua''s raised brows. He immediately changed his words.


    ''Ah!.'' It''s so hard to please both husband and wife.'' He lamented in his heart.


    "Sister Lihua." He said at last, and Liu Longwei let go of his ear.


    "Good. Remember never to overstep your boundaries. You may be of the same age with my Baby but she is my wife, or you will see yourself quitting your acting career at the peak to manage one of our Company''s branches, far away from home." Liu LOngwei threatened.


    "Yes brother, I understand." Liu Liwei replied. "Sister Lihua, see you at the dinner table." He said to Chen Lihua before running away with a tail between his legs.


    When he was sure to have ran far away from the kitchen, he stopped at a place to breathe.


    "I can''t believe he threatened my life because i didn''t use honorific while addressing his wife. Bad big brother." Liu Liwei said in an annoyed tone and turned to leave when he had a strict female voice say, "Watch your steps young man."


    Madam Liu who was carrying some unpeeled oranges in a bowl said to him.


    "Oranges in Winter? Mum where did you get these oranges from?." Liu Liwei asked in surprise as he stretched forth his hand to pick an orange.


    Madam Liu moved the bowl of Oranges to the side, thereby evading the incoming hand. "Ju Ju gave them to me."


    "Sister Lihua''s mum? She must have put a lot of effort into getting these oranges during this winter season." Liu Liwei said in complimented with his eyes glued to the pretty looking oranges.


    He was contemplating if he should try taking another orange, and if his mother wouldn''t slap tears out of his eyes in the process. But on second thought, he gave up that idea.


    This was Christmas day, and his face needed to stay pretty for getting the attention of girls for the parties he would be attending.


    Madam Liu wanted to walk forward when she noticed how red his ear was.So she asked him worriedly, "What happened to you ears, why are they red?."


    Liu Liwei touched his ear as he grumbled in reply. "It''s big brother''s doing."


    "Tell me, what did you do?. My Longwei is not unreasonable, and I know he wouldn''t do that to you if it wasn''t necessary." Madam Liu said in support of her eldest son''s actions.


    Liu Liwei went on to explain what transpired in the kitchen. Instead of being consoled, he received a smack on his shoulder. Then he watched his mother walk away after leaving these words behind. "That serves you right".


    Liu Liwei was speechless as he watched his mother walk away.


    "I''m not surprised at all that you wouldn''t support me, I have always known that you picked me up from the streets when I was little, you guys just don''t want to admit it." He said in annoyed tone.


    "What did you say?!." An old stern voice asked from the side.

 Chapter 364 - Cooking together

    "I''m not surprised at all that you wouldn''t support me, I have always known that you picked me up from the streets when I was little, you guys just don''t want to admit it." He said in annoyed tone.


    "What did you say?!." An old stern voice asked from the side.


    Liu Liwei looked shocked to hear that voice. He immediately turned to see his grandmother standing by the side in a not so good looking facial expression.


    "Gran...Grandmother, what are you doing here, you should be resting?." He said nervously. a little scared of her punishment of kneeling with his hands raised. That would be such an embarrassing punishment for him on such a special day as today.


    Old Madam Liu ignored him and walked past him.


    "Grandma, do you need any help?." Liu Liwei called out, bit he received no reply.


    "Why do they all seem to be walking towards the direction of the kitchen, is something special going on there that I don''t know of?." He muttered to himself, but received an unexpected reply.


    "That''s because we are cooking together as a family." Liu Huiling replied in a kind smile. Then she ruffled his hair before walking towards the direction of the kitchen.


    ''How come no one told me?''. Liu Liwei asked himself. He immediately turned back to join the rest of the family in the kitchen.


    There was a harmonious atmosphere in the kitchen as the Liu family baked and cooked different dishes to celebrate Christmas Day.


    "Darling I will be right back, I need to take a bathroom break." Chen Lihua whispered to Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei stared at the pork he was taking care of and said to her, "Alright go ahead." He pecked her cheek before she left, and that caused an uproar in the kitchen.


    Chen Lihua ran away before anyone could start teasing her. She felt embarrassed and nearly cursed Liu Longwei in her head.


    "Where is Huang, I haven''t seen him, is he not a part of us?." Old Madam Liu who was sitting at a corner and picking vegetables, asked.


    "Mother, he is busy with work." Madam Liu explained. Liu Longwei turned to look at his mother before continuing with his work. He seemed to have a question mark on his head.


    "What kind of work is he so busy with that he can''t stay with his family?. Since he handed over the company to Longwei, he has become more busy than him." The Old lady complained, no longer finding the situation funny.


    "Liwei, go and call your father, he is in the bedroom. Tell him that Mother sent for him immediately." Madam Liu instructed.


    When Chen Lihua was done using the bathroom, she washed her hands before coming out. Walking down the hallway, she heard her Father-in-law''s voice.


    "No you can''t come here, are you out of your mind?......... I will look for a way to see you today." Liu Huang said to the person on the phone.


    Chen Lihua was surprised to hear her father-in-law talk like that, and that made her begin to wonder the identity of the person on the other side of the phone.


    Not interested in eavesdropping, Chen Lihua walked away. As she walked away, she saw her father-in-law some distance away with his back facing her, so she hurried away.


    Inside the kitchen, Chen Lihua met the Old Lady in a bad mood. She took quiet steps to Liu Longwei''s side.


    "Why does grandmother look unhappy?." She inquired.


    "You are back." Liu Longwei said. He glanced at his grandmother before looking back at his wife to reply, "Father is not here with us, so grandmother is not happy about that because she feels that he spends less time with his family. But it''s okay, Liwei has gone to call him over."


    "Oh! I saw father in the hallway, but he was on a call. As for your supposed brother who was sent to call him, he was no where on sight." Chen Lihua said to him in a low voice as she continued with her work.


    "I''m sure he has taken that opportunity to play around." Liu Longwei said in a smile.


    In the hallway, Liu Liwei approached his father who seemed to be in an argument with the person he was on call with.


    "Excuse me Dad." Liu Liwei said, successfully grabbing his attention.


    "Grandmother is unhappy with you, and wants you to come to the kitchen immediately." He informed.


    "Alright, tell her I will be there in a minute. You don''t need to wait for me as well." Liu Huang replied before putting the phone back to his ear.


    Liu Liwei nodded before walking away. And when he entered into the kitchen, he informed the Old Lady that his father would be there in a minute.


    "In a minute? What is taking so much of his time?." Asked the Old lady.


    "When I met him in the hallway, he seemed to be in a pretty serious call." Liu Liwei replied before going back to his work.


    The Old Lady rolled her eyes without saying anything.


    Two minutes later, Liu Huang came into the kitchen. He immediately went to the Old Lady''s side to apologize to her.


    The Old Lady didn''t forgive him immediately, She made sure to give him a good piece of her mind before she could listen to him.


    After settling with his mother, Liu Huang went to his wife''s side to help her out.


    After cooking together without the help of the servants, they whole family enjoyed the sumptuous dinner with some snacks by the side.


    And because of the snow that was falling. they couldn''t enjoy ice skating in the house, so they decided to gist over a cup of hot tea instead.


    During this time, Liu Huang gave an excuse that he had to meet someone urgently before rushing out immediately.


    The Old Lady said to her daughter-in-law in a calm manner. "Don''t worry, I will have a good talk with him when he gets back."


    Two hours later, Liu Huang came back with presents for everybody. And because of that, the Old Lady forgot to teach him a good lesson.


    That night, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei spent the night there.

 Chapter 365 - She is Pregnant?

    The next morning, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went back to their home to prepare for work. Chen Lihua had two major surgeries before she could rest for the year.


    As for Liu Longwei, he was so busy with the company, that he didn''t have the time to accompany his wife. And because of that, Chen Lihua optioned to keep herself busy at the hospital all day with consultancy, while managing the paper work for Aunt Lin to travel out for her cancer treatment.


    On the last day in the month of December, Aunt Lin sat down to have an alone time with her daughter.


    The previous night, Aunt Lin told her daughter to cancel any meetings she had for the next day because she wanted to have a deep conversation with her.


    "I know you have a boyfriend, and distance is the barrier. You should make out time to see him more often. You should settle down early like your cousin Lihua did. I don''t have the energy to start worrying about you." Aunt Lin said with hidden meanings behind her words.


    "Mum, you don''t have to look after me, I am an a.d.u.l.t now, I can take care of myself. And besides, I saw my boyfriend on Christmas Eve, you made sure of that." Changying said in reply.


    "Seeing him once a month is not enough. Since you two love yourself so much, you should create time for yourselves to meet and chat. Then if you want to get married, one of you will have to move locations and a host of other things you need to talk about. And this will not go on so well if you don''t meet each other to talk about it. See, you need to see him more often from next year, you need to spend quality time together." Aunt Lin advised.


    "Mum, I can take care of myself, we can take care of ourselves. You are traveling for your treatment four days after new year, which means that I would have to work my ass off till you are in good health and fit to come back to work. So I don''t have the time to spend quality time with my boyfriend. And you don''t need to worry about that because he understands me and what I am going through at the moment." Changying said in a worried tone.


    "I will send someone to give you a hand in the store while I''m gone. I have been inconsiderate towards you for a long time, it''s time to set things right." Aunt Lin said with a tone full of regret.


    "What about your treatments? You need someone to be there for you, you need me." Changying said, taking her hands in hers.


    "I thought we agreed that your father would go with me, so why are you bringing up that topic again?." Aunt Lin asked in surprise.


    "Mum why did you pick father instead of me, I could have been a better option?." Changying asked curiously.


    "Your father is the better option. He is taking about a month to two months leave from work. But if we are delayed because of my treatment, then he can work from there, and if ithat is not an option, he is ready to quit his job in other to take care of me. As for you, you are still young and have a long road ahead of you. You need to stay here." Aunt Lin said in a final statement.


    "Alright mother, I will listen to you." Changying conceded.


    Mother and daughter talked about some other important matters that needed much attention.


    On New Years'' Eve, they traveled to the Chen Villa just like other members of the Chen family to celebrate the New Year. It was a full house, as the house was decorated with New Years'' decorations, and the happy laughter from the family members.


    Lady Chen was happy, but she still missed her daughter. Now her only child has been married out, she still feels a bit lonely.


    Sometimes, she just wished she could have more children, but that wasn''t possible since she couldn''t conceive for years.


    Since her husband came back she has been having this weird thought of trying to see if she could conceive again, but she keeps fighting that thought back.


    She already had a grown up daughter who was already married and about to start having her own children, that would be weird and unacceptable to her if she would give birth at this stage of her life. That would be shameless of her to do.


    So Lady Chen immediately buried that thought in her head, and she never mentioned to anybody including her best friend Madam Liu.


    It''s good that she got rid of that thought soon, otherwise if she actually got pregnant and gives birth to another child at this Stage, Chen Lihua might really disown her, given her temper.


    On New Years'' Eve, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were at the Liu Villa to celebrate New Year with some of the extended family members.


    The house was was bustling with laughter and merriment. There was joy and unity among the Liu family members.


    Liu Dongmei was present today with her daughter and husband.


    They set up a tent and a bonfire at the back house with decorations. They enjoyed barbecue and some drinks while waiting for the New Year''s count down.


    Ten seconds to New Year, they all started a count down. And immediately the counted On one, they screamed ''HAPPY NEW YEAR'' and released fire works. They hugged and greeted each other, HAPPY NEW YEAR''.


    Old Madam Liu joined them to stay up late as she made sure to have rested enough so she could stay up late and do the countdown with them. She didn''t want to miss out on anything at all.


    Because of the whole jumping and the stress for tonight''s preparation, Chen Lihua felt a little dizzy and her sight a little blurry. She almost collapsed to the ground if not for Liu Longwei''s foresight.


    He saw her about to fall, and immediately caught her before she could land on the ground. That action, drew the attention of the other family members as they circled around them, worried.


    "What happened to Lihua?." Madam Liu asked as she rushed over.


    "I don''t know, I saw her falling, so I caught her." Liu Longwei replied in a calm manner as he lifted Chen Lihua up.


    "Bring her to over here." Old Madam Liu said from the side.


    Liu Longwei immediately carried his unconscious wife to his grandmother''s side. He sat on a chair with his wife on his laps.


    "Give me her hand." Old Madam Liu instructed, and Liu Longwei immediately raised Chen Lihua''s right hand for her.


    Old Madam Liu shifted the clothes away from her (Chen Lihua) wrist Before placing two of her fingers on her wrist.


    Few seconds later, The Old Lady smile and looked at everybody as she calmed them down.


    "Don''t worry, she is fine. She only fainted because she was stressed this period despite being pregnant."


    "She is pregnant?!." Everybody chorused together in surprise.

 Chapter 366 - Good News at the beginning of New Year.

    "Don''t worry, she is fine. She only fainted because she was stressed this period despite being pregnant."


    "She is pregnant?!." Everybody chorused together in surprise.


    "Yes she is pregnant, and she looks like she is about two months gone." Old Madam Liu replied in a happy smile.


    "Sister-in-law is pregnant?." Liu Liwei asked seeking for a confirmation.


    "Yes." Old Madam Liu confirmed.


    "Wow! This is indeed a wonderful news to start the New Year with." Liu Dongmei said as she smiled brightly.


    "Yes, this is indeed a good year for us." Liu Huiling added happily.


    "Longwei, take your wife inside, she will be better after she has rested." Old Madam Liu instructed.


    Liu Longwei gladly carried Chen Lihua inside the house. He gently laid her on their bed and covered her with the duvet.


    Next, he sat beside her on the bed with a blooming smile on his face as he took one of her hand in his.


    "Sweetheart, you are carrying our child. We are going to be parents soon." He said to her softly before kissing her hand and putting it back inside the duvet.


    outside...


    "Mother are you sure you made the right diagnosis, is Lihua really pregnant?." Liu Huang asked with a little doubt in his mind.


    "Have you forgotten who I am?. How can I carry out the wrong diagnosis or tell you what I am not sure of? My granddaughter-in-law is definitely pregnant, and she is almost two months gone. We need a doctor to check up on her to confirm how far long she has gone." The Old Lady replied.


    "I am sorry Mother for doubting you. I will immediately contact an obstetrician for Lihua once she is awake. Now that she is pregnant, we have to keep a good eye on her." Liu Huang suggested.


    "Leave that for Longwei to handle, I am sure he would be very happy to take on all responsibilities pertaining to his wife''s pregnancy." Madam Liu said from the side.


    "That''s right, brother wouldn''t want this kind of help, given how possessive he is towards Lihua." Liu Dongmei added.


    "It''s okay." Liu Huang said in agreement.


    Because of the good news and how worried they were about Chen Lihua''s health, they didn''t party for too long before going into the house.


    "Where are you gong to?." Mu Boqin asked his wife, Liu Dongmei who was walking towards the direction of the stairs.


    "I am going to see my sister-in-law to know how she and the baby are doing." Liu Dongmei replied without looking back.


    Mu Boqin immediately chased after her.


    "Where are you going to, are you trying to tag along because you can''t give your wife a break?." Liu Dongmei teased as they walked up the stairs side by side.


    "What is going on in that head of yours? I am going to congratulate my friend on becoming a father." Mu Boqin said as he pinched her cheek befpre running up the remaining stairs, leaving her alone.


    "Heh! How dare you leave me behind after committing a crime? I should lead the way, not you." Liu Dongmei shouted as she began to run up the stairs in annoyance.


    "Well I can find my way thank you." Mu Boqin replied her as he increased his pace.


    Mu Boqin stopped outside Liu Longwei''s bedrrom. He knocked on the door as Liu Dongmei caught up to him.


    "How dare you behave this way towards me? No s*x for you tonight." Liu Dongmei threatened in a loud voice.


    Mu Boqin immediately covered her mouth with his palm as he looked around their surroundings in vigilance.


    "How can you say that out loud? We are in your parents house, you can''t talk like that here." Mu Boqin sid in fright.


    Liu Dongmei bit his flesh and he screamed as he quickly took his hand away from her mouth in pain.


    "This is my father''s house, so I am free to talk the way I want." Liu Dongmei said with puffed up cheeks.


    "But you are standing in front of the door to my bedroom, and my wife is sleeping inside. You should watch your language and mind the tone of your voice." Liu Longwei instructed after he opened the door to his bedroom from inside unexpectedly, surprising his sister and his friend.


    "Brother, I cam to see sister-in-law, can I come in?." Liu Dongmei asked in a smile.


    "No, you are too loud. Remain outside." Liu Longwei immediately rejected her.


    "Brother I am not loud. It''s Boqin that is making me shout." Liu Dongmei immediately shifted the blame to her husband.


    "What?! Me? Who was the one that was screaming that she wouldn''t give me s*x tonight?!." Mu Boqin asked in surprise before reminding her of her words earlier.


    "You....you that one doesn''t count at all." Liu Dongmei quickly replied before turning to say to her brother.


    "Brother, don''t mind him. I never screamed anything like that." She said in denial.


    "I heard everything from inside, you two made sure of that, thanks to you being loud." Liu Longwei exposed her immediately.


    "Brother I''m sorry. Can I see sister-in-law now?." Liu Dongmei pleaded.


    "No, look for somewhere else to continue your talk love talk. And besides, your sister-in-law is still asleep, I wouldn''t want her to be disturbed at this moment. You can come back to see her after she has woken up." Liu Longwei said to both of them before shutting the door on their faces.


    Liu Dongmei stared at the closed door in anger. She raised her fist to hit the door, but she decided against it when she thought of her brother killing her for disturbing his wife.


    "Honey let''s go. We will come back to see sister-in-law after she has had enough rest." Mu Boqin said in a calm voice as he tried to take her hand.


    Liu Dongmei swatted his hand away. "Who is your honey? Did we come here together?." She asked as she walked away in annoyance, leaving him behind.


    "Baby are you angry?." Mu Boqin asked as he chased after her.


    Liu Dongmei stopped and turned around to look at him. "We are not sleeping together tonight. So find where you will spend the night."


    "Honey what will your family think of us when they find out about this?." Mu Boqin asked, trying to talk her out of it.


    "Too bad I can''t control their thoughts. In fact, they are free to think whatever they like, I do not care. But be sure of not to come into my bedroom tonight, unless you want to be accused of r.a.p.e." Liu Dongmei threatened him before walking away, leaving him flabbergasted.


    "Babe is it possible for a man to r.a.p.e his wife." Mu Boqin asked as he followed behind.


    "Try me tonight if you want to know the answer to your question." Liu Dongmei said as she continued in her steps.

 Chapter 367 - Not happy with the news

    "Babe is it possible for a man to r.a.p.e his wife." Mu Boqin asked as he followed behind.


    "Try me tonight if you want to know the answer to your question." Liu Dongmei said as she continued in her steps.


    Mu Boqin stood in shock for a few seconds before chasing after her.


    .............


    "Mother, do you think I should inform Ju Ju of the good news now?." Madam Liu asked the Old Lady in an excited voice.


    She was somehow scared that the pregnancy would turn out to be false. But if not that she knew the Old Lady''s origins, she would never have believed her in the first place.


    "Let''s wait for Lihua to wake up and for the doctor to check up on her to confirm how far long she''s gone." The Old Lady suggested.


    Liu Longwei''s bedroom


    Liu Longwei was sitting beside Chen Lihua who was still asleep. He clasped her hand and kept smiling. He was truly happy that he would soon become a father.


    Since he has called a doctor over, his mind was a bit relaxed. But he just couldn''t wait to share the good news with his wife.


    Few hours later, Liu Longwei felt some movements from his side, so he opened his eyes sharply to check on his wife. He watched his wife in a smile as she slowly woke up.


    Chen Lihua struggled to open her eyes and when she did so, she felt as if she was in a foreign place, so she looked around her. She turned to her right to see a face peering at her from a close range.


    "Where am I ?." She asked as she recognized her husband''s face, while trying to sit up on the bed despite the confusion.


    Liu Longwei immediately assisted her to sit up while saying to her, "Take it easy. You are in our bedroom, you fainted some hours ago, so I brought you here to take a rest."


    "I fainted? That explains why I can only recall being at the tent and celebrating New Year, but couldn''t remember any other thing that happened after that." Chen Lihua said and sighed thereafter.


    "How long have I been out?." She inquired as she rested her back on the pillow Liu Longwei put behind her.


    "Let''s say five hours." Liu Longwei replied.


    "What?! I''ve been out for that long?! I think my body was stressed out, that should be the only proper explanation for this." Chen Lihua said as she closed and opened her eyes.


    She was surprised to here that she has been passed out for so long. That has never happened to her before. She has no memory of fainting before, maybe she has fainted before but can''t remeber because it has been far too long since the incident took place.


    "Yes, you are right. You and the baby have been stressed out for a long time, that''s why you fainted." Liu Longwei said in agreement, revealing the good news to her at the same time.


    "Did I hear you say, me and the baby? I guess I''m not the only one that passed out too." Chen Lihua scoffed.


    "Sweetheart, I am serious here. You are pregnant, and we are going to be parents to a little bun soon." Liu Longwei said while staring at her with a serious look, to show that he wasn''t messing with her.


    "Darling look, I am not pregnant. I know I have been stressed because of certain incidents that happened before, and then I have been busy at the hospital and with the celebrations which took a toll on me. All these things have affected me, and caused me to become weak. But trust me, I am not pregnant." Chen Lihua smiled at the end of her statement, not believing him at all.


    "Baby listen to me. When you fainted few hours ago during the jubilation, Grandma diagnosed you. She said you were pregnant, and almost two months gone." Liu Longwei revealed.


    "Grandma said I''m pregnant after diagnosing me? How in the world is that even possible?. Can she really tell who is pregnant?." Chen Lihua asked in serious doubt.


    "I will not blame you for the doubts. But here is the reality, Grandma came from a family of Chinese traditional doctors. Her ancestors were Royal physicians, and this is the reason she is respected in the society. Although she has stopped practicing the Chinese medicine, she is still good at the inherit techniques." Liu Longwei explained.


    "Grandmother came from the blood line of Royal physicians?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise, totally forgetting the topic of her being pregnant.


    "Yes, so her diagnosis can''t be wrong." Liu Longwei added.


    "But I don''t feel pregnant. No, I can''t be pregnant, I am not even ready to become a mother." Chen Lihua said worriedly as she stood up from the bed immediately.


    She suddenly felt dizzy, so she held her head with her hands to steady her sight. Liu Longwei immediately pulled her to the bed gently.


    "Sweetheart you need to be careful. Please sit on the bed and don''t get up, I will go and bring the doctor up here." Liu Longwei said as he placed her legs on the bed and covered them with the warm blanket.


    "The doctor is here? I will go down to see her." Chen Lihua said as she made a move to get up from the bed, but Liu Longwei stopped her.


    "No need, the doctor will come up here to see you. I don''t want the whole family surrounding you or making a fuss if you go downstairs. But if you are up here, I can control the people that will try to enter our bedroom." Liu Longwei gave his reasons.


    "Alright get the doctor, I will be waiting here." Chen Lihua replied, in a conflicted tone.


    She was thinking of the possibility of being pregnant when she wasn''t ready at all.


    Liu Longwei could tell that she wasn''t happy or excited with the news, but he didn''t say anything. He made sure she was sitting comfortably on the bed before leaving the bedroom.

 Chapter 368 - Congratulations, you are pregnant

    She was thinking of the possibility of being pregnant when she wasn''t ready at all.


    Liu Longwei could tell that she wasn''t happy or excited with the news, but he didn''t say anything. He made sure she was sitting comfortably on the bed before leaving the bedroom.


    It was New Year Day, so it was a public holiday. Getting a doctor to come to your house on this day was something impossible that can only be made possible if you have the connection and power to do so.


    Liu Longwei came downstairs and went into the room where they received visitors. He saw the doctor in a conversation with his mother. His sister Huiling and his grandmother were also present.


    "How is Lihua, has she woken up?." Madam Liu asked excitedly once she noticed her son''s presence.


    "She is fine, she is awake now." Liu Longwei replied neutrally.


    "You shouldn''t have left her alone in her condition, Since you came to get the doctor, you shuld have asked a servant to do that." Old Madam Liu berated him.


    "I''m sorry grandma." Liu Longwei apologiszed.


    Liu Huiling observed her brother and knew that something was not right. Her brother didn''t look happy like he was earlier when he found out that his wife was pregnant, something must have happened.


    "Brother you don''t look happy, is everything alright?." Liu Huiling asked in a low voice as she walked beside him.


    "Everything is fine." Liu Longwei replied.


    Since her brother didn''t want to talk about it, Liu Huiling let him be.


    When Liu Longwei left to get the doctor, Chen Lihua sat obediently on the bed while waiting for his return. But her mind was in array.


    Although she agreed with Liu Longwei to take care of the baby if she became pregnant during the time she was not ready, she still did not know how to handle the situation now that it was a reality.


    She didn''t see this coming at all.


    Still in deep thought, Liu Longwei came into the bedroom with the doctor. Madam Liu and Old Lady Liu followed as well.


    As for Liu Huiling, she waited outside the bedroom. And when Liu Dongmei came over and was about to knock on the door, she stopped her.


    "Brother would be annoyed if you disturb them, just wait here quietly with me. We can go in after the doctor comes out." Liu Huiling advised.


    "Why is brother acting this way, I just want to see Lihua and know how the baby is doing." Liu Dongmei complained.


    "Let''s go and sit over there as we wait." Liu Huiling suggested as she dragged her away before her loud voice would anger their brother.


    In the room, the obstetrician displayed her equipment before she proceeded to check on Chen Lihua. She checked her heartbeat and pulse.


    "When last did you see your period?." The doctor asked her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at Liu Longwei before keeping her head low. Then she answered in a soft tone. "Two months ago."


    Liu Longwei looked surprised that she didn''t see her period for that long, but she didn''t mention anything about it, while on the other hand, Madam Liu and Old Madam Liu smiled.


    "From her pulse, she is definitely pregnant, but we still need to confirm it through a test since it''s urgent. We are not at the hospital, so we can not do a lab test with her blood, so I brought a pregnancy test kit." The doctor said as she took out a pregnancy test kit from her bag.


    She opened the packet and took out the kit before passing it to Chen Lihua. She instructed her on how to use it, but she didn''t explain the lines that indicated if she was pregnant. She did that on purpose.


    Chen Lihua took the kit from her and went into the washroom. She emerged two minutes later with the test kit in her hand.


    She passed the test kit to the doctor who took it from her and glanced at the lines on the screen.


    The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are pregnant."


    A slight smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face, a happy smile that he couldn''t hide.


    Chen Lihua sat on the bed in shock. Madam Liu thought that she was shocked due to happiness, so she she went to her side to hug her. "Lihua dear, congratulations. You are going to be a mother soon. That''s right, I need to call your mother and inform her of the wonderful news."


    Madam Liu left her side and went out of the room to inform Lady Chen of the good news over the phone.


    Old Madam Liu went to Chen Lihua''s side to congratulate her.


    Chen Lihua could see how happy the Old Lady was, so she smiled as well and conversed with her before she left to take a rest.


    Because of her age, she got tired so easily, and since it was still early in the morning, she needed to get some rest.


    Madam Liu came back into the room after the call. "Lihua dear, your mother was so happy when she heard the news, and she can not wait to see you. I bet she would come over this evening if someone doesn''t hold her back. I will send Mother to her room and make some delicious healthy food for you and the baby.


    Madam Liu left the bedroom happily after that.


    "Can you tell me the date you last saw your period?." The doctor asked Chen Lihua.


    "Please give me a minute." Chen Lihua said as she took her phone from the bedside table. She opened an app (a period tracker) in her phone and clicked a few things before telling the doctor the exact date she saw her last period.


    The doctor also tapped her phone screen before saying to them. "From the calculation, you are almost eight weeks pregnant."


    "I will see you two at the hospital tomorrow." The doctor said in a smile as she packed her things before leaving the room.


    Liu Huiling who has been waiting outside the room, approached the doctor. She exchanged greetings to her and engaged in a little conversation with her, as she escorted her. But she made sure to drag Liu Dongmei with her, just in case she thought of barging into their brother''s room because of her impatience.

 Chapter 369 - The one person he can not do without

    "Sweetheart." Liu Longwei called out as he sat on the bed beside her.


    "mmmmm" Chen Lihua hummed in reply.


    "Are you not happy about the baby?." He asked in concern.


    "I''m just having mixed feelings. You know, I told you earlier that I didn''t want to have children now because of my career."


    "And we agreed that if a child should come before you are ready, we would take care of it together, have you forgotten that already?". Liu Longwei reminded in a low voice as he stared right into her eyes.


    "I didn''t forget what we talked about, it''s just that I didn''t take it serious, I didn''t know I would become pregnant so soon. I didn''t panic when I didn''t see my period for two months because I thought it didn''t come because of the stress and mental breakdown, but who knew it didn''t come because I was pregnant." Chen Liua said in creased brows.


    "Are you saying you didn''t take my words serious?." Liu Longwei asked in a disappointed tone.


    "No, I didn''t mean that. It''s the situation I didn''t take serious not your words." Chen Lihua clarified immediately when she saw that he was not happy.


    "It''s alright. You are carrying our child now, so you should be happy. The baby is your own flesh and blood, you just have to accept the fact that you are pregnant. Don''t mind your work, I will take care of it."

    "Darling I''m sorry for my behavior earlier. I was worried about my work, but now it''s fine. This is our child, and I will take care of it. My child comes first, you second, and then my work." Chen Lihua said in a smile.


    "What?. That''s not going to happen. Sweetheart, you have to always remember the fact that I am the no 1 in your heart, the baby can line up behind me." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.


    "hahahhahha...." Chen Lihua chuckled as her face brightened up.


    "Sweetheart, it''s not funny, I''m serious here." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone. He would never allow anyone to steal his place in his wife''s heart.


    "Alright...alright, I know you are serious. Noted." Chen Lihua gave in to him, but she still could not control her laughter seeing him with that look.


    Just then, a knock sounded on their door. Liu Huiling and Liu Dongmei walked into the room after their brother opened the door for them.


    "Congratulations sister-in law..." Liu Dongmei said excitedly as she ran over to Chen Lihua''s side to give her a hug.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua replied in a smile as she reciprocated the hug.


    "Congratulations Lihua." Liu Huiling greeted as she hugged her.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "Brother, so you are going to have a little one running around by your side soon? Who knows if your child will be scared of you, given how serious you are." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Why would my child be scared of me?." Liu Longweim asked in confusion. He didn''t see any reason why his child would be afraid of him, that is not normal.


    "You always have this unapproachable stance. A.d.u.l.ts can''t get close to you, then what do you think a child will do?. Have you wondered why our children are not close to you but prefers to play with Liwei?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "It doesn''t count. I don''t know how to relate with children, so that''s the reason they don''t come to me, because I can not entertain them. But the good news is that I would soon be a father, so I can learn." Liu Longwei said as a proud smile appeared on his face.


    "Wow! Did brother smile now?." Liu Dongmei asked as a surprised smile appeared on her face. She turned to look at her elder sister.


    "Huiling did you see that smile?." She asked.


    "I did, I saw his smile that can not be bought with money." Liu Huiling replied in a smile.


    "The only person that brings a genuine smile to Brother''s face is his Lihua." Liu Dongmei teased.


    "Have you started walking on the designs for our new project?." Liu Longwei asked, suddenly changing the topic.


    "Brother are you serious right now? This is new year, we just entered it few hours ago. How can you be talking about work now? Sometimes I wonder if sister-in-law was bling to agree to marry a boring person like you." Liu Dongmei said in an annoyed tone.


    "What did you say?!" Liu Longwei asked as black lines appeared on his face, and that left Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling, chuckling softly.


    "Nothing." Liu Dongmei replied immediately in a scred tone.


    "I want you to brief me on the new designs you''ve got for our new project, tomorrow''s morning." Liu Longwei instructed before walking away.


    "What the hell! Brother this is a nightmare that you are trying to construct!." She screamed at him, but she received no reply as she watched him enter his walk-in closet, and shutting the door behind him.


    After Liu Longwei disappeared, Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling laughed their asses out.


    "Ladies, this is not funny. This is my happiness we are talking about." Liu Dongmei said in annoyance as she glanced at the two women laughing at her.


    "I have always warned you to watch your mouth when you are with him, but you never listen, and you never seem to learn from your past mistakes and the lessons." Liu Huiling said to her.


    "How can I watch my words when I''m talking to my brother?." Liu Dongmei asked whist rolling her eyes.


    "Have you seen where talking to your brother without watching your mouth has led you to now?." Liu Huiling asked, rolling her eyes in the process.


    "Lihua, has Brother ever been mean to you?." Liu Dongmei inquired, as she doesn''t seem to understand why she gets to be treated that way by her Elder brother.


    "He has never been mean to me." Chen Lihua replied in a smile. She was proud of that fact.


    "How do you think Brother would dare to be mean to one person he can not do without?." Lu Huiling asked her, while wondering the kind of dumb brain her junior sister had.

 Chapter 370 - Lady Chens call

    "How do you think Brother would dare to be mean to one person he can not do without?." Lu Huiling asked her while wondering the kind of dumb brain her junior sister had.


    "Lihua now that you''re pregnant, you have us to take good care of you. If you have any questions, you can ask us." Liu Huiling turned to Chen Lihua to say.


    "Thank you, Sister Ling, I will be troubling you in the future." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling didn''t stay long with her. They chatted with her for a few more minutes before leaving.


    "They have left?." Liu Longwei asked as he stepped out of the walk-in closet a minute later.


    "Yes." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    Liu Longwei walked towards her. He sat on the bed beside her and held her hands as he gently squeezed them.


    "Thank you for carrying our baby." Liu Longwei said as he kissed the back of her hands.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she leaned on his shoulder.


    At the other Villa, the Chen Villa, Lady Chen was so happy to receive such good news at the break of the new year''s day.


    She immediately shared the good news with all the Chen family members.


    And with great joy in their hearts, they celebrated the good news and even popped some wine.


    Lady Chen was overjoyed that she became restless and impatient. She couldn''t wait to hear from her daughter, so she picked up her phone to make a call, but Chen K stopped her.


    He took the phone from her hands as he said to her with a smile.


    "I know you are happy and worried. You can''t wait to speak with our daughter. But you have to exercise a little patient. Our daughter is in safe hands".


    "How can I stay calm. My daughter has been pregnant all this while, and nobody knew about it. They had to find out because she fainted." Lady Chen said in reply.


    "Alright. If you want to speak with our daughter, go ahead. But you have to allow her rest for some hours." Chen K instructed.


    Lady Chen agreed on the spot. But what was it that she did when she was left alone? She called her daughter immediately.


    So Chen Lihua who was snuggled in her husband''s embrace and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the call.


    "I will get the phone for you." Liu Longwei said as he stood up to get the phone. He passed the phone to her without checking the caller ID.


    Chen Lihua took the phone from him. She checked her caller ID and smiled.


    "It''s my mum, seems like she can not wait any longer." She said to him.


    "Hello, Mum." Chen Lihua greeted with a smile even though her mother couldn''t see it.


    "My Baby congratulations! You are going to be a mother soon. I am so happy for you. I have already informed the rest of the family, they are happy to share the good news with us. Everybody is excited to hear the news that we celebrated it. How are you? How is the baby? What did the doctor say after the checkup? Have you eaten? Do you feel any...."


    "Mum! Calm down, take it easy with the questions. I''m fine, and the baby is fine as well. Longwei and I will go to see the doctor tomorrow, and then we will find out about a lot of things". Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "That''s good. How is Longwei? How did he react when he found out about the pregnancy?." Lady Chen inquired.


    "Longwei is fine. I do not know how he reacted because he passed out. But he is happy, and can''t wait to be a father already." Chen Lihua responded happily as she glanced at Liu Longwei, who smiled back at her.


    "That''s good. Have you eaten?." Lady Chen asked.


    "Not yet, but mother has gone to make me breakfast." She replied.


    "Okay. Pass the phone to my son-in-law." Lady Chen requested.


    Liu Longwei took the phone from her. "Hello, Mum."


    "Congratulations Longwei!." Lady Chen announced excitedly as she went on to converse with him. She gave him some helpful advice.


    After the call, the time was just right for Madam Liu to come knocking on their door.


    She came to tell Chen Lihua that the food was ready.


    At the breakfast table, Chen Lihua was the center of attention. Her husband and mother-in-law kept piling up food for her.


    "Lihua dear, eat this it''s good for Vitamins and Minerals." Madam Liu advised as she put some vegetables in front of her.


    "You are too thin, eat more." Liu Longwei said as he put more food on her plate.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the food before her as she chewed on the one in her mouth. Then she glanced at her Liu Longwei and Madam Liu, who in turn had smiles on their faces as they returned the gaze.


    Chen Lihua then glanced at other members of the family at the big dining table and found out that they all had their gazes on her. But when they found out she was looking their way, they immediately lowered their heads to eat their food.


    Chen Lihua looked away and moved her gaze back to the food before her.


    Old Madam Liu glanced at Chen Lihua and saw that she wasn''t looking too well, so she said to her with a smile.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/lady-chen''s-call_50486300209374542 for visiting.


    "Lihua, you have to eat for you and the baby. You fainted earlier because you''ve been stressed for a long time. You need to eat good food to notorious your body."


    "Thank you, grandma." Chen Lihua replied after she swallowed the food in her mouth. Then she picked up her spoon and began to eat.


    Chen Lihua made sure to eat everything in her plate.


    After breakfast, Old Madam Liu instructed Liu Longwei to take a walk with Chen Lihua so her food could digest easily, since she looked uncomfortable.


    "Mother, but the weather cold, is it advisable?." Madam Liu asked.


    "It''s snowing. Although the weather is cold, a five minutes walk when dressed up warmly, will not do any harm. Besides, who said they can only walk around outside? What happened to the corridors and verandas in this Big house?." The Old Lady asked.

 Chapter 371 - Movements restricted

    Chen Lihua being with child is indeed a great news to both families. It seems like they have always wanted them to have their children. But since they couldn''t interfere in their relationship, they kept mute and watched on.


    Now discovering this good news, they are very excited and can not wait for the child to be born.


    After taking a walk to help her food digest, Chen Lihua went back to her and Liu Longwei''s bedroom.


    While walking up the stairs, Liu Longwei kept telling her to be careful and to watch her steps.


    "Why are you so worked up? I''ve been going up these stairs for a long time all by myself, so what is the difference now?". Chen Lihua asked.


    "Before, you climbed the stairs all by yourself, but now, you are not alone....you are with child, and that is the difference." Liu Longwei reminded.


    "Alright I know, I will be more careful." Chen Lihua replied as she allowed him to guide the rest of her way, up the stairs.


    Lady Chen planned to go and check up on her daughter at the Liu Vila later today, but she was stopped by Chen K, just after she dressed up.


    "Hubby please....". Lady Chen pleaded as she dropped her handbag on the bed.


    "There is no way I''m letting you go to the Liu Villa." Chen K said stubbornly.


    "But it''s our daughter I''m going to check up on." Lady Chen clarified.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/movements-restricted_50714376914652400 for visiting.


    "I thought you did enough of that when you phoned her earlier?" Chen K exposed her.


    "You saw me?" Lady Chen asked in surprise.


    "I heard you." Chen K answered.


    "Hubby, please let me go and see our daughter, she needs me..." Lady Chen pleaded again.


    "No. Who knows if your visit won''t turn into a vigil. Stay here and plan for the party today. You will have more than enough opportunities to see visit our daughter after she returns to her house." Chen K said as he sat on the couch in the room.


    "Hmm!" Lady Chen sighed angrily.


    Her plans have been ruined by this man, and she is not happy about it.


    "Since you don''t want me to visit our daughter, please leave my bedroom, you have overstayed your welcome here." She said, chasing him out from her room.


    Chen K glared at her with an annoyed look.


    "Stop glaring at me and find your way." Lady When insisted as she sat on her bed, with enough gap between them.


    "Fine! I will leave, as far as it will make you not to step out from this house today." Chen K said as he stood up from her bed and walked out from her bedroom after giving her one last look.


    Lady Chen stomped her foot in annoyance, before standing up and walking away to change out from her dress.


    Since Chen K came back, he has been sharing a separate bedroom from her, simply because she didn''t want it.


    No matter Chen K''s pleadings to her, she refused to make any adjustment.


    Lady Chen planned on ignoring Chen K throughout the new year''s day, but she found out that she was wrong, so she changed her decision.


    Her husband knew her very well.


    He knew that she would spend the rest of the day, and possibly the night at the Liu''s Villa if care was not taken.


    Secondly, she was Chen''s family''s Matriarch, who was she leaving her duties for?


    Around 4 pm, both families started the party for new year''s day.


    Chen Lihua was not allowed to do anything, other than to eat, drink, and watch the fun.


    Just sitting there and not participating in any activity, was driving her crazy. She was feeling very bored and out of her mind.


    Not being able to swallow these down, Chen Lihua whispered to Liu Longwei who was sitting beside her and also not partaking in the activities.


    "Darling, help me beg grandma to allow me to join them. I am so bored sitting here by myself, and not doing anything."


    "Am I not enough to accompany you? Even if you say that I''m not enough, I still won''t comply with you. You should be pleading with me to allow you to participate in the activities, instead of getting me to ask grandma on your behalf. Have you forgotten who the Boss is?" Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua thought of something and smiled immediately after an idea struck her.


    She smiled and decided to curry favor with him.


    Liu Longwei knew what tactics she would play next, but he allowed her to express herself on purpose.


    Chen Lihua held his arm as she smiled and said, "Darling, please allow your baby to have a little fun. Your baby is bored not being able to put its body to good use."


    Liu Longwei took his hand away from her grasp. "Our baby is too young to have that kind of thoughts. For your information, you will sit here and watch the rest continue with the strenuous exercises."


    "But this is the first New year I''m celebrating with you and the family, I am allowed to have some fun at least...." Chen Lihua said as she is starting to get annoyed.


    "We still have many years ahead for you to celebrate New year with us." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Can I unpregnant myself?". Chen Lihua asked and rolled her eyes thereafter.


    "Even if that was possible, I will never allow that. Just relax, when we see the doctor tomorrow, and after she has checked on you and the baby and confirmed that you both are 100% safe, you are then free to ask any questions, like some activities you can do at this stage."


    "You sound like a health consultant. I think you would do a better job than me, so do you mind exchanging our works?." Chen Lihua asked.


    She was so annoyed that she didn''t know what else to say.


    Liu Longwei was making it look like being pregnant was a bad thing, and she is not liking that thought at all.

 Chapter 372 - A visit to the hospital

    It''s a new day today. Although it''s snowing, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei decided to go to the hospital for their appointment.


    Chen Lihua is excited, but a little nervous, while Liu Longwei can not wait to know more about his baby, and how he can take better care of it.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei packed their stuff into the cars they came with.


    After visiting the hospital, they would go back to their house.


    Old Madam Liu and Madam Liu were worried about the young couple going to live on their own now that Chen Lihua was pregnant.


    The women tried persuading them to stay at the Liu Villa for some time, so they can help to cater to the needs of Chen Lihua and their unborn baby, but Liu Longwei assured them that their needs would be well taken care of.


    Seeing how adamant he remained, the two women didn''t bother about the matter any longer.


    They gave them strings of advice about the baby, and how they would take good care of it during this period.


    After sending them off, the members of the Liu family retired back inside the Villa.


    Although they received happy news this new year''s day, they couldn''t broadcast it, as Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua didn''t the prying eyes of the public in their affairs.


    So they agreed that the matter would only stay within the two families for the time being until they announced it.


    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei got to the hospital, they still had about twenty more minutes before the appointment time.


    Because of Liu Longwei''s impatience, they arrived at the hospital much earlier.


    They parked at the hospital''s underground parking lot to wait.


    "Do you want to eat something while we want for the time?". Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua as he squeezed her palm gently.


    "No thank you, I''m fine." Chen Lihua replied in a half-smile.


    "Are you sure about that, because you didn''t have much for breakfast this morning?". Liu Longwei asked worriedly.


    He monitored her carefully during breakfast, and so that she ate so little. He knew that she didn''t have an appetite, so he didn''t bother her.


    "I''m probably too nervous to want to eat something. Don''t worry, I will be fine. I will eat when we get home."


    "Alright. Do you have any special orders for the chefs, anything you feel like eating?". Liu Longwei asked.


    He has more responsibilities now his wife was pregnant. He had got to take good care of her since she only had him to rely on, as they were living alone.


    "I don''t have any cravings for now. They can go ahead and follow the menu. When I have any cravings, I will inform them." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Okay. Almost time, let us go." Liu Longwei said after he glanced at his wristwatch.


    The bodyguard helped to open the car doors for them. Then Liu Longwei hurriedly walked to his wife''s side, to take her hand.


    As they walked into the hospital from the underground parking lot, four bodyguards, immediately followed behind them.


    Chen Lihua glanced behind her and saw the formidable formation and sighed.


    This was what being married to a public figure, felt like.


    "You don''t have to worry about them, they are doing their job." Liu Longwei said to her.


    He could very much tell what was going on in her mind.


    When they got inside the hospital, the obstetrician who came to Liu''s house the day before, came personally to show take them to her office.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/a-visit-to-the-hospital_50760358297659768 for visiting.


    When she saw Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei, she greeted them respectfully as a smile turned up on her face.


    "Mrs. Liu, how are you?." The doctor asked.


    "I''m fine, thank you." Chen Lihua replied, but Liu Longwei added, "she has not eaten anything since morning, she just managed to take nothing more than five tablespoons of food."


    "That is not a problem Mr. Liu it is perfectly normal for her not to have appetites a few times during her pregnancy." The doctor replied as she opened the door to her office and led them inside.


    "Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, please take a seat." The said as she gestured.


    The doctor took a seat as well and said to them with a smile.


    "I will be doing a few checkups and tests on you, Mrs. Liu, then after that, we can talk about a lot of things."


    "Alright." Chen Lihua replied.


    "From the calculation you gave me on the last day of your period, you are seven weeks and three days pregnant, which means that you get to hear the sound of your baby''s heartbeats." The doctor told them excitedly.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei glanced at each other with smiles on their faces, before looking back at the doctor.


    "You said I would be doing a series of tests, what kind of tests are they, and what are the tests for?". Chen Lihua asked.


    "Yes, you would be doing a series of tests to check on your health and the fetus to ensure that you both are safe, and the pregnancy can be continued during the first trimester and other trimesters to follow. For today, you will do what we call First-trimester screening which includes the blood test and ultrasound (It helps to determine whether the fetus is at risk for a chromosomal abnormality (such as Down syndrome) or birth defects (such as heart problems. Ultrasound: This safe and painless test uses sound waves to make images that show the baby''s shape and position. It can be done early in the first trimester to date the pregnancy or during weeks 11¨C14 as part of the first-trimester screening. Women with high-risk pregnancies might have multiple ultrasounds during their first trimester).


    Then the doctor went ahead to explain the blood test to her, and other tests she would be doing in her first trimester.


    The blood test could be done to check a lot of things like blood type and Rh factor (If your blood is Rh-negative and your partners are Rh-positive, you may develop antibodies that prove dangerous to your fetus. This can be prevented through an injection given around the 28th week of pregnancy), anemia (a low red blood cell count), immunity to German measles (rubella) and chickenpox (varicella), cystic fibrosis, and spinal muscular atrophy.

 Chapter 373 - The signs of pregnancy she ignored

    "You will do a urine test, have your weight and blood pressure checked on each visit." The doctor notified.


    "Ok." Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei replied in unison.


    They were both paying rapt attention to what the doctor was saying.


    "CVS and another ultrasound will be done at your eleven (11) weeks. For now, let''s start with what we have." The doctor said.


    Chen Lihua proceeded to have a blood test and a urine test done, and the results came out okay at the end of the day.


    Her weight and blood pressure were checked, and everything seemed normal.


    "Does any of you have any hereditary conditions that run in your families, that you think might pass onto the fetus? Any medical history?." The doctor asked in concern.


    "No."


    "None from my side."


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei replied in unison.


    "That''s good. This means there would be no need to do further screening or diagnostic tests."


    "Doctor, I have eye issues, do you think it would be passed unto my child?." Chen Lihua asked in concern.


    "What kind of eye problem do you have, and when did it start?." The doctor asked as she paid full attention to her.


    Since Chen Lihua didn''t have any medicated glasses over her eyes, it was hard for anyone to tell she had eye issues.


    "My eyes are sensitive to light, and this problem started in my teenage years." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "Does anyone from your family have this problem or any eye defects?." The doctor inquired.


    "I am the only one in my family with this particular problem. As for other eye defects, it''s hard to tell because I haven''t seen anyone in my family use glasses apart from my grandparents."


    "In the case of your grandparents, they may be using glasses due to age." The doctor said.


    At this point, Liu Longwei revealed to the doctor that his grandmother and father made use of reading glasses.


    "What about you, do you have any eye defects or any signs of it?." The doctor asked Liu Longwei.


    "No doctor." He replied.


    "Most eye defects are difficult to detect from this stage. It''s almost impossible, unless we are sure it runs in the family, then we can say the fetus might develop the issue. Bad eye sights can be detected early or later in life, but that''s not a problem." The doctor assured them.


    "Just eat food rich in Vitamine A like carrots, they are good for good eye development. Alright, it''s time to see your baby and hear its heartbeats." The doctor announced with a smile as she stood up from her chair to guide Chen Lihua.


    The doctor called for a nurse that would help her out during the time she would carry out this diagnosis.


    Chen Lihua laid on a bed facing a monitor, while Liu Longwei stood at her side.


    Chen Lihua was thankful that she wasn''t wearing a gown, otherwise, she would have had to pull the whole thing, upwards.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/the-signs-of-pregnancy-she-ignored_50771396648826975 for visiting.


    And that would be embarrassing to her.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were so when they heard their baby''s heartbeat, and saw it.


    "Here''s your baby." The doctor said with a smile as she pointed at one little thing that could be called a big dot, on the screen of the monitor.


    Chen Lihua became more emotional when she saw her baby.


    She couldn''t believe that she was housing her little one, that another life was living inside of her, and was depending on her to survive.


    Tears of joy rolled out of her eyes as she used her hand to cover her mouth, in other to control her sobs, while she still had her eyes glued on the monitor.


    "Sweetheart, why are you crying?." Liu Longwei asked in an alarmed tone.


    His wife was fine a few minutes ago, they were even smiling together when they saw their little one and heard its heartbeat.


    Now, what would make her cry?


    "Those are the tears of joy of a mother to be." The doctor replied Liu Longwei with a bright smile on her face, before turning to Chen Lihua to say.


    "Mrs. Liu, no matter how you are, you have to stop crying, because the fetus can hear you. You don''t want to make your baby sad, do you?."


    Chen Lihua shook her head in a negative affirmation as she calmed down slowly.


    She was now an expectant mother, and that maternity love she had, will never allow her to put her baby in discomfort, so she stopped crying immediately.


    Liu Longwei used what he saw after she took her hand away from her mouth, to dry her tears with a handkerchief.


    "Sweetheart don''t cry so that our baby will not be sad okay?." Liu Longwei said as he dried her tears.


    Chen Lihua gradually stopped sniffing.


    "I must say, your baby is very obedient." The doctor commented with her sight still on the monitor.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Doctor since I''m over seven weeks pregnant, how come I didn''t know about it, and I didn''t put weight?." Chen Lihua asked.


    The doctor wiped the gel off her stomach, and Liu Longwei helped her off the bed.


    The doctor led them, and they returned to their seats as she replied to that question.


    "As every woman''s body is different from others, so as each pregnancy differs. You have not been pregnant before, so you might have ignored the little signs which showed that you were pregnant. From a missed period to the others. I know that at a point, you might have felt different, am I right?." The doctor questioned with a smile on her face.


    "Yes. I used to have missed periods whenever I''m stressed, or mentally unstable. So during that period, I wasn''t okay, so I thought that was the cause for the missed period. These days, I feel dizzy when I partake in jogging or standing up from the bed. I thought I was low on glucose, so I made some adjustments to my diet, and that helped me." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "These little signs you ignored, was your body''s way of signifying you, that you are pregnant." The doctor said.


    "Apart from that, I noticed she put on some weight on her chest area. I didn''t know she was pregnant, so I only teased her with it." Liu Longwei revealed to the doctor.


    Chen Lihua felt like hiding under the table when he mentioned the size of her burst to an outsider.

 Chapter 374 - What to eat, and what not to eat

    "Apart from that, I noticed she put on some weight on her chest area. I didn''t know she was pregnant, so I only teased her with it." Liu Longwei revealed to the doctor.


    Chen Lihua felt like hiding under the table when he mentioned the size of her burst to an outsider.


    She glanced at him and gave him a death glare.


    Liu Longwei caught the glare but pretended to not have understood the meaning.


    "What?." He feigned ignorance.


    Chen Lihua looked away from him and smiled at the doctor.


    "Doctor, I don''t feel pregnant at all. Apart from the signs of pregnancy, do not in any way feel or look pregnant. My stomach is still flat and didn''t add more flesh." Chen Lihua insisted.


    "I''m very sure you were thinking that all baby bumps appeared in the first trimester, but that''s not true. As I said, all bodies and pregnancies are different. This is your first pregnancy, so you don''t expect to see a baby bump already. The size of your baby as you saw on the monitor, is about ¡Á2 of an orange seed, so tell me, how do you get a baby bump at this stage? Your weight, the truth is that you have put on some weight, but it will not sure now till the end of your first trimester." The doctor explained in detail.


    "You said you are having trouble with eating, no appetite. That''s part of the pregnancy signs. Your body is different, that''s why you haven''t started to experience morning sickness. Very soon, the morning sickness will start, and it will last for some weeks. You will have trouble perceiving scents of perfumes, and the aroma of food will start to irritate you, and that would make you nauseous, but that''s perfectly normal. From time to time, you might have uncontrollable cravings. You should eat what you want at that moment, I bet you that you would not feel normal till you''ve had what you wanted."


    "Right doctor. Am I free to eat whatever I want?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Yes, but you must watch what you eat. People say since you are pregnant, you should eat for two, but that''s not advisable. The quality of food you eat is more important than the quantity. If you eat whatever you feel like eating and at any time especially high-calorie content, you and your baby will put on excess weight." The doctor replied.


    "But doctor, I don''t want to be fat. And I know if my baby it''s fast, it might cause me difficulty in labor, and I don''t want that. Can you write me a healthy diet plan that can follow strictly?." Chen Lihua asked.


    The last thing she wanted to happen in this pregnancy, was to look fat, and have difficulty in labor.


    And besides, she felt that she would look ugly if she became fat, and Liu Longwei wouldn''t like her anymore.


    "Sure, I will create a special diet plan for you. But you have to strictly follow it. Mr. Liu, I''m sure there is someone to watch her closely because it will not be easy to follow the diet plan all by herself." The doctor asked Liu Longwei.


    "I will make sure of that. What of her cravings? You said that if she doesn''t eat what she craves for, she wouldn''t be content, what should we do about that?." He asked with much interest.


    "The cravings don''t come every time, so she is free to eat what she craves for when it comes, as far as it is edible." The doctor answered with a smile.


    "There are some foods, drinks, and fruits that can lead to miscarriage, so you need to be careful to avoid them. I will write them down, so you don''t go eating them." The doctor notified as she began to put some information down on a paper.


    There is indeed food that causes miscarriage, and they are to be avoided till the pregnancy is over.


    It''s probably safe to say you know to avoid alcohol during pregnancy, but some off-limits foods may surprise you.


    For instance, while it''s important to bone up on calcium, be cautious that you''re not eating products made with unpasteurized dairy products, which can contain pregnancy-unfriendly bacteria like Listeria.


    That includes soft cheeses like feta, Brie, and goat cheese. The same goes for unpasteurized juices, so check the label before you chug OJ. More to avoid hot dogs and deli meat, which can also contain Listeria, as well as nitrates and nitrites (in processed meats like hot dogs).


    Raw sprouts can also contain E. coli and Salmonella, so opt for spinach or arugula instead. Pass on almost anything with the word "raw" ¡ª raw eggs (including Caesar dressings and hollandaise sauce), undercooked meat, sashimi, and raw sushi.


    Speaking of fish, be cautious of seafood with a high mercury content, like mackerel and tilefish.


    "Doctor, can I have some wine during my pregnancy?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile.


    She likes red wine a lot, and can not miss drinking it once a week.


    "As long as the alcoholic content is very low. You can take it once a while if you crave it. But it''s best to avoid drinks with alcohol in it." The doctor advised.


    "I will send the diet plan to your Email address, and the foods to avoid, within 48 hours. For now, hold onto this little information." The doctor informed her as she passed the paper she has been writing on, to her.


    "Thank you, doctor." Chen Lihua said as she glanced through the paper at lightning speed before passing it onto Liu Longwei, who collected it and glanced through it, before passing it back to her.


    Chen Lihua then finally put the paper away in her handbag.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/what-to-eat-and-what-not-to-eat_50774948855211062 for visiting.


    "These days, you have to be careful with your health and in everything you do. This is your first pregnancy and the first trimester, so you need to be careful. Don''t lift any heavy things by yourself, and don''t stress yourself out. If you have any questions or if there is an emergency, you and your husband can reach me through calls which will pick immediately if I am not in the labor room, and through Emails which I always reply in the evening." The doctor instructed.


    "Thank you so much, doctor." Chen Lihua said gratefully.


    "Thank you, doctor." Liu Longwei said as he shook hands with the doctor.


    "No troubles at all, it''s my job." The doctor replied with a smile.


    You could tell she was a professional and good at her job.


    She discussed and talked to them as if they were any other patients she had, totally leaving aside their social status.


    "Mrs. Liu, our next appointment is at your eleven (11) weeks. But you can still drop by any time you want if you need me." The doctor reminded her.


    "No problem doctor, thank you for today." Chen Lihua replied with a smile as she and Liu Longwei stood to their feet.


    Since Chen Lihua worked in the same hospital as the obstetrician, she wouldn''t have trouble coming to find her.


    But since she wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret, she would have to be careful of that.


    As the doctor saw them to the door of her office, she was about going back to her seat when Liu Longwei called out to her.


    Chen Lihua watched from the side as Liu Longwei whispered something to the doctor, and the doctor smiled while replying.

 Chapter 375 - Pregnancy cravings

    Chen Lihua watched from the side as Liu Longwei whispered something to the doctor, and the doctor smiled while replying.


    "What did you tell her?". Chen Lihua asked him immediately they came out of the office.


    "Nothing much, I just reminded her to keep the news a secret." Liu Longwei replied with a smile.


    "Have you thought of anything you want to eat?." He asked her.


    "Yes! I want to eat Korean Kimchi. I want to eat Korean black noodles. I want to eat fruit salad, and I want it to be decorated so beautifully that I won''t bear to touch it. I want to eat steak and red wine."


    Chen Lihua listed all these in one breath before glancing at him, just to see him staring at her with a dumbfounded gaze.


    "What''s wrong?." She asked.


    "Can you finish all of them?." He asked curiously.


    "Yes of course! Why would I list what I want to eat it can''t finish them?." Chen Lihua answered without care.


    "Alright. I will get the chefs to prepare everything." Liu Longwei assured her as he whipped out his phone to make a call.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said happily as she held onto her arm.


    In less than two hours later, the person who said she could finish the food she ordered, was seen, drinking red wine, with the food left untouched, as she admired the fruit salad that was decorated beautifully that she couldn''t bear to touch, just as she ordered.


    So she drank the red wine while appreciating the handwork of the chefs.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t bear to watch her anymore, so he snatched the bottle and glass of red wine from her.


    "What?!." Chen Lihua asked in annoyance.


    "Eat your food." Liu Longwei ordered without a smile on his face.


    "Are you shouting at me?." Chen Lihua asked as she peered at his face.


    "I did not shout at you, I''m only asking you to please, eat the food you ordered." Liu Longwei said in reply while keeping the wine far from her reach.


    "Why do I feel like you are starting to get angry with me?." Chen Lihua asked as she gave him a weird look.


    "I can''t bear to be angry with you, so why would I bother trying? I''m not angry at you." Liu Longwei said truthfully.


    "That''s a lie, I don''t believe you. Since you are angry at me, I''m not eating anymore." Chen Lihua said as she stood up from the dining chair and made her way out.


    "Where are you going? Who did you leave all these foods for?." Liu Longwei asked?


    "Find someone to eat them, I''ve lost my appetite. I''m going to read, I have a baby now, so I''ve got to learn how to care for it." Chen Lihua replied as she completely disappeared from his sight.


    Liu Longwei knew that he has just been tricked. He watched her walk away from his sight.


    But it would be better to say she escaped rather than walked away from his sight.


    Chen Lihua knew that she couldn''t eat the food when they were served, but she couldn''t say anything for fear of angering her husband.


    Liu Longwei didn''t like the idea of food being wasted.


    The worst about this ordeal was that she didn''t even touch any of them.


    It was as if the food was prepared to feed her sight rather than her appetite.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/pregnancy-cravings_50786060740917718 for visiting.


    Liu Longwei glanced at the dining table and saw the displayed food. Then he glanced at the direction his wife disappeared to.


    He suddenly developed a headache as he massaged his temples.


    The only reason that was stopping him from eating the food on the table was that he didn''t like the dishes.


    The only thing he could eat was the steak, and then the fruits.


    As for the Korean dishes, he didn''t think he could stomach that, so he abandoned them.


    Later, he went into his bedroom, only to see his wife sitting on the bed with a book in her hands.


    She seemed so engrossed with reading that she didn''t bother to take a look at him.


    Liu Longwei rolled the tray of food into the room. Then he glanced at the book in her hands and discovered that it was a book on pregnancy.


    "Come and have some food." He said to her as he opened the played to reveal the platter of fruits and steak.


    "Later." Chen Lihua gave a simple reply without turning her head.


    With her behavior, one can tell she wasn''t even interested in the food.


    "Lihua, you need to eat something, I''m sure the baby is hungry now. Our baby has not eaten anything since this morning." Liu Longwei lamented.


    He finally got her attention with that sentence.


    Chen Lihua moved the book to the side and glanced at him.


    "How do you know the baby is hungry?." She asked him as a smirk turned up on her face.


    "I just know." Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua stared at him for some seconds before giving up.


    "What do you have there?." She asked.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he went ahead to reveal what he got.


    "Let me have the steak." Chen Lihua demanded.


    "No, the steak is for me. The fruit salad is yours." Liu Longwei said as he passed the plate of fruits to her.


    Chen Lihua took the plate from him as she complained.


    "Why can''t I eat the steak? It''s mine, I ordered it."


    "It was yours until I saw on the internet that raw and undercooked meat wasn''t good for pregnant women. So now, the steak belongs to me." Liu Longwei said to her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at his serious-looking face before giving up the idea of begging him for a bite.


    "Ask them to turn these fruits into juice, or I won''t have it." She said, definitely out to piss him off.


    "Are you throwing a tantrum?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yes." Chen Lihua replied without denying that fact.


    Liu Longwei stared at her wordlessly before taking the plate from her.


    He stood to his feet and took a few steps towards the door, before looking back to catch Chen Lihua''s eyes on the steak.


    He changed his mind and walked back to sit on the bed.


    "Why did you come back?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise, for she almost had an opportunity to take a bite from the steak.


    "The maids will do it." Liu Longwei replied to her as he picked up the telephone to order the servants.


    Chen Lihua could only watch him helplessly.


    A few minutes later, Chen Lihua sipped her glass of freshly squeezed juice as she watched Liu Longwei dissect the steak with his cutlery, before putting a piece in his mouth.


    He chewed on the steak and swallowed it before saying.


    "The steak is delicious. I would have loved to give you some, but your condition says otherwise." Liu Longwei teased her.


    Chen Lihua rolled her eyes at him. "I can see you are having so much fun teasing me."


    Now, a piece of steak remained on the plate.


    Liu Longwei picked it up with his fork and glanced at his wife who had her back towards him.


    "Sweetheart, take a bite." Liu Longwei said to her as he stretched the price of steak towards her.


    Chen Lihua sat up on the bed immediately and turned towards him.


    Liu Longwei sent the steak to her mouth as he watched her chew it happily.


    "Thank you, you''re the best husband in the world." Chen Lihua said with a mouth full of meat.


    "Eat it slowly."


    Liu Longwei chided her with a smile as he thought, ''look how happy she is from getting to taste the steak.''

 Chapter 376 - Feeling nauseous and throwing up

    It''s a new day today, and joyful morning.


    Lady Chen visited her daughter with some members of the Chen Family.


    She came with Chen K, Aunt Lin, and her daughter, and a few of her female cousins.


    Trust Lady Chen to not come empty-handed, of course, she brought a whole load of foodstuff with her.


    She even cooked several healthy dishes beneficial for a pregnant woman.


    "Mum why did you have to bring all these things?." Chen Lihua asked with wide eyes as she glanced over the huge items her mother brought over.


    "Other daughters would have been happy if their mother brought them expensive items to look after them, but your case proved to be different." Lady Chen said as she pulled her to sit beside her.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he watched the mother and daughter banter.


    Chen Lihua''s cousin''s congratulated them happily, and Chen Lihua replied to them politely, for she was not close to them apart from Aunt Lin''s daughter.


    "Aunt Lin thanks for visiting, but you shouldn''t have made the trouble of coming down here despite your health challenges." Chen Lihua said to Aunt Lin, who was looking tired.


    "The trouble is worth it, as far as I get to see you before traveling for my treatment." Aunt Lin responded with a smile on her face.


    "Thank you, Aunt." Chen Lihua replied happily.


    She was happy that her relationship with her Aunt was a hundred (100) times better than how it used to be.


    Chen Lihua got the chefs to serve them some special delicacies from the New Year.


    They dinned merrily as they engaged in conversations.


    "Lihua makes sure to finish the soup, it''s very nutritious for your baby." Lady Chen reminded carefully as she watched her daughter drink the soup.


    "Yeah, I know." Chen Lihua replied as she drank up the soup.


    "Look how obedient you are." Liu Longwei whispered to her ear.


    "Of course, I have always been obedient." Chen Lihua whispered back to him.


    "Yeah, you have always been an obedient girl, but not since you became pregnant. It seems like you are adamant about not listening to me." Liu Longwei whispered back to her before smiling at Lady Chen.


    "You have to be tolerant of my behavior this time around, I''m carrying our child, or do you regret it." Chen Lihua asked, totally enjoying this.


    "How can I regret it?". Liu Longwei asked before turning to continue eating his food.


    After Lady Chen and her entourage left, the Liu family sent another set of health tonics and some food items.


    Chen Lihua could only stare at them helplessly.


    She glanced at Liu Longwei and caught him staring at her with a big smile on her face.


    "What is the intention behind all of these? Are they having plans on fattening me up?." Chen Lihua asked him.


    "Who knows. Come on, let''s go out to buy the drugs the doctor prescribed for you and the baby." Liu Longwei said as he gently pulled her out of the house.


    "Oh no! I''m not going anywhere." Chen Lihua said as she struggled to take her hands off his grasp, but he was too strong for her.


    "Be good. The doctor said the drugs will be good for the child especially. Don''t you want to give birth to a healthy child?." Liu Longwei asked her.


    "Of course I want to give birth to a healthy child. Who on earth doesn''t want to have healthy children?." Chen Lihua inquired with a slight frown on her face.


    "People that do not obey the doctor''s instructions." Liu Longwei replied as he pulled her forward.


    "But I hate drugs. Just the thought if it is making me feel nauseous." Chen Lihua said, her face not looking too good.


    Liu Longwei immediately stopped in his tracks when he heard her say she was feeling nauseous.


    So he asked her in a concerned tone, "Do you feel like throwing up? Let''s go back into the house." He suggested as he made a move to change their course of direction back into the house.


    Chen Lihua stopped him immediately, as she had an idea of what he was thinking about.


    "Wait a minute. I am not feeling nauseous because of the pregnancy, rather it''s because of the drugs. Thinking about it, it''s already giving me a headache."


    "Oh! In that case, we have to quickly go and get your drugs." Liu Longwei said as he lifted her immediately, but his actions caused her to become dizzy.


    "What''s wrong? What happened?." He asked in a panicked voice when he saw the frown on her face, and how she shut her eyes and placed a hand on her temples.


    "I just felt slightly dizzy, but I''m fine now." Chen Lihua assured him with a smile on her face.


    "I''m sorry. Should I put you down?". Liu Longwei asked as he still stood in place.


    "No, it''s fine now." Chen Lihua replied as she hugged his neck.


    Liu Longwei lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Then with her in his arms, he directed carried her into the car.


    When they got to the drug store, Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand as they walked into the store.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/feeling-nauseous-and-throwing-up_50833978617287953 for visiting.


    A wave of nausea hit Chen Lihua immediately she walked into the drug store and perceived the smell of drugs.


    She immediately covered her mouth with her hand as she used the other hand to drag Liu Longwei''s sleeve to get his attention.


    Liu Longwei turned to look at her and saw that she wasn''t looking well, added to the hand she covered her mouth with.


    "What is it?." He asked in a panic.


    Chen Lihua murmured and made some signs with her body.


    Liu Longwei understood her immediately and turned to ask one of the nurses for the direction to their restroom.


    He helped Chen Lihua who was half running and walking at the same time, to get there.


    When they got to the restroom, Chen Lihua gave him a sign not to come in as it was for the female, but Liu Longwei was not in the mood to follow protocols, so he followed her inside.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t hold on any longer or bother with him, because it was too late.


    She threw up on her hands and the floor before she managed to reach the sink before throwing up the rest in there.

 Chapter 377 - This is my husband

    She threw up on her hands and the floor before she managed to reach the sink before throwing up the rest in there.


    Liu Longwei could only watch on helplessly as she wretched her guts out.


    The several times he tried getting answers from her, and if eyes could kill, Chen Lihua would have sent him to his early grave.


    The glare she gave him seemed to ask, ''How do you expect me to answer you in this condition?.''


    Liu Longwei could only shut up and help her to relax by rubbing her back.


    After what seemed like days when it was just a few minutes that passed, Chen Lihua finally stopped throwing up. But because she lacked strength, she had to lean on the basin for support.


    Liu Longwei supported her when he saw that she couldn''t stand on her own.


    Chen Lihua rinsed her mouth, and because she wasn''t wearing any makeup, she splashed some water on her face.


    Then she looked at herself in the mirror and saw her dull she looked, she sighed and glanced at Liu Longwei through the mirror and asked, "I know I''m miserable right now, so don''t lie to me. I just want to know the level I''m currently at."


    Liu Longwei gazed at her wordlessly.


    Since she has concluded that she was looking miserable, who was he to refute her words and fight over them? To avoid that murderous look from her, he simply said, "You are not looking so bad. Here, let me give you a hand".


    Liu Longwei gestured as he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her face with it.


    "Do you feel better now?." He asked in concern.


    "Kind of. But I feel so weak right now that I don''t have the strength to move a muscle." Chen Lihua replied in exaggeration.


    "Do you want me to carry you?." Liu Longwei teased her with a smile on his face.


    "No..no I don''t want this place to turn into a movie scene, you know I''m a big celebrity being sort after by millions of people." Chen Lihua said with a proud look on her face as she flicked her hair.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he watched her. "Who was the person that said she didn''t have any strength to even lift a muscle?."


    Chen LIhua blinked her eyes at his words, before pretending to collapse on his body, strengthless.


    "Please help me out of here." She said in a low voice as she feigned being too weak to walk on her own.


    "Sure, Ma''am." Liu Longwei replied as he played along with her.


    He supported her as they left the washroom.


    Just outside the washroom, they came face to face with two young ladies, who were staring at them awkwardly.


    Chen Lihua gently pushed Liu Longwei outside and smiled at the two young ladies, like a child who has been caught doing bad things.


    Liu Longwei glanced at those ladies with a neutral expression on his face before looking back at his wife that just abandoned him.


    He proceeded to hug Chen Lihua''s shoulders and walked past the ladies without care.


    "Doesn''t that face look familiar to you?." One of the ladies asked the other one in a low voice.


    "Yes. I think I know that face." The other one replied with a smile.


    The two young girls glanced at each other before saying in unison with excitement laced in their voices. "Lihua!."


    Hearing her name being called, Chen Lihua stopped in her steps, automatically bringing Liu Longwei to a stop.


    Chen Lihua turned to look at the girls with a smile on her face.


    When she saw the excited look on their faces and added to the fact that they recognized her, she waved at them.


    The ladies shrieked excitedly as they ran towards her to hug her.


    Liu Longwei sensed their thought and was quick to shield Chen Lihua behind him before they could lay a finger on her.


    The girls were forced to make a stop a few inches from colliding into Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua smiled at the fact that her husband was quick to protect her.


    ''He must have been scared because of the baby.'' She thought as she smiled the more.


    Then she peeped at the ladies from behind. She smiled at them and waved at them before stepping out from behind her husband.


    "Hello! I''m Lihua." Chen Lihua introduced herself as she stretched out her right hand for a handshake.


    The ladies said ''hello'' as they shook her hand. They looked so happy and excited to have met their idol and even shake hands with her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/this-is-my-husband_50836027836783043 for visiting.


    "This is my husband." Chen Lihua said as she hugged Liu Longwei''s arm and introduced him to them.


    "Mr. Liu." The two young ladies chorused together as they smiled to themselves.


    "Hello!." They greeted Liu Longwei as they bowed.


    Liu Longwei glanced at them without a word. But a pinch on his arm reminded him to reply. So he said "Hello" to them in a low disinterested tone.


    Even at that, the girls were happy and very much satisfied to hear that low s.e.xy masculine voice.


    "Don''t you want a picture of us?." Chen Lihua reminded kindly.


    "Yes...yes." The girls said as they immediately took out their phones at her reminder.


    They took three pictures as a whole.


    After taking the pictures, the girls bowed to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei and wished them a ''Happy New Year''.


    Finally back inside the main store, Chen Lihua began to query Liu Longwei.


    "Why didn''t you smile at those innocent girls back there?."


    "Innocent girls?." Liu Longwei scoffed.


    "I only smile at my beautiful wife, no one else is what it aside from her." He continued.


    "What a playboy." Chen Lihua chuckled.


    "A playboy for you." Liu Longwei replied with a smile.


    "Go and wait in the car, I will buy the drugs myself." He said to her gently with much consideration.


    "Don''t worry, I can buy drugs with you." Chen Lihua replied.


    "No, go to the car and wait for me. I don''t want you feeling uncomfortable again, you already look awful." Liu Longwei said with an exaggerated expression on his face.


    "What?!." Chen Lihua said in alarm.


    "I look awful and you didn''t remind me of that fact before I took pictures with those young ladies earlier?." She asked as she gave him a look of betrayal.


    "My bad. You were very happy with that suggestion, so it was too late to remind you." Liu Longwei said to her with a smile.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her with a pained expression on her face. But when she felt approaching footsteps, she covered her face and hurriedly left his side.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he watched him run away. Then he reminded her in a voice she would be able to hear.


    "Careful, watch your steps."


    Then he glanced at the bodyguards standing not too far away. He gave them signs, and they immediately followed Chen Lihua, while one remained to guard him.

 Chapter 378 - His fathers affair.....

    Then he glanced at the bodyguards standing not too far away. He gave them signs, and they immediately followed Chen Lihua, while one remained to guard him.


    As Liu Longwei bought the drugs and supplements, Chen Lihua sat in the car to wait for me.


    And without even knowing, she smiled, and sometimes let out a low laugh.


    Just when she raised her head to look out through the car tinted window of her side, she saw a black Jeep that seemed somewhat familiar.


    Her doubts were confirmed when she saw the plate number of the car.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/his-father''s-affair....._50855983060145491 for visiting.


    " That''s father''s car...." Chen Lihua said.


    Then she watched as the car parked in the store in front.


    Since she was sure that it was her father-in-law in the car, she opened the car door and stepped out.


    "Ma''am do you need anything?." K2 asked her as he held the car door for her.


    "I want to greet my father-in-law." Chen Lihua replied while pointing at the Jeep that was parked in the store at the front.


    K2 followed where she was pointing at. And when he saw the Jeep, he confirmed that it was the older Mr. Liu.


    So he said to her, "Okay Ma''am, I will come with you."


    When Chen Lihua approached the car at close range, the back passenger door of the Jeep opened, and a young woman stepped out of it.


    That alone, caused Chen Lihua to pause in her steps.


    She became confused and didn''t even know if to continue or go back because it would be more awkward for her to continue standing there and be seen.


    At first, Chen Lihua didn''t have anything in mind when she a young woman. But the way she was dressed, caused her to think otherwise.


    The young woman was dressed seductively with a bright red lipstick that smeared her lips.


    Chen Lihua finally concluded that she couldn''t continue standing there or even go on with her agenda, so she went back to the car in a sour mood.


    As she sat in the back, she watched the lady say something through the car window, smiled before walking towards their car, then enter the drug store.


    At the entrance of the drug store, she saw the nearly collide into Liu Longwei, but his bodyguard blocked her.


    The young woman bowed to Liu Longwei, exposing her cleavage, but he didn''t spare her a glance, and instead covered his nose and walked away.


    It was obvious that he didn''t like the scent of her perfume, and it got him irritated.


    When he got to the car, K2 opened the car door for him.


    He sat in the back seat with furrowed brows.


    "Did the scent of her perfume ruin your mood?." Chen Lihua asked him with a smile on her face.


    "You saw what happened?." Liu Longwei asked her, sparing her a glance.


    "Yeah. Is the Lady pretty?." Chen Lihua teased him.


    "How on earth Am I supposed to know?." Liu Longwei asked with a dumbfounded look on his face.


    Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly, "you need to see your face, I was only playing around."


    Liu Longwei sighed as he gave the order to drive off.


    "Hold on!." Chen Lihua ordered.


    "What happened? Do you have something you want to buy?." Liu Longwei asked as he looked around their, environment, looking out for any possible store his wife might want to get something from.


    "No. I just want to confirm something." Chen Lihua said as she looked ahead.


    "Is that not the father''s car in front?." She asked him.


    Liu Longwei glanced over and saw the familiar Jeep.


    "You are right. What could he be doing in this area?." He said, asking no one in particular.


    Coincidentally, Chen Lihua saw the young woman from earlier coming out from the Drug store.


    So she directed his attention there.


    "Darling, look at the woman that nearly bumped into you earlier?."


    "What is there to see about her?." Liu Longwei asked as he glanced at the woman.


    Then he looked away in disgust.


    "If you are not, interested I am. I just want to see where she is going to." Chen Lihua said as her gaze followed the woman with interest.


    "Go ahead and feed your eyes." Liu Longwei conceded in defeat.


    He wondered if the act she was putting off was part of the pregnancy symptoms. Whatever he would just allow her to do what she wanted.


    Liu Longwei thought to himself as he shut his eyes, but his peace was disrupted within seconds.


    "Darling, why is that woman going towards father''s car?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Why would she...." Liu Longwei trailed as he saw the young woman from earlier approach his father''s jeep, before getting into the back passenger seat.


    He watched on in surprise as the car sped off.


    Then he glanced at Chen Lihua who was staring at him without a hint of surprise or shock with the scene that just played out.


    Liu Longwei could now tell that she already knew what transpired.


    So he asked to confirm, "You saw that woman get off the car earlier, so you deliberately got me to see her enter father''s car right?."


    "Chen Lihua nodded in confirmation, as she stared into his eyes.


    "You naughty woman." Liu Longwei said with a smile on his face as he pinched her cheeks gently.


    Chen Lihua smiled and escaped from his hold.


    With a serious facial expression, Liu Longwei ordered K2 to go and confirm what the lady bought from the drug store.


    "Are you sure you don''t know that lady?." Chen Lihua asked in doubt.


    "I don''t know her." Liu Longwei replied.


    "How sure are you, since you didn''t even take a look at her?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "At least I can confirm that she is not a family member, otherwise she would have introduced herself to me when she saw me." Liu Longwei replied.


    Just then, K2 returned to the car. He glanced at the back seat and just stared at Liu Longwei without saying anything. He looked to be in a difficult situation.


    Liu Longwei stared back at him wordlessly.


    Chen Lihua glanced between the two of them before taking the bulls by the horns.


    "What did you find out?." She asked him.


    "According to them, she is their regular customer. She comes to buy drugs and other things from them." K2 replied.


    "What kind of drugs, and what else does she buy from them?." Chen Lihua inquired.


    "She buys contraceptives and condoms from them. Today, she bought a pack of condoms." K2 replied in a low but firm voice.

    "What kind of drugs, and what else does she buy from them?." Chen Lihua inquired further.


    "She buys contraceptives and condoms from them. Today, she bought a pack of condoms." K2 replied in a low but firm voice.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei glanced at each other without saying anything, but they communicated with their eyes.


    At last, Liu Longwei instructed them to leave the place.


    Throughout the journey back to their house, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei didn''t mention the topic again. They only talked about their child.


    When they arrived home, each was busy with phone calls.


    Chen Lihua phoned the doctor to ask some questions concerning the drugs, and also tell her the new symptoms she is experiencing, like nausea and vomiting that happened today.

    "Father I saw you about an hour ago, close to the drug store at xxxxxxxxxxx. Is everything alright?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Liu Huang was taken aback by the question, and that caused him to be silent for a few seconds.


    Not wanting his son to suspect anything, he quickly masked the silence with a low chuckle.


    "I didn''t know you saw me. I went there to get a prescription for my migraine." He replied, further implicating himself.


    "What did you go there to do?." Liu Huang asked after he faked a cough.


    "Lihua and I went to the drug store to get the drugs the obstetrician prescribed for her." Liu Longwei replied as his face turned stone cold.


    "That''s right. What did the doctor say about the baby? Is everything alright?." Liu Huang asked as he tried to make small talks.


    "Everything is fine. The baby is doing alright." Liu Longwei gave a simple reply.


    Then there was a sudden silence before Liu Longwei broke it with this question.


    "Father, I hope you remember the promise you made to me?."


    "Which promise." Liu Huang asked in confusion. It was obvious that he didn''t remember the promise his son was talking about.


    "About the mother..." Liu Longwei added.


    The expression sitting on his face was not a good one.


    Liu Huang was silent as he was reminded of the promise he made to his first son, that he would not cheat on his wife again after he found out he was truly cheating on his wife.


    "Yes, I remember." Liu Huang answered after a while.


    "Are you still keeping it?." Liu Longwei asked, this time around, his tone was laced with a cold layer of ice.


    Liu Huang was not a fool. He knew that his son must have found out something about his affairs, for he would not ask this type of questions out of the blue.


    "Longwei, let''s talk about this some other time." Liu Huang said before ending the call immediately.


    He took a deep breath as he sank into deep thought.


    Just then, the young woman that was seen by Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei at the drug store, emerged from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her body.


    She approached Liu Huang with a smile on her face.


    When She caressed Liu Huang''s hands, he came back to his senses.


    He glanced at her before pushing her away as he gave her an order with a serious tone.


    "Get dressed and leave here immediately!."


    "But...but Mr. Liu, we just got here." The young woman said with worry written all over her face, as she approached him again to hold his arm.


    "I said get out! If you don''t want to die, leave here immediately, and if possible, leave this country!." Liu Huang screamed at her as he pushed her away with force.


    The young woman fell to the floor as her face grimaced with pain. Then she glanced at Liu Huang with fear as she listened to the rest of his words.


    "Did you meet any member of my family today?." Liu Huang asked in anger.


    "Yes.....yes." The young woman answered in fear.


    Liu Huang had a look of shock on his face when he heard her reply.


    "Who did you see?." He asked with a hidden fear in his heart.


    "I bumped into your son at the entrance of the drug store this morning." She replied.


    But when she saw the dangerous glint in his eyes, she immediately crawled to him as she attempted to hold his hand as added with assurance.


    "If you are worried about him knowing about our relationship, you don''t have to be worried at all, because he didn''t even glance at me."


    ''Pah''! That was the sound of a resounding slap the young woman received.


    She covered her cheeks with her palm as she fell over. Then she gazed at Liu Huang with tears in her eyes.


    "How dumb are you?!." Liu Huang roared in anger as he stood up from the bed.


    "You didn''t care to tell me that you bumped into my son at the drugstore this morning?! Are you mad?! You think he wouldn''t find out about us because he didn''t see your face? How significant are you that you think he would recognize a small-time actress like you? What about my car?! You didn''t think he wouldn''t recognize my car?!" Liu Huang lashed out in anger, as he was tempted to hit her again, but merely controlled himself.


    "I...I didn''t think he would find out about us since...since he didn''t see me come.....come out from your car." The young woman stammered in fear as she tried to defend herself.


    "Oh well, he did, because he saw you leave, in my car!." Liu Huang replied angrily as he gave her a kick at her back.


    The young woman cried out as she apologized "Ah! I''m... I''m so.....sorry."


    "You are still talking?." Liu Huang asked as he raised his hand to hit her, but his phone rang, thus, diverting his attention.


    As he answered the call, the young woman used that opportunity to escape into the bathroom.


    "First young Master has got people to search for you. We have two minutes to leave this place before they find this place." A voice informed from over the phone.


    "Shit!." Liu Huang cursed as he ended the call, and picked up his jacket and wallet before flying out of the room.


    Luckily for him, he had a bodyguard waiting to escort him to his car.


    As for the young woman, when she came out from the bathroom dressed in her previous dress, and makeup to hide the handprint on her face, she didn''t see anybody there.


    She sighed in relief before picking her things and leaving the hotel room as quickly as she could before anybody comes to find her.

 Chapter 380 - Baby, can you see what your father is doing?

    Luckily for him, he had a bodyguard waiting to escort him to his car.


    As for the young woman, when she came out from the bathroom dressed in her previous dress, and makeup to hide the handprint on her face, she didn''t see anybody there.


    She sighed in relief before picking her things and leaving the hotel room as quickly as she could before anybody comes to find her.


    When she left the hotel, she was abducted on her way just before she could reach her destination.


    Here is what happened thirty minutes ago from Liu Longwei''s end...


    After his father terminated the call without notice, Liu Longwei was so angry that he was emitting anger fumes.


    His father''s actions confirmed one thing, that he went back on his promise. And now, he wasn''t ready to talk about it.


    Without wasting time, Liu Longwei quickly phoned X.


    "Find out my father''s location Asap!." He ordered in a sharp voice.


    "Michael, why do have to call me when you want me to get things done for you? You don''t even request, you always order in a harsh tone." A voice responded in a lazy tone, without a hint of anger being detected.


    "You know the answer I''m expecting at this point right?." Liu Longwei asked, his temper decreasing by levels.


    The person at the other end of the phone sighed before replying.


    "Alright, I''m on it now," X replied as he typed away on his laptop.


    As Liu Longwei could hear him type away on his keyboard, he calmed down a lot as he began to tap the table with his fingers impatiently.


    "You know you owe me one, now?." X asked as he continued typing away.


    "What do you want?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Sponsor my trip to Russia," X replied.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/unpredictable-marriage._14368021206200105/baby-can-you-see-what-your-father-is-doing_50925678031332678 for visiting.


    "Are you going there to make troubles?." Liu Longwei inquired curiously.


    X replied in a simple sentence as he stopped typing on his keyboard "No, It''s for business."


    "Okay, it''s a done deal!." Liu Longwei agreed to his request.


    "Done!." X said as he gave out his father''s location.


    When he stopped typing on his keyboard, he has already found the location, but he was waiting for Liu Longwei to agree to the deal before he would divulge the information he had for him.


    Then without delay, Liu Longwei sent some people to the hotel to get his father.


    Several minutes later, he was told that his father has already left the hotel room.


    ''He received the information right on time.'' Liu Longwei sneered.


    "Capture that woman when she leaves the hotel premises. Keep her away without food for twenty-four hours, but she is permitted to drink water. After twenty-four hours, release her and let out her dirty secrets to the world. Don''t let her go into hiding after that, ruin her reputation, and don''t leave any hope for her to cringe onto."


    The above statement was Liu Longwei''s order.


    After calming down for along time, Liu Longwei remained in his study and got busy with work. He didn''t leave there until Chen Lihua came to look for him.


    "Darling, you''ve been in the study for six long hours, don''t you want to take a break?." Chen Lihua asked as she placed a glass of water on the table for him.


    Liu Longwei immediately gulped down the water before replying. "I''ve got a lot of work piled up here."


    "But I missed you!." Chen Lihua whined like a child with, a cute expression on her face.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he beckoned on her to come and sit on his lap.


    Chen Lihua didn''t shy away, Instead, she smiled in satisfaction after she sat on his lap.


    Liu Longwei hugged her waist as he kissed her cheek and lips. "You are becoming bolder as the day goes by."


    Chen Lihua kissed his lips for a few more seconds before letting go. "The baby made me bolder."


    "The baby wants more of your kisses." Chen Lihua said with a slight frown on her face while pointing at her tummy.


    "You''re sure you are not the one asking for the kiss?." Liu Longwei teased as he kissed her chin.


    "It''s the baby." Chen Lihua replied as she leaned in close to him, in other to receive another kiss from him.


    "Alright! I will do that now." Liu Longwei said before taking her lips in his. He only let her go when she felt breathless.


    "Do you like it?." Liu Longwei asked in a deep low voice.


    Chen Lihua nodded in response.


    "Then, do you want more?." Liu Longwei asked in a suggestive tone as he slipped his hands inside her top to caress her tummy.


    "Haahahahahah...Darling stop." Chen Lihua pleaded in a ticklish voice as she laughed brightly.


    "Why should I stop, you were the one that came to me asking for something." Liu Longwei replied as he tickled her sides.


    Chen Lihua laughed out loud as she stood up to escape from his clutches.


    Liu Longwei had a big smile on his face as he watched her laugh heartily.


    "Baby, can you see what your father is doing?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at her tummy with a beautiful smile on her face.


    "Don''t play tricks with me, I''m very sure our baby doesn''t mind at all." Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    "Darling, should I bring your food up here, because you look like you wouldn''t want to get off that seat in an hour?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei replied as he watched her leave after sending him a flying kiss.


    After she left, Liu Longwei was lost with a smile on his face.


    He chuckled lightly before he continued with his work.


    He felt happy that his wife brightened up his mood, and that eased his mind a lot.


    Chen Lihua purposely came to distract him, because she knew he wasn''t happy after the discovery at the drug store that morning.


    She knew he wouldn''t be in his best mood, so she purposely came to play with him, in other to distract him from any thought that would be going on in his mind.

 Chapter 381 - Chen Lihua tortures Liu Longwei without knowing

    Chen Lihua purposely came to distract him, because she knew he wasn''t happy after the discovery at the drug store that morning.


    She knew he wouldn''t be in his best mood, so she purposely came to play with him, in other to distract him from any thought that would be going on in his mind.


    Some minutes later, Chen Lihua came back to his room with a servant pushing in a trolley of food.


    "I wanted something simple and you decided to bring the whole food to me." Liu Longwei said as he glanced at the food, and then at her.


    "You''ve been working for a long time, and you still have a lot to do. So you need to eat a lot of food to replenish your energy." Chen Lihua said as she helped the servant to put the plates of food o the table.


    After the table was set, the servants left the study room after pushing the trolley to a corner.


    "Husband, your food is served, come, and have some." Chen Lihua called out to him with a smile on her face.


    "Alright, your husband is coming." Liu Longwei replied as he left his study table for the little sitting area, with a doc.u.ment in hand.


    Chen Lihua snatched the doc.u.ment from his hand immediately he sat on the sofa. "Who comes to eat with a working doc.u.ment in hand?."


    "Your husband." Liu Longwei replied as he picked up his cutlery.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she said, "Let me introduce the dishes I specially asked the chefs to make for you."


    Liu Longwei put down his cutleries as he gestured to her to start with a smile on his face.


    "Winter is the best time to adopt a healthy diet for nutritional supplement and speeding up the metabolism, so I made some research in search of our traditional dishes that are suitable for winter, so here they are."


    Then she went ahead to introduce the first dish.


    "This is stewed mutton with radishes. I asked the chefs to add some medicinal herbs to the soup. You know, stew based on nourishing ingredients and some medicinal herbs can help protect us from the cold and dryness, stay warm, and build a healthy body in winter."


    (Stewed Mutton with Radishes is a popular Chinese food in winter for mutton could protect people against cold, and radishes could boost the immunity of our body. Boil lamb brisket loaves and remove the sc.u.ms, pick them out. Then peel the radish and roll cut it into loaves. Stew the boiled mutton and radish loaves together with the root of straight lady bell for 2-3 hours. When the mutton is tender, season with salt).


    "The second dish is Beef stewed with potatoes. This particular dish is rich in various nutrients so that it achieves the effects to strengthen immunity, improve looks, and improve anemia. Isn''t that great?." Chen Lihua asked in excitement.


    "Mmmmm. It looks so good, but why did you put so little of it? All it needs is just three tablespoons, and the whole dish is gone." Liu Longwei asked in confusion as he glanced at the dish, and then at his wife, with the gaze that was demanding an explanation.


    "The reason the Beef stewed with potatoes is looking so fresh and appetizing, is because, it was braised, which can better preserve the nutrients of the ingredients. Although the food contains valuable and nutritious ingredients, it is not good to eat too much of it, as it is difficult to digest. Do you get the point now?." Chen Lihua asked with a proud smile on her face.


    "Mmmmm." Liu Longwei nodded in response. This time around, his sight was in the food.


    He doesn''t know the reason his wife decided to torture him today. She brought food for him, and instead of letting him eat it, she made him stare at the food while listening to her explain the health benefits of the food. I mean who does that?


    Well, his wife is currently doing that to him, and she is already an example. What more can he say?.


    "The last dish is Glutinous rice balls." Chen Lihua said as she winked her eye and went ahead to say a few sentences about the dish.


    She was proud of herself without knowing that her husband didn''t even pay attention when she was explaining the other dishes.


    (Glutinous Rice Balls is a popular Chinese food as well as the traditional festival food on Lantern Festival, to symbolize family reunion and happiness. In some places in southern China, people eat it on Winter Solstice as well. According to Chinese medicine theory, glutinous rice benefits the human body and can keep out the coldness. As humans are easier to get a cold in winter, the hot Glutinous Rice Balls would be a good choice. The common fillings are sweet black sesame paste and peanut paste.)


    "I used sweet black sesame paste and peanut paste for the filling, and then I boiled it together with some rice wine. This helps the function of keeping out the coldness, to be better."


    After saying the above sentence, Chen Lihua sat on the sofa with a proud smile on her face. She felt like someone that has achieved a lot.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/chen-lihua-tortures-liu-longwei-without-knowing_50953100340554263 for visiting.


    "Can I eat now?." Liu Longwei asked with an exhausted look on his face.


    "Oh Yes! Please go ahead." Chen Lihua said with a smile on her face as she handed the tablespoon to him. She didn''t even detect that something was wrong.


    ''How could she be so happy and satisfied from just introducing the dishes to me, Is this part of the pregnancy weird behavior?'' Liu Longwei thought as he sent a spoon of stewed mutton with radish into his mouth.


    Liu Longwei found her behavior strange, but he refused to say anything about it.


    He wasn''t even in the mood to say anything, as the only thing on his mind was to eat and get back to work.


    "Darling, how do you see the dishes? Do you like them?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at him with a smile on her face.


    She seemed more than comfortable watching him eat. It would be better to say that she enjoyed watching him eat more than anything.


    "They are delicious." Liu Longwei replied truthfully before sending another spoon of food into his mouth.

 Chapter 382 - Her loss of appetite

    "They are delicious." Liu Longwei replied truthfully before sending another spoon of food into his mouth.


    "Darling, do you want me to feed you?." Chen Lihua asked cheerfully.


    "Don''t trouble yourself." Liu Longwei said, rejecting her softly.


    He was now, wondering what was going on with her. She was beginning to scare him.


    "Darl...".


    "Sweetheart, can you get the book on her to care for a fetus over here, It should be on the nightstand in our bedroom." Liu Longwei said cutting her off.


    He didn''t know how long he would be able to tolerate her if she continued to disturb him, and allow him to eat peacefully.


    "Oh, no problem." Chen Lihua replied and left without knowing the actual reason she was sent away.


    She didn''t even know that she was sent away. She thought it was a mere errand, and that was why she left.


    If only she knew the reason, she might even pick a quarrel with him, or even send the dishes away.


    Finally having some peace, and the place to himself, Liu Longwei enjoyed the food to his satisfaction.


    He didn''t finish the food even though he liked it, he left for his wife.


    At least, that''s what a good husband should do.


    When Chen Lihua returned, she saw her husband sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a doc.u.ment in her hand.


    Then she glanced at the plates on the table and saw that he remained some of the dishes.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/her-loss-of-appetite_50954440370344427 for visiting.


    She kept the book in her hand on the study table before walking towards him to ask with a frown laced on her face.


    "Darling, why didn''t you finish the food?."


    Liu Longwei put down the doc.u.ment, so he could see her.


    "I am satisfied. Thank you, the food was delicious."


    "Well, in that case, I have to inform the servants to come and clear the plates." Chen Lihua said as she made a move to go out, but Liu Longwei stopped her.


    "Sweetheart, come and have some food." Liu Longwei, beckoning on her.


    "I''m not hungry yet, and besides, I had some food before bringing yours for you." Chen Lihua said in reply before escaping.


    Liu Longwei didn''t force her anymore. He just watched as she literally, flew out of the study room, as if she was being pursued by someone.


    When she left, Liu Longwei sat into deep thought.


    He was very worried about her loss of appetite.


    I mean, how can the baby grow and be healthy when the mother is not supplying it with the quantity and quality of nutrients required?.


    Liu Longwei immediately called the doctor to complain, after he made a call to the housekeeper to find out if his wife had eaten.


    He got a positive reply, his wife had lunch, but the problem was the quantity she ate.


    It was reported that she didn''t eat more than five spoonfuls of food.


    That was indeed bad news.


    The doctor told Liu Longwei it was normal in some cases, but he should try to get her to eat sometimes.


    She also reminded him to strictly follow the diet plan for her.


    With the doctor''s instructions, Liu Longwei quickly developed a plan in his head.


    All he just needed to do, was to implement them.


    "Let''s see how you will escape this time around." Liu Longwei said as he smiled to himself.


    Liu Longwei glanced at his wristwatch and wondered what was keeping his wife from returning even after the servants have come to clear the plates.


    A few minutes later, Chen Lihua came back with a plate of gr.a.p.es.


    The gr.a.p.es looked succulent and juicy.


    "What took you so long?." Liu Longwei asked her with a tight grown on her face.


    "Oh! I want to get this." Chen Lihua replied as she moved the place to his sight.


    "Enjoy!." He said as he continued with his work.


    "Chen Lihua sat opposite of him at the study table, before she began to flip through the book Liu Longwei asked her to bring.


    Both husband and wife studied in their aspects.


    Liu Longwei did his work-study, while Chen Lihua studied to learn more about the fetus.


    Chen Lihua felt that she could understand at a faster rate, probably because, she was eating gr.a.p.efruits.


    When Liu Longwei tried to take a piece, she slapped his hands away, and shifted the plate of gr.a.p.efruits, more to her side.


    "You won''t even give some to your husband?." Liu Longwei asked her with a smirk on his face.


    "No, it''s for the baby and me." Chen Lihua said, putting him off her list without a second thought.


    "Wow! You abandoned your husband after you learned you had another person in you. How good you are!." Liu Longwei said before fixing his gaze back to his work.


    Chen Lihua ignored him, as she was more interested in what she was reading, so she made attention to it.


    Being ignored was not a good feeling at all, and that how was how Liu Longwei was currently feeling.


    He was now feeling so insignificant in her eyes.


    He tried to get her attention by tapping the table with his fingers to see if he could distract, and get her to take even a glance at him.


    Fortunately for him, his plan worked, but the kind of look he got was not what he was asking for.


    He was expecting a loving look from his wife, but, instead, all he got was a warning glare.


    That alone was enough to erase any other ideas he had.


    Liu Longwei decided to concentrate on his work and leave her be.


    After some hours passed by without them talking to each other, Chen Lihua yawned and closed the book in her hand.


    "Are you tired?." Liu Longwei asked when he raised his head and was in the to catch her yawning.


    "Yeah, I am going to catch some sleep, see you later." Chen Lihua said as she stood to her feet.


    "Alright, just be careful on your way out." Liu Longwei said in a kind reminder.


    "Yeah, I know, my eyes are still functioning perfectly." Chen Lihua replied as she walked out of the room.

    "Yeah, I know, my eyes are still functioning perfectly." Chen Lihua replied as she walked out of the room.


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself as he watched her leave. But when he remembered his father''s actions, the smile disappeared from his face.


    At night, after dinner time, Liu Longwei went back to his study.


    But before then, he made sure Chen Lihua ate a considerable amount of food before he left.


    Now came to his study room, he phoned his mother to inquire about his father.


    Instead of getting a positive reply, he got one that made him mad in anger.


    His mother informed him that his father came home and packed a few clothes before leaving for an emergency trip.


    "What kind of work emergency does the company have for him to leave in a hurry?." Madam Liu inquired since her husband didn''t feel her in on the details before leaving as if the mountain was the fire.


    "Mum, don''t worry, everything is alright. Let me go and check on Lihua, she has not been eating well for some days now." Liu Longwei said, successfully diverting her attention.


    "Lihua has not been eating, how come you are only telling me now?." Madam Lihua asked in a raised voice, it was obvious that she was shocked.


    "I''m sorry Ma, But I will take care of it." Liu Longwei said.


    "Nonsense! I will come to cook for her tomorrow morning. Until then, take care of her and make sure she eats something." Madam Liu said and ended the call immediately.


    Liu Longwei glanced at his phone before keeping it on the table.


    He was indeed worried about his wife, but that was not his problem now. His worry was the sudden disappearance of his father.


    He had tried his number earlier, but the call went to voicemail, and that prompted him into calling his mother to inquire about his father.


    Liu Longwei was surprised that he would run away, it turns out that he was truly afraid of him!


    Liu Longwei rubbed his head before he continued with his work. He was not even interested in searching for his father or knowing his whereabouts.


    He didn''t even need to worry about him, because he would find him if he wanted to, and also get him to come home and do his biddings if he wanted to.


    Liu Longwei didn''t have time to worry about his unfaithful father. He had so many things on his plate.


    His wife was with a child, and he needed to take care of her.


    Another thing is that he had a lot of work on his plate now. Since he got married, he has left a lot of work behind.


    He came to love his wife on their first meeting, and since then, he has taken her far more important than his work.


    For example, he was supposed to travel in December for a business meeting regarding their newly acquired large plots of land in France, but he shifted the responsibility to his Assistant, Asst. Duyi.


    Instead of going to France, he took his wife on a travel holiday, totally neglecting his work responsibility.


    Anyone that has been monitoring him, or been on the lookout for him, would know that he has been the most laid-back CEO of all time. He would even successfully make it to the Times Magazine with this piece of news.


    But Liu Longwei was someone with principles. Since his wife was more important to him than any other thing, then he would do everything in his powers, and beyond to take good care of her. He would never regret his actions.


    Other CEOs are so busy, that they sometimes don''t have time for their families. They would be busy all Year-round with business trips, or probably trying to develop something new. They would even get their wives to be busy with them.


    But Liu Longwei was different. If possible, he would get his wife to quit her job and get her to stay at home, so that she won''t be stressed.


    He would even indulge her in trips to anywhere she wanted to go. Then if she was bored and wanted something to do, he would bring coaches that would teach her some fun things.


    But he would never do that because he knew that his wife derived joy from saving people''s lives. She would never bypass anybody she sees that is unwell. She would always try to help them.


    One day, he asked her why she walked so hard in the hospital, and this was her reply;


    "It is so uncomfortable to be ill. I have experienced being in ill health, and I know how uneasy that feels. So, I want to help as many people that I encounter, to feel better."


    Thinking about his wife, Liu Longwei closed his laptop and went to their bedroom to check on his wife.


    When he got to the bedroom, he didn''t see her there. He went to the walk-in closet, but he didn''t see her there, and instead, he heard water flushing from the bathroom, so he relaxed.


    Thinking she was making use of the bathroom, Liu Longwei went back to the bathroom to wait for her. There, he saw her laptop on the bed, turned on, so he glanced at it to see what she was working on.


    As his eyes caught the word, ''Cardiothoracic....'', he didn''t need anyone to tell him she was doing something that had to do with her career hospital.


    Liu Longwei checked his wristwatch, and saw that it''s been a minute since he had the flushing sound in the bathroom, so he thought ''Is she doing something else there?''


    With that thought, he stepped into the bathroom, he saw his wife standing in front of the mirror and glancing at herself with a worn-out look on her face.


    Chen Lihua glanced at him from the mirror and didn''t say anything to him.

 Chapter 384 - Scared to eat anything

    Chen Lihua glanced at him from the mirror and didn''t say anything to him.


    "Did you throw up?." Liu Longwei asked after he studied her appearance.


    She looked so tired, she splashed her face with water, and she was standing in front of the sink.


    These three things he noticed, gave him the idea that she must have thrown up the food she ate this night.


    "Mmmmmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply, for she was too tired to say anything.


    Liu Long felt sorry for her, so he said to her as he came to stand beside her and placed a hand on her waist "Sorry. How do you feel now?."


    "I''m fine now." Chen Lihua replied.


    They two stared at each other for a while, before Liu Longwei took back his gaze as he picked up a face towel to gently wipe her face with it.


    Liu Longwei spread the face towel on the towel rack, before escorting her to the bedroom with a hand on her shoulder.


    As he helped her sit comfortably on the bed, he asked. "Your stomach must be empty now, do you have anything you want to eat, tell me, I will send someone to get it for you."


    "I don''t want to eat anything, because I am scared that I will throw it up...it''s so tiring." Chen Lihua complained in a bitter tone.


    "Sweetheart, you have to try and eat something, for you and the baby. If you don''t eat anything, our baby will not be healthy." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "I don''t want to eat anything. I''m afraid that if I continue like this, I won''t only wretch my guts out, I might even throw up the baby as well." Chen Lihua complained.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as she caressed her face with his hand. "How do you think it''s possible to throw up your baby?."


    "Don''t be surprised that it''s possible." Chen Lihua said in reply as a slight smile appeared on her face.


    "Silly girl! I know you are hungry, but you don''t want to eat because you are scared of throwing up, but you can''t go to bed hungry. So, I will go out to get you something to eat. If you need anything, a maid will be just outside the door to help you out." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her lips gently, before standing to his feet.


    Chen Lihua covered her mouth with her palm as she glanced at him with a frown on her face.


    "What''s wrong? You don''t like my kisses anymore?." Liu Longwei asked with his hands in his trouser pockets.


    "It''s not that, I just threw up, and you are kissing me already, that''s the fact I don''t like." Chen Lihua explained.


    "There is nothing wrong with it. It''s not like you didn''t brush your teeth after that." Liu Longwei replied, not bothered about the matter.


    "But....." Chen Lihua managed to say before she was cut off.


    "There are no buts. As far as I''m not bothered, you don''t have to be bothered." Liu Longwei said to her with a gentle smile on his face.


    "Alright, I''m off now. I case you suddenly have any craving, call me, I promise, I will get you what you want, provided that it is not harmful to you and the baby." Liu Longwei assured her as he picked up his car key and wallet.


    He kissed her goodbye, before leaving the room.


    Chen Lihua smiled to herself before going ahead with her work. She was researching to see if there were any new techniques on some surgeries she would be performing in the month, that have a lower risk.


    She missed her work, and she can''t wait to get back to it. She felt that by now, a lot of people that have heart troubles, would be worried sick, and looking for solutions to their problems.


    Those are the kind of people that needed her attention and help.


    Few minutes into her work, her stomach made a rumbling sound. So she lowered her head and rubbed her stomach with her hand.


    Next, she started speaking to her baby in a gentle voice "Baby, are you hungry as well? Mum is sorry for starving you."


    Chen Lihua was not expecting to get a reply, so she smiled when her stomach rumbled again. She was getting really hungry


    She got out of bed and opened the door to her bedroom, to see a servant standing right outside the door, just like Liu Longwei told her.


    The servant immediately bowed to Chen Lihua when the door opened.


    "Get the chefs to make me a pudding." Chen Lihua instructed. Then the servant asked her what kind of pudding she liked, and how she wanted it.


    But Chen Lihua didn''t know the kind of pudding she wanted she didn''t know what she wanted to eat, so she just said pudding.


    Now asking her the type of pudding she wanted, is a difficult question to answer.


    "Tell them to make any kind of pudding, I will be fine with whatever they bring to me." Chen Lihua said after much thought.


    Having received instructions from her, the servant hurried away, as Chen Lihua went back to the room.


    "Baby doesn''t worry, Mum will get you something to eat." Chen Lihua spoke to the baby as she rubbed her stomach before sitting on the bed to try and continue with her work.


    Fifteen minutes later, a dessert plate of sweet milk pudding, was brought for her.


    Chen Lihua smiled and said to herself, ''Finally, I can feed my baby.''


    Chen Lihua put a spoon of the desert into her mouth. Then instead of a smile, her face was laced with a frown.


    She had a hard time swallowing the food.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/scared-to-eat-anything_51015124231708601 for visiting.


    The servant by the side saw her that she didn''t like the food after making out her facial expression. The young servant began to wonder if the Chefs were now slacking off.


    After managing to swallow the food in her mouth, Chen Lihua wiped her lips with the napkin before saying to the servant.


    "I''m sorry to trouble, please take this dish away."


    "Ma''am you didn''t like the food, then do you want something else?." The servant asked worriedly.


    "No, I''m fine. Take the food away. Instead of wasting it, eat it." Chen Lihua said to her.


    The servant didn''t have anything to say, for she had to do as her master has commanded.


    The servant thanked Chen Lihua before leaving with the food. She felt lucky that she has the opportunity to taste the food from the Michelin chefs. But she was somewhat scared that the food wouldn''t be edible since her female Boss rejected it.


    But because of Chen Lihua''s instructions, she didn''t dare to disobey her, so she transferred the pudding to another plate, before taking a bite.

 Chapter 385 - Buying all the food that existed in the world for her

    But because of Chen Lihua''s instructions, she didn''t dare to disobey her, so she transferred the pudding to another plate, before taking a bite.


    The servant was shocked by the taste of the pudding, that she had to eat another one to know if there was a problem with her taste buds.


    The dessert was sweet, very delicious. She was surprised that Chen Lihua rejected the food.


    Then the servant girl began to wonder what was wrong. At last, she concluded that her Mistress was sick, and that was the reason she didn''t like the food.


    The servant, therefore, continued eating the food happily. She was indeed grateful to her mistress for allowing her to eat the food prepared by people she would never have imagined.


    What a great opportunity!


    As the servant was eating the food, two other young female servants came into the kitchen and saw her eating the meal prepared for their Mistress, so they raised an alarm.


    The only calmed down when the other female servant explained the reason she was seen eating the food.


    "You should all try some of it, I bet that you would be licking your fingers after it." The first servant girl said to them with a smile on her face.


    The other two servants, glanced at each other, before taking a spoon to come and try the pudding.


    You need to have seen the marvelous expression on their faces when they tasted the dessert.


    The two of them confirmed that the dessert was delicious, and confessed that they have never had anything as delicious as it before in their lives.


    They even went ahead to plead with the first servant to give them some more, but she refused.


    She immediately took what was remaining of the food, and finished it.


    After she made sure to have finished everything, then she had time to pay attention to them while licking her lips, thereby, getting the other two to regret why they weren''t the ones to have gotten the golden opportunity.


    "I only asked you two to taste it out of the kindness of my heart. Now that I gave you a cup of rice, you are asking for the whole bag?. That is the sign to show that you are not grateful.


    After saying her piece, the servant took the plate to the sink to wash it, totally leaving the other in their world.


    In the bedroom, Chen Lihua was not happy that she wasn''t able to eat the dessert she requested.


    She found the dessert to be too sweet, and she couldn''t stomach it.


    The one she managed to put in her mouth, she had to use water to force it down her stomach.


    She sighed tiredly to herself as she put her laptop away, for her mind was too troubled to go on with her work.


    She laid on the bed with her tablet in her hand. Then she started browsing for delicious food, to see if anyone would catch her eyes.


    Luckily for her, she saw several dishes she wanted to eat.


    So she directly called Liu Longwei on phone, to tell him what she wanted.


    "Did you say that you feel like eating street food?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise as he glanced at the view in front of him.


    Liu Longwei was already on his way back when her call came in, but that was not what surprised him.


    What surprised him, was her request, ''street food''. That was weird to him.


    But for her happiness, he left his principles aside. He left aside the idea of only allowing her to eat healthy meals.


    His current agenda now was getting her to eat. Now, he was ready to get her anything she wanted to eat, all she needed to do, was to ask.


    So when he heard her request for street food, he accepted her request without lecturing her.


    Chen Lihua was surprised that he agreed to her request without making a fuss, so she smiled to herself.


    After the call, Liu Longwei got the driver to turn the car around, and so, they went into the street in search of late-night street foods.


    Liu Longwei had a hard time picking the street food, for there were so many of them, and that put him in a tough spot.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/buying-all-the-food-that-existed-in-the-world-for-her_51016570813599522 for visiting.


    Since his wife told him what she wanted, and he wasn''t good at picking what she might like, he decided to buy different varieties in other to save time, just before she lost her appetite.


    When He arrived home, he sent a servant to bring Chen Lihua down to the dining room, while he stays back to instruct the servants on how they should serve all the foods, drinks, and snacks he bought.


    When Chen Lihua heard from the servant that Liu Longwei was back, and had asked her to come downstairs to eat, some thoughts began to go through her head.


    ''He should have had the servants bring the food to the room. Just what did he buy for him to ask me to come down to eat it?''


    Just then, another thought came to her heard, and she locked shock as she thought of the possibility of that thought.


    ''Hope he didn''t buy all the food that exits in this world for me?''


    It was just as Chen Lihua thought. When she hurried downstairs to the dining room, She saw the entire large dining table, covered with different food delicacies.


    Seeing his wife staring at the dining table with shock written all over her face.


    "Sweetheart, I got all this for you. Come over and seat, and eat anything you want." Liu Longwei said as beckoned on her.


    "You got all these for me?." Chen Lihua asked, as she finally spared him a glance.


    "Yeah. Come over here and take a sit, don''t just stare at the food." Liu Longwei said as he walked to her, before dragging her to sit on the dining chair.


    "Did I fall from the sky? Did I ask you to bring everything you saw to our dining table?" Chen Lihua asked as she continued to glance at every food on the dining table.

 Chapter 386 - Finally found something to eat

    "Did I fall from the sky? Did I ask you to bring everything you saw to our dining table?" Chen Lihua asked as she continued to glance at every food on the dining table.


    "Stop complaining and pick whatever you like." Liu Longwei said to her as he moved the sweet food to her view.


    The servants by the side, who learned that their Mistress rejected the sweet milk pudding that was prepared for her, glanced at each other before bowing their heads.


    They had no right to talk!


    Chen Lihua glanced at the cake, chocolates, sweets, donuts, ice-cream, etc that was land in front of her in disdain.


    "Darling, I don''t want to eat this. Get the servants to take it away from my sight." Chen Lihua said to him as she covered her nose with her hand.


    Liu Longwei was stunned doe a while, but then he waved his hands, and the servants moved the sweet food away.


    Liu Longwei wanted to ask ''I thought you liked eating cakes and Ice Cream, what''s going on now?'' But he held the question in.


    Now was not the to ask questions. He would take it that the pregnancy hormones, were at work.


    The most important thing was getting her to eat.


    His worries were settled when he saw his wife picking some spicy food from the table.


    She was enjoying it.


    She picked up a piece of pork meat with her fork and took a bite from it.


    The taste was heaven in her mouth, so she put the remaining piece in her mouth without swallowing the other piece in her mouth.


    With this method, she tasted all the spicy food on the table before pointing out the ones she wasn''t interested in.


    Liu Longwei asked the servants to send those dishes, away.


    "Do you like meat so much?." Liu Longwei asked as he couldn''t hold back after watching her eat the pork meat, the cow meat, and then the chicken.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/finally-found-something-to-eat_51017374794579564 for visiting.


    "Yes, and they are not greasy, that is the important aspect of it. Here, you can have a taste." Chen Lihua said as she picked a piece of fried spicy chicken with her fork, before gesturing to him to open his mouth.


    Liu Longwei obediently opened his mouth, and Chen Lihua sent the piece of meat into his mouth.


    "It is hot!." Liu Longwei said with furrowed brows.


    He was tempted to throw up the meat, but Chen Lihua was staring at him with hawk eyes, so he couldn''t do it.


    "What do you mean by hot? It''s not hot at all, it''s cool. You don''t even need to blow air on it." Chen Lihua said to him as she continued eating.


    "Not that kind of hot. The meat is spicy, there is a lot of pepper in it." Liu Longwei explained after he swallowed the meat without eating it.


    Next, he proceeded to finish a glass of water, before he could rest assured.


    "It''s spicy, just the way I like it. Stop exaggerating, it''s not like the hotness is unbearable." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Since when did you start to eat spicy food? What you liked was something sweet, but not a lot of sweet." Liu Longwei questioned, but he already had an idea of the reason.


    "I guess that''s what the baby wants." Chen Lihua replied to him as she took some sips of water from her glass cup.


    After Chen Lihua has had her fill, she retired to their bedroom in satisfaction.


    Chen Lihua continued with her work in the bedroom, while Liu Longwei went back to his study to work.


    Around 11 PM when Liu Longwei came to their bedroom, he saw his wife sitting on the bed and lost in thought.


    "What are you thinking about?." He asked as he turned on the bedside lamp, before switching off the main lights with the remote.


    "I''m thinking about what happened today." Chen Lihua replied with a frown on her face.


    "So many things happened today, what exactly are you talking about?." Liu Longwei asked as a smirk appeared on his face.


    "I''m talking about our encounter at the drug store this morning." Chen Lihua explained further as she turned to glance at him.


    Liu Longwei glance at her as well, before sitting up on the bed.


    "I didn''t know you would still be worried about it." Liu Longwei said as he brought her into his arms.


    "Of course I have to be worried about it. That scene said a lot, so I want to know the truth." Chen Lihua demanded.


    "Okay, I will tell you the truth." Liu Longwei promised as he began to recount how he first found out that his father was cheating on his mother.


    He talked about the deal he made with his father and the promise he made. This talk led to what happened today.


    "Father broke the promise he made to mother?." Chen Lihua inquired.


    "Yes. And after that, he ran away because of my wrath." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Does the mother have an idea about this?." Chen Lihua asked in concern.


    "No. It will break her if she finds about all this mess." Liu Longwei replied as he caressed her arms with his other hand.


    "So what are going to do about father?." Chen Lihua asked because she was sure that she wouldn''t leave his father after he broke his promise and hurt their mother (although she is unaware of the matter).


    So, she wanted to know his plans.


    "Since he chose to go into hiding, I will have him locked up there for six months. His movements will be restricted." Liu Longwei said in reply.


    "Do you have that power to keep your father locked up for such a long time?." Chen Lihua asked after much thought.


    "Yes, and that is why he is afraid of me." Liu Longwei said as he brought her palm to his lips and kissed it.


    Chen Lihua leaned in closer to him. "What about mother? What will you tell her if she doesn''t see father for such a long time?."


    "Father will settle it. I didn''t restrict his communication. Don''t worry, he should be the one worried that mum will find out about his faithfulness. And in other to assure her, he would call her and come up with excuses so that she won''t be worried." Liu Longwei explained.

 Chapter 387 - Love from both sides

    "Father will settle it. I didn''t restrict his communication. Don''t worry, he should be the one worried that mum will find out about his faithfulness. And in other to assure her, he would call her and come up with excuses so that she won''t be worried." Liu Longwei explained.


    "Okay. Since you had the mind to punish your father, I am convinced in my spirit that you also punished that woman. What kind of punishment did you give to her?." Chen Lihua asked as she laid comfortably on his chest.


    Liu Longwei patted her back as he replied. "I had her locked up somewhere, but she would be released in the next twenty-four hours."


    Chen Lihua glanced at him in surprise, "Just that?."


    "No, that wouldn''t seem like a punishment at all. I had her locked up with no food, Then after she is released, she would be coping with her ruined career." Liu Longwei revealed his plans to her.


    "Well, that''s fair enough. I mean, who asked her to chase after a married man, someone old enough to be her father?." Chen Lihua said, not taking pity on the young woman''s situation.


    If she was in her mother-in-law''s shoes, she might even have the lady killed or maybe done something worse to ruin her reputation. That is her mean she can be if she ever finds herself in that relationship.


    Her husband''s past was his past, but he shouldn''t ever think of cheating on her, otherwise, the consequences would be daring.


    Liu Longwei cuddled her as he revealed his hidden agenda "I wanted to get rid of her for good, But then I thought about our baby. I don''t want to get blood on my hands, so I decided to spare her life, and give her a punishment worse than death. Who knows, she might end up killing herself if she can not bear to live with her shame."


    ''I guess we are in the same shoes.'' Chen Lihua said to herself.


    The reason she said something like this to herself, was because she and Liu Longwei had similar plans of killing in that kind of situation.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she spoke up after a minute of silence. "I don''t know which light to see Father in now. I don''t think I can still give him the same respect as before."


    "There is no need to worry about that, you can just greet him casually. If he wants respect from anybody, then he has to earn it, and not command it." Liu Longwei said in reply.


    "Aww! You are so sweet." Chen Lihua said as she giggled like a child.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/love-from-both-sides_51046816510176004 for visiting.


    "Sweeter than honey?" Liu Longwei asked with a charming smile on his face, as he lowered his head to brush his lips against hers.


    "Mmmmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply. As she couldn''t talk because of Liu Longwei''s actions, she had to reply in that manner.


    "Do you want to taste how sweet I am?." Liu Longwei asked in a suggestive tone.


    "Go away! All you can think of is how to bully me." Chen Lihua responded as she gently hit his chest.


    Liu Longwei asked as he feigned ignorance "Who said anything about wanting to bully you?."


    "I know you, you are a bad person." Chen Lihua said as she closed her eyes.


    "Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he gazed at her. Then he remembered something.


    "Mum said she would come tomorrow morning to make breakfast for you."


    Chen Lihua''s eyes immediately shot open at the new information. "What did you tell her?."


    "That you were not eating." Liu Longwei confessed.


    Chen Lihua stared at him speechlessly "It seems like you can not handle me alone, so you went to ask for help."


    "You can say that. Try to get some sleep, it''s late already." Liu Longwei said to her as he caressed her cheek.


    "Goodnight." Chen Lihua said to him before closing her eyes.


    "Goodnight my sweetheart." Liu Longwei replied as he kissed her forehead before closing his eyes to sleep.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua woke up late. She turned to look at the other side of the bed and found it empty. So she sat up on the bed and got into a yoga position to practice her meditation.


    After that, she washed up before going downstairs for breakfast.


    Downstairs, she saw her two mothers (Lady Chen and Madam Liu), placing several dishes on the dining table.


    Immediately they caught sight of her, they hurried to her side with smiles on their faces before gently pulling her towards the dining area.


    Chen Lihua greeted them and asked, "Am I safe?."


    "Yes, you are safe." Madam Liu said in reply as she drew out a seat for her.


    Lady Chen served her a plate of rice as she said, "Sit down and eat."


    Chen Lihua looked around the living area, and catching the shadow of the familiar person, she asked as she picked up her spoon.


    "Mum, where is my husband?."


    "He already left for work." Lady Chen replied as she drew out two seats for her and Madam Liu.


    "Oh." Chen Lihua exclaimed before she started eating.


    The two mothers sat on each of her sides and kept piling up some side dishes on her plate.


    Chen Lihua kept telling them that she could eat by herself, but no one paid any attention to her words, so she gave up and ate whatever she put on her plate.


    "Mum, I''m okay." Chen Lihua said after eating not up to half of her food.


    "That''s not possible, you have to eat more, Look at you, you are so skinny." Lady Chen said to her with furrowed brows.


    "Lihua, you have to eat enough for you and the baby. Longwei said you haven''t been eating much these days, so we came to cook for you. Try to eat more, the food was carefully prepared just for you." Madam Liu said to her in a kind manner.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her and remembered her father-in-law''s actions

 Chapter 388 - Change in work schedule

    Chen Lihua glanced at her and remembered her father-in-law''s actions, then she wondered what a good woman like her did to deserve an unfaithful man as a husband.


    There was no use dwelling on the matter because what has happened, has happened.


    Finally tired of staying at home, Chen Lihua brought up the topic at night, and Liu Longwei listened to her.


    He revealed that he had already changed her work schedule.


    She only goes to work when she has surgery, meetings, and a consultancy section, scheduled. Aside from that, she is home all day.


    He also informed her of his search for a female bodyguard.


    "What do you need a female bodyguard for?." Chen Lihua asked, not understanding the point of getting another bodyguard when they had more than enough.


    "The female is for you." Liu Longwei replied.


    "For me? Why? I already have bodyguards that follow me when I''m out." Chen Lihua said to him in confusion.


    Liu Longwei glanced at her as he went further to explain, "You need a female bodyguard who will follow you everywhere you go, even to the restroom."


    "Are you kidding me? Someone will follow me to the restroom each time I want to make use of it? Am I a child?." Chen Lihua asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    "Well, I''m serious here." Liu Longwei replied with a serious expression on his face.


    The couple stared at each other for seconds, exchanging glances, none of them, willing to give in.


    After what seemed like ages, Liu Longwei finally spoke up.


    "Sweetheart, I know you hate this, but I have to do this, it''s for your good. You know how busy and rowdy the hospital is, and people can bump into each other."


    Liu Longwei held her hands as he continued, "You are now pregnant, so you don''t need the stress. The female bodyguard will disguise as your assistant, you will always put on simple clothing, so you don''t have to worry about people thinking you are haughty. I''ve spoken to your direct Boss (Chief cardiothoracic surgeon), so he doesn''t have any problem with it."


    Chen Lihua was not in the mood to argue with him since he was doing all this for her good.


    At least, nobody has to know that she has a bodyguard the follows her everywhere, including the restroom.


    "Apart from the Chief, who else in my workplace knows that I am pregnant?." Chen Lihua asked in concern.


    She didn''t want anyone giving her that curious and weird look. She didn''t want to be the center of attention and get people pointing at her and whispering amongst themselves.


    She doesn''t want any of it!


    "You can rest assured that your Chief is the only person that knows your present status." Liu Longwei assured her with a smile on his face, for he understood her worry, and therefore put it into consideration.


    "That''s better." Chen Lihua said as she sighed in relief.


    After her work schedule was settled, they moved on to take about some other crucial matters, like her next Doctor''s appointment and the rest...


    On her next Doctor''s appointment, Liu Longwei went with her, as he didn''t want to miss out on anything concerning their child, and his wife''s health.


    After the usual basic test, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were an opportunity to see their child.


    "The fetus is fully formed, and the s.e.x organs have developed. Do you want to know your baby''s gender?." The doctor asked as she gazed at them with a smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei glanced at the doctor, then glanced at themselves before looking back at the doctor.


    Then they both said in unison, "No!."


    "Okay." The doctor said in reply.


    "Doctor why is the baby''s head bigger than the body?." Liu Longwei asked curiously as he pointed to the screen.


    The doctor smiled, that was indeed a funny question.


    "It''s normal for the baby''s head to be bigger than it''s a body at this stage of pregnancy. At sixteen weeks, that''s at four months, the baby''s hand and body will be well proportioned."


    "Okay." Liu Longwei nodded at the new profound knowledge he just got.


    "At fourteen weeks, the fetus heartbeat can be felt during the ultrasound. So when you come back next time, you will get to hear your baby''s heartbeat and also see that its body is uniformed." The doctor added.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/change-in-work-schedule_%!d(string=51090743019753657) for visiting.


    "Doctor, I have an important question to ask." Liu Longwei said with a serious look on his face.


    "Please go ahead and ask your question, Mr. Liu." The doctor said as she gestured with her hand.


    "We haven''t been intimate since we discovered we were pregnant. Is it okay for us to be intimate while we are carrying?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua nearly threw up blood.


    ''Tsk tsk. This man doesn''t fail to shock me each time we come here. How did he manage to raise this type of question effortlessly?. He needed to be given a trophy for being calm in this awkward situation.''


    "Yes, you can. As long as she is comfortable with it, you can be intimate at any time. You''re being intimate, will help the fetus feel its parents'' love and care." The doctor said in a professional note.


    She was not shy when this question was raised, and that is to show you that she is experienced.


    Throughout the time Liu Longwei raised that question, and the doctor replied to him, Chen Lihua hid her face away in shame.


    She didn''t how she would face the doctor if they were to meet in another location.


    Her husband has thrown her face (reputation) away without regard.


    And he doesn''t fail to impress her each time a situation came up. There would always be a way for him to show that he was, Liu Longwei!


    The doctor chatted with them for a while, and they left after she gave them the date for the next appointment.

 Chapter 392 - Pregnancy at sixteen weeks

    "Our baby can hear us talk now. So we can talk and sing some lullaby to her, and she will hear us." Chen Lihua revealed happily.


    She couldn''t hide the joy in her heart.


    "That''s great news! I will download some songs, so the three of us can listen to it together." Liu Longwei said in response.


    He was happy to learn about this new development of their baby. But then he asked, "You said she? Are we having a girl?."


    "Oh, not that. I just had to use a pronoun since I didn''t want to refer to our baby as ''it''." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Okay. We will talk about the baby later, I have an important video conference. Just give me a few hours and I will be through." Liu Longwei requested as he pointed at his laptop screen, and it was then that Chen Lihua noticed the footage on the laptop screen.


    "OMG! I''m so sorry, I didn''t know you were busy. I will see you later, bye." Chen Lihua said as she immediately went away, without waiting for him to say anything.


    Liu Longwei smiled softly as he watched his wife leave. Then he continued with his meeting.


    Chen Lihua on the other hand went back to reading the newsletter that was piled up for her.


    Today is Sunday, so she wanted to use this day to know more about her unborn child, and her body during this period. Her baby bump was still tiny, and not yet pronounced, and this is so because of genes. She got her mother''s genes.


    When Lady Chen was pregnant with Chen Lihua, the public didn''t find out about it even though she was still very much a media sensation then.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/pregnancy-at-sixteen-weeks_%!d(string=51166504917460066) for visiting.


    Lady Chen hid her pregnancy till she was about 6 months gone, only then did she announce that she was pregnant, and also reveal how long she''s been.


    Back then, the public didn''t believe her, because they always see her recent post and pictures o social media, and none of that divulged that kind of information.


    So they doubted her and asked her for proof, so Lady Chen had to do a photo shoot, and then she uploaded pictures of her wearing a tight dress, and the picture was taken from a side angle.


    The pictures shocked everyone, and they began to ask questions on how she still had a baby bump not considered normal for six months pregnant, but they did not forget to send in their congratulatory messages.


    Another reason Lady Chen''s baby bump wasn''t visible then, was because she purposely hid it. She did that by avoiding wearing thin and tight clothes. She always wore thicker clothes and jackets to shield the baby bump.


    Only those around her like her family, close friends, and agency then, knew about the pregnancy.


    This is the same step that Chen Lihua wants to follow.


    She doesn''t want the public to know she is pregnant, and if possible she doesn''t want them to know till she gives birth, so she is going to put in a lot of effort to achieve her goals. It''s not going to be an easy fit, but she will do her best.


    To achieve this goal, Chen Lihua invited a photographer and did a private photo shoot in the house.


    She wore different outfits and took pictures at different locations in the house. She changed hairstyles and makeup.


    She also took pictures at some locations in City B by herself, some were selfies, and some were portrait taken by her bodyguard, K2.


    She did all these within two days (during a weekend).


    You might be wondering while she took a considerable amount of effort to take so many pictures. Like, what is she using them for?


    Well, she is going to use those pictures she took for the rainy days. She will upload them one by one when her bump is pronounced, so she can use the pictures to deceive the public.


    If she does this, nobody aside from her family, and the few in her workplace will know she is pregnant.


    The public will not have any idea of what is going on, so they will just be shocked when they hear the news that Chen Lihua had put to birth.


    They will think it''s a joke and be left in the wandering zone.


    Liu Longwei was in support of his wife''s idea. He didn''t want anything about his children to be food for the sight of the public. He and Chen Lihua already agreed to keep their children away from the media, so they will not be affected by whatever goes on with the world.


    They wanted their children to grow up like any other children out there, comfortable, without pressure, and away from the prying eyes of the media and public.


    And to attain this, Liu Longwei prepared a contract for the Medical Directors at SUH (the hospital that Chen Lihua works at). It was more like an agreement for them to sign. The main point in the contract is that they were not allowed to divulge any news about Chen Lihua''s pregnancy to anybody.


    They''re also a lot of other preparations they''ve made.


    Chen Lihua will be able to hide her baby bump when she goes out if she wears loose clothes, and big sweaters and windbreakers.


    Initially, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were worried about the size of her baby bump. It was not pronounced, so that got them worried. They had to ask the doctor who assured them that everything was fine.


    This gene was an advantage to Chen Lihua because she can easily hide her baby bump.


    As for her weight, Chen Lihua didn''t add much, because she was under a strict diet and a tight watch.


    At this stage of pregnancy, most women see varicose veins start to appear around their feet, and this is because of their weight gain. But Chen Lihua and some other women were an exception because they were being careful about what they put in their mouths.


    Whenever Chen Lihua tries to be naughty and tries to eat something that is off the menu, she will give up on the idea after she remembers how ugly the varicose veins appear to be.


    She hates it, even though it''s harmless.

 Chapter 393 - Who is stopping you?

    The only thing Chen Lihua did, for now, was to change her undergarments.


    Liu Longwei personally ordered them.


    So Chen Lihua no longer wore that s.e.xy underwear anymore, she wore things that are made of cotton, and that is more comfortable.


    Her closet didn''t have an entire change, just that her underwears were the main focus. Because Chen Lihua had a baby bump now, she needed to wear comfortable pants, and as for her bust size, it increased in size.


    She already had an ample chest, so putting on weight there, there was bound to be a big difference. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were now a size bigger, thereby making her look more busty.


    Chen Lihua hated how to figure right now.


    This day, she stood in the closet in her underwear (bra and pants) and kept taking glances at her body in the mirror.


    The bra she wore today, couldn''t cover her b.r.e.a.s.t, as most parts of it were threatening to spill out from the bra. So she stared at her body with a frown on her face, as the tiny baby bump stood in place.


    Liu Longwei into the closet to check on her, he was already dressed in a suit and ready to leave for work.


    He caught that frown on her face and asked as he approached her. "Sweetheart, what''s wrong?."


    Chen Lihua glanced at him, before pointing at her chest as she replied, "This is what''s wrong."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/who-is-stopping-you_%!d(string=51207504675274415) for visiting.


    "Oh!." Liu Longwei said in reply as he fixed his eyes on her chest. "They have become even bigger than two months ago."


    "I don''t like it, I feel embarrassed." Chen Lihua commented with a deep frown as she stared at her chest from the mirror view.


    "What''s there to be embarrassed about? You are pregnant, so it''s normal for your b.o.o.b.s to put on some weight." Liu Longwei said in reply as h stretched his hand to touch the visible area of her b.r.e.a.s.t.


    "They are so big now, and everybody will be staring at it." Chen Lihua complained as she hit his hand away.


    "They can only stare, and can''t touch." Liu Longwei said in reply as he lowered his head to kiss her b.o.o.b.s, with a playful smile on his face.


    "Longwei what do you think you are doing?." Chen Lihua asked in an alarmed tone. This was the very person he was complaining to a few seconds ago, and now, what was he trying to do?.


    "Am I not allowed to touch my wife?." Liu Longwei asked with a disapproving look on his face.


    "I didn''t say you can''t touch me. We were in the middle of a discussion remember, so from looking at my b.o.o.b.s, you went on to touch them, and as if that was not enough, you kissed them. And if care is not taken, something deeper will happen." Chen Lihua responded before moving away from him in search of a dress from her closet.


    "There is absolutely nothing wrong if something else goes down. I haven''t touched you for two months now." Liu Longwei commented as he hugged her from behind.


    "You''ve been touching me a lot these days, especially when you see me half n.a.k.e.d, is it not enough?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze fixed on her dresses. She was looking for the right one to pick.


    "We haven''t had s*x for two months now, I''m hungry." Liu Longwei said as he placed his jaw on her shoulder and held her waist loosely. He was careful so he wouldn''t put pressure on her baby bump.


    "Did I stop you?." Chen Lihua retorted without paying attention to her words. Her eyes finally caught a dress, so she picked it up, and removed the hanger.


    Liu Longwei didn''t expect those words as a response from her, so he was taken aback by it. "Hmmm... you said this, don''t forget your words."


    ''This woman is getting bolder as the days go by'' He thought.


    Chen Lihua was not in the mood to listen to him, so without much thought, she said to him as she wore her dress, "You will be late for work, I thought you had an important meeting?."


    "I will send you to work. The female bodyguard I arranged for you, will start work next week. I have given you enough time to yourself. So by Monday, she will start tagging along with you. For now, she will have to learn the rules, and some important information regarding your work." Liu Longwei revealed.


    "That''s fine!. How do you see the dress?." Chen Lihua asked as she twirled and gazed at him with an expectant smile on her face.


    "The dress is fin..." Liu Longwei suddenly stopped in his words as his gaze fell on her chest. He could very well see some part of her b.o.o.b.s that was revealed by the dress, so he frowned and took a step towards her.


    "What''s wrong?." Chen Lihua asked as her face was laced in confusion.


    Why did he suddenly stop smiling? Why did he stop halfway with the compliments?


    Liu Longwei stretched his hand as he tried to button up the first button of the dress (The dress Chen Lihua picked out had few buttons at the top), but his efforts were in vain. So he put in more effort and finally buttoned it, but the result was bad.


    When he buttoned the dress, Chen Lihua felt her chest was constricted, and she couldn''t breathe properly, so she immediately unbuttoned the dress as she breathed heavily.


    "Are you trying to get me killed?." Chen Lihua asked a little breathlessly as he gazed at him.


    "I''m sorry about that. I was only trying to cover her chest, you know, people will keep glancing at it at your workplace if you don''t cover it." Liu Longwei said as he approached her to make sure she was alright.


    "I think you should change into a new dress, I don''t want anyone staring at what''s mine. But if you want to wear the dress so badly, change the bra, or wear a tube inside. I don''t care, I just don''t want to see any part of your chest exposed." Liu Longwei said to her with a serious expression on his face.


    Chen Lihua looked down to check the dress out, and she discovered that her chest that was exposed, was not too good, so she listened to him and changed into another dress.

 Chapter 394 - The surprise visit

    Chen Lihua looked down to check the dress out, and she discovered that her chest that was exposed, was not too good, so she listened to him and changed into another dress.


    "Mmhmm! This one is better." Liu Longwei said with a smile of satisfaction as he gazed at her.


    Chen Lihua smiled softly as she put on a big sweater, and Liu Longwei helped her with the windbreakers.


    "Thank you! She said to him as she walked to her vanity table. She picked up a lipgloss and before she could smear the stuff on her lips, Liu Longwei snatched it from her.


    Empty-handed, Chen Lihua glanced at him in surprise. "What was that for?."


    Liu Longwei studied the body of the lipgloss with keen interest. Seeing nothing wrong with it, he handed it back to her.


    "I wanted to make sure it didn''t have any chemical that would be harmful to the baby." He said in reply.


    "This one is safe. I don''t use anything that has harmful chemicals, I don''t want to ruin my skin." Chen Lihua replied as she glanced at herself in the mirror as she applied the light pink lipgloss on her lips.


    Next, she picked up her vanilla-scented perfume. As she sniffed the bottle without opening it, her face immediately squeezed in a frown as she quickly put the bottle down.


    "You don''t like the scent?." Liu Longwei asked from the side.


    Chen Lihua nodded as she covered her nose with her palm, but the problem seemed to get worst, so she moved her hand away from her nose.


    "Gosh! It smells horrible. I can''t even stand the scent. Since when did the scent of my favorite perfume start to irritate me?." Chen Lihua asked no one in particular as she wiped her hand on her dress.


    She looked angry!


    "Sorry... Maybe the baby doesn''t like it. Are you alright?." Liu Longwei asked as he watched her actions.


    "I''m fine." Chen Lihua replied as she started looking for something on the vanity table.


    "Where did the other perfume go to?." She asked as her forehead creased further.


    Liu Longwei looked alarmed by the sudden question. But then, he went back to his usual self, pretending that nothing was wrong.


    "Darling, did you see the other perfume?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at him, she seemed annoyed.


    "Mmmm maybe no. Why don''t you use mine for the time being?" Liu Longwei said as he passed his perfume to her, but she rejected it.


    Chen Lihua pushed his hand away and said with a scrunched-up nose "I don''t want it. Who knows, I might even throw up, and that will ruin my mood further."


    "It seems like the servants are slacking off in their job." Chen Lihua murmured to herself


    "Alright let''s go, I don''t want to be late looking for perfume." Chen Lihua said as she grabbed her white coat and handbag.


    "I will take that for you, you can put this one on." Liu Longwei said as he took the bag and coat from her, as he passed a mask to her.


    "What do I need the mask for?." Chen Lihua asked as she took the mask from him, and lead the way out.


    "Sandstorm." Liu Longwei gave a simple reply as he picked up his work briefcase from the bed, and walked out of the room with his wife.


    Chen Lihua smiled, "I won''t be outdoor, so I don''t need the mask." She said as she waved the mask in her hand.


    "Hold onto it, you might need it some other time." Liu Longwei said to her as he entered the elevator with her.


    This was the month of March, which is the beginning of Spring. Because of the sandstorm and more pollen in the air, it is suggested to wear a mask when there is an outdoor activity.


    It is also advisable to wear clothes such as; windbreakers, jackets, sweaters and other clothes to keep warm.


    After New Year''s day, Liu Huiling spent one more week at the Liu Villa, before going back to her home.


    She had little expectations from what used to be a home to her.


    Her mother-in-law asked her to come over to the family house, but she said she had so many things to at work, so she couldn''t make it.


    And when her mother-in-law asked her son about it, he said the same thing as she did.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/the-surprise-visit_%!d(string=51271950391115666) for visiting.


    Zhang Wei didn''t want his mother to know he wasn''t on good terms with his wife, so he lied as well, for he knew that she would find out they were not on good terms if she observed their actions towards each other for two hours.


    He didn''t want to give any explanation, so he would do anything to avoid it.


    Since her daughter-in-law didn''t bring the children to spend the new year with her, and the way Liu Huiling has always been coming up with excuses, and always given reasons on why she couldn''t come over, she started suspecting that something was wrong.


    So she decided to visit them without informing any of them. But before that, she phoned Liu Huiling to know if she would be seeing her in the house any time soon.


    The woman received a negative reply. Liu Huiling said she was sick, and so couldn''t make a trip back to the house.


    Now that her daughter-in-law has made things easier for her, she decided to visit them unannounced.


    On this day, Liu Huiling was shocked beyond measure to her mother-in-law in her house, helping out in the kitchen when she got home from work.


    "You are back?." Her mother-in-law asked with a smile on her face.


    "Yeah. Mother, what are you doing here?." Liu Huiling asked as she walked into the kitchen.


    "Is that how you should welcome me?." Her mother-in-law berated in a kind tone as she dished out food from the pot.


    "Mother this is like a second home to you, so you don''t need to be treated like a guest. I''m only surprised to see you because you didn''t inform me of your coming here". Liu Huiling replied.


    "Since you didn''t want to come over to see me, I decided to make the trip myself. After all, I can still move about, I''m not bedridden." Her mother-in-law retorted.

 Chapter 395 - Your son is the reason Im this way

    "Since you didn''t want to come over to see me, I decided to make the trip myself. After all, I can still move about, I''m not bedridden." Her mother-in-law retorted.


    "Mother it''s not I never wanted to come over to the house. I''ve been busy at work, and work hasn''t been so easy for me lately." Liu Huiling half-lied.


    "You can always take some time off from work. And I know you wouldn''t have trouble taking a leave because the company belongs to your family." Her mother-in-law replied as she carried some dishes to the dining room.


    "Mother, even if the company belongs to my family, I can''t jeopardize my work." Liu Huiling said as she carried the rest of the dishes out.


    "Alright, let''s not dwell on it. Wash your hands and come and eat." Her mother-in-law says to her after she put the food down on the table.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/your-son-is-the-reason-i''m-this-way_%!d(string=51323110682582630) for visiting.


    Liu Huiling returned from the kitchen after washing her hands.


    "Mother, where are the children?." Liu Huiling asked as she took a seat at the dining.


    "They are sleeping after playing for some time." Mrs. Zhang replied as a doting smile appeared on her face.


    "I guess they played for a long time for them to be sleeping at noon. They rarely take naps in the afternoon." Liu Huiling replied as she watched her mother-in-law dish some food out on a plate for her.


    "Those little ones... You said you were not feeling so good a few days ago, how are you now? Did you go to see a doctor?." Mrs. Zhang asked as a worried look replaced the smile that was on her face.


    Liu Huiling faked a cough before replying with a soft smile on her face.


    "I didn''t go to the hospital. I''m better now."


    Mrs. Zhang gazed at her as she advised, "Don''t stress yourself too much. You have two children who need you to spend time with them. You also have a husband who needs your love. Take things one at a time."


    At the reminder of her husband, Liu Huiling felt pain in her chest, but she managed to control her facial expression and body language.


    She can''t let her mother-in-law find out that something was wrong.


    She has managed to keep things under wraps for long months now, she can continue to do that only if she trod carefully.


    That''s right, Liu Huiling has never divulged the things happening in her marriage to anyone.


    Although there is suspicion from some people, she has still refused to comment on anything about the matter.


    "Yes, mother." Liu Huiling replied as she began to eat.


    Her mother-in-law kept piling up food for her.


    Liu Huiling saw the mountain of food that was heaped up for her. She had to raise an alarm, or who was going to eat the food,?


    "Mother it''s okay, I''m still struggling to finish the one on my plate."


    "See how skinny you are. Who would believe you are already a mother of two? I want you to look healthy and radiant just like over a year ago." Mrs. Zhang said as she picked a few side dishes for herself.


    ''Mum, your son is the reason I''m this way.'' Liu Huiling said to herself as she managed to eat two more spoonfuls of her food, before putting down her spoon.


    "You''re done eating? So fast?." Mrs. Zhang gave her a look of surprise.


    "Mother thank you for the food, I enjoyed it." Liu Huiling replied as she stood up to carry her plates.


    "Leave the plates here, I will send them away. Just go up and freshen up, and probably take a nap. I will set food for the children when they wake up." Mrs. Zhang said to her in a kind voice.


    "Thank you, mother." Liu Huiling replied with a grateful smile on her face as she turned to walk away.


    That night, Mrs. Zhang kept checking the time with a worried look on her face.


    Well, I''m quite sure that she must have checked the time more than a hundred times.


    Not being able to bear the suspense any longer, she hurried over to her daughter-in-law''s side to ask, "Ling, does Zhang Wei normally come home this late?."


    Liu Huiling was taken aback by the sudden question, so she glanced at her wristwatch to check the time.


    When she discovered that it was very late, there was one option left for her, and that was to lie as usual.


    "Not really mother, he comes home late on some days when the company matters are really serious. He doesn''t come with any work, so he has to finish them at work before coming home."


    "Even at that. Take a look at the time, it''s almost 11 pm. What kind of work will keep him out by this time of the night?." Mrs. Zhang asked, not buying that idea.


    "Mother, he has lots of work to do these days, because there is a promotion that is coming up in his company." Liu Huiling told another lie.


    She was truly becoming an expert at telling lies!


    "He had better be promoted, otherwise, all of these would be a waste. It''s so late, he needs to come home. Did he forget that he has a wife and children at home?. I think shouldn''t be talking too much, let me give him a call." Mrs. Zhang said as she walked away.


    Liu Huiling breathed a sigh of relief after she left, She was truly relieved.


    She forgot to inform her husband about his mother''s surprise visit. She must not have put him in mind.


    Maybe she didn''t care anymore ?????¡â?


    As for Zhang Wei, he had already promised his girlfriend earlier that day, that he would be staying over at the apartment he rented for her.


    Now suddenly receiving a call from his mother, he saw himself flying back home from his girlfriend''s apartment.


    "Where are you?." Mrs. Zhang questioned with authority in her voice.


    "Ma? I''m at the office." Zhang Wei lied as he winked at his half-n.a.k.e.d girlfriend.


    "Why is it so quiet over there?." Mrs. Zhang asked with furrowed brows.


    "Mum that''s because we are few that is working overtime." Zhang Wei replied as he blew a kiss on his girlfriend.

 Chapter 396 - Separate bedrooms once again

    "Mum that''s because we are few that is working overtime." Zhang Wei replied as he blew a kiss on his girlfriend.


    He was sitting on the messy bed in only his underpants.


    "I don''t care! Did you forget you left a wife and two kids at home? What in the world are you thinking?." Mrs. Zhang asked in an unhappy tone.


    There was a sudden silence. When his girlfriend wanted to speak, he got her to shut up by placing a finger on his lips.


    "I want you to leave whatever you are doing and come home this instant." Mrs. Zhang commanded in an authoritative tone.


    "But Mum, I still have some unfinished work. I plan on coming back tomorrow morning and taking a day off tomorrow." Zhang Wei replied.


    He was truly an expert when it came to telling lies. He must have passed some of the DNA to his wife.


    He is a true mentor!


    "I give you ten minutes to come back home! If you are not back by that time, you will see... I''m waiting for you!" Mrs. Zhang threatened in an ugly tone.


    "Mum, are you in my house?." Zhang Wei sat up on the bed properly, as he disregarded the signs his half-n.a.k.e.d girlfriend was giving to him.


    He seemed to be shocked by the sudden discovery.


    Mrs. Zhang disregarded as she said to him, and ended the call without waiting for a response from him.


    "Your children fell asleep while waiting for you. What kind of a father are you? You didn''t even give a call back home. Did I train you to become like this? You still have ten minutes to come back home. The road is free, so you can make it back in time."


    Duh...duh...duh!


    That was the only sound Zhang Wei could hear. He couldn''t hear his mother''s voice any longer.


    He immediately got up from the bed, and speedily threw his clothes on.


    "Zhang Wei, here are you going to? What to you spending the night with me?." His girlfriend asked from the side, as she watched him out on his clothes at lightning speed.


    She has never seen him do things so quickly. She never knew he had such abilities, so she was marveled. But her question still needed an answer.


    "My mother is at my place, and I have ten minutes to get home." Zhang Wei replied as he tied his shoelaces after putting on his socks.


    "Why are you so scared of her?." His girlfriend asked, not seeing the big deal with his mother''s commands.


    "You will not understand. I will call you tomorrow, good night." Zhang Wei said as he picked up his overcoat and properties before rushing out of the house.


    I''m very sure he hadn''t the time to glance at her, for he was in a hurry!


    Zhang Wei managed to get home within nine minutes. When he got home, it was his mother that opened the door for him.


    He had a good discussion with her in the living room, before she allowed him to go up to his room.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that my mother came to the house?." Zhang Wei questioned immediately he got into his bedroom.


    He saw Liu Huiling sitting on the vanity chair and staring at him through the mirror.


    "It slipped my mind." Liu Huiling replied casually as she stood up and went to the bed to lay down.


    "It slipped your mind?." Zhang Wei asked with an unbelievable expression on his face. He didn''t seem to believe her.


    "I had a tiring day, so please switch off the lights, and make sure you get rid of that disgusting scent on your body before you climb onto the bed." Liu Huiling instructed as she covered herself with the duvet before turning her back towards him.


    Zhang Wei sniffed his shirt before going into the bathroom to take a shower.


    He had his girlfriend''s scent on him, but it was faint. He wondered how sensitive her nose was to be able to perceive it from such distance.


    Zhang Wei had doubts, and it was not for nothing. Within the time they had this little conversation, he didn''t approach her, so how was she able to perceive the scent?


    This was not his problem now. He needed to take a shower and rest his head.


    He had a long day!

    .........


    This month of April, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were now sharing separate bedrooms. But how did this happen?


    Chen Lihua woke up one morning and suggested that they should go back to stay in their different rooms.


    "Why?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise as he awaited her answer.


    Chen Lihua adjusted herself on the bed before speaking with a scowl on her face. She seemed to not be in a good mood.


    "I can''t stand the scent from the bathroom after your morning shave. It has now become a habit for me to throw up every morning when I get into the bathroom after you. It''s so tiring, I can''t stand it."


    "You should have told me about it when you noticed, I would have gone into the bathroom after you." Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua ignored him and continued, "The second point, is that I always disturb your sleep each time I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. You normally turn in late, so it''s best if we use separate bedrooms, that way, you get to have enough rest."


    "Sweetheart, have I ever complained about that to you?." Liu Longwei asked in confusion, as he tried to reason with her.


    But Chen Lihua didn''t want to reason the matter at all, for she has made up her mind already.


    "The last point is that I need my space. I want to go back to having my personal space once again."


    "Babe, you don''t want to see me anymore?." Liu Longwei asked as he gazed into her eyes in search of answers.

    "Babe, you don''t want to see me anymore?." Liu Longwei asked as he gazed into her eyes in search of answers.


    "It''s not like I don''t want to see you. I just want to stay alone for some time. And besides, we will be seeing each other at the dining table, you can come into my room if you want to see me." Chen Lihua said as she looked into his eyes.


    This Babe was damm serious! ????


    "But you need me by your side. You are not supposed to be alone in this condition. What if an emergency comes up in the middle of the night? Sweetheart, you need me by your side. We can talk things through. If there is anything you don''t like, I will change it for you." Liu Longwei said as he tried to reason with her one more time.


    "I need you to get someone to touch up my room, and do a little decoration, and filter the rooms, I don''t want to breathe in bad air when I move in. If you can''t help with it, tell me before you leave for work, so I can arrange things myself. My Yoga coach should be here now, I don''t want to keep her waiting."


    Chen Lihua replied adamantly as she stood up from the bed with a hand on her visible baby bump.


    She went into the washroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. She changed into her yoga outfit, which consisted of a crop top that revealed her baby bump, and then a pant.


    When she came back into the bathroom, she saw Liu Longwei still sitting on the bed with a hand on his face.


    Something pricked her heart. She felt that she hasn''t been treating him well lately, and even now, so she walked towards him.


    She sat beside him on the bed, and he raised his head to look at her.


    He saw the way she was gazing at him, he thought something was wrong, so he asked in a soft tone, and a worried look on his face "Are you alright?."


    Chen Lihua just gazed at him silently. But when he opened his mouth to say something, she held his face with her palms as she leaned in close to capture his lips to win her mouth.


    Liu Longwei was taken aback by her sudden action, but he didn''t push her away. He hugged her waist tightly and embraced her lightly.


    He was so careful because of her baby bump. He was afraid to apply pressure on it.


    Chen Lihua shut her eyes as she kissed him softly. Next, she increased the pace as their tongues tangled together.


    Feeling out of breath, Chen Lihua released his lips as she took deep breaths while gazing into his eyes.


    "I love you." She whispered as she left a kiss on the corner of his lips.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/i-want-you_%!d(string=51363131741499341) for visiting.


    "I love you." Liu Longwei replied in a low husky voice as he closed his eyes and accepted her kisses.


    "I''m sorry for being so mean to you. I don''t know what''s wrong with me, I can''t seem to keep my temper in check." Chen Lihua complained.


    Liu Longwei caressed her face with his fingers as he replied, "It''s alright, I understand. It''s the pregnancy hormones that are working. Before you became pregnant, you''ve never been rude to me, so I understand."


    "Thank you, for understanding me even when I do not understand myself." Chen Lihua said to him as a satisfied smile appeared on her face.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he kissed her cheek, then he moved to her neck.


    The deep sensation she felt, caused her to m.o.a.n softly.


    Liu Longwei stopped his actions immediately. He kissed her cheeks once again as he reminded her in a low voice.


    "Your exercise coach is waiting for you, don''t keep her waiting for a long time."


    "She can wait. I... I want you." Chen Lihua said as she looked in another direction.


    "Now?." Liu Longwei asked as he turned her face towards him.


    Chen Lihua nodded in response without looking up. She was feeling embarrassed to request such a thing from him especially when they both had something important to do.


    She thought he might take her as someone who is not serious, but she didn''t know that her husband''s thought was far from that.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei replied as he kissed her forehead before standing up from the bed.


    He unbuttoned his pajamas too and threw the shirt to one side. Then he lifted Chen Lihua from the bed and moved her to the middle of the bed.


    Chen Lihua sat in the middle of the bed as she watched him undress her with a slow and steady movement.


    She felt like a new bride on her wedding night ????????


    Liu Longwei left her in only her sports bra and pant.


    He started to kiss her from her lips down to her neck, and her chest.


    When he got to her chest, he squeezed one of her b.o.o.b.s gently, and that caused Chen Lihua to hiss in pain.


    Liu Longwei paused in his actions and asked in a worried tone as he gazed at her, "Does it hurt?."


    "The pain is mild. But I don''t mind, I want you to love me more." Chen Lihua said as she looked back at him.


    "Okay..." Liu Longwei replied as he got back to work.


    He removed the sports bra that initially covered that beautiful ample chest, and that left her sizeable b.o.o.b.s to fall freely.


    Chen Lihua gazed at her b.r.e.a.s.ts, and then at Liu Longwei.


    "My b.o.o.b.s have fallen." She said in a dull tone.


    "They are beautiful, I love them." Liu Longwei replied as he kissed them.


    Chen Lihua felt better with his statement. Because of her pregnancy, her b.o.o.b.s added in size, and they were no longer standing as before, so she felt that Liu Longwei wouldn''t like them, so she became worried.


    But now hearing him say that he loved them that way, she felt happy and better.

 Chapter 398 - His wife has spoken

    But now hearing him say that he loved them that way, she felt happy and better.


    Liu Longwei made love to her that morning, but he wasn''t comfortable because of the baby bump.


    He was scared to hurt her and the baby.


    In the middle of their lovemaking, Chen Lihua cried out in pain. Liu Longwei was alarmed.


    He paused his movements and asked with terror ???? written on his face, "Are you okay? Did I hurt you?."


    "It''s fine, I''m fine, but don''t go deep again." Chen Lihua instructed as the color of her face returned to normal.


    "No, let''s just stop." Liu Longwei said as he tried to pull out of her, but She wrapped her hands around his waist.


    "No, don''t stop, let''s continue. I said I''m fine now. Are you planning on not satisfying me?." Chen Lihua threatened as she gave him the side-eye ????


    "No... No. We will continue, but tell me if it hurts." Liu Longwei said, and she nodded in response.


    Liu Longwei began to move slowly, and he caressed her body, trying to rekindle the lost excitement.


    After the lovemaking came to an end, Chen Lihua slept off, leaving Liu Longwei to clean her up and dress her.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he stared at his sleeping wife with a hand on her baby bump.


    He leaned in close to kiss her cheek, and her baby bump, then he left the room.


    He met with Chen Lihua''s Yoga instructor and apologized for keeping her waiting for hours. Then he asked her to go home and return for the evening section.


    The Yoga instructor didn''t take the matter to heart. She was sure that Chen Lihua was too tired or uncomfortable because of the pregnancy, and would not neglect her yoga sections.


    She already sees Chen Lihua is a serious person who doesn''t joke with her schedules.


    Since she was contracted to coach her, she has never missed any section, and this was the first occasion, so she wouldn''t take it to heart.


    And besides, she was being paid times five (*5) of her supposed pay, so she is not supposed to be bothered for being stood up.


    After the yoga instructor left, Liu Longwei went to the kitchen, to personally ask the Chefs to prepare a special breakfast for his wife.


    The servants were scared out of their wits when they saw him come into the kitchen.


    They immediately bowed their heads in fear ???? as terror filled their hearts.


    They only breathed a sigh of relief when he left after giving some instructions.


    Their Boss always has this unapproachable stance, so they were always uncomfortable with him being in their space.


    That same day after Chen Lihua left for work, Liu Longwei had her room made over. He didn''t repaint it, because the paint would be harmful to her and the baby.


    He redesigned it and made it look comfortable. He made sure the room would be comfortable for her condition.


    He also but some many things and items that would keep her comfortable.


    Anti-slip mats, air filters, and a lot of items were added to her bedroom.


    Careful consideration was put in her bathroom.


    More handles were constructed so in the case of any slip, she can always grab onto something nearby. Anti-slip mats were out there too.


    When Chen Lihua came home from work, she went into Liu Longwei''s bedroom to freshen up, but she couldn''t find her things.


    Then she remembered how she requested to move into her bedroom, so she rushed to check it out.


    She was surprised ???? to see her bedroom in a different look. She could barely recognize it. Her room had a warm interior now, and she could see the efforts her husband put into her bedroom to make it very comfortable for her.


    She toured her room like an over-excited child. She checked out her closet and bathroom, she was impressed.


    "Seems like have to serve you better." She said to herself as she smiled happily.


    She saw the remote for the curtain and lights. Every piece of equipment in her room was on another level.


    Chen Lihua was very happy, so when Liu Longwei came home from work, she ran to him like an obedient child.


    She tried taking his work briefcase and overcoats from him, but he refused.


    "You will be a mother soon, so stop running around." Liu Longwei said in an urgent tone.


    Sometimes, he wonders how she managed to walk so quickly with that bump. He already feels that the baby bump was a huge burden to her, so he wonders how she still managed to be comfortable with it.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said obediently as she tried to take his coat and briefcase from him.


    "Don''t worry, I will hold it, let''s go." Liu Longwei said to her in a soft tone. But right inside his heart, he was wondering why she was behaving like an obedient kitten.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/his-wife-has-spoken_%!d(string=51373970896771494) for visiting.


    "At least let me have one." Chen Lihua said as she closed to his arm while fluttering her eyelashes.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he passed his overcoat to her.


    "Thank you, I like the new furnishings." Chen Lihua said to him as they took the elevator up to their level.


    "I''m glad you like it." Liu Longwei replied ????.


    After refurbishing her room, Liu Longwei was now left alone in his bedroom.


    He felt lonely as he has already gotten used to having her in his room. So that night, he went into her bedroom.


    Chen Lihua was surprised to see him, but she didn''t say anything, she just gazed at him, waiting for him to explain himself.


    "I wanted to read a story to our baby." Liu Longwei said as he walked towards her bed. He sat down on the other side of the bed.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua replied as she smiled happily.


    Liu Longwei smiled as well as he took her in his arms, and opened the storybook in his arms.


    Chen Lihua leaned her head on his shoulder, placed a hand on her baby bump as she listened to him with a happy ???? look on her face.


    A few days later, Liu Longwei was in the home cinema with Chen Lihua, they were watching a cartoon, Tom, and Jerry when his phone rang.


    "Why did you pick this cartoon?." Liu Longwei asked, not happy with her pick.


    "I want to teach our baby to be smart." Chen Lihua replied as she ate an apple. Instead of popcorn and a soft drink, she was eating fruits.


    "Are you sure you''re not teaching our baby not to become cunny?." Liu Longwei asked...


    "Our baby can learn to be cunning too, it''s not bad." Chen Lihua said as she smiled while gazing at the Tv.


    "You...".


    "Shhh... Don''t distract the baby." Chen Lihua shushed him and moved her gaze back to the Tv.


    His wife has spoken, what can he do? ?????¡â?

    "Shhh... Don''t distract the baby." Chen Lihua shushed him and moved her gaze back to the Tv.


    His wife has spoken, what can he do? ?????¡â?


    Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and then at his wife.


    Chen Lihua glanced back at him. "Go ahead and answer it."


    "Alright, I will be back shortly." Liu Longwei replied calmly before stepping out to receive the call.


    Outside the home cinema, he answered the call as he placed the phone beside his ear.


    "Hello, Bro!." A vibrant male voice greeted from the other end of the phone.


    "Good, what''s up?." Liu Longwei replied quickly as he glanced at the closed doors of the room he left his wife in.


    "Where is father?." Liu Liwei asked directly.


    "It will be better if you called him and found out for yourself." Liu Longwei said, disinterested in the topic.


    "Bro, did you lock him up?." Liu Liwei asked, not giving up on the issue.


    "Come to the house." Liu Longwei said to him and walked back into the room after terminating the call without waiting for a reply.


    Liu Liwei who was sitting in his car with a disturbed mind glanced at his phone.


    He was certain that his elder brother truly locked up their father, but what was the reason?


    This is the question he would soon receive a reply to.


    Liu Liwei put down his phone. He ignited the engine of his BMW before driving off to his brother''s house.


    Meanwhile, Liu Longwei came back to the Cinema room and saw his wife with a tired look. She seemed like she wanted to sleep, so he asked as he sat beside her, "Do you want to sleep?."


    "My body wants to, but I don''t want to. These days, I''ve been dozing off at work once I''m not busy." Chen Lihua replied as she yawned again.


    "Just sleep if you are tired, don''t stress yourself." Liu Longwei said to her as he brought her closer in his arms.


    "Whose call did you go out to answer?." Chen Lihua asked with his hands wrapped around her.


    "Liwei is coming over." Liu Longwei replied as he gazed at her.


    "Is it because of father?." She asked as she returned the gaze.


    "Yeah." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Okay." She replied as she leaned half of her weight on him.


    Chen Lihua yawned again. This time around, she shut her eyes with a hand over her mouth.


    "Darling, I want to sleep." She said in a tired tone.


    "Alright, let''s go." Liu Longwei said as he turned off the Tv with the remote before helping her up.


    He held her carefully in his arms, as they walked along the hallway.


    Since she was sleepy, he thought she might stumble, and he didn''t want that, so he decided to find unto her carefully as he watched her steps.


    Finally, in her bedroom, He helped her lay on the bed before covering her body with a duvet.


    "Extend my greetings to Liwei, and get the chefs to make him a special meal." Chen Lihua said to him with closed eyes.


    "I will." Liu Longwei replied as he turned off the lights before walking out of the room.


    Ten minutes later, Liu Liwei arrived. As he came down from the car, he shut the door and glanced around his surroundings.


    He had a sunshade over his eyes and a baseball cap on his head.


    He looked so dashing in his ripped black jeans and a white polo.


    His pink lips looked disposable, but his mood was odd.


    He walked into the house and was directed to find his Brother in the study, by the butler.


    Liu Liwei arrived at the door to the study. He knocked twice and opened the door.


    "Hey Bro!" He greeted me as he walked into the study room with a smile on his face.


    "Did you fight with someone?." Liu Longwei asked sarcastically as he looked at him from head to toe.


    "Bro, do I look like I fought with someone? Can''t you tell by how dashing I look, that no one dares to get into a fight with me?." Liu Liwei retorted as he removed the sun shades from his eyes and took a seat by himself.


    "Your trouser says otherwise." Liu Longwei replied as he moved his gaze back to the doc.u.ment on his work table.


    "That''s the latest fashion trend, you should give it a try." Liu Liwei suggested as he gave his signature smile.


    Liu Longwei threw a warning glance at him before moving his focus back to his work.


    "Next time, don''t come to my house dressed like a homeless kid. You don''t even look like you''re homeless, but your dressing sense says otherwise. If you want to be n.a.k.e.d, do it outside, and don''t let me see you." Liu Longwei warned.


    "Bro why are you always serious? You don''t know how to have fun at all. Does sister-in-law like you this way?." Liu Liwei asked as he put his leg over the other.


    "Do you want me to chase you away?." Liu Longwei threatened as he stood up and walked towards him.


    "No, I''m sorry." Liu Liwei replied as he caught the glare his brother sent to him. Then, he changed the topic.


    "How come I don''t see sister-in-law around?."


    "She is having a nap." Liu Longwei replied as he opened a shelf and brought out a bottle of expensive wine.


    He picked out two wine glasses and cleaned them before keeping them beside the wine on the center table.


    "Oh!." Liu Liwei replied in a dejected tone.


    Liu Longwei glared at him when he caught that look on his face. "Did you come to see my wife or to talk about something important?."


    "To talk." Liu Liwei replied in a low chuckle as he glanced at his big brother.


    He wondered why he was so jealous.


    Liu Longwei poured a glass of wine for him and passed it to him. Then they drank as they talked.


    Liu Longwei revealed their father''s promise to him, and his sins.


    "What?! Father has been cheating on mother for such a long time?!." Liu Liwei looked quite shocked on getting the whole gist.

 Chapter 400 - Some plots to come up with

    "What?! Father has been cheating on mother for such a long time?!." Liu Liwei looked quite shocked on getting the whole gist.


    "Now you see why locked him up." Liu Longwei said as he drank from his wine glass.


    "I never knew father could be this shameless, he even tried to escape." Liu Liwei said in a shocked tone.


    There was a minute silence as Liu Liwei allowed the information he got to sink into his head.


    "What about mum, what should we say to her?." Liu Liwei asked.


    "Don''t tell her anything, she doesn''t need to know." Liu Longwei said.


    "Won''t this be us betraying her as well? She deserves to know about her husband''s unfaithfulness, it would be so unfair to leave her in the dark, and acting as if everything is fine." Liu Liwei said in an agitated tone.


    "Mother has a weak heart, she will not be able to take this news. She has trusted father for so many years, this news will wreck her." Liu Longwei reminded.


    "Then what see we going to do? What are we going to tell her if she asks about Dad?."


    "Leave her be, father will settle it because he doesn''t want mother to find out." Liu Longwei said.


    Liu Liwei sighed. "How long are you going to keep him locked up?. Mum will soon start to suspect that something is wrong if father doesn''t come home soon."


    "You do not have to worry about it, father will take care of it. He would have to make excuses for himself. I plan to keep him under watch and house arrest for as long as possible. That''s the least punishment I could give him." Liu Longwei said as he stood up from the sofa and returned to his work desk.


    "I hope he doesn''t have any child outside since he has been cheating for such a long time." Liu Liwei said as he turned to glance at Liu Longwei.


    "I have no idea about that, but I''m on the lookout in case such a thing happened." Liu Longwei said as he opened the drawer attached to the table and searched for something.


    "I''m unhappy about this news. When Dad called me, he didn''t tell me about this, he only said I should ask you to release him." Liu Liwei said in a bitter tone.


    "Do you think he would tell you his sins?." Liu Longwei commented as he brought out a pile of doc.u.ments from the drawer, and started going through them.


    "I''m sorry for mum. She will break down if she hears this news. She has loved father and cared for him since they got married, and now, father is returning her sacrifice with this nonsensical act."


    "Bro, what do you say if we tell grandma about this, she will surely get justice for mum." Liu Liwei suggested.


    He was looking for a way to punish his father because he felt that being under house arrest wasn''t enough.


    "The punishment I gave to him is enough. I don''t think you know what it means for your freedom to be taken away from you, do you want to give it a try?." Liu Longwei asked with a smug look on his face.


    "No, thank you, I''m not interested." Liu Liwei replied immediately.


    He would probably go if he were to find himself in such a situation.


    His father''s case was worst because his movements and communication were restricted, and he wasn''t given any work to do.


    So he just sat at home in one of the properties he has outside country C and watched the view.


    That is the worst punishment you could ever give to a businessman that used to be vibrant in his younger days.


    It was not a funny and easy situation at all!


    "Grandma would have punished him more though." Liu Liwei hinted.


    "When I''m satisfied with him having a troubled mind, and begging me one thousand times, I will think about his release. Then maybe you can report him to grandmother." Liu Longwei said.


    "That would be perfect. Imagine receiving one punishment after another, that would be interesting to watch." Liu Liwei said as his voice came to life.


    "Bro, I have to go now, I have got some plots to come up with."


    Liu Liwei is an actor and a producer who is aiming to be a sought-after screenwriter. So he was talking about going home to plot some scenes in other to teach his father some lessons.


    He was really bent on punishing his father.


    "Lihua had the chefs prepare something for you, don''t you want to eat them?." Liu Longwei asked, stopping him in his tracks.


    "Wow! Sister-in-law ordered food for me?." Liu Liwei asked as he became more excited.


    "Well, I will have to eat them before stepping out from your house." Liu Liwei said as he left the study room.


    He was actually interested in the goodies his sister-in-law arranged for him.


    Liu Longwei shook his head as he watched his brother leave in a hurry.


    ''He didn''t even ask me to lead the way.'' He thought.


    Liu Longwei left his study and went to check on Chen Lihua.


    As he walked into her bedroom, Chen Lihua raised her head to stare in his direction.


    "Did I wake you?." Liu Longwei asked in a gentle voice as he came to sit on the bed.


    "No, I was already conscious right before you came in." Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei turned on the lights to see her tired face.


    "Are you hungry?." He asked in concern.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/some-plots-to-come-up-with_%!d(string=51534716490279788) for visiting.


    "Yeah, I''m so hungry right now." Chen Lihua replied as she managed a smile.


    "Okay, let''s get you something to eat. Liwei is already at the dining room." Liu Longwei revealed.


    "That''s good. I would be glad to be accompanied by another family member." Chen Lihua said as she tried to up.


    Liu Longwei saw her struggling to sit up, and so helped her up.


    "Am I not enough to accompany you?." Liu Longwei asked as he held her hand and escorted her out of the room.


    "The more the merrier." Chen Lihua said as a pleasant smile appeared on her face.


    She could tell her husband was jealous.

 Chapter 401 - Looking for a way to deal with the Deputy Chief

    "The more the merrier." Chen Lihua said as a pleasant smile appeared on her face.


    She could tell her husband was jealous.


    Liu Liwei has already started eating when they arrived.


    Earlier when he left Liu Longwei''s study, he went straight to the ground floor.


    He sat at the dining area and asked a maid that greeted him to serve the food his sister-in-law ordered for him.


    The servant already knew about the food, and she knew Liu Liwei was her Master''s brother, so she hurried off to the kitchen.


    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came to the dining area, they saw Liu Liwei already eating.


    Liu Liwei didn''t want to give the food a moment off, so he continued eating without turning to look around despite knowing that someone just stepped in.


    "Brother Liu, do you like the food so much?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she came to stand before him.


    "Sister-in-law, you''re awake?." Liu Liwei asked as he noticed her presence with an excited look on his face, but that excitement was immediately wiped off his face when his eyes came in contact with his brother''s.


    "Sister-in-law, the food is delicious, thank you!." Liu Liwei said to her as he resumed eating.


    "You''re welcome! By the way, you look so dashing." Chen Lihua complimented him as she sat on the dining chair.


    Liu Liwei glanced at her, then at his brother''s black face. He didn''t dare to laugh before he would lose the food he was eating.


    So with a little excitement hidden in his heart, he accepted the compliment with gratitude.


    "Thank you, sister-in-law!."


    "Why are you complimenting him so early? Just wait till you see what he is putting on below." Liu Longwei said as he pulled out a seat beside his wife and sat down.


    "Huh! What''s wrong with his dressing?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she looked between her husband and her brother-in-law.


    "When he stands up, you will see." Liu Longwei said to her as he gave a glare at Liu Liwei who had already abandoned the conversation.


    He had to fill his stomach first, before anything, as his words might kick him out of the house before he can finish the food, and that would be a waste.


    It was better to be quiet and enjoy the meal. Then if his words offend his brother later, and he gets kicked out because of it, he wouldn''t mind.


    This strategy of his was the best!


    Three servants came out with more dishes and served them. Liu Longwei Longwei served his wife some food first, before serving himself.


    The three of them are the food in silence. When Chen Lihua tried talking to Liu Liwei while eating, Liu Longwei stooped her.


    "Don''t talk while eating, it''s a bad table manner."


    Chen Lihua and Liu Liwei could only face their food.


    After eating, Chen Lihua suggested to Liu Liwei to stay back for a while and play games with her since she was looking for excitement.


    Liu Liwei would have happily agreed without any objection, but he remembered his brother was there, so he quickly turned to glance at him.


    "I have work to do, take care of her, do not allow her to play too much." Liu Longwei said to Liu Liwei.


    Then he came to stand in front of his wife, he pats her hair and leaned in to kiss her forehead. Next, he caressed her baby bump as he said, "Don''t play for a long time, and don''t lift anything heavy."


    "Okay." Chen Lihua replied obediently with a blissful smile on her face, as she watched him caress her stomach.


    When Liu Longwei left, Liu Liwei was still staring in the direction he left as he walked closer to Chen Lihua.


    "Sister-in-law did brother let me accompany you?."


    "Let''s go." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face as she led the way.


    Liu Liwei immediately followed behind her closely.


    In the game room, Chen Lihua instructed him to turn on the music, while she glanced through the games, looking for an interesting one to play.


    That day, Chen Lihua had fun. She observed that her husband and his brother were somewhat similar in some aspects.


    Liu Liwei was a free spirit and doesn''t mind his age when playing. But her husband was different, he had much restraint, and doesn''t go overboard.


    Chen Lihua concluded that his career developed him into whatever he was today.


    As days went by, Chen Lihua''s baby bump continued growing and was becoming more visible.


    Today at the hospital, she almost clashed with the Deputy Chief of her department. The man never seems to stop tormenting her.


    "Since your stomach started to grow, you''ve stopped working hard. It''s nice to take my soot once again." The Deputy Chief taunted before walking away.


    "Where in the world does he get that energy and persistence from?." Chen Lihua asked no one in particular. She was pissed off though.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/looking-for-a-way-to-deal-with-the-deputy-chief_%!d(string=51536201726873765) for visiting.


    Seeing the Deputy Chief first in the morning, was really a bad picture to start the day with. Seeing him ruins her mood.


    Her female bodyguard QB who was shielding her from the side gestured to her with her hand.


    "This way Ma''am."


    Only then did Chen Lihua look away and continued in her steps.


    When Chen Lihua got to her office, she took the nose mask off her face as she sat down on her seat.


    She suddenly felt her feet cramping up. Her face scrunched up in discomfort and pain.


    She tried reaching her feet, but she couldn''t, because the baby bump was hindering her. So she had no other choice than to stretch her leg before bending it towards her stomach, only then did her hand reach it.


    "Ma''am do you need my help?." QB asked as she hurried to her side after hanging her (CL) coat and bag.


    "It''s fine, you can''t handle this one." Chen Lihua replied as she continued to massage her toes.


    "I can, let me give it a try." QB said as she took over from her.


    "You are good with this." Chen Lihua said in a smile as she allowed her to massage her toes.


    "Thank you, Ma''am." QB replied as she continued with her work.


    Chen Lihua suddenly felt tickled, so she took her feet back forcefully as laughter escaped from her lips.


    QB was surprised by her sudden action, but then she understood.


    "Thank you! I''m fine now." Chen Lihua said gratefully as she moved her feet.


    "I wish had another way to deal with that man. Just meeting him this morning already caused my feet to cramp up." Chen Lihua said to herself as she released a sigh.

 Chapter 402 - Crying in the middle of the night

    "I wish had another way to deal with that man. Just meeting him this morning already caused my feet to cramp up." Chen Lihua said to herself as she released a sigh.


    "Ma''am, do you want me to deal with him?." QB asked for permission.


    "No it''s fine, once I start, it will never come to an end." Chen Lihua said in reply as she got ready to see her patients.


    This new week was not an easy one for Chen Lihua, because she had a lot on her plate.


    The baby and the whole pregnancy symptoms. Right now, she was currently experiencing Nasal congestion, backache, constipation, and bleeding gum.


    The Nasal congestion was somewhat settled because she is using a humidifier. As for the backache, Liu Longwei normally massaged her back in the evenings.


    The constipation was settled after her doctor advised her to take more liquid, and that has helped her a lot.


    Later this week, something got her thinking about her friend whom she hasn''t seen in a while now, her best friend who was locked up in the mental asylum.


    She felt guilt, and the urge to go and visit her.


    This was her best friend we are talking about, when things are not going on fine, she is supposed to encourage and support her.


    Although she has been doing the latter by sending food to her every day and also employing people to take special care of her.


    ''She needed to go and see her''. Chen Lihua thought. But she was afraid that Liu Longwei would not approve of it since she was pregnant.


    He might say that the environment was unhealthy for the baby, which might be true.


    Something was urging her to make that visit, so she would try as much as possible to convince Liu Longwei to allow her to visit her friend.


    It took Chen Lihua quite some time to figure the whole thing out, before talking to Liu Longwei about it.


    As they cuddled in bed this night, Chen Lihua brought up the matter.


    "Darling, I need to go and see Chynna."


    "Chynna? Who is that?." Liu Longwei asked in confusion?


    "My best friend." Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei began to think about her friend who was named Chynna, but he couldn''t make out who the person was, he has never had her mention that name before!


    "Where do you know her from?." Liu Longwei asked with interest.


    "She was my best friend in high school." Chen Lihua replied, gazing that he didn''t know she had a best friend in high school.


    "The one who is locked up at the asylum?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua was surprised that he knew about her friend and the condition she was in, so it took moments for her to process everything.


    "Who told you about her?." Chen Lihua asked curiously, for she knew that she has never mention Chynna to him, so how did he find out about her?


    Did he do a background check on that too?


    "Your mum mentioned something about your best friend from high school being locked up in the mental asylum after she watched her parents being killed." Liu Longwei revealed.


    "When did she say that, how come I didn''t know about it?."


    "It happened a few months back, that time you were unstable after the failed assassination." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Oh! I want to visit her, it''s been long now." Chen Lihua said in a soft tone.


    "Sweetheart, you know there is no way I''m letting you go to a mental asylum right?." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.


    "Why, what''s wrong with going there? I just want to visit my friend who I neglected for a long time. She used to be my very good friend, she was always there for me. And now she needs my company most, I can''t even see to that?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at him with an unhappy facial expression.


    "I am not against you going to visit your friend. You can do that, but that will be after you give birth. That environment is not suitable for you in this condition."


    Liu Longwei sighed and continued. "I heard that she attacked you once. I don''t want that to happen again. She might be your friend, but you have to know that she is mentally unstable, so she can''t tell what she is doing."


    "Darling, she is a lot better now. This was something that happened over a decade ago, and besides, I have spoken to her attending physician, and she assured me she was a lot better now, and her mental state has improved considerably, so I can sit and talk with her." Chen Lihua revealed, trying her best to convince him.


    "I don''t even want you to step into that environment, then you are talking of going to sit and talk with your friend, those that sound okay to you?." Liu Longwei asked.


    There was a sudden silence in the room. Both of them gazed at each other in silence.


    Suddenly, Chen Lihua left his arms and turned away from him. She now had her back facing him.


    Within seconds, Liu Longwei started to hear her sniffing, so he turned her over in worry, only to her tear-stained face.


    She was seriously crying ????!


    Liu Longwei was alarmed, so he asked as he held her arms gently, "Baby, why are you crying?."


    Chen Lihua did not answer him, instead, she cried more to the extent that she was finding it difficult to breathe.


    Liu Longwei was so scared out of his wits. He immediately helped her to sit up.


    "Sweetheart, please don''t scare me. Please stop crying, I''m sorry."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/crying-in-the-middle-of-the-night_%!d(string=51548734709885624) for visiting.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t calm down, because she was so emotional ???? and heartbroken ????.


    "Was it something I said?." Liu Longwei asked as he tried his best to console his pregnant wife who was crying in the middle of the night.


    "Do...do you not like me anymore? Why...why a..are you so mean to me?." Chen Lihua managed to ask as she breathed heavily.

 Chapter 403 - On his knees

    "Do...do you not like me anymore? Why...why a..are you so mean to me?." Chen Lihua managed to ask as she breathed heavily.


    Liu Longwei was surprised by the sudden question.


    Where was that question coming from?


    "Sweetheart, what are you saying? I love you so much, and I will never stop loving you till the end of time!."


    Liu Longwei gazed at her baby bump that was heaving up and down. He was so scared that her stomach would burst open, so he tried his best to get her to stop crying.


    Chen Lihua had a hand on her baby bump, while the other hand wiped off the tears on her face. But she just wouldn''t stop crying.


    "You just spoke to me rudely... Since we got to know each other, you have never spoken to me that way! Do you hate me now that I''m pregnant, and no longer looking as beautiful as before?." Chen Lihua asked as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Liu Longwei was truly shocked.


    Where were all these coming from?.


    If possible, he wanted to take a look at her brain. Why was she being so unreasonable?


    Has the pregnancy hormone kicked off again?.


    Liu Longwei took a deep breath to calm down. "My love, I will never hate you, I will always love you. I''m sorry for being mean to you, okay?."


    Chen Lihua sniffed as she wiped her tears. She didn''t reply to him and instead laid down on the bed with her back towards him.


    "Sweetheart, I''m very sorry. I promise to never talk to you that way again. I''m sorry for making you cry." Liu Longwei apologized as he shook her body gently.


    Chen Lihua refused to say anything to him. From sniffing, she started to cry again.


    Liu Longwei was surprised by her sudden action. He thought that he was finally close to placating her, but who knew that she would start to cry all over again?


    He hurriedly brought her up and helped her into a sitting post. He tried wiping her tears as he apologized again.


    "My Love, I''m so sorry. Please look at me. I promise not to be rude or mean to you. If I go against my word, then you can punish me however you want, but please, stop crying. I hate to see tears on your face." Liu Longwei said with pain in his heart.


    He couldn''t bear to see the woman he loved so much cry or be in discomfort. He would kill anyone that would try to hurt her, and for that reason, he would never hurt her.


    Chen Lihua shrugged his hands away as she stood up from the bed.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t hold her forcefully for he was scared of hurting her. But he chased after her and stood at a close distance from her.


    Chen Lihua entered the bathroom, but when she tried closing the door behind her, Liu Longwei pushed it open and came inside.


    She ignored him and went ahead to use the water system toilet????.


    Liu Longwei stood close to her and he watched her do her business.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._%!d(string=14368021206200105)/on-his-knees_%!d(string=51559677212809463) for visiting.


    When she raised the nightdress she was putting on to sit on the toilet seat ????, Liu Longwei saw the baby bump, and his heart was filled with guilt.


    ''Was he not worse than an animal for making his pregnant wife cry?.'' He thought with pain in his heart.????


    Chen Lihua flushed the toilet after peeing, before going to wash her hands at the sink with tears rolling down her cheeks ????.


    She Dried her hands with a hand towel before going back to the room to sit on the bed.


    Liu Longwei came to stand in front of her, before suddenly going on his knees.


    Chen Lihua was shocked by his actions. So she tried standing up from the bed to move away, but Liu Longwei pinned her down firmly.


    "You...you. What are you doing?." Chen Lihua asked in a hoarse voice. She was scared out of her wits.


    Liu Longwei remained on his knees as he took her hands in his. "Sweetheart, I''m sorry. Please don''t cry anymore. You can hit me if you want to if that will make you stop crying."


    "What... What are you saying? I will not hit you, please stand up." Chen Lihua said with much urgency in her voice as she wiped her tear-stained face.


    "I will not get up, till you forgive me." Liu Longwei insisted to remain to kneel.


    Since Chen Lihua couldn''t bear to watch her beloved husband kneel before her, she urged him to stand up after assuring him that she had already forgiven him.


    Getting her assurance, Liu Longwei stood to his feet and sat beside her on the bed.


    Next, he hugged her as he sniffed her body scent. "I love you, and I''m sorry for bringing tears to your eyes."


    "I love you too." Chen Lihua said softly as she sniffed again.


    Liu Longwei kissed her cheeks and then placed a hand on her protruded stomach. He caressed it with love in his heart.


    "Baby, Dad is sorry for making you and Mum cry. I''m sorry, please forgive me."


    "How did you make the baby cry?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at him in confusion ????.


    "The Doctor said that our baby is now sensitive to sound, and I''m sure it can sense your emotions too. So by sensing your emotions, it will not be happy." Liu Longwei said with much wisdom.


    "Yeah, it''s true." Chen Lihua agreed with him.


    Liu Longwei kissed her cheek before helping her to lie properly on the bed.


    As he laid on the bed, he hugged her from behind and used the other can''t caress her baby bump.


    "Sweetheart?." Liu Longwei called in a gentle tone.


    "Mmm..."


    "Tell me when you want to visit your friend, so I can go with you."


    "What? I''m allowed to go see my friend?." Chen Lihua asked in shock ???? as she turned her body towards him.


    "Why not?." Liu Longwei asked as he leaned in to kiss her lips.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said happily as she stretched her hands to hug him, forgetting the baby bump in between.

 Chapter 404 - Madam Liu bearates him

    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said happily as she stretched her hands to hug him, forgetting the baby bump in between.


    "Oh Oh! I guess our baby doesn''t want to be left out." Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly.


    Liu Longwei gave a low laugh as he kissed her forehead. "Sleep, it''s late already."


    The next morning, Chen Lihua woke up with puffy eyes. Her eyes looked like panda ???? eyes.


    Liu Longwei saw how swollen they were, and his heart was filled with guilt. He kissed her eyes as rubbed her cheeks slowly as he said while staring into her eyes.


    "Sweetheart, promise me that you will not cry anymore. See how swollen your eyes are."


    Chen Lihua was silent as she gazed at him.


    "Come on, let me help you wash up." Liu Longwei said as he helped her out from the bed.


    "I can still wash my body myself." Chen Lihua said as she went into her washroom.


    "Careful of your steps." Liu Longwei reminded with unease in his tone.


    "I know, thank you!." Chen Lihua said from the bathroom.


    Liu Longwei finally left for his bedroom after standing guard for some minutes. He freshened up and came back to his wife''s bedroom to look for her.


    "Are you ready?." He asked as he watched her move from one corner of the room to the other.


    "Yeah." Chen Lihua replied as she glanced at him with her bag in hand.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/madam-liu-bearates-him_51572612865771007 for visiting.


    "How is my face, how do I look now?." Chen Lihua asked as she walked closer to him, so he could have a good look at her face.


    "Your eyes look terrible. Why don''t you stay at home today?." Liu Longwei suggested?


    Her eyes still looked puffy.


    "No, I have to go to work, I have many appointments with my patients today, and I don''t want to disappoint them.


    "You are thinking of seeing patients today with your panda eyes?." Liu Longwei asked with an unbelievable expression on his face.


    "Whose fault is it?." Chen Lihua asked as she walked back into her walk-in closet. Within the next minute, she was out with a pair of flat white sandals in her hand.


    She sat on the made and stretched one of her legs, next, she bent it towards her other leg ???? (she kept one leg on top of the other).


    Liu Longwei watched her from the side in amazement. She could wear her sandals herself, without needing anyone to help her even in that condition.


    "Sweetheart, please stay back. When someone sees your face, they would think you were probably beaten up by me." Liu Longwei tried to persuade her again.


    "Are you ashamed? Don''t worry about it, I will take care of it. I will apply more concealer to it after breakfast. Right now, the baby and I are very hungry." Chen Lihua said as she made her way out of the room.


    Liu Longwei quickly followed her out. He was scared that she might slip and fall.


    She even left her back and coat in the room... ?????¡â?


    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei stepped into the dining area, they saw an unexpected visitor.


    "Mum?." Chen Lihua called out in surprise.


    "Mum, what are you doing here?." Liu Longwei asked with his hands in his pockets.


    "I''m here to bring breakfast for Lihua." Madam Liu replied before gazing at her daughter-in-law with a kind smile on her face. But suddenly, her facial expression changed.


    She hurried towards Chen Lihua, as she placed a hand on her jaw and peered at her face in curiosity.


    Seeing her panda eyes, Madam Liu raised an alarm.


    "Lihua dear, what happened to you?!."


    Chen Lihua touched her cheeks awkwardly, then she unconsciously glanced at Liu Longwei.


    Madam Liu caught them exchanging glances, so she was shocked as she had a premonition.


    She turned to Liu Longwei to ask as she pointed a finger at him with a shock-filled face.


    "Did you hit her?!."


    "No, mum, I didn''t hit her!." Liu Longwei replied in surprise.


    How did his mother think he would ever lay a finger on his wife?


    "Mum, he didn''t touch me. You can rest assured that he has never laid a hand on me before." Chen Lihua said as she held onto her mother-in-law''s hands.


    Madam Liu looked between the two of them, to see if they were lying.


    "Mum, you know me very well. I will never hit my wife." Liu Longwei said in all sincerity.


    Madam Liu calmed down as she took Chen Lihua''s hand and led her to a seat.


    "Lihua dear, tell me the truth, what happened to your eyes?." Madam Liu asked as she gazed into her eyes.


    Chen Lihua lowered her head as she fiddled with her fingers. Then she said in an inaudible voice, "I cried."


    "You cried? Who made you cry?." Madam Liu asked in surprise.


    ''Who would make her cry and cause her eyes to turn out this way?.'' She thought to herself.


    Chen raised her head and glanced at Liu Longwei.


    "He made you cry?." Madam Liu asked as she pointed at her son.


    Chen Lihua nodded in response.


    Madam Liu turned to her son to say with a disappointed look on her face. "I thought you were different. How could you make your pregnant wife cry? What difference does it make if you didn''t hit her?. You made her cry, so it is equivalent to hitting her."


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh. Honestly, he was guilty. He made his wife cry even though he didn''t lay his hands on her, but what difference does it make if he didn''t hit her? The outcome is still the same!.


    "Sweetheart I''m sorry."


    "Mum, I''m very sorry, it will not happen again."


    Liu Longwei apologized to both women.


    Madam Liu glanced at him without saying anything. She sat down and dished some food for her daughter-in-law.


    Liu Longwei glanced at the two women, none of them paid any attention to him. He felt bad. But because he was strong at heart, he controlled himself.


    He walked towards his wife, leaned in, and kissed her cheeks.


    "I''m off to work." He announced to both women.


    "What about your breakfast?." Chen Lihua asked worriedly.


    "I am ten minutes late for my meeting, I will have breakfast later, goodbye."


    "Mum, see you later." Liu Longwei said as he walked away.

    "Mum, see you later." Liu Longwei said as he walked away.


    "Mum, I think he is not happy." Chen Lihua said in a soft tone.


    "He shouldn''t be happy. Just look at what he has caused your face to turn out to." Madam Liu said with a pained expression on her face.


    "How will you go to the hospital looking like this?." Madam Liu continued.


    "Mum, I will cover it up with the concealer."


    "Longwei has let me down. If it was Liwei would have beaten him to a pulp. I don''t know what is wrong with my sons. Libya dear, forgive him okay? I will trash him if he tries it next time." Madam Liu pleaded on her sons'' behalf.


    "Mum, you don''t need to apologize, and besides, Longwei has already apologized to me at night. He went on his knees as well." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "He knelt? Tell me about it." Madam Liu asked with much interest.


    "He went on his knees to apologize to me, and when I asked him to stand, he refused, saying he wouldn''t get up till I forgave him." Chen Lihua giggled.


    She seemed pleased with herself!


    "At least he knows what to do when he offends you." Madam Liu said as a sincere smile appeared on her face.


    Chen Lihua checked the time on her wristwatch before saying as she stood from her seat.


    "Mum, I have to go now."


    "But you haven''t touched your food." Madam Liu said while staring at her.


    "I will eat when I get to work." Chen Lihua said.


    "Mum, please get the servants to pack the food, I will eat them when I get to the hospital." Chen Lihua added before rushing off.


    On her way to the visitor''s washroom, she instructed a maid to get her bag and coat from her bedroom.


    Before leaving the house, Chen Lihua applied the concealer to her eyes. Her mother-in-law helped her and made sure it was okay before she left for work.


    In the car, Chen Lihua made a call.


    "Come to the underground car park to pick me in five minutes, and don''t tell him I''m coming." Chen Lihua instructed before terminating the call.


    "Who is that?." Liu Longwei asked without looking up.


    He overheard Asst Duyi replying ''Yes Ma''am'' over the phone, so he was curious as to who the caller was.


    "It''s madam." Asst Duyi replied.


    "My wife?." Liu Longwei asked, seeking more details.


    "Yes, she asked me to come down in five minutes to pick a package for you." Asst. Duyi lied smoothly.


    Liu Longwei looked surprised. ''Did his wife want to gift him something?''


    After speaking with his boss, Asst Duyi left his office and went to the underground parking lot directly.


    Just as he arrived, Chen Lihua''s car arrived.


    Asst Duyi thanked his stars that he wasn''t late even for a bit.


    K2 opened the car door for Chen Lihua, and she came down from the car with the assistance of her female bodyguard, QB.


    Chen Lihua had pair of sunglasses over her eyes, a nose mask on her face, and a big overcoat ???? covering her body.


    Asst Duyi couldn''t tell who the person was, but since he recognized one of his Boss''s former bodyguards, he guessed that the woman who was covered up from head to toe, was his Boss''s wife, so he hurried towards her.


    He bowed in greeting as he stood before her.


    "Does he know I''m here?." Chen Lihua asked in a muffled voice.


    "No Ma''am." Asst Duyi replied.


    "That''s good. Pick one of the boxes and lead the way." Chen Lihua instructed.


    QB passed a box to him, and he took it, and lead the way for them.


    Chen Lihua followed behind him with her bodyguards, K2 and QB, included.


    They arrived at the too floor after taking the elevator.


    All eyes were on Chen Lihua since she was the centre of attraction.


    She was the only one dressed on a royal blue overcoat, and surrounded by people on black.


    Their were headturns and whispers as Chen Lihua passed by. They workers wondered who she was, and for her to be personally escorted by their President''s personal assistant.


    It was Chen Lihua''s first time here, so she looked around as well, and met some curious gazes in the process.


    Thanks to her shades and nose mask, nobody can recognize.


    And because of the oversized coat, her baby bump was hidden, and coupled with the protection from her bodyguards.


    No one could tell who she was, what she looked like, and her figure.


    Chen Lihua really came prepared.


    Asst Duyi led them, and they took two turns, before approaching a door ???? that looked like it was full of mystery.


    Asst Duyi knocked once, and his eyeballs were scanned, before the door opened.


    Chen Lihua was truly amazed.


    Hearing the door open, Liu Longwei knew it was his personal assistant, so he didn''t bother to look up as he asked, "Did you get the package?."


    "Yes Sir." Asst Duyi replied with a hidden smile on his face, as he walked towards another table to out the box in his hands, down.


    Just when the door was about to close, K2 stretched out his hand, and held it open for Chen Lihua to walk in.


    Instead of hearing the door close, Liu Longwei heard a series of footsteps. He was somewhat pissed off, and wondered who dared to work into his office without the basic ethics of knocking.


    So he raised his head to glance towards the direction of the footsteps. He saw his bodyguards, actually his wife''s bodyguards.


    And before he could question them, they two bodyguards in front, parted, and Chen Lihua walked out from behind them, with her gaze at the surprised Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei had a look of astonishment as he gazed at his wife. He was indeed surprised to see her in the company. So he stood abandoned the contract he was going through, and walked towards her with a big smile on his face.


    "You came?." He asked as he hugged her from the side.

 Chapter 406 - You smell so nice, I want to eat you up

    "You came?." He asked as he hugged her from the side.


    Chen Lihua hugged him back as she replied. "Yes, I brought you breakfast."


    Liu Longwei glanced at the table, Asst Duyi dropped the food box and smiled.


    "You didn''t need to trouble yourself." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her cheeks.


    "I''m fine. Let''s hurry and eat, the baby is hungry." Chen Lihua said as she smiles like a little child, with a hand on her baby bump.


    Asst Duyi was shocked to learn of this shocking news. He never knew that his boss was expecting a child.


    ''No wonder he felt that his Boss''s wife seemed to have changed, even though he couldn''t pinpoint what changed.


    Liu Longwei suddenly threw a glance at him, and he immediately lowered his head and excused himself.


    He left the office space for the husband and wife.


    After One of the bodyguards put down the item in his hands down, he left with the other bodyguards.


    So, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were left alone now.


    Liu Longwei led Chen Lihua to sit, before starting to dish the food out.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei spent twenty minutes eating and chatting.


    After concluding their breakfast, they packaged the plates and food containers together.


    "Is the baby satisfied now?." Liu Longwei asked with a smile on his face.


    During breakfast, his wife was eating at lightning speed, she must have been so hungry.


    He also noticed that her appetite had increased to a considerable level since became pregnant, He kind of liked it.


    "The Baby is satisfied now." Chen Lihua responded happily.


    At this point, it would be right if you said she was satisfied, rather than the fetus.


    "I''m glad." Liu Longwei said as he moved to sit on the sofa while beckoning on her to come over and sit beside him.


    "Darling, I have to leave for work." Chen Lihua announced as she came to sit beside him.


    "Rest for a little while, you just finished eating." Liu Longwei said as he hugged her shoulder.


    "I can rest in the car." Chen Lihua optioned to him.


    "I want to spend some time with you, is that enough reason?." Liu Longwei asked as he stared into her eyes.


    Chen Lihua stared right into his eyes as well. "Okay." Chen Lihua readily agrees.


    "That''s my woman." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears.


    Chen Lihua felt ticklish, so she pushed him away. "Don''t do that, it tickles."


    "You smell so nice, I want to eat you up." Liu Longwei said as he sniffed her neck area.


    "Darling what are you doing?." Chen Lihua asked as she chuckled softly.


    "Sniffing your scent." Liu Longwei replied, before moving his face to her chest area.


    "Longwei!." Chen Lihua called out nervously, but that did not stop Liu Longwei from stopping in the middle of his work.


    "Hold on!." Liu Longwei said in a muffled voice with his face buried in between her best area.


    Chen Lihua finally decided to leave him be. She didn''t want to exhaust her strength.


    When Liu Longwei felt that he had teased her enough, he raised his head to kiss her lips.


    "Have you thought of finding out our baby''s s.e.x?." Liu Longwei asked as he gazed at her.


    Chen Lihua thought for a while before replying, "Yeah, so many times."


    "Then what''s the delay. Since you want to know our baby''s gender, what''s stopping you from finding out?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "I''m not prepared yet. I''m kind of not ready to find out although I am very curious about it." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.


    "We have to find out before you give birth, so we can find a name, for the baby, and get some things ready for the birth." Liu Longwei said.


    "Okay. Maybe in some week''s time. I want to host a small baby shower for our child." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "Anything you want to do is fine by me." Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua didn''t spend much time in his office. They talked about their baby and shared some ideas before she left.


    But before then, something went on, in the office.


    After Asst Duyi came out from the office, Chen Lihua''s bodyguards came out as well and stood guard outside.


    When Asst Duyi returned to his post, workers from the company, began dropping into his space.


    They came to inquire about the young woman they saw earlier.


    Chen Lihua''s dressing always revealed elegance and class. Coupled with the bodyguards that surrounded her, as she was personally escorted into their Boss''s office by the person with the highest authority based on the employee.


    Asst Duyi knew that he couldn''t drive them away so easily, so he decided to divulge Chen Lihua''s identity.


    "The woman you saw earlier, is the Mistress of the Liu family Mrs. Liu, our Boss Liu''s wife."


    "Our Boss''s wife?." They chorused with shocked facial expressions.


    "Wow! This is big news!." One of them said.


    "We have never seen Boss Liu''s wife live, except on Tv and magazines." Employee A said.


    "What made the Queen grace us with her presence today?." Employee B asked as she looked at the colleague beside her.


    "I heard the Boss loves her so much and would do anything for her, so I''m sure he was very happy to see her today." Employee C said with a jealous look on her face.


    "How sure are you that Boss wasn''t the person that asked her to come?." Employee D asked as she rolled her eyes.


    "Whatever the case might be, one thing that wouldn''t be argued is that Boss is happy to have his wife here in the office, considering the love he has for her." Employee C said.


    "Do you all want to lose your jobs?." Asst Duyi asked from the side and all of the scramble out of his office.


    He was losing it. He never knew that the workers could gossip like this even when he was before them, and they had the guts to do it in his office.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/you-smell-so-nice-i-want-to-eat-you-up_51584628288440893 for visiting.


    It seems like he needed to ask his Boss to add extra rules and regulations.


    After chasing them out, he began to dwell on what transpired in the office.


    He remembered his Boss''s wife saying that the baby wanted to eat as she held her protruded abdomen then the look his Boss gave to him as if asking him to mind his tongue.

 Chapter 407 - Going to the mental asylum

    He remembered his Boss''s wife saying that the bay wanted to eat as she held her portrayed abdomen then the look his Boss gave to him as if asking him to mind his tongue.


    She was pregnant! He has gotten the gist now.


    But he is still finding it difficult to believe the news and is curious to know why such exclusive news was hidden.


    Chen Lihua left Liu Longwei''s office, and this time around, Liu Longwei was with her.


    This caused Chen Lihua to garner more attention from the Employees.


    Since they had discovered her identity, as the wife of their Boss, they gazed at her with curiosity as they whispered to one another.


    Those that found out about her identity from Asst Duyi circulated the news around, and that brought their colleagues to the top floor, with the excuse they had a file to submit.


    They gave these excuses just to get a sneak peek at Chen Lihua. But too bad for them, because they were a little disappointed.


    They couldn''t see Chen Lihua''s face entirely because she had a nose mask on her face. But the first set that saw her coming, was happy to be able to see her eyes.


    They could see her beautiful smile from her eyes, as she chatted with their boss.


    Liu Longwei was happily chatting with Chen Lihua, but he could still see his curious employees, gazing at them, and talking in hushed tones.


    Suddenly, he glared at them without stopping in his steps.


    That hard stare got them frightened, so they shut up at once.


    Chen Lihua asked, "What''s wrong?" as she followed his gaze in interest, but Liu Longwei diverted her attention back to him.


    "Nothing is wrong, let''s go on." He said with a smile on her face, as he escorted her to the elevator with the bodyguards following closely behind them.


    "That stare scared the shit out of me?." A young female employee said as she patted her chest.


    "I didn''t know Boss could smile like that. Did you see the hard stare he gave us?." Another female employee asked with a frightened facial expression.


    "We all saw it, who didn''t see it? Those that weren''t in time to see it, felt the chilling gaze. I''m sure of that." A male employee retorted.


    "But Boss is kind of weird. Did you see the speed he that with? One moment, he was smiling at his wife, but all of a sudden, he sent a death glare our way, before smiling back at his wife as if nothing was wrong." Another female employee said.


    "That tells you that you have to try your best not to cross Boss''s path." Asst Duyi said, as he suddenly came to stand behind them, with a smile that didn''t look sincere.


    The employees got another fright yet again, but what could they do? They didn''t dare to scold him, so they just stood there with unhappy facial expressions.


    "I think you all need to hurry back to your departments and continue with the work you are being paid to do. Don''t you think it''s fair enough?." Asst Duyi asked as he gave each of them a glance.


    When he saw they weren''t even trying to a step back, he suddenly smiles and bows respectfully.


    "Boss."


    That word, was the only thing that was needed to be heard, to send everybody flying back to their duty post.


    Asst Duyi smiled to himself as he watched them run for their lives.


    "Boss, your name always seems to work wonders." He murmured to himself with a smile on his face, before going back to his office.


    At weekend, Chen Lihua was in a happy state of mind, and that''s because she was going to visit her friend at the mental asylum.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/going-to-the-mental-asylum_51624149788979755 for visiting.


    At first, she and Liu Longwei agreed to go together, but an urgent matter came up at the company, so she had to go alone.


    Before he left for work, Liu Longwei gave her bodyguards a strict warning.


    If his wife comes back with as little as a mosquito bite on her body, he would skin them alive.


    That was how serious he was.


    That morning, Chen Lihua ordered the chefs to make different varieties of delicious dishes.


    Even though she was happy, she was tensed as well. She hadn''t seen her friend for a long while now.


    The last time she saw her, was from afar, and she was sitting on the bench alone. Her side view only revealed loneliness.


    Chen Lihua had been guilty all these years for her friend''s condition. She felt more guilty for abandoning her when she needed her most.


    She indeed studied outside the country for years, but there was no excuse for not going to visit her often after she came back to the country.


    Chen Lihua was kind of worried that her friend may not recognize her, and even if she did recognize her, she might not be willing to accept her.


    But there was no harm in trying. So Chen Lihua gathered the courage to go to the asylum to see her friend today.


    Seeing her friend would bring back painful memories, but also, the happy ones.


    She was after the happy memories. She wouldn''t let what transpired years ago, pull them apart.


    She was going to make things right this time around, only if she receives the tiniest glimmer of hope.


    Chen Lihua came to the mental asylum with four bodyguards, plus QB, making them five. They came in two cars.


    When Chen Lihua arrived at the asylum, she was personally escorted to the office of the management (Doctors) by one of the staff, as Liu Longwei had arranged everything already.


    Chen Lihua met with the doctors and nurses who were in charge of looking after her friend. They discussed her past and current mental state.


    "She''s a lot better now, and will soon be free to leave this place if there is someone, a family that will come for her." The doctor in charge said.


    ''She is a lot better'', was the sentence that made Chen Lihua''s day. That was what she was most interested in, and now she has finally confirmed it. Her mood was lifted.

 Chapter 408 - Meeting Chynna

    ''She is a lot better'', was the sentence that made Chen Lihua''s day. That was what she was most interested in, and now she has finally confirmed it. Her mood was lifted.


    After speaking with the doctor, Chen Lihua gave money to take care of her friend and see that she doesn''t lack anything.


    She also donated a huge amount of money for the ill patients to pay for treatment that would last a while.


    Chen Lihua was taken to a calm serene to wait, while a nurse went to bring her friend over.


    Chynna was sitting on the bed with her head down when a nurse came to call her.


    "Miss Chynna, you have a visitor, come with me."


    Chynna raised her head and glanced at the nurse, before standing up and walking over.


    "Miss Chyna, are you feeling depressed again?." The nurse asked in concern.


    "No, I was bored with nothing to do," Chynna replied.


    "Your mental health has shown a lot of improvement, so please don''t go back to staying in the room all by yourself. You can take a walk in the garden and join others in the activities". The nurse instructed.


    "Thank you," Chennai replied as they left the room together.


    "Who came to see me?." Chennai asked. She was pretty surprised that somebody came to her.


    After so many years, someone finally came to see her, but who could it be?


    "A friend." The nurse gave a simple reply as she walked ahead.


    Chynna could tell the nurse didn''t want to reveal any more details, so she kept quiet and followed after her.


    The nurse took her to another part of the garden, you could call it a Love Garden. because it looks like one. The serene over there was calm.


    Chynna could a woman with her back tired towards them. The woman was surrounded by people dressed in black.


    Immediately, Chynna knew the person who came to visit her was not an ordinary person, but she hadn''t any idea of the identity of the person.


    "Mrs. Liu, Miss Chynna is here." The nurse called out to Chen Lihua gently.


    Chen Lihua who has been taken deep breaths because she was nervous about meeting her friend, immediately turned to look over as she stood to her feet.


    Chen Lihua and Chynna exchanged glances, each lost in their world.


    The nurse left immediately she brought Chynna over.


    As for the bodyguards, they stood a few meters away from them, at a high alert.


    Chynna gazed at Chen Lihua with so many emotions in her heart. Although she couldn''t recognize her face, she was still able to tell the similarities between the young woman she was looking at from the young girl in her memories.


    Chen Lihua gave a bitter smile, as she slowly made her way over in quiet steps.


    "Chynna, it''s me, Lihua." She spoke in a soft voice.


    "Lihua?." Chynna asked as she became lost in thought.


    "Yes, it''s Lihua, your best friend from high school." Chen Lihua reminded as she came to stand before her with a pained smile on her face.


    "I remember Lihua, my best friend. It''s just that you look a bit different." Chynna replied.


    Tears started brimming in Chen Lihua''s eyes as she stretched forth her hand to hold her friend, but she suddenly felt dizzy, and so staggered.


    Chynna immediately caught hold of her before her body could land on the ground.


    QB and the other bodyguards directly rushed over at this time.


    QB and K2 quickly held onto Chen Lihua''s hands as they assisted her up.


    Chen Lihua had a hand on her temple with her eyes closed.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/meeting-chynna_51626673887575579 for visiting.


    Chynna watched on as the bodyguards sent Chen Lihua back to her seat.


    K2 left Chen Lihua in the care of others, as he rushed to the car to get two bottles of water.


    He came back within two minutes with the bottles of water.


    He uncapped one bottle and passed it to QB, who in turn, gave it to Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua drank more than half of the bottle content, before returning the bottle to QB.


    "Ma''am, should we take you to the hospital?." QB asked worriedly.


    "No, I''m fine. I just need a moment of rest." Chen Lihua said in reply, as she slowly recovered from the dizziness.


    "Miss, please come with me," K2 said to Chynna, who was standing in place and staring at the whole busy scene.


    She looked lost.


    Chynna followed him to take a seat at the area Chen Lihua was sitting.


    "Are you okay?." She asked worriedly, with a little emotion on her face.


    "I''m sorry about the whole fussing, but I am fine now." Chen Lihua replied as she managed a smile, with a hand on her abdomen.


    Chynna followed her hand movements and discovered something, so she asked in surprise, "You are pregnant?."


    "Yes." Chen Lihua replied with a healthy smile on her face as she glanced at her baby bump before looking back at her surprised friend.


    "Please come and sit beside me." Chen Lihua requested with a kind smile on her face while patting the space beside her.


    Chynna stood up and to sit beside her in a bid to honor her.


    "Please give us some space." Chen Lihua said to her bodyguards.


    They glanced at each other, before listening to her by moving a few meters away from them.


    There was a sudden silence between Chen Lihua and Chynna.


    They both had their mouth shut with a lot of things, going through their mind.


    "How have you been?." Chen Lihua finally spoke up as she gazed at her friend.


    "Fine," Chynna replied, before dipping her hand inside the pockets of her jacket.


    She brought out an item that looked like a photograph. She glanced at it, before looking at Chen Lihua, then she glanced at the picture in deep thought.


    "What are you holding?." Chen Lihua asked curiously, as she tried to peep at the photograph.


    A slight smile appeared on Chynna''s face, that was the first smile in years.


    She found Chen Lihua''s act to be cute, so she passed the photograph to her.


    "Did you just smile?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she took the photograph from her.


    Within seconds, Chynna''s facial expression returned to normal.

 Chapter 409 - Situations Change People

    "Did you just smile?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she took the photograph from her.


    Within seconds, Chynna''s facial expression returned to normal.


    "Are you the one there, because she looks just like you?." Chynna asked as she gazed at her.


    Chen Lihua took a look at the photograph, and an emotional smile appeared on her face.


    She was currently staring at their picture of more than ten years ago.


    "Of course I''m the one. I can''t believe you still have this picture." Chen Lihua replied with her eyes glued to the photograph in her hands.


    Chynna remained quiet as she moved her gaze to the surroundings. It was so peaceful, as she liked it that way.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/situations-change-people_51647491057177813 for visiting.


    "Did I change so much?." Chen Lihua asked as she returned the picture to her.


    Chynna took the photograph and returned it to her pocket. "You look quite different. Maybe it''s because you are pregnant."


    "Yeah, you are right. I can''t see my youthful look anymore." Chen Lihua replied.


    "No matter the years that have gone by, you still look as beautiful as before," Chynna commented as she stared into the distance.


    Chen Lihua wanted to say that she was beautiful just like before, but that word seems to fit her look.


    Someone that jas been mentally deranged for years, will not be as beautiful as she was when she was normal.


    "You didn''t change a lot as well." Chen Lihua replied.


    There was a sudden silence again. They conversed as if they were strangers who didn''t have anything in common to talk about.


    But Chen Lihua tried to mar small talks.


    "You have changed a lot, this is the first time I''m seeing this version of you." Chen Lihua said as she gazed at her.


    Chynna returned the gaze without saying anything. Her gaze was already asking a question, ''How did I change?.''


    "You''ve become quieter, you used to be a vibrant and cheerful young teenager." Chen Lihua continued.


    "You don''t expect me to be the same as my old self after being crazy and locked up for years," Chennai said as she stole a glance at her.


    "I''m sorry." Chen Lihua replied in guilt. For a moment, she forgot that situations change people.


    "Don''t be sorry," Chynna replied with a smile on her face.


    "You know, I missed our times in high school." Chynna continued as she was lost in thought.


    "I missed those times as well. Do you remember that time in class you sent a book flying and it hit Suzy? The book was aimed for my face, but you kicked it away on time. Can you remember how the class reacted when the book hit the sassy Suzy?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile on her face.


    "Yes, I remember. That day turned Suzy into our enemy. Surprisingly, I can not remember the faces of our classmates anymore. You are the only exception." Chynna revealed as she gazed at Chen Lihua with a smile on her face.


    "I think it''s because I already earned a place in your heart." Chen Lihua replied as they gazed at each other.


    "Thinking about it, you did earn a place in my heart. You are the only person that earned a place in my heart that is still alive. The rest, are all gone." Chynna said with a smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua suddenly felt guilty as she stared at her friend. Chynna noticed her change in mood, so she said to her.


    "Don''t feel bad, it''s not your fault. What had happened has happened? It''s just that I don''t have joy in my heart anymore, I can not remember what it feels like to be happy. I don''t feel any reason to live because my life is worthless. No family."


    "Chynna please don''t talk that way. Your life is not worthless. You have a purpose in life. I will give you a reason to smile again. And please don''t say you don''t have any family when you still have me." Chen Lihua from the depths of her heart.


    Chynna sighed without saying anything. She had lost all hope. It would not be easy for her to have hope once again.


    Chen Lihua suddenly held her hands. "Chynna, look I''m sorry. I am so sorry for abandoning you for so many years."


    Chynna glanced at their hands, before moving her gaze to her face.


    "You are here now, and that is what matters."


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said as she smiled with gladness in her heart.


    They had small talks, before Chen Lihua on to say as she handed the second bottle of water to her.


    "Let us go for a little shopping. You haven''t seen the world in years, let me take show you around." Chen Lihua said to her with a smile.


    "There is no need to trouble you. I live in a little prison, so your gifts will not fit in there." Chynna replied.


    She appreciated her effort, but she couldn''t accept it.


    "You are not troubling me, this is what is believed to be done, so please allow me to do it. Some gifts can, especially the edibles, while I keep the rest for you. Your doctor said you are recovering and showing fast improvement in your health, and will soon be free to leave. When you leave this place, I will help you start a new life, at least I owe you that."


    Chen Lihua said, not ready to no for an answer.


    Chynna exchanged glances with her. Seeing that stubborn look on her face, She finally nodded in agreement.


    "Good! That''s more like it! Before we leave, you need to eat first." Chen Lihua said to her before turning to look at her bodyguards she abandoned for the past one hour.


    She gestured to them to bring the food from the car.


    Within minutes, the food was served, and the delicious aroma of the food filled the place.


    Chynna stared at the food in surprise.


    Chen Lihua handed a pair of chopsticks to her as she asked, "Why are you staring at the food instead of eating it?."


    Chynna took the chopsticks ???? from her before picking some vegetables and sending them to her mouth.


    Recognizing the taste of the food, Chynna glanced at her in surprise. "You''ve been the one sending me food for the past year?."


    "Yes." Chen Lihua confirmed without denying it.


    "Hurry up and eat while the food is still warm." Chen Lihua ushered her.

 Chapter 410 - What am I here for?

    After the meal, Chen Lihua took her to a hotel and booked a room.


    She went into the room with her and QB, some of the bodyguards waited right outside the door, and some scouted the surroundings.


    "Chynna, you can freshen up while she gets you something nice to pit on." Chen Lihua said to her friend after she passed her card to QB.


    "But Ma''am, Boss said we shouldn''t leave you by yourself." QB said with a worried look on her face as she took the card.


    "Don''t worry, I will be fine. I can''t send the guys to buy some female clothes for me, that will be inappropriate. And besides, the hotel has a little clothing store, so you won''t be gone for a long while." Chen Lihua said as she sat on the couch.


    QB bowed before leaving the room reluctantly.


    Outside the door, she motioned for K2 who was standing outside the door to watch out their Mistress.


    "Are they scared that I would hurt you?. Chynna asked.


    "It''s not that. Their Boss wants them to keep their eyes on me." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Their Boss? Are you being monitored?." Chynna asked with a confused expression on her face.


    "Nooo. I''m talking about my husband. He doesn''t want any harm to come near me." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Oh! I see." Chynna replied as she finally got the gist.


    "Lihua...." She called out suddenly.


    "Mmm." Chen Lihua said, turning to glance at her.


    "I''m truly sorry for attacking you years back. I thought you were scared of me and that''s why you didn''t come to see me for so many years." Chynna apologized as she revealed her deepest thought.


    "How could you think like that? That year, I traveled to the US to further my education, I spent more than seven years there. And when I returned, I got married within a few months." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Oh!." Chynna exclaimed softly.


    "But this isn''t the first time I''ve come to see you. It''s just that this is the first time I''m doing it openly after years. I''ve come to see you secretly." Chen Lihua revealed as she gazed at her.


    "You''ve come to see me before now, and I didn''t know about it?." Chynna exclaimed with a surprised look on her face.


    "Yeah. We will talk about this some other time, but you need to have your bath now." Chen Lihua said as she ushered her into the bathroom.


    Chen Lihua took her on a shopping spree.


    Chynna kept asking questions about the city because this is her first time out in ten years plus. She felt like she was in a different world.


    Chen Lihua patiently explained to her about the changes and development that has occurred over the past few years.


    "Don''t worry, you will get used to the new era soon. I was like you about a year ago when I just came back from the States. I couldn''t recognize anywhere, and I didn''t know my way around." Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly.


    Chynna admired her surroundings.


    Chen Lihua bought some clothes, footwear, bags, jewelry, and some other accessories. A make-up kit was included.


    "Lihua don''t you think all these are expensive and more than enough?." Chynna asked worriedly.


    She was into fashion in her teenage years, although she has been in seclusion for more than a decade, she still knew when she saw the price tags and quality of some products.


    "You deserve better. If you are worried about my money, please don''t be, because you can not finish it any time soon." Chen Lihua said happily.


    She felt so good speaking to Chynna the same way her husband speaks to her.


    ''Having money is a good thing.'' She thought.


    Chynna sighed tiredly. What can she say to her rich friend who wasn''t scared of spending money?


    After buying some snacks and drinks for her, Chen Lihua sent her back to the asylum.


    "We are going to the spa the next time we meet." Chen Lihua said to her after she orders the bodyguards to send the snacks and drinks inside.


    "Don''t bother yourself. You are pregnant now, and all that stress, you don''t need it." Chynna said to her as she glanced at her baby bump.


    "My baby is obedient, and wouldn''t mind. You will get food on daily basis from me. I don''t trust the food here. If I don''t make it next week, you will still get something from me." Chen Lihua promised as she smiled.


    Chynna nodded as she made her way to the building. But then she stopped in her steps as she turned around to wave goodbye to Chen Lihua.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/what-am-i-here-for_51648539280861253 for visiting.


    "Thank you!." She whispered to herself.


    Chen Lihua saw her mouth move, but couldn''t make out what she said, so she just waved back at her before her car drove off.


    Back in her room, Chynna glanced at all the food items Chen Lihua got for her. She looked at them with a little emotion in her eyes.


    Next, she moved to a corner and laid on the bed with her eyes shut.


    A few minutes later, she slept off. But tears rolled down her cheeks as she slept.


    One couldn''t tell the emotions she was feeling.


    ********


    In the evening, after Liu Longwei came home from work, Chen Lihua key him in on how her day went.


    She was so excited as she talked about it.


    "I want to get my friend a house." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "Why?." Liu Longwei questioned.


    "She will be out from the hospital before I deliver our baby. She doesn''t have any family to go back to. They all abandoned her after the incident. I''m all she''s got."


    "Okay. How many bedroom flat? Which city?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Do you want to give me a hand?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile on her face.


    "Yes. How can I allow my wife to bear a burden? What am I here for?." Liu Longwei retorted?


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said gratefully as she hugged him.

 Chapter 411 - The only way I get to carry my child

    Chen Lihua went ahead to give him a description of the kind of house she wanted for her friend.


    "The house has to be in this city, somewhere that has good security. The vicinity doesn''t need to be so quiet, but it has to be peaceful. The house has to be decorated with a few art pieces. She needs something that would give her peace of mind. The balcony has to be decorated with flowers. She needs a small library."


    Chen Lihua spent more than an hour talking about the house. She was taking good considerations for her friend.


    She believed that something creative would lift her spirit, so needed to put in her best.


    "I would have asked her for suggestions on what she would like, but she is not interested in it. And she has been shut out for far too long, so she might not know what to pick. I''ve got to do my best for her." Chen Lihua said to Liu Longwei.


    "You can tell Dongmei anything you want to be added in the house, I your little project over to her. I hope that''s okay?." Liu Longwei inquired.


    "Yes, that''s fine by me. Thank you so much." Chen Lihua said as she hugged him with a satisfied smile on her face.


    "Your friend would be happy to have someone like you in her life." Liu Longwei commented.


    "I hope she would appreciate it because for now, her heart is not yet open. I hope she understands soon. I wanted to get her a small villa, but I''m scared she would be too lonely and end up getting depressed." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "It''s good you are not getting her a Villa. It will not benefit her in any way. I like how thoughtful you are. Your friend will surely appreciate your love and care towards her, she just needs time to get used to having people in her life again." Liu Longwei consoled her as he rubbed her back.


    "I hope so." Chen Lihua said as she closed her eyes to sleep.


    In the middle of the night, she woke up. She glanced at the other side of the bed and saw Liu Longwei fast asleep.


    Since she didn''t want to wake him, she quietly lifted the duvet and came out from it. Then she tiptoed her way to the door.


    Just when she thought she was almost out of the room, she heard a voice behind her.


    "Where are you going to?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise as he watched her funny movement. He was wide awake now.


    "I''m sorry, did I wake you?." Chen Lihua asked embarrassingly.


    All her efforts to escape without being caught have gone to waste.


    She wanted to sneak out, but she was caught before she could accomplish her motive.


    "Where are you sneaking to?." Liu Longwei asked, completely ignoring her question.


    Chen Lihua was embarrassed, ''So he caught her?.''


    "Nowhere." She replied with her face down as she placed a hand on her baby bump.


    Liu Longwei studied her quietly, before asking.


    "Are you hungry?."


    Chen Lihua glanced at him, before smiling shyly. Then she nodded her head in response.


    "The baby is hungry."


    "It doesn''t make any difference. Come, let''s get you something to eat." Liu Longwei said as he came to her and held her hand.


    Together, they left the room.


    In the kitchen, Liu Longwei made her sit on one of the chairs surrounding the kitchen island.


    "What do you want to eat?." He asked as he looked into the double door refrigerator."


    "I don''t have anything in mind, I''m just hungry." Chen Lihua said in reply as she watched his movement.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/the-only-way-i-get-to-carry-my-child_51670806807242268 for visiting.


    "Okay, let me make a simple dish for you. You can eat this while you wait for the food." Liu Longwei said to her as he passed some gr.a.p.es to her.


    Chen Lihua watched as she ate the gr.a.p.es while he made a sandwich ???? for her.


    "Manage this, for now, you will eat something better in the morning." Liu Longwei said as he dropped a plate of the sandwich before her, and a warm glass of milk.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said as her eyes shone brightly.


    Without waiting for any signals, she began to eat. Halfway through the mean, she discovered that she was eating alone.


    "Why are you not eating?." She asked.


    Liu Longwei smirked ???? ''You finally remembered me:'' he thought.


    "I am not hungry, go ahead and finish the food." He said to her.


    Chen Lihua continued from where she left. She finished the sandwich and glass of milk.


    She was satisfied to have eaten to her fill.


    "Darling, thank you!." She said happily as she pecked his cheek.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he took the dirty dishes to the sink to wash.


    Chen Lihua waited patiently for him. At times, she would rub her baby bump with a smile on her face.


    "My appetite has increased, and I no longer have morning sickness, it is not serious like before." Chen Lihua said.


    "The baby is growing, so it needs food." Liu Longwei said.


    "I''ve been feeling dizzy a lot these days, so I asked the doctor about it, and she said that I needed to have plenty of water, at least eight glasses of water a day. I know it''s healthy to drink lots of water, but eight glasses? It''s a lot." Chen Lihua complained.


    Liu Longwei wiped his hands before coming to her side. "You have to drink the water for the baby, and yourself. You can set an alarm for drinking a glass every hour or two hours."


    "I will do that, for us." Chen Lihua said as she rubbed her baby bump.


    "You''ve been feeling dizzy, and you didn''t care to tell me? Watch how I will punish you." Liu Longwei said as he carried her and walked away.


    "Darling put me down." Chen Lihua cried out in shock.


    "Why?." Liu Longwei asked as he continued in his steps.


    "I''m heavy." She said.


    "I can still carry you. This is the only way I get to carry my child before it''s born." Liu Longwei said with a smile on his face.

 Chapter 412 - At her wits end

    Today, Liu Huiling was preparing her two daughters for school.


    She was combing hair Little Apple''s hair, while a maid he lied her pack the children''s books in their school bags.


    "Ma''am, breakfast is ready." A maid came into the children''s room and announced.


    "Serve them, and put some in the lunch pack." Liu Huiling instructed.


    "Baby, your hair is done! Cherry, come over." Liu Huiling said to her kids.


    Cherry was currently trying to brush her hair while looking at herself in the mirror, she was kind of struggling with the hairbrush.


    "Mum, I can give it a try," Cherry said as she continued trying to brush her hair.


    "Cherry, please not today. You will be late for school. If you want to learn to comb your hair, it can not be in the morning when you have school okay?." Liu Huiling cautioned.


    "Okay, mommy." Little Cherry said as she walked over with the comb in her hand.


    After getting the children ready for school, she ate breakfast with them and was about to send them out from the door when Zhang Wei called out to her.


    "Huiling?."


    Having heard their father''s voice, the two girls turned around to look at him with big smiles on their faces.


    "Daddy... Daddy!." They called out happily.


    "Good morning my little princesses." Zhang Wei greeted them with a smile on his face as he walked towards them and lifted them in his arms at the same time.


    "Good morning." They chorused in their sweet angelic voices.


    "You are already on your way out. Pay attention to your teachers in school today okay? Be a good girl for mommy and daddy, okay?."


    "Okay, daddy!." The two girls chorused happily.


    "Alright, give daddy a goodbye kiss." Zhang Wei demanded with a smile on his face.


    The two little girls each kissed one side of his cheeks before he brought them down. Then he watched as they were sent to the car by the maids.


    "You called me?." Liu Huiling asked straightforwardly.


    "Yes, we need to talk." Zhang Wei said in a serious tone.


    Liu Huiling glanced at her wristwatch before saying to him, "You have ten minutes."


    Then she said to one of the servants that helped her dress the kids, "Send them to school."


    There was a driver in the house, so all the servant needed to do was to follow the kids to their school, and made sure they got into their various classes.


    Liu Huiling went back into the house with Zhang Wei after waving goodbyes to her kids.


    "What do you want to talk about?." Liu Huiling asked immediately she sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and her arms folded.


    "I want to talk about us." Zhang Wei started as he stared at her.


    Liu Huiling glanced at her wristwatch without saying anything.


    "I know you have plans to divorce me, but I just want to tell you to give me some time to sort myself out. I don''t want a divorce, and I still love you!." Zhang Wei declared.


    "What guts!." Liu Huiling said, flaring up.


    "Did I beg you to love me? What stupid love are you talking about? One thing I''m sure of is that you never loved me. You tried your luck with me, and you got me. After we got married, you discovered I wasn''t your ideal woman. But let me ask you, what happened to all those times we dated? How come you didn''t find out who I actually was, or were you just playing around?."


    "Huiling I know you are very angry, but please don''t raise your voice." Zhang Wei tried to calm her down.


    "Don''t tell me to calm down, you don''t have any right over me, you''re lost that right over a year ago. You claim you love me, but right now, I see you as the greatest liar ever lived. The only reason I''m tolerating your presence is because of my children. I haven''t filed for a divorce because I''m considering my daughters. Not because I can''t look after them, but because of their emotions. But when I''m done figuring that part out, you will hear from my lawyer!."


    Liu Huiling said as she picked up her bag and tried walking away, but Zhang Wei held her arm.


    "Huiling, why are you getting walked up? I thought you have softened your stance towards me because..."


    "Because I allowed you to touch me last night?." Liu Huiling scoffed as she cut him off.


    "Exactly." Zhang Wei said.


    Liu Huiling chuckled angrily before taking her hand off his grasp.


    "You must be a big dreamer! The only reason I allowed you to touch me, was because I was emotional, and wanted to be reminded of what it felt like to be with you. This morning, I discovered that what we shared before, was not worth the pain, betrayal, and anguish I had to face because of you. I only have you, but you have more than me (one person) to satisfy you. Sorry, my eyes are opened, and I refused to pretend to be blind."


    After saying her piece, she walked out of the house immediately. She didn''t try to look back.


    Inside her car, she banged her fist on the steering in anger, as she cursed herself.


    "Huiling how could you sleep with him? How could you let his filthy hands touch you? You must have gone crazy!."


    Suddenly, tears came out of her eyes as she put her head on the steering.


    She started reminiscing, how she first met her Zhang Wei, their dates, and the first time meeting his parents.


    Their first time making love, their times when she first got pregnant and how he took good care of her. His reactions when she gave birth to their first princess.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/at-her-wit''s-end_51686265468277658 for visiting.


    He was very happy. And as he carried the baby, he said with his face full of smiles, "Now, you have finally given me a miniature you."


    ''What happened to all those times they were happy? What went wrong? Wasn''t she a good wife to him? Did she not try her best? Why does her marriage have to fail?.''


    All these thoughts kept appearing in her head as she let the pain she felt, show through her tears.


    She was pained, her heart was in pain. She wasn''t happy. She felt she was at her wit''s end.


    Who can she run to?

 Chapter 413 - Sitting on him with her legs apart

    "Baby, can you turn down the volume of the Tv, mama is busy?." Liu Dongmei said to Anna her daughter.


    "Mum, what are you scribbling?." Anna asked as she turned down the volume of the Tv.


    "Mum is preparing for a small get-together. A small family reunion for the a.d.u.l.ts only." Liu Dongmei replied.


    "Mum, I want to go with you," Anna said as she approached her.


    "No, you will stay with your cousins at grandma''s place." Liu Dongmei said replied before picking up her tablet.


    "Okay ????... But I will go with you next time right?." Anna asked expectantly.


    "Yes, I will take you with me next time." Liu Dongmei agreed.


    Just then, her phone rang and she picked it up.


    After listening for a while, she replied, "Okay, I will start working on a new painting from next week."


    "Mama, will you teach me how to paint?. Anna asked.


    "I will, but not now. Mama is quite busy these days." Liu Dongmei promised her.


    "Okay."


    "Get your homework, so I can help you with it."


    A few minutes later, Anna brought her homework over.


    The mother and daughter solved math problems together. And because Anna was smart, she didn''t need help with few questions.


    In the evening, Mu Boqin came back home. He went on a two weeks trip and just came back in the evening.


    His family was happy to have him back home.


    As daddy''s little princess, Anna had her father all to herself.


    But because she knew he needed to get some rest, she considered not taking up his time.


    She took the gifts he bought for her and went to her bedroom to unpack them.


    The bags were many, so the servants helped her to carry most of them.


    In their bedroom, Mu Boqin took a long shower before coming out in his sleepwear.


    "Baby, I missed you." He said as he circled his arms around Liu Dongmei''s waist.


    "I missed you too." Liu Dongmei said as she turned around to hug his neck.


    "Why didn''t you want us to shower together?." Mu Boqin asked as he kissed her face.


    "I didn''t want you to get naughty because you always do that. You just came back after a long trip, you need to rest instead of doing naughty things." Liu Dongmei replied with a smile on her face as she gently pinched his nose.


    "I don''t want to rest, I just want to get naughty." He said as he untied her night robe.


    "Stop it." Liu Dongmei said as she grabbed her robe with her hands and took a step backward.


    "You don''t want me?." Mu Boqin asked as he took a step towards her.


    "Stop right there." Liu Dongmei commanded as she pointed at him.


    "Believe me, I missed you more than you did, and I want you too. But you need to rest. How about we shower together in the morning and have a few rounds?." Liu Dongmei suggested as she tries to make it up to him.


    "Promise?." Mu Boqin asked, trying to confirm. He didn''t want to be tricked.


    Imagine raising your hopes high and then having it crushed? Mu Boqin didn''t want any of that.


    "Of course I promise. I want you... I missed you so much." Liu Dongmei confessed as she circled his chest with her finger.


    "I missed you too." Mu Boqin said as he kissed her lips. In the process, he grabbed her butts and squeezed them gently.


    Liu Dongmei let out a low m.o.a.n.


    Slowly, they moved to the bed.


    Mu Boqin sat on the edge of the bed and beckoned on her to come over, and she did come over.


    She sat on him with her legs apart. Her butts were on him, and her knees rested on the bed.


    (I''m not sure of how to describe this position so you will understand, but I hope you understand).


    "Aw." Mu Boqin groaned in pleasure when he felt her butts on his groin.


    Liu Dongmei smiled as she teased him by grinding her butts on his groin.


    "F*CK! Baby if you continue teasing me, I will have to tease you back." My Boqin warned in a low whisky voice.


    He could already feel his little brother hard down there. He could barely keep himself in check.


    Liu Dongmei heard his warnings and obediently sat at a place.


    This husband and wife kissed for a while. When Liu Dongmei felt a cold breeze and something warm on her n.i.p.p.l.e, she became wide awake.


    She looked down and saw a head on her chest. Her night robes were already loose, and her chest was bare open.


    She looked at the man who was seriously sucking her b.o.o.b.s.


    She m.o.a.ned softly. Although she wanted him desperately, she still wanted him to rest for the night.


    "Qin, stop." She called out in a m.o.a.n.


    Mu Boqin squeezed her butter as he said in a husky voice.


    "Baby, I don''t think I can wait till tomorrow, I want you now." Mu Boqin confessed.


    Right now, he was undergoing torture and wanted relief as quickly as possible.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/sitting-on-him-with-her-legs-apart_51690422728184539 for visiting.


    "You...you..." Liu Dongmei was speechless. But for the main fact that she wanted him, to get satisfaction, she allowed him to continue.


    Having gotten approval, Mu Boqin quickly put her on the bed and stood to untie his robes.


    He removed his briefs and was now stack n.a.k.e.d before her.


    Liu Dongmei''s eyes moved to his full length and gulped. She was hungry.


    My Boqin raise her leg and was about lowering himself to enter her when she stopped him.


    "Grab a safety pack, or you will not be granted a ticket to proceed." Liu Dongmei told him as she glared at him.


    "F*CK!."


    My Boqin understood her and immediately hurried to open the drawers in search of a protective sheet.


    At last, he got his hands on one. He quickly tore the pack open with his teeth and put it on before going back to his wife.


    Thinking that the fire must have gone down a little, they had another foreplay before they got right down to business.


    It was an exhausting night.


    Their hearts were willing, but their body was too tired to continue.


    The next morning, they showered together and continued from where they stopped last night, even forgetting their daughter had school to attend if not for her nanny that got her ready and sent her to school.

 Chapter 414 - Do you think I will starve my child?

    Two months later, Chen Lihua was seven months pregnant now. Her baby was as big as a head of lettuce.


    Her baby bump was now visible, and couldn''t be hidden so easily. But with a lot of effort, it still can be hidden.


    Weeks ago, she felt the baby kick for the first time, and she was so excited that she broke the good news to Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei was so happy that he placed his hand on her abdomen to feel the baby''s movement, but he was out of luck because, throughout that day, the baby didn''t make another move.


    He was not happy about that fact, but Chen Lihua consoled him.


    So at last, few days after the incident, he had his palm placed on Chen Lihua''s abdomen and was talking to the baby when it moved.


    Liu Longwei was so excited that he lifted Chen Lihua in his arms and twirled her. If not that she felt dizzy, he wouldn''t have been willing to put her down.


    "Sweetheart, the baby just moved!." Liu Longwei spoke like a proud father.


    "Yeah, I know." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face as she watched how excited he was.


    Liu Longwei could not keep the good news to himself, so he called his mother to share it with her.


    "Look how happy he is." Old Madam Liu said happily after the call ended.


    "It''s his first time being a father, and I''m sure he can not wait to hold the baby in his arms." Madam Liu said in response.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t believe that he literally, felt his child''s movements. He even placed his and on Chen Lihua''s abdomen again to see if he could get the same feeling again, and he eventually did.


    He was so excited that he hugged Chen Lihua.


    Chen Lihua placed her hand on her baby bump to feel its movements.


    "Our baby seems to be having a lot of fun because it''s moving around a lot."


    "Sweetheart, thank you!." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her cheek.


    That same week, Liu Longwei released his father.


    Mr. Liu felt quite lucky to be released from prison.


    As he was sent back home, he shut himself indoors, refusing to go for any board meetings.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/do-you-think-i-will-starve-my-child_51716744435263640 for visiting.


    Madam Liu and Old Madam Liu just let him stay at home and as it pleased him.


    Mr. Liu never wanted to experience hell again, so he behaved appropriately after he was released.


    Now at week twenty-eight, Chen Lihua has already started her antenatal and childbirth classes.


    She has found out her Rh status (Rhesus factor), and she is strictly on a diet even though Liu Longwei allows her to stray once in a while.


    It seems like the humidifier wasn''t walking anymore, or maybe the pregnancy hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are getting stronger because Chen Lihua finds it difficult to breathe at night these days because of her stuffy nose.


    According to her doctor''s recommendation, she got a nasal trip, and she wears them at bedtime to open up her nostrils.


    Saying that she wasn''t getting frustrated and depressed, that would be a while.


    Sometimes, She just wished she could take off her baby bump and drop it somewhere, and then when she was ready, she would gladly put it back on.


    But her wish couldn''t be granted.


    She feels dizzy these days, and sometimes, her feet start to swell.


    This is something Chen Lihua wouldn''t tolerate, so she takes walks more often and drinks a lot of water. She takes not less than ten glasses of water every day.


    She continues with her Yoga exercises, and it''s helping her a lot.


    Her b.r.e.a.s.t increased in size and became fuller and heavier. Sometimes she feels sore while bathing.


    Liu Longwei helps her to bathe most of the time because he wants to care for her, so he is usually careful while helping her to wash just in case he receives a death glare or gets sent out of the bathroom.


    Like it has happened several times. Poor Liu Longwei ????


    These days, Chen Lihua gets easily irritated, so nobody dears her.


    Even at work, the deputy chief is staying clear from her.


    He thinks that Chen Lihua must have eaten the guts of a leopard.


    One minute she is smiling, and another minute, she is angry.


    Like who the hell switches moods as fast as she does? ?????¡â?


    No one dared Chen Lihua these days, because her temper is one of a kind.


    But Liu Longwei still loves her that way. He gives her massages once her backache starts. He goes on a walk with her when she feels like she is about to go crazy.


    "I can''t wait to get this child of my stomach like it''s getting on my nerve! Aww!." Chen Lihua said in a certain day before climbing unto the bed.


    Liu Longwei was quiet and refused to be tempted to say anything.


    Who knows what he might say that would anger her, and cause him to be thrown out of the room?


    "Darling, let''s find out the baby''s gender like I want to know who is giving me so much trouble." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Okay, let''s do that. Do we have to go to the hospital for that?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "I have no idea, but I think the doctor should have an idea about it. Maybe we can leave it till my next appointment." Chen Lihua said with her hands on her protruded stomach.


    "Alright, as you wish." Liu Longwei said as he sat on the foot of the bed, ready to give her a massage.


    "Would you like to eat anything in the middle of the night?." He asked as he started to massage her foot.


    "No, let the baby starve a little." Chen Lihua said without a care.


    Liu Longwei glanced at her without saying anything. He continued with massaging her feet.


    "Like seriously? Do you think I would starve my child?." Chen Lihua asked, her tone not good at all.


    "Did I say anything?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    "Your mouth did not say anything, but that look said it all. Do you think I''m blind?." Chen Lihua asked angrily.


    Liu Longwei sighed and continued to massage her fret as he spoke, "Sweetheart, I didn''t mean any of that."


    Chen Lihua snatched her feet from his hands and immediately laid on the bed and closed her eyes.


    Just like that!


    Liu Longwei was not surprised, In fact, he was used to it. It''s just that he was avoiding it, but it still happened.

 Chapter 415 - Its a boy

    Just like that!


    Liu Longwei was not surprised he was used to it. It''s just that he was avoiding it, but it still happened. What can he do?


    Liu Longwei thought the next statement that would come out from her mouth would be for him to leave her room, but he waited and waited and didn''t hear that, so he stayed.


    He felt Her Royal Highness spared him today.


    So what he did was to lay down beside her and tried reaching his arm out to her, but Chen Lihua shrugged it away.


    He tried again, but before he could touch her, he heard her saying, "Baby can you allow Mama to sleep this night, can you at least try not to move in the middle of the night?."


    "Sweetheart, I''m sorry." Liu Longwei apologized, but the outcome was that he didn''t receive any response whatsoever.


    Being ignored didn''t feel good at all!


    "Let me sing to the baby." Liu Longwei suggested.


    He didn''t receive any reply, so he decided to try his luck. If he gets kicked out of the room, so be it.


    This time around, Liu Longwei forgot about his title as the CEO of a conglomerate. All his titles were stopped off.


    Right now, he was just a husband and father to be. He was doing his best to get on his wife''s good side.


    Liu Longwei stretched out his arm and held Chen Lihu''s stomach as he began to sing to the baby.


    As if the baby heard its father''s voice, it calmed down and started listening to the song.


    That worked like magic though.


    Chen Lihua was surprised, but she refused to say anything.


    When the baby stopped playing around, she fell into a deep sleep.


    Liu Longwei sighed in relief as the mother and child slept. He hugged his wife and joined them as well.


    These past few weeks and the present week, Chen Lihua has been entertaining her two mothers.


    It wasn''t weird for any of them to show up at her house to cook for her or to bring food for her.


    Sometimes, both women came at the same time. It was fun to be in their midst, but sometimes it wasn''t fun for Chen Lihua, especially when she gets kicked hardly by the baby.


    This always pisses her off. But what can she do?


    "What happened, did the baby kick you?." Lady Chen asked in concern as she noticed the frown on Chen Lihua''s face.


    "Yes, and the kick is so far. I mean, considering that it''s still in the w.o.m.b, and the kick is so painful." Chen Lihua complained.


    "It''s normal. You kicked me the same way as well." Lady Chen replied with a smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua was not even in the mood to listen to that. She wanted to be consoled and not be reminded of what she did when she hasn''t come into the world get.


    How in the world was she supposed to know about that?!


    She couldn''t even remember what she did when she was a year or two old, and it''s now this?...


    "I think the baby is enjoying our conversation." Madam Liu said with a broad smile on her face as she tried to soothe the suffocating atmosphere.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/it''s-a-boy_51717778448641724 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua sighed for she didn''t know what else to say again.


    She felt that she was bearing a burden not meant for her. She was already tired of being pregnant and couldn''t want to offload the baby in her stomach.


    Sometimes, when she wanted to sleep at night, that would be the time the baby is awake and wants to play.


    Other times, the baby will wake her in the middle of the night with a strong kick, and she would have to find something to eat if she still wanted to have a peaceful sleep for the rest of the night.


    That means the baby wouldn''t stay calm until she fills her stomach.


    Chen Lihua feels so miserable most of the time for the lack of a good night''s rest.


    Sometimes, she feels pity for Liu Longwei who stays awake with her when the baby is awake.


    Liu Longwei jas a lot of work to do these days, and he didn''t need to be disturbed. He needed a good night''s rest, but the baby says no, you must keep me company.


    Chen Lihua just can''t wait to give birth to the baby for she was tired and getting frustrated as the goes by.


    She didn''t sign up for this when she was coming into the world.


    How come no one told her that it wasn''t an easy journey to motherhood?


    Because she didn''t want Liu Longwei to be affected because he has to sleep late and leave for work early in the morning, she asked him to go back to his bedroom, but he refused that idea, insisting that he would bear the same pressure and troubles with her.


    He said, "How can I have a peaceful night''s rest when I know my wife is not having it easy?."


    Chen Lihua felt touched by his words.


    This was the man she married, the man that loves and cares so much for her. The man that considers her whenever he wanted to take any decision, was her man.


    And for that reason, Chen Lihua started trying her best to keep her temper in check.


    Today, Liu Longwei followed Chen Lihua for her doctor''s appointment, and to find out the s.e.x of the baby.


    "It''s a boy!." The doctor announced happily.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had smiles on their faces when their baby''s gender was revealed to them.


    They were going to be proud parents of a son very soon.


    The doctor advised them on what to look at.


    "Have you thought of where you want to have the baby?." The doctor asked them.


    "At home. She would have the baby at home." Liu Longwei replied immediately.


    "At home?. Why?." Chen Lihua asked with a stupefied expression on her face.

 Chapter 416 - Plans for home delivery

    "At home. She would have the baby at home." Liu Longwei replied immediately.


    "At home?. Why?." Chen Lihua asked with a dumbfounded expression on her face.


    "It''s safer." Liu Longwei said to her.


    The couple gazed at each other before Chen Lihua gave up.


    Seeing no form of argument raised between them, the doctor smile and listed some items on a plain sheet.


    "Since she would be having the baby at home, then I''m guessing Mr. Liu is ready to spend quite some money."


    "Yes, I have the money, you just need to tell me what will be needed so I can arrange for them on time." Liu Longwei replied.


    In this world, money can never be a problem for him!


    "Giving birth at home would cost quite a little fortune because we have to get the same set of equipment in the hospital, or maybe rent them." The doctor suggested.


    "There will be no need to rest them, I will buy them. My wife and I can just donate it to the hospital when we are satisfied with the number of children we want." Liu Longwei said.


    "Alright. Here is a list of the major equipment we would be needing to set up the place." The doctor said as she handed over the plain sheet of paper she has been scribbling on.


    "Keep it. You know about these more than us. I want you to cost everything for us and get back to me. I will give you the money to get them. I will also pay you for the additional work since it is not in your work field." Liu Longwei said as he pushed the paper back to her.


    "Thank you!. I will cost everything and get back to you, but you need to tell me how soon you need the delivery room ready." The doctor asked as she gave them curious glances.


    "As soon as possible. She has two months left now, and that is not a lot of time." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Give me two weeks to set everything straight. Mrs. Liu may go into labor this summer, so we have to be more than 100% ready for the birth of the baby." The doctor said to them.


    She has already given them the baby''s delivery due date, but things could happen along the way, as early labor, or an accident may force her to go into labor earlier than the supposed date.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei nodded in agreement.


    "Mrs. Liu, you can go ahead and shop for the baby items in peace. Your baby is healthy, and there are no health issues or complications." The doctor said to them with a professional smile on her face.


    "Thank you, doctor!." Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei said as they stood to their feet.


    "Mrs. Liu, you have to continue with the Yoga exercises and avoid sitting at a place for a long time. Take some walks in the evenings and drink enough water. Please don''t forget to eat healthily and take your drugs on time." The doctor reminded them.


    Outside the hospital but still, within the hospital''s vicinity, Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand as they slowly made their way towards their car at the underground parking lot.


    "So, we are having a son?." Liu Longwei asked happily.


    "Yeah." Chen Lihua replied with a warm smile on her face as she caressed her baby bump with her other hand.


    "Darling, don''t tell the family our baby''s gender." Chen Lihua suddenly said to him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/plans-for-home-delivery_51718599072610655 for visiting.


    "Why?." Liu Longwei asked with a confused expression on his face.


    This was supposed to be a piece of good news that needed to be shared with their loved ones, what was the matter?


    "I want the baby''s gender to be revealed to them on the baby shower day." Chen Lihua announced with an expectant smile on her face.


    "Alright, we will do it your way." Liu Longwei said, yielding to her.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua replied happily as she moved her hand to grab him by the arm.


    "Do you want to eat something special today?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "I don''t have any food in mind, what about you?." Chen Lihua asked as he helped her into the car.


    "Let''s go to the Italian restaurant we had our first date, it''s been a while." Liu Longwei announced as he gazed into her eyes with a smile on his face.


    "Okay, it''s really been a while." Chen Lihua agreed happily.


    The memories of their first date were still in her mind, fresh and solid. She would never forget it.


    Liu Longwei took her to the Italian restaurant and ordered for the exact food and wine they shared on their very first date.


    It was truly a beautiful moment to recreate the memories. But the exception now is that she had a little one inside of her, but that still didn''t ruin the picture.


    Just before the food arrived, Chen Lihua pestered Liu Longwei to take a picture with her.


    Liu Longwei gladly came to her side, and they took few selfies.


    Quite satisfied with the pictures, Chen Lihua allowed him go back to his seat before passing her phone to him so he could take a look at the pictures as well.


    "They are beautiful!." Liu Longwei commented as he glanced through the pictures with a satisfied smile on his face, before proceeding to send them to his phone.


    As they food arrived, Liu Longwei made sure Chen Lihua was okay with the food before he proceeded to start eating.


    "How is the food?." He asked as he gazed at her.


    "Delicious, still that same taste over several months ago." Chen Lihua said as she ate at a normal rate.


    She was kind of happy that she was able to stomach the food, so she enjoyed each bite she took.


    Liu Longwei popped the wine and poured a little quantity into her time glass, and poured half-glass for himself.


    "Cheers to our new life!." He said as he raised his wine glass towards her.


    "Cheers!." Chen Lihua said as she happily clinked glasses with him before taking a sip.


    The wine was delicious, and it had been a long time since she last had a taste of wine.

 Chapter 417 - The problem with having a wealthy husband

    "Cheers!." Chen Lihua said as she happily clinked glasses with him before taking a sip.


    The wine was delicious, and it had been a long time since she last had a taste of wine.


    After having a sumptuous meal, Chen Lihua suggested taking more pictures.


    She passed her phone to QB while instructing as she went over to Liu Longwei''s side.


    "Make sure you take good pictures."


    In the car, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei watched the pictures together.


    "Darling, my hands are just itching to upload these pictures." Chen Lihua said suddenly as she squeezed her free fingers.


    "Go ahead!." Liu Longwei teased, and all he received was a glare from her.


    "Darling, you are not romantic at all. You should have said, ''Sweetheart, hold on for a few months more, then you would be able to upload them without any troubles'' But you went to the opposite end of the road." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Your naughty woman, you really know the exact manner I always address you." Liu Longwei said as he gently squeezed her rosy cheeks.


    "Don''t squeeze my cheeks any more, I''m not a child. I''m going to be a mother soon." Chen Lihua reminded him with facts.


    How could Liu Longwei deny that fact? He could very well see her baby bump with his eyes.


    From the restaurant, Liu Longwei took her shopping. He booked the whole mall for her.


    "What are we doing here?." Chen Lihua asked as she saw they arrived at the Chen''s Mall.


    "We are here to get your gifts for your troubles these many months, and then, patronize mother." Liu Longwei said.


    Without wasting time, he took her into the mall and picked a lot of things for her.


    Chen Lihua had to tell him to stop before they would buy items more than enough to start a shopping mall in their Villa.


    Chen Lihua used that opportunity to go to the baby''s area to take a look at the baby items.


    She didn''t pick anything even though she was tempted, but she spent more than an hour at that section.


    If Liu Longwei didn''t come to drag her away, she would have spent the whole day there while staring at the baby items.


    "Don''t worry, in a month time, we will come here for an exclusive baby shopping. That time, no one will stop you from picking what you want." Liu Longwei promised her before she agreed to leave with him.


    During their little shopping trip, the manager of the shopping mall, Manager Sun, came personally to assist them with their shopping.


    Another spectacular thing that happened was that Chen Lihua got Liu Longwei some things.


    She picked some clothing, shoes, ties, cufflinks and so many other things for him.


    She was definitely starting a male clothing store considering the number of items she bought for him.


    ''Who was the one that was persuading him to end the shopping before he ends up carrying the whole shopping mall to their house?'' Liu Longwei smirked as he watched her urged him to try some of the clothes she picked for him.


    "Sweetheart, I don''t need new clothes, I have several of them already." Liu Longwei said as he tried to stop her, but who knew his words fell on deaf ears?


    "No! My baby''s father needs a change of wardrobe. And besides this is to say a little thank you for tolerating my bitchy attitude." Chen Lihua said to him as she handed a pair of joggers to him to try on.


    Since it was to show gratitude, Liu Longwei didn''t reject her anymore. But he made sure to pull her away from the shopping mall few minutes later.


    He successfully diverted her attention by mentioning about Ice Cream. So just like that, Liu Longwei took her to a famous and expensive ice cream store.


    Chena Lihua was carried away as she enjoyed the ice cream. She only remembered about his clothes when they got home and each of there items were sent to their various bedrooms.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/the-problem-with-having-a-wealthy-husband_51740373751495741 for visiting.


    She felt guilty that she neglected him, but she decided to get him more clothes by asking a famous designer to customize few sets of clothes for him.


    The day the clothes arrived, Liu Longwei was shocked.


    He knew the outfits his wife customized for him were very expensive.


    ''That must have cost her a fortune.'' He thought.


    After receiving that kind of quality outfits, Liu Longwei sent Ten million USD ($10,000,000) to her bank account. Not just because of the money his wife spent on him, but because he had not been giving her money even though he has been buying things for her.


    That totally slipped his mind, and he felt like an irresponsible husband.


    In other not for the same misharps to repeat itself again, Liu Longwei automatically set his account to transfer a huge sum of money to Chen Lihua at the beginning of every month.


    What a loving and caring husband he is!


    When Chen Lihua got the credit alert from her bank, she sighed.


    ''That was the problem with having a wealthy husband. She can''t even gift him in peace without receiving anything in return.''


    Just like that, few days went by.


    Liu Longwei was preparing for a two weeks trip, so he was quite busy these days.


    During weekends, Chen Lihua made sure to pay Chynna a visit as far as she didn''t have any important meeting or event scheduled.


    Her visits finally yielded good fruits, as they bond between them were getting stronger by each visit.


    Chyna also learned to express some of her emotions.


    On this day, Liu Dongmei requested for a video call from Chen Lihua and her sister, Liu Huiling.


    "Hello Sister-in-law!." Liu Dongmei greeted excitedly.


    Chen Lihua waved back at her two sister-in-laws with an excited smile on her face.


    "A Look at that smile. Sister-in-law you look more mature now. In some weeks time, we would all be welcoming you to motherhood." Liu Dongmei teased.


    This was indeed a habit of hers!

 Chapter 418 - Maldives Plans

    Chen Lihua waved back at her two sisters-in-law with an excited smile on her face.


    "A Look at that smile. Sister-in-law, you look more mature now. In some week''s time, we would all be welcoming you to motherhood." Liu Dongmei teased.

    Chen Lihua smiled without saying anything.


    "How are you Lihua?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "I''m fine."


    "How is the baby, and I hope it''s not disturbing you a lot?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "The baby is fine, just been giving me troubles all day." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.


    She didn''t look like someone who was getting troubles from the baby.


    "That''s the way it is at this stage. The baby has few more weeks before it comes into this world, soon, you will be able to relax." Liu Huiling assured her.


    "Lihua, can you let us in on the baby''s gender? We are curious." Liu Dongmei asked as she smiled brightly.


    "Sorry Sister Mei, but I can''t tell you." Chen Lihua said, rejecting her politely. Then she continued.


    "If you would like to know the baby''s gender, you have to come for the baby shower next weekend."


    "Hmmm! Alright, I will be there. But don''t be surprised if I find out the baby''s gender before then." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Don''t worry, I will not have any problem with it." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Dongmei, I guess you have something to say to us, but I hope it has nothing to do with going to the club?." Liu Huiling reminded.


    "Ah! I almost forgot about that. Yes, I have an important announcement to make, and No, no clubs this time around. Our wife is still heavily pregnant."


    ''Our wife?.'' Chen Lihua thought ???? with question marks above her head.


    "I have a whole plan drafted out for us. This summer, we are going to the Maldives to spend a weekend." Liu Dongmei revealed with an excited smile on her face.


    "That''s a nice plan!." Liu Huiling replied, seemingly interested.


    "Wow! ???? that will be great! But I think I will be an exception." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at her baby bump.


    "Don''t be in low spirit, you are coming. It''s just a little getaway for us, away from our children and parents." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Sister Ling, Sister Mei, don''t you think the Maldives is too far? We can just use the pool in my house." Chen Lihua said suddenly.


    If Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling were together at this moment, they would have exchanged glances.


    "Sister-in-law, don''t be old-fashioned like my brother, we are going to the Maldives, and that''s final." Liu Dongmei announced as Liu Huiling chuckled softly.


    She was seriously having fun with this kind of conversation where has to see everyone''s facial expression.


    But then, she spoke up. "Lihua, Maldives is not far, so you don''t have to worry about long-distance travel and the discomfort that comes with it especially in this condition."


    "Sister Ling, I wouldn''t mind traveling whether I''m pregnant or not. But the problem with this is that Longwei will not allow me to leave this City till I deliver our child." Chen Lihua revealed as she caressed her baby bump.


    "That wouldn''t be a problem. I''m sure he will do anything you ask of him." Liu Dongmei said while nodding.


    "The case is different now. He doesn''t agree to everything I request for." Chen Lihua complained.


    That''s true. Although Liu Longwei would do anything for her, that did not include risking her comfort.


    He always weighed the pros and cons before making a decision.


    "I don''t think it would be difficult to convince him. You just have to whine like a child and charm him with your smile, he will certainly agree. And besides, he would be going for a long business trip soon. He can''t afford to leave you in the house all by yourself." Liu Dongmei responded.


    "That will be a little difficult. These days, I can''t seem to charm or seduce him, it''s not working. The baby seems to be more important in his life than I am." Chen Lihua said to them.


    "Huh ???? ????! Lihua, has your charms started failing? July do your best. You can wear a s.e.xy nightdress and seduce him at night, I''m sure he will fall it." Liu Dongmei advised.


    "What are you teaching her?." Liu Huiling asked from the side.


    "An enchantment." Liu Dongmei said as she put her attention on Chen Lihua.


    "Sister Mei, I doubt if that will work. Longwei has refused to touch me. He is scared of hurting the baby, so I don''t think that trick would work on him." Chen Lihua disclosed to them.


    That''s the absolute truth. Since the last time and only time they had s.e.x while she is pregnant, Liu Longwei promised himself not to touch her till she delivers their baby.


    He is indeed scared of hurting their baby, because the last time they had s.e.x, she was uncomfortable and even cried out.


    He didn''t want any of that to repeat itself. He could be celibate for a while and get the reward later.


    These days whenever Chen Lihua got touchy, he would avoid her with so many excuses until he told her about the promise he made.


    Chen Lihua was happy at first. But as weeks passed by when she needed his touch, he denied her of it.


    And when she took the reins, he refused her.


    Now telling her to try seducing him in a s.e.xy dress would not work because Liu Longwei jas already programmed his mind not to touch her till she gives birth.


    "Lihua dear, don''t bother yourself a lot. I will talk to Brother Longwei on your behalf, he would surely allow you to go with us to the Maldives. Liu Huiling assured her with a smile on her face.


    "Yes, Lihua, talk to him as well and leave the remaining work for us. And get ready for the travels, because I have a lot of activities for us to participate in.

 Chapter 419 - Baby Shower

    It so happened that Chen Lihua decided to try her luck at night, but her plans failed.


    Avoiding see tears from her eyes, Liu Longwei agreed for her to travel with his sisters to the beach in the Maldives.


    Liu Longwei was still not great assured, so he asked his brother Liu Liwei to pause whatever activities he was in, and escort his wife to the Maldives with their sisters.


    Liu Liwei was glad to take up the job though he was still filming. This was the kind of job he liked undertaking.


    A chance to be away from work, and also an opportunity to have fun, and adding to the fact that he would be free to talk to his sister-in-law without considering his jealous brother.


    Liu Longwei knew he was excited, but he couldn''t cancel what he just said.


    He was very busy because of the business trip that would take a long time.


    His wife was almost getting to her due date, so he needed to be in the country to witness the birth of their first child.


    The business trip would take a while, and if care wasn''t taken, he would be away when his wife would give birth, and he wouldn''t want that.


    So he has been busy a lot these days to compress a kit of work.


    Letting his wife travel to have some fun before she gives birth wouldn''t be a bad idea. He just needed to set somethings up for their trip.


    At least, Chen Lihua would be back two weeks before he goes on the trip. He would enough time to spend with her and their unborn child.


    Chen Lihua was quick to share the news with her Sisters-in-law immediately she refused the positive reply from Liu Longwei.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/baby-shower_51764574801683372 for visiting.


    "Wow! That''s great! How many rounds did you guys go before he agreed?." Liu Dongmei asked curiously.


    Chen Lihua blushed as she replied, "He didn''t touch me. I guess he agreed quickly because he didn''t want to see me cry again."


    "Cry again? Is there an important story I''m missing?." Liu Dongmei asked curiously.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she went on to tell her what transpired a few months ago.


    "He refused my request and spoke to me in a manner that seemed unlike him, so I cried. I think he was scared because of how miserable I became as I cried, and the baby, so he kneeled and apologized. The next morning, my eyes were still swollen, so he felt guilty. Mother cautioned him as well."


    "I see. Now you''ve got him at the palm of your hands, try your best to make use of the opportunity to the best of your ability. This kind of opportunity comes once in a Blue Moon." Liu Dongmei advised with a funny look on her face.


    When the weekend came, Chen Lihua hosted a small baby shower party for her baby, inviting only the immediate family members of Liu and Chen''s.


    It was a small and fun party to behold.


    When both families stepped into Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s home, they immediately discovered the s.e.x of the baby when they saw the blue and white colored decors.


    Both families congratulated her with happiness in their hearts.


    Chen Lihua and the baby received lots of gifts from both families and close relatives.


    The baby shower was fun because everyone was there to make it a memorable one.


    Both families blessed the unborn baby before leaving.


    To save the memory of that day, Chen Lihua had a video and pictures recorded, so she could always go down memory lane.


    Chen Lihua looked beautiful in her sleeveless white dress and blue flowered crown. She was all smiles throughout that day, and Liu Longwei refused to leave her side.


    He assisted her with every little thing she wanted.


    Chen Lihua was asked to dance alone before Liu Longwei joined her.


    The cake was cut, the wine was toasted, gifts were given to the guests, and they were all asked to dance together.


    The ceremony was held outdoor.


    Chen Lihua invited a private designer to handle the decorations and everything about the baby shower, and the job was done satisfactorily.


    Everybody in attendance had a lot of fun that day.


    Aunt Lin who was in the hospital, also participated in the event because the ceremony was live-streamed.


    Chen Lihua made sure she wasn''t left out at the party, and Aunt Lin was grateful for her considerations and care.


    The week after the baby shower, Chen Lihua was ready to embark on the journey with her Sisters-in-law.


    Liu Longwei personally helped her to pack her bags as he gave her important pointers and reminded her of the doctor''s instructions.


    Seeing how worried he was, Chen Lihua suggested that he comes along with them, but he rejected that idea.


    "This is a sacrifice I have to make so I would be in the Country a few days before your delivery date. I want to be with you in the labor room." Liu Longwei said as he hugged her waist.


    This was indeed a sacrifice he had to make for the more important event to come.


    He could always travel with her to the Maldives as many times as possible, but there were different feelings and emotions from watching her give birth to their baby.


    That was something that happens once in a while.


    He might not be able to control his schedules the next time she steps into the delivery, but he can control it now.


    All that was needed was for him to go along with the schedule he planned some months back just for the big day.


    "Darling, thank you for everything that you do for me." Chen Lihua said with a grateful heart as she relaxed her head on his shoulder.


    "Thank you for the burden of bearing our child." Liu Longwei said to her as he caressed her hair.


    "I promise to do everything I can to relieve most of your burden." He promised.


    After a while, Chen Lihua spoke up. "Darling, have you thought of a name for our child?."


    "I''ve been looking at quite some names lately, but nothing is suitable for me. Let''s talk about it when you are back from the Maldives." Liu Longwei replied.

 Chapter 420 - Maldives

    Today, Chen Lihua and her Sisters-in-law were set to travel. Liu Longwei drove Chen Lihua to their private family Airspace.


    Liu Dongmei, Liu Huiling, and Liu Liwei were already waiting in the private jet for her.


    Liu Longwei spent two minutes with them before the private jet took off.


    "Who knew that brother is still romantic." Liu Dongmei commented.


    Before Liu Longwei left the private jet, he kissed Chen Lihua for few seconds before letting go.


    Now seeing this scene and remembering what Chen Lihua told her, she couldn''t help but comment.


    "You are not serious." Liu Huiling said.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/maldives_51784733230683302 for visiting.


    As the two Liu sisters conversed, Chen Lihua and Liu Liwei conversed.


    "How come you didn''t come with your girlfriend?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at him.


    "I don''t have a girlfriend yet." Liu Liwei said as he faked being in a helpless situation.


    "Not yet? That means you are pursuing someone already, who is she?." Chen Lihua asked excitedly, seeking gossip news.


    Liu Liwei chuckled at Chen Lihua''s smartness. "Sister-in-law, I will introduce you to her when I have won her over."


    "That''s good. But I need to see what she looks like first. I want to see the woman that dared to make our handsome youngster wait." Chen Lihua said to him in a smile.


    ''Youngster? Since when did he become a youngster? He was the same age as her, what happened?.'' Liu Liwei thought to himself.


    "Alright. I will let you take a sneak peek at her picture." Liu Liwei said as he took out his phone from his pocket and waved over his face.


    A few seconds later, he handed his phone to Chen Lihua with a proud smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua took the phone and glanced at the screen. She saw a woman in sunglasses, and only her side view could be seen.


    "Liwei, what''s this? I can not see her face, but she looks beautiful. Do you have another picture of her?." Chen Lihua asked as she returned the phone to him.


    "No..." Liu Liwei replied as he took his phone.


    "What does she do?." Chen Lihua inquired.


    "She is an act...." Liu Liwei suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence.


    Chen Lihua glared at him for she knew what he wanted to say.


    His girlfriend was an actress, and he didn''t have another picture of her?.


    "What''s her name? I need to search for her on the internet. Since you don''t have any of her clear pictures, the Internet will help me out." Chen Lihua said to him.


    Liu Liwei covered his face with his palms after being caught.


    "You have a girlfriend and you didn''t care to tell us?." Liu Dongmei suddenly chimed in.


    "It''s over!." Liu Liwei said as he dramatically shut his eyes and laid back on his seat.


    "What are you pretending for? Come on, go ahead and show us her picture, I need to see what she looks like and evaluate her for you." Liu Dongmei said as she stretched her arms, demanding his phone.


    Chen Lihua sat there and watched in awe. She began to wonder if Liu Dongmei acted this way when she first heard about her.


    But she didn''t think that was possible because she was sure she wouldn''t dare this act in Liu Longwei''s presence.


    "Do you have a girlfriend?." Liu Huiling asked interestedly.


    "I don''t have a girlfriend yet, but I''m still trying to win someone over." Liu Liwei replied.


    "It doesn''t matter, let''s see her picture." Liu Dongmei demanded.


    Liu Liwei had no choice but to find the girl''s picture from his phone gallery before handing it over to Liu Dongmei.


    He had a scowl on his face as he handed his phone over.


    "She is pretty and quite young. And I think I''ve seen her somewhere." Liu Dongmei said as she thought hard.


    "She is an actress." Liu Huiling said in response as she glanced over at the picture again.


    "Yes, I remember now, because I have seen her act alongside Liwei in a movie." Liu Dongmei said with a smile on her face.


    Seeing Chen Lihua''s curious gaze, Liu Huiling handed the phone over to her.


    "She is beautiful." Chen Lihua commented as she handed the phone to Liu Liwei.


    Liu Dongmei didn''t let the matter slide. She teased Liu Liwei till he shut his eyes and pretended to not hear what she was saying.


    Chen Lihua laughed over the jokes as well. It was really fun to be with Liu Dongmei.


    Chen Lihua yawned as she felt sleepy, so she closed her eyes.


    At this point, Liu Dongmei kicked Liu Liwei and asked him to adjust the seat so Chen Lihua could sleep comfortably.


    Chen Lihua being fast asleep was what saved his ass today, otherwise, Liu Dongmei would have teased him till they got to the Maldives.


    As they arrived at the Maldives, they went straight to their guest house to rest.


    Maldives was such a beautiful to be in.


    "Sister-in-law, rest a bit, We will go out for dinner later in the evening." Liu Liwei said as he sent her luggage ???? to her bedroom.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua replied as she sat on the bed.


    Because she just slept and woke up, she already feeling hungry. So she took some snacks out from her bag to eat.


    "Sister-in-law, I will send someone to bring you something to eat. But if you don''t want to sleep, you can come to the dining area to eat something." Liu Liwei said to her.


    "I''m so hungry that I don''t want to sleep anymore." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Okay. I will send a servant to escort you to the dining area when you''re done washing up." Liu Liwei said to her.


    After helping her to arrange her luggage, he left the room.


    And just as Chen Lihua about going to have a shower, a servant cane into the living room to help her unpack her bag.


    Minutes later, Chen Lihua arrived at the dining area. Liu Dongmei, Liu Huiling and Liu Liwei were already sitting and waiting for her.

 Chapter 421 - In for it

    And just as Chen Lihua about going to have a shower, a servant came into the living room to help her unpack her bag.


    "Sister-in-law, you are here?." Liu Liwei said as he got up and set a chair for her.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said as she sat on the dining chair, and glanced at the different dishes on the table.


    They looked appetizing!


    "Lihua, try this, you will love it." Liu Huiling said as she passed a plate of food to her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the plate of food and gladly took it. A bite from it, and she was already wanting more.


    "You like it?." Liu Dongmei asked with a smile.


    "Mmmm. I love it." Chen Lihua said as she continued putting more food into her mouth.


    Chen Lihua enjoyed lunch, as her in-laws continued putting food for her.


    Chen Lihua ate till she couldn''t eat anymore. After lunch, she took a walk around.


    It was necessary as she needed her food to digest and also stretched her legs because she has been sitting for a long time.


    The exercise was important if she didn''t want to get any swollen feet.


    Around 4 pm, the servants in the house got their bags ???? ready to send them off.


    A helicopter arrived to pick them up in ten minutes.


    No bodyguards followed them this time around.


    The helicopter dropped them in the middle of the ocean in a little island helipad.


    From there, they took a boat ride to their lodgings.


    They went into their various rooms to check it out and relax for a bit.


    They didn''t come with much luggage, just a few since they would be moving from one place to another according to Liu Dongmei''s plans.


    Liu Liwei kept taking selfies ???? right from the time they arrived in the Maldives.


    Liu Dongmei was not left out, she kept taking pictures and videos of everyone.


    After settling down, their tour guide came back to escort them to an underwater restaurant to have their dinner.


    Chen Lihua was scared as she took the stairs downstairs, so Liu Liwei had to support her by holding her hand.


    At this moment, Liu Dongmei captured them.


    "Are you asking for trouble?." Liu Huiling asked her as she carefully walked down the stairs.


    "I have to send it to big brother, can''t wait to see his reactions." Liu Dongmei said excitedly as she clicked on share.


    Before Liu Huiling could stop her, she had already sent the picture.


    "I can see that your body is itching for hard work. After this little holiday, just pack your bags and get ready to be sent to work harder."


    "Shit! Brother Longwei will not let this slide if sees it. I''ve got to delete it before he views it." Liu Dongmei said in a tensed manner.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/in-for-it_51788129476072993 for visiting.


    "I deleted it successfully!." She announced a few seconds later as she smiled.


    "Good for you." Liu Huiling commented.


    When they finally got to the dining hall, they took a table, two people per table.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Liwei shared one.


    They were served prosecco coca while waiting for the food to be served.


    Having a taste of the c.o.c.ktail, Chen Lihua finished hers within few seconds.


    Liu Liwei watched her in a smile as he passed his drink to her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the drink, and then at him. Liu Liwei gestured to her to go ahead.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said gratefully before taking it. This time around, she didn''t rush it, she enjoyed it slowly.


    Not knowing that Liu Dongmei was recording her, Chen Lihua passed the empty glass cup back to Liu Liwei with a smile on her face.


    "You barely got out from trouble, you want to jump straight into another one?." Liu Huiling asked.


    Seriously, she didn''t know what was wrong with this sister of hers. She couldn''t punch her could she?


    "Thanks for the reminder." Liu Dongmei said as she quickly put her phone down.


    It seems like trouble was tempting her.


    Just as their food was being served, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she glanced at Liu Huiling in fear before proceeding to answer the call.


    Without waiting to receive a greeting, Liu Longwei went straight to the point to ask, "What did you delete?."


    Liu Dongmei faked a laugh as she lied. "It''s nothing, it was a mistake."


    "I saw what you sent. You really have guts." Liu Longwei replied as he ended the call.


    Liu Dongmei was so shocked and was about to ask how he managed to see what she deleted in few seconds. He wasn''t even online then.


    "What''s that?." Liu Huiling asked when she saw the fright on her face.


    "I just landed myself in big trouble." Liu Dongmei replied as she gulped down half a glass of water.


    She suddenly began to feel hot as she fanned herself with her hands.


    "Did brother see the video?." Liu Huiling asked, surprised at the situation.


    "He saw it. I''m just trying to imagine how he saw the deleted video." Liu Dongmei wandered in concern.


    "It''s not impossible. Tech these days are at a higher level. Just pack your bag once we go back to China, or you can ask Lihua for help." Liu Huiling advised as they both turned their heads to glance at Chen Lihua who was happily chatting with Liu Liwei.


    "Sister-in-law, can you help me persuade my brother not to punish me?." Liu Dongmei asked with a smile on her face.


    "Your face looks awful. What did you do this time around?." Liu Liwei asked in a low chuckle.


    He seemed happy by the way.


    Liu Huiling picked up her phone ????. She found the picture and showed it to them.


    "She sent it to brother, now she is in for it." Liu Huiling added.


    "You can take more pictures and send them to him if you don''t mind." Liu Liwei teased happily.


    He was proudly enjoying the situation!


    He received a glare from Liu Dongmei.


    "Sister Mei, don''t worry, I will help you and talk to him, I will make sure he listens to me." Chen Lihua promised.

 Chapter 422 - I will kiss you till youre out of breath

    "Sister Mei, don''t worry, I will help you and talk to him, I will make sure he listens to me." Chen Lihua promised.


    "Thank you!." Liu Dongmei said, but she still couldn''t calm down.


    Liu Huiling glanced at the food that was served, and her face scrunched up in a frown.


    She picked her cutlery ???? and had a bite of the food. She found it difficult to swallow. And within few seconds, she had a hand over her mouth and rant out.


    This action of hers got the attention of the other three.


    "What''s wrong with sister Ling?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/i-will-kiss-you-till-you''re-out-of-breath_51792451286924859 for visiting.


    "I have no idea, let me go and check up on her." Liu Dongmei responded as she stood up and left.


    Halfway, she met Liu Huiling.


    "Are you okay?." She asked, concerned.


    "I''m fine." Liu Huiling replied as they walked back to the restaurant.


    "I don''t think I can eat the seafood, so you can have it all to yourself." Liu Huiling said as they took their seat.


    "Sister Ling, are you okay?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at her.


    "I''m fine, just feeling a little sick." Liu Huiling replied with a faint smile on her face.


    Liu Dongmei looked around cautiously even though they were the only ones around.


    She whispered in a low tone as she gazed at her, "Are you pregnant?."


    Something shifted in Liu Huiling''s eyes, but she quickly masked it up.


    "Why do you think so?." She asked indifferently.


    Seeing that indifferent look, Liu Dongmei decided to let the matter slide.


    After enjoying a full course meal, Chen Lihua needed to take a walk for her food to digest. She needed to burn the fats down.


    But before then, she asked Liu Liwei to take a picture of her and the fishes.


    The underwater restaurant had an amazing view. Though she was scared that the fishes might break through the glass, she was still astonished by the beautiful view.


    After dinner, they four went to take a walk at the beach as they enjoyed the night breeze.


    Suddenly, Chen Lihua paused in her steps as a smile appeared on her face. She had a hand on her baby bump as she spoke.


    "Why are you kicking me? Did you enjoy the food today?."


    She received another kick, and she smiled again as she continued conversing with her baby.


    Liu Huiling stood at a place and watched her. Then a smile appeared on her face.


    ''What a joy it is for a mother to be''. She thought as she placed a hand over her flat stomach.


    Liu Dongmei caught her actions but didn''t say anything. She pretended as if she caught sight of nothing.


    "I think the child can''t wait to be out." Liu Dongmei said with a smile on her face.


    "Yeah, he has been kicking me a lot these days." Chen Lihua agreed as she smiled brightly.


    "Sister-in-law, have you and brother decided on a name for him?." Liu Liwei asked, joining in the conversation.


    "Not yet, but we will decide on a name soon." Chen Lihua replied.


    After taking a walk, they retired to their lodgings.


    The first thing Chen Lihua did when she arrived in her room was to drink a glass of water and take a bath.


    She was just in her nursing bra and panties when Liu Longwei called her. It was a video call.


    Chen Lihua picked the call and smiled at him.


    They gazed at each other for a while before speaking up at the same time, "How are you?."


    They laughed at themselves before Liu Longwei took the wheel.


    "How are you?." He asked.


    "I''m fine. Had an eight-course meal and took a walk. Just had my bath." Chen Lihua summarized.


    "How are you?." She asked.


    "I miss you", Was his reply.


    "How is work?." Chen Lihua asked as she touched her lips with her finger as she gazed at him.


    "Well, it''s going on quite well. You don''t look like you are wearing anything, what are you doing?." He asked curiously.


    From the camera, he could see her bare shoulder and a white sling that looked like the hands of her bra.


    He could also see her full chest.


    "You wanna see what I''m going?." Chen Lihua asked with a blooming smile.


    "Yeah." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said before finding a perfect angle and placing her phone there.


    Now, Liu Longwei was able to get a good look at her half-n.a.k.e.d body.


    Liu Longwei gazed at her body with raised brows, then he smiled as he asked.


    "Pregnancy looks good on you. Did you just have your bath?."


    "Yeah. I took a shower." Chen Lihua replied as she walked to the vanity table in the room to pick up her beauty products and started applying them to her face.


    "You are beautiful." Liu Longwei commented as he watched her every move.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua blushed.


    After her skincare routine, she picked up coconut oil and started rubbing it on her baby bump.


    "What''s that?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Relax, it''s coconut oil for stretch marks." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Okay. I want to say hello to the baby. How is he? Has he been obedient?." Liu Longwei inquired.


    "He is fine. He has been kicking a lot lately. I think he can''t wait to come out and meet us properly." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at her baby bump and rubbed it slowly.


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he caught sight of that motherly love in her eyes. "You no longer make a fuss when the baby disturbs you, you have grown up."


    "Yeah, I did grow up. I grew to love my baby and not get angry at him. If I speak to him in a soft tone, he listens and becomes obedient. But sometimes, he wants to have fun, so I just let him be." Chen Lihua said as she smiled at him.


    "I feel like kissing you right now." Liu Longwei made his desire known as he gazed at her.


    "What''s stopping you?." Chen Lihua asked as she stood to her feet and showed him her beautiful body.z


    Liu Longwei took a good look at her body. She still looked seductive even with the baby bump.


    He felt that she looked better now that she has put on some weight.


    "Wait till you come back, I will kiss you to you are out of breath." Liu Longwei threatened.

 Chapter 423 - Video Call with her husband

    He felt that she looked better now that she has put on some weight.


    "Wait till you come back, I will kiss you to you are out of breath." Liu Longwei threatened.


    "I also can''t wait for your kisses." Chen Lihua replied.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/video-call-with-her-husband_51805650006622617 for visiting.


    This couple spent thirty minutes on the call. While at it, Liu Longwei watched her dress up and turn off the lights leaving the bedside lamp on, before getting into the bed.


    "Why are you wearing so little?." Liu Longwei asked with a frown on his face.


    "It''s so hurt, I can''t bear the heat." Chen Lihua replied.


    Her nightdress was see-through. Dressed like that, she can seduce anybody. But Liu Longwei was worried about her catching a cold.


    "I guess the AC is turned on, so in no time, you will start to feel cold, and that might be when you are already deep into sleep. Cover your body with the duvet, I don''t want you catching a cold." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua replied. With the phone on hand, she adjusted the duvet so it was now covering her body.


    "It''s the humidifier working?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yeah, don''t worry, my nostrils won''t get blocked this time around." Chen Lihua assured him.


    She was happy because her husband paid close attention to her, and he cared about her wellbeing.


    "Alright! Sweetheart, we will talk tomorrow, it''s late. Good night, I love you.." Liu Longwei said as he sent her a flying kiss.


    "Good night, I love you." Chen Lihua responded as she blew a kiss to him before disconnecting the call.


    The next day, Chen Lihua, Liu Dongmei, Liu Liwei, and Liu Huiling went to a restaurant to have lunch after having toured some places.


    The restaurant they went to was very big and organized.


    For the food part, they had the section for deserts, with the cakes decorated like a piece of art. There was the salad section, subdivided into the fruit salad and different kinds of vegetable salads.


    There the pizza section, the grill, pasta, and others.


    Seeing how fancy everything was, so Chen Lihua piled up a lot of food for herself.


    "Sister-in-law, can you finish the food?." Liu Liwei asked in surprise.


    Chen Lihua glanced at him before taking a look at what she ordered. ''It was quite a lot'' she thought.


    "It doesn''t matter if I''m not able to finish them, I just want to get a taste of everything here. If I can not finish them, you are here to finish it for me."


    Liu Liwei nodded and watched her order some more.


    Chen Lihua wasn''t a foodie, and in the first trimester of her pregnancy, she couldn''t stomach anything.


    But surprisingly in her third trimester, she couldn''t control her appetite and she was now eating a lot. But she didn''t mind.


    She needed to eat to her satisfaction so she could store up enough energy to push her baby out.


    Just like she said, she asked Liu Liwei to finishes her lunch on her behalf, and Liu Liwei ate without qualms.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling joined because the food was much. Though the latter didn''t eat much because her stomach felt on well.


    "Sister-in-law, you made our table look like we are having a feast." Liu Liwei said to her.


    "It''s not bad." Chen Lihua said.


    After lunch, they all went for a body massage.


    Chen Lihua slept off because she was tired and also because she felt relaxed because of the massage.


    Liu Liwei was in another room being attended to by a female worker, while the three females were being attended to by three female workers in a different room.


    For the body massage, Chen Lihua had it done in a different position because of her baby bump, because there was no way for her to lie on her stomach with her baby bump.


    When Chen Lihua woke up, she didn''t see anyone around so she thought they had left. She quietly got dressed and went to the reception area where she saw the people she thought to have left, chatting over a bottle of wine.


    A relaxed smile appeared on her face as she approached them.


    Liu Huiling was the first person to see her so she called out to her as the others turned around to have a look.


    "Lihua, over here."


    "Sister Ling, Sister Mei, why did you let me sleep? and it made you wait for me." Chen Lihua said to them as she took a seat.


    "It wasn''t proper to disturb your sleep. And we weren''t bored. We have been chatting over this bottle of wine." Liu Huiling explained.


    "What do you want to drink?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "A bottle of water will do." Chen Lihua replied tiredly.


    "You just woke up from sleep, do you need something to eat?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "Some cookies will do, thank you!." Chen Lihua replied happily.


    Liu Liwei went to get her order for her.


    That same day, they transferred to another place. Liu Dongmei already had an aim for bringing them to that particular island.


    From Huarawali Maldives to Vaadhoo Island.


    There was something special about the Vaadhoo island Liu Dongmei wanted them to see. She wanted them to see the sea of stars.


    That''s right, Vaadhoo island is also known as the sea of stars, and it has such an exciting and beautiful view.


    So Liu Dongmei wanted them to transfer to Vaadhoo Island earlier that evening, so they could have lunch there, and take a walk at the beach while admiring the sea of stars.


    Chen Lihua enjoyed her cookies and finished three bottles of water on the spot.


    Liu Dongmei admired her enthusiasm so she said, "Lihua keep it up. When I was pregnant, I didn''t drink water like you. Finishing three bottles of water at the spot, how did you do that?."


    "It''s not hard. Since I became pregnant, I have already trained my body to take more than eight glasses of water every day. The second reason is this, we are in Summer, so I feel easily thirsty. Thirdly, I just woke up from sleep, so I''m bound to be thirsty. Then lastly, the cookies make me thirsty, so I have no choice but to keep drinking water."

 Chapter 424 - The sea of stars

    Later that evening, they transferred to Vaadhoo Island.


    After dinner, the tour guide led them to that place.


    Chen Lihua was dumbstruck at the scenario. This place was beautiful!


    The sea of stars was like glowing blue waters. The glowing blue waters are caused by a natural chemical reaction known as bioluminescence.


    When microorganisms in the water are disturbed by oxygen, the result is glittering and sparkling seawater.


    As the waves crash on the beach, the water glows in the dark and gives the impression it is acting like a reflects the sparkling stars above.


    The phytoplankton''s blue glow is like a defense mechanism that wards off the Marine organisms from eating them.


    Not everyone has the luck of seeing them, but because they came at the right time, they were able to see such a beautiful view and take pictures of it.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t help stepping into the water, as she did that, the blue lights came on strongly. She smiled like a child that has found a playground.


    Liu Liwei, Liu Dongmei, and Liu Huiling couldn''t help taking pictures of the sea of stars.


    They admired the scenario with smiles.


    "I''ve never seen something as beautiful as this. I feel like transporting them back home." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at the beautiful sea waves.


    "This place is beautiful." Liu Huiling said as she closed her eyes to breathe the sea''s air.


    Chen Lihua wanted to touch the waters, but she could not. She was not alone now, and besides, she couldn''t bend with ease, so she sighed regrettably.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t enjoy the beautiful scenario alone, so she called Liu Longwei on a video call to show him around.


    "Darling take a look at this, isn''t it beautiful?." Chen Lihua said immediately he answered the call, as she showed him around.


    "It''s beautiful." Liu Longwei replied as he glanced at the sea of stars without much interest. But seeing how excited his wife was, he smiled.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/the-sea-of-stars_51810449095709599 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua swapped her phone camera (used her back camera instead of the front camera) so Liu Longwei could see his three siblings.


    Seeing their eldest brother, they waved at him happily as they greeted him.


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he responded to their greetings.


    Chen Lihua swapped the camera back so Liu Longwei could see her.


    "You are happy?." Liu Longwei asked as he gazed at her.


    "Yes."


    Just then, the waves came crashing, and that caused the blue lights to appear. This alone caused excitement from the four a.d.u.l.ts.


    Chen Lihua didn''t want Liu Longwei to miss out on this, so she turned the camera so he could also partake in it.


    After the excitement died down, Liu Longwei asked with a frown on his face. "You are not putting on any footwear?."


    Chen Lihua glanced at her feet before looking back at him. "Who wears flip-flops to the beach?."


    Liu Longwei sighed tiredly as he asked again. "Did you enter the water?."


    "Mmmm." Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei was speechless. Actually, he shouldn''t have asked that question because he knew what his pretty wife was capable of doing.


    He may have been trying his luck.


    "Don''t get into the water again, it''s dangerous." He cautioned.


    "Yes Sir." Chen Lihua replied.


    After watching the sea of stars for what seemed to be an hour, they retired to their lodgings.


    When they went back to their rooms, Liu Dongmei came knocking at Liu Huiling''s door, but it took her a while to open the door.


    Liu Dongmei was about asking, ''what took you so long?'', but she paused in the middle of her sentence when she saw her face wasn''t looking so good.


    She shut the four behind her and followed her into the room.


    "Ling?." She called out. "Are you pregnant?." She continued.


    Liu Huiling paused in her steps for two seconds before going to her bed to sit.


    "Yes." She answered.


    "Wow! That''s good news. But why are you trying to hide the fact that you are pregnant?." Liu Dongmei asked, confused about the whole thing.


    "It''s nothing." Liu Huiling replied.


    "Does Zhang Wei know about this?." Liu Dongmei inquired as she sat next to her side.


    "I haven''t broken the news to him."


    "I see... But why do I feel that you are not happy with his good news ?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    She has noticed that her sister hasn''t been in a good mood, but she still tried to play along with them.


    "It''s not like I''m not happy. It''s just that I''m not ready for another child now. But I''m fine now, I am just trying to get through this morning sickness cause it''s terrible." Liu Huiling replied


    "What is going on between you and Zhang Wei?." Liu Dongmei inquired. She has been wanting to ask that question since a long time ago.


    "Is it that obvious?." Liu Huiling asked tiredly.


    "Yeah. Everybody can tell that things are not going smoothly between you two for a long while now." Liu Dongmei revealed as she gazed at her with worry written all over her face.


    "I can''t tell you much now, but Zhang Wei and I are not on good terms now. But we will talk about it later when I''m done figuring things out." Liu Huiling said in reply before adjusting to lie on the bed.


    "Okay. At least, tell Zhang Wei about the pregnancy, you two need to fix things now you are pregnant." Liu Dongmei advised.


    Liu Huiling heaved a sigh. "I will."


    "Alright, take care. Good night." Liu Dongmei said as she blew a kiss to her.


    Liu Huiling smiled as she caught the kiss.


    "Good night." She replied in a soft tone.


    After Liu Dongmei left, she stayed in that position for some minutes before picking up her phone to dial Zhang Wei''s number.


    At the second ring, the call connected.


    "Ling, what''s going on? You don''t pick my calls." Zhang Wei said as soon as the call was connected.


    "I have something I want us to talk about. But that will be when I come back." Liu Huiling notified.


    "Ling, hope it''s not divorce? I am already settling my mess, please give me some time." Zhang Wei pleaded.


    "It''s not about divorce." Liu Huiling said as she ended the call.

 Chapter 425 - Heatstroke

    "It''s not about divorce." Liu Huiling said as she ended the call.


    The next morning, they traveled to another Island after breakfast and toured around.


    In the afternoon, the sun was up, so they decided to go to the beach.


    Chen Lihua didn''t have any bikini prepared because she didn''t feel okay with revealing her baby bump. So she wore a long sleeveless summer dress with a hat and sun shades.


    Chen Lihua lay on a beach chair with an umbrella above her head as she watched other people have fun.


    Not long after, Liu Huiling came to join her by laying on the other beach chair beside her.

    "Sister-in-law, are you tired already?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile on her face.


    Liu Huiling smiled as she replied, "Yes I''m tired already. I am in my first trimester, so it is advised not to do anything strenuous at this stage to avoid miscarriage."


    "What?! You are pregnant?." Chen Lihua asked the second part in a lower tone as she stared at her in shock.


    "Mmm." Liu Huiling hummed in response.


    "Wow! Congratulations! I had no idea about it. I thought you were sick." Chen Lihua said, having calmed down a lot.


    Liu Huiling chuckled softly without saying anything.


    They two watched Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei play volleyball at the beachside with others.


    Suddenly, there was a loud noise. And Chen Lihua was so frightened by it that she sat up in a hurry, and that caused her to wince in pain.


    Actually, the noise was caused by a hot air balloon that was taking off.


    Chen Lihua''s face scrunched up in pain as she had a hand on her baby bump and breathed heavily.


    Liu Huiling rushed to her side immediately. She squats by her side and held her hand as she asked worriedly.


    "Lihua, are you okay?."


    "I''m fine. I want to go back." Chen Lihua managed to say as she rubbed her abdomen to calm her baby down.


    Both mother and Child experienced shock at the same time.


    "Baby it''s alright." Chen Lihua said in a soft tone as she caressed her baby bump.


    "Just now, the sound was too loud. The baby must have experienced a huge shock. Can you get up?." Liu Huiling asked as she held her arm.


    "Let me try." Chen Lihua said as she shifts on the chair. It took some effort from her and support from Liu Huiling before she was able to get up.


    "Why is your body so hot?." Liu Huiling asked worriedly as she held onto her arm.


    "I have no idea. Sister Ling, my head is pounding, and I feel dizzy." Chen Lihua announced with her eyes shut.


    "Okay, sit and drink some water." Liu Huiling said as she helped her take a sit before handing a bottle of water to her.


    Chen Lihua felt weak and but managed to drink a little of the water.


    "I think you are experiencing heatstroke, plus the shock. We need to take you to the hospital for a checkup." Liu Huiling said worriedly.


    Not long after speaking, beads of sweat started to break out from Chen Lihua''s body.


    She was sweating considerably.


    "Oh no! Libya, we have to leave now." Liu Huiling said.


    Then she glanced in the direction Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei were playing volleyball, but she didn''t see any of them.


    "I can''t see Mei and Liwei, they must have gone into the water." Liu Huiling said to Chen Lihua.


    "We can''t wait for them, we have to hurry." She added as she gathered their important things (phones) in a bag before hanging them on her shoulder.


    She dialed a number on her phone. On the first ring, the person answered the call and she immediately relayed a set of instructions. She also revealed their location in the course of the call.


    "Lihua, let''s go. The bodyguards will be here to find us soon. As for Dongmei and Liwei, they will find us later."


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said as she rose from her seat with Liu Huiling''s support.


    After taken few steps, she asked someone who was lying on the beach chair close to them, to contact her when Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei came over.


    "When my brother and Sister get back, please, phone me so I can speak with them." Liu Huiling said to the couple.


    "Alright. Is she not feeling okay?." The lady asked.


    "Yeah, she is experiencing heatstroke. Alright, thank you, bye." Liu Huiling said.


    "Take care, bye." The couple said as they waved their hands.


    Earlier when they arrived at the beach, they made friends with the couple.


    After walking some distance, they were now at the reception area of their lodgings. Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling met a couple that was fooling around.


    They were being lovey-dovey with each other.


    Seeing this couple wasn''t a big deal, but what amazed them was they knew who the man was.


    Chen Lihua felt that face was familiar, but she couldn''t tell who he was because she hasn''t seen that face a lot.


    And since she was the first person to see that man, she didn''t say anything. She was more worried about her condition and not about some people she couldn''t recognize.


    But suddenly, Liu Huiling stopped walking as she had her gaze fixed on the couple.


    Because the woman had her back towards them, they couldn''t see her face. But the man was standing sideways, so Liu Huiling could find out the identity of the man.


    "Zhang Wei?." She muttered in surprise.


    "Hmmm? ????." Chen Lihua hummed in confusion as she followed the direction of her sight.


    "Do you know him?." She asked.


    "He is my husband." Liu Huiling said as different kinds of emotions attacked her.


    Wasn''t he the same man that told her on the phone last night that he needed time to settle his matters? What was he doing here with another woman?

 Chapter 426 - Confrontation

    Wasn''t he the same man that told her on the phone last night that he needed time to settle his matters? What was he doing here with another woman?


    Chen Lihua was shocked by the sudden discovery, that she forgot how uncomfortable she was.


    Just then, Zhang Wei and the woman beside him turned around to leave, but they were shocked to see Liu Huiling standing in front of them.


    To them, it felt like time stopped for a minute.


    "Ling? You...you are here?." Zhang Wei stammered as he stood in place. At this point, he was very confused and didn''t know what to do.


    Liu Huiling who was still supporting Chen Lihua glanced at them before her eyes widened in shock.


    The young woman with him had a visible baby bump. Obviously, she was pregnant. So she asked, with anger broadly written on her face.


    "Who is she?."


    "She?." Zhang Wei asked, not getting the point.


    Seeing that he didn''t want to answer her, she narrowed her eyes at him.


    "Less than 24 hours ago, you told me to give you time to settle your mess, but right now, you are here with a pregnant woman. Don''t even lie to me because I saw you two acting like a couple. Who is she?." She asked again, this time around, in a fierce tone.


    "Huiling stop embarrassing us, people are watching. You see this whole situation is not what you think, I can explain..." Zhang Wei said as he looked around.


    "I can''t believe you know how to be embarrassed, because the man whom I walked down the aisle with, is a shameless and disgusting person. Please explain to me, because my brain is beginning to interpret this situation to me. So tell me for the last time, who is she?." Liu Huiling asked as her eyeballs reddened.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/confrontation_51826984703023388 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua was even helpless at the situation. She didn''t want to join in the confrontation, she didn''t even have the strength for that as her energy was dissipating quickly.


    She has been standing at a place for quite a while, and she was sure that she would have fallen or fainted if Liu Huiling wasn''t holding unto her.


    But this situation was very serious, so she couldn''t even alert Liu Huiling.


    "She is my ex-girlfriend." Zhang Wei managed to say with his head lowered.


    But the girl who hid behind him at some point in the confrontation glanced at him in surprise, but she didn''t dare to say any contrary word, because she knew she was in a difficult situation.


    Liu Huiling scoffed, "So you do pregnant ex now? No, there are other young fishes in the sea, you probably won''t do that. I want to hear the truth, are you the father of her unborn child?."


    That was the question Zhang Wei was dreading to hear. He refused to answer this question even though he knew she would still find out the truth.


    Liu Huiling chuckled sadly as she said while pointing at him and the young woman behind him.


    "So you didn''t just cheat on me, you also got another woman pregnant in the process and you dared to bring her out to showcase your love? What were you thinking, that people wouldn''t recognize you as my husband? You have made me a laughing stock!." Liu Huiling said with a bitter smile on her face.


    "Ling? It''s not what you think, let me explain...." Zhang Wei said as he tried to approach her, but he stood frozen in his steps because of her next words.


    "If you dare to lay your filthy fingers on me, I will snap them within few seconds, try me..." Liu Huiling threatened with bitterness in her heart.


    Then, she turned to the woman who has been hiding behind him to ask...


    "Didn''t you for a second think that you were sleeping with a married man and ruining another woman''s home? I mean, how shameless can you be?."


    The young woman hid further.


    Liu Huiling continued, "Guess what, you are not the only woman he has. If he can cheat on his wife, not giving her that respect that she deserves, who do you think you are?. You don''t know what you got yourself into, you just ruined your life!."


    "Ah!." The young woman suddenly held her abdomen while pretending to be in pain.


    Liu Huiling and Chen Lihua just watched on as the man comforted the young woman.


    Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes, but she held them back because her tears were too precious to be wasted on a worthless thing.


    After comforting his girlfriend, he held her waist as he said to Liu Huiling, "Ling, even if you are angry, you shouldn''t take it out on the innocent girl, everything is my fault."


    Chen Lihua felt that she just heard the worst joke of her life.


    Like seriously, was this man mentally ill?


    He was just caught red-handed, and he still had the guts to defend his girlfriend, he wasn''t even worried about himself.


    Liu Huiling felt their heart being shattered into a million pieces.


    "I never knew you were this heartless. You don''t deserve to be given a second chance! For a moment, I wanted to give us a second chance because of our children, but it seems like I was wrong. You don''t deserve anything good from me. You will hear from my lawyer within five hours."


    Liu Huiling said to him before turning to the young woman who was now looking courageous because Zhang Wei defended her.


    "I am sure wherever your parents are, they would be causing the day you came into this world. You can''t ruin someone''s life and go scout-free, karma is coming for you."


    After saying her speech, Liu Huiling finally turned to look at Chen Lihua. "I''m sorry for the long wait, let''s go."


    Chen Lihua managed to smile as she gave her a gentle squeeze in the arm. She was was in so much discomfort that she couldn''t say a word.


    She just couldn''t wait to get to the hospital to check on her baby. Earlier, he received a fright, and now, she has sunburnt. She needed to make sure everything was alright.


    Since the confrontation has been ongoing, Zhang Wei didn''t notice Chen Lihua''s presence. It was now they turned to leave that he discovered that Liu Huiling has been holding onto another woman.

 Chapter 427 - Miscarriage

    Since the confrontation has been ongoing, Zhang Wei didn''t notice Chen Lihua''s presence. It was now they turned to leave that he discovered that Liu Huiling has been holding onto another woman.


    Just now, Zhang Wei''s pregnant girlfriend was already fuming mad after Liu Huiling spoke to her.


    She felt that she just caused her and her unborn child, so she sought revenge out of anger.


    Without the wait, she rushed towards Liu Huiling and yanked her backward, causing her to stumble.


    Liu Huiling didn''t care about herself, instead, she first checked on Chen Lihua to make sure she was okay.


    As for Chen Lihua, her hands immediately went to her baby bump instinctively, protecting her child in case she fell.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was okay, Liu Huiling turned to look at the young woman who was gazing at her with evil brimming in her eyes.


    "Do you know what would have happened if she fell to the ground? Your entire family will be exiled. Then if something happened to her baby, your entire family would be annihilated."


    Just now, Zhang Wei was so shocked that he rushed over and held his girlfriend back as he cautioned her.


    As if that wasn''t enough, the young woman pushed Liu Huiling with all her might.


    Liu Huiling discovered her move late because she already had her back turned towards them, so she couldn''t dodge.


    And because she knew she was going to fall and didn''t want Chen Lihua to fall with her because the situation would be dire, she quickly left Chen Lihua and fell to the floor.


    Chen Lihua discovered the situation late because as she stretched forth her arm, she caught an empty air.


    It was as if time stopped at that point.


    Chen Lihua eyes widened in shock with an outstretched arm.


    Zhang Wei was shocked by the situation as well. He didn''t see this coming.


    As for his girlfriend, she was quite satisfied with the situation.


    The only reason she dared to touch Liu Huiling was that she knew that she wouldn''t do anything to her because of her pregnancy.


    But within seconds, she no longer had a smile on her face, because as she was staring at Liu Huiling with a triumphant smile, she suddenly saw a pool of blood flow from her bottom, and she shrieked in fright.


    "OMG! Sister Ling, the baby!." Chen Lihua screamed as she rushed to her side.


    She too was in pain, but there was no time to care about that.


    Liu Huiling''s face turned ashen as she still laid on the floor. She was in so much pain that she didn''t dare to move. But hearing Chen Lihua''s words, she looked at herself as saw discovered the pull of blood that was beneath her, she didn''t know what to feel.


    "Help!." Chen Lihua screamed as she looked around for help.


    Hearing the commuting, people started to gather, even the receptionist came running towards them.


    It was now that Zhang Wei came back to his senses.


    Even though his girlfriend pushed his wife down, the fall would be very painful and nothing more. But for her to bleed from her bottom, it was unexpected.


    As if discovering something, his eyes widened in shock as he muttered under his breath, "She just had a miscarriage, that means she was pregnant. Could that be what she wanted us to talk about?."


    There was no time to waste, he quickly rushed to her side, abandoning his frightened girlfriend who was currently trying to escape.


    Just before he could touch her, Liu Huiling gave him a warning glare, before she managed to speak up with much difficulty.


    "Don''t touch me!. I''d rather die than seek for your help."


    The receptionist immediately made some calls, as some people came over and were trying to lift Liu Huiling.


    Just then, the bodyguards Liu Huiling contacted at the beach, arrived at the scene.


    QB came for this trip, so she rushed to Chen Lihua''s side to help her up when she saw her in the situation.


    Other bodyguards rushed over as well, and Chen Lihua instructed them as QB helped her up.


    "Quick, lift her, we need to get to the hospital now!."


    After saying this, she felt dizzy and stumbled. But she was quickly saved from falling because QB was holding unto her in a firm grip.


    "Ma''am, can you walk on your own?." QB asked worriedly as she led her out of the lodge and followed behind the other bodyguards.


    "I''m fine, but we have to get to the hospital immediately." Chen Lihua said as she breathed heavily.


    Suddenly, she turned around and saw that Zhang Wei''s girlfriend had already escaped so she said to her.


    "Make sure you get that woman and stop her from escaping. She needs to be dealt with!."


    QB knew the woman Chen Lihua was talking about, so she said in reply as she led her out "Yes Ma''am."


    As they came out of the building, Two helicopters ???? landed in the surrounding and picked them up.


    As for Zhang Wei, he just stood in one corner and watched things unfold before him.


    For a long while, he forgot who his wife was. He forgot the kind of family she came from and had the guts to treat her that way.


    Honestly, Liu Huiling was lenient with him. She would have reported him to her family, or even dealt with him personally, since she heard the connection to do so, but she didn''t do any of that.


    Just see how much she loved him!


    But it was to late to dwell on that, it was just too late...


    He slides to the floor and began to think of what happened earlier.


    He never had an idea that Liu Huiling was pregnant. Just see what his foolishness caused him, and now, he knew was in a big trouble, because the Liu family would not spare him.


    His wife would file for a divorce, his children would despise him when they found out that the wrongs he did to their mother.


    His parents would disown because they were against this kind of relationship. He would lose his job and the people around him.


    Right now, he has lost everything he ever had in life.


    He just allowed his girlfriend to bully his wife and he couldn''t stop her.


    Speaking of which, where did that b*tch run off to? He thought to himself as he stood to his feet and looked around.


    But he immediately escaped when he saw Liu Liwei and Liu Dongmei come into the building.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/miscarriage_51845422192317740 for visiting.


    Liu Liwei and Liu Dongmei were surprised to see a pool of blood on the floor, and a cleaner, wiping it off, so they asked the lady at the reception what transpired there.

 Chapter 428 - Longwei, on his way to the Maldives

    Liu Liwei and Liu Dongmei were surprised to see a pool of blood on the floor, and a cleaner, wiping it off, so they asked the lady at the reception what transpired there.


    The receptionist briefed them on the case. From the little deductions, they already knew that Liu Huiling and Chen Lihua were involved, so they began to panic.


    "Where did they go to?."


    "Some people in black who looked like bodyguards carried them away in two helicopters." The receptionist revealed.


    There was no time to change clothes as Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei hurried out.


    Thinking that Chen Lihua had a miscarriage, Liu Liwei was so tensed, because he knew Liu Longwei would kill him for not looking after his wife.


    As for Liu Dongmei, she knew that Liu Dongmei was pregnant as well, so she was worried about the two of them.


    She didn''t know which one had a miscarriage, so she could only pray and hope in her heart that the news was false.


    Somehow, they managed to get to the hospital Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling were admitted.


    When they arrived, they saw Liu Longwei''s bodyguards guiding the corridor. They looked tensed but frightening at the same time.


    They knew that they would be punished severely by their Boss. But for now, that was not their problem. They only hoped that the two women would be alright.


    Liu Dongmei rushed to their side as she asked, "Where is Lihua, where is my sister?."


    "Good day Ma''am. Both of them have been admitted."


    Liu Dongmei looked devastated as she pulled her hair with her hands.


    "How did you get to the hotel?." Liu Liwei asked.


    "Miss Huiling called us to come and pick them up because Ma''am wasn''t feeling well and needed to go to the hospital," K2 replied.


    "How come the two of them were admitted, what exactly happened to them?." Liu Dongmei asked, not understanding the situation.


    "When we got to the scene, Ma''am was kneeling beside Miss Huiling who was bleeding. Both were in severe pain, so we rushed them to the hospital. But according to Ma''am, a pregnant woman deliberately pushed Miss Huiling." K2 explained the situation to the best of his abilities.


    "Why would Sister Huiling bleed?." Liu Liwei asked in confusion as he turned to Liu Dongmei.


    "Sister Huiling is pregnant, and I just found out about it last night." Liu Dongmei replied in a worried tone.


    "F*CK!. Who is that b*tch that dared to hurt my sister?!." Liu Liwei cried out in an angry tone.


    "Have you heard from the doctor?." Liu Dongmei asked K2.


    "Yes. Miss Huiling is currently undergoing surgery to remove the dead fetus. She fainted when we arrived at the hospital."


    "What about Lihua, what''s her condition?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "She is under an intravenous drip. She was sedated because she refused to be admitted to the hospital and wanted to watch over Sister Huiling. But because she was under a risk of getting a miscarriage as well, the doctor had to sedate her to stabilize the fetus."


    Liu Dongmei felt like fainting. How could all these happen in less than twenty minutes?


    "Did you call home?." Liu Liwei asked.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/longwei-on-his-way-to-the-maldives_51846220250924589 for visiting.


    "Yes, I filled Boss in on the situation, so he is on his way here. But I don''t think he knows that Ma''am didn''t lose the baby, because he caught off after he heard that she was admitted to the hospital."


    Just then, The doctor came out from the operating room, and Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei gather around him.


    "Are you the patient''s family?." The doctor asked.


    "Yes, we are. Doctor how is our sister?." Liu Dongmei asked worriedly.


    "Relax, she would be fine, but we couldn''t save the fetus. She has been stressed mentally for a long time, and then she was pushed down forcefully, there was no way the fetus would have survived. Your sister is out of danger now, and the surgery would be concluded soon. Your sister is a strong-willed woman, and that helped a lot in the surgery. So she will be out in twenty to thirty minutes." The doctor replied with a positive smile on his face.


    "Thank you, doctor!." Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei chorused together


    "But I will like to see one of you in my office after the surgery, it''s very urgent." The doctor suddenly stopped smiling as he announced.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei glanced at each other in worry, before nodding their head in agreement.


    "I don''t know why Sister Huiling has to grow through these." Liu Liwei said as he went to sit on the bench.


    Liu Dongmei followed behind him before going to sit beside him on the bench.


    "Sister Ling is not in danger, I''m more worried about what the doctor wants to say. I just hope everything would be alright." Liu Dongmei said as she leaned on his shoulder.


    A few minutes later, QB came walking towards them. She bowed her head in greeting when she saw them.


    Liu Dongmei stood to her feet and held her arm when she came close to them.


    "How is Lihua?." She asked worriedly.


    "Ma''am is fine now, she is asleep. The doctor managed to stabilize the fetus." QB replied awkwardly.


    She was not used to her hand being grabbed by someone.


    Liu Dongmei noticed her discomfort and let her hands go.


    "How long do we have to wait before she wakes up?." Liu Liwei asked.


    "In fifteen minutes, she should be awake. The doctor said Ma''am is stubborn, so she would have to be put asleep after she has woken up and eaten something." QB conveyed.


    "Liwei go and get something to eat and drink. Be careful with the food." Liu Dongmei instructed.


    Liu Liwei stood up immediately and left after he has taken his phone and wallet from the bodyguard.


    K2 brought their bags along from the hotel.


    A few minutes later, he came back with a bodyguard behind him, their hands were filled with packages of food.


    "Notify us once the doctor comes out from the theater." Liu Dongmei instructed as she walked towards Chen Lihua''s wardroom with Liu Liwei, QB, and another bodyguard.


    When they entered Chen Lihua''s room, she was just waking up.

 Chapter 429 - The baby is safe

    When they entered Chen Lihua''s room, she was just waking up.


    "Doctor where is my sister-in-law? How is she?." Chen Lihua asked the doctor as she tried sitting up, but she winced in pain.


    "Don''t try to get up, lay back." The doctor instructed before going ahead to reply to her as she obediently laid back on the bed.


    "Your sister-in-law is safe. And your child is safe as well."


    "My child?." Chen Lihua asked as she caressed her abdomen.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/the-baby-is-safe_51859235629230727 for visiting.


    "Yes, your child is safe." The doctor confirmed.


    This was the scene Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei met when they came in.


    On seeing them, Chen Lihua tried to sit up again, but Liu Dongmei overhearing what the doctor said, immediately rushed to her side and stopped her.


    "Lihua lie back. How are you?." She asked as she held her palm and squeezed them gently.


    "I''m fine. How is Sister Huiling?." Chen Lihua asked worriedly.


    "She is out of danger, but she is still in surgery." Liu Dongmei replied.


    Liu Liwei walked to their side to ask as the bodyguards placed the food items on the table.


    "Sister-in-law, how are you? Dongmei and I are sorry for the troubles you had to go through."


    "There is no problem." Chen Lihua said in reply before turning to Liu Dongmei to ask with a little hope in her eyes.


    "Sister Mei, what of Sister Ling''s child, was the doctor able to save it?."


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei exchanged glances as Chen Lihua gazed between them.


    Liu Dongmei sighed before replying. "We lost the baby, the doctor couldn''t save it."


    Chen Lihua looked sad as her mind began to wander.


    "Sister Ling saved me too. I feel so bad that she had to lose her baby in the process." Chen Lihua said as her eyes brimmed with tears.


    "Lihua doesn''t cry, everything happened for a purpose. If sister Ling was here now, she wouldn''t want to see you cry." Liu Dongmei said as she consoled her.


    "Miss Chen?." The doctor said as she suddenly spoke up.


    "We managed to stabilize the fetus, please be careful of your emotions, is not good for the baby. You don''t want to aggravate the situation do you?."


    Chen Lihua waved her head in a negative affirmation.


    "Good. I will be back shortly." The doctor said and left the room to them.


    "Lihua don''t cry okay? It''s not good for the baby. The child has experienced series of shocks today, it needs to rest." Liu Dongmei advised.


    "Mmmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply as she wiped her tears with the back of her hand.


    "Sister-in-law, did you see the woman that attacked Sister Ling? Do you know her identity?." Liu Liwei asked because this information was vital.


    "That woman?! Of course, I saw her. Even though I have facial recognition troubles, I will never forget that evil woman!." Chen Lihua said as she started to breathe heavily.


    Liu Dongmei immediately stopped her from talking. "Lihua it''s alright. Don''t say anything anymore. You have to watch your health. It wouldn''t be good for your blood pressure to be high at this current state."


    "I know. I''m just so angry. If I had a knife, I would have stabbed that woman to death." Chen Lihua said as she raged on.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei exchanged glances and immediately made up their mind not to continue with the questions, seeing how unstable Chen Lihua was.


    Just then, the doctor came in and so Chen Lihua''s chest heaving up and down rapidly, so she immediately went to check on her.


    "Miss Chen, please try to control your emotions right now, it''s not good for you and the baby." The doctor instructed as she glanced at the three of them with a warning in her eyes.


    "Miss Chen, it''s time for you to eat something." The doctor reminded.


    QB who has been standing at a corner, went on to open the packages.


    "I''m not hungry." Chen Lihua said stubbornly.


    "Miss Chen, your baby is hungry." The doctor said as she gave her a strict glance.


    Remembering her child, and the troubles he had to go through today, Chen Lihua decided to eat something.


    But because she didn''t have much appetite, she couldn''t eat up to half of the food no matter how she was forced.


    The doctor asked them to leave her as a nurse replaced the empty Drip with a new one.


    After replacing the Drip, the nurse injected another drug into the Drip with a needle.


    "That''s the sleeping drug, it will help all of us a great deal." The doctor explained before walking out with the nurse.


    "When do I get to see Sister Ling?." Chen Lihua asked after the doctor left.


    "Soon. But first of all, you need plenty of rest." Liu Dongmei reminded in a kind tone.


    "Brother Liwei, would you ever cheat on your partner?." Chen Lihua asked out of the blue.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei were surprised by the question.


    Like how was a cheating partner connected to the current situation on the ground?


    But Liu Longwei still replied to her. "I will never cheat on my partner even if I don''t love her anymore. As long as we are together, I will never do that."


    "Good! Don''t do that or you will be my enemy." Chen Lihua said in a serious tone.


    Seeing that serious facial expression on her face, they began to wonder where all of this was coming from.


    But in no time, she answered their question.


    "If Sister Ling''s husband didn''t cheat on her and bring his pregnant girlfriend over, all these would never have happened." Chen Lihua revealed as she gazed at the window.


    This was summer, the season that was most difficult for Chen Lihua to come because of the heat and the sun.


    Luckily, the room wasn''t brightly lit because of her sensitive eyes.


    "Brother Zhang Wei cheated on sister?!." Liu Dongmei asked, shocked by the news.


    "Brother-in-law Zhang Wei got another woman pregnant?!." Liu Liwei asked angrily.

 Chapter 430 - His arrival

    "Brother Zhang Wei cheated on sister?!." Liu Dongmei asked, shocked by the news.


    "Brother-in-law Zhang Wei got another woman pregnant?!." Liu Liwei asked angrily.


    Chen Lihua saw their confused state and went on to tell them everything she knew and everything that transpired back at the hotel.


    She told everything without mincing words.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei were outraged, but they just had to control their emotions because of Chen Lihua, as anything they do would also influence her own emotions.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/his-arrival_51861676244386379 for visiting.


    After a while, Chen Lihua was having trouble fighting the sleep from her eyes, but Liu Dongmei told her to sleep since it was beneficial for the baby.


    After Chen Lihua slept, K2 came in to inform them that the surgery was over. So they rushed out immediately.


    Liu Liwei and Liu Dongmei were in time to see Liu Huiling being pulled to a new room.


    "She is safe now, but needs a lot of rest and also needs to stay away from mental stress. If her mental health is well taken care of, she wouldn''t have trouble with the healing process." The doctor said to them.


    As the doctor walked away, Liu Dongmei followed after him as Liu Liwei went into Liu Huiling''s hospital room to check on her.


    Ten minutes later, Liu Dongmei came out from the doctor''s office, downcasted. Then she went into the room Liu Huiling was resting, to look for her Liu Liwei.


    "Did the doctor say when she would wake?. Liu Liwei asked.


    "He said in about two to three hours when the anesthesia wears up." Liu Dongmei replied as she stood rooted in her spot with mixed emotions.


    "What else did the doctor say? Does Sister Ling have any other issue?." Liu Liwei asked on seeing her downcasted look.


    "Come outside." Liu Dongmei said before walking out of the room.


    She didn''t want to reveal what the doctor said in the room, because she was afraid Liu Huiling would hear her.


    In the hallway, Liu Dongmei said, "The doctor said Sister Huiling would find it difficult to take in again."


    "Is it that serious?." Liu Liwei asked with a shocked-filled face.


    "Yes, there were damages to her w.o.m.b. The doctor showed the scan to me." Liu Dongmei said as she heaved a sigh.


    Liu Liwei ran his hands through his hair. He was very confused right now.


    "I never knew Zhang Wei was such a bastard! How dare he treat sister this way?!."


    "I don''t know who to blame because I''m confused right now. It seems like Zhang Wei has been cheating on Huiling for a long time, but she refused to say anything and continued to protect him. Looks like she spoilt him to the extent that he lost his conscience." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Can you blame sister? She was probably trying to make her marriage, but it didn''t work out in the end." Liu Liwei added.


    Liu Dongmei glanced at him as she said, "No matter what, I can not tolerate that immoral act. I can''t live that caliber of human, because I may end up killing him in his sleep."


    "But Zhang Wei has a lot of guts. He dared to treat Sister this was for several months. He not only cheated on Sister but got another woman pregnant, I mean, what was his plan?." Liu Liwei asked in confusion.


    "Sister gave him the right, but he should get ready to pay for his sins. We will never allow him to go scot-free. And that girlfriend of his, she should be prepared to receive the same degree of pain she inflicted on Sister because I will make sure of that." Liu Dongmei swore.


    Just as Liu Liwei was about to speak up, he heard hurried footsteps, so he and Liu Dongmei and the rest of the bodyguards that were in the hallway, all glanced towards the direction they heard the footsteps from.


    Lo and behold, they say Liu Longwei matching in with his entourage of bodyguards.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei became scared as they swallowed hard and watched Liu Longwei approach them with a tense look.


    "Brother?." They called out in unison.


    Liu Longwei ignored their greetings and directly asked, "Where is my wife."


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei led the way immediately without uttering a word.


    Liu Longwei was surprised to see Chen Lihua fast asleep with the bulging abdomen.


    He thought she had a miscarriage, what happened?


    Even though his heart was at rest now, he still needed to know what happened, and how she landed in the hospital.


    "Your wife experienced heatstroke, and a little symptom of miscarriage. But the fetus has been stabilized. Still, your wife and unborn child need plenty of rest. Your wife doesn''t need anything that would stress her mentally, and that would be best for her and the child." The doctor advised.


    After the doctor left, the doctor left, Liu Longwei called Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei over and demanded an explanation from them.


    "We don''t know about the heatstroke because we were playing volleyball and didn''t know when Sister Huiling left with Sister-in-law." Liu Liwei said and Liu Dongmei went ahead to reveal everything Chen Lihua had told them.


    "Building was pregnant?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise, and they both nodded in response.


    "How is she now?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "She is safe. She left the operation room a few minutes before you arrived." Liu Dongmei explained.


    Liu Longwei took a good look at them and found their attire to be funny, but he was in no mood to entertain jokes.


    "Liwei, get K2 for me. Zhang Wei and his girlfriend have to be detained, for now, I will deal with them when I have the time."


    When K2 came in, he revealed that they had Zhang Wei''s girlfriend in custody, because Chen Lihua ordered it.


    Liu Longwei glanced at his sleeping wife, before looking back at K2.


    "Capture Zhang Wei as well, and have both of them detained toll further instructions. As for all of you, get ready to receive punishments after we go back home." Liu Longwei said and looked away.


    "Yes Sir!." K2 responded before leaving.

 Chapter 431 - Ready to Divorce

    "Capture Zhang Wei as well, and have both of them detained toll further instructions. As for all of you, get ready to receive punishments after we go back home." Liu Longwei said and looked away.


    "Yes Sir!." K2 responded before leaving.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei felt like they were fishes being caught in the fisherman''s net.


    They very much wanted to escape from here.


    "Brother, Sister Ling should be awake any moment from now, we will go and check up on her."


    Liu Longwei knew what was in their mind, but this was not the time to blame anyone, so he let them off the hook.


    "I''m surprised brother let us off the hook so easily." Liu Liwei said.


    "We are quite lucky!." Liu Dongmei said as they walked into Liu Huiling''s room.


    Liu Longwei spent about an hour with Chen Lihua, and we he saw that she wasn''t waking up any time soon, he requested the doctor''s presence.


    "Your wife is very stubborn, so we had no choice but to sedate her so she can rest. After much difficulty, we managed to stabilize the fetus, or it would have been difficult to carry through with the pregnancy. But your wife doesn''t listen, she worries a lot, and it''s not good for her and the unborn child."


    Liu Longwei glanced at the doctor who kept saying that his wife was stubborn.


    That look made the doctor soften her tone. "Miss Chen would be awake in one or two hours. Please, don''t stress her." The doctor reminded before leaving them alone.


    Liu Hua placed a chair before the bed and sat there as he gazed at his wife. Next, he picked her hand and placed it in his.


    "You must have gone through a lot today. Don''t worry, you will be fine when you wake up." Liu Longwei promised as he brought her palm to his lips and kissed it before placing it back to her sides.


    Liu Longwei went ahead to converse with the baby as well.


    As if hearing his father''s voice, the fetus opened his eyes slowly before giving a punch.


    Liu Longwei smiled from the side as he watched the movie.


    "Sshhh, Mum is sleeping." Liu Longwei spoke in a low tone, then the baby stopped moving and became quiet.


    Back in Liu Huiling''s room, Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei stayed with her till she woke up and an hour later.


    The first thing she did after she woke up was to ask about Chen Lihua.


    After she was told of her situation, she calmed down a lot.


    Liu Dongmei went ahead to pot some water from the flask for her as Liu Liwei went out to get the doctor.


    The doctor checked up on her and said she was doing okay.


    "Miss Liu, you just had serious surgery, so the wound will take a while to heal. But you just need to be careful about your health from now on if you want to conceive again."


    When the doctor left, Liu Huiling glanced at Liu Dongmei, seeking explanations.


    Then Liu Dongmei went ahead to explain her situation.


    "I knew that baby wouldn''t survive this, so I already made up my mind about it when I saw the pool of blood. But about finding it difficult to conceive again, I must that I didn''t see that coming. But it''s not a problem at all, it''s not like I was planning to have another child. This is for the best."


    "Huiling, why are you acting strong? If you want to cry, go ahead and cry your heart out, we are here for you." Liu Dongmei said to her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/ready-to-divorce_51862508645963490 for visiting.


    She was worried about the ease she accepted her fate just like that without making a fuss.


    "Cry? There is nothing worth crying about at the moment. My tears have finished from my tear glands. I have cried enough this past several months." Liu Huiling said with a bitter smile on her face.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Liwei exchanged glances and didn''t say anything to her.


    "Brother arrived almost two hours ago, just as you came out from the theater. But he is still with Sister-in-law." Liu Liwei announced to her.


    "It''s good that he is here, at least, I can rest assured of some certain matters." Liu Huiling said as she sighed in relief.


    As Liu Liwei left to notify Liu Longwei about Liu Huiling, Liu Huiling requested for phone, and it was given to her.


    She dialed her lawyer''s number without wasting time.


    "Start preparing the divorce papers, and they should be ready in less than 24 hours." She instructed and ended the call after receiving a positive response.


    "You finally made the right choice after going through hell. Zhang Wei doesn''t deserve any more chances, and he is not worth any more of your love." Liu Dongmei said to her, solidly behind her request for a divorce.


    When Liu Liwei came to inform Liu Longwei about Liu Huiling, he said, "I will be there shortly."


    After Liu Liwei left, Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua was still asleep, "The doctor said you are stubborn, is it true? Well, I think she is right."


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he continued. "Hold on for a minute, let me check on Huiling, I''ll be right back."


    He said as he kissed her fingers before standing to his feet and living the room, but not after he called QB in, to watch over her.


    "Brother?." Huiling called out as soon as Liu Longwei stepped into the room.


    Liu Longwei nodded in acknowledgment with his hands in his trouser pocket.


    "I heard what happened, how are you now?." He asked as he came to stand before her.


    "I''m better now." Liu Huiling replied as Liu Liwei offered him a seat.


    Sitting close to her bedside, Liu Longwei began to ask her questions about her decision on her husband and girlfriend, then she revealed that she would file for a divorce immediately after the divorce papers were ready.


    After talking about her matters, Liu Longwei asked further to know exactly what happened to his wife at the beach.


    Liu Huiling told him everything she knew.


    After discussing for a while, Liu Huiling was served some food, and she ate a satisfactory quantity.


    "Brother would you like to have some?." Liu Dongmei asked from the side.


    "I will eat when my wife wakes up." Liu Longwei replied before going back to Chen Lihua''s room.


    When Chen Lihua woke up, she felt a warm hand holding unto her, so she turned to glance at the hand, only to see a familiar face.


    Thinking she was dreaming, she rubbed her eyes with her other hand to clean her eyes.

 Chapter 432 - Bathroom help

    When Chen Lihua woke up, she felt a warm hand holding unto her, so she turned to glance at the hand, only to see a familiar face.


    Thinking she was dreaming, she rubbed her eyes with her other hand to clean her eyes, but she still saw the same familiar silhouette.


    "You are awake?." Liu Longwei asked as a smile appeared on his face.


    "Mmmm. When did you come?." Chen Lihua asked as she tried to sit up, but she was too tired to do so, so Liu Longwei helped her up.


    "I came a few hours ago. How are you?." He asked as he gazed into her eyes.


    "Fine." Chen Lihua replied softly as she returned the gaze.


    Liu Longwei took his seat as he held her hand and apologized.


    "I''m sorry that you had to go through that fright without me by your side."


    "Why are you blaming yourself? This has nothing to do with you. You were back home in China, and I was here in the Maldives. What could you have done?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I should have come with you instead of leaving you alone." Liu Longwei said as he kissed the back of her hands.


    "Don''t say that, I didn''t come here alone, your siblings cane with me, and they took care of me these past few days. Sister Ling saved me even in her last moment of struggle, or something dangerous would have happened." Chen Lihua sighed and heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Okay, I''m glad she saved you." Liu Longwei responded.


    "I didn''t know I was this fragile." Chen Lihua commented as she was lost in thought.


    "I don''t think you are that fragile." Liu Longwei replied as they gazed at each other before he continued as he fiddled with her hand.


    "If you were that fragile, you would have hugged me and cried on my shoulders, but you didn''t do any of that. Instead, you remained calm like you can handle the situation."


    Chen Lihua was surprised by his response. ''She didn''t even give him a hug after not seeing him for a few days?.''


    "I''m sorry about that. My mind was occupied with so many things. But I missed you, and I''m happy you left the load of work you have to handle at the company to come here for me, thank you." Chen Lihua said, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.


    "There is no need to thank me, you are my wife, and I will do anything for you." Liu Longwei promised.


    His words finally touched Chen Lihua, so she gazed at him as a slight smile appeared on her face.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/bathroom-help_51863384013992286 for visiting.


    Next, she sighed as she said, "What I meant by being fragile is because of what happened today. I''ve been eating healthy, going for my antenatal classes, and the exercises, especially the Yoga exercises. I have never missed it for a day. I thought will all these, I was strong enough. But a little wind blew, and that was all that was required for me to be in this state. Then I was thinking, what if something greater had...."


    "Sshhh..." Liu Longwei shushed her with his finger on her lips, cutting off her words.


    "Don''t say any negative word, the baby is listening. You should stay positive and strong. The baby can recognize your feelings and emotions. Therefore, before you do anything, remember our baby is paying attention." Liu Longwei reminded.


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh as Liu Longwei took his finger off her lips.


    "Can I see Sister Ling now?." Chen Lihua requested."


    "No. The doctor said you should stay in bed and avoid moving about. I have contacted your doctor back home, she will be waiting in the house and ready to receive you." Liu Longwei said.


    "What if I have to use the bathroom?." Chen Lihua asked with a scrunched-up look.


    "That is acceptable. Come, I will escort you." Liu Longwei said standing to his feet as he held her hands, but Chen Lihua took her hand forcefully from his grip.


    "I don''t want your bathroom help." She said as she looked away.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he watched her childish act. Then he asked, "Should I get Dongmei, or the nurse to assist you?."


    Chen Lihua quickly turned to glance at him as she began to contemplate some matters in her head.


    Finally, she said, "Help me out."


    Liu Longwei smiled as he gently helped her off the bed.


    He held her waist with one hand and used the other to push the Drip stand in front, as he led her into the bathroom in the room.


    A few minutes later, they came back into the room, and Liu Longwei helped her up the bed.


    Just then, Liu Dongmei knocked before opening the door and peeping in. Seeing that Chen Lihua was awake, she smiled and walked in with food in her hand.


    "Lihua, how do you feel?." Liu Dongmei asked as she served the food to them.


    "I feel better now. How is Sister Ling?." She asked.


    "She is fine. She just went back to sleep. Have something to eat first." Liu Dongmei said after serving the food.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at her before pointing out.


    "Sister Mei, you look weird in that beach attire, you''ve been wearing it for hours now."


    "That''s not a problem, I''m fine with it." Liu Dongmei said with a smile.


    Liu Longwei glanced over as well as he instructed, "You and Liwei should go back to the hotel to have a change of clothing. Bring some toiletries for Lihua and Huiling. We are leaving tomorrow morning, so pack all your belongings and have them readied."


    "Brother, don''t you it''s too early to leave? Libya and Huiling still need to stay in the hospital for a few days." Liu Dongmei said worriedly.


    "I''m not satisfied with the treatment here. We are transferring them to SUH back home, so I will handle the discharge procedures here. Go, leave QB to stay with Huiling while you leave with Liwei."

 Chapter 433 - Cripple him

    The next morning after Liu Longwei was done handling their discharge procedures, they set off back to China.


    Once they got back home, Liu Huiling was admitted to SUH, while Chen Lihua was on bed rest, and being looked after by her doctor.


    She was not allowed to move around except when she wanted to use the bathroom.


    She has been pestering Liu Longwei about visiting Chen Lihua at the hospital, but her idea was rejected.


    Even her doctor was not in her support.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu came to the house to visit her with the nutritious soup they cooked for her.


    Chen Lihua kept pestering Liu Longwei, she had to tell him lies just to visit Liu Huiling.


    "Darling, the hospital is equipped with better facilities than here, send me to the hospital."


    "Is that so? Then I will equip the house with advanced hospital facilities so you don''t have to go to the hospital." Liu Longwei said.


    Seeing that her lies were in vain, she decided to soften her stance and say the truth.


    "Darling, I wasn''t to see Sister Ling, I am very much worried about her, and I haven''t seen her for almost two days. I want to know how she is doing, I want to see her."


    "You will get to see her when you recover. The doctor advised that you shouldn''t move around, please adhere to her instructions for the benefit of you and the baby." Liu Longwei said to her.


    In Liu Huiling''s VIP room at SUH, her mother-in-law came to visit her.


    "I heard about what happened between you and Zhang Wei, and I must apologize for my son''s behavior and everything you had to go through. My son''s act is my fault, I didn''t train him well." Mrs. Zhang said as she gazed at Liu Huiling who was currently sitting up on the bed.


    "Mother, you don''t..." Liu Huiling managed to say before she was cut off.


    "Don''t worry, I am not here to beg you to forgive my son and get back together with him. I will never do that. You have suffered enough. I am only here so you can forgive me for not having the insight that something was wrong."


    Mrs. Zhang sighed and continued.


    "I ask that you forgive me, and don''t stop me from seeing my grandchildren." Mrs. Zhang pleaded.


    "Mother, you didn''t do anything wrong to me, so there is no need to apologize. As for my relationship with Zhang Wei, it''s not your fault because it was my choice to keep everything hidden from everybody. And, I will not stop you from seeing your grandchildren, because you were kind to me, and I''ve always had your support." Liu Huiling said to her in a soft stance.


    "Thank you!. Please allow me to drop by every day to see you before you are discharged."


    "My doors will always be open to you." Liu Huiling said to her in a smile.


    That evening, Liu Huiling''s lawyer called her to notify her that the divorce papers were ready.


    "Thank you! Please bring it over to the hospital, someone needs to sign it ASAP!." She instructed.


    After speaking with her lawyer, she phoned Zhang Wei.


    Zhang Wei didn''t wait for the phone to ring out loud before he answered the call. He has been waiting to hear from her, desperately.


    "Come over to SUH, someone will be at the underground parking lot to bring you over." Liu Huiling said immediately the call was answered, and she ended the call after saying her part.


    Zhang Wei was satisfied that he heard her voice after a while now.


    Liu Longwei allowed them (Zhang Wei and his girlfriend) to bail themselves just before he went back to China.


    Immediately after he was released, Zhang Wei came back to China with his pregnant girlfriend. But he dumped her somewhere because she was currently not important to him.


    Receiving Liu Huiling''s call made him relieved, but he was scared of her demand, for the kind of had an idea of what she wanted to see him for.


    He was scared, but he still had to go. If not, he may be dragged to the hospital like an animal.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/cripple-him_51871671707040998 for visiting.


    Well, it''s now that he was seeing the true powers of the Liu.


    There was nothing much to dwell on, so Zhang Wei went to the hospital to see her.


    As Liu Huiling said, someone (one of the bodyguards) was there to take him to her.


    The bodyguard stood there with a serious expression on his face. Then he sized Zhang Wei before looking away and walking ahead.


    Even the bodyguards that noticed his existence before no longer cared about him.


    When he got to Liu Huiling''s room, She passed the divorce papers and a pen for him to sign them, without sparing him much of a glance.


    Zhang Wei took the divorce papers and the pen from her as he glanced at her, but she wasn''t even looking at him.


    "Sign them quickly!." She commanded.


    Zhang Wei sighed as he picked up the pen and began to sign them.


    Just then, Liu Longwei and Liu Dongmei walked into the room.


    "What is he doing here?!." Liu Dongmei asked furiously as she appeared before Zhang Wei, ready to fight him.


    "He is here to sign the divorce papers." Liu Huiling replied to her, then she called out to Liu Longwei...


    "Brother, you are here?."


    "Mmmm. I came by to see how you are doing and if you need anything. By the way, Lihua extends her greetings to you, she has been pestering to see you. But she can''t get out of bed yet." Liu Longwei said as he walked in and took a seat, not sparing the scared Zhang Wei a glance.


    "Oh! I missed her. But soon, I will be discharged from this place and then I will come over to see her." Liu Huiling promised.


    Right then, Zhang Wei finished signing the doc.u.ments and passed them to Liu Huiling. Then he called out to her as he stretched his hand to hold her, but he received a tight slap on his face.


    "Are you crazy?!." Liu Huiling asked furiously. If eyes could kill, she would have killed him a long time ago!."


    "I have never laid my hands on you even when I found out your cheating habits, but you deserve this one because I no longer think of giving our relationship a second chance. After our divorce is settled, don''t you ever come close to my children. I know you wouldn''t dare that with me unless you want to die at the spot."


    "Brother if he nears this hospital again, it doesn''t matter if he came to see me or not, cripple him!."

 Chapter 434 - Grabbing his little brother

    "I have never laid my hands on you even when I found out your cheating habits, but you deserve this one because I no longer think of giving our relationship a second chance. After our divorce is settled, don''t you ever come close to my children. I know you wouldn''t dare that with me unless you want to die at the spot."


    "Brother if he nears this hospital again, it doesn''t matter if he came to see me or not, cripple him!."


    "Zhang Wei, you have a lot of gut. Even in our presence, you still didn''t mind acting foolishly." Liu Dongmei said with disgust.


    "You just doubled your punishment." Liu Longwei said as he stood to his feet and walked out.


    Outside the room, he said to one of the bodyguards that were standing guard outside.


    "Go in and bring that man out. You are free to not handle him gently."


    After leaving these instructions behind, he walked away.


    In no time, Zhang Wei was forcefully pulled out of the room.


    "If you continue to make things difficult, I will treat you the way I want as I have been given the authority to do so."


    This word from the bodyguard made Zhang Wei behave himself. He didn''t struggle or shout Liu Huiling''s name anymore.


    "What a shameless man! Sister, what is going to do this his girlfriend for causing you to lose your child?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "She will be banished from Country C along with her family, and will not be allowed to have any connection with China." Liu Huiling declared.


    "That''s good, but what about Zhang Wei, surely you are not planning to be merciful by leaving him with only a divorce are you?." Liu Dongmei inquired.


    "I can not let him go for all the pain he caused me. He will have to start life from the beginning. I want him to always remember that his predicament was as a result of the payback for treating me like a worthless human." Liu Huiling said.


    "That''s okay." Liu Dongmei said as she passed a glass of water to her.


    As for Liu Longwei, he went straight to find Chen Lihua''s doctor as he had something to discuss with her.


    After talking about the delivery room preparation, the doctor began to instruct him about Chen Lihua''s health.


    "Don''t allow her to receive any shocking news or event. Let her take plenty of rest each day and eat healthily."


    "The fetus was startled by a great extent, try to make the mother happy, and keep her from worry, the baby will feel the love and relax."


    "Your wife she takes antenatal leave now and starts to prepare to welcome the baby."


    "When last did you two make love? I think it''s been long. Have s.e.x with her often, it will also help to induce labor." The doctor advised.


    When Liu Longwei got home that day, he relayed the doctor''s instructions to her, except for the last one which talked about their s*x life.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/grabbing-his-little-brother_51905165455847328 for visiting.


    Who knows his reason for that...


    But the following night, Chen Lihua cane into his bedroom in the middle of the night with a pillow in hand.


    "You can''t sleep?." Liu Longwei asked as he turned on the lights ????.


    "Mmm," Chen Lihua hummed in reply as she climbed up his bed.


    "I want to sleep with you." She added as she laid beside him.


    Liu Longwei became confused and didn''t know what she meant by ''she wanted to sleep with him'', but he refused to read meaning into it.


    He turned off the lights, leaving a faint light from the headlamp on. Then, he laid next to her and put a hand on her waist as he closed his eyes.


    Five minutes later, Liu Longwei could feet a hand hovering over his upper body, so his eyes immediately shut open as he couldn''t ignore that touch, it was quite sensitive.


    The couple gazed into each other''s eyes without saying anything.


    Chen Lihua put her hand inside his shirt and began to caress his n.a.k.e.d upper body without breaking the gaze.


    "Do you want me to rock you to sleep?." Liu Longwei asked after a while.


    "No, I want to touch you. Allow me to touch you since you don''t want to touch me. I have a right over your body." Chen Lihua declared.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know if to cry or laugh. What is this she was saying?


    "Okay, go ahead and continue touching my body." Liu Longwei said and closed his eyes.


    Chen Lihua didn''t believe that he wouldn''t react to her touch, so she continued with her move.


    From his chest, her hands moved down to his abdomen, and then teased the area (waist) his trouser band relaxed.


    Still not getting any response from him, she stretched forth her hand and was about reaching for his little brother when Liu Longwei caught her hand as if he sensed her next action.


    "What are you doing?." He asked as he gazed at her.


    "Touching what''s mine." Chen Lihua replied as she struggled to get her and released, but it was caught in a firm grasp.


    "What do you want from me?." Liu Longwei asked, changing his question.


    "Do not act like you are ignorant. You know what I want, so give it to me." Chen Lihua demanded.


    "How will I know what you want if you don''t tell me?." Liu Longwei asked, feigning ignorance.


    "Fine! You don''t need to have an idea. Just allow me to have my right over your body." Chen Lihua requested, refusing to answer his question.


    Liu Longwei gazed at her stubborn facial expression for a second before releasing her hand. Then he had his back towards her as he closed his eyes.


    "You think turning away can stop me? Heh. Heh, you are wrong!." Chen Lihua muttered under her breath.


    Liu Longwei could sense something wrong in the atmosphere, but he couldn''t pinpoint what exactly was wrong.


    But before he could figure things out, Chen Lihua had already stretched her hands towards him and grabbed his little brother through his clothing.


    What a bold move!

 Chapter 435 - After waking him, you want to sleep?

    [WARNING: This chapter is rated 18+ ????. Parents and guardians, please be guided]


    But before he could figure things out, Chen Lihua had already stretched her hands towards him and grabbed his little brother through his clothing.


    What a bold move!


    "You... You let go!." Liu Longwei said as he grabbed her hand.


    "It''s very obvious that you want me, why are you resisting me?." Chen Lihua asked with her hand still on his little brother as she felt it harden under her touch.


    At this point, the strong Liu Longwei didn''t know what to do. His wife is now bold enough to grab him, I mean did she think this through?


    "It''s fine if you want me, but it''s not okay if you are resisting me. Look at me, I''m here. Why are you denying me of my right? Since we found out about my pregnancy, we have only had s.e.x once. How can you do this to me?." Chen Lihua questioned in a bitter tone.


    Liu Longwei slowly let go of her hand and allowed her to hold unto him without making a sound.


    "Do you want me to be frustrated?." Chen Lihua asked in a low voice as she made a move to turn away, But Liu Longwei stopped her by grabbing her hand and pressing it unto his member.


    Then, he spoke up slowly. "Wife, I''m sorry for not giving you what you want, I''m sorry for denying you of your rights. The last time we had s.e.x, you were uncomfortable, so I didn''t want to hurt you or the baby."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/after-waking-him-you-want-to-sleep_51906004601852606 for visiting.


    "But I only complained that second, how come you took it to heart for such a long time." Chen Lihua asked, surprised by his reason for not touching her.


    "Your wellbeing matters to me, and I hate to hurt you or see you in pain." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Darling don''t take decisions like this without consulting me. I was here thinking you didn''t like my body anymore, and was uncomfortable with making love to me, but who knew you had a different thought from me." Chen Lihua said.


    Liu Longwei quickly turned to stare at her. "Sweetheart, I will never think you that way. I''m sorry for making you not feel loved. But the truth is that I love you to the extent that I can not live without you."


    "You do love my body?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed into his eyes.


    "Yes. Have you seen any pregnant woman that still looks beautiful and s.e.xy with a baby bump? Of course, you are the only one." Liu Longwei chuckled as he leaned in to kiss her lips.


    "How many of them have you seen?." Chen Lihua teased as she kissed him back.


    "One, and it''s you." Liu Longwei announced as he kissed her deeply and moved her hand to his member.


    Chen Lihua squeezed it gently as they exchanged kisses, and the thing grew in size as it hardened.


    A gasp escaped from Liu Longwei''s lips as his wife fondled him.


    "When you are done, it''s my turn." He said to her as he breathed heavily.


    A smile appeared on Chen Lihua''s face as she asked, "Do you like it?."


    "Yeah. Who thought you this?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise as he melted under her touch.


    "I have no idea. I''m just doing what is in my mind. I have been wanting to try this with you for a while now, and I''m glad I have an opportunity now." Chen Lihua said as she stopped moving her hand.


    "Why did you stop?." Liu Longwei asked in an unsatisfied tone, then suddenly, Chen Lihua slipped her hand into his trousers, and touched his member directly.


    Liu Longwei sucked in a considerable amount of air, as he felt so good when she touched him directly.


    "I didn''t know you were this big until our first s.e.x. I was so scared when I saw it, big and strong as it stood at attention." Chen Lihua whispered to him softly as she continued to touch him down there.


    "You were scared of this little thing and not the main guy?." Liu Longwei asked in a low husky voice as he breathed heavily.


    "Yes. It was my first time seeing that weird thing. If I was given an opportunity, I would have run away." Chen Lihua revealed.


    Liu Longwei placed a palm on her face as he caressed it while gazing into her eyes.


    "It''s good that I stopped you from running away. Did you enjoy our first s.e.x?." He asked suddenly. He has never asked her that king of the question before.


    "Yes." Chen Lihua replied shyly as she went on to say... "It was my first s.e.x, and first time having that kind of feeling. I felt like I was at the point of no return. I have never tasted anything so fascinating like it before. Although I felt a little pain when you penetrated me, I was alright after that."


    At this point, Chen Lihua increased her pace and was now faster.


    "Why are you so big?." she asked.


    "I don''t know. Sweetheart, stop with the questions, you are distracting me, and it would be wasted efforts if I lose concentration." Liu Longwei reminded.


    "I didn''t plan on making you c.u.m." Chen Lihua said as she laughed mischievously. Next, she took her hand off him.


    "You... You... That''s so unfair." Liu Longwei said in a frustrated tone.


    An unsatisfied man is an unhappy man.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly as she turned her back towards him.


    "What are you trying to do?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    "Sleep." Chen Lihua replied as she closed her eyes.


    "Seriously? After waking him up you want to sleep? Who thought you that?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua barely managed to hold in her laughter as she felt him get off the bed.


    She didn''t know what he was doing, but she knew he was standing at a place. Thinking he was touching himself and maybe trying to jerk off, she dares to turn around.


    The next moment, just when she was wondering why he was saying anything, he hopped on the bed as he reached for her shoulder and turned her over.


    When Chen Lihua turned over, she was surprised to see him n.a.k.e.d, so she asked. "What are you n.a.k.e.d, what happened to your clothes?."


    "I don''t know. I will find them after he calms down." Liu Longwei said while pointing at his erection.


    "So how do plan to calm it down?." Chen Lihua asked feigning ignorance.


    "You will see in a minute." Liu Longwei replied before sitting up and stretching his hand right inside her nightdress.


    "You are not wearing anything under?." Liu Longwei asked as he caressed her bum, leaving the stupefied Chen Lihua.


    And before she could say anything, Liu Longwei said. "This is perfect. At least, he can easily locate you without trouble."

 Chapter 436 - Pleasure

    "You are not wearing anything under?." Liu Longwei asked as he caressed her bum, leaving the stupefied Chen Lihua.


    And before she could say anything, Liu Longwei said. "This is perfect. At least, he can easily locate you without trouble."


    And with that, he kneeled between her, with his body weight hanging on the air.


    Chen Lihua was frightened, so she said with widened eyeballs. "Longwei, what do you think you are trying to do? Can''t you see the baby?."


    "I love it when you call my name." Liu Longwei said as he hopped to the side and kissed her puffed-up cheeks.


    Just when Chen Lihua was trying to bring down her dress to cover her upper body, Liu Longwei grabbed that hand.


    "No, no, not so fast." He said.


    "It''s my turn to have fun."


    With that, he leaned into her face and kissed her deeply as their hot tongues entangled together as if they''ve missed the fun for so long.


    "I told you I was going to kiss you till you''re out of breath, and I meant it." Liu Longwei said in between the heated kisses.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes immediately flew open. She didn''t want the kiss again, so she started to push him away.


    "Relax, I was joking." Liu Longwei said as he chuckled softly.


    Chen Lihua glared at him before moving on to hit his neck.


    "You''ve been pardoned. Darling, I want to try a different position today, don''t want the normal way, I want to have fun." Chen Lihua demanded as she gazed into his eyes fearlessly.


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he kissed her forehead. "I will satisfy you, But we need to try a position that won''t harm the baby."


    "Okay", Chen Lihua said in agreement.


    Next, they got into position.


    "I thought you never like this position?." lieu Longwei asked in surprise as he held unto her waist and gazed at her.


    "It''s not like I didn''t like it, but I was too shy to do it." Chen Lihua said as she took off her nightdress, exposing her n.a.k.e.d body to him.


    Liu Longwei''s eyes wandered all over her body as he smiled satisfactorily. ''This beautiful body he was looking at, belonged to him.''


    This s.e.x position was common. Liu Longwei lay on the bed with his back against it as Chen Lihua sat on him with her knees on both sides of his body.


    This pregnancy s.e.x position is a classic. By sitting up and straddling your partner, you have the advantage of being in control of the pace and ability to move around to find the best angles. If possible, rest your hands or forearms on the headboard to help support your weight.


    This s.e.x position would also bring immense pleasure to both of them.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/pleasure_51917474848887024 for visiting.


    "Don''t you think we got into this position early? I didn''t make your body ready for me just yet." Liu Longwei said worriedly.


    "I will handle it, trust me." Chen Lihua promised as she leaned in to kiss him.


    Because of her baby bump, she couldn''t kiss him so smoothly, so Liu Longwei propped his back with some pillows to make work easy for her.


    As they touched each other and kissed, they were already getting into the red atmosphere.


    Sometimes, Chen Lihua would make little moves on his member, stimulating both of them.


    "Do you plan to punish us this night?." Liu Longwei asked in a low husky voice as he gently slapped her bottom.


    "Shut up." Chen Lihua shut him up immediately. She needed to concentrate on what she was doing, as any distractions would cause her to lose focus.


    When she felt that they were stimulated enough, she adjusted her sitting position before firmly grasping his member, and directing it into her.


    Gasps escaped from their lips as they felt each other.


    Chen Lihua began to move against him, slowly as she placed her hands on his chest.


    On the other hand, Liu Longwei had his hands on her bum, slapping it as gently as he could to stimulate her activeness.


    "I love this feeling, and I missed it." Chen Lihua said in a soft tone as she started to increase her pace.


    Liu Longwei didn''t just leave her to do the work by herself, he also helped her by moving his h.i.p.s to meet hers.


    "Sweetheart, faster." Liu Longwei demanded as he watched her body and facial expressions.


    He was in love with her expressions.


    From moving to a faster rate, an uncontrollable m.o.a.n escaped Chen Lihua''s slips as she paused that move and ground.


    Liu Longwei m.o.a.ned as he squeezed her bottom a bit hard this time around.


    Chen Lihua then continued moving in and out.


    When Liu Longwei felt she was getting tired, he decided to change positions immediately.


    He was so fast that Chen Lihua couldn''t tell how it happened.


    So now, they were lying on their sides, and Liu Longwei entered her from behind as he gently fondled her b.r.e.a.s.ts.


    Chen Lihua was in ecstasy already. She couldn''t tell what was happening around her, but she was enjoying her current feeling.


    Because she couldn''t control herself, she started to touch herself with her fingers, but Liu Longwei noticed she had an uncontrollable pleasure, so he pushed her fingers easy, and replaced them with his fingers.


    Liu Longwei caressed her c.l.i.t.o.r.i.s as he continued moving in and out of her at a considerable speed.


    "Lon... Longwei, if you keep...up...with...that, I will c.u.m soon." Chen Lihua said with an uncontrollable amount of pleasure.


    "That''s my aim." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears as he bit her ear lobes.


    A few minutes later, they both m.o.a.ned and reached the epic of their pleasure.


    Liu Longwei had his hands wrapped sound Chen Lihua''s waist as they breathed heavily.


    They both had satisfied smiles on their faces.


    After five minutes of being in each other''s arms, they went to the bathroom to clean up.


    After bathing together, Liu Longwei quickly changed into a new set of pajamas before going back to the room to change the sheets before his wide came out from the dressing room.


    What a good husband!

 Chapter 437 - A special room makeover for Liu Dongmei

    The next morning, Chen Lihua was blooming with smiles. Lou Longwei could see a different kind of happiness on her face.


    ''Looks like I satisfied her well last night''. He thought with a proud smile on his face.


    Having taken a maternity leave from work today, Chen Lihua was all smiles as she relaxed and surfed for Baby items online.


    She was having a boy, so she was planning to get more baby items in blue.


    She was a lot interest in welcoming her child soon.


    The maternity room would be perfectly ready, next week, so she was putting in a lot of effort now so there would be no last-minute rush.


    She didn''t want to leave anything behind.


    Although she wasn''t having her baby in the hospital, she needed to get her maternity bag ready as well.


    After recuperating for two days, Liu Huiling goes to live with Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei with her children after much persuasion from Chen Lihua.


    "Sister Ling, come and keep me company. I will be so bored by myself since I''ve taken a leave from the hospital. Please stay with me till you figure out your plans."


    Initially, Liu Huiling planned to return to the Liu residence after she moved out with her children, and sold the house used to live in because she didn''t want to be reminded of her pain.


    The house Liu Huiling live in with her children, was under her name because it was part of the dowry Liu Longwei gave to her few days before she got married, so she had every right to sell it.


    On the day Liu Huiling came with her children to stay, Chen Lihua prepared a feast to welcome them.


    Liu Dongmei came with her daughter. Madam Liu came with the Old Madam Liu who rarely went out.


    Liu Liwei came as well, he came from his filming site.


    The house was lively as Chen Lihua welcomed Liu Huiling into her house. She also got presents for everyone that came around.


    But most especially, she got big, better, and more expensive gifts for Liu Huiling.


    During the welcoming party, nobody brought up the topic of Zhang Wei. They only encouraged her to go on with her life, and that they would always be there for her.


    Liu Huiling was emotional as her family showed her much love. She was also most grateful to Chen Lihua for throwing a simple party and inviting their family just to welcome her into her house, so she toasted to her.


    The party was held in the evening, so it would suit everyone''s work schedule.


    The party didn''t last for a long time, but the little time spent was worthwhile.


    A quality time spent together was worth much more than anything between families!


    Before Liu Dongmei left that day, she promised to come over and stay for two weeks, and she did fulfill her promise.


    She came a week later with her luggage ????. She didn''t come alone, she came with her daughter and her Nanny.


    "Is Mu Boqin in support of this?." Liu Huiling asked as she watched her sister walk into the house while holding her daughter''s hand, and as the servants brought in their luggage.


    "Qin is fine with everything I do. He just needs to be an obedient husband and support whatever his wife does if he wants peace." Liu Dongmei said in reply as she made herself comfortable in the living room.


    "It''s only Boqin that can tolerate your outrageous behavior." Liu Huiling said as she sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. Her face was looking healthier.


    "Why? I''m I stubborn?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "You are, very stubborn." Liu Huiling replied as a smile appeared on her face.


    "Oh! Qin is dealing quite well with it." Liu Dongmei replied.


    "I don''t see Lihua around, where is she?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "She''s taking a nap. She has been waiting for your arrival for such a long time, what caused the delay?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "I was delayed because I had a painting to deliver. I''m so sorry to have kept her waiting. I also forget to notify you of the time." Liu Dongmei said in apology.


    When Liu Dongmei''s daughter saw her cousins, she ran off to play with them.


    "When you see Chen Lihua, apologize to her. She had the chef prepare something special for you. You just have a special way of ruining plans." Liu Huiling said.


    Liu Dongmei brought out her tongue ???? as she smiled. Liu Huiling chuckled softly at her childish behavior.


    "Sister Mei, I saw that." Chen Lihua said as she quickly made her way towards them with a smile on her face.


    Her face just looked like someone that had a good sleep.


    Liu Dongmei took her tongue back in at lightning speed, but Chen Lihua had already seen it.


    "It''s really funny seeing this playful side of you." Chen Lihua said as she went to hug her, before taking a seat.


    "I will be here for two weeks, so you will be seeing more shades of Liu Dongmei." Liu Dongmei said as she winked ???? at the end of her statement.


    "By the way, you look like you had a good sleep." Liu Dongmei commented.


    "Oh yeah. I was so tired from waiting for you, so I had to take a quick nap. But who knew you would arrive before I would wake up." Chen Lihua replied.


    "I was delayed because of work, I''m sorry about that. I heard from Huiling that you prepared a special delicacy for me, can have a look at it now?." Liu Dongmei asked as her eyes shown brightly.


    "No. What you need to take a look at, is the bedroom Lihua prepared for you. She decorated it with your artistic taste." Liu Huiling revealed.


    "Really?." Liu Dongmei asked with a smile on her face as she glanced between them.


    "Yeah. Would you like to take a look at it while the food is being served?." Chen Lihua asked, seeking her opinion.


    "Of course I would love to, please show me the way." Liu Dongmei said, jumping to her feet with an excited look on her face.

    It really had this artistic look and screamed of Liu Dongmei, the bedroom was truly made for her.

 Chapter 438 - Going for a swim

    Chen Lihua led them to the bedroom she prepared for Liu Dongmei.


    It really had this artistic look and screamed of Liu Dongmei, the bedroom was truly made for her.


    Chen Lihua finished the creative look with Liu Dongmei''s paintings.


    "Wow! I never knew you had this much of my paintings." Liu Dongmei said as she looked around the room.


    "I told you I was your fan and had a few of your paintings in the US. I only acquired more when I came down to China. Few months after the paintings and other properties were shipped in, I carefully packed them in one place. Now your coming over here was the perfect opportunity to finally display them once again."

    "I love this Lihua, thank you!." Liu Dongmei said gratefully, as she reached out in a hug.


    "Ah! I forgot about the baby." Liu Dongmei said when she hit Chen Lihua''s baby bump while trying to hug her the normal way.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling giggled.


    "Lihua, you put in so much effort just for my short stay here. I must thank you for that. Who knows, that by the time two weeks is over, Qin might have to come and drag me back home." Liu Dongmei as Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling chuckled softly.


    "I don''t think Boqin has to come to pick you up personally. Just a call to brother and he will send you packing." Liu Huiling said.


    "That''s true, those two are best of friends, and brother wouldn''t delay in kicking me out once he complains about me." Liu Dongmei added.


    "Alright Sister Mei, let''s go down for Lunch, or the food might get cold." Chen Lihua reminded them.


    "I almost forgot about the food because I was carried away with the room decors." Liu Dongmei said as they all filed out.


    "Building is your bedroom more stylish than mine?." Liu Dongmei asked softly.


    Liu Huiling glanced at her and sighed, "Tsk...tsk. I can''t wait for you to grow up."


    Chen Lihua chuckled from the side before replying, "Sister Ling is quiet and has a good sense of humor, so I had her room given a simple but classic look befitting for her image."


    "Lihua, you are so good at this. You know how to decorate a room based on people''s personalities, bravo!!!. You will pass for my assistant." Liu Dongmei said as she rubbed her palms together.


    "Thank you, but it''s not like I decorated the bedroom myself, I had Longwei contact the people for the job. I only told them what I wanted, and selected the designs from their samples, and then, maybe added one or two things." Chen Lihua explained.


    "What matters is the effort you put into our comfort. That means you care of us so much." Liu Dongmei said.


    Chen Lihua smiled without saying anything.


    At the dining room, the children gathered around as they joined their mothers to have a delicious lunch.


    Liu Dongmei ate a lot during lunch, so she had to take walks for easy digestion.


    When she returned to the house, she ran straight to her bedroom to take pictures. She also went into Liu Huiling''s bedroom to check out her room design.


    She took of picture of it too, before posting on social media with the caption that read, ''So my sister and I came to stay with our sister-in-law for some days, and she had the bedroom for our stay, decorated to the kind of personality we have. @LihuaChen you did a good job!.''


    Within minutes, she got so many reactions and comments on that post.


    And that day, her post was the number trending. Her fans praised Chen Lihua for her good sense of humor and the effort she put in despite being busy.


    But what they didn''t know was that Chen Lihua was pregnant, and had already taken a maternity leave from the hospital.


    Going into the children''s bedroom, she saw that she decorated it in a pink princess style.


    The room was beautiful, and there were three little princess beds in the room.


    The room was decorated in pink and suited the three little girls.


    Liu Dongmei didn''t fail to take a picture of the bedroom and shared it to her Instagram page with the caption, ''Oh! And she had the girl''s room decorated as well. @LihuaChen, you deserve a kiss.''


    That post also made it to the trending topic.


    After resting for a while, Liu Dongmei suggested they went swimming in the pool.


    Chen Lihua looked down at her baby bump and asked, "won''t I be the weird one?."


    "It doesn''t matter, let''s go for a swim!." Liu Dongmei announced


    There were three swimming pools at different locations in the house.


    The one at the rooftop belonged solely to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    Then the two outside the house, was free for any of their visitors to use, so Chen Lihua chose the smaller one amongst the two outside the house.


    "We are not having a pool party with friends, so let''s make use of this one." She said.


    A few minutes later, they went swimming with the children.


    Liu Dongmei had music playing through the portable blue tooth speaker she came with.


    She had a glass of wine in hand as she danced to the tune of the music.


    Chen Lihua didn''t wear anything revealing as she was the conservative kind of person, but she had fun with her sisters-in-law and their daughters.


    Liu Dongmei didn''t fail to take pictures of their activities.


    At the end of the day, she only posted three pictures, and none of them showed Chen Lihua''s baby bump.


    In the evening when Liu Longwei came back from work, he washed up after resting for a while, before taking all of them out for a treat.


    "Brother, I feel so good spending your money." Liu Dongmei said to him.


    "Don''t be surprised that I would deduct it from your pay." Liu Longwei teased.


    "Brother, I know you are not petty, I trust you." Liu Dongmei said as she smiled.


    "It''s not like you trust him, you are just saying this because you are actually scared that he might do it." Liu Huiling revealed with a smirk on her face.

 Chapter 439 - You deserve every good that comes to you...

    "Brother, I know you are not petty, I trust you." Liu Dongmei said as she smiled.


    "It''s not like you trust him, you are just saying this because you are scared that he might do it." Liu Huiling revealed with a smirk on her face.


    What Liu Huiling said is true. Liu Dongmei was scared of Liu Longwei because she knew that he means every word that comes out of his mouth.


    She knows how many times his words have sent her out of the country.


    Even if she can afford the treatment, she wanted to do it willingly.


    After taking them out for a meal, Liu Longwei took them to a high-end shopping mall.


    His sisters enjoyed the shopping, more especially, Liu Dongmei.


    Since her brother said they could pick whatever they wanted, who was she to disobey?


    "Don''t you like anything here?." Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua was standing beside him and looking around.


    "I have more than enough properties to last me fear years, so thank you, I will just stand by and watch." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.


    "Nonsense. How can I take my wife shopping, and she won''t pick anything for herself? Follow me." He said as he took her to the maternity section.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling watched their brother and his wife leave for the area of the shopping mall.


    They smiled as they could feel the love between them.


    "Brother doesn''t take no for an answer." Liu Dongmei said as she chuckled softly.


    "We have to shop quickly so we can pick some things for the girls." Liu Huiling reminded.


    "That''s right. Coming to the shopping mall in the evening, gives me a different feeling altogether." Liu Dongmei said as she continued to shop.


    When Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua got to the maternity section, he began to look at them one after the other. But not being satisfied with the clothes there, he requested assistance.


    "I don''t like the clothes here. Don''t you have anything that would be fitting for her, instead of these clothes that are for middle-aged people?."


    The shop attendant glanced at Chen Lihua, but she couldn''t make out what she looked like, so she said to Liu Longwei as she led them away, "Please Sir, follow me."


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua both wore nose masks so they would not be identified.


    If only Chen Lihua had a face mask on her face, her identity would have been easy to guess just by seeing Liu Longwei''s face.


    So they both had to put on nose masks to hide their identity.


    From this new section they were taken to, Liu Longwei picked a few dresses before handing them over to Chen Lihua to try on.


    "Darling, it will be so tiring changing into all these clothes. It will stress me, and I don''t think I have the energy for it." Chen Lihua complained.


    "That won''t be a problem, I will help you." Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua looked around before whispering to him, "What are you saying? We out, and not in the house."


    "It doesn''t matter." Liu Longwei replied as he stretched his hand out to her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at his outstretched hand before taking it, while the other hand rested on her baby bump.


    Together, they went into the changing room.


    Chen Lihua didn''t feel shy like the way she used to feel before. She undressed in front of him and tried out the dresses he picked for her.


    Liu Longwei didn''t sit there and watch, he also helped her out.


    Finally satisfied, Liu Longwei paid for the dresses before going to the children''s section to meet his sisters.


    After shopping, Liu Longwei settled the bills before they went to get the children from the playground where they left them with their nannies.


    At night, Chen Lihua asked Liu Longwei as they cuddled in bed, "When are we shopping for the baby items?."


    "Next weekend is good." Liu Longwei replied as he caressed her back.


    "Do you want us to get the baby''s room ready?." Liu Longwei asked, seeking her opinion.


    "It''s too early for that. Maybe when the baby is a month or two, the room decor can commence. But after the baby is born, he would have to share a room with me." Chen Lihua replied.


    "I thought you would need to rest, that''s why I suggested getting the room ready so his nannies can stay and take care of him while you have a good night''s rest." Liu Longwei explained.


    "Nannies? How many do you plan on employing?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "Minimum of two, and Maximum of four." Liu Longwei replied in a serious tone.


    "Just for one baby?." Chen Lihua questioned in surprise.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/you-deserve-every-good-that-comes-to-you..._51951544140092519 for visiting.


    "Yes. I was considering not going overboard, that''s why I said a maximum of four." Liu Longwei answered.


    Chen Lihua was speechless. ''Were they having a royal baby?.'' She thought to herself.


    "You don''t need to be surprised because I''m doing this for you and the baby. I don''t want you to get stressed while looking after the baby. I also want to make sure our child has well looked after." Liu Longwei explained thoughtfully


    "I''m just thinking what good my ancestors incurred during their time for me to be ripping the benefits now." Chen Lihua said as she gazed at him.


    "Why do you say so?." Liu Longwei asked as a smile appeared on his face.


    "I''m so lucky to be married to a good husband that loves me, takes care of me, and takes considerations so I will be comfortable. Sometimes I wonder if I deserve you."


    "Ssshhh." Liu Longwei shushed her.


    "Don''t say that. Every good that comes for you or happens to you is because you deserve it. Don''t ever belittle yourself." He said to her.


    "Yes, husband." Chen Lihua replied as she giggled.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he hugged her.


    "Darling, my back is aching, can you massage it for me?." Chen Lihua asked as she gave him that dreamy look.

    Liu Longwei smiled as he hugged her.


    "Darling, my back is aching, can you massage it for me?." Chen Lihua asked as she gave him that dreamy look.


    "Of course I will." Liu Longwei said as he said switched position with her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/baby-shopping_51973229161537227 for visiting.


    Since Chen Lihua had an obvious baby bump, she couldn''t lie on her abdomen, so she had to lie on her side.


    Liu Longwei took his time and gave her a relaxing massage. He massages her back for an hour before moving to her feet.


    While massaging her feet, she slept off. Liu Longwei chuckled as he watched her sleep like a child.


    He took a pillow and put it in between her knees to support the weight of the baby bump.


    Next, he covered her with the duvet after making sure the humidifier was in place.


    It was summer, and the weather was hot. But the AC was on, so Liu Longwei thought she would catch a cold in no time.


    These days, Chen Lihua sweated a lot. It''s since she was about five months pregnant. And now it was the Summer season, she was becoming more uncomfortable because she didn''t like sweating.


    Because she didn''t like sweating, she would rush to the bathroom any time she noticed she was beginning to feel hot.


    But luckily for her, it wasn''t often that she sweated. Since she was so particular about sweating.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua up late. And by that time, Liu Longwei had already gone to work.


    Instead of taking the elevator, she decided to take the stairs today, as advised by her doctor. It was part of an exercise.


    Looking at the number of stairs she has to take, Chen Lihua felt like turning back and going to take the elevator, but she couldn''t.


    When she finally made her way to the dining area, she was almost out of breath.


    "Why are you breathing so hard, did you take the stairs?." Liu Huiling asked as she walked into the dining area from the kitchen.


    "Yeah, I have to exercise." Chen Lihua replied as she took a sit and fanned herself with her hands.


    "Sorry. But what about the Yoga exercises you normally have in the morning?." Liu Huiling asked curiously.


    She was wondering the reason she left the normal exercises she normally partook in, in the morning and decided to take the stairs.


    "The Yoga can wait. Right now, I''m very hungry that I can even swallow a cow." Chen Lihua said breathlessly.


    Liu Huiling chuckled softly as she said to her, "Sorry about that, I will get your food now."


    Liu Huiling went into the kitchen and emerged a few minutes later with a tray of food in her hand. Next, she served the food for Chen Lihua.


    "Thank you, Sister Ling." Chen Lihua said as a smile finally appeared on her face.


    "You''re welcome." Liu Huiling replied with a smile on her face.


    "Sister Ling, how come I don''t see sister Mei and the kids?." Chen Lihua asked after a little observation.


    "Oh! They have had their breakfast, so Mei is playing with the kids at the little playground you set up." Liu Huiling explained.


    "Playing immediately after breakfast?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "You''ve seen it." Liu Huiling said in reply.


    At this point, Chen Lihua''s stomach grumbled, indicating that she needed to it, so she stopped worrying about others and decided to feed herself and her baby first.


    She still had Yoga classes to attend, but that would be later.


    After eating, Chen Lihua rested for a while before attending her Yoga practice as her coach had been waiting for a while now.


    After the exercises, she finished two bottles of water at once, then, she went into the study to read a book about the developing fetus.


    When it was time for her scheduled antenatal classes, she dressed up and went to the hospital.


    Since this was the same hospital she worked in, she made sure to cover her face properly before leaving the house with QB and K2.


    "Just for one baby?." Chen Lihua questioned in surprise.


    "Yes. I was considering not going overboard, that''s why I said a maximum of four." Liu Longwei answered.


    Chen Lihua was speechless. ''Were they having a royal baby?.'' She thought to herself.


    "You don''t need to be surprised because I''m doing this for you and the baby. I don''t want you to get stressed while looking after the baby. I also want to make sure our child has well looked after." Liu Longwei explained thoughtfully


    "I''m just thinking what good my ancestors incurred during their time for me to be ripping the benefits now." Chen Lihua said as she gazed at him.


    "Why do you say so?." Liu Longwei asked as a smile appeared on his face.


    "I''m so lucky to be married to a good husband that loves me, takes care of me, and takes considerations so I will be comfortable. Sometimes I wonder if I deserve you."


    "Ssshhh." Liu Longwei shushed her.


    "Don''t say that. Every good that comes for you or happens to you is because you deserve it. Don''t ever belittle yourself." He said to her.


    "Yes, husband." Chen Lihua replied as she giggled.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he hugged her.


    "Darling, my back is aching, can you massage it for me?." Chen Lihua asked as she gave him that dreamy look.


    What Liu Huiling said is true. Liu Dongmei was scared of Liu Longwei because she knew that he means every word that comes out of his mouth.


    She knows how many times his words have sent her out of the country.


    Even if she can afford the treatment, she wanted to do it willingly.


    After taking them out for a meal, Liu Longwei took them to a high-end shopping mall.


    His sisters enjoyed the shopping, more especially, Liu Dongmei.


    Since her brother said they could pick whatever they wanted, who was she to disobey?


    "Don''t you like anything here?." Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua was standing beside him and looking around.


    "I have more than enough properties to last me fear years, so thank you, I will just stand by and watch." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.


    "Nonsense. How can I take my wife shopping, and she won''t pick anything for herself? Follow me." He said as he took her to the maternity section.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling watched their brother and his wife leave for the area of the shopping mall.


    They smiled as they could feel the love between them.


    "Brother doesn''t take no for an answer." Liu Dongmei said as she chuckled softly.


    "We have to shop quickly so we can pick some things for the girls." Liu Huiling reminded.


    "That''s right. Coming to the shopping mall in the evening, gives me a different feeling altogether." Liu Dongmei said as she continued to shop.


    When Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua got to the maternity section, he began to look at them one after the other. But not being satisfied with the clothes there, he requested assistance.


    "I don''t like the clothes here. Don''t you have anything that would be fitting for her, instead of these clothes that are for middle-aged people?."


    The shop attendant glanced at Chen Lihua, but she couldn''t make out what she looked like, so she said to Liu Longwei as she led them away, "Please Sir, follow me."


    Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua both wore nose masks so they would not be identified.


    If only Chen Lihua had a face mask on her face, her identity would have been easy to guess just by seeing Liu Longwei''s face.


    So they both had to put on nose masks to hide their identity.


    From this new section they were taken to, Liu Longwei picked a few dresses before handing them over to Chen Lihua to try on.


    "Darling, it will be so tiring changing into all these clothes. It will stress me, and I don''t think I have the energy for it." Chen Lihua complained.


    "That won''t be a problem, I will help you." Liu Longwei said.


    Chen Lihua looked around before whispering to him, "What are you saying? We out, and not in the house."


    "It doesn''t matter." Liu Longwei replied as he stretched his hand out to her.

    Liu Longwei smiled as he hugged her.


    "Darling, my back is aching, can you massage it for me?." Chen Lihua asked as she gave him that dreamy look.


    "Of course I will." Liu Longwei said as he said switched position with her.

    She still had Yoga classes to attend, but that would be later.


    After eating, Chen Lihua rested for a while before attending her Yoga practice as her coach had been waiting for a while now.


    After the exercises, she finished two bottles of water at once, then, she went into the study to read a book about the developing fetus.


    When it was time for her scheduled antenatal classes, she dressed up and went to the hospital.


    Since this was the same hospital she worked in, she made sure to cover her face properly before leaving the house with QB and K2.


    Her antenatal class went normal as usual, she also dropped by her doctor''s office to check on her baby to make sure everything was going smoothly.


    As the delivery room has been set up, with the necessary equipment, it was now time to get her delivery bag read, and also shop for baby things.


    So at night, she and Liu Longwei shopped online for their baby products, according to the list the doctor gave to them.


    The doctor told them they could shop online or drive down to any baby store to get those items.


    So here they were, having quality time and choosing their baby items.


    Most of the items they ordered were in blue since they were having a boy.


    "I think we would experience a better feeling if we went to the baby store to shop. We can order for the heavy and big items online, and then get the simple and important items from the store." Chen Lihua suggested.


    "You are right." Liu Longwei said in agreement.


    After coming to an agreement and creating a schedule for the shopping, Liu Longwei hugged his wife to sleep.


    On Saturday, this couple went shopping in the morning.


    Since Liu Longwei wanted them to shop comfortably, he paid for an exclusive time and space to shop alone.


    They drove right down to the Chen Store because Liu Longwei found it right to patronize his mother-in-law''s business.


    After about five hours, Liu Huiling was beginning to get worried about them.


    "Mei, you say, Can shopping last more than five hours?." Liu Huiling asked Liu Dongmei who was going through the magazine in her hands.


    Liu Dongmei looked up from the magazine as she glanced at the wristwatch in her hand, before turning to glance at Liu Huiling.


    "Yeah, it can. It depends on the items you want to shop for. Someone like me takes ours to shop, so I was the plan and prepare a schedule for it ahead of time. I like spending time while picking whatever I want." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Did I ask about you? I know who you are already, so there''s no need to ask you about it." Liu Huiling said as she sat and crossed her legs.


    Liu Dongmei sighed and went back to reading her magazine.


    "Do you have any plans for today?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "Yeah. Since Lihua prepared that artistic bedroom for me, it would be a waste not to make use of this opportunity for creativity, so I plan on painting today. Just looking for more exposure." Liu Dongmei replied without looking up.

 Chapter 442 - Organizing the baby items

    "Do you have any plans for today?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "Yeah. Since Lihua prepared that artistic bedroom for me, it would be a waste not to make use of this opportunity for creativity, so I plan on painting today. Just looking for more exposure." Liu Dongmei replied without looking up.


    "I see. Alright! I will not disturb you from getting more inspiration. Let me go up and rest my head, see you later..." Liu Huiling said as she got up and made her way out of the flowered veranda.


    "Yeah, see you." Liu Dongmei said as she continued with her work.


    After going through the magazine, Liu Dongmei made some jottings and a sketch on her sketchbook. Satisfied with her work, a smile appeared on her face.


    She picked up her things and went into her bedroom. She kept them there and picked up her purse in which she put her phone, credit card, and some cash before walking out.


    Before leaving the house, she checked on Liu Huiling and saw she was still fast asleep, so she left quietly.


    Liu Dongmei left the house and went shopping for her painting items.


    Since she had to work, she needed to get those items.


    She was going to spend a little fortune because her painting items were expensive. And because she didn''t come to her brother''s house with the ones she had, she had to shop for new ones.


    Two hours later, Liu Dongmei returned to the house, and by this time, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were home already.


    Liu Dongmei came back home with her hand filled with shopping bags. The servants had to help her carry out the drawing board and some other items from the car booth.


    Liu Dongmei went straight to her bedroom to drop the items she bought.


    On her way there with the servants, she met Liu Huiling who was heading downstairs.


    "You''re back? When I woke from my nap, the servants told me you went shopping." Liu Huiling asked as she followed her into her room.


    "Yeah. After finally getting a complete inspiration and getting all riled up, I decided to shop for some of my work items and put my talent to good use." Liu Dongmei said with a smile as she walked into her room and put the items in her hands down.


    "That''s good. Would have loved to follow you and watch you choose your work items, but too bad I was fast asleep. Are you painting now?." Liu Huiling asked as she took a seat and watched the servants leave after settling the things in their hands down.


    "No, I will start work in the evening and will need to work for long hours. Right now, I would take nap, and eat before I start work." Liu Dongmei replied as she sat on her bed with a hand massaging her neck.


    "Okay. I have free time, so call me when you want to start painting, I want to watch you. These days, I''m so free since my brother relieved me of my work burden. The children just came home from school, so I will just look after them." Liu Huiling said as she stood up to leave.


    "Huiling?." Liu Dongmei called out, and Liu Huiling stopped in her steps and turned around as she hummed in response, "mmmm".


    "If working will make you feel better, I think you should tell brother to allow you work, rather than staying idle and thinking about the past." Liu Dongmei advised.


    Liu Huiling heaved a sigh, "Don''t worry about me, I know when to get back to work. Soon, I will because staying idle for a long time help me, and there''s no need to dwell in the past. I feel brother didn''t want me to get distracted while working, so he allowed me to take a rest for as long as I wanted."


    "Okay, see you later." Liu Dongmei said to her as she watched her leave.


    As Liu Huiling said, she went to check out the kids that got back from school shortly before Liu Dongmei came back home.


    As for Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei, they were up and about, doing their own business.


    They were organizing the baby items they shopped for.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/organizing-the-baby-items_51990433189911566 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua who initially felt tired from the shopping was suddenly energetic as she was pitting the items in place.


    "You look so happy." Liu Longwei commented with a smile on his face.


    "Of course I''m happy. Who wouldn''t be happy getting things ready for their child''s birth?." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at him.


    "I think you should rest, you''ve moved around so much today." Liu Longwei suggested.


    "I will rest later when I''m done organizing all of these." Chem Lihua said.


    Liu Longwei smiled without saying anything as he allowed her to do what was making her happy.


    They were currently in the baby''s room.


    "I think I should also pack my maternity items and take them to the delivery room at once." Chen Lihua said to no one in particular. She had a serious expression on her face as she said this.


    Liu Longwei was about to say he would help her out, and that she should just point at the items she wanted, and he would pack them up, but she shocked him by saying, "Darling, you can leave me to organize the rest, you have a lot of work at hand, and you will be traveling in two weeks."


    Liu Longwei was speechless. Although he knew his wife cared for him, he still couldn''t allow her to overwork herself even when she was exhausted, so he said to her...


    "I will work later. But for now, I have to help you out. I don''t want you complaining about back pains. You shouldn''t overwork yourself at this stage, I will help you out." Liu Longwei reminded her and further ignored whatever she had to say.


    He didn''t know why she was so stubborn.

 Chapter 443 - A painting for Chen Lihua

    Later in the evening, Liu Dongmei notified Liu Huiling before going to her favorite part of the house, the open veranda that hard nature in place.


    The lovely flower pots and designs of mother nature.


    Actually, Liu Dongmei was the person that designed the house and put things in order. So she put in oft effort to put life into every corner of the house.


    And the Veranda even though it wasn''t the masterpiece, still stood out. And besides, that place was good for getting good vibes and inspiration, so she preferred to work there than inside an enclosed space.


    With Liu Huiling''s help, she finally got everything set.


    With her pencil in her hand, she said with a smile on her face, "Now to say thank you, I will be painting two pictures of Lihua."


    "How would you do that without looking at her or her pictures?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "Seriously Sister, you shouldn''t be asking this question. I can draw anyone without looking at the person, as far I''ve spent good moments with you." Liu Dongmei explained as she started mixing the colors she would be working with.


    "Okay." Liu Huiling replied as she began to watch her mix her colors and start to paint.


    After having a nap, Chen Lihua took water into the study room for Liu Longwei. She didn''t want to leave immediately, but she had or she would be a distraction to him.


    Chen Lihua went to the children''s room to check on them, and she found them playing by themselves, so she went into their room with a happy smile on her face.


    "Hello!." She said as she waved her hand to them.


    "Hello, Aunt Lihua!." The three girls greeted them as they ran and hugged her.


    Chen Lihua was lucky she had a foothold on the ground, or her position would have been shaken. She couldn''t even stop them in time when they started running towards her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/a-painting-for-chen-lihua_51996528268600573 for visiting.


    "Alright children, let me go." She said to them in a kind smile as she protectively held her stomach.


    As the children let go, she asked, " Can I join you, girls?."


    "Yes. We are building a house with the building blocks, so you can join us." Anna (Liu Dongmei''s daughter) said as she welcomed Chen Lihua to join them.


    The next second, Chen Lihua was sitting with the girls on their play mats as she started playing with them.


    Cherry and Little Apple passed her some building blocks to make her own house.


    Chen Lihua smiled to herself as she played with them. It was so fun being in the midst of Children, it brought happiness and gladness of heart.


    As if partaking in the activities, the baby in her w.o.m.b gave two kicks at once. This made Chen Lihua put down the building blocks in her hands and placed her hands on her baby bump with excitement written all over her face.


    The girls noticed her excitement and her actions, so they all turned towards her as Little Apple asked.


    "Aunt Hua, why do you look so happy?."


    "The baby in my w.o.m.b kicked me." Chen Lihua replied, not knowing if they understood her.


    The three girls glanced at each other in confusion with their thoughts, ''how can a baby still in the stomach be able to kick?'' Before turning to give Chen Lihua a confused gaze.


    Chen Lihua saw the confusion written on their faces, so she took little Apple''s hand and placed it in her abdomen.


    Little Apple felt a punch where she touched, so her eyes widened in shock and amazement as she glanced at the baby bump before glancing at the other two girls.


    "Wow! I felt a kick now, the baby kicked me." She announced in her little cute voice.


    The other girls wanted to experiment, so immediately Chen Lihua featured to them to come closer, they didn''t waste time as they placed their palms on her baby bump.


    "Wow!." They chorused in amazement as they glanced at each other before gazing at Chen Lihua without an excited look on their faces.


    "Aunt Hua, the baby kicked us. Is he trying to say something?." Cherry asked curiously.


    "I guess. Why don''t you try talking to him?" Chen Lihua suggested with a happy smile on her face as three little palms remained placed on her stomach.


    "Really? We can talk to him?." Anna asked in surprise.


    "Yes. Why don''t you try first?" Chen Lihua said, urging her to go on.


    Anna looked at the two siblings before focusing her gaze on the baby bump.


    After the baby moved when she placed her little palm, he hasn''t moved again. So she was determined to get a reaction from him again, so she spoke to him in her cute childish voice.


    "Hello Baby, how are you?."


    Two seconds later, the baby gave a kick, and the three girls became happy and excited at the same time, that they started asking questions one after the other to get a reaction from the baby.


    "Oh no!." Chen Lihua said to herself in surprise when she saw the outcome of the atmosphere she created.


    She didn''t even know how to stop the girls from having fun. She didn''t want them to be unhappy. Now she was the one receiving the blows and the kicks from the baby.


    Finally, she let them be.


    A few minutes later, the girls became sad as they couldn''t any more responses from the baby, so their faces turned up in worry.


    Seeing their facial expressions, Chen Lihua placed a hand on her abdomen as she explained to them.


    "The baby is tired and has gone to sleep."


    "Oh! Maybe we can play with him again when he awakes." Cherry suggested and the other girls nodded in agreement before going back to continue building houses with the building blocks.


    ''Again?.'' Chen Lihua thought, as her heart screamed ''Noo...!!!.''


    Seeing her lost in thought, Little Apple called her attention back, and she continued playing with them.


    When the girls suggested moving into another game, Chen Lihua almost cried out, because she was hungry. But seeing their expectant look, she didn''t want to turn them down, so she agreed to play the next game with them.


    The next game was the crossword puzzle. The crossword puzzle was an interesting and educative game.


    This particular game turned Chen Lihua into a teacher. As they played the game, she thought them the meaning of each word they found.


    She also made them try the spellings of some of the simple words.


    At the end of the game, she was already tired and very hungry. And if she didn''t eat now, she didn''t know if she would be able to hold the hunger anymore.


    No, she needed to curb the hunger.


    Seeing that they were about to suggest playing another game, she immediately cut in with a fake smile on her face.


    "Why don''t we go down to the living room and have delicious refreshments, then we can play at the playground outside."


    "Wow! That would be nice! I''m hungry already." Little Apple said in agreement.


    "I''m hungry as well," Anna said.


    "Yeah, we should eat before going to the playground," Cherry said in agreement before they rose to their feet to leave, but Chen Lihua made them put away their toys before they left their bedroom.


    Being good-hearted and knowing the right thing do, Chen Lihua assisted them to put their toys away.

 Chapter 444 - Two Paintings for a gift

    During time for dinner, Liu Dongmei was nowhere to be seen.


    "Since today, I don''t think I''ve taken a good look at Sister Mei, where did you go to?." Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "She''s has been working on something since this evening. Don''t worry, she will have her dinner later." Liu Huiling said.


    "Oh!." Chen Lihua replied with her gaze somewhere else. Then, she continued eating.


    After dinner, she made her way in search of Liu Dongmei, but Liu Huiling stopped her.


    "Lihua, you don''t need to go and find Dongmei. She wouldn''t let anyone come near her work areas so don''t bother going there."


    "Really? Is what she is working on, very important?." Chen Lihua asked with doubt written all over her face.


    Liu Huiling saw the doubt on her face, but that wouldn''t make her let her get to the veranda, that would ruin the surprise Liu Dongmei was preparing for her, she wouldn''t allow that.


    "Okay. But Sister Ling, remind her to come and have dinner." Chen Lihua reminded before walking back to her room.


    As her head hit her pillow, she slept off till the next morning, and she had to rush into the bathroom first thing in the morning because she was pressed.


    Coming out of the bathroom after washing up, she saw Liu Longwei in the bedroom.


    "Good morning, I thought you must have gone to work by this time." She said to him in surprise.


    "No, I wanted to see my beautiful wife and spend a quiet morning with her." Liu Longwei replied as he walked towards her.


    "Liar, you have dressed already, what''s with the wait?." Chen Lihua asked as she evaded his open arms to go and sit on the bed.


    "I''m serious. I decided to get dressed and wait for you, is it bad?." Liu Longwei asked as he walked to the bed and sat beside her.


    "Okay, I believe you." Chen Lihua said as she rested her head on his shoulder.


    "How are you?." Liu Longwei asked as he rubbed her hair.


    "I''m fine."


    "What about the baby, did he disturb you last night?." Liu Longwei asked because he spent less time sleeping last night.


    "He disturbs a lot these days." Chen Lihua said as she caressed her baby bump with a mother''s love shown in her eyes.


    "I think he''s moving a lot these days because he can''t wait to be out." Liu Longwei said happily as he placed a hand on her abdomen.


    "Yeah, my delivery date is in a few weeks, maybe that''s the reason." Chen Lihua said as she smiled more.


    "Mmmm."


    "Darling, do well to come back from your business trip on time, so you will be in time to see our baby being delivered." Chen Lihua reminded carefully.


    "Don''t worry, I will be back a week before your delivery date." Liu Longwei promised as he hugged her shoulder.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua muttered in a soft tone.


    Two days later, Liu Dongmei left with her daughter and back to their home. But before she left, she gifted Chen Lihua to paintings.


    She wrapped and packaged them before giving them to her.


    "What is that?." Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "A present for you, open them later." Liu Dongmei said before walking away.


    After Liu Dongmei left, Chen Lihua finally found the opportunity to unwrap the gifts, there and then, two beautiful paintings stood before her as two servants held each of the big framed paintings for her to see.


    A gasp escaped from Chen Lihua''s lips as she covered her mouth with her hands. She was indeed shocked by the paintings.


    The first painting showed Liu Longwei standing behind her as they both hand their palms on her baby bump.


    Then the second frame showed just Chen Lihua with her two hands on her baby bump, as the beautiful smile and motherly love shown in her eyes.


    "Wow! This is...is. OMG!." Chen Lihua was left speechless. She didn''t even know what to feel, and the kind of emotions that were getting riled up deep inside of her.


    In no time, tears started to fall down her cheeks as a result of the outburst of emotions. She had to be supported as she sat on the couch in the living room.


    "Sister Mei..." Chen Lihua called out as overwhelming joy filled her heart. These paintings touched somewhere in her heart.


    Just then, Liu Huiling came in from outside and saw her crying. Next, her eyes moved to the paintings, and she immediately understood the reason.


    "Lihua, you don''t need to cry because of this little token from Dongmei. She painted this, to say thank you for the considerations you put in so she can be comfortable in your home." Liu Huiling said as she approached her.


    "Sister Ling was this what she was working on a few days ago?." Chen Lihua inquired with her tear-stained face.


    "Yes, but there is no need to cry over it. How do you think Mei would feel if she finds out you cried because of the gifts she gave to you? She wouldn''t be happy, so wipe your tears." Liu Huiling said to her as she consoled her.


    Her words caused Chen Lihua to stop crying.


    Although Chen Lihua was touched because of the gifts, that was not enough reason to cry. But right now, she doesn''t seem to be in control of her emotions.


    Happy and sad occasions made her cry.


    After calming down, Chen Lihua had the paintings hanged in her bedroom as she kept admiring them all over again.


    Feeling satisfied, She texted Liu Dongmei to show appreciation of the gifts, instead of calling her line.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/two-paintings-for-a-gift_52015148830877597 for visiting.


    Liu Dongmei smiled as she read the long texts, Chen Lihua said to her. After reading it, she sent out her reply before closing her eyes.


    Just like that, another weekend came by, and Chen Lihua was determined to take an advantage of it. She wanted to visit Chynna at the mental asylum on this day.


    It''s a good thing she told Liu Longwei beforehand, and he allowed her to go.

 Chapter 445 - Visiting Chynna

    Just like that, another weekend came by, and Chen Lihua was determined to take an advantage of it. She wanted to visit Chynna at the mental asylum on this day.


    It''s a good thing she told Liu Longwei beforehand, and he allowed her to go.


    She didn''t go alone, she took Liu Huiling with her. From the shopping mall, they both went to the mental hospital together.


    "Your friend must be lucky to have a good friend like you." Liu Huiling said to Chen Lihua on their way to the hospital.


    "Not really. I feel the need to be good to my friend because she was there for me when everything was okay with her. But when things turned for the bad, I was nowhere to be found. I owe this, my friend, a lot." Chen Lihha said to her.


    "Still, you are a good friend. I don''t have friends anymore because when I got married, I became at arm''s length with them. I left them because I gave myself that tag of a married woman, so I pushed them away. My ex-husband wanted me to spend all the spare time I had with him and body else. And because I loved him and being blinded, I shut myself out, and now, I don''t have any friends." Liu Huiling said in a bitter tone.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she grabbed her hands and gazed into her eyes. "Sister Ling, the past is past, but there is still a present and a future, so you still have the opportunity to make new friends."


    Liu Huiling heaved a sigh. "Thank you Lihua, your words have an impact on me. I''m already looking forward to making new friends. It''s been a while since I experienced that feeling."


    "Making friends comes with a good feeling. You start up in a slow and steady mood. It''s quite easy though." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.


    Arriving at the mental hospital, Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling sat somewhere and waited for Chynna to be brought to them.


    When Chen Lihua saw Chynna from afar, she could tell there were positive changes in her emotions and her body.


    For example, she looked to have put on a lot of weight, and her face was glittering. She could read her emotions now.


    As Chynna approached them and saw Chen Lihua, she couldn''t hide the joy in her heart, so unconsciously, she walked faster towards them.


    Chen Lihua also got up from her seat with a smile on her face and a hand on her abdomen to wait for her.


    Since her baby bump started to show, Chen Lihua was now used to placing a hand on her baby bump whenever she was standing.


    When Chynna was close enough, she enveloped her in a hug.


    "Lihua, I missed you," Chynna confessed as she hugged her gently with her eyes closed.


    "I missed you too, Chynna. I''m sorry for making you wait." Chen Lihua said in apology.


    Chynna released her from the hug as she said, "Honestly, I thought I would never see you again because you didn''t tell me you wouldn''t for some weeks."


    "Oh my! I''m so sorry, it wouldn''t happen again, I promise." Chen Lihua said to jer.


    "Okay," Chynna said before her eyes traveled to her abdomen.

    "Yeah. Come let me introduce you to my sister-in-law." Chen Lihua said as she pulled her towards Liu Huiling.


    "She''s beautiful and she looks quiet," Chynna whispered to her before they approached Liu Huiling.


    "Really, is she?." Chen Lihua teased with a smile on her face.


    Before Chynna could arrive, they have already come face to face with Liu Huiling who was already standing.


    "Hello! I''m Liu Huiling." Liu Huiling said introducing herself as she stretched forth her hand in a handshake.


    Chynna took her hand with a smile on her face as she introduced herself. "Hello! I''m Chynna."


    After they exchanged greetings, Chen Lihua chuckled softly as she said.


    "Sister Ling, just now, Chynna said you are beautiful and you look calm.


    Chynna feigned anger as she looked glared at Chen Lihua, but then, Liu Huiling interrupted her.


    Liu Huiling smiled as she gazed at her, "Thank you!." Only then did Chynna smile.


    Chen Lihua brought home-cooked for her as usual, so the three of them ate together as they made small talks.


    "Chynna, I will not be able to come and see you again before you are released. My delivery date is close, and my doctor would not allow me to travel this far to see you. So, I think we would see after I give birth." Chen Lihua announced.


    Chynna felt bad, but then she cheered up for she would be out soon.


    "Okay, I will see you then, you and the baby." She said to her.


    "Thank you for understanding. And your house is ready. I will send someone to pick you up on the day you sign out from this place. I also got a life coach for you. After taking classes, you can then decide if you want to go back to school or not." Chen Lihua explained.


    Chynna was grateful for all of these arrangements, so she held Chen Lihua''s hands as she said, "Thank you for all that you do for me, I appreciate them a lot. I will make sure to repay you later in the future."


    "Chynna, I''m not doing all these for you to repay me okay? So don''t ever feel that you are indebted to me. I want you to relax and enjoy life." Chen Lihua said as she placed her free hand on top of her own hands.


    "Lihua, you don''t know what you''ve done for me. When my family abandoned me, you came and picked me up. Your family had been taking care of my bills for years. And now you came and are already transforming my life. With all of these, my life is already indebted to you." Chynna said as her eyes glistened with tears


    "Chynna do not say that, you don''t owe me your life. If I were in your shoes, know you would be there for me." Chen Lihua said as she stopped her.

 Chapter 446 - Stay with me

    "Chynna does not say that, you don''t owe me your life. If I were in your shoes, I know you would be there for me." Chen Lihua said as she stopped her.


    "Okay, see you soon," Chynna said as she bid her farewell.


    Two days later, Lady Chen and Madam Liu came over to stay in preparation for Chen Lihua''s delivery.


    Chen Lihua was already in her eight months, and there were only about three to four weeks left before her delivery date.


    Liu Longwei would be embarking on his business trip in three days, so he has been very busy.


    Right now, Chen Lihua was already missing him even though he hasn''t traveled yet. And this is added to the fact that Liu Longwei has been scarce these days. Chen Lihua hardly saw his brake light.


    He leaves home early every morning just before Chen Lihua wakes, and arrives late at night just before dinner, then he goes into his study to work and comes to sleep past midnight.


    Chen Lihua didn''t like his busy schedule, but what can she do about it.


    Although she manages to get a glimpse of him every day, she still felt so lonely not conversing with him.


    They don''t spend quality time together anymore.


    The night before Liu Longwei left, he made an intense love for Chen Lihua.


    As he breathed rapidly, he said, "I just hope it is enough to induce your labor when the time comes."


    Chen Lihua whose eyes were closed immediately shut open. "We didn''t have s.e.x because you wanted to sleep with me, but because to induce my labor?."


    Liu Longwei noticed that she was hungry, so he immediately made his intention known.


    "No...no that''s not what I meant. I wanted to sleep with you. Then for your labor, I will not be around from tomorrow for us to keep having s.e.x, so I''m worried that we didn''t have s.e.x enough."


    Chen Lihua relaxed in his arms as she shut her eyes, satisfied with his reply.


    Usually, Chen Lihua slept early, but this night, she was still awake and chatting with Liu Longwei.


    Her husband was traveling tomorrow, and she will not get to see him till some weeks later, so she wanted to utilize the opportunity she had now.


    When Chen Lihua came to her wit''s end for she was far too tired to continue keeping her eyes open, she said to Liu Longwei, "Make sure to wake me before you leave the house in the morning."


    "Okay." Liu Longwei said in reply.


    Initially, he didn''t plan to wake her up in the morning, because he didn''t want to disturb her sleep. But now that she has already given her instruction, he would be looking for trouble if he didn''t obey her.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he watched Chen Lihua sleep peacefully in her arms. He kissed her forehead before gently placing her head on the pillow.


    Next, he got up and went into the bathroom. He came out a few minutes later with a bowl and a small towel to wipe Chen Lihua''s body.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/stay-with-me_52020777670729370 for visiting.


    When he was done wiping her body, he dressed her before placing a small pillow between her knees to support her body weight.


    Now satisfied, he returned to the bathroom with the things in his hands before coming out to lie next to her on the bed.


    Just like Chen Lihua''s wish, Liu Longwei didn''t leave for his trip without her knowledge in the morning.


    But instead of waking her up, he got dressed and sat on the couch in the bedroom with a business magazine in hand, as he patiently waited for her to wake up on her own.


    Thirty minutes later, Chen Lihua woke up from sleep. And when she did awake, she knew she didn''t wake up on time.


    Now thinking that Liu Longwei had already left without informing her, her heart was embittered as her face became dull.


    At this point, she felt rejected, so she slowly sat up and raised her head as she buried her face between her palms.


    But just then, she heard a family voice, so she raised her face to glance towards his direction with a surprised gaze.


    "You are awake?." Liu Longwei who just emerged from the bathroom asked.


    "You''re still here?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "You thought I left without informing you?." Liu Longwei asked as he approached her.


    "Mmmm" Chen Lihua hummed in response as she watched him take her hands in his.


    "Since I already promised you last night, there is no way I would have left without informing you. Is that why your face is not looking too good?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yes. I think you''re already so late for the trip. Would you be able to meet up with time?." Chen Lihua asked worriedly.


    Because she was the reason he was late, she has every right to be worried. She didn''t want to bring him trouble in any way at all.


    "Yeah, I will be able to meet up. There would be an important meeting tomorrow morning, so I wanted to settle in on time today in preparation for the meeting.


    "Oh, Okay! Let''s hurry since you are late already." Chen Lihua said as they stood up from the bed immediately.


    Liu Longwei was taking his private jet for this trip. He wasn''t going to its location with any car, he was going in a helicopter.


    So hand in hand, Chen Lihua, and Liu Longwei got to the rooftop where the helicopter had already landed on the helipad and was waiting.


    Chen Lihua hugged Liu Longwei, in fact, she didn''t want to let go at first.


    "Do you want to follow me, I can make provisions for you?". Liu Longwei asked as she relaxed on his shoulder and held onto his shirt.


    "No, stay with me." Chen Lihua said childish tone.


    Liu Longwei sighed as held her shoulder and said, "Alright, let''s go in, I will stay with you."


    Thinking that he was serious because of his facial expression, she said to him...

 Chapter 447 - Liu Longwei leaves for his business trip

    "No, stay with me." Chen Lihua said childish tone.


    Liu Longwei sighed as held her shoulder and said, "Alright, let''s go in, I will stay with you."


    Thinking that he was serious because of his facial expression, she said to him.


    "No...no don''t, I''m fine. You can go for your trip, I''ll be waiting for you." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "You''re sure?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Even I don''t know what is going on in his mind at this moment ????


    "Yes. Seriously, don''t leave that important trip for me. The baby and I would be waiting for your return. Then together, we would welcome the baby." Chen Lihua said.


    Just then, Lady Chen, Madam Liu, and Liu Huiling arrived at the rooftop.


    Chen Lihua stood by the side as she was supported by Lady Chen and Liu Huiling while Liu Longwei went to meet his mother.


    "Longwei, have a safe trip. But remember that your wife is heavily pregnant and she might put to bed before the delivery date. This is your first child together, you should be around. But if things don''t turn out so well, don''t push yourself, because we will be here to take care of Lihua." Madam Liu said to him in a kind reminder.


    "Mum, I will try my best to be here before she gives birth." Liu Longwei replied in a low tone.


    "Good." Madam Liu said as a smile turned up on her lips while patting his hands.


    Liu Longwei said goodbye to them and walked straight to his wife to hug her.


    While still in an embrace, Liu Longwei kissed her lips, and then her forehead before letting go.


    He caressed her baby bump and spoke to the baby, "Son, I''ll be right back, just hold on for a while.


    Then he turned to look at Chen Lihua. "Sweetheart takes care of yourself, your husband will back soon."


    He said this while patting her head.


    As he made a move to go into the helicopter whose engine just started running, Chen Lihua held his arm back.


    They gazed at each other for three seconds before Chen Lihua spoke up.


    "I hope that everything will go on we''ll at your side and that you will the bids and the contracts. The projects too will be going on fine. I''ll be praying for you."


    A smile turned up on Liu Longwei''s face as he replied, "I will pray for you and the baby as well."


    After saying this part, he turned around and left.


    Chen Lihua and the rest of the family watched him enter the helicopter ???? and leave in it.


    Chen Lihua''s heart was going through different turmoil now, that she didn''t even know she was crying.


    "Lihua dear, don''t cry, Longwei would be back before you know it." Madam Liu consoled her.


    ''Crying?.'' Chen Lihua asked herself as she brought two fingers to her cheeks.


    She saw real tears in her fingers, and she rubbed them together.


    "Lihua doesn''t worry, Brother would be back soon. Although it''s partly my fault that he has been so busy these days and didn''t have time to spend with you. He has been working for two, for himself and me since he allowed me to take a long break." Liu Huiling explained.


    "No sister Ling, I will never blame you for this." Chen Lihua said to her.


    "If you don''t blame me, then come one, let''s go and have breakfast." Liu Huiling said as she gently grabbed her hand and walked away from the rooftop and their mothers followed after them.


    Because of the joyful mood they put her in during breakfast, Chen Lihua didn''t feel weary anymore.


    After breakfast, she took a walk with her mother.


    "Lady Chen, how is the company doing? You know you can go to work in the morning and come back to stay with me in the evening." Chen Lihua reminded her.


    Lady Chen chuckled softly as she replied, "It''s been a while since you addressed me as Lady Chen, but I''m fine with whatsoever you all me. The company is doing great now your father and I and are working together. About going to the office, I chose not to go today because Longwei would be leaving today."

    A grateful smile turned up on Chen Lihua''s lips as she said, "Thank you, Mum. Mum, you need to teach me somethings, majorly about what happens during labor."


    "I thought you must have been thought that during one of your antenatal classes?." Lady Chen asked as she wondered in surprise.


    "Everyone''s experiences are always different from each other, so I want to hear and learn from the different experiences. Sister Huiling and mother can also join in the discussion, it will be so much fun listening to your different experiences during labor." Chen Lihua said excitedly.


    "Alright...alright, I can see how excited you are already." Lady Chen said in agreement as a smile bloomed on her face.


    After taking a walk, Chen Lihua notified her mother-in-law and Liu Huiling of her plans before the discussion class started.


    The four women talked for more than three hours because the topic they discussing was quite an interesting and complex one, so they didn''t know when time went by.


    "First labor is always the longest and the most painful because that''s your first child we are talking about. It''s the first time something that sizeable is coming out from there, so you don''t expect it to be easy." Lady Chen said.


    "But sometimes in few cases, some women do not experience long or painful labor the first time." Madam Liu said to encourage.


    "Wow! I guess it''s not easy to have a child then. That means getting into labor and childbirth is not easy. I never knew it wasn''t that easy." Chen Lihua said in devastation.


    "Don''t worry, everything will be fine, we are just sharing some experiences with you. My first labor wasn''t long though, but I acted funny because of the contractions. I almost pulled my clothes because I wasn''t myself." Liu Huiling said as she chuckled softly.


    Chen Lihua glanced at Liu Huiling and then at her two mothers before laughing hard.


    So she said while laughing as she pointed her finger at Liu Huiling.


    "Sister Ling you? You almost pulled your clothes off?."


    Chen Lihua was indeed shocked by this revelation because she has always seen Liu Huiling be the classy type and one who thought things through before acting.


    But what was this she was hearing? She almost went n.a.k.e.d during labor?


    ''For Sister Ling to have wanted to off her clothes, then this labor wasn''t a simple one.'' Chen Lihua concluded in her mind.

 Chapter 448 - Thinking of their future

    As the time for Chen Lihua''s delivery date was fast approaching, Liu Huiling and Liu Dongmei had to make emergency travel to go and help Liu Longwei out, as there was indeed a company emergency.


    Liu Dongmei is the Chief Designer of the Liu group, so she was supposed to make that trip with Liu Longwei.


    But since the company had another important business deal in the country, Liu Dongmei had to stay back and take care of it.


    Now that she was done, she needed to go and meet Liu Longwei to help out because the workload on his shoulder was much.


    A day before she decided to embark on the trip, she called Liu Huiling on phone.


    "Huiling, why don''t you come with me? Brother is handling your job and his at the same time. You know this is a very important contract, and he doesn''t trust anyone but you to do an excellent job. Now he asked you to rest, the workload on him will be much."


    "I''ve actually thought about it. There is no need to cry over split milk. I can''t let my past affect my future. The baby is gone, and it''s gone forever. I''ve been thinking that if the baby was meant to stay, it wouldn''t leave without notice." Liu Huiling sighed.


    "I know you are still grieved over what has happened to you, but it''s good if you forget it soon or it will affect you. No bastard is worth your tears okay?." Liu Dongmei encouraged.


    "I know. I''m just pained over the loss of my child. Well, it''s my fault. I think the baby noticed I wasn''t happy with it coming into this world, so it chose to leave." Liu Huiling said in a bitter tone.


    "Huiling, why are you talking like this?." Liu Dongmei asked worriedly.


    She has always known this sister of hers to be a strong woman, but what was going on with her now?


    "I didn''t cherish the baby before. I was angry when I found out I was pregnant because of the problems I had with Zhang Wei. Then after talking with you, I accepted the fact that I was pregnant and needed to accept the child. So I started making plans on how to reconcile with Zhang Wei, but things got out of hand." Liu Huiling said sorrowfully.


    "Huiling don''t tell me you regret Parting ways with that bastard? Huiling, even the baby could not accept the fact that you wanted to go back to that shameless man, so it chose to leave, so it''s not your fault in any way. You shouldn''t dwell on these matters anymore, it''s disheartening." Liu Dongmei advised.


    "Alright. We would head out tomorrow morning. I just hope we will be back in time to see Lihua deliver her child." Liu Huiling said.


    Liu Dongmei finally relaxed as she assured her, "We will return early since our going will be fruitful and make work easier."


    "Alright, see you tomorrow then." Liu Huiling said.


    After the call, Liu Huiling told her mother and Chen Lihua of her plans, and they encouraged her to go ahead.


    Initially, they were worried about her and wanted her to go sightseeing, or do anything that would make her happy again, and keep her from thinking about the past.


    Now traveling quite some distance away for work is a good thing, at least work could distract jer for now.


    At night, Liu Huiling packed her bags as she talked with her little girls.


    "Mum, are you going off to somewhere just like Dad?." Little Apple asked with an expectant look on her face.


    At the mention of ''Dad'', Liu Huiling pause in her actions, but later continued as if nothing happened.


    "I''m going on a business trip, but I will be back before you know it okay?."


    "But mum, we will miss you so much," Cherry said as she gazed at her mother with her eyes shining brightly.


    Liu Huiling put the last clothe in her bag before zipping them. Then she Squats as placed her hands on Cherry''s shoulders.


    "Mum will miss you girls too, but I will be back in a few days. But till then, you two have to be well behaved like the way Mama thought you. Stay with Aunt Lihua till I''m back, but do not give her troubles okay?."


    "Okay, Mummy!." The two girls chorused together in their lively voices.


    "Good girls." Liu Huiling said as a smile appeared on her face as she gently rubbed their hair.


    "Mum, the baby in Aunt Hua''s tummy is so cute?." Little Apple said as she gestured with her hands.


    "Really? How do you know that?." Liu Huiling asked with much interest as she sat on the bed and gazed into her daughter''s eyes.


    "He plays with us each time we call out to him," Cherry replied happily.


    Liu Huiling became very much confused. How did they manage to play with a baby that''s not yet been born?


    Seeing the confusion written all over their mother''s face, they knew that she was in desperate need of an answer, so they hurried to explain how they play with Chen Lihua''s unborn child.


    "I see. But do not play with the baby a lot, you will be disturbing your Aunt, got it?." Liu Huiling instructed.


    "Okay, Mum!." The girls chorused again.


    That night, Liu Huiling didn''t allow them to return to their bedroom after dinner. She took them to her bedroom.


    Instead of calling on their nanny to wash their bodies, she bathes them by herself and got them dressed, before assisting them up to the bed.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/thinking-of-their-future_52065428402394752 for visiting.


    She read a new story from a new storybook for them and watched them doze off.


    Liu Huiling quietly kept the book aside and turned off the lights before covering their bodies with the duvet.


    "Good night my beautiful angels." Liu Huiling said as she kissed their foreheads.


    After that, Liu Huiling laid on her side with her back on the bed and her eyes life upwards, as she became lost in thought, probably thinking about her and her children''s future.

 Chapter 449 - Changying comes bearing gifts

    Few days after Liu Huiling traveled, Changying, Chen Lihua''s cousin called her to know how she was faring.


    After speaking on the phone with her, Changying promised to come visiting the next day, and she did come by.


    Chen Lihua was sitting close to the pool when she came by.


    "I haven''t seen you in ages, how have you been?." Chen Lihua asked as they hugged each other.


    Changying laid on the beach chair with a smile on her face.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/changying-comes-bearing-gifts_52066462700994234 for visiting.


    "I''ve been very busy with the company and stores. We are preparing to lunch a new clothing line this summer season." Changying revealed.


    "Wow! That''s big news. I would have been there to help you with publicity, but the baby is on the way. But I can still help with media publicity, I hope that''s okay?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "You don''t need to trouble yourself, I''m fine. You just need to live a carefree life these few days as the baby would be arriving soon." Changying said with a smile on her face.


    "Alright... alright. Let''s move to the living room, I can''t stand the sun anymore because I think it''s beginning to penetrate the sunglasses and into my eyeballs." Chen Lihua said as she tried to get up.


    Changying assisted her as they walked inside.


    "I got you some things, maybe the servants can take them in later," Changying said as they finally arrived inside.


    "You got something for me?." Chen Lihua asked with excitement on her face as Changying took a seat beside her after making sure she was relaxed.


    "Yes of course. Not just for you, I got something for your baby as well." Changying said in reply.


    "Quickly take them out, I want to take a look at them." Chen Lihua said as she gestured towards the servants before instructing them to go to Changying''s car and bring out the gifts she bought.


    Just then, Lady Chen and Madam Liu came downstairs, both were dressed and ready to go out with their sunshades.


    After Changying exchanged greetings with them, Chen Lihua gazed at them as she asked.


    "Going somewhere?."


    "Yes. We want to go for a little shopping to get you some other things you might need to be very comfortable with this period. You have almost exhausted your supplements and the ones remaining won''t last you till your due date." Lady Chen replied.


    "Were you planning to leave me at home all by myself if Changying didn''t come over?." Chen Lihua asked them in surprise.


    "No Lihua there, we would never leave you here all by yourself. We planned to go later in the evening when the children were back from school. But since you said Changying would be coming over in the afternoon, we decided to go shopping at this time." Madam Liu explained.


    "Okay. Please buy me some chocolates, I''ve been craving them since this morning." Chen Lihua pleaded.


    "No, I think that nuts would be better and healthier if you need your mouth to be busy." Lady Chen said as she walked out of the house with Madam Liu.


    "Seriously mum?!." Chen Lihua called out in a frustrated tone.


    "Yes desire!." Came Lady Chen''s reply.


    Chen Lihua face-palmed her forehead before speaking to the baby.


    "Baby, you have to come out quickly okay?."


    Her words got Changying laughing so hard.


    "You can''t take it anymore can you?." She asked.


    "This is not funny." Chen Lihua said as she gave her a threatening look.


    "Anyway, I got you some chocolates, as if I knew you would be craving them." Changing revealed.


    "What?! Like seriously? You got me chocolates?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise. There was only a thin line that stopped her from shrieking.


    "Yeah, I did," Changying replied, and just then, two servants returned with two shopping bags on each of their hands.


    "Please pass that bag to me," Changying instructed as she pointed at one of the shoo bags, and the servant immediately passed it to her.


    Chen Lihua smiled expectantly as she watched Changying take out a packet of some expensive foreign chocolate before passing it to her


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said as she took the chocolate from her before tearing the packet open. Then she put her hand inside the packet and picked one out before unwrapping it and throwing it into her mouth.


    "Mmmm." Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned as she ate the chocolate.


    "This is so good. I haven''t had any chocolates in a while now."


    "Still, you have to be careful with the quantity you eat each day. You know you are watching your weight and the baby''s as well, you don''t want your baby''s head stuck in-between your legs do you?." Changying teased with a fake serious expression on her face.


    Chen Lihua suddenly paused with chewing the chocolate in her mouth as she gazed at her. Then, she continued as if nothing happened.


    "I will just try not to eat more than five pieces every day." Chen Lihua declared.


    "No, not at all. If you''re going to eat five pieces everyday talk until you exhaust them, just hand the chocolate back to me." Changying said as she stretched her hand out in a bid to accept the chocolate from if she returned it.


    "There''s no way I''m returning this to you. If I try that, I will regret it. So, I will adjust my chocolate eating timetable to be 5 pieces in three or four days." Chen Lihua said.


    "I don''t agree with you, five pieces in a week. If not, I will report you to Aunt, and then she would have to seize the whole packet." Changying threatened.


    "Are you being serious right now?." Chen Lihua asked as she raised one of the unwrapped chocolates and showed it to her.


    "The chocolates are so small yet you want me to only eat five pieces in seven days?."


    "Yeas Sister Lihua. Apart from the chocolate, I got you some other healthy snacks and low-calorie content snacks as well." Changying said as she passed the whole bag to her.


    "Wow! Thank you!." Chen Lihua said gratefully as she peeped into the bag before putting it down.

 Chapter 450 - Labor Signs

    As weeks passed by, Chen Lihua had a week and few days before her delivery date, and she was living a good life.


    She was well taken care of by her two mothers. She was eating well, sleeping well, reading, resting, exercising, and having fun.


    Her mind was at ease as she has been speaking with Liu Longwei every day since he traveled.


    She was having leisure time to herself.


    Her Sisters-in-law back from their business trip, and they were currently keeping her company and taking the bed out on walks.


    Chen Lihua had expected to see Liu Longwei come home with them, so she was a little disappointed when she got his call and received some information from him.


    But then again, she became happy since he promised to be back in three days.


    All she needed to do was to wait patiently. It''s just three days, and that''s all it was.


    Each time Chen Lihua stared at her abdomen in the shower, she just imagined how a child would grow in there.


    These days, Chen Lihua could feel the weight of her baby pressing on her pelvic bones. Her baby is getting into position and ready to exit.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/labor-signs_52082985171738072 for visiting.


    Because of the baby''s new position of pressing on her pelvis and pushing down on her bladder, she has been more frequent in the bathroom (going for bathroom breaks more often).


    Her cervix has already started to dilate (open) and efface (thin out). At her weekly check-ups in the home stretch of her pregnancy, her doctor came over to run some tests, and measure and track dilation and effacement via an internal exam.


    Although Chen Lihua was having leisure time, she was not all that comfortable. As this was her first pregnancy, she normally felt some crampiness and pain in her lower back and groin as labor nears. Herr muscles and joints are stretching and shifting in preparation for birth.


    Liu Longwei wasn''t around to massage her back anymore so she had to manage. But when she couldn''t tolerate the pains, she had to report to her both mothers, and they offered to massage her back.


    Old Madam Liu invited herself over to come and take care of her granddaughter-in-law.


    She was good at massage, and Chen Lihua could attest to that. And this made her remember that Liu Longwei once told her that the old lady was in good in massage.


    These days, Chen Lihua could feel her joints start to feel looser.


    Throughout pregnancy, the hormone relaxin has made the ligaments loosen up a little (it''s also responsible for potential bouts of clumsiness this past trimester).


    (At this stage of pregnancy slightly before you go into labor, you may notice that the joints all over your body feel a bit less tight and more relaxed. It''s just nature''s way of opening up your pelvis for your little passenger to make his way into the world).


    Just as the muscles in Chen Lihua''s uterus are relaxing in preparation for birth, so too are other muscles in her body ¡ª including those in the rectum, and that can lead to diarrhea.


    That pesky labor symptom (symptoms of diarrhea) she may well have experienced at other times during pregnancy. Now, she was experiencing them in full swing.


    Chen Lihua found the particular labor sign to be so annoying, even though it was completely normal. But she made sure to follow her doctor''s advice to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water.


    When she complained a lot, her doctor said to her, "Mrs. Liu, it is completely normal, in fact, it is a good sign."


    That sentence made Chen Lihua speechless, she had nothing to say anymore.


    Weight gain often levels off at the very end of pregnancy. Some moms-to-be even lose a couple of pounds.


    This is normal and won''t affect the baby''s birth weight. He''s still gaining, but the mother is dropping due to lower levels of amniotic fluid, more bathroom breaks, and maybe even increased activity.


    When Chen Lihua learned from her doctor that it was nearly impossible for her or the baby to put on some weight at this last stage, she didn''t need to bother about watching her weight anymore, so she was happy.


    She started by finishing the packet of chocolate Changying bought for her. She didn''t forget to give some share to Cherry and Little Apple.


    When I said Chen Lihua has been having leisure time, this is what I meant...


    She feels extra tired or always had this urge to rest.


    That sized belly, along with her compressed bladder and other organs, can make it tricky to get a good night''s sleep during the last days and weeks of pregnancy. So, she followed her doctor''s advice a few months ago, advice to pile up those pillows and take naps when she could, and if at all possible.


    And she has been doing that.


    During this period, some moms get a burst of energy (also known as the nesting instinct) as their baby''s birthday nears, and can''t resist the compelling urge to clean and organize everything in sight.


    But that''s okay too, as long as they don''t overdo it!


    This happened to Chen Lihua after she went baby shopping with Liu Longwei.


    She made sure to organize everything they bought that day, and she didn''t feel tired or satisfied till she has everything in their right location.


    Today, just as Chen Lihua was getting ready to bathe, she noticed the loss of her mucus plug ¡ª the cork sealing off the uterus from the outside world. It can come out in one large piece (it looks similar to the mucus in one''s nose) or lots of little ones, though one may not get a glimpse of it at all and some women don''t lose it before delivery.


    These last days before labor, Chen Lihua observed an increased and/or thickened v.a.g.i.n.a.l discharge, and this thickened, pinkish discharge is called the bloody show and is a good indication that labor is imminent.


    (But without contractions or dilation of 3 to 4 centimeters, labor could still be a few days away).

 Chapter 451 - Dont tease me senseless

    Most expectant mothers feel stronger and more frequent contractions at this late stage.


    Contractions are an early sign of active labor ¡ª except when they aren''t. You can experience Braxton Hicks contractions (or "practice contractions") for weeks and even months before delivery. You''ll feel their pinch as the muscles in your uterus tighten in preparation for their big moment: pushing that baby out.


    How can you tell the difference between real and false labor contractions? Look for these signs of real labor:


    If you''re active, real contractions get stronger instead of easing up the way Braxton Hicks contractions do.


    If you change positions, labor contractions don''t go away but Braxton Hicks often does.


    Real contractions progress, becoming more frequent and more painful as time goes on, often falling into a regular pattern. Each one won''t necessarily be more painful or longer than the one before it, but the intensity tends to build over time as labor progresses. Frequency doesn''t always increase in a regular pattern, either, but it does gradually increase. Braxton Hicks contractions come and go without getting more intense over time.


    Early real labor contractions could feel like strong menstrual cramps, stomach upset, or lower abdominal pressure. Pain could be in the lower abdomen or both there and the lower back, and it could radiate down into the legs. The location of the pain isn''t as reliable an indicator of true vs. practice contractions, though, because Braxton Hicks contractions can also be felt in all those places.


    With all these, you can see that what Chen Lihua and other pregnant women out there go through, it''s not easy.


    But somehow, Chen Lihua was not complaining like before, because the days are shorter now, soon, she would be able to see and hold her son.


    "Sister Mei, why are you leaving in such a hurry?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    This was someone who just came back from a business trip two days ago, and came straight to see her, and now, she was leaving in a hurry.


    "Oh!." Liu Dongmei exclaimed as she walked back to where Chen Lihua was sitting and kissed her cheek.


    "I will be back in two days. I have something I need to settle at home, and it can''t wait." Liu Dongmei revealed.


    "At home...?." Chen Lihua asked as she trailed off.


    "Yeah, at home. If you know what I mean." Liu Dongmei said as she winked at her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/don''t-tease-me-senseless_52090454656732199 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua sat there with confusion written all over her face as she watched Liu Dongmei walk away.


    "Aiyah! I didn''t even get anything." Chen Lihua muttered to herself.


    But later after she had dwelled on the matter for a long time, she came to have an idea of what Liu Dongmei was referring to, but she wasn''t sure.


    If someone said she had something to settle at home but was still in the mood to send her winks and tease her, then there was no serious problem.


    Instead, something fishy was about to happen.


    Just like the idea that occurred in her head, Liu Dongmei was currently acting naughty with her husband.


    She went home because Mu Boqin asked her to come back home because he missed her.


    When she arrived, she went straight for their bedroom to see the lights dimly lit with fiery red rose petals on the floor and the bed.


    The rose petals were used to form a heart shape in the center of the white sheets. Then on the floor, candles and rose petals were used to form some love symbols.


    Soft music played as the colored lights illuminated the room and made it a romantic atmosphere.


    A smile bloomed on Liu Dongmei''s lips as she put her handbag on the floor and took off her heels.


    She could hear splashing water sound coming from the bathroom, so she smiled even more.


    Knowing that her husband was inside the bathroom, she opened the button of her shirt as she went into the washroom.


    My Boqin was already in the shower, stack n.a.k.e.d as the water flowed from the showerhead and onto his body.


    When he saw his wife, he smiled as he wiped his face with his hands.


    "Did you know I would be back by this time, so you got into the bathroom to wait for me?." dongmei asked with a seductive smile on her face as she undressed before him.


    "You are right, now come over here." My Boqin commanded as he stretched his hand to her.


    Lily Dongmei took his hand and climbed into the shower with him.


    "You called me home for s"*x?." Liu Dongmei asked as the water flowed on her body and as Mu Boqin caressed her body.


    "I called you home because I missed you, and also needed to recharge. I couldn''t bear being part of you for such a long time, I hope you understand." My Boqin said as he started to lather the sponge before sponging her body with it.


    "I missed you too. I almost couldn''t hold back, but because Lihua is not feeling too good since her due date was fast approaching, I decided to stay with her for a little while longer." Liu Dongmei confessed.


    The two of them sponge each other''s back as they teased themselves.


    When Mu Boqin was done wiping her body, he lifted her and carried her into the room.


    "You know, I not only missed you, but I also missed your body. Now we are going to have mad fun." Mu Boqin declared as he laid her on the bed before cuffing her hands to the bedpost with two handcuffs.


    Liu Dongmei chuckled excitedly as she said to him, "I had no idea you are this naughty. Well, we haven''t played this in a while, so I''m sure it would be fun. But don''t tease me senseless.


    "We will see about that." Mu Bowin said as he lowered his face to capture her lips with his mouth.


    He kissed her hard as he fondles her b.r.e.a.s.ts.


    "Widen your legs." He commanded in a low voice with his hand still on her b.r.e.a.s.t.


    Liu Dongmei obeyed him and opened her legs for him as she breathed heavily.


    Just now, they kissed themselves greedily as they couldn''t get enough of each other...

 Chapter 452 - Did I Say Something Wrong?

    After having uninterrupted fun for two days, Liu Dongmei came back to see Chen Lihua. And this time around, she took more clothes with her.


    Chen Lihua has been experiencing labor signs for some weeks now, and as the days to the delivery date become shorter, the signs become more obvious.


    There was a time, Chen Lihua had an uncontrollable rise in blood pressure, actually, it has occurred two major times.


    So her doctor gave her some instructions and some procedures to follow.


    The last test run on her showed that she was perfectly normal, but her doctor still gave more advice to prevent any funny incident during labor.


    Well, the cause of the rise in her blood pressure wasn''t known, the source is still uncovered. But the doctor suspected that she must have gone through some experiences that caused the rise in blood pressure, and maybe it wasn''t discovered and treated on time.


    Like her near kidnapping incident, and the experience in the Maldives, and other little incidents.


    But for a person with normal blood pressure to suddenly begin to experience high blood pressure, it wasn''t normal.


    And in a while now, Chen Lihua has not shown signs of increased blood pressure.


    Right now, Chen Lihua could feel that her baby was ready to come into the world because she has been experiencing contractions lately.


    At first, she didn''t know they were contractions until she mentioned something about how she was feeling, and that was how her mothers contacted her doctor.


    Her doctor came over to check on her, and truly, she was experiencing contractions.


    "Congratulations Mrs. Liu, your baby can''t wait to come into the World. You are experiencing contractions, and that means labor is not far. But sometimes, you can experience continual contractions for more than a week, but it all depends. For now, just continue to monitor the contractions and the time intervals before the next contraction, and give me feedback. I will drop by later today." The doctor said.


    "If labor is close, shouldn''t I be set to deliver since I''m already having contractions?." Chen Lihua questioned in confusion.


    "It doesn''t normally go that way, Mrs. Liu. Your contractions are not regular yet. So till they are regular, the baby is not ready yet." The doctor said in reply.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "When are you coming back?." Madam Liu who was in the delivery room with Chen Lihua and Lady Chen asked the doctor.


    The doctor glanced at her wristwatch before replying.


    "I should be back around 4 PM today, I have to tidy up the rest of my work, and then, I will come back with two nurses."


    "Till then Mrs. Liu, please take care." The doctor said to Chen Lihua before leaving.


    Standing up from the bed on her own was no longer an easy task, so her mothers had to help her.


    After the doctor left, Old Madam Liu advised Chen Lihua.


    "Lihua my child, now that you''re having contractions, don''t sit at a place. Take walks and do your usual exercises, it helps a lot. Who knows, you might be going into actual labor tomorrow."


    "Okay, Grandma." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua was happy with this news. She has been expecting her child, and could not wait for him to be delivered. She could hardly wait to hold her child in her arms.


    Apart from feeling happy, she was starting to become tense.


    ''That means, I might get to hold my child tomorrow, or even in a few days. Child, come out soon, Your father and I have waited for a long time.''


    She and Liu Longwei have been waiting for their child, ''That''s right, Liu Longwei, I need to tell him the good news''. Chen Lihua thought as the smile on her face bloomed.


    Old Madam Liu smiled from the side as she watched Chen Lihua''s facial expression change within minutes.


    Just as Chen Lihua picked up her phone to call Liu Longwei, Madam Liu called her over from the dining area.


    Madam Liu was calling her to come and eat.


    "You''re already showing signs of labor, so you need to eat well to have the energy to push the baby out." Lady Chen said to her as they served her soup and some side dishes.


    "This time around, you have to finish the food." Madam Liu instructed kindly.


    "Okay, Mum." Chen Lihua replied as she picked up her spoon to get a taste of the soup.


    Not quite long after Her mothers left her side, Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling came to her side.


    They were just coming back from the office, they went to make some arrangements for Liu Longwei''s arrival.


    "Lihua, we heard the good news, keep it up. Soon you will be a mother." Liu Huiling said as she took a seat at her right hand, while Liu Dongmei said at her left side.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua replied as she couldn''t hide the joy in her heart.


    "It would have been super better if Brother was here to help you out so the baby come faster." Liu Dongmei said as a teasing smile appeared on her face.


    "How would he be of help to me, I just need to push the baby out on my own." Chen Lihua replied as she sent half spoon of rice into her mouth without understanding the point.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling exchanged glances, and then they chuckled at the same time, but Liu Dongmei''s voice was louder since she was without restraint.


    Chen Lihua glanced at them in surprise with the look that says, ''Did I say something wrong?.''


    "Oh, Lihua! Why are you so innocent?." Liu Dongmei questioned without hiding the fact that she was amused.


    "If Brother was here, he would have helped you to induce labor through s.e.x." Liu Dongmei finally revealed to her what she meant.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/did-i-say-something-wrong_52105221811264373 for visiting.


    "Oh, that? He has done that already." Chen Lihua said without a care as she drank from her bowl her soup.


    Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling choked on the vegetable in their mouth.


    They never expected this kind of reply from Chen Lihua in any way, they didn''t see this coming.


    Chen Lihua glanced at them in confusion with the same thought, ''Did I say something wrong again?.''

 Chapter 453 - Contractions

    They never expected this kind of reply from Chen Lihua in any way, they didn''t see this coming.


    Chen Lihua glanced at them in confusion with the same thought, ''Did I say something wrong again?.'' Forgetting the content she just revealed to them.


    As if she was struck by lightning, she finally came back to her senses.


    ''Did  I just reveal to them that Longwei and I had s.e.x to induce my labor?.''


    With that thought, she raised her head to glance at her two Sisters-in-law that were staring at her in surprise.


    Now with a guilty conscience, she immediately lowered her head and sent a spoonful of rice into her mouth, just in case they wanted to ask her any question.


    But obviously, She wouldn''t be able to answer them since her mouth was full.


    Just then, Madam Liu was passing by, but when she saw Chen Lihua struggling to eat the with her mouth so full, she hurriedly came to her side and picked up a plate and moved towards her mouth.


    "Lihua, throw out the food, it''s too much for you to eat at once. Throw it out before you choke on it." Madam Liu instructed with a grave expression on her face.


    Chen Lihua obeyed her instruction and threw out the food immediately.


    "Even if you''re so hungry, don''t eat like that." Madam Liu chided her before turning to her two daughters to ask.


    "And what were you two doing when your sister-in-law nearly choked on the food? I can very well see how you two are taking care of her." Madam Liu said, emphasizing the word, ''Care.''


    ''What? We were the ones who choked on our food okay?.'' Liu Dongmei said voicelessly.


    After scolding them, Madam Liu took the plate in her hand into the kitchen and returned with a tray of food in her hands.


    Next, she placed the food in front of her daughters.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/contractions_52106080821495215 for visiting.


    "Hold on Mum, why is our food different from the one Lihua is eating?." Liu Dongmei asked just as Madam Liu turned to go back into the kitchen.


    Madam Liu scoffed as she rolled her eyes at her before walking away without saying anything.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Huiling chuckled softly at Liu Dongmei''s weak facial expression.


    Suddenly, Chen Lihua''s face squeezed up in a frown.


    "Lihua, what is it?." Liu Dongmei asked with worry written all over her face. Liu Huiling also looked up.


    "It''s the cramp, it suddenly got stronger." Chen Lihua said as her face remained in a frown.


    "Aww... Sorry. Finish your food and take walks." Liu Huiling suggested.


    "No, I can''t eat anymore." Chen Lihua said as she bit her lips and dropped her spoon.


    "Lihua relax okay." Liu Dongmei said as she rubbed her back.


    "Take deep breaths." Liu Huiling instructed, and Chen Lihua followed.


    After some seconds, she sighed in relief because the contraction relaxed.


    "I don''t like this contraction at all, it hurts like menstrual cramps. And I don''t like pain." Chen Lihua said with an annoyed look.


    "Well, if you don''t have contractions, your baby isn''t coming out." Liu Dongmei clarified.


    "Wow." Chen Lihua exclaimed and shut her eyes.


    "When will your doctor be back? Because I think she should be here." Liu Huiling asked.


    "She went to the hospital to settle some matters, she will back in the evening." Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "That''s fine. Your water hasn''t broken yet, so you can relax, and the contractions are still not steady. Actually, this is just the first stage of contraction. When the real contraction comes, even this house will not contain you." Liu Dongmei said as she drank from the water glass.


    Chen Lihua looked shocked to hear this. During her antenatal classes, the doctors didn''t tell them that, or more like they didn''t use that word. They made it seem like it wasn''t painful and that everything was going to be alright.


    "Dongmei!." Liu Huiling called out as she glared at her.


    "Lihua sorry about that, but I just wanted to let you know what''s going to happen soon." Liu Dongmei said and rushed out of the dining area because Liu Huiling was already looking for something to throw on her.


    "Lihua don''t mind her okay? She is just teasing you. But, indeed, the real contraction hasn''t come because the contraction you are experiencing now is not steady. Contractions don''t hurt like hell, it''s just normal period cramps that you always get through. So, you will get through this one before you know it." Liu Huiling said in a kind tone.


    "Thank you, Sister Ling." Chen Lihua said.


    "You''re welcome. Now, finish your food. Then we can take walks together while you talk to your baby. He can hear you, and he is ready to come out, so he will listen to you. You can ask him to be obedient." Liu Huiling pointed out.


    "Yes, that''s right. I will ask him not to be stubborn and come out quickly when the time comes. He always listens to me, except he wants my attention. But I hope he wouldn''t want my attention at the wrong time." Chen Lihua said as her face scrunched up in a frown.


    Liu Huiling chuckled softly while patting her back. "Don''t worry, the baby wouldn''t be in the mood to play. He would want to come out quickly to see and hear his mother''s voice, that sweet voice he had been listening to from the w.o.m.b."


    "I hope so." Chen Lihua said with her eyes filled with hope as she caressed her w.o.m.b.


    Liu Huiling watched over as she finished her meal, before taking her hand and walking to the living room.


    "Do you want to take a walk outside, or do you want to do that here, because the sun is out, and it can burn you. You had a heat stroke the last time you basked in the sun." Liu Huiling said.


    "I will start from here, then we will go outside, maybe later in the evening, I don''t want to hug my bay with a toasted skin." Chen Lihua joked.

    "I will start from here, then we will go outside, maybe later in the evening, I don''t want to hug my baby with toasted skin." Chen Lihua joked.


    "Alright." Liu Huiling said as she chuckled softly before guiding her."


    After about twenty minutes, Chen Lihua decides to take a rest in the living room.


    Now, Liu Dongmei had joined them already.


    "My stomach is not going down soon, I thought the contractions would help." Chen Lihua muttered in a low tone as she caressed her abdomen.


    "Your contractions are too far apart, so it can''t go down so soon. Your baby repositioned, but he hasn''t started moving downwards I think." Liu Huiling said.


    "Sister-in-law, did you go for your antenatal classes?." Liu Dongmei questioned.


    "Yeah, but they don''t tell everything." Chen Lihua replied, knowing her reason for asking.


    "Have you called Brother to inform him you would be having the baby soon?. Liu Dongmei inquired as that thought crossed her mind.


    "Oh no! I forgot about it. I will make the call now." Chen Lihua said as she picked up her phone.


    At the second ring, Liu Longwei answered the call.


    "Sweetheart?." He called out in a low tone, as his face turned up in a smile.


    "Darling, how are you?." Chen Lihua asked with a happy smile on her face.


    "I''m good. What about you and the baby, how are you doing?." Liu Longwei asked as he relaxed comfortably on the seat.


    "We are doing great. Our baby is on his way, he doesn''t want to wait till his due date." Chen Lihua revealed.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/something-goes-wrong-i-bad-signs_52111715533378267 for visiting.


    "What?! You are having the baby earlier than expected?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    "Yes. The contractions have increased in pace. Longwei, I can''t wait to hold our baby in my arms." Chen Lihua said shyly.


    "Don''t worry, soon. I''m on my way back home, wait for my return." Liu Longwei announced.


    "Are you on the jet already?." Chen Lihua asked with a look of amazement on her face.


    "Yes. I should be home around evening." Liu Longwei replied with a slight chuckle.


    He could tell his wife missed him and was happy he was on his way home.


    "Wow! That''s great! We will all be waiting for you, have a safe trip back home " Chen Lihua said to him excitedly.


    "See you soon, I love you." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "I love you..." Chen Lihua declared before terminating the call.


    "Is Brother on his way home?." Liu Huiling asked as Liu Dongmei looked on in surprise.


    "Yes. He would be home in the evening." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Aiyah! See how happy you are. Now that Brother would arrive in the evening, I think he would be able to help you induce the labor if you want the child to come out quickly." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Yes, I would lady accept his help." Chen Lihua said with her eyes shut with a finger massaging her temples.


    "Do you have a headache?." Liu Huiling asked worriedly.


    "Yeah. After walking around for a bit, I felt out of breath as the headache started little by little." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "Come, I will massage your temples for you." Liu Huiling said as she went behind her and placed a few of her fingers on her temples and began to massage it.


    "I think you are worked up, rest for a bit before you do any other thing." Liu Dongmei advised from the side.


    Just then, Madam Liu came to meet them inside the living room. She saw Chen Lihua''s eyes shut as her temples were being massaged by Liu Huiling.


    Thinking she was asleep, Madam Liu whispered in a soft tone, "Does she have a headache?."


    "Mmmm." Liu Dongmei hummed in reply while Liu Huiling nodded.


    "Okay." Madam Liu replied softly as she checked the tome from her wristwatch.


    "Notify me if the headaches don''t stop, if it increases after fifteen minutes I will have to contact her doctor." Madam Liu instructed before leaving.


    "Lihua, are you okay?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "Mmmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply with her eyes still shut.


    "Sister Mei, can you turn on the Tv, I want to watch something to distract my mind, I''m getting disturbed, I''m having this uneasy feeling." Chen Lihua said as she opened her eyes.


    "There is no need to worry, okay? Everything will be fine." Liu Huiling said to her as she continued to massage her temples.


    "Do you want me to lose the updo, maybe the headaches will be less." Liu Huiling suggested.


    "No, I will be more uncomfortable with the long hair flowing behind me. The updo hairstyle doesn''t hurt, and the headaches are not coming from that part." Chen Lihua replied and heaved a sigh thereafter.


    Liu Huiling continued pressing on her temples as she said, "Okay. Tell me if the headaches get worse, or if you have any other discomfort."


    When the Tv came on, Chen Lihua got Liu Huiling to stop with the massage even though she was still experiencing some headaches.


    She now had her eyes glued to the Tv as she watched a Tv series.


    Thirty minutes into the movie, Chen Lihua couldn''t still anymore. She just stood to her feet and took little steps ???? away from the sofa.


    "Where are you going to?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "I feel like throwing up." Chen Lihua replied as she continued walking away without turning back.


    "You feel like throwing up?." Liu Huiling asked as she glanced at Liu Dongmei.


    "Mmmm." Chen Lihua replied, then she suddenly stopped in her steps as she placed a few fingers on her throbbing head.


    Liu Huiling noticed something was wrong and immediately hurried towards her, and she was in time to catch her.


    "Lihua?!." Liu Huiling cried out in alarm. This was no longer funny.


    "It''s nothing, serious Sister Ling, I just felt slightly dizzy." Chen Lihua said as she held unto her arm for support.


    At this point, Liu Dongmei came over to assist her. "Lihua, I think you are so tensed about your baby coming, you are nervous and that shouldn''t be. Just relax and take your mind off it, everything will be fine."


    Chen Lihua threw up everything she ate when she entered the visitor''s washroom. Liu Huiling and Liu Dongmei helped her to tidy up before taking her back to the living room.


    There, they met Lady Chen and Madam Liu who were currently watching the Tv.

 Chapter 455 - Something Goes Wrong II: Preeclampsia

    Their coming in distracted the attention of the two women.


    Seeing Chen Lihua in a weak state, they immediately hurriedly towards her as panic could be seen written all over their faces.


    "What happened to her, why is she in this state?." Lady Chen asked worriedly.


    "Aunt don''t worry, it doesn''t seem like something serious. Lihua is just tensed and nervous." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Mum I''m fine." Chen Lihua said in a soft tone.


    "No, you''re not! You don''t look fine to me." Lady Chen said in reply before instructing Liu Huiling to take her to the sofa.


    "Lihua, you look weak. Are you still experiencing the headaches?." Madam Liu said as she sat beside her with a worried look on her face.


    "Yeah, and I feel the headaches are getting worse." Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier?! Bilu, out her doctor on the phone." Lady Chen said, annoyed at the situation.


    "Mum, Lihua threw up as well, and she was feeling dizzy earlier." Liu Huiling revealed.


    "What?!." Lady Chen screamed in alarm.


    "Mum, what are you screaming for? I''m just nervous, that''s it." Chen Lihua said as she was becoming annoyed. She didn''t know the reason her mother was taking things so seriously.


    "No Lihua, it''s more than that. It''s my fault for forgetting the most important thing." Lady Chen said as she left her side and went over to Madam Liu who was on a call.


    "What do you mean there are traffic and a roadblock?." Madam Liu questioned.


    "Give the phone to me." Lady Chen said as she took the phone.


    "Hello, doctor. I need you to get here as quickly as possible, my daughter is not in a good condition, and the labor needs to be induced immediately. Come before things get out of hand."


    "What?! What could be wrong? Oh No! Don''t tell me it''s what I''m thinking of. If that is it, we have to prepare for labor, but I''m stuck right here. There is a roadblock as a helicopter suddenly crashed close to the airport." The doctor revealed.


    Lady Chen placed a hand on her forehead as she shut her eyes, while the other looked on in confusion.


    They were wondering why Lady Chen would say that Chen Lihua was in a serious condition.


    Did she say that to get the doctor over immediately?


    "Send me your location through the map, I will send a helicopter to pick you up in five (5) minutes, so get ready." Lady Chen instructed and ended the call immediately, before going ahead to make another call.


    "Send a helicopter to the location I just sent to you." Lady Chen urged.


    The person seemed to have said something that irritated Lady Chen because her tone became harsher.


    "Why are you asking so many questions at this moment, it''s not needed. There is an emergency over here. Our daughter can''t wait for long, so hurry."


    After saying this piece, Lady Chen ended the call before walking towards Chen Lihua in a hurry.


    "Lihua, are you Okay? Are you fine?." Lady Chen asked worriedly.


    "Mum, I''m fine, but what''s going on, why are you so worked up?." Chen Lihua asked, getting scared in the process.


    "Yes, Ju Ju, you are acting weird. Tell us the problem is, we are equally worried as well." Madam Liu said to her in a worried tone.


    "Lihua is showing the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia." Lady Chen revealed.


    "Preeclampsia? What''s that?." Madam Liu asked in confusion.


    "I don''t know how to explain it, but this condition is very dangerous to her and the baby. If things get worse, there are going to be a lot of issues." Lady Chen said.


    "I think her blood pressure has increased. We just need the doctor to get here on time." Lady Chen said as she grabbed Chen Lihua''s arm.


    "Lihua, you''ll be fine." Lady Chen assured her.


    "Mum, get your hands off me!." Chen Lihua said as she plunged her mother''s arm away forcefully.


    When she did that, she experienced a sharp pain in her abdomen, so her face scrunched up in a frown and she placed a hand where she experienced the sharp pain.


    The other three women were surprised when Chen Lihua pushed her mother''s arm away. But there was no time to dwell on that because Chen Lihua wasn''t looking so good at the moment.


    "My stomach hurts!." Chen Lihua cried out.


    This unexpected revelation caused all of them to be in panic.


    "Lihua are you alright?." They asked worriedly.


    A few seconds later, Chen Lihua calmed down a lot, so she replied, "I''m fine."


    "Lihua, please don''t move a lot, stay calm." Liu Huiling advised.


    Chen Lihua took deep breaths before speaking up "Mum seriously, your act is getting me worked up. You just said was experiencing something serious, but you can''t even give me the full details. This is so annoying. You are making me more worried, and right now I''m worried about my baby."


    "Lihua, if I knew more about that, I wouldn''t dare to hide anything from you. I just know the experiences you are facing plus increased blood pressure are signs and symptoms of Preeclampsia because my sister had this problem when she was pregnant with her twins. But it was discovered earlier and treated immediately. But it looks like yours was well hidden that even your doctor didn''t find out about it after all the tests she did on you." Lady Chen revealed.


    Preeclampsia usually begins after week 20 of pregnancy. Rarely, it can present earlier in pregnancy or even postpartum. The condition can occur in women who previously had normal blood pressure.


    The first sign of preeclampsia is an abnormal rise in blood pressure. This is defined as a rise in blood pressure to greater than or equal to 140/90 that persists for more than just a few hours.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/something-goes-wrong-ii-preeclampsia_52127454709478617 for visiting.


    Initially, Chen Lihua had perfectly normal blood pressure. Then she began to experience an abnormal increase in blood pressure, which had only occurred twice.

 Chapter 456 - Something Goes Wrong III: Crashed Lius Private Jet

    The first sign of preeclampsia is an abnormal rise in blood pressure. This is defined as a rise in blood pressure to greater than or equal to 140/90 that persists for more than just a few hours.


    Initially, Chen Lihua had perfectly normal blood pressure. Then she began to experience an abnormal increase in blood pressure, which had only occurred twice.


    Her doctor ran some tests on her to make sure it wasn''t a serious problem. But it appears that the preeclampsia was tricky.


    After few minutes, Chen Lihua was able to relax, and then she instructed K2 to prepare to receive her Doctor in the helicopter that would be flying in any moment from then.


    "Ju Ju, the something said something about a jet crash close to the airport, do you have the details?." Madam Liu Bilu asked as she finally settled herself on the sofa.


    "I didn''t get the details. But she told me there was traffic because of it, and also a roadblock, that was the actual reason she can''t make it here on time." Lady Chen disclosed.


    "If something that serious happened, then I''m sure the news channels would be at the scene. Mei, change the channel." Madam Liu instructed.


    "Lihua are you fine now?." Liu Huiling who was sitting beside whispered to her.


    "Yeah, I''m much better. The headache has subsided." Chen Lihua replied.


    Just then, they could all hear the voice of a male reporter from the Tv, so their attention was drawn to the Tv.


    The male reporter was standing some distance away from the scene of the crashed jet. No fire could be seen as it has already been put off by the firefighters.


    "The private Jet crashed twenty minutes ago, and three people were burnt by the massive flame. The cause of the crash has still not been identified. But the owner of the private jet is a well-known business Tycoon in China. The jet was flying towards the Airpot to make a landing when it crashed and caught fire. More findings are yet to be known."


    Chen Lihua''s eyes were focused on the private jet, and suddenly, she felt a tight pain in her chest as she stood to her feet and walked close to the Tv to take a good look at the crashed Jet.


    "OMG! Mum, that''s Our Private Jet!." Chen Lihua screamed as she stumbled, but Liu Dongmei was in time to catch her.


    "Lihua! What do you mean by ''our private jet''? Explain." Lady Chen asked, demanding an explanation as she went to her side.


    Chen Lihua was already in tears at this point of reply. "Mum! That''s Longwei''s Private Jet. OMG!."


    "What?!." The four ladies cried out in shock.


    "How can you be sure of what you''re saying. Longwei is supposed to arrive here in the evening, so how come his plane is in the city?." Madam Liu inquired with a devastated expression on her face.


    "There...there is the Liu logo on the jet." Chen Lihua pointed out as she slipped to the floor.


    Lady Chen and Liu Huiling supported her weight and tried to stop her from falling to the floor, but her weight was too much, and they couldn''t hold her in time.


    But she didn''t fall hard.


    "Lihua calm down, we are not sure of the situation yet." Liu Huiling tried consoling as she glanced at the Tv screen.


    "Mei... Call Longwei to find out where he is." Madam Liu said with a calm expression on her face before walking towards Lihua to kneel beside her as she wiped the tears on her face.


    "Lihua my dear, don''t cry. Nothing is confirmed." She said to her.


    "Mum, his number is not going through." Liu Dongmei reported with a worried look on her face.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/something-goes-wrong-iii-crashed-liu''s-private-jet_52128432351402180 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua cried harder ???? as she tried pushing away the arms of her mothers and Liu Huiling but to no avail. They were strongly holding unto her.


    "Mei, contact your father and brother. Tell them to try getting through Longwei''s phone, and also send someone to the crash scene. We need to find out more details." Madam Liu instructed with a weary facial expression.


    "Lihua stop crying okay? Everything will be fine. There is no conclusion yet, no findings, nothing at all, so there is hope." Lady Chen consoled her.


    Even Liu Huiling couldn''t stand watching the Tv anymore, but she couldn''t turn it off, so she decreased the volume.


    "Mum, I want Longwei! I want to see him, no, I want to talk to him!." Chen Lihua said as more tears flowed from her eyes.


    At that point, she felt like rolling on the floor, and she would have done that if her arms were not being tightly held by her two mothers.


    "Lihua dear, stop crying. You will be able to see your Longwei in a few hours. Don''t forget, he is on his way back to the country to see you deliver your child." Madam Liu said to her.


    Her words seemed to fuel Chen Lihua, so she increased her crying pace and struggled to release her arms from their hold.


    "My Child, stop doing this to yourself, you''re hurting the baby. What will you tell Longwei when he comes back? Or don''t you want the baby anymore?." Lady Chen asked with a worried look on her face as she forcefully held Chen Lihua down.


    Lady Chen was worried that something wrong would happen to her and the baby if she kept struggling.


    "No! Mum, I don''t want the baby anymore, I want my husband! I want Longwei!." Chen Lihua cried out painfully.


    She felt that her world has come crashing down on her. Her heart was filled with excruciating pain.


    "Shhhhh!!!." Old Madam Liu slowly made her way over as she pushed her.


    She was quite energetic and didn''t seem to be moved by the situation on ground.


    "Mother?." Madam Liu called out as she looked up.


    Old Madam Liu walked over and sat on the sofa that was facing Chen Lihua, before speaking up.


    "Lihua my child, don''t say that! Your child can hear you, he can feel your emotions and pain. You are indirectly asking your child to leave, and that will not soothe well for him, so you have to guide your tongue even if you are in a situation worse than death. Your hurtful words can force your child to leave, so don''t say that again. Never again say that you don''t want your child anymore, no matter the situation you may find yourself in."


    Old Madam Liu said, rebuking Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 457 - Something Goes Wrong IV: The complications of Preeclampsia

    "Grandma! I want to see Longwei!." Chen Lihua cried out.


    "Stop crying, you will see him soon." Old Madam Liu said, trying to placate her.


    Just then, Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling who shifted to a corner to make calls and inquiries walked back into the living room.


    When Chen Lihua saw them, at first, her eyes lit up with hope in them. But when she saw their facial expressions didn''t change right from the beginning of this whole incident, she started to wail again.


    "Mum, Dad said he still can''t reach Longwei, but he is on his way to the scene even though he had already sent delegates to find out the current situation at the scene." Liu Dongmei announced.


    "It''s alright. What about Liwei, did you speak to him?." Madam Liu inquired further.


    "Yes. He too hasn''t been able to reach Brother. But he''s making some calls to Russia to see if he is still there or has left already." Liu Dongmei said in reply.


    "Alright." Madam Liu said before turning to the weeping Chen Lihua.


    Just then, they all heard a helicopter sound, and Lady Chen gave out instructions.


    "The doctor is here. Quick Huiling, please go and bring her inside."


    "Okay, Aunty." Liu Huiling replied and walked away hurriedly.


    When she went outside because the helicopter landed in the space in the compound instead of the rooftop, she already saw the doctor walking towards her in a hurry, with two nurses walking behind her. They were almost on their heels.


    "Where is she?." The doctor asked just before she approached Liu Huiling.


    "She''s in the living room." Liu Huiling replied as she led them inside.


    When the doctor inside with the nurses, she saw the rest pacifying Chen Lihua who was sitting on the floor in tears.


    "OMG! What happened to her?." The doctor asked in alarm as she approached them, thinking that something has happened to Chen Lihua or the baby.


    Madam Liu sighed heavily before going on to brief her on the situation.


    The doctor was kind of devastated because she just passed the crash scene, and there was no survivor, but how could she tell them that?


    Right now, Chen Lihua was her priority, so she instructed them.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/something-goes-wrong-iv-the-complications-of-preeclampsia_52139032884345394 for visiting.


    "Please take Mrs. Liu to the delivery room, so I can check up on her."


    "No, I want to see my husband. Sister Mei, ask K2 to find my husband immediately." Chen Lihua instructed before she was led into the delivery room prepared for her.


    There, the doctor checked up on her with rapt attention. There was no lab, so she couldn''t carry some tests. But she knew another way to find out what was actually wrong with her.


    "What are the symptoms she has been experiencing?." The doctor asked as she continued checking up on Chen Lihua.


    "She threw up everything she ate this morning. She complained of terrible headaches, she felt slightly dizzy. And then, she experienced a sharp pain on her abdomen twice today." Liu Huiling revealed.


    After few seconds, the doctor said. "We have to induce her labor right away, this can not wait. She and the baby will be at very high risk if she doesn''t deliver the baby within 48 hours."


    "Doctor is her condition that serious?." Madam Liu asked worriedly.


    "Yes, it''s quite serious, but everything will be fine if handled quickly and accurately. What I don''t seem to understand is how preeclampsia managed to stay hidden that all the tests couldn''t identify any problem. And now, it suddenly came off and is increasing at a faster rate. This is very dangerous." The doctor said.


    Chen Lihua experienced some of the symptoms of preeclampsia, but here at the remaining symptoms.


    Other symptoms of preeclampsia include: severe headaches, excess protein in the urine, which is a sign of kidney problems, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision, a temporary loss of vision, upper abdominal pain, decreased urine output, swelling of the face, and hands, etc.


    Preeclampsia occurs in about 5 to 8 percent of pregnancies. Because preeclampsia is thought to result from problems developed by the pregnancy itself, delivery of the baby and placenta are the recommended treatment to stop progression and resolve the condition.


    So that is the reason the doctor wants to induce Chen Lihua''s labor and get the child out immediately, as that was the only situation.


    If the labor is not induced in due time, the preeclampsia will get worst, and lead to worse symptoms, including death.


    Because Chen Lihua was not too far from labor, therefore, she could deliver through the normal way instead of a cesarean operation.


    If she hasn''t started dilating already, then, the cesarean operation would have been the only option, so she was quite lucky that she didn''t need to go under the knife.


    The last test the doctor did was to check her blood pressure, which was way above normal.


    If during this time, the high blood pressure gets worse, it can lead to several life-threatening complications such as; bleeding in the brain, or hemorrhagic stroke, seizures, coma, or even HELLP syndrome, causing elevated liver enzyme levels and low platelets, which may lead to permanent damage to the nervous system, lungs, and kidneys.


    When preeclampsia causes seizures, it''s called eclampsia. Unborn babies can suffocate during a mother''s seizure, and about one in every 14 of these babies may die. Additionally, mothers who experience a stroke due to preeclampsia may have permanent brain damage or even death.


    "Doctor, how is the child, is He safe?." Madam Liu asked.


    "For now, he is safe. Mrs. Liu''s little boy is a strong one." The doctor said while listening to Chen Lihua''s heartbeat as she pointed at the monitor for them to see the baby.


    Everyone could already see that the baby was already in position and set to be delivered.


    "That''s good, so what''s next?." Lady Chen asked.


    "She will have to take walks now. She will do a little running, and then climbing and going down the stairs with the greatest level of speed she can do now. This is to induce the labor." The doctor said in reply.

 Chapter 458 - Good News

    But then, the doctor continued. "But if after all these and the contractions don''t increase at a faster rate, I will then need to inject her to induce the labor."


    As for Liu Dongmei who went to relay Chen Lihua''s instructions, she had hope over the news she heard.


    K2 already knew that something was wrong, so he reported to AD who was his direct boss, the leader of Liu Longwei''s bodyguards.


    AD being efficient, was able to track Liu Longwei''s private Jet. And truly, the private jet was in the country and was at a standstill.


    It was in the same location as the jet that crashed, so AD along with some of his underlings, went to check things out as well.


    "We always keep track of Boss''s private jet every time he travels in it. When we tracked it today, it had already come to a stop, but the tracker we have on Boss is still active. It shows that he is in motion. So we are speculating he wasn''t in his private Jet at the time of the crash."


    "From the tracks, did you find my brother''s location?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "Yes, he is two hours away from China. But we are not able to confirm all these because we can''t reach him or any of his team." K2 replied.


    Before Liu Longwei leaves for any trip, he notifies them so they could keep track of him, the roads, and everything.


    Yesterday, he already told them he would be coming back to China the next day in the morning. He also gave them time.


    According to the information he passed to them, he shouldn''t be in China by this time, unless he changed his schedule without telling them.


    But that was not the case as his tracker showed that he was in motion, while the tracker in his private jet showed that it was in China, and had come to a stop.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/good-news_52142341082899990 for visiting.


    He couldn''t conclude anything yet, and could only hope for the best.


    On her back into the house, Liu Dongmei tried contacting Assistant Duyi, but she still couldn''t reach him.


    There was no one else she could contact from the trip to Russia. All the teams from the company that went on that trip had returned.


    Liu Longwei and Asst Duyi were the last to leave.


    Back inside the room, Liu Dongmei revealed the information she just got to them.


    "Are you saying that Longwei was not on the plane and that he''s still two hours away from China?." Chen Lihua asked expectantly.


    She hasn''t stopped crying since that time, and she was too weak to walk on her own, so she was supported by her mothers.


    "Yeah. According to the findings, Brother is not on the plane, and in fact, he is close to China. But AD has gone to the crash things to see if he could find out somethings and identify the bodies. But we still can''t reach Brother and his Personal Assistant.


    "It''s a relief that he is not there." The Old Lady Liu who has been calm apart from when she is consoling Chen Lihua spoke up.


    Chen Lihua herself was still in a state of confusion. She didn''t know what to believe or think.


    She had hopes that her husband was still alive, and that she would get to see him soon. But she didn''t want to get her hopes high since nothing has been confirmed and then let it come crashing again.


    Just then, Liu Huiling''s phone rang and she glanced at the caller ID.


    "It''s Father." She announced as she answered the call.


    After listening for a while, a smile appeared on her face. This action caused the others to be inquisitive.


    "What did father say?." Chen Lihua asked immediately after the call ended.


    "He said the private jet belongs to Brother, but Brother wasn''t in the jet. And none of the bodies could be identified and that means, they are not our team." Liu Huiling revealed with a smile on her face.


    "Oh my!." Chen Lihua exclaimed and nearly collapsed, but her mothers supported her and took her back to her bed.


    "Mum, Longwei is alive. That means I will still get to meet him again. This time, I promise not to give him a hard time because of the baby." Chen Lihua said looking at her two mothers, but then, she continued...


    "That''s right, the baby." Chen Lihua continued as if she remembered something.


    She placed her hands on her abdomen as she began to speak to her baby.


    "Baby, your father is on his way, so you''ve got to be strong. Your Dad forgot to give you a name before he traveled, that''s so forgetful of him. But don''t worry, Daddy will give you a name after you come out okay? So don''t waste any more time and come out quickly."


    Chen Lihua spoke all these as all of them watched her with different emotions in their hearts.


    Now satisfied with speaking to her child and sure that he heard her, She wiped her tears with her hands.


    Now, she was ready to listen to the doctor, and obey her instructions.


    "Do you still have the headaches?." The doctor asked as she came close to her.


    "Yeah,  I can still feel my heart and my head throbbing." Chen Lihua said in reply as she managed a smile.


    With the joy in her heart right now, there was no way it can be hidden. Everybody could see she was getting emotionally stable, and she was quite happy.


    "It''s alright. Don''t just cry anymore, your husband is on his way. If you continue crying, your baby will be sad, and then your head will throb more." The doctor said to her.


    "Okay. But I don''t know why I can''t stop crying even though I''m relieved." Chen Lihua said in a smile as she wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks.


    "Lihua, they are tears of joy." Liu Dongmei said to her with a happy smile on her face.


    "Lihua, do not worry, Longwei will be punished for putting you under emotional stress when he gets back." Madam Liu promised.

 Chapter 459 - Liu Longwei Returns

    "Lihua, they are tears of joy." Liu Dongmei said to her with a happy smile on her face.


    "Lihua, do not worry, Longwei will be punished for putting you under emotional stress when he gets back." Madam Liu promised.


    "No mum, don''t punish him." Chen Lihua said, rejecting the idea.


    She sniffed and stood up to continue taking walks after the doctor checked on her blood pressure.


    "Your blood pressure has gone down a little, but it''s still high. But if you calm down and not worry about anything, it should be okay." The doctor advised, and Chen Lihua nodded in response.


    This time around, Chen Lihua didn''t need people to support her. Her mother-in-law was enough.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was doing better, the rest went back to the living room.


    Madam Liu took Chen Lihua out of the house for a walk. And as they took walks, she whispered some words of comfort and encouragement.


    While Chen Lihua was away on a walk, the doctor and the two nurses that came with her, set the place up for the delivery.


    They were busy getting things ready for the baby''s delivery, and in case of any emergency.


    "She might get into a seizure during the delivery of the child, so get two shots of that ready." The doctor said to one of the nurses that showed her a liquid drug to be administered as an injection.


    Coincidentally, Liu Huiling was passing by and heard the doctor say that. This caused her to begin to worry for Chen Lihua and the baby.


    So she went outside and stood at the entrance as she watched from afar, Chen Lihua take walks with her mother.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/liu-longwei-returns_52152098694946582 for visiting.


    "Lihua,  nothing will go wrong." Liu Huiling muttered to herself in a low tone as she took out her phone to make a call.


    "What''s the matter?." Liu Dongmei asked as she came out from behind her.


    "I just overheard the doctor telling the nurses to get two shots of a particular drug ready, as Lihua might go into seizures during the birth of her child." Liu Huiling revealed with worry on her face.


    "Seizures are very serious and dangerous. And mostly, they can be life-threatening. This is a serious matter. If Lihua gets into a seizure, the baby might suffocate, and we all know what will happen at the end." Liu Dongmei said worriedly.


    "Let''s just hope and have faith that everything will go on smoothly. I wish Brother was here now because he is her only pillar of support." Liu Huiling said as she focused her gaze on Chen Lihua who just sat down because she was tired.


    Because the sun is out, Chen Lihua had her glasses over her eyes to shield them from the intense light from the sun.


    "Let me try calling brother now, more than an hour had passed." Liu Dongmei said as she picked up her phone and dialed Liu Longwei''s number.


    "I was about calling him too." Liu Huiling said as a smile appeared on her face.


    "It''s ringing...!" Liu Dongmei shrieked excitedly, but her voice wasn''t loud enough to attract the others.


    "Wow! That''s good news!." Liu Huiling said as she waited patiently.


    "Uh... He didn''t answer." Liu Dongmei said with a little disappointment in her tone.


    "Try his number again." Liu Huiling suggested, and Liu Dongmei went on to try his number again, but this time around, he cut the call off.


    "Huh, ???? He cut the call off." Liu Dongmei replied.


    "Maybe he''s busy. Wait... Earlier when he was two hours away from China, his number wasn''t going through, and that''s because he was on the plane. But now he has landed, his number is going through." Liu Huiling deducted.


    "You''re right. Call AD or K2 to find out his location." Liu Dongmei suggested excitedly. She was so happy they had a lead.


    Liu Huiling didn''t waste time as she phoned K2 and demanded Liu Longwei''s location.


    "Miss, Sir is in the country. But due to poor connection from his side, I can''t tell his exact location." K2 said.


    Liu Dongmei heard all of these because Liu Huiling put her phone on a loudspeaker (Handsfree).


    "This is good news! Brother is back!." Liu Dongmei shrieked excitedly.


    "Should we tell Lihua about this, she has been worried about him for a while now?." Liu Huiling asked as she glanced towards Chen Lihua''s direction.


    Chen Lihua was currently trying out her breathing exercises as her mother-in-law, Madam Liu guided her.


    "That''s good. Take deep breathes and then exhale." Madam Liu instructed.


    Chen Lihua could feel the painful contractions now, so she needed to ease off the pain.


    Liu Dongmei glanced at Chen Lihua before saying, "No, not yet. We don''t have enough proof even though she would be happy with the news. It will also distract her and get her tensed in the process. Let''s wait till we hear from Brother directly."


    "Okay. Since Mother is with her, let''s go in and inform grandma and Aunt Chen." Liu Huiling said as she dragged her inside. She couldn''t wait any longer to share the good news.


    When they got inside, Lady Chen was in the kitchen with Old Madam Liu, making something for Chen Lihua to eat while the chefs were busy with their food.


    The doctor said Chen Lihua was too weak and need to eat to regain energy for the journey ahead.


    "Grandma, Aunt? Can you step out for a minute, it''s important." Liu Huiling said to them as she looked around, while Liu Dongmei sat in the living room waiting for them.


    Because she didn''t want the servants to overhear their discussions since they were unaware of the whole drama from the beginning, Liu Huiling had to make them come out from the kitchen.


    Old Madam Liu instructed a servant to watch over the food on fire as she left the kitchen with Lady Chen.


    Now in the living room, Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling revealed their findings and deductions to them.


    And just when Lady Chen and Old Madam Liu were rejoicing, Liu Dongmei''s phone chimed. It was a text from Liu Longwei which read.

 Chapter 460 - In a hurry to see his wife

    After Liu Dongmei read out the text aloud, there was a moment of silence.


    Lady Chen came back to her senses and demanded to see the text.


    Liu Dongmei passed the phone to her, and she took it and held the phone up so she could read the text with Old Madam Liu who was also interested in seeing the text.


    "Good! Now send him a text to come home as soon as possible, that his wife is in a serious condition while worrying about him too." Old Madam Liu instructed.


    "Yes, Grandma." Liu Dongmei replied as she took back her phone and typed on it."


    "Sent." She said as she put her phone away.


    "Grandma, should we tell Lihua now so her mind would be at ease?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "At ease? Just break this news to Lihua, and you will regret it." Lady Chen said from the side.


    "Don''t say anything to her. She has been waiting for her husband to return and now if you break this news to her, her mind will only relax that he is safe. But she will start to get worried and want him to come home immediately. Her thoughts will be filled with him instead of the baby. She will be totally distracted." Old Madam Liu said.


    "She will be out of it." Lady Chen added.


    "Okay." Liu Dongmei said as she chuckled softly.


    "The food will be ready and served in five minutes, so tell your mum to bring Chen Lihua so she can have some food." Lady Chen instructed as she assisted the Old Lady ???? up.


    They had to go back to the kitchen to check the food they left on fire.


    "Mum, it''s time for Lihua to eat." Liu Dongmei said when she approached them.


    "Lihua, the food is ready, let''s go and have some." Madam Liu said to Chen Lihua who was standing with a hand on her waist and the other on her baby bump.


    "I will eat later, I''m not hungry now." She replied before using the handkerchief on her hand to wipe the sweat off her face.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/in-a-hurry-to-see-his-wife_52155770355111259 for visiting.


    "Lihua dear, you need to eat now because you will be requiring a lot of strength to push your baby out, so let''s go inside." Madam Liu said to her in a kind reminder.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she turned around and started to walk towards the house.


    Chen Lihua opened her mouth and was about to ask about Liu Longwei, but it was as if Liu Dongmei read her mind, because she quickly threw a question at Chen Lihua, and engaged her in a conversation till they got to the dining area inside the house.


    After eating up half the food served after receiving encouragement from the women, Chen Lihua requested to have a bath because she sweated when she was outside.


    And when she came inside the house, she wanted to have a bath before eating, but she was not allowed.


    So now, she can finally have her bath and take a nap if the baby allows her.


    Everybody was worried about her, so they didn''t want her to shower alone. And they also didn''t want her to go back to her bedroom, so they sent her to the delivery as there was also a bathroom there, and a change of clothes prepared for her.


    Lady Chen went into the bathroom with her just to watch over her. Though Chen Lihua found that annoying she couldn''t do anything about it.


    She was not as strong as before, so she knew she would be needing assistance. And this was not the moment to be shy or embarrassed about.


    After taking a shower ????, Chen Lihua changed into a comfortable handles knee-length dress before laying on the bed to sleep as a nurse stayed in the room to watch over her.


    When Chen Lihua had taken a shower and gone to sleep, Liu Longwei phoned Liu Dongmei, and she put the call on loudspeaker.


    "What happened to my wife?!." Liu Longwei asked in a panic.


    When they all heard that familiar deep voice belonging to Liu Longwei, they sighed in relief with happiness written all over their faces.


    "Pass the phone to me." Old Madam Liu instructed.


    When she received the phone, she placed it on her ear as she replied, "Longwei my child, Lihua has been crying for ours thinking you were dead. But that is not the main issue. The main concern here is that your wife has a health complication that can be life-threatening if the labor is not induced, so you have to come home at once to be with her. You''re the only one that can keep her hopes high, and encourage her to be brave."


    "Grandma, I will be home in twenty minutes." Liu Longwei replied and ended the call immediately.


    He didn''t fidget, but his reply was laced in worry and concern for his wife and their unborn child.


    Just like he said, he arrived twenty minutes later in a helicopter.


    (I don''t think I''ve seen someone so punctual like Liu Longwei ????).


    The helicopter landed in the compound instead of the rooftop.


    He rushed into the house to find his wife. But in the living room, he saw other female family members, but his wife wasn''t there, so he became alarmed, and thinking that something bad has happened, he forgot to greet any of them and went directly to ask about his wife.


    "Where is Lihua? What happened to her?."


    The women heaved sighs before Madam Liu said to him.


    "We are glad that you are back safe and sound. Lihua is fine, she is sleeping in the room prepared for her delivery."


    "Brother, what actually happened to you and your private jet?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "I will explain everything later but first, I need to see my wife." Liu Longwei said as he turned to walk away quickly.


    "Longwei take easy steps. You don''t want to wake her, she has not been having things easy." Lady Chen reminded him.


    Although he had gone a little far because of the speed, he still heard her, so she slowed down his place and tried to lighten his steps.

 Chapter 461 - His story...

    "I will explain everything later but first, I need to see my wife." Liu Longwei said as he turned to walk away quickly.


    "Longwei take easy steps. You don''t want to wake her, she has not been having things easy." Lady Chen reminded him.


    Although he had gone a little far because of the speed, he still heard her, so she slowed down his place and tried to lighten his steps.


    When he got to the door of the said room, he gently pushed the door open and went inside.


    The nurse that was looking after Chen Lihua stood up to greet him, but he waved his hand, signaling her to forget the greeting.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/his-story..._52156752308791972 for visiting.


    Liu Longwei saw his wife sleeping peacefully and walked towards her bed to sit beside her. He saw how tired she looked.


    To him, she looked nothing like how he left her before his trip. I mean, he only left her for a few weeks, and she turned out like that.


    Liu Longwei took her hand and kissed the back of her palms as he whispered. "Sweetheart, you look like you''ve been through a lot while I was gone. How are you? Was the baby naughty and disobedient while I was gone?."


    As he said this, he placed a hand on her abdomen. "Baby, did you give your mother a hard time while I was gone?."


    His question seemed to have woken the baby in the w.o.m.b. The baby opened his eyes and blinked and stretched his hands out before taking them back.


    "Sweetheart, I''ll be back, give me a few minutes." Liu longwei said as he kissed her baby bump and her forehead before saying to the nurse, "Take care of her."  Then he walked out of the room.


    Back in the living room, Liu Longwei asked about Chen Lihua''s health condition,  and the doctor explained everything he needed to know about it.


    "The only solution is to induce the labor and have her give birth before the actual date. The earlier this is done, the better for her and the baby." The doctor said to him before going back to the delivery room to check on Chen Lihua.


    Every now and then, she has been checking her blood pressure, and the baby''s heartbeat to ensure everything was going on well.


    After the nurse left, Old Madam Liu brought up the initial question they all wanted to know about.


    Liu Longwei didn''t waste time because there was nothing to hide, and he needed to freshen up and go to see his wife.


    Liu Longwei explained the whole situation to them and watched their facial expressions change thought the whole conversation.


    But the whole thing summarizes that, When Liu Longwei was ready to take a trip back to City B, in his private her, the engineers found out that the engine had a slight malfunctioning, and so wasn''t in a conducive state to be on air.


    Liu Longwei asked them how long it would take them to have it fixed, and he was given between two to three hours.


    Liu Longwei glanced at his wristwatch as he said to them, "I will wait".


    Someone that was waiting wherever he was, was called on the phone the next several minutes to give him shocking news.


    ''His private jet has been hijacked."


    This news came as a surprise to Liu Longwei because he wasn''t expecting something like that to happen.


    At first, he didn''t want them to track the jet and force the people that hijacked it down. Since the plane had an engine malfunction, he knew the plane would crash if the distance was long for it.


    So he wanted to teach them a lesson not to steal from him so easily, but then, he thought about the little life he was expecting into this world, that alone was enough to change his mind, so he ordered for the plane to be stopped.


    But who knew the thieves wouldn''t listen to the command after two helicopters came after them. They increased their speed and went their way.


    The helicopters sent on their pursuit couldn''t make a five hours journey, so they gave up halfway.


    Since Liu Longwei had already made up his mind to go back home that day, he decided to take his Russian friend''s private jet, back home.


    His line couldn''t go through because of the settings in the jet. So he and his personal, assistant and his bodyguards, took the ride back home.


    And on getting to City B, he saw the news of the crash and decided to settle the matter before finally getting to his home.


    "We didn''t know that this was what happened. When Lihua saw the news of the crash, she recognized your jet and she thought you were dead." Lady Chen said, and Madam Liu continued.


    "It took us a lot of effort to calm her down and encourage her. We told her that your signal showed that you were not in the city yet, and it was only your private jet that crashed in the City." Madam Liu said.


    "She must have gone through a lot even with the health complication and added to the news she saw." Liu Longwei commented in a low tone.


    He can very well imagine what his wife went through today.


    "Yes brother, Lihua has gone through a lot today. She has been waiting for your return. We didn''t even tell her about the latest development for fear she would start to worry again, and then lose focus." Liu Dongmei said.


    "The only thing that gave her hope to live was because we said you were fine and your signal showed you were still on your way to the country. And then, her child." Liu Huiling added as she gazed at him.


    "It''s alright, I''m back now, everything will go on well." Liu Longwei said.


    "I will up to my room to freshen up before going to meet Lihua. Dongmei? Take care of the incoming calls. I am not expecting an emergency, but if one should come up, you and Huiling should settle it or pass the issue to my assistant." Liu Dongmei instructed as he passed his phone to Liu Dongmei.


    "Longwei my child, won''t you have something to eat before you go in to see your wife?." Old Madam Liu asked.


    "No grandmother, I will eat with my wife when she wakes up." Liu Longwei replied before walking away.

 Chapter 462 - Their love, ever so strong and boundless

    It took Liu Longwei a total of five minutes to freshen up before going down to see his wife.


    He had a little talk with the doctor to understand his wife''s condition, and things to be done to help, and also the processes she would be subjected to during labor to ensure the safe delivery of their child, and also that she is safe and no other complications.


    Having understood the situation more clearly, Liu Longwei glanced at Chen Lihua to see that the peaceful expression on her face has been replaced by a disturbing look.


    "Doctor, what''s wrong with her, is she in pain?." Liu Longwei inquired concernedly.


    The doctor smiled as she replied, "We can put it that way, but it''s more appropriate to say that she''s having contractions."


    "Oh!." Liu Longwei exclaimed in response.


    The doctor put on her gloves as she said to him, "I want to check the dilation, and also the baby. It will be a bit painful and might wake her up."


    Right after saying this, the doctor raised Chen Lihua''s legs ???? and asked Liu Longwei to hold them so they wouldn''t slip.


    Next, she put three of her fingers inside Chen Lihua with her gaze on the monitor.


    "You can see the baby''s head there, and that''s my fingers right there, trying to reach his crown." The doctor said to Liu Longwei while pointing at the monitor.


    Liu Longwei also focused his gaze on the monitor with his hands still holding his wife''s legs that were being propped up.


    When the doctor''s fingers got to the baby''s crown, Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned in pain as she moved her legs.


    "Okay. That''s right." The doctor said as took her fingers out and removed the gloves before tossing them to the wastebasket at the corner in the room.


    "Everything is fine, the baby''s crown is mature enough to make an exit. Mr. Liu, your wife is funny. At this stage, she doesn''t need to wear so many things but she didn''t forget to cover up." The doctor said to Liu Longwei as she gazed at the sleeping Chen Lihua with a patient smile on her face.


    The doctor said this because Chen Lihua wore her underwear (bra, pant, and tight) beneath the dress, someone that was ready to give birth, it wasn''t necessary to cover up like that.


    "She has always been that way." Liu Longwei said with a doting smile on his face.


    The doctor smiled as she cleaned Chen Lihua up and brought her legs down.


    "Her water hasn''t broken yet, but that will happen soon. So her labor would have to be induced now." The doctor said, giving him a meaningful glance.


    They have already talked about it, and she told him the two ways her labor can be induced, the natural way (which is through sec) and the artificial way (which is through injections).


    And Liu Longwei accepted to try a natural way. But if it doesn''t work, then she can be given an injection to induce labor.


    "I understand." Liu Longwei said in reply as he held his wife''s hand and gazed at her with some other thoughts running through his mind.


    The doctor came over to check Chen Lihua''s blood pressure. "Her blood pressure is still high. But there is hope that it would come down when she sees you."


    Three minutes later, Chen Lihua yawned with her eyes still closed as she tried to adjust her position but felt her hand being held by something, so she opened her eyes slowly, but the light in the room was too bright for her eyes, especially now that she was just waking up from sleep.


    So she covered her eyes with her other free hand, as she tried to slowly see what was holding the other hand.


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


    "Yes, I''m here, Mrs. Liu. Do you need something?." The doctor replied as she glanced at Chen Lihua before looking at the paper records in her hands.


    That voice sounded far from the bed, so Chen Lihua knew she wasn''t the one holding her hand, so she decided to open her eyes, to see things for herself.


    As she slowly took her hand off her eyes while slowly opening them, she saw a familiar figure, but her sight was blurry, so she had to wipe her eyes before glancing at the figure before her.


    "Lon... Longwei?!." She called out in surprise as she tried to sit up in a hurry.


    Liu Longwei noticed the rapid movement and immediately helped her because stopping her wouldn''t work.


    "Sweetheart, relax I''m here." He said as she helped her to sit up, on the bed. He wanted to adjust the bed so she can relax very well, but Chen Lihua wouldn''t let him even though she uncomfortable.


    So he tried to comfort her while the doctor picked up the remote and adjusted the upper side of the bed.


    And after that, she gave signs to the other two nurses to leave the room with her.


    "Doctor, please inform my mother to start preparing food for us. I will come and get the food myself in an hour." Liu Longwei said to the doctor.


    "No troubles." The doctor said as she left and closed the door behind her.


    "Longwei, you''re back? And you''re fine." Chen Lihua said as tears started to stream down her eyes while she touched his face.


    "Yes I''m back sweetheart, and I''m fine. Please don''t cry, it will hurt me too." Liu Longwei said as he wiped the tears away from her eyes.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/their-love-ever-so-strong-and-boundless_52176020874255523 for visiting.


    "You don''t know how much I missed you. I thought something bad happened to you, and I couldn''t bring myself to care about myself and our child. At that point, I didn''t think  I would be able to live without you." Chen Lihua said as she choked on her sobs


    "Sshhh... Sweetheart, don''t say that. I''m here now. I''m sorry for making you worry, forgive me." Liu Longwei apologized.


    "No...no don''t apologize to me, you didn''t do anything wrong. I should be the one apologizing to you for treating you badly and giving you troubles because of the pregnancy, I''m so sorry. And I can''t bear for anything bad to happen to you." Chen Lihua said as more tears streamed down her cheeks.


    "Sweetheart, I don''t hold anything against you. You are my wife, the woman I fell in love with at first sight. You didn''t even need to put any effort to make me fall for you. The mother of our children, I love you so much, and you  thee word to me." Liu Longwei said to her as he gazed into her eyes.


    Their confessions to one another showed that their love was ever so strong and boundless.

 Chapter 463 - Liu Longwei helps her to Induce her labor through...

    After talking to Chen Lihua for a while, and getting her to calm down, Liu Longwei escorted her to the bathroom before taking her back to the room.


    It didn''t take a while for him to start teasing her.


    "The doctor said you are wearing too many for someone that''s about to give birth."


    "Does she want me to go n.a.k.e.d?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "She means well for you, and she is right. Take off your undies and just be in the dress alone." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "But...but..." Chen Lihua stammered uncomfortably, but Liu Longwei didn''t want to listen to any of her excuses.


    "No buts, let me help you out." Liu Longwei said to her as he reached out for her dress.


    The dress had a side zip, so he unzipped her dress before helping her take off her bra. Next, he proceeded to take off her tight and panties without zipping her dress for her.


    Chen Lihua, thinking he would come back to zip the dress after keeping her undies away, didn''t say anything to remind him of it.


    Although she was embarrassed with him seeing her in that state, she had to force herself not to think of that fact.


    "Come, lie down." Liu Longwei instructed as he came to sit beside her, and picked up the remote to adjust the bed.


    "Lie down? You haven''t zipped my dress." Chen Lihua said while staring at him wide-eyed as she propped herself up in her arms when the bed went back to its original state.


    Liu Longwei stood up and went to lock the door of the room.


    Chen Lihua was surprised by his actions, so she asked in a tense tone, "Why are you locking the door?", but he ignored her.


    He walked back to her side with a smile on his face as he took off his shirt.


    Chen Lihua could sense and smell the danger ahead, so she wrapped her loose dress around her body and tried to jump off the bed, But Liu Longwei caught her in time.


    "Where do you think you are running off to?." Liu Longwei asked as he held her shoulders down.


    "What are you trying to do?." Chen Lihua asked, scared by his actions.


    "Am I not allowed to be with my wife?." Liu Longwei asked as he pulled her dress down, admits her struggles.


    "You... You. Why are you acting so shameless?." Chen Lihua asked as she continued struggling with him.


    "Stop moving vigorously, have you forgotten you are with child and is it a serious health condition?." Liu Longwei asked as he gazed into her eyes with a serious look on his face.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/liu-longwei-helps-her-to-induce-her-labor-through..._52177436334414270 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua mellowed down on seeing that ''not so good'' expression on his face.


    "The doctor said s.e.x can help to induce labor, and you need it very much right now. Left for me, I wouldn''t be so heartless as to touch you when you are uncomfortable and in pain." Liu Longwei said, explaining the reason for his actions to her.


    "Oh!." Chen Lihua exclaimed softly as she finally came to realize the reason for this sudden move.


    "I will never hurt you, okay?." Liu Longwei promised, and she nodded in response.


    "But...but won''t everybody know what we are doing?." Chen Lihua asked, uncomfortable with the situation.


    "None of this matters in any way. Even if they are aware of our actions, what can they do about it? Well, in any case, they understand your condition, and they are also in any support that would help to relieve your pain and stress." Liu Longwei said to her.


    Chen Lihua nodded in understanding after accepting that fact.


    "I won''t hurt you, I promise." Liu Longwei assured her before proceeding to loose the ropes on his joggers, after seeing her in a comfortable state.


    Thirty minutes later, Liu Longwei had already cleaned her up and changed her clothes and the sheets on the bed.


    Next, he turned off the lights in the room before going ahead to open the curtains in the room. He opened the windows as well to allow the natural air, sweep away the scent of the aftermath of their lovemaking making.


    "Do I really need to just wear this dress without any underwear?." Chen Lihua asked with an uncomfortable look on her face.


    "Yes. In the first instance, you are about going into labor, what do you need so many clothes on your body for?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh as she replied, "I''m so uncomfortable, and my b.r.e.a.s.ts are heavy, my n.i.p.p.l.es are painful, so I don''t want them coming in direct contact with my dress."


    Liu Longwei just gazed at her and didn''t know what else to say to her.


    The most important thing was for her to be comfortable, so he picked a nursing bra from her bag before handing it to her.


    He thought that she wouldn''t allow him hell her put it on, so he just gave it to her. But surprisingly, she handed the bra back to him while complaining, "Help me with it, I am so tired and hungry that I can''t even move a muscle."


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he took the bra from her, and helped her to put it on.


    The dress Chen Lihua was currently putting on now, was similar to the first one, but the difference was with the style. And then, the zip of this dress was in front instead of the side.


    Also, this dress had a flower design instead of the plain-looking red one.


    "I''ll go get our food, I will be right back." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her forehead before leaving the room.


    "Is she awake now, is she okay?." Madam Liu asked as Liu Longwei came into the kitchen to grab their food.


    "She''s fine, but she''s hungry." Liu Longwei said as he carried their food in a trolley tray and walked away immediately, to avoid any more questions.


    It''s not like he was afraid of the questions, but because he didn''t want anything that would delay him because his wife was hungry.

 Chapter 464 - Her water breaks

    When Liu Longwei returned to the room with their food, Chen Lihua smiled at him as she said, "You returned so quickly."


    "Yeah. My wife is already very hungry, and I don''t want to starve her further." Liu Longwei said as his lips turned up in a smile as he adjusted the bed so she can relax on it in a sit-up position.


    "I can feed myself." Chen Lihua said as she tried grabbing the spoon for him when attempted sending food into her mouth.


    "I know, and I can feed you as well. Save your strength to push the baby out later." Liu Longwei said as he brought the food to her mouth again.


    This time around, Chen Lihua ate the food obediently.


    As they are, Chen Lihua asked about his private jet and the story behind it.


    "It was stolen." Liu Longwei replied as he put some fold into his mouth.


    "Stolen? Someone dares to steal from you?." Chen Lihua asked with a surprised smile on her face.


    "Why do you seem so happy about it?." Liu Longwei asked as he cleaned the corner of her lips with a napkin.


    "How can I be happy that someone succeeded in stealing from my husband? I''m just surprised, not happy. Tell me the details, I want to know everything." Chen Lihua demanded.


    Liu Longwei gazed at her expectant look for some seconds before sending a spoon of soup to her mouth, then he started with his story.


    In the middle of eating, Chen Lihua got a painful contraction that made her abandon the food as her face squeezed in a frown.


    "Are you alright?." Liu Longwei asked as he put the plate down and rushed to help her get off the bed.


    "It''s the contractions. It''s coming on strong, and it''s regular now." Chen Lihua said to him with a hand on her waist as she walked around the room to relieve the pain.


    "Should I get the doctor?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "No, I have to finish my food." Chen Lihua said to him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/her-water-breaks_52187188057665412 for visiting.


    When she felt relieved by the pain, she came back to sit on the bed and continued eating.


    "Do you like the food so much?." Liu Longwei asked as he continues feeding her.


    "Yeah, but that''s not the actual reason. I need the energy to push the baby out because, labor is a long process, and I might not be in the mood to eat again." Chen Lihua replied after swallowing the food in her mouth.


    As she ate, she could feel her backache and that heavy feeling that some women experience during their monthly period.


    Now, the contractions were regular and coming about every ten to fifteen (10 - 15) minutes.


    After eating, they were having a good time of their lives as they talked about what each of them did when they were away from each other.


    From their conversation, one could tell Chen Lihua had more fun.


    Chen Lihua was not sitting at a place now, because she couldn''t endure the contractions in a sitting position.


    Suddenly as she was standing with a hand on her abdomen, and the other hand on her waist while smiling at Liu Longwei who was sitting and watching her, she felt a liquid flow from her inner thighs down to her legs.


    Chen Lihua stopped smiling as she exchanged glances with Liu Longwei before looking down at herself to see a pool of a liquid substance in between and beside her legs.


    Liu Longwei looked shocked as well, in fact, he was speechless and didn''t react for a while.


    Just then, Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling came into the room, laughing. But that laugh didn''t last long because they saw the facial expressions of the couple and then looked down to see the pool of liquid at Chen Lihua''s feet.


    Both of them exclaimed in surprise, "Your water broke?!."


    Their scream cause Liu Longwei to come back to his senses.


    "Get the doctor immediately." Liu Longwei instructed as he went to Chen Lihua''s side to support her.


    "Let''s get you all cleaned up." He said to her as he slowly guided her to the bathroom.


    Liu Dongmei ran out of the room to inform the doctor who was chatting with the three older women in the living room.


    "Why are you running around the house like a child?." Madam Liu berated her.


    "Doctor, Lihua''s water just broke!." Liu Dongmei announced as she breathed heavily.


    "What?!." Lady Chen and Madam Liu exclaimed in surprise.


    "That''s good news, her labor has started, let''s go." The doctor said to the two nurses that have been sitting at the side, before getting up to leave with a smile on her face.


    The other women followed after her as well, as they all went into the room.


    When they entered the room, Liu Huiling was given the floor one last cleaning.


    And just then, Liu Longwei supported Chen Lihua back into the room, but Chen Lihua''s face wasn''t looking so good.


    "Come, my dear, let the doctor examine you." Lady Chen said with a happy smile on her face as she took hold of her other arm.


    The doctor asked her to lay down on the bed so she could examine her externally and internally.


    Chen Lihua laid on the bed with the help of her mother and Liu Longwei. She was basically breathing through her mouth.


    The doctor took her pulse, temperature, and blood pressure, and then checked her urine. (That''s for the external examination).


    For the internal examination, the doctor has to check how much her cervix has opened.


    Chen Lihua was shocked that the doctor wanted to put her fingers inside her. Liu Longwei has been the only one to touch her there apart from herself while bathing, and then maybe when she was small as they washed that area for her.


    Liu Huiling knew Chen Lihua wouldn''t be comfortable with so many people watching, so she guided the rest out, leaving only Chen Lihua with Liu Longwei and the doctor.


    When the doctor put her fingers inside her, Chen Lihua screamed in pain and struggled.


    "Hold her down!." The doctor instructed Liu Longwei.

 Chapter 465 - Beginning of Labor

    When the doctor put her fingers inside her, Chen  Lihua screamed in pain and struggled.


    "Hold her down!." The doctor instructed Liu Longwei.


    "You''re five centimeters (2 inches) dilated, which means your cervix is halfway to its complete opening. You are already in the first stage of labor. okay right now, I need you to walk around, do some exercise, yoga will help at this point. You can chat, read, just have fun and practice your breathing exercises." The doctor said to them.


    "Doctor, I need to pee." Chen Lihua said in pain.


    "Please go ahead." The doctor said after cleaning her up.


    Liu Longwei kept saying sorry to her as he escorted her to the bathroom to relieve herself.


    Just when she was done using the bathroom, the doctor informed her that she could have a warm bath if she wanted to.


    Chen Lihua didn''t think she could stand having a normal shower, so she kicked against that idea.


    She didn''t trust herself and knew she didn''t have the patience to be patient.


    "It''s good you helped me to shave before you went on a trip, otherwise, that place would not have been good to look at during delivery." Chen Lihua commented as she held unto his arm.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/beginning-of-labor_52197546445032263 for visiting.


    "Yeah, I did what I could for you, since I wouldn''t be bearing the pain." Liu Longwei said as he leads the way out of the room.


    The doctor just said they should exercise. Chen Lihua was allowed to drink water, but not allowed to eat anymore, because the food may make her sick during labor.


    The rest of the family members just stayed clear and allowed the husband and wife to have all the time to themselves.


    But they were close by to guide them.


    After walking up and down the stairs twice, Chen Lihua felt she would faint from the pain of contraction and the stress of climbing up and down the stairs.


    Liu Longwei assisted her to sit down on a padded chair down the stairs as he uncapped a bottle of water and handed it to her.


    "The doctor said you should drink more water so you can urinate often as this will help to push the baby downwards."


    Chen Lihua took the bottle of water from him and drank from it. She drank up to half of its content before passing the bottle back to him.


    "Let''s make a move." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "No, I''m tired, I want to rest." Chen Lihua said, refusing to listen to him.


    "Okay, go ahead and rest." Liu Longwei said, taking pity on her. He could very well understand what she was going through.


    "Soon, I may not be in my right senses, so I want to start apologizing to you beforehand, just in case  I talk to you or treat you badly. Also, I want to get the footage of my baby''s birth since I won''t be able to tell whatever that will go on." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Sweetheart, your wish is my command. I want you to know that I will never hold anything against you." Liu Longwei said to her as he gazed into her tired eyes.


    "Lihua, what are you doing sitting there? You should be walking up and down the stairs, not sitting at a place. Hurry up and get up." Madam said as she approached them with Lady Chen walking beside her.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei didn''t even know when they got to their side.


    "Mum, I want to rest, I''m tired." Chen Lihua said, whining like a child.


    "Yes mum, let Lihua rest a little, she is very tired." Liu Longwei pleaded for her.


    "Look at this people." Lady Chen said with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    "Do you think you''re doing her any good by allowing her to rest when she hasn''t done anything?." Lady Chen asked Liu Longwei.


    "We get that you are expressing your love to her, but sorry, this is not the right time for it. After she gives birth, you can continue from where you guys stopped." Madam Liu said to them as she urged Chen Lihua to get up.


    Liu Longwei had no choice but to help his already frowning wife up from the seat as they proceeded to climb up and down the stairs.


    From that vigorous exercise, they moved back to the room where the doctor checked on her and the baby (fetal heart monitoring) to ensure the labor was proceeding normally.


    "Your blood pressure is rising again." The doctor said in a worried tone but didn''t show it on her face, as that would get the couple worried and worked up.


    "Switch to Yoga, and then practice all the breathing techniques, I will guide you through this one." The doctor said to Chen Lihua.


    "Doctor, for the Yoga exercises, do you need me to get her coach?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "That''s not necessary Mr. Liu, I can handle it." The doctor assured him with a slight smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua kept drinking water and passing urine while exercising.


    At last, when the doctor asked her to come over to the bed for her checkup, it could be seen that her baby bump had gone down considerably. And in no time, her baby bump would be reaching the floor.


    During her Yoga exercise when she was using the stability ball, she kept breathing through her mouth because of the painful contractions.


    When Liu Longwei said ''sorry'' to her, she was happy and touched. But when he kept repeating that same word to her, she got annoyed and irritated, so she sent him a warning glare.


    Right now, she can''t afford to waste her breath or anybody, she already had a handful to deal with.


    She kept telling Liu Longwei all manner of things because of her temper.


    "Don''t get close to me!."


    "Pretend as if you are not seeing me, so turned around."


    "Come and massage my back, is painful."


    When did she say that ????the doctor wondered why she instructed her to exercise with the ball if it was not to soothe her back pain? Then why else does she need a massage, does she want to trouble her husband because she can''t bear the pain?


    "Longwei, please pass me the bottle of water."


    (Oh! She forgot to use the word ''Darling'' ???? or more like she was not in the mood to use any sugar-coated words because she wasn''t finding things funny).


    (JUST A LITTLE REMINDER: Unpredictable Marriage will be ending this month or latest the beginning of April. So please, show all the love you can do this work, and I the author ????)

 Chapter 466 - Preventing her from getting seizures during delivery

    Chen Lihua kept troubling Liu Longwei, but he never got angry with her. He even found her never-ending change of facial expressions.


    Sometimes, he would look for her trouble, as if daring her on what she can do.


    The second time he tried looking for her trouble, he was caught by Lady Chen who came to check things out.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/preventing-her-from-getting-seizures-during-delivery_52213116506789803 for visiting.


    Since his wife didn''t want to see him, he had to make her stare at him, so he squats some distance away from her, where her hands would not be able to reach him.


    He also took away the bottle of water that was beside her, just in case she wanted to throw it on him.


    He exchanged glances with Chen Lihua with a smirk on his face. Chen Lihua just had to shut her eyes just in case she was tempted to kill him out of anger.


    And it was at this point that Lady Chen walked into the room and caught him red-handed.


    "Are you trying the limit to her patience?." Lady Chen asked him with a smirk on her face and as she folded her arms.


    Liu Longwei smiled without saying anything.


    "Just be careful with her, you know she turns into a tigress when she is angry, and especially at this time she is going through pain." Lady Chen reminded him.


    "Mum, you know I can hear you right?!." Chen Lihua asked through gritted teeth with her eyes still shut, as she continued to practice her exercise and breathing techniques.


    "Yeah, I know. I''m leaving... I just came by to check on you, and I can see you are doing pretty well." Lady Chen said as she turned to walk away.


    "Thank you. But please take this man that is staring at me like a piece of candy away, he is distracting me." Chen Lihua said to her mother while still maintaining her initial position.


    "No, stay with him. You need at least one family member to stay with you now, and be is a perfect choice. If I were to stay with you, I will be tempted to give you a piece of my mind when you give me those attitudes. Your husband has a high level of tolerance which I lack, so, stay with him." Lady Chen said before she finally stepped out of the room, and closed the door behind her.


    Chen Lihua opened her eyes and glanced at the closed door while asking in a low annoyed tone, "Like seriously, who asked you stay?."


    Seeing how angry and frustrated his wife was, Liu Longwei got the cue to disappear before she returned to her position.


    And truly when Chen Lihua turned back, she didn''t see Liu Longwei up close, so she closed her eyes and continued with her exercises.


    Chen Lihua took a bathroom break after the doctor checked up on her.


    "Come and lie down, your cervix has fully dilated." The doctor said to her when she returned.


    "Now, you can''t take any more water, but you still can. But I''m just avoiding you doing something embarrassing during labor." The doctor added while giving her a meaningful glance.


    The bed was now arranged, and the delivery mat had already been placed on the bed, so Chen Lihua lay on the bed as the doctor adjusted the upper part of it.


    "Like peeing on the bed, or my child?." Chen Lihua asked as she stretched her legs.


    "Yes, something like that. I shouldn''t bother about it, but I''m worried you might regret your actions, so I decided to warn you. But that doesn''t mean you can''t drink water if you want to." The doctor said to her.


    "Thank you for your kind reminder, but I''m not taking any more water." Chen Lihua said to her before shutting her eyes.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly after trying hard to hold in his laughter. The doctor really knew his wife so well.


    Chen Lihua could hear him chuckle, but she was not in the mood to bother with him. All she was thinking about ways on how to give birth to their child and have peace of mind, nothing more.


    At this moment, Liu Dongmei was called in, so she can record the whole process of childbirth. But Liu Longwei asked her to leave the place the phone at a good angle and leave, but Chen Lihua stopped him.


    Liu Dongmei was happy to stay.


    The doctor didn''t need a crowd in the room, so she only allowed Liu Longwei and Liu Dongmei to stay as Chen Lihua''s family members.


    There were two nurses in the room as well. Actually, one was an anesthesiologist.


    Preeclampsia can also affect the baby, especially during the stressful process of delivery. Complications that could arise for the baby during delivery include Impairment of blood and oxygen flow across the placenta, the placenta detaching from the uterus too early, or placental eruption, complications associated with prematurity, such as breathing problems due to underdeveloped lungs, or even death.


    With all these, and her high blood pressure, the doctor can''t delay the labor anymore, so she injected her with the hormone, Oxytocin to start labor.


    During labor, management of preeclampsia involves medications that help to stabilize the blood pressure and prevent seizures. Magnesium sulfate may be injected to prevent seizures.


    Because the doctor saw the signs earlier, that Chen Lihua might experience seizures, so she got the magnesium sulfate ready just before her contractions got stronger.


    The doctor also gave Chen Lihua anti-hypertension drugs such as hydralazine (Apresoline) and labetalol (Normodyne, Trandate) to lower her blood pressure gradually.


    Chen Lihua was also given gas (a mixture of Oxygen and another gas called nitrous oxide) to breathe in.


    Because the doctor couldn''t monitor everything, one of the nurses was in charge to continually monitor Chen Lihua''s knee reflexes after she received the magnesium sulfate.


    Loss of knee reflexes is the first sign of hypermagnesemia, or elevated magnesium levels in the blood, which can lead to respiratory paralysis and cardiac arrest if not monitored.


    (Babies born prematurely due to preeclampsia may also experience numerous long-term health issues depending on how early they were born. These include learning disorders, physical disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, deafness, blindness).


    But God was on Chen Lihua''s side because her baby wouldn''t experience any health issues. And to make sure of that, the doctor checked and monitored the baby for a long time.


    The only thing the doctor hopes for, was for Chen Lihua not to experience seizures during the birth of the baby, and end up suffocating him.


    So, she gave her magnesium sulfate to prevent her from getting seizures.

 Chapter 467 - The excruciating pain of Childbirth

    The only thing the doctor hopes for, was for Chen Lihua not to experience seizures during the birth of the baby, and end up suffocating him.


    So, she gave her magnesium sulfate to prevent her from getting seizures.


    At every point, Liu Longwei kept asking questions to know what was given to his wife, and the reason for it, while still watching over her.


    Because Chen Lihua was in so much pain, she couldn''t even talk or ask questions, so Liu Longwei did the talking for her.


    The doctor said to Chen Lihua, "Mrs. Liu, I need you to keep your hands under your laps as support. Don''t take your hands off no matter what happens."


    Then the doctor turned to one of the nurses to say, "keep track of her blood pressure and the baby''s heartbeat. If you notice something amiss alert me immediately."


    Chen Lihua''s delivery had a very high risk, so they needed to be extremely careful, so nothing goes wrong.


    As for asking her to place her hands under her laps, the doctor didn''t want her to be tempted to bring her legs down during the birth of her child, due to the pain.


    "Mrs. Liu, I need you to push each time you feel the contractions. You can see from the monitor, that your baby is close." The doctor instructed as she pointed out.


    Chen Lihua managed to nod in response.


    "Good! Mr. Liu, please pass the oxygen mask to her, at least that would help ease the pain from the contraction, a little."


    Liu Longwei took the oxygen mask and fixed it for Chen Lihua, so she can breathe in the gas.


    He could very well see that his wife was in so much pain, and it breaks his heart to see her in so much pain without knowing how to help her ease the pain.


    He loved his wife so much and therefore couldn''t bear to see her go through struggles or pain. But right now, he was currently watching bee go through the painful experience of childbirth, with nothing to help with.


    "Sweetheart, I''m sorry for all of these. I should have listened to you when you said you weren''t ready to have a child. I should have allowed you to be prepared before...." Liu Longwei said to her with a guilty conscience but was cut off mid-sentence.


    Chen Lihua shook her head as a tear rolled down the side of her eyes as she gazed at him. She wanted to reach out to him with her hand, but he noticed her movements and stopped her by placing his hand on her own.


    "I understand." Liu Longwei said to her.


    They gazed at each other before they were interrupted as Chen Lihua was suddenly hit by a great wave of pain.


    "Mrs. Liu, I need you to push now!." The doctor instructed.


    Chen Lihua shut her eyes and pushed as hard as she could.


    "Add a little more strength, Mrs. Liu, in ten to fifteen minutes, we should see the baby''s head." The doctor said to her, encouraging her with her words.


    Her words did fuel Chen Lihua because Chen Lihua gave it her all.


    "Okay stop! When you feel the contractions again, push. Mr. Liu, you will take off the mask before she pushes, and allow her to catch her breath before you place the mask back." The doctor instructed.


    Chen Lihua breathed heavily as more tears rolled down her eyes. She was in excruciating pain!


    Liu Longwei could not bear to see her in pain, so he looked away. If he was a very emotional person, he would have joined her to cry.


    But actually, he was fighting very hard not to let a tear drop down from his eyes, he needed to be strong for his wife, and son.


    "Lihua dear just gives it your best, you''ve been doing great so far!." Liu Dongmei said in encouragement, as managed to hide her voice because she was crying as well.


    "Yes Mrs. Liu, the pain is only for this moment. When you see your child, I promise you that the joy of being a mother would make you forget the pain." The doctor said as she looked into her eyes.


    Chen Lihua mouthed a ''thank you''!Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/the-excruciating-pain-of-childbirth_52213705722614885 for visiting.


    After ten minutes of struggles, and pain, the baby''s head could be seen.


    Chen Lihua cried out as she pushed with her might.


    "Great, I can see the baby''s head, give me your hand, come, touch him." The doctor said as she grabbed Chen Lihua''s hand and placed it on her baby''s head.


    Chen Lihua felt the hair on her baby''s head, and she smiled as she cried more.


    "Ssshhh! Sweetheart, you''re doing a great job. Our baby is almost here." Liu Longwei whispered to her as he wiped the tears and the beads of sweat on her face and neck, before kissing her forehead.


    Liu Dongmei couldn''t control her tears, so she ran out of the room after setting the phone in a good angle, so it can capture the remaining section of delivery.


    Liu Longwei watched her as she ran away, but he didn''t call her back. He could understand.


    When Liu Dongmei ran out of the room, she ran past the women that were standing right outside the door.


    And no matter how loud they called her, she didn''t stop in her steps.


    "Dongmei, what happened?!."


    "How is Lihua?!."


    "Is everything alright?!."


    "Where are you running to?!."


    The four women asked in panicked voices.


    The delivery room was soundproofed, so they couldn''t tell what was going on.


    Liu Huiling glanced in the direction Liu Dongmei ran off to and then glanced at the closed doors of the delivery room.


    Then she turned to say to the women, "Mum, please check on Dongmei, I will go in and check on Lihua. If I don''t come out immediately, just know the situation is under control."


    "Yes, please go on and check on Lihua, and tell us if there is a problem, we will be out here praying." Lady Chen said to Liu Huiling in a worried tone.

 Chapter 468 - The Birth of their Son

    Lady Chen and Old Madam Liu sat outside the room to wait, while Madam Liu went to check on Liu Dongmei.


    As Liu Huiling walked in, she closed the door behind her. But the women were able to hear Chen Lihua''s screams from the little moment the door opened, and before it was shut.


    Liu Longwei walked in to see Chen Lihua in tears as she pushed her baby, while Liu Longwei was standing at the side and wiping her sweats as he encouraged her.


    Liu Huiling hurried to their side. She could see the baby''s head, so she smiled as she glanced at Chen Lihua.


    "Lihua, you are a strong woman. Soon, you can hold your baby."


    Chen Lihua glanced at her and tried to smile, but she couldn''t. Liu Huiling understood her predicament, so she smiled as she said to her, "Don''t stress yourself, I understand.


    "Mrs. Liu, the next contraction that comes, you will have to put in more effort to fully deliver the head of the baby. Remember, you can''t stop, your you will suffocate the child, do you understand?." The doctor said to her in a serious tone.


    Chen Lihua nodded in response as she laid back on the bed and shut her eyes.


    "After the head is born, the rest of the body won''t be a problem, because one gentle push is enough for it. And it''s great you don''t need a cut for your baby to be delivered." The doctor said to her.


    "Lihua, you can do this." Liu Longwei encouraged.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know what else to tell her, so he wiped her tears and kissed the corner of her lips.


    "Sweetheart, everything will be over soon, just bear for a little while." He said to her.


    Suddenly, Chen Lihua''s facial expression changed, and it can be seen that the contractions were coming on strong.


    "Good! Mrs. Liu, I need you to push with all you might, don''t stop until I tell you too." The doctor said as she got in position.


    "Now push!." The doctor said with her hands on the baby''s head.


    Chen Lihua pushed with all her might. Although she was weak, she still had to continue.


    What was going through her mind was a lot?


    ''Baby, please come out quickly and be safe.'' She said to herself as she pushed harder, and struggled with her breath.


    "Dr, she''s losing her breath." The nurse who keeping checks on Chen Lihua announced to the doctor.


    "Mrs. Liu, don''t stop pushing, you can''t stop now, or the baby might suffocate!." The doctor said with much urgency in her voice.


    "Doctor, what are you doing? Can''t you see that she is not breathing properly?!." Liu Longwei asked in a tensed tone. He was already starting to panic.


    "Mr. Liu, I know what I''m doing. Please pass the mask to her to breathe." The doctor said to him without losing concentration.


    "Mrs. Liu, you''re doing great, the baby''s head is almost out. Breathe through the mask and stay calm. Remember, you can''t pause for a long time." The doctor reminded as she helped to push the baby''s head out.


    Even with the mask, Chen Lihua was trying hard to breathe.


    "Dr, her blood pressure is rising." The nurse said after checking Chen Lihua''s blood pressure.


    "I knew this would happen, but I didn''t think it would be so soon." The doctor said in a low voice.


    "Doctor, what''s happening to my wife?." Liu Longwei asked in a worried tone as he gazed between his struggling wife and the doctor.


    "Doctor, what''s wrong with her?." Liu Huiling asked worriedly.


    "It''s the Preeclampsia. But don''t worry, everything will be fine." The doctor said to them.


    "She is showing early signs of seizures. Quick, we need to deliver the baby immediately!." The doctor said with much urgency in her tone.


    "Prepare another shot of magnesium sulfate and take the drip off her hand, and start preparing for an emergency. Immediately the baby is delivered, give her the other injection so the placenta can be delivered. And immediately after that, give her the magnesium sulfate. And Mr. Liu, Immediately the placenta is delivered, I will need you to hold your wife down." The doctor instructed.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei said.


    Liu Huiling was scared that something might go wrong, so she started to pray in her heart. Then she gave Chen Lihua a look of encouragement.


    Chen Lihua on the other hand, wasn''t herself as she couldn''t comprehend what was going on. She could tell that something was about to go wrong, but she couldn''t even ask questions.


    "Doctor, if worse comes to worst, I just need my wife." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.


    To him, his wife was more important than their child. They can still have another child, but he can never get her back if he loses her.


    "Mr. Liu do not worry, the situation is under control." The doctor assured him.


    Just then, the baby''s head came out, and his face could be seen.


    Liu Huiling smiled with tears in her eyes as she said to Chen Lihua.


    "Lihua dear, your baby''s head is out, and he is one cute little boy."


    "Yes, Mrs. Liu, your baby is cute." The doctor added before instructing her to continue pushing. In less than three minutes, the baby''s body was entirely born, and he started to cry.


    The doctor cut the umbilical cord and clipped the one at the baby''s navel as she said to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei, "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Liu, you have a handsome boy here!."


    "Wife we did it, you did it!." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her sweaty forehead.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she cried tears of joy...


    ''Yes! I did it!.'' She said to herself.


    "Congratulations Brother, Congratulations Lihua. I have to go and announce the good news." Liu Huiling said before running out.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/the-birth-of-their-son_52243618274002540 for visiting.


    The doctor cleaned the baby up a little,  before handing him over to one of the nurses.


    "Clean him up quickly and cloth him, his mother needs to hold him in her arms."

 Chapter 469 - A miracle!

    The doctor cleaned the baby up a little,  before handing him over to one of the nurses.


    "Clean him up quickly and cloth him, his mother needs to hold him in her arms. Check his weight first, and record it with the time of his birth." The doctor said to the nurse.


    "Mrs. Liu, do not remove your hands from your abdomen till I tell you to. And also, push when I tell you to." The doctor instructed Chen Lihua.


    After Chen Lihua, delivered her son, the doctor instructed her to press onto her abdomen to prevent blood from going to her heart.


    "Is the magnesium sulfate ready?." The doctor asked the other nurse who has been keeping an eye on Chen Lihua''s blood pressure and heart rate.


    The doctor asked this question as she instructed Chen Lihua to push out the placenta when she felt a contraction.


    "Doctor, I don''t think she needs to take the shot." The nurse said as she glanced at the monitor.


    "Why is that?." The doctor asked.


    "Surprisingly, her heart rates are normal, and her blood pressure has gone back to normal." The nurse revealed in shock.


    "What do you mean, are you sure of what you''re saying?." The doctor asked in surprise, as she couldn''t believe what she just heard.


    "I''m sure of what I''m saying doctor, the results and evidence and are here." The nurse assured her.


    "Doctor, does it mean my wife is okay, and there is nothing to be worried about anymore?." Liu Longwei inquired in a hurried tone.


    "Yes, and that is a great miracle. But I will still check on her after she has delivered the placenta." The doctor said before moving her focus back to Chen Lihua.


    When the contraction came, Chen Lihua delivered the placenta, and the doctor started to clean her up.


    It was painful to Chen Lihua, because she just gave birth, and could still feel the pain, but the doctor just had to put her whole fist inside of her to clean up that place.


    "It''s almost done, Mrs. Liu." The doctor said to her when she cried out and tried closing her legs.


    "Sweetheart, this is the last step." Liu Longwei assured her in a low tone as he gazed into her eyes.


    A few minutes later, the doctor announced, "I''m done with the cleaning."


    And just then, the other nurse brought the crying newborn over.


    There were smiles on the faces of everyone in the room. Especially Chen Lihua, as this was her hard work.


    Chen Lihua stretched her hands towards her child, and the nurse carefully placed the baby in her arms.


    As if feeling and knowing he was in his mother''s embrace, he stopped crying.


    "Aww! ???? he''s so cute." Chen Lihua said as she smiled at her baby.


    "Darling isn''t our son cute?." Chen Lihua asked Liu Longwei with a happy smile on her face.


    "Yes, our son is cute, and he looks just like you." Liu Longwei said as he pouted.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly as she made little sounds to her baby.


    The doctor smiled at the newly formed family as she signaled one of the nurses to give Liu Longwei a seat, he has been standing for hours now.


    Liu Longwei wanted to sit on the bed, but he was scared his wife was still in pain, and wouldn''t have the strength to move.


    Liu Longwei sat on the seat as he gazed at his newborn son and his wife.


    "Sweetheart, you did it! Do you have any requests, this husband will make sure you get everything you ask for." Liu Longwei promised.


    "I don''t need much from you, I just need you to be there for us." Chen Lihua said, referring to herself and their child.


    "That''s my responsibility." Liu Longwei said with a smile on his face.


    "Okay. When I''ve thought of something, I will tell you." Chen Lihua said to him, before moving her gaze back to her child in her arms.


    The baby was so quiet as he gazed at his mother. His facial expression revealed that he knew how.


    This was their first meeting, but it seems the baby recognized his mother''s voice right from when he was still in the w.o.m.b.


    "See the way he is gazing at you, he must be happy to finally meet his mother." The doctor commented with a smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua quietly gazed at the child in her arms without saying anything again.


    The baby just kept staring at her with his black pupils. Then when Liu Longwei put his head forward, the baby glanced at him for some seconds before moving his gaze back to his mother.


    Next, he yawned and brought out his tongue. The little guy seemed hungry, but he was patiently gazing at his mother.


    Just then, the door swung open, and the five women walked inside and hurried to Chen Lihua''s side.


    "Oh my! What a cute little boy!." Liu Dongmei said as she smiled at the child.


    "I have a grandchild now, Well done Hua''er." Lady Chen said to Chen Lihua as she gently rubbed her head.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/a-miracle!_52245920108051852 for visiting.


    "Congratulations Lihua, and welcome to motherhood!." Madam Liu said happily.


    "It''s good the mother and child are fine. You did well my child." Old Madam Liu commended Chen Lihua.


    "Congratulations Lihua!." Liu Huiling said with a smile on her face.


    Then, she remembered the phone, so she went to pick it up and saved the video. She walked back to the bed with the phone and proceeded to take pictures of Chen Lihua with the baby in her embrace.


    She also captured all the family members staring at the baby, before taking selfies to get everybody in the room.


    "Your son is too quiet for a newborn, and why has he been staring at you for such a long time?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "I have no idea." Chen Lihua replied tiredly as she managed a smile.


    "Lihua is tired and has gone through a lot, we should allow her to take a break." Old Madam Liu said as she led the way out of the room, and the others had no choice but to follow after her.


    "Lihua my child, we will come back to see you and the baby later, we have a hot soup ???? on fire for you." Lady Chen said to her before kissing her forehead.


    "Rest well." Madam Liu said before walking away.


    "I don''t feel like leaving, I want to stay here." Liu Dongmei said as she made cute faces.

 Chapter 470 - B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding her baby

    "Rest well." Madam Liu said before walking away.


    "I don''t feel like leaving, I want to stay here." Liu Dongmei said as she made cute faces at the baby, but has was shocked at the outcome.


    The baby started crying ????.


    Liu Dongmei didn''t expect this as well, so she asked as she pointed a finger to herself, "I''m I the scary?."


    Liu Huiling smiled and dragged her away. "Let''s go before you scare the baby more."


    After the left, the distressed Chen Lihua tried to soothe her baby, and stop him from crying, but it was abortive.


    She felt pained seeing her little one crying as young as he was.


    "Doctor, why is the baby crying? Is there something wrong?." Liu Longwei asked worriedly.


    The doctor smiled as she replied, "The baby must be hungry. Mrs. Liu, try feeding him."


    "Oh... Okay!." Chen Lihua replied as looked at her crying child, and then at her zipped dress. She was in a dilemma and didn''t know how to unzip her dress with the baby in her arms.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding-her-baby_52258756423117430 for visiting.


    Liu Longwei noticed her difficulties, so he optioned to help her hold the child.


    Chen Lihua glanced at his outstretched arms, and at her crying baby as she contemplated.


    Right now, she would rather give the baby to the doctor or the nurses to hold, than hive him to Liu Longwei, because she felt he wouldn''t know how to hold a baby.


    Liu Longwei noticed her hesitation, and so he smiled as she asked, "What? You don''t trust your husband anymore?."


    At this time, the doctor came over to save the situation.


    "Mr. Liu, I will place the baby in your arms." The doctor said as she took the baby from Chen Lihua and gently placed him in his arms, as she showed him how to hold the baby.


    "You are doing very well Mr. Liu." The doctor said to him with a smile on her face.


    "Sweetheart, have you seen that I can hold a baby so well? You''ve forgotten that I followed you to most of your antenatal classes." Liu Longwei commented as he gazed proudly at his child that was looking at him curiously, as he wailed.


    "Oh!." Chen Lihua exclaimed softly as she unzipped her dress. Then, she glanced at the two nurses that were still in the room.


    The doctor smiled as she instructed the nurses to clean and sterilize the baby''s feed, and so get hot water ready to clean Chen Lihua''s body.


    One of the nurses left the room with the baby items, while the other one went into the bathroom and emerged a few seconds later with a wet towel and handed it to Chen Lihua.


    "Wipe your b.o.o.b.s with it." The doctor instructed.


    Chen Lihua was a little embarrassed her boos were going to be seen by an outsider, but her crying baby was hungry, so she couldn''t care about that now.


    She opened her dress to reveal her chest which was still covered with the sports bra. Next, she proceeded to take one of her b.o.o.b.s out and saw it dripping with milk.


    "Your baby''s cry can send signals for the release or secretion of his food." The doctor revealed with a smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua wiped her b.o.o.b.s with the warm wet towel before handing it to the doctor who in turn, passed it to the nurse that was standing at the side.


    The doctor then took the baby from Liu Longwei before placing him in Chen Lihua''s arms.


    With an arm holding the child, Chen Lihua used the other hand to direct her n.i.p.p.l.e into his mouth, and immediately, the baby stopped crying and started sucking it.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she watched her child suck his food away.


    "This little guy looks very hungry." Liu Longwei said with a smile on his face as he watched his son.


    "The baby can still survive the night if he doesn''t eat today. As you b.r.e.a.s.tfeed him, you feel some contractions, and that would help to remove some of the blood in your body. Alright, I will leave you three alone for now. Call me if there is anything, I will be right outside the door." The doctor informed them before walking out of the room with the other nurse who just came out from the bathroom.


    "Your b.o.o.b.s are almost bigger than his head." Liu Longwei said as he had his eyes fixed on the baby''s head and Chen Lihua''s b.o.o.b.s.


    "You... You... When will you stop being shameless?." Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he watched their son. He saw that the little guy had his eyes closed as he still sucked his mother''s boob, so he asked.


    "The milk must be delicious, even the little guy has his eyes closed. Can I have a taste?."


    Chen Lihua stared at him in shock. "Longwei, I think you need to leave the room. I''m still in pain remember."


    "Alright, but remember what I said." Liu Longwei said to her, ignoring her stares.


    Outside the room, Madam Liu and Lady Chen were busy cooking for Chen Lihua in the kitchen, they were elated. Now, they could finally see and hold their grandchild.


    Liu Huiling made calls to her father and Liu Liwei, sharing the goodness to them.


    The outcome could very well be guessed. They were happy. Liu Huang said he would come the next morning, while Liu Liwei said he would come that very day, even if he got there at midnight.


    When Lady Chen came out from the kitchen, she made calls back home to inform the family of the good news.


    Chen K wanted to hurry over immediately, but Lady Chen stopped him. "It''s late, come tomorrow morning. And besides, our daughter is exhausted and would need to sleep."


    It was late at night, around past 10 PM, so it was quite late.


    Lady Chen informed Aunt Lin and Changying. They were all very happy to receive the good news, and they rejoiced with them.


    "It''s good that Lihua and the baby are safe." Liu Dongmei said with a smile on her face.


    "Yeah. And I''m sure that after watching Lihua pass through this pain and process, the brother would be very overprotective of his wife and child." Liu Huiling said as she smiled.


    "Of course. Brother already loves his wife so much. But watching her go through the process of childbirth without helping her, he would swear with everything in him to keep his family safe." Liu Dongmei said.


    "That''s right Mei, why did you leave the delivery room mid-way, were you sad that something would go wrong?." Liu Huiling asked.

 Chapter 471 - Liu Dongmeis FEAR

    "That''s right Mei, why did you leave the delivery room mid-way, were you sad that something would go wrong?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "It''s not just about that." Liu Dongmei replied as she sighed to herself.


    "Then what''s the problem, what happened?." Liu Huiling asked curiously.


    Liu Dongmei sighed again. "Well, I couldn''t watch Lihua go through that pain, I couldn''t take it. I felt like I was the one passing through the pain instead of her, so I just had to run off somewhere to feel better."


    "Why are you talking as if you have never given birth to a child before?." Liu Huiling asked.


    "Sister, you might not know this, but I''m actually afraid of the pain that comes with childbirth, and that''s the reason I have only a child." Liu Dongmei revealed.


    "What?!." Liu Huiling exclaimed with an unbelievable and shocking expression on her face.


    "Yes.". Liu Dongmei confirmed her doubts.


    "Like seriously, you''re telling me you only have one child because you don''t want to have any more children because of the pain that comes with childbirth?."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/liu-dongmei''s-fear_52266257046627877 for visiting.


    "Yeah. I don''t want to go through that process again. You know, I almost lost my life back then. I had bleeding after delivering Anna. I was so scared that I thought I would die. So I promised myself not to have another child if I got out of that situation, so here I am." Liu Dongmei said, stating her reasons.


    "And I was here thinking you wanted to leave a huge gap between Anna and your next child, or maybe you and Boqin were too busy to attend to another child now. What about Boqin, what was his opinion on this matter?." Liu Huiling inquired further.


    "Well, at first he wasn''t okay with it because he wanted more children. He said we would be lonely when Anna marries out if she is our only child. He needed more children, but I didn''t need them." Liu Dongmei said.


    "So how did he agree with you?."


    "Very simple. I told him if he didn''t love me, and did not want me to live, we could go ahead and have another child. My words disturbed him to put him in a great dilemma for a few days. He remembered what I passed through during labor although he wasn''t around, but the news of my bleeding and needing a blood transfusion after childbirth got across to him."  Liu Dongmei said.


    "I really don''t know what to say. Well, the case is left for you. But it''s bad to be scared. Fear is really a bad thing. You can still have another child and nothing will happen to you, but first, you need to change that mindset that you might not survive during your next childbirth."


    "How do you think that would work?. Have for forgotten what happened to me back then?." Liu Dongmei asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    She just couldn''t believe that everything she just said was for nothing.


    She was saying all these to get her Sister''s support, but that seems to be not happening any time soon.


    "I didn''t lose my memories, they are well intact. I''m only advising you on the right things to do if you want to have another child but are still scared to. You know, your thoughts control your life a great deal. Whatever you think, so shall you become. So if you keep having negative thoughts about birthing another child, then your fears would really come through. So, you have to be careful of what you think about because your thoughts become the next you." Liu Huiling advised.


    "Bravo! You said so many things, and all I got was that I could have another child if I wanted to, and stop with the fears. Well, it''s not as easy and simple like you make it to look like." Liu Dongmei said as she looked away.


    "Of course is not easy and simple as you''re seeing it from the surface, but it''s actually simple. How did that thought of Fear start to penetrate you? Of course, you experienced something some other women experience, so now it brought fear into you. Now let me shock you, you''ve been meditating on that fear for a few years now, so it''s not going to be easy to shake it off easily, but that does not mean it''s impossible." Liu Huiling said to her, trying to penetrate her thoughts.


    "Ling, are you saying that I was unknowingly harboring fear in my mind?."


    "Yeah. The more you are afraid that something would happen, then it will surely happen, because all you think of is FEAR. Now imagine if you were thinking of having no issues with giving birth, and having a relaxed mind, then nothing will go wrong, because you already have a positive thought, and nothing to corrupt it. Look at Lihua for example, she was scared because of the stories she heard about childbirth. But what happened when she decided to come out of those thoughts? She was liberated from FEAR, and she gained her freedom and had a safe delivery".


    Liu Dongmei nodded in understanding as she paid rapt attention.


    "So you see the lesson here? According to the doctor, Lihua would have gotten seizures, and her blood pressure was already very high. And that might have been because of the Preeclampsia, or maybe because she was afraid something would go wrong. But what happened after, her blood pressure miraculously returned to normal. I just want you to think about all I''ve said and meditate on them." Liu Huiling said to her.


    "I don''t think there is much to think on it, I understood everything you said." Liu Dongmei said in reply.


    "Mei, I''m serious here. You might have heard and understood everything, but that does not mean you are willing to change from those absurd thoughts. You might even forget everything I said by tomorrow morning, so I want you to think things through, take your time. And if you''ve decided to have another child, then I will do everything to make sure you are at peace with yourself." Liu Huiling promised.

 Chapter 472 - Watching over his sleeping wife with the child in his arms

    The matter concluded that Liu Dongmei would think about everything she said.


    Back in the delivery room, Chen Lihua was already fast asleep, leaving the child in Liu Longwei''s arms.


    She was so tired that even the knock on the door didn''t wake her up.


    "Is she asleep?." The doctor asked as she came in with the nurses and Chen Lihua''s two mothers.


    "Yes. She was so tired that she b.r.e.a.s.tfed the baby with closed eyelids." Liu Longwei said with a smile on his face.


    It was so rare to see that particular smile on his face. It was a smile that revealed the joy of him being a father.


    "She must have been so tired from going through all that stress." Madam Liu said with a smile on her face as she glanced at the sleeping baby in Liu Longwei''s arms.


    "But I must say, that Lihua''s labor didn''t last long. She has birthed in less than 24-hours after she started having mild contractions." Lady Chen said with a smile on her face as she glanced at the fast asleep Chen Lihua,  before glancing at her grandson.


    "I must say, your daughter is a strong woman! She gave it her all even when things were difficult for her, to the point that she was losing her breath." The doctor said to the two mothers.


    "What?!." Lady Chen and Madam Liu both exclaimed in shock.


    How come no one told them about it?!


    "Yes, but everything went on well, she didn''t give up." The doctor said to them with an encouraging smile.


    "I didn''t know my daughter was this strong, because she has always been afraid of pain. And she looked scared towards the end of her delivery date." Lady Chen said.


    "How can you think like that? You are a strong woman, so anything that comes out of you should be strong, so don''t underestimate Lihua. And besides, a mother can go to any length for her child." Madam Liu said to her.


    "Alright, let''s come back later to check on her, so we don''t disturb their sleep." Lady Chen said, referring to Chen Lihua and the newborn child.


    Liu Longwei watched as the two mothers left, before looking back at the baby sleeping quietly in his arms.


    "Mr. Liu, you know you can lay the baby down in his cot, right?." The doctor smiled as she smiled kindly.


    "I know. I just want to hold him for a little while longer." Liu Longwei said in a low voice as he walked around the room.


    "Alright." The doctor said and went to sit on the chair arranged for her.


    "Doctor, have you and the nurses had something to eat yet?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yes, we just had dinner, thank you!." The doctor said and returned to her work.


    The nurses wanted to thank him, but he stopped them with a wave of his hand. He just knew they were going to thank him in unison, and their voices may wake the child or Chen Lihua.


    "Mr. Liu, I would suggest not to carry your child in your arms when he is asleep as he grows. If you continue with this, the baby will not be able to sleep comfortably if he is not in someone''s arms. Now, you might see anything wrong with pampering him, but as he grows, you might not find the situation funny." The doctor advised in a soft tone.


    "Thank you, doctor!." Liu Longwei said with a smile ????.


    The doctor looked away with a smirk on her face. Just now she doesn''t even know if what she said to him, sank into his heart.


    But from his actions, she didn''t think that he would listen to her.


    Well, she has already given him advice for future use, so, it was now left for him to take it or not.


    "Doctor, won''t he get a cold since he''s not wearing any clothes?." Liu Longwei asked in a worried tone.


    After the child was cleaned up, he was only wrapped with a cotton shawl.


    "No, it''s okay."


    "When will they get to have a bath?." Liu Longwei asked, referring to his wife and child.


    "Normally, the baby gets to have his first bath, the day he''s leaving the hospital. So now, the baby will have a bath tomorrow. As for your wife, she can''t move a lot, because she''s still in pain, so I will clean her body after she''s had her dinner, then tomorrow morning, She can have a bath. But if she insists on a bath this night, then there''s no problem, because it will help her a lot more than cleaning." The doctor said.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei replied.


    "You can take a sit with the baby in your arms, you know?." The doctor reminded him.


    Liu Longwei walked back to his seat and sat with the baby in his arms. Then, he glanced at his sleeping wife and smiled more.


    When Liu Dongmei came to call him to eat, he refused, saying that he wasn''t hungry.


    Liu Dongmei laughed at him as she took a picture of him holding the baby in his arms as he watched over mother and son, before going to show it off to the others.


    "Did you call Longwei to come and eat?." Madam Liu asked Liu Dongmei as soon as she returned to the living room.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/watching-over-his-sleeping-wife-with-the-child-in-his-arms_52290257072218585 for visiting.


    "Yes, but he said he''s not hungry, but I doubt that because he is busy watching over his wife with his son sleeping in his arms." Liu Dongmei laughed as she showed off the picture she took, it was just for this moment.


    Madam Liu walked towards her and took a look at her phone, then, she smiled. "He must be very happy. But I have to go and call him."


    As she said that, she started walking away. And from her peripheral view, she saw Lady Chen serving food on the dining table, so she changed direction.


    "Ju Ju, cover the food. He said he''s not hungry, but I''m going to persuade him." Madam Liu said to her.


    "Why?." Lady Chen asked.


    "He is carrying his sleeping child in his arms, and also watching over his sleeping wife. The amazing thing is that the baby''s cot was there, and the doctor and nurses are there as well, so what is he worried about?!.


    "Let him be. He is bound to be very happy, and also worried, so he wouldn''t want to leave their sight. Allow him to spend more time with them." Lady Chen said to her with a pleasant smile on her face.

 Chapter 473 - Liu Wei Taio

    "Let him be. He is bound to be very happy, and also worried, so he wouldn''t want to leave their sight. Allow him to spend more time with them." Lady Chen said to her with a pleasant smile on her face.


    "Okay. Mother is asleep now. I had to force her to take a rest because of her age. You know, she can''t stay awake for long because of her age." Madam Liu said, referring to Old Madam Liu.


    Chen Lihua slept for a long time. And when she woke up, she saw Liu Longwei staring at their child with a loving smile on his face.


    "You''re awake?." Liu Longwei asked with a smile on his face.


    "Yeah. How is the baby?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "He''s fine. He has been obedient." Liu Longwei said in reply.


    "Have you thought of a name for him?." Chen Lihua inquired.


    "Liu Wei." Liu Longwei announced.


    "Great!. That name is deserving for him." Chen Lihua said.


    "What about you, what would you like to call him?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Taio. That''s the nickname I''m giving to him. It means, distinguished/great person." Chen Lihua said.


    "I can see we both chose similar names for him. Our son is destined to be great!." Liu Longwei commented.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/liu-wei-taio_52294818579138803 for visiting.


    The name  Wei  means Great. So, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua gave different names with the same meaning.


    Their hearts are really intertwined, and they think alike.


    "Mrs. Liu, do you want me to clean you up, or would you like to have a hot shower now?." The doctor came asking.


    "Please, I would opt for a shower." Chen Lihua said.


    "Alright, the water is ready. Come and have a bath now before the baby wakes up, and you also need to eat before he wakes." The doctor reminded her.


    "Yeah, I''m very hungry right now, and I can eat a whole cow. At least sleeping, helped me get a little of my strength back." Chen Lihua said as she slowly sat up.


    Her face squeezed in pain as a gasp escaped from her mouth.


    "Take it easy, and walk slowly. You will still feel a little pain down there for some days  before you get comfortable." The doctor advised.


    "Sweetheart sorry, and please take it easy with your steps." Liu Longwei said to her in a low tone.


    Chen Lihua slowly came down from the bed and was escorted to the bathroom with the doctor''s help.


    While she was bathing, she kept whimpering, because the doctor pressed her stomach with hot water as she massaged her body.


    It was quite a painful experience, but she understood that it was necessary, and for her good.


    Liu Longwei could hear her voice from the room, and he felt pity for her.


    After taking her bath, Chen Lihua was dressed in comfortable clothe and ready to eat. But the, her child woke up from sleep.


    Surprisingly, he was not crying, because he should be hungry by now. He was just moving his little arms and legs as he licked his lips and blinked his eyes.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei smiled at their little bun of happiness.


    "Let''s go to the dining room. I''m sure the servants have been itching to see you and the baby, and also congratulate you for giving them a young master." Liu Longwei teased.


    "Alright let''s make use of the dining room." Chen Lihua said.


    Liu Longwei smiled in response as he carried the child in his arms and led the way with Chen Lihua walking behind him with a nurse by her side to support her.


    They went to the dining hall after the baby was dressed in his clothes.


    "Congratulations Sir and Madam!." This greeting came from the servants in the house and they all gathered and congratulated Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua as they bowed.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei said in response.


    "You all will receive a hundred percent bonus at the end of this month and will go on a vacation the next time we will be going for one." Liu Longwei announced to them.


    "Thank you, Sir and Ma''am for your generosity!." The servants said with excited expressions on their faces.


    "You''re welcome!." Chen Lihua replied to them with a smile on her face.


    Out of happiness, Liu Longwei went ahead to officially introduce their little young master to them and also allowed them to take a peek at him.


    The servants were more than happy for this opportunity, so they took it so well.


    The child in Liu Longwei''s arms gave curious glances at the people that came to take a look at him.


    He could see the smiles on their faces, but he couldn''t understand what it meant. So he just gazed at any one of them that caught his attention by moving close to him.


    The servants marveled at the overloaded cuteness of their young master.


    "Your child is strong, bold, and courageous. He is not even afraid of the crowd." Lady Chen said as she walked over with Madam Liu.


    The servants made space for them, so they could get to the child.


    "Yes, and I''m not surprised." Liu Longwei said with a proud smile on his face.


    "Can  I hold him?." Lady Chen requested as she stretched her arms towards the child.


    "Yes of course." Liu Longwei said as he handed the child over to her.


    Lady Chen smiled as she took the child in her arms, this was her grandson, her first grandchild.


    "Look at the way he''s gazing at us." Madam Liu said with a smile, as she touched the baby''s cheeks.


    "Congratulations once again to you two!." Madam Liu said as she glanced at Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei.


    "Thank you, mother!." They chorused in unison.


    "Have you given him a name?." Madam Liu asked them as she gave at the child with a loving smile on her face.


    "Yes. His name is  Liu Wei Taio." Liu Longwei announced with a proud smile on his face.


    "Liu Wei  Taio?

 Chapter 474 - I cant see your tears...

    "Have you given him a name?." Madam Liu asked them as she gave at the child with a loving smile on her face.


    "Yes. His name is Liu Wei Taio." Liu Longwei announced with a proud smile on his face.


    "Liu Wei Taio?." Lady Chen asked in surprise.


    "Yes. His father gave him the name, ''Liu Wei'', and I gave him the nickname, ''Taio''. We hope that he would be great in the future." Chen Lihua said with a hopeful smile.


    "That''s a wonderful name for him! I can see greatness in him already!." Madam Liu said as she touched the baby''s cheeks again.


    The baby glanced at her and stretched his arms and licked his lips as he closed and opened his eyes.


    "Awwnn! He''s so cute!." Lady Chen said as she gushed over the little guy.


    "Lihua, come and eat, so you will get the strength to feed your child. Look, the little guy is hungry." Madam Liu said as she pointed at the little guy who just yawned and took his tongue out.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said as Liu Longwei supported her and they all walked towards the dining area.


    Even while eating, Chen Lihua had her eyes on her son.


    "Concentrate and eat, the child will not run away." Liu Longwei said to her in a smile after he noticed her gaze on their son severally.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she replied, "Sorry, but I can''t help it."


    "I understand. Eat up quickly, mother said the child is hungry." Liu Longwei said to her in a kind reminder.


    "Mmmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply as she drank a little from the hot soup in her bowl.


    "Drink more of the soup, mother said it will help a lot with the cleaning of your w.o.m.b. It will also help for your stomach to go down." Liu Longwei reminded her as he added more soup to her bowl.


    "Yeah, I know. And I can feel something dropping on my pants." Chen Lihua said as she sent some leafy green vegetables into her mouth.


    Liu Longwei gazed at her in shock, "Do you want the doctor to take a look at you?."


    "Oh, that is not a problem, it''s normal. And I''m putting on a special kind of pad." Chen Lihua announced.


    "Oh okay." Liu Longwei said as he relaxed.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/i-can''t-see-your-tears..._52345278556072280 for visiting.


    Just now he was worked up.


    After the birth, the mothers would lose blood from the v.a.g.i.n.a for a few days. The blood may come in large clots from time to time. After that, the mothers will go on to experience a brownish discharge for some weeks.


    The discharge will gradually get less and less as time goes on. Ordinary sanitary towels are recommended during this period instead of tampons, and Chen Lihua is currently using a pad.


    Actually, there is a risk of infection if you use tampons in the early weeks after the birth.


    Just before she could finish eating, the baby started to cry, and Chen Lihua abandoned the rest of the food.


    She couldn''t continue eating when her child was crying because he was hungry, she couldn''t handle it.


    She took her baby in her arms and sat on a special seat made exclusively for her, for her post-natal care.


    Now she has given birth, she needs to sit on a hard seat without soft leathers, and the right one was just prepared for her.


    This would help get her steps back in shape and help in a little coordination.


    Chen Lihua glanced at people around, just when she was about to expose her chest. Then she covered her chest back and walked away with the child in her arms.


    "Is Lihua serious right now?!." Liu Dongmei asked in shock as she watched Chen Lihua walk away with the child.


    The other smiled as Lady Chen said as she looked towards the direction Chen Lihua walked towards.


    "I can''t believe this daughter of mine is still so shy even after giving birth."


    "And I love like that!." Liu Longwei announced before walking away with a smile on his face.


    "Awww! Brother is such a romantic." Liu Dongmei said with a hand over her face.


    "I love their love story, our husbands need to learn from Longwei!." Madam Liu said with a smile on her face as she watched her son walk away.


    "Yes, they really have to learn from him." Lady Chen added.


    The reason Liu Longwei was in support of Chen Lihua was that he felt she was protecting what belongs to him, and she didn''t want outsiders to see it apart from him and the child.


    That''s rights, her b.o.o.b.s were his property. He was the permanent owner. But for now, he has to share it with their son.


    Yes, he has to share it with his son. Even though his son would be eating from it, that would not stop him from taking charge whenever he wanted to.


    Liu Longwei was that shameless. But let''s see if Chen Lihua would allow him to come close to her ????


    Liu Longwei found Chen Lihua in the delivery room with the crying child in her arms.


    "Doctor, I will take it from here. Is there something else you need to show us or tell us about the baby?." Liu Longwei asked.


    He was purposely chasing the doctor and the nurses away because he knew that his shy wife might move locations if they didn''t leave.


    "Nothing else. I''ve shown you how to lay the baby down. And for now, there is nothing else." The doctor said before leaving the room with the nurses.


    "Good night!." Chen Lihua said to them.


    After they left, Chen Lihua asked for Liu Longwei''s help.


    Liu Longwei held the child in his arms, and he stopped crying for a while as he gazed at him.


    "I can''t see any tears from your eyes, are you sure you''re crying?." Liu Longwei spoke to the child in a soft voice.


    As if he understood his father, the child started to cry again.


    "How can you be so heartless? You want to see tears from your son''s eyes before you believe he is crying?." Chen Lihua asked as she took the child from his arms before directing her left n.i.p.p.l.e to his small mouth.

 Chapter 475 - Liu Longwei gets a taste of Chen Lihuas b.r.e.a.s.tmilk...

    "How can you be so heartless? You want to see tears from your son''s eyes before you believe he is crying?." Chen Lihua asked as she took the child from his arms before directing her left n.i.p.p.l.e into his smallmouth.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he watched the little guy in his mother''s arms stop crying as he sucked her n.i.p.p.l.e.


    "I''m not a heartless father. I was only curious."


    "Just so you know, when babies cry, especially from newborn babies to a few months old babies, they do not shed tears." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Oh!. Watch out, your boob is pressing on his nose." Liu Longwei pointed out.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/liu-longwei-gets-a-taste-of-chen-lihua''s-b.r.e.a.s.tmilk..._52345977830440764 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the little guy as she held the area around her n.i.p.p.l.e as a support for him.


    Then, she hissed in pain with a frown on her face.


    "What''s wrong?." Liu Longwei asked as he saw on the bed with a look of worry on his face.


    "My n.i.p.p.l.es are sore and my b.o.o.b.s are heavy." Chen Lihua complained.


    "Maybe you need to offload some of the b.r.e.a.s.t milk. Should I get the doctor or a family member?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Don''t. It''s so late, they are already asleep, don''t wake them." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "But you don''t know how to make use of the b.r.e.a.s.t pump. Is it so uncomfortable?." Liu Longwei asked as a new idea began to form in his mind.


    "It''s uncomfortable, but not that I can''t manage till tomorrow. But I don''t want my child to start bottle feeding at this young age. I want him to feel close to me." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "Okay, that''s a good one. I will help you to feel better." Liu Longwei said to her as he tugged on the clothe around her chest area.


    "Longwei! What are you doing?." Chen Lihua asked in a soft voice because she didn''t want to wake the sleeping baby up.


    "Relax, I''m only trying to help you out." Liu Longwei said as he felt her right boob with her hand.


    "Longwei stop, it''s painful if you squeeze it like that. Now look, the baby food is wasting." Chen Lihua said to him with an annoyed look on her face.


    "I''m sorry, Liu Longwei apologized as he gazed at her exposed boob that was dripping with milk.


    "Get clean clothe and place them there." Chen Lihua instructed. But she didn''t know her shameless husband had another plan.


    Because the next moment, Liu Longwei put his mouth on her right n.i.p.p.l.e and sucked it.


    Chen Lihua stared at him in shock as she was speechless at his actions. She couldn''t even shout because she didn''t want to wake her sleeping baby.


    So she said through gritted teeth, "Longwei! You...you shameless man. Get your hands off my body."


    Liu Longwei paused with his actions as he raised his head to glance at her with a smile on his face.


    "The b.r.e.a.s.t milk is sweet and creamy. No wonder this little guy keeps crying for more."


    "Darling! This is baby food!." Chen Lihua reminded him through gritted teeth.


    "I know, still, can''t I have a taste of it? You just left me out after you''ve had your son. I also want to be intimate with you just like our child. I know what I''m doing might stimulate you, but I just want to feel close to you again." Liu Longwei said with a serious look on her face.


    Chen Lihua gazed at him as well. She was beyond speechless, she didn''t know the right words to reply to him with.


    She didn''t know if he was jealous of their son, or if he felt left out and wanted to be intimate with her, or maybe he just wants to help her feel comfortable after her complaints.


    Actually, it wasn''t bad for him to taste her b.r.e.a.s.tmilk since there was nothing wrong with it.


    Some partners may want to be b.r.e.a.s.tfed for certain reasons...


    (Health benefits: There are many health benefits associated with b.r.e.a.s.t milk. B.r.e.a.s.t milk is even used as a medical treatment for certain conditions. B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding could potentially boost your partner''s immune system as well as provide some nutritional value.


    Fulfilling a fantasy: Your partner may be turned on by your lactating b.r.e.a.s.ts, or they may have a s.e.x.u.a.l fantasy that involves b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding. E.r.o.t.i.c lactation and a.d.u.l.t b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding (a.d.u.l.t nursing) websites and groups exist just for this purpose. So, as long as you feel comfortable, this is a fantasy that you can safely fulfill for your partner.


    To feel more included: Now that you''re b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding, your partner may feel as though your b.r.e.a.s.ts are off-limits, or reserved for the relationship you share with your baby. By giving your partner access to your b.r.e.a.s.ts and b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding, they can feel included in the experience.


    To taste b.r.e.a.s.t milk: Some partners just want to know how b.r.e.a.s.t milk tastes. And, since b.r.e.a.s.t milk is typically creamy and sweet, they may even like the flavor).


    The last reason applies to Liu Longwei. After he found out how b.r.e.a.s.t milk actually tastes like, he became jealous of his newborn son ????????


    Some women want to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed their partners for some reasons apart from Chen Lihua who found it weird.


    Balance out uneven b.r.e.a.s.ts: If your baby has a b.r.e.a.s.t preference or one of your b.r.e.a.s.ts does not make as much milk as the other one, your partner can help to even out your b.r.e.a.s.ts by b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding on the smaller or neglected side.


    Boost b.r.e.a.s.t milk supply: The additional stimulation and removal of milk at your b.r.e.a.s.t can naturally trigger your body to make more b.r.e.a.s.t milk.


    Drain the b.r.e.a.s.t: Your partner will have a stronger suck than your baby, so they may be able to empty all the areas of your b.r.e.a.s.t. Better draining of the b.r.e.a.s.ts can help remove or prevent plugged milk ducts and n.i.p.p.l.e blebs. It could also relieve mild b.r.e.a.s.t engorgement.


    Heighten arousal: Some women are sensitive to b.r.e.a.s.t or n.i.p.p.l.e stimulation and may experience s.e.x.u.a.l feelings while b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding. B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding your partner could bring about an unexpected and enjoyable aspect of your s.e.x.u.a.l relationship.


    Increase intimacy: B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding your husband or partner may bring you closer together on an intimate level. Sharing this part of your body and your life with your husband could be a very special and satisfying experience.

 Chapter 476 - Burping

    Increase intimacy: B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding your husband or partner may bring you closer together on an intimate level. Sharing this part of your body and your life with your husband could be a very special and satisfying experience.


    Chen Lihua thought he would not put his mouth on her n.i.p.p.l.e again, but he shocked her again.


    She could only watch on as her shameless husband sucked her b.r.e.a.s.t.


    She could feel more contractions as both father and son sucked her b.o.o.b.s.


    "Darling, that''s enough, you will finish the baby''s food." Chen Lihua warned him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/burping_52359452485017630 for visiting.


    "The little guy is so small, so he shouldn''t have a big appetite at this age." Liu Longwei said in reply as he covered her b.r.e.a.s.t.


    "He is so small, but he eats several times a day." Chen Lihua reminded him.


    Liu Longwei sighed as he sat up properly. Then he licked his lips as he gazed at Chen Lihua as a smile played on his lips.


    "What a shameless man! You were dragging your son''s food with him. What made you this shameless?." Chen Lihua asked with her brows creased.


    "I have always been this shameless. But because of you and the kind of personality you had, I decided to lock away this part of me. On second thought, I decided to show my true nature. It''s actually more fun teasing you. I love your facial expressions." Liu Longwei said.


    "I can see you derive joy in pissing me off rather than teasing." Chen Lihua said as she stared into his eyes.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he said to her. "When will that little guy be full? Can you actually tell, so you don''t overfeed him?".


    "Not really. I can''t tell. And he is too little to take his mouth away when he is full. I think he is okay now." Chen Lihua said as she took her b.r.e.a.s.t from the child''s mouth and hid it inside her clothing.


    Next, she turned him.


    (Burping your baby is an important feeding step and can help her feel better).


    Why do I need to burp my baby?


    There are some important reasons to burp a baby immediately after eating.


    It''s important to burp the baby at each feeding. When the baby drinks, she can''t help but swallow a little air along with her b.r.e.a.s.t milk or formula. But having those air bubbles trapped in her tummy can make her feel uncomfortable and full before she''s really finished eating.


    That''s why burping a baby to bring up any excess air that''s acc.u.mulated is such an important part of the feeding process.


    (How to burp your baby


    A couple of tips to help you burp your baby successfully:


    Protect your clothes by always keeping a burp cloth or bib between your outfit and baby''s mouth.


    Keep a cloth, diaper, or bib handy in case the baby spits up.


    A gentle pat or rub may get the burp up for most babies, but some need a slightly firmer hand.


    Focus on the left side of the baby''s back, which is where your little one''s stomach is located.


    Fussing in the middle of feeding may be due to discomfort from swallowed air, and continued fussing causes her to swallow more air ¡ª leading to more crankiness and possibly spitting up. Instead, try burping the baby right away to see if it''s an air bubble in her tummy that''s causing her to protest).


    There are different positions to try out in other to get a baby to burp.


    On your shoulder: Hold your baby firmly against your shoulder. Support her bottom with one hand, and pat or rub her back with the other.


    Face-down on your lap: Place your baby''s tummy down across your lap (her stomach will be on one of your legs, her head on the other, turned sideways, with her head supported and slightly higher than her chest). With one hand securely holding the baby, pat or rub her back with the other.


    Sitting up: Hold your baby in a seated position on your lap, leaning slightly forward. Support baby''s head and chest with one arm while you pat or rub with the other.


    Walking: Once your baby has good head control, you can try holding her upright in front of you, facing out, while you stand and walk. Put one hand under her bottom and the other arm across her tummy to apply light pressure. The motion may help give an additional release of any trapped air bubbles.


    But Chen Lihua chose the first method. While sitting, she placed the baby on her shoulder as she rubbed his back while the other handheld him at the bottom.


    A small smile played on Liu Longwei''s lips as he watched his wife, care for their son.


    "Why are you doing that to him?." He asked curiously.


    "He needs to burp because there is a high possibility that he swallowed air when eating." Chen Lihua explained to the curious father.


    "Oh!." Liu Longwei said.


    After the baby burped, Chen Lihua smiled in satisfaction before handing the baby over to Liu Longwei so he could lay him in his cot since she couldn''t stand with the baby in her arms.


    It took some effort for Chen Lihua to help herself up after Liu Longwei took the child from her.


    Her face grimaced ???? in pain as she helped herself up from the seat to the bed.


    Since the baby''s bed had tires, Liu Longwei wheeled the cot close to the bed, before helping Chen Lihua to lie on the bed.


    "Look at the way he''s sleeping so peacefully." Chen Lihua said as she gazed at her son.


    "Who do you think he looks like?." Chen Lihua asked as she glanced at Liu Longwei.


    Without much thought, Liu Longwei replied, "There is no doubt that he looks like you."


    "If that''s what you think, then I believe you. Because right now, I can''t tell who he looks like." Chen Lihua as she laid on the bed properly.


    "Lihua?." Liu Longwei called out as he walked to the bedside before sitting on it. Then he stretched his hands towards Chen Lihua, and she moved away in fright.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly before taking her hands in his.


    "Thank you for being the mother of our son!."

    "Thank you for being the mother of our son!."


    "Thank you for being a good husband and a good jealous father." Chen Lihua said to him as she took her hands away from his hold.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly and let her be.


    "I''ll be right back." Liu Longwei said before walking out of the room.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her son with a proud smile on her face. She can never get enough of staring at her child. She was now a proud mother of a cute child.


    Chen Lihua made sure he was sleeping properly, before laying her head on the bed and shutting her eyes tiredly.


    After being on a call for over thirty minutes, Liu Longwei came back to the room. And by then, his wife and son were already fast asleep.


    He checked on his son with a smile on his face, before walking over to Chen Lihua''s side. He kissed her forehead and whispered, ''goodnight'', before walking to the couch in the room to lay his head.


    Even as he lay there, an inconcealable smile could be seen on his face. His wife has given a child, he was now a proud father.


    Liu Longwei got up and checked on his wife and child again, before dimming the lights.


    He couldn''t completely turn off the lights because of the child.


    The next morning as the rays of the sun shone in the room brightly, Chen Lihua could be seen still fast asleep.


    There were only her and the doctor in the room.


    As Chen Lihua slowly opened her eyes, she shielded her eyes with the back of her arms.


    "Good morning Mrs. Liu." The doctor greeted them with a smile on her face.


    "Good morning doctor." Chen Lihua said in a grungy tone before letting out a yawn.


    Next, she seemed to be in a trance as she glanced at her abdomen, before moving her sight to the baby''s cot. Then, she sat up in a hurry.


    "Doctor, where is my son?." Chen Lihua asked in a tense tone.


    "Relax, his father took him out." The doctor replied. "The water for your bath is ready." The doctor added.


    Chen Lihua washed up with the help of the doctor and got dressed. But she kept screaming while she was having a bath.


    The water used to massage her body, especially her stomach area, was very hot. The water was so hot that it can be used to remove the feathered of a fowl, and even scald the skin of the fowl.


    She just gave birth so her body was still hurting, then added to the fact that it was pressed with boiling water.


    But the doctor assured her that she would feel better after the bath, and that was true.


    After dressing up, Liu Longwei came back into the room.


    "Where is my child?." Chen Lihua asked when she saw he returned to the room alone.


    "Grandmother is holding him." Liu Longwei assured her.


    Hand in hand, they left the room together.


    "Our fathers have been waiting for you for a while now. But first of all, you have to eat first." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Won''t that be rude of me since they''ve been waiting for me for a long time?." Chen Lihua asked worriedly.


    "No, at all, they will understand. Eat before you go out to meet them unless you want to go hungry for two more hours plus before you have a taste of food.


    Chen Liu agreed with him and went ahead to eat first.


    She would indeed regret it if she didn''t eat before going to join in the conversation which might last for a long time.


    Chen Lihua went to have her breakfast before going to the living room to greet her father and father-in-law who came too early in the morning to congratulate her.


    Her fathers didn''t come empty-handed. They came with a lot of items to congratulate.


    Chen Lihua was shocked by the gestures.


    ''These men know how to throw money away.'' She thought.


    But wait until you get the shock of your life from your husband this evening ????


    Because the baby was there, they couldn''t pop the Champagne ????. The noise that came with popping the champagne was too loud for the baby''s tender ears.


    But Liu Longwei opened the Champagne ???? bottle without popping it to produce that noise.


    They all cheered as they clinked glasses. Chen Lihua joined them as well, but she didn''t get a taste of the wine.


    She was b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding, so she really couldn''t take that now. And besides, her child was too young. Now, she cared a lot about what enters her stomach, because she had a young one that was suckling.


    After chatting for a while, Chen Lihua took her baby and went back into the room.


    She needed to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed him, and get him to have his first bath.


    Now her baby was cleaned up, the doctor ran some tests on her and the child and announced they were in perfect health.


    Just before the doctor left with the nurses, she gave Chen Lihua advice and instructions, and guidelines to follow.


    Chen Lihua had nothing to do now, apart from eating, sleeping, looking after her baby, and having a good time of her life.


    She was quickly getting used to the fact that she was a mother now.


    Liu Longwei contacted a private dietician and a coach to help her get back to her figure after a month of confinement.


    After a month, Chen Lihua''s body would be more relaxed and the pains of childbirth, reduced or gone. So it would be the perfect time for her.


    In the evening around 5:30 PM, Liu Longwei came into the room with a smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua who was holding the child in her arms and chatting with him looked up at him with a smile on her face.


    "Why do you look so happy, did something good happen?." She asked.


    "Yes, something good happened. I have a surprise for you." Liu Longwei said as he came to stand before her.

 Chapter 478 - Worried for her baby...

    "Yes, something good happened. I have a surprise for you." Liu Longwei said as he came to stand before her.


    "A surprise for me? What could that be?." Chen Lihua asked with an amused smile?


    "You will know what it is when you see it." Liu Longwei said to her with a mysterious smile on his face.


    "Okay. I can''t wait to see the surprise you have for me." Chen Lihua replied as she handed the child over to him.


    Liu Longwei carried the child in his arms as he smiled at him.


    Then seeing Chen Lihua placing her palms on the bed as she struggled to get up, he held the baby in one arm and used the other hand to assist her.


    But Chen Lihua said to him in a slightly alarming tone.


    "Darling just hold onto the baby ???? and do not worry about me. A little effort is all I need to get up."


    Liu Longwei could tell she was scared the baby would fall from his arms. In fact, it was risky. But he had no choice.


    He couldn''t just stand there and watch his mouth struggle to get up.


    Just so her mind would be at peace, he went back to holding the baby with his two arms.


    The little child in his arms kept gazing at him as his eyeballs moved all over his face.


    At times, he would stare at his mouth as he talked, and then look into his eyes when he gazed back at him.


    "This little guy is so cute. I think he acts like you when you were a child." Liu Longwei said as he glanced at Chen Lihua.


    "How do you know how I behaved like when I was born?." Chen Lihua asked as she stood to her feet and gazed at her child.


    The little guy moved his gaze from his father to his mother. Then he went on to gaze between the two with a curious look on his face.


    "Taio, this is your father, and I am your mother." Chen Lihua introduced as she gestured.


    This time around, the little guy focused his sight on her hand in motion.


    "Oh Baby, you''re so cute." Chen Lihua said as she gushed over her cute some.


    With the child in his arms, Liu Longwei left the room with Chen Lihua.


    "Where is everybody, and why are we going outside?." Chen Lihua asked curiously, as she couldn''t see the sight of any of their family members as Liu Longwei led them outside.


    "You will see once we go outside." Liu Longwei said to her with a remarkable smile on his face.


    "Isn''t the child too young to go outside?." Chen Lihua asked, not so sure about the situation.


    "Your mind wouldn''t be at rest if I let someone watch over our son inside the house, while we are outside, so that''s the reason I''m bringing him outside with us." Liu Longwei explained.


    "That''s true. But I hope we won''t stay out long, because I''m actually worried about him. He''s too tender to be outside, he''s not even up to a day old." Chen Lihua said to him, worried.


    Liu Longwei stopped in his steps as he looked at her. "Do you want us to leave him with grandmother?."


    "Yes. If Grandma would be the one watching over him, my heart would be at ease." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei said in response. And with that, he led the way towards Old Madam Liu''s bedroom.


    "Grandma, we will be back soon." Chen Lihua said to Old Madam Liu as Liu Longwei handed the child to her.


    Old Madam Liu smiled at Chen Lihua. She could tell she was worried about her child.


    "Aija will take care of my great-grandson, so you can rest assured."


    Only then did Chen Lihua set her heart at ease.


    In that simple sentence, Old Madam Liu reminded her of how many generations she had looked after.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua still had something to say, Liu Longwei held her hand and walked towards the door.


    "Darling, can you give me a clue of what the surprise might be?." Chen Lihua inquired as she took slow steps.


    "Sorry my love, surprises are not meant to be revealed just like that, it has to be done grandly." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "If you want to surprise me, then why are you not asking me to close my eyes?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "That''s because there is no need. I want you to see the surprise as you walk towards it." Liu Longwei said to her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/worried-for-her-baby..._52390300013877704 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes and mind were filled with anticipation. She couldn''t wait to lay hold on the surprise he prepared for her.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei took slow steps as they walked outside.


    From some distance, Chen Lihua could see what looked like a car parked, and other family members surrounding it.


    "Did you buy a new car?." Chen Lihua inquired in surprise.


    "Yes, I did." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Wow! The car looks too flashy and grand." Chen Lihua exclaimed with a smile on her face.


    "Do you like it?." Liu Longwei asked as they slowly got close to the car and the rest.


    "Of course I like it. Who wouldn''t like a car like this, and I''m sure you don''t quite a  fortune to acquire it. And it even looks more expensive than the Karlman King you gave to me as a wedding gift." Chen Lihua said as she observed the car.


    "Yes, you are right. It has a price tag worth more than three times of Karlman King." Liu Longwei revealed.


    "What?! Is that expensive?." Chen Lihua exclaimed in shock.


    Liu Longwei didn''t reply to her as they slowly approached the car.


    "But why would you customize the car in white color and not your favorite black color?." Chen Lihua asked curiously, for she knew her husband''s taste when it came to cars.


    Just then, Liu Dongmei said to Chen Lihua, "Congratulations Lihua!."


    Just like that, more congratulatory messages followed.


    Chen Lihua at her two sisters-in-law and then at Liu Longwei in confusion.

 Chapter 479 - A new visitor that has come to stay

    Just like that, more congratulatory messages followed.


    Chen Lihua at her two sisters-in-law and then at Liu Longwei in confusion.


    "Lihua looks over here, the car is for you." Liu Huiling said to her.


    "No sister Ling, you must be mistaken. The car doesn''t belong to me. It''s Longwei''s." Chen Lihua said to them.


    "Mmm?." Liu Dongmei hummed as she glanced at Liu Huiling.


    "What are you saying?." Liu Dongmei said as she walked to stand in front of the car before removing the little black clothing that covered the part for the plate number.


    "Lihua looks over here, the car belongs to you." Liu Huiling said as she pointed at what was written instead of the plate number.


    "Mrs. Liu?." Chen Lihua read with wide eyes. She was shocked. Then she turned to stare at Liu Longwei.


    "What''s going on?." She asked him.


    Liu Longwei chuckled in a low voice as he took out the automatic key for the car, and placed it in hand.


    "Congratulations Mrs. Liu! You can test run the car, and check out the interior to see if it''s to your taste."


    "The car is for me?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she pointed to herself.


    "Yes, it belongs to you Sweetheart." Liu Longwei said in confirmation.


    Chen Lihua was beyond shocked. She wasn''t expecting anything from him. Now, she got one of the most expensive gifts in the world, from him.


    Seeing that Chen Lihua was too shocked to make a move, Liu Dongmei took her hand and led her closer to the car.


    "Lihua, this car belongs to you now. Brother bought it for you to show appreciation for the wonderful journey so far. Hurry and unlock the car so we can take a look at the interior."


    Chen Lihua looked back and gave Liu Longwei a glance, who nodded in return.


    Right now, Chen Lihua was already so emotional, but she was fighting back the tears that were threatening to drop from her eyes.


    She pressed a button on the key and the driver''s door opened. Then, she slowly walked towards that side and peeped inside.


    The interior was decorated with black and white color.


    The interior had soft and classy features. The thing that surprised her the most, was the baby car seat in the other seat.


    She was so surprised that she had to give that same look to Liu Longwei.


    "I learned from the doctor that some mothers get postnatal depression. So if you start to feel suffocated from staying indoors, you can go for a drive with the baby to get some fresh air." Liu Longwei explained gently.


    Buying Bugatti La Voiture Noire (the most expensive car in the world, worth $18.7 million) just for a drive with the baby when she wants to go for a drive.


    Like, who the hell does that, spending so much money just to ease her stress?


    The amazing thing about the Bugatti La Voiture Noire is that it is the only unit in the world, made by the Bugatti company.


    Only Liu Longwei can do this!


    Chen Lihua was dumbfounded. This husband of hers doesn''t seem to stop surprising her.


    Chen Lihua touched the steering and the soft leather of the driver''s seat.


    "How much did you spend?." Chen Lihua asked as she wiped the tears that came to her eyes.


    "How much I spent is not important. What is important is that my gift makes you happy?" Liu Longwei said as he smiled at her.


    Chen Lihua felt so touched that she turned and hugged him. She hugged his waist as she placed her head on his shoulder.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua whispered as she sniffed.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he hugged her waist. "Why are you crying now? You''re already a mother of a strong little boy, why are you crying like a child?."


    Chen Lihua didn''t reply to him and instead hugged him tightly.


    Liu Longwei could still feel her bump. Bit the difference now was that the baby was out.


    "Alright... Alright! Stop crying." Liu Longwei said to her.


    At last, Chen Lihua stopped crying, but she didn''t stop saying ''thank you''.


    This husband of hers keeps buying expensive gifts for her.


    Sometimes she wonders if she truly deserved him.


    A husband like Liu Longwei was rare...


    Liu Dongmei smiled as she said to Chen Lihua, "Lihua test run the car."


    Chen Lihua sat in the car and pressed the start button in the car, igniting the engine.


    No sound was heard, but the sidelights and the inner lights of the car came on.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/a-new-visitor-that-has-come-to-stay_52392243469799061 for visiting.


    "Wow!." Lily Dongmei and Liu Huiling exclaimed.


    "Lihua dear, your name illuminates a purple light." Liu Huiling announced with her gaze on the part for the plate number.


    Chen Lihua came down from the car to have a look. She smiled when she saw her name illuminate a purple light.


    She hugged Liu Longwei again, and then she stretched her neck to kiss his cheeks. "Thank you!." She whispered.


    At last, she didn''t drive the car because she was not in the condition to do so.


    Chen Lihua''s spirit was lifted as she walked back into the house.


    She was so happy that she kept talking to her baby about the gift, as she changed his diapers.


    Even a month after Chen Lihua gave birth, she still didn''t expose the news to the public.


    Now, her body was almost 100% back to her previous shape, because she didn''t want to wait till after a month before she would start working on her body.


    So a week after giving birth, she started with exercises and monitoring her diet.


    Because of her Coache''s instructions, she was very mindful of what she ate. And she continued with the hot water massage, plus other little things she had to do daily.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had a discussion and decided to get the nanny for their child, later because of Chen Lihua''s insistence.


    She still had Madam Liu and Old Madam Liu to help her look after the child. Liu Longwei also stayed and worked from home, because he couldn''t bear to not see his wife and son not close to him.


    The Chen company was busy now, so Lady Chen had to go back to the Chen Villa, as she still had to have one on one discussion with Chen K.


    This evening, she wanted to visit Chen Lihua, so she dressed up. But just as she opened the entrance door, she came face to face with a familiar face.


    The young handsome man was surprised to see her, but then he smiled and called out, "Mum..."


    Lady Chen was shocked to see him, so she stuttered "You... You.." And with that, she shut the door to his face.

 Chapter 480 - Chen Lihuas step brother

    The young man was surprised to see her, but then he smiled and called out, "Mum..."


    Lady Chen was shocked to see him, so she stuttered "You... You... Weiyuan?." And with that, she shut the door to his face.


    "Mum!." The young man called out as he banged the door. But when he didn''t receive a reply, he turned the door handle and surprisingly, the door opened, so he made his way inside with his luggage ????.


    When he walked into the living room, he didn''t see anyone there, so he made himself at home.


    A few minutes later, Lady Chen walked into the living room with Chen K by her side.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/chen-lihua''s-step-brother_52411528678275527 for visiting.


    Weiyuan saw them and smiled as he stood up to greet them. "Dad, Mum?."


    "Weiyuan is that you?." Chen K asked as he approached them.


    "It''s me Dad," Weiyuan said in confirmation.


    "After you left with that woman years ago, you decided to come back?." Chen K asked as he sat on the couch with Lady Chen, who had her eyes fixed on Weiyuan.


    "Yes, Dad. We thought we lost you, but then we saw the news last year, and that brought us hope." Weiyuan said with a smile on his face.


    Weiyuan was handsome and a bit tall. You can see the resemblance of him from Chen K.


    "Mum, how are you doing?." He asked Lady Chen.


    Lady Chen looked away as she sighed.


    "Mum, I know I offended you back then by leaving even when you begged me not to, and for that, I''m so sorry." Weiyuan pleaded.


    "I''m not your mother, you know who your mother is." Lady Chen rebuked him.


    "You''re still my mother even though you didn''t birth me. I have always taken you as my mother, and acknowledged you as one since I was little." Weiyuan said to her.


    "Did you come back with that woman?." Lady Chen inquired.


    Weiyuan didn''t expect to be asked this question so soon, so he took a little time before he replied.


    "Yes, Mum." He replied humbly because he knew his answer would provoke Lady Chen.


    And just like he thought, Lady Chen did get angry.


    "Tsk...tsk. Chen K, I''m going to see my daughter. You can stay and entertain him for as long as he wants to stay." Lady Chen said as she glanced at the luggage beside him.


    Then she stood up and walked out, ignoring Weiyuan''s call.


    "That''s alright! You know she wouldn''t want to listen to anything you have to say at this point because she is angry." Chen K said to Weiyuan.


    Weiyuan sighed before looking back at his father.


    "Dad, what do I do to make mum happy?." Weiyuan asked in concern.


    "You know the answer, I don''t need to spell it out to you. You know she loves you so much, and she was quite disappointed and heartbroken when you decided to leave with your birth mother. After pouring her love on you, you only left her with disappointment.  And you are also aware that she hates to hear anything about your birth mother, so don''t mention anything about her." Chen K advised.


    "But dad is it not possible for these two women to coexist in peace?." Weiyuan asked.


    Chen K glared at him. "You know that''s impossible. Your mother is my ex, and Ju Ju is my wife. Can you see the reason they would never want to hear about each other?."


    "But mum accepted me back then and welcomed me into this house when she learned about me. Now, why can''t she accept my birth mother?." Weiyuan inquired.


    "You know the answer to that question. Your mother goes about looking for trouble. I don''t have time to talk about her." Chen K said in an annoyed tone.


    Weiyuan heaven a sigh as he relaxed on the couch.


    "How long do you plan to stay in the country, and do you already have a place to stay?." Chen K asked in concern.


    After all, this was his son, even though he didn''t have him with his wife, so it was natural for him to be concerned about him.


    "I plan to stay here, as long mum doesn''t chase me away. And, I''m back finally." Weiyuan revealed.


    "That''s good.  What are your plans for the future?." Chen K inquired.


    "Dad, we will talk about that later. I heard mum say she was going to see Lihua, how is she? I saw from the news that she is married to Liu Longwei."


    This question caused a proud smile to appear on Chen K''s face as he disclosed, "Your sister already gave birth over a month ago."


    "What?! How come I didn''t know about it?." Weiyuan asked.


    "How can you know about it when this spectacular news was purposely hidden?." Chen K asked.


    "Wow! That''s great news. I would love to meet her and congratulate her. We haven''t seen, for now, I wonder if she can still recognize me." Weiyuan said as a playful smile appeared on his face.


    "Don''t even think about it! Lihua still doesn''t know you are her stepbrother." Chen K stated.


    "What?! Even after so many years, you still kept this news from her?." Weiyuan asked in surprise.


    So many things happened that we didn''t find the time and the right opportunity to tell her about the real relationship between you two. But don''t worry, we will have to tell her soon before she finds out on her own. When your mother (Lady Chen) comes back, we will talk about it.


    "Okay, Dad. Which room do I stay in now?."


    "Your mother always has the servants clean you and Lihua''s every two weeks, so you can go back to your bedroom. Wash up and come down to eat. The servant can tidy your thing up as you eat."


    Weiyuan went to check out his room as a servant followed behind him with his luggage. He checked out his room and found out that his things were still in place, just like the same way he left them.


    He smiled to himself as he touched a few things, ad his mind traveled down memory lane.


    He could tell how much Lady Chen loved him and placed him in her heart.


    She still kept his things even though he left years ago.

 Chapter 481 - FLASHBACK: First Meeting with Weiyuan

    "What?! Brother Weiyuan is my half-brother?." Chen Lihua asked with a shocked facial expression.


    "Don''t shout, you will wake the baby." Lady Chen said to her in a soft tone as she gave a glance at the baby that sleeping in his Mastela 3 in 1 Deluxe Multi-Functional Bassinet/Swing and Napper swing.


    (You can get a glimpse of the above baby''s Multi-Functional bed/swing on my Instagram page @authorpaschalinelily).


    The 3-in-1 Functions: It functions as rocker, sleeper, and bassinet.


    This item has a mosquito net to prevent mosquitoes from coming close to the baby, a Cushion, Music to entertain and rock the baby to sleep, Toy bar, and a reclining position for play, feed, and nap.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her good-looking little son who was sleeping peacefully, before looking back at her mother.


    "Weiyuan is my half-brother? Is he your son? Did you have him with another man, or is he father''s Son?." Chen Lihua said, asking a series of questions at the same time.


    "Hold on, I will explain everything to you, you just need to calm down." Lady Chen said to her.


    Chen Lihua was so eager to know the true relationship between her and Weiyuan, but she had to be a little patient to get the full list.


    Lady Chen went on to tell her the real story from the beginning, about her father''s ex, and how they broke up without knowing she was pregnant.


    When Chen K''s ex found out she was pregnant after the breakup, she hid the pregnancy from him. Then after three years, she brought little Weiyuan over to him to look after.


    Chen K got the shock of his life that day. He was in his house when she visited him.


    "It''s not bad if you don''t trust me. But you can still run a DNA test to confirm what I''m saying. Well, I didn''t come back to waste my time or please with you to marry me because of the child we had together, I only came here to leave your son with you. I have a job that doesn''t allow me to be in a relationship and scandals like this. So I will leave him in your care." His ex said as she stood to her feet to leave.


    "Why didn''t you inform me you were pregnant when you found out?." Chen K asked with bloodshot eyes.


    "It wasn''t important back then!."


    "It wasn''t important? You were carrying my child, and you didn''t care to let me know? You think you can get a child out of nowhere and send him to me just like that?!."


    His ex chuckled softly before replying without care. "We broke up, so can you see that you weren''t important to me anymore? I didn''t need to inform you of my every move or answer to you. I have a flight to catch in the next two hours, so take care of him."


    "Three years ago, you were the one that asked for a breakup. Now three years later, you return with a child, and you want to leave him for me?." Chen K asked in an angry tone, as Little Weiyuan watch them argue.


    "Enough! Can''t you see the little child is scared, but it''s obvious you two do not care about his presence!." Lady Chen said as she walked in.


    "Ju Ju? How long have you been standing there?." Chen K asked with fear written on his face.


    "Since she walked in here." Lady Chen replied as glanced at the other lady before walking to the child to take his hands.


    Little Weiyuan gazed at the young Lady Chen back then before reaching out with his hand.


    "I can see that you like him already, and he trusts you, so why don''t you take care of him?." The ex suggested.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/flashback-first-meeting-with-weiyuan_52428414610629174 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua looked up at her with a frown on her face as she asked, "If I take care of him from now onwards, I hope you won''t come back for him again?."


    The young woman chuckled loudly as she said, "You are so funny! How do you think I will want to ever give my child away to another woman, and that too, to my ex''s current girlfriend?."


    "With you, anything is possible. Right now, you are dumping your child because of your selfish interest!." Lady Chen retorted.


    "Whichever way you out it, I will accept it. I am his mother, so I have every right to come back for him. You said I''m selfish, but what about when I had to suffer for three good years to give birth to him and take care of him to the detriment of my career? Haven''t I sacrificed enough?!."


    "You are a big joke! Did your child create himself? You and Chen K are responsible for that, so you two should not about your responsibilities!." Lady Chen said to her.


    "Ju Ju?!." Chen K called out worriedly after he heard her mention his name as she rolled her eyes at him.


    "Fine! K and I are responsible. But help this irresponsible mother do her part. If I stay here to argue with you, I will miss my flight, and I bet you two won''t take responsibility for it." The ex said with a smirk on her lips as she put her sunshades back on her eyes.


    "You are so shameless! You just like to transfer your responsibilities to others, and then put blame on them because of your selfishness." Lady Chen said to her.


    The young woman ignored her and instead glanced at little Weiyuan. "Baby, the mother will miss you. Take care of yourself alright? See you in the next two years!."


    With that, she gave him a little hug before walking away.


    "Did she just ask a three-year-old toddler to take care of himself?!." Lady Chen asked in shock.


    "What kind of woman is she?!."


    "Ju Ju?." Chen K called out in worry.


    Lady Chen glanced at him as she said, "We will talk about this later. First of all, I have to take care of him and get to know him better. Only then can he trust me more."


    After saying her piece, she took the child and was on her way out.


    "Where are you taking him to? I haven''t done a DNA test to confirm if he is my son. And the reporters might get a picture of the two of you, that won''t be good to make a scandal after your agency has announced your next film." Chen K reminded her.


    "It doesn''t matter." Lady Chen said as she walked out of the house with Little Weiyuan.

 Chapter 482 - Half-Brother, Half-Sister

    (Dear fans, if you are not following me on Instagram, please do. I need my fans to follow me, that would at least help me to always remember that this work, ''unpredictable Marriage'' gave me "you". Please, follow me @authorpaschalinelily)


    Chen K just watched as Lady Chen walked away with Little Weiyuan.


    A few days later, he did a DNA test, and that confirmed the relationship status between him and Weiyuan. And since then, Lady Chen has been looking after Weiyuan.


    Just when Weiyuan turned to be a teenager, his mother who abandoned her because of fame and career, came back for him.


    When he was younger, she said she would visit him in two years, but she never came.


    She only came back when she conquered her quest for fame.


    Weiyuan''s birth mother was a celebrity model who turned into a fashion designer.


    So when Weiyuan chose to go with her instead of staying back after Lady Chen pleaded, it broke her heart.


    This was the son she raised and poured out her love on. She took care of him like her own biological child, but he chose to leave with the woman that abandoned him for fame.


    Weiyuan has always known his true identity, so when Chen Lihua was born, he took her as his sister even though he knew they were not related by full blood.


    So it was only Chen Lihua who didn''t know he was her half-brother, mainly because a year after she was born, Weiyuan chose to go to a boarding school (live in school) for three years, before Lady Chen went to personally withdraw him.


    When Weiyuan came back to live in the house permanently, Chen Lihua addressed him as, brother because Lady Chen taught her so.


    Another reason is that Chen Lihua witnessed Weiyuan''s mother come to pick him up, and she heard him address her as, ''mother''.


    And when she asked Lady Chen why Weiyuan was leaving with ''that woman'', Lady Chen replied, "That woman is his mother, so he has to go with her."


    Back to present......


    "Mum, honestly, I don''t know what to say or feel. I''m quite surprised that something as important as this wasn''t known to me." Chen Lihua said without a smile on her face.


    "I know, your dad and I are very sorry about it. We thought you wouldn''t take the news lightly since you were quite jealous back then, even when you were not aware he was your brother."


    Chen Lihua was was silent for a while before speaking up, "It''s alright, it''s just that it will take some time for me to digest this information and accept this new relationship status."


    "I''m surprised you didn''t flare up." Lady Chen said in surprise.


    "What! You were expecting me to be angry and start screaming? Well, I''ve grown past that. I''ve moved to another level in life. I have a child now, so I need to worry about him instead of unnecessary matters and realities that won''t change." Chen Lihua said, surprising her mother.


    It wasn''t wrong for Lady Chen to expect the unexplainable from Chen Lihua, because she knew the kind of daughter she raised, she knew her personality in and out.


    The normal or Old Chen Lihua would have flared up and gotten angry, and also showed her immature side. But it seems she has grown up now.


    Becoming a mother was changing her, and that was a good thing.


    "Seriously, I was expecting you to do that, so I came prepared to swallow all of your actions since I was at fault. But you proved me wrong. Becoming a mother has really changed your temperament." Lady Chen said in satisfaction.


    "Listening to you say all these, I can imagine how immature I was back then. Well, I''ve grown up now, and things have changed." Chen Lihua said.


    Having a child changed Chen Lihua''s temperament. She doesn''t see any other thing important apart from her two months old son. Every other thing was secondary and should come after him.


    "It''s great your temperament has changed, it''s for the best. Weiyuan will like to meet with you. He has been disturbing me about it since he came back." Lady Chen informed her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/half-brother-half-sister_52429474142155412 for visiting.


    "I can''t see him now, but he can phone me." Chen Lihua said in reply.


    "That''s fine, I will tell him to call you. Look, the child is awake." Lady Chen said as she gazed at the little bun with a happy smile on her face.


    Chen Lihua looked over and so her baby awake, with his eyes shining as he moved his little fist about. Naturally, a smile appeared on her face.


    "Liu Wei is so quiet. He doesn''t even seek a notice when he wakes up." Lady Chen said.


    "Mum who told you that? He does seek notice, a lot. Indeed, he is always calm when he wakes up from sleep. But after watching me for some minutes and discover that I have no plans on lifting him, he would start to cry." Chen Lihua revealed with a motherly love in her eyes.


    "I want to hold my grandson for a little while." Lady Chen said as she walked to his side. Chen Lihua lifted the mosquito net, and Lady Chen lifted the child.


    "He has gained more weight, and he is very healthy." Lady Chen said as she sat back on the sofa with her grandson in her arms.


    The little guy gave her a curious look before smiling, thereby sampling his gums.


    "Oh my! He smiled. That means he recognized me after not seeing me for three days." Lady Chen said as she smiled in surprise.


    "Of course. I''m surprised he remembers faces as young as he is. Maybe he recognized your scent, or maybe three days is not that long for him to forget someone that has been taking care of him since he was born.


    (For some of my readers that will like to argue with me at the end of this chapter, don''t try it, because you will be ignored. Because if I go into details, I will receive a complaint that I explain too much).

    "Of course. I''m surprised he remembers faces as young as he is. Maybe he recognized your scent, or maybe three days is not that long for him to forget someone that has been taking care of him since he was born."


    "My grandson is already so smart as young as is." Lady Chen said with a proud smile on her face.


    Just then, a servant walked in. When she saw the child, she hid her smile and relayed her message, "Ma''am, the food is served."


    "Alright, you can go." Chen Lihua said to her before turning to Lady Chen to say, "Mum, let''s go and eat something."


    "Change his diaper first." Lady Chen said to her.


    Chen Lihua carried her baby to his cot that was placed nearby to change his diapers. And the young one was very active because he kept swinging his arms and kicking his legs. At times, he would put his little fist in his mouth.


    "Mum, do you think he will be mischievous when he grows up?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I think he will be smart, very smart." Lady Chen said as she looked over in smiles.


    "I hope he won''t give me a hard time." Chen Lihua muttered under her breathe.


    "I think he wants you to play with him." Lady Chen said as she came over to watch the little bun of happiness kicking his legs about.


    "Yes, but I have to eat first." Chen Lihua said.


    "Bad mum!." Lady Chen teased.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei chuckled softly. The baby glanced between them and then started to smile.


    "Oh! Look at my cute little boy!." Chen Lihua said as she lowered her forehead to touch his, but he ended up gripping her hair.


    "Ouch! Mum, please take his hands off!." Chen Lihua cried out.


    Lady Chen chuckled as she gently took the baby''s hands off her hair.


    "Liu Wei, you can''t grip your mum''s hair okay?." Lady Chen said to the baby.


    The baby on the other hand was still smiling as he clapped his hands together. That''s to tell you he didn''t understand what he just did, not his grandmother''s words.


    "Taio, are seriously smiling?." Chen Lihua asked as she touched his cheek with a finger.


    The baby immediately grabbed her finger as he moved it up and down.


    Watching his tiny fist circle her finger, Chen Lihua smiled more brightly. "Since you started grasping things, you haven''t ignored my fingers."


    The baby made some sounds as if, trying to say something.


    "Cute little boy." Lady Chen said as she lifted him in her arms.


    "Mum, be careful of your ears because he has his eyes on your earings." Chen Lihua notified.


    What she actually means is that Liu Wei would drag her earings since it has caught his attention, and that would hurt her ears.


    "My grandson has grown so much that everything catches his fancy." Lady Chen said.


    Just like she said, the baby had his eyes on the earrings. Then as if being controlled by a remote, he stretched his fingers towards Lady Chen''s ear to grab it, but Lady Chen changed his position in her arms, and then his eyes moved to stare at her eyes.


    "Why? You don''t like that I moved you?." Lady Chen asked with a smile on her face.


    The baby saw her smiling face and as well as he kicked his legs and arms.


    "This little guy is so cute. Lihua, what are your plans for your wedding anniversary tomorrow?." Lady Chen asked.


    "Nothing much. Longwei and I don''t plan to make anything big. Spending some time together with the child is enough. I don''t want to go anywhere." Chen Lihua said.


    "That''s good!. Alright, let''s move to the dining area." Lady Chen said as she walked away with the child in her arms.


    Chen Lihua picked up the waste and handed it to a maid to dispose of it, before going to the washroom to wash her hands.


    Joining her mother at the table, she could see her son giving curious glances at the food on the table.


    "Inhaling the aroma and seeing all these colorful food arranged on the table, will make him hungry. Do you think he''s too young for the HCL in his stomach to begin secretion?." Lady Chen asked.


    "Mum, I have no idea about that." Chen Lihua said as she began eating.


    "Carry your child and feed him. He hasn''t eaten anything since he woke up, and he used energy to make those powerful movements earlier." Lady Chen said to her.


    "But he is not crying, how do you know he''s hungry?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Are you joking with me or what? So you have been starving my grandchild by not giving him food on time. Who told you you have to wait till he starts crying before you feed him." Lady Chen said with a serious facial expression.


    Chen Lihua gazed at her for a while before laughing out loud. "I was pulling your legs. You need to have seen that look on your face."


    "Better for you." Lady Chen said as she carried the child to her, before carefully placing him in her arms.


    Immediately Chen Lihua directed her n.i.p.p.l.e to his mouth, he started sucking it.


    "Oh! You''re truly hungry. Next time you''re hungry, say ''Mama, I''m hungry." Chen Lihua said to him.


    The child had his eyes closed as he sucked, so he wasn''t even paying attention to whatever she said, because his food was delicious and nutritious.


    Lady Chen rolled her eyes at Chen Lihua as she continued to eat.


    Chen Lihua ordered pasta and sauce, so eating while b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding the baby wasn''t difficult for her, she was a pro now.


    "Won''t you call your husband to come and join you?" Lady Chen asked.


    "I will do that myself, but when I''m done. He usually doesn''t listen to the servant unless I go there myself. Once he starts working, he forgets me and the baby, right Taio?."


    But she received no reply from her hungry son.


    "Do you expect him to abandon the work that he has piled up to come and play with you and the child every time? He has work to do. Moving his work to the house, it''s already a good option." Lady Chen said to her.


    "I know mum, I''m not complaining, I was just saying. Besides, he''s doing a great job." Chen Lihua said as a smile turned up on her lips.


    "I''m doing a great job?." A low and deep male voice asked as the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/jovial-little-taio_52436775569778051 for visiting.

 Chapter 484 - He missed being inside her...

    "I''m doing a great job?." A low and deep male voice asked as the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard.


    Chen Lihua and Lady Chen looked up when they heard his voice.


    "Of course you are..." Lady Chen replied with a smile. She was very proud of having a son-in-law like Liu Longwei.


    "Thank you, Mum." Liu Longwei said before sitting beside Chen Lihua.


    Hearing the sound of the chair being pulled, the baby in Chen Lihua''s arms opened his eyes, and it coincidentally met his father''s.


    "Liu Wei, I thought you were sleeping?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    The next moment, his son smiled at him and continued sucking.


    "This little guy knows his name already. He''s growing up quickly." Liu Longwei commented as a smile rested on their faces.


    "Let me hold him so you can eat well." Liu Longwei suggested.


    "But he''s still eating." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at him before looking at her mother, who gave her a sign to give the baby to him, and then she did so.


    Liu Longwei placed the baby on his shoulder and rubbed his back gently. It didn''t take up to two minutes before the baby belched.


    "Good boy!." Liu Longwei said as she lifted the baby.


    "Darling don''t lift him, he just finished eating." Chen Lihua reminded. And with that, Liu Longwei laid the child on his lap.


    "Lihua, Longwei, I have to leave now. Your father has been disturbing my peace with calls, I  guess he misses my company." Lady Chen said as she stood to her feet.


    "I thought Weiyuan is at home?." Chen Lihua asked with furrowed brows.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/he-missed-being-inside-her..._52455080720387559 for visiting.


    "I have no idea about that. He just returned to the country, even if it''s a few weeks ago, you can''t expect him to stay cupped up at home. I have to leave now." Lady Chen said as she came close to Liu Longwei to wave goodbye at her grandson.


    "Goodbye, mum!." Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei said at the same time as they watched Lady Chen leave.


    "You look sad, you didn''t want your mother to go back to her husband?." Liu Longwei asked with hidden meaning in his words.


    "Why do you have to put the question like that? I only wanted to enjoy her company some more." Chen Lihua said to him with a funny look on her face.


    "Do you enjoy my company at all, or am I boring?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "I enjoy your company a lot. The only time I don''t enjoy it is when you are not with us." Chen Lihua replied to him with a smile on her face, as she continued to eat as quickly as possible since Liu Longwei still has to eat.


    "Mmmm. I love that response." Liu Longwei said happily as he leaned in to kiss her puffed-up cheek that swelled due to the food in her mouth.


    Chen Lihua blushed as she looked away from him.


    "Now that your one-month confinement period is long past, don''t you think we should get back to the main business, cause I missed being inside you." Liu Longwei confessed shamelessly.


    Chen Lihua choked on her food and had to drink water as Liu Longwei rubbed her back.


    "How can you choke like a child while eating, are you Taio?." Liu Longwei teased.


    The child in his embrace giggles to himself as continued licking his fist ????.


    "Look, even your son is laughing at you." Liu Longwei added.


    After getting herself, Chen Lihua glared at him as she complained. "You did that on purpose, right? I''ve given you a son, now you want to get rid of me."


    "Oh no! Sweetheart, please don''t talk like that. Our son can never take your place in my heart, I''m so sorry, I love you so much!." Liu Longwei said in apology.


    "That''s good because my son is the top-ranked in my heart." Chen Lihua said without glancing at him as she continued to eat.


    "That''s what you say, but I know what''s written in your heart." Liu Longwei said as he gazed at her.


    Chen Lihua finished her food before taking the child from him, so he could eat as well.


    Once in his mother''s arms, and because of the position Chen Lihua placed him in her arms, he immediately put his mouth on her b.r.e.a.s.t.


    "Heh! Taio holds on!." Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly.


    She took out one of her b.o.o.b.s, and the little guy immediately wrapped his lips around her exposed n.i.p.p.l.e.


    "How hungry is he?." Liu Longwei asked with a soft smile as he watched the mother and son.


    "I think ''very'' will be suitable to describe how hungry he is." Chen Lihua said in reply as she smiled and watched her little one place his two palms on her boob.


    "He''s very hungry." Liu Longwei commented as he continued to eat his food.


    When the child had eaten to his fill, he took his mouth off her n.i.p.p.l.e.


    Chen Lihua rocked him till he belched before sighing in relief.


    "Give him to me!." Liu Longwei requested as he took the child from her.


    "He''s beginning to feel sleepy." Chen Lihua said in a low tone.


    "Yeah, and he looks so cute." Liu Longwei replied in a low tone as well.


    Liu Longwei held his son in his arms while sitting, and the little one obediently went to sleep without making a fuss.


    "I think he ate too much." Chen Lihua whispered as she watched the little guy doze off.


    "Yeah, he did." Liu Longwei replied as he stood up and gently placed the little guy on his shoulder as he and Chen Lihua took the elevator to the top floor.


    Inside Chen Lihua''s bedroom, there was a little cot lying beside her bed, so Liu Longwei placed the child gently in his cot before covering his tiny body with a blanket.


    "I would have loved for him to suck a little more, my b.o.o.b.s are heavy." Chen Lihua said as she sighed regrettably.


    "What am I here for?." Liu Longwei asked as he gave her a teasing smile.


    "Do you have the audio baby monitor with you?." He asked.

 Chapter 485 - First S*x after childbirth

    "What am I here for?." Liu Longwei asked as he gave her a teasing smile.


    "Do you have the audio baby monitor with you?." He asked.


    An audio baby monitor is a sound indicator with digitized transmission used to hear/listen to your child''s voice even when you are in another room.


    (You can check my Instagram page @authorpaschalinelily to see what an audio baby monitor looks like).


    "Yes, why?." Chen Lihua asked as she showed the audio baby monitor to him.


    "Let''s do something before the wakes." Liu Longwei said as he dragged her towards the door.


    "But I''m worried about leaving the baby alone." Chen Lihua said worriedly as she glanced back at her child.


    "Don''t worry, he will be fine. We just have to be quick." Liu Longwei said as he took her out of the room and shut the door gently, before dragging her into his bedroom.


    "What work do we have to do?." Chen Lihua asked in confusion.


    "You don''t know what we came in here to do, and you followed me?." Liu Longwei asked as he let out a low chuckle.


    "You dragged me out in a hurry, which time would I have asked that question?." Chen Lihua said with furrowed brows.


    "Don''t worry, you will see." Liu Longwei said as he pushed her gently on the bed as he began to unbutton his shirt.


    Chen Lihua didn''t need a soothsayer to tell her his next action. So she stared at him wide-eyed as she moved up the bed.


    "Darling we can''t do this now, I''m... I''m not yet ready." Chen Lihua said in a won''t tone.


    Liu Longwei threw his shirt, and it landed on a corner in the room. Next, he climbed the bed and caged Chen Lihua in-between his hands as he sniffed her neck area.


    "You smell like our son." He muttered in a low tone.


    Chen Lihua felt ticklish, so she moved her neck away as she replied, "You smell like our son too."


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything in response, instead, he kissed her neck and sucked on it, and that action of his caused a low m.o.a.n to escape from Chen Lihua''s mouth.


    That response from her fueled Liu Longwei''s passion. From her neck, he moved to her cheeks and then her lips.


    He gave her a soft kiss before proceeding to deepen it. Next, his hand reached out to one of her b.o.o.b.s as he squeezed it gently.


    "Ah!." Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned.


    "Darling, it hurts." Chen Lihua said as she held unto his hand.


    "I''m sorry, I''ll be more gentle." Liu Longwei whispered in her ear as he slowly caressed her b.o.o.b.s from her clothing.


    He knelt in between her legs ???? as he began to take down the singlet she wore. Chen Lihua looked nervous as he slowly moved the hand of her dress down from her shoulders.


    "Why are you still so shy even when you''re a mother already?." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears.


    Chen Lihua shuddered before replying in a low tone, "Nothing..."


    A smile played on Liu Longwei''s lips as he gently pushed her to lie on the bed.


    With her back against the pillows, Chen Lihua found a comfortable position to rest her back.


    "I like the fact that you''re putting on a skirt. That would help my ministry a lot." Liu Longwei said as he moved his fingers slowly against her laps.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/first-s*x-after-childbirth_52461204538452938 for visiting.


    Chen Lihua shut her eyes because of the pleasure she was feeling. But she refused to m.o.a.n.


    Seeing how stubborn she was, Liu Longwei smiled to himself as he lowered his body before her, and slowly licked her inner thighs with his tongue.


    Chen Lihua shuddered as she was forced to m.o.a.n. Liu Longwei held her legs in place as he continued licking her thighs.


    "Longweiiii" Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned.


    "Ssshhh!." Liu Longwei shushed her as he raised her legs and held them with his hands from under her laps.


    Next, he buried his head in-between her legs.


    Chen Lihua let out an uncontrollable man as she moved her body on the bed. She placed her hand on Liu Longwei''s hair and started to rub it.


    She called his name as she m.o.a.ned.


    Liu Longwei teased her secret chamber with his tongues even though she still had her pants on.


    When he was done teasing her, he raised his head and kissed her lips strongly, as his hands slowly took off her panties.


    At this moment, Chen Lihua was already pulling him closer to her body. It was as if she couldn''t wait for their bodies to merge as one.


    After taking off her panties, Liu Longwei proceeded to take off her singlet entirely, thereby revealing her b.o.o.b.s that were covered in her comfortable and s.e.xy nursing bra.


    Liu Longwei easily released her b.o.o.b.s from the bra, as he began sucking one while gently fondling the other.


    As he sucked on her b.o.o.b.s, her b.r.e.a.s.t milk flowed into his mouth, and that made him suck it harder.


    Chen Lihua could feel a tingling sensation between her legs, as she couldn''t hold it in anymore.


    She scratched Liu Longwei''s back as she m.o.a.ned uncontrollably but surprisingly didn''t leave any mark on him.


    Liu Longwei moved on to suck the other n.i.p.p.l.e as his finger moved on slowly and rested in-between Chen Lihua''s inner thighs.


    His finger slowly circled her clit as she m.o.a.ned loudly and moved her body to meet his.


    From her b.r.e.a.s.t, he moved on to shut her up by kissing her forcefully. And because of his actions, Chen Lihua got to get a taste of her b.r.e.a.s.t milk.


    Even though he shut her up by kissing her, Chen Lihua still went on to m.o.a.n in between the kisses.


    After teasing her clits for a while now, Liu Longwei slowly pushed his finger inside her as they both made pleasurable noise.


    "You''re already so wet." Liu Longwei muttered in a low husky voice as he began to slowly move his finger in and out of her.


    "Lon... Longwei plea... Please." Chen Lihua pleaded in a pleasurable tone.

 Chapter 486 - First attempt at changing his sons diaper

    "You''re already so wet." Liu Longwei muttered in a low husky voice as he began to slowly move his finger in and out of her.


    "Lon... Longwei plea... Please." Chen Lihua pleaded in a pleasurable tone.


    "Do you want it?." Liu Longwei asked in a low husky voice as he inserted one more finger inside her and increased his pace.


    Chen Lihua continued to m.o.a.n loudly as she craved to for him to feel her up. Because she felt uncomfortable with her loud m.o.a.ns, she covered her mouth with her palms to reduce the intensity of her screams.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/first-attempt-at-changing-his-son''s-diaper_52466698355268869 for visiting.


    "Take your hand away, I want to hear you m.o.a.n my name." Liu Longwei commanded her in a husky voice as he continued to thrust his two fingers in and out of her in lightning speed.


    Chen Lihua obeyed him as she took her hand away and m.o.a.ned his name. But because the pleasure was so much, she tried closing her legs but failed because Liu Longwei was still kneeling in-between her legs.


    So now, she had no choice but to beg him again.


    "Darling plea...please." She pleaded in a shaky tone.


    "Alright, I will give it to you." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her lips and before rising slowly, with his two fingers rubbing her clit as he undid his belt with one hand.


    Because Chen Lihua wanted him inside of her quickly, she assisted him to take off his belt and pull down his trousers.


    At last, Liu Longwei took off his briefs and set his hungry little brother free for hunting food.


    Liu Longwei lowered his head to lick her clit with his tongue before pushing his little brother inside her and began moving slowly.


    So from m.o.a.ning when Liu Longwei licked her, she immediately gasped when he entered her.


    She clutched his back as she closed her eyes and m.o.a.ned in pleasure.


    Liu Longwei m.o.a.ned as well when he finally got a taste of her. It''s been a while!


    He took her slowly, and then faster. In the middle of the intense pleasure, he took out his little brother and rubbed it on her clit, before sliding back inside her.


    Chen Lihua m.o.a.ned pleasurably as she moved her h.i.p.s in sync with his.


    After what seemed like forever, they both reached their climax at the same time, and Liu Longwei c.u.mmed inside her.


    They breathed heavily after their tongues entangled once again.


    Liu Longwei slowly slid out of her and lay behind her as he hugged her waist and as their bodies entangled together.


    He brushed her hair behind her ear before leaving a kiss there.


    "I love you." He whispered in a seductive voice as his hands went to her b.o.o.b.s to gently squeeze them.


    "I love you..." Chen Lihua replied while panting slowly, as she allowed him to touch her.


    "Get some rest." Liu Longwei replied in a soft tone as he hugged her.


    Chen Lihua could feel something sticky in between her legs, but right now, she was not in the mood to care about that. She wanted to get some rest.


    As the couple slept in each other''s embrace, their son slept alone in another bedroom.


    In what seemed like an hour later, the audio baby monitor set off an alarm, and Liu Longwei''s eyes immediately shot open.


    Liu Longwei came down from the bed in a pair of trousers and a black polo and picked up the audio baby monitor.


    It was at this time that Chen Lihua struggled to open her eyes.


    Liu Longwei glanced her way as he said to her, "Sleep some more,  I will get him."


    With that assurance, Chen Lihua closed her eyes back and went back to sleep.


    Liu Longwei hurried out of the bedroom and into Chen Lihua''s bedroom to see their lonely son crying in his cot.


    The baby''s cries reduced when he saw his father, and then he finally stopped crying when he was lifted in his father''s strong arms.


    "Wei, Daddy, and Mummy are sorry for neglecting you, okay?." Liu Longwei said to his son with a smile on his face as he consoled him.


    He rocked his little one in his embrace to soothe him. And truly, the little guy forgot to cry as he stared blankly at his father''s face.


    A few minutes later, the little guy started to cry again.


    "Oh no! Do you want your mother?." Liu Longwei asked as he walked around the room with the child in his arms.


    The Little guy moved his small fists about as he cried in his father''s arms.


    Maybe, he truly wanted his mother!


    His wife was still sleeping, so Liu Longwei didn''t want to disturb her. But he was surprised to see the child still crying even though he was carrying in his arms and walking around the room.


    Being bothered, he decided to check what was wrong. He turned on soft baby music from the fancy baby blue Bluetooth speakers in the room,  before laying the child in his cot.


    By this time, the little boy had stopped crying as he listened to the song being played, but he still had that look that says he would cry soon on his face.


    Liu Longwei brought a new diaper and a pack of baby wipes to his cot as he gently undressed him. His movements were stiff, but there was still progress.


    He took off his trousers and slowly but steadily removed his diaper.


    Lo and behold, he discovered what was keeping his son in discomfort.


    "You pooed?." He asked as he wiped his bottom with the baby wipes and began changing him into the new diaper.


    Liu Longwei wasn''t sure how to place the diaper on him, but he did it to the best of his understanding.


    Glancing at his not-so-perfect work which was unlike him, Liu Longwei said to the little guy that was kicking his short arms and legs about as he played by himself.


    "Seems like I have to take a day off and carefully watch your mother take care of you." Liu Longwei said this as he clothed him.

 Chapter 487 - First Wedding Anniversary

    Glancing at his not-so-perfect work which was unlike him, Liu Longwei said to the little guy that was kicking his short arms and legs about as he played by himself.


    "Seems like I have to take a day off and carefully watch your mother take care of you." Liu Longwei said this as he clothed him.


    The little guy giggled to himself and he kicked his arms and feet about.


    Now fully clothed, Liu Longwei lifted him in his arms and smiled at him.


    "I love you!." He said to him, but the little guy just stared at him in confusion.


    "I get it, you don''t understand, but soon you will. Let''s go and see mummy, but promise not to disturb her okay?." Liu Longwei added as he picked up the baby''s blanket from his cot before walking out of the room and back to his bedroom.


    When he walked in with the child, Chen Lihua was awake and trying to sit up.


    "See momma." Liu Longwei said to the child as he pointed at Chen Lihua with a soft smile played on his lips.


    Unfortunately, the child couldn''t follow his hand gesture, so he put the blanket on the bed before changing his position so he could see his mother.


    And immediately, the little guy gave a cute smile as he cued in his baby''s voice.


    Chen Lihua smiled back at him as she placed his blanket in the middle of the big bed, and Liu Longwei lay him on the blanket.


    The little guy immediately put his fingers in his mouth and started sucking them.


    "No, don''t do that." Chen Lihua said to him as she gently took his fingers out of his mouth. The little guy just stared at her in confusion, and only went back to smiling when she kissed his forehead.


    "He came from you..." Liu Longwei commented as he joined them on the bed.


    "How?." Chen Lihua asked as she fiddled with her son''s tiny fingers.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/first-wedding-anniversary_52467855312085890 for visiting.


    "The both of you are so cute." Liu Longwei said as he stretched his hand to caress her cheeks as their son watched on.


    "I''m hungry. Darling, please get me a diaper and his wipes, I need to change him." Chen Lihua requested while playing with the little guy.


    "I''ve changed his diapers already, so you don''t have to worry about that." Liu Longwei assured her.


    Chen Lihua scoffed with an unbelievable expression written on her face. "You?."


    "Yes, me. But it''s just that I didn''t do perfect work." Liu Longwei replied with a guilty look on his face.


    "I don''t trust you and your work. You must have used my son to try an experiment. Let me see how bad you are." Chen Lihua said she started to undress her son.


    "I''ll go get you some deserts to eat." Liu Longwei said, standing up from the bed before marching towards the door.


    "Are you running away?." Chen Lihua teased.


    Liu Longwei stopped in his steps and turned around to give her a wink. "No, I just want to get some food for my wife. You said you were hungry right?."


    "I''m hungry, but first of all, come and watch me put the diaper in the right order." Chen Lihua said to him, and he scratched the back of his head before returning to their side.


    "Wow! ???? You are so bad at this but don''t worry, you will perfect it with practice." Chen Lihua said as she stared at the incredible work he did.


    The way Liu Longwei secured the diaper, if the child pees, it will leak into his clothing.


    Liu Longwei paid close attention as he watched his wife tutor him on how to put on a diaper on their son.


    "I missed the antenatal class for that day. But I did a good job for someone who doesn''t even have an idea about this." Liu Longwei said with a proud expression on his face.


    "Yeah, I know. Please hold him, I need to make use of the bathroom. Chen Lihua said as she got off the bed and walked into the bathroom on bare feet.


    Liu Longwei glanced at her fine legs with furrowed brows.


    The rest of the day, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei spent time with their son. And as they spent time with him, they learned new things about him.


    The next morning, Chen Lihua was woken up with a piece of slow and romantic music that was being played in her bedroom. She could see the room floor decorated with red rose ???? petals that read,  HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY BEAUTIFUL.


    A beautiful smile appeared on her face as she sat on her bed and looked around the room that had romantic decorations.


    She looked around her and discovered she was alone. Her son was nowhere to be seen, neither Liu Longwei, so she guessed he must have taken the child away.


    Looking at the beautiful decorations, she still couldn''t tell how he managed to decorate the room in the middle of the night, he really caught her off-guard.


    She checked the time on the fancy table clock on the lamp table and sat it was around 7 AM. She smiled, and just as she was about to get off the bed, her phone rang, and she smiled when she saw the caller ID.


    "Happy Wedding Anniversary Babe!!!." More than three voices were screaming that to her ears.


    Because of the loud sound, Chen Lihua had to put the phone some inches away from her ear.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said in a soft tone.


    "Lily, we want to see you, it''s been a while." A familiar voice said through the phone.


    Chen Lihua could tell it was Gigi''s voice. And with that, the rest of the girls in the background started sending out a request to see her.


    "Alright, give me a second." Chen Lihua said as she smiled happily, agreeing to their request.


    Chen Lihua picked up jer laptop and connected her phone to it. So within the next few minutes, the video call was connected.


    "Ah!!! Lihua! We missed you!." The girls shrieked.

    Chen Lihua picked up her laptop and connected her phone to it. So within the next few minutes, the video call was connected.


    "Ah!!! Lihua! We missed you!." The girls shrieked when they saw her smiling face.


    Chen Lihua blushed ??  as she replied, " I missed you all as well."


    It''s been almost a year since they last saw Chen Lihua. After her wedding, they all went back to their various countries and rarely did a video call.


    The last time they spoke through a video call, was a month or two after her wedding.


    Now seeing her after a long time, they were very excited.


    "Lily, you are looking more beautiful, I trust Longwei has been taking good care of you." Kendall (model) teased.


    "Yeah, we can see how rosy her cheeks are today!." Angel commented, and the others laughed out loud.


    "How have you been?." Caro (Married one) asked.


    "I''ve been well." Chen Lihua replied with a proud look on her face.


    "Yeah, we can see that, your body says it all." Jennifer (the black American) replied.


    "You look like you''re still on the bed, are you alone, beauty Queen?." Gigi asked.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly as she replied, "Yes."


    "Please show us around, we need to see what our beauty queen has been up to." Caro requested.


    "No... No." Chen Lihua rejected as a smirk played on her lips.


    "Please!!!." The girls pleaded in a loud tone.


    "Alright... Alright. But first, you have to hold on because I need to pee. I''ve been holding it for a long time now." Chen Lihua said to them and they gave her a few minutes off.


    "Just be quick, and make sure you''re not running away." Jennifer reminded in a loud tone as they all watched Chen Lihua walk away hurriedly.


    "Who else noticed our beauty Queen seemed to have put on some weight?." Caro asked.


    "I did..." Angel said raising her hands before the others raised their voices as well, they all agreed with what Caro said.


    "Maybe she''s being overfed," Gigi said as she laughed out loud, and the others joined her as well.


    Just then, they heard a deep male voice call out to Chen Lihua, as they could all hear a baby''s voice, crying.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._14368021206200105/chen-lihua''s-friends-discover-the-secret-she-kept-from-them_52478038679537594 for visiting.


    "Sweetheart where are you? I think the baby is hungry." Liu Longwei said as he walked into the room with the crying baby in his arms.


    The girls at the other end of the world glanced at themselves in confusion.


    They were truly very confused.


    "Is that not Lihua''s husband calling out to her?." Angel asked with confusion written all over her face.


    The others looked confused as well as Gigi replied, "I think so. It''s been a long since I heard his voice, so I''m not sure. But since he is inside Lily''s room, then I''m sure he is the one."


    Liu Longwei was not aware that Chen Lihua was on a video call, and he also couldn''t hear her friends speak because an earpiece was connected to the laptop.


    "But what about the baby? Does Lihua have a child?." Jennifer asked as she gave each of them a glance.


    There was silence for some seconds before Kendall spoke up, "I don''t think so, Lily would have mentioned about her pregnancy if there was anything like that, I mean, why would she hide something like that for such a long time.


    "Wei, your mum seems to be in the bathroom." Liu Longwei said as he tried to pacify his crying child.


    This was a new revelation to the girls.


    ''Did he just call Lihua the mother of the crying child?.'' This was the thought that was going through their mind.


    Just then, Chen Lihua came out from the bathroom. "Oh, my baby!." She said as she hurriedly walked towards Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei handed the child over to her as he said, "He has been crying for a while, I think he is hungry and needs to have his diaper changed."


    "Okay. Baby, mum is sorry." Chen Lihua said as she carried the child and went to sit on the sofa.


    Just as she was rocking her child, she just remembered that her laptop was turned on and that she was on a video call with her friends before she entered the bathroom.


    So, she slowly looked up at her laptop screen to see her friends staring at her in shock as they mumbled inaudible words, which was because the earpiece was still plugged in.


    "Darling, I can feel that I''m in trouble, please hold him." Chen Lihua said as she handed the child back to Liu Longwei.


    "Why are you in trouble, what happened?." Liu Longwei asked worriedly as he took the crying child in his arms.


    "Give me a sec." Chen Lihua said as she went back to the couch. She unplugged the earpiece, and she could hear her friend''s screams.


    Even her crying son stopped as he listened for where the noise was coming from.


    "Don''t shout, I have a child here. I will call you back in about ten to fifteen minutes, I need to feed him." Chen Lihua said as she disconnected the call despite the random questions that were being thrown at her from them.


    "Were you on a call just now?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise as he handed the child back to her.


    Chen Lihua took the child and laid him on his cot as she began to undress him. Seeing that the child was about to start crying, Chen Lihua started singing for him, and he became calm as well.


    Seeing the situation, Liu Longwei turned on the baby music through the blue fancy Bluetooth speaker.


    With the music turned on, Chen Lihua didn''t have to sing anymore, so she changed her son''s diaper as she replied to Liu Longwei''s question.


    "Actually, I was on a video call with Caro and the great of the girls before going on a bathroom break. And I never told them I was pregnant, or that I gave birth. Now, I''m sure they''ve all found out my little secret, so I''m in trouble, cause I don''t know how to start explaining to them my reason for keeping all these from them. I just hope they will understand me."


    "Oh My God! Sweetheart, I''m so sorry,  I didn''t know you were on a call, and  I came barging in with the baby, I''m so sorry." Liu Longwei apologized.

 Chapter 491 - A High Level Of Trust In You

    Liu Longwei smiled as he gazed into her eyes. When he saw she wasn''t faking it, he decided to explain further because he was kind of serious about it.


    "The only way I will accept your debt is if you pay me in kind. If you that, then there will be no problem. After I touched you yesterday in a long time, I discovered that I''ve been missing a lot, and I don''t want to feel that way again."


    "Okay. Our food is getting cold so let''s hurry up." Chen Lihua said as she stuffed some food into her mouth.


    Liu Longwei smiled, for he knew she had already accepted his conditions.


    "Is it not too early to drink the Champagne?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "It''s our day. I just want you to have a little taste of it." Liu Longwei said to her as he popped the Champagne and poured half a glass ???? before handing it to her.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    When he was done filling his glass, they clinked their glasses and toasted to ''Many Happy Year''s Ahead''.


    After breakfast, Madam Liu arrived. She bought some colorful toys that were befitting for newborns. Chen Lihua didn''t know what to say.


    As if that wasn''t enough, Madam Liu handed the extra bag by her side to her. "These are some beauty products and jewelry, you don''t have to worry, they are not that expensive."


    Chen Lihua took the bag from her with a happy smile on her face as she thanked her.


    "Don''t thank me, you deserve it. Just make sure to take care of yourself and the baby. As for Longwei..." Madam Liu trailed off as she glanced at her approaching son.


    Then, she continued, "He can take care of himself. I''m sure he loves you so much that he wouldn''t want to see you worked up. Right son?."


    She asked Liu Longwei who was staring at her with an amused expression on his face.


    "Mum, how did I offend you?." Liu Longwei asked as Chen Lihua chuckled softly from the side.


    "You didn''t offend me. I''m just trying to make you a responsible husband." Madam Liu said with a smirk on her face.


    "Thanks, Mum for your help, but Lihua and I will settle this matter ourselves. Lihua will take care of the baby and me. While  I will take care of her and the baby in return. Perfect!." Liu Longwei said.


    "I see. Lihua dear, do you accept it? If you don''t, I will bring justice for you." Madam Liu asked as she glanced at Chen Lihua.


    "Mum, I accept whatever Longwei says." Chen Lihua replied before hurrying away with a blush on her face.


    She didn''t know if this mother and son were collaborating to bully her this morning. She didn''t know if it was intentional, but she had to escape before it was too late.


    "Look at your wife, she is such a good person. Make sure you take care of her and avoid anything that will bring tears to her eyes." Madam Liu advised him with a serious look on her face.


    "Mum trust me, I wouldn''t do anything to intentionally hurt my wife, so you can rest assured." Liu Longwei promised.


    "That means your actions could still hurt her if it''s not intentional. If it''s so, then you need to tread carefully. I indeed have a high level of trust in you, but... I can''t trust you fully because you are human, and humans are bound to make mistakes, nobody is perfect. But I just want you to always keep your family happy. I don''t ever want to see tears in Lihua''s face, tears caused by you. Son, do you understand?."


    "Yes mother, I understood everything you said." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Good! Where is my grandson?." Madam Liu inquired as she looked around.


    "He''s upstairs, still asleep". Liu Longwei replied.


    "Wrong! This little guy has been awake and playing by himself. And when he saw me, he smiled, and then went back to playing again." Chen Lihua said as she walked forward with the baby in her arms.


    "As young as he is, he''s already so smart. I''m proud of him. He really did inherit his parent''s IQ." Madam Liu said as Chen Lihua placed the baby in her arms.


    "Sweet little boy, did you miss grandma?." Madam Liu asked as she smiled at the little guy who was giving her a scrutinizing gaze.


    Seconds later, the little guy smiled at her as he fiddled with his fists and rubbed his legs together.


    "Good boy! That''s more like it." Madam Liu said as she played with him.


    "Mum, I''m going to sleep for a while, Taio did not allow me to get enough sleep last night." Chen Lihua said with furrowed brows.


    "Go, my dear, I''m here to take care of him. You really need to get enough sleep because of your schedule today." Madam said in agreement.


    "Thank you, Mum." Chen Lihua said to her before patting Liu Longwei''s shoulder as she walked past him.


    "Mum, I''m going with her as well. If the baby is, hungry, you can come and find me in the study. But if you don''t see me there, then just know I''m still in Lihua''s bedroom. You can knock on it as well." Liu Longwei said to his mother.


    "Alright! You need to rest as well since the baby disturbed your sleep last night. Go ahead." Madam Liu said to her with a kind smile on her face.


    Liu Longwei peeked at his little boy before fiddling with his cute tiny fingers with a smile on his face.


    Feeling the touch on his fingers, the little guy traced the big fingers holding his tiny ones, till he came to stare at his father''s face.


    "See you..." Liu Longwei said to him and he received a smile in response. Then, he walked away satisfactorily.


    "Wei, your parents have gone to take a nap, so you are here with grandma. And grandma bought you beautiful toys. Great Grandma is extending her greetings to you. She will come to see you soon, okay....?."


    Madam Liu kept talking to her grandchild with smiles on her face.

 Chapter 492 - Changes after Child Birth

    When Liu Longwei walked into Chen Lihua''s bedroom, she slowly opened her eyes with her gaze fixed on him.


    He smiled as he closed the door before walking towards her.


    Chen Lihua opened the duvet for him to come inside and lay down beside her. And of course, Liu Longwei was more than happy to honor her request.


    "I thought you wouldn''t come because you didn''t understand my sign." Chen Lihua said as she snuggled into his arms.


    "I''m sorry for keeping you waiting. At first, I didn''t know it was a sign. But it didn''t take long for me to realize that you needed some time with me." Liu Longwei said as he hugged her with one of his arms ???? as a pillow for her, while the other one rested on her waist.


    "Sometimes, I think about our journey so far, and I smile because we have come so far. I appreciate you a lot for the deep and intentional understanding. We''ve never fought, and it''s all because of you. Sometimes, I wonder if I''m actually the perfect wife for you." Chen Lihua said as she rested in his arms.


    "My mum said we are humans, so we can never be perfect. But I believe we see the ones dear to our hearts as perfect because we accept their flaws and love them for who they are." Liu Longwei replied as he caressed her back.


    "Thank you for always giving in to me." Chen Lihua said with her eyes closed as she moved closer to him.


    "I love you." Liu Longwei whispered and kissed her forehead.


    He stayed awake, and only left for his study when she was deep into sleep.


    About an hour later, his mother brought his little son to him.


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he looked up to see them. "Has he been crying for a long time?." He asked as he stood up and walked towards her to take the little child from her.


    "It hasn''t been quite long." Madam Liu said as she handed the child over to him.


    "Ssshhhh... Wei, calm down Okay, I''m going to take you to your mother soon." Liu Longwei said as he tried to placate him.


    "Your son doesn''t understand what you''re saying, he''s hungry." Madam Liu teased.


    "Mum, did you change his diaper?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Yes, I did, thinking that was the reason he''s crying," Madam replied.


    The little guy stopped crying as he stared at his father, but it was obvious that he was going to cry soon, so Liu Longwei said to him as he walked towards the door.


    "I''m taking you to your mother, okay?." Liu Longwei said to him.


    Liu Longwei took his son into Chen Lihua''s bedroom. And Chen Lihua did wake immediately she heard her child''s voice.


    "He must be so hungry..." Chen Lihua said as she sat up a little more quickly.


    Liu Longwei passed the child to her, and the little guy quieted down as he began to suck.


    "Darling, could you help me pass the bottle and the b.r.e.a.s.t pump to mum, I need her help with getting it cleaned and sterilized. She knows how to do it." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei replied and left the room.


    After b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding her child, Chen Lihua had another work to do, and that was to pump b.r.e.a.s.t milk for her child since she was leaving the house without him in the evening.


    After lunch, the make-up artist and hairstylist Liu Longwei called arrived with the outfit.


    After doing their work, they left immediately. And by the time they left, it was almost evening.


    Chen Lihua was a little uncomfortable with the dress because her cleavage was on display. When Liu Longwei walked into her bedroom, he saw his wife with an unhappy expression on her face.


    (The people Liu Longwei contracted were the same ones that have been getting Chen Lihua ready for any event. So when they came, they passed the dress to Chen Lihua who said she wasn''t ready to get dressed, so they just did her makeup and styled her hair before leaving. The dress for the party was easy to put on, it had a back zip, so can be worn from the legs. With this, it wouldn''t ruin her makeup or her newly styled hair).


    (Also, they contacted workers, used a room downstairs to do Chen Lihua''s makeup. After her makeup, Chen Lihua went up to her room to dress after some time).


    Liu Longwei didn''t even need to ask before finding out the reason for her change in mood.


    "You can''t wear the dress, is too open." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Yeah, and wearing a tube inside would ruin the style of the dress." Chen Lihua said, a little depressed. The dress had a V-neck.


    "I''m sorry, I took the wrong measurement for your bust. I forgot that it increased in size, and should have asked you for the current measurement." Liu Longwei apologized.


    "It''s okay. I just hope that my burst will return to its original size when I stop b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding our baby. Right now, my biggest body part is my b.o.o.b.s." Chen Lihua complained.


    She didn''t like that fact. Since she became pregnant, her b.r.e.a.s.t added in size, and it seems like it increased again after she gave birth to her son.


    "Don''t complain about your body. You may not like it, but others do." Liu Longwei said to her as he gently pulled her up.


    "Who are those that like it?." Chen Lihua asked as she allowed him to hold her up and directed her towards the door to her walk-in closet.


    "Your son and your husband." Liu Longwei replied as he led her into her walk-in closet.


    "Oh! What are we doing here?." Chen Lihua asked in confusion.


    "Since there is no time to shop for another dress, let me pick something from your closet for you. I''m sure you still have some dresses I bought for you that you haven''t worn before. So, let''s pick one from there." Liu Longwei said as he searched through her clothes that were hanged.

 Chapter 493 - You Deserve A Kiss

    After changing into the new outfit Liu Longwei picked for her, she spent some time with her little son. She b.r.e.a.s.tfed him before handing him over to his paternal grandmother.


    "Taio, be a good boy to mummy comes back, Okay?." Chen Lihua said to her little guy before blowing a kiss his way.


    She had red lipstick ???? on, so she couldn''t kiss his skin directly.


    Liu Longwei said goodbye to his son before holding Chen Lihua''s hand and walking away with her.


    Chen Lihua wore a gown that hugged her figure, and it was to Liu Longwei''s taste. He wanted to admire his wife''s postpartum shape.


    Chen Lihua''s hair was curled, and the majority of it was hanging up in an updo, part from the little the twirled from both sides.


    She chose that hairstyle because of her son. She didn''t want him pulling her hair with his tiny fists. Although his fists were tiny, pulling her hair, was painful.


    "Mum, if he is not comfortable, call me,  I will come home immediately." Chen Lihua reminded Madam Liu just before Liu Longwei pulled her out of her sight.


    Liu Longwei chose the Rolls-Royce for their little outing today.


    Liu Longwei took Chen Lihua to one of the latest restaurants in the city. It was located on the top (10th) floor of the building.


    "I''ve never been here before." Chen Lihua said as she gave admiring glances to the before scene before her.


    "Yeah, I bet, because you don''t hang out with your friends, or on your own." Liu Longwei said as he her hand and stared right into her eyes.


    "And that''s because I find it tiring. Back in the states, I didn''t like going out as well, it was my friends that always dragged me out. If wasn''t going to school,  I was going for shoots and runways. So, where would I even find that kind of time to think of hanging out?." Chen Lihua said to him as they took the glass elevator.


    Chen Lihua was tempted to look back, but Liu Longwei stopped her. "If you look back, you will be scared. We are going to the top floor, and this is a glass elevator, and you can see the world outside, and they can see you as well."


    "Darling, hope we will get up safely?. Thinking about how high we are going, I''m beginning to feel a little breathless." Chen Lihua said with a hand placed on her chest as her facial expression looked frightened.


    "Shhhhhh... Calm down, okay? I''m here with you. I love heights, but you don''t, and this I know very well. The interior design and the location are some of the reasons  I brought you here, despite knowing your fears. Just look into my eyes, and think of us being in the room, and right under the blankets with our son between us." Liu Longwei said with his hands placed on his shoulders.


    Chen Lihua shut her eyes and decided to think of the beautiful moments she''s had with her son and husband.


    Seconds later, she had a ''ding'' sound from the elevator. And immediately, she felt a hand pulling her, so she opened her eyes and met with Liu Longwei''s dark eyes that were fixed on her.


    Liu Longwei pulled her to himself with a hand wrapped around her waist. "We are here!." He announced.


    As they took a step out from the elevator, they met with a foreign man who had a big smile on his face. He looked to have been waiting for them.


    "Welcome, Mr. And Mrs. Liu." The man said as he shows them the way forward. He was the manager of the restaurant.


    "This place looks fancy." Chen Lihua said as she looked around with a calm disposition.


    "Yes, it does. We should come here more often. But before that, let''s see if you are 100% satisfied after checking some other things out." Liu Longwei whispered to her.


    "Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, I''m sure you would love it here. Our goal is to make our customers happy while enjoying their meal, and also feel comfortable with the environment." The manager said as he walked them to their seats.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the heavenly interior decorations and sat down after Liu Longwei pulled out a chair for her.


    "Your goal has been achieved because I don''t think I would want to go back home after eating here." Chen Lihua said to the manager who had a fat smile on his face.


    "Thank you, Mrs. Liu. I will serve the Champagne now." He said as he excused himself.


    "Are you sure you wouldn''t want to go back home?." Liu Longwei asked as they were left alone.


    "That would be true if I didn''t have you and Taio at home. I mean, this place is beautiful." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "If you like it, I can have our dining area, decorated with an even more beautiful interior." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Then all the more reason why I would remain indoors." Chen Lihua replied, hinting at something.


    Liu Longwei understood her and smiled to himself.


    His wife was not the outing type, so making the house too comfortable for her, would make it difficult for her to visit some places because she already had those things and that familiar environment back home.


    So that move would be a huge mistake.


    The manager arrives two minutes later with a butler, who carried a small stainless bucket with a slightly chilled bottle of Champagne in it.


    After placing the champagne ???? glasses ???? in front of the couple, the manager personally popped the champagne for them.


    "Happy first Wedding Anniversary to you, Mr. And Mrs. Liu." The manager said as he poured half glass of Champagne into their glasses, before returning the bottle to the stainless bucket which was left on the center of their table.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei said to him.


    "Serve the food twenty minutes later." Liu Longwei instructed as he sent them on their way.


    Then, he turned to Chen Lihua to say, "You look beautiful this evening."


    They linked glasses as Chen Lihua replied, "You are handsome, and I can trace our son''s beautiful looks to your route."


    Liu Longwei gave a slight smile as he twirled the Champagne glass in his hands. He said as he slowly put the glass ???? on the table.


    "You deserve a kiss for that statement."


    With that, he stood up and went to her side as Chen Lihua stared at him in surprise with different thoughts going through her mind.


    ''Is he going to kiss me here?.''

 Chapter 494 - A Surprise from the family... Chynna is out...

    ''Is he going to kiss me here?.''


    Well, Liu Longwei really did kiss Chen Lihua right there. Chen Lihua blushed as she lowered her head.


    Some minutes later, their food was served. So many appetizing and delicious delicacies were before them.


    "Wow! Their food is really nice." Chen Lihua nodded satisfactorily after having a bite from the food.


    "Yeah, it is. I like it when I see that ring on your slender finger." Liu Longwei said to her in between meals.


    "The engagement ring?." Chen Lihua asked, not sure if she was right.


    "Yes, but you don''t wear it often." Liu Longwei said in a dejected tone.


    "Well, that''s because it''s expensive and weighs some carats of diamonds. I can''t afford to wear this every day, so that''s the reason I decided to only put it on, on important occasions." Chen Lihua said while admiring the pink diamond ring on her finger, that weighed nothing less than 24 carats of diamonds.


    After dinner, they talked for a while. They reminisced about their past, their childhood, and their relationship in the past year.


    It was such a sweet moment to have the whole place to themselves because Liu Longwei booked the whole floor just for them alone.


    "Give me your hands..." Liu Longwei demanded as he stretched forth his hands on the table with a loving smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua obeyed him and stretched her hands towards him as he requested.


    "Lihua, I love you so much, and I will do anything just to keep you happily by my side. I hope we''ll spend our life together and forever." Liu Longwei said and immediately kissed the back of her palms.


    "Darling, I love you so much and wish to spend eternity with you, you mean more than a lot to me." Chen Lihua confessed her true feelings to him.


    "I love you too, Sweetheart." Liu Longwei said to her with a genuine smile on his face.


    Suddenly coming out of those deep emotions, Chen Lihua said as Liu Longwei released her hands.


    "Oh! I miss my son, and I already want to go back home!."


    "Oh! I see that you''re tired of looking at my old handsome face already, so you are looking for a younger one to admire." Liu Longwei teased.


    "You''re right. I want to stare at the mini you, he''s so cute." Chen Lihua said as she gushed over her handsome son she left with his grandma at home.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei didn''t go home immediately. Instead, they went for a short distance drive before going back home.


    When they arrived home, they felt that something was off, but they couldn''t really pinpoint the actual problem.


    The house was always quiet, so they felt nothing wrong with it. But as they stepped into the first leaving area which was for guests that weren''t really close to them, they met with darkness.


    They couldn''t see anything...


    Chen Lihua was worried and wanted to take a step forward, but Liu Longwei held her hand. "Don''t move!." He said to her.


    "But what''s going on, why is everywhere so dark?." Chen Lihua asked, but then, she received the answer from a familiar voice not quite some distance from them, but she jumped in fright.


    "That''s because it''s your First Wedding Anniversary." Came the voice, and immediately, the lights came on!


    What a wonderful surprise to see the efforts her family put up for her and Liu Longwei.


    The room was decorated with balloons and other simple decorations, but it still managed to look perfect.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei could see their close family members there in the room, they were utterly surprised with the whole thing.


    "Happy Wedding Anniversary!!!." All of them screamed with excitement laced in their voices.


    Chen Lihua had her hands over her mouth in surprise as she looked at every one of them. She was very happy!


    "For a moment, I thought you two planned on abandoning your son to spend the night together at someplace." Madam Liu said as she approached with the little lively guy in her arms.


    The little guy had his little fist in his mouth as he sucked on them. At times, he would hit them in the air, before putting them back in his mouth as he drooled.


    But when he saw his mother, there was an excitement on his face, as he kicked his little arms and legs about.


    It was obvious that he wanted to be in her embrace, and of course, Chen Lihua granted him that request.


    "What''s up, my cute little boy? Have you been obedient since I left?." Chen Lihua asked as she smiled at him.


    The little guy stared at her, and then he smiled back at her.


    "What a cute little boy you''ve got, Congratulations Lihua." An audible female voice spoke from amongst the little crowd.


    Chen Lihua who was smiling at her little boy, looked surprised as the smile slowly faded away, as she began to look through the crowd to know if her sixth sense got the gaze right.


    Slowly, the way was parted, and Chynna appeared in sky blue palazzo trousers, with the same matching jacket.


    She looked beautiful and almost entirely different with the nude makeup on her face. In fact, she totally looked different from what she used to look like at the Asylum.


    "Chynna? Is that you?." Chen Lihua asked, not so sure of herself. She felt like her eyes were deceiving her.


    It was at this point that Liu Longwei had to take the active little guy away from her arms, least she dropped him in shock, but which was by the way, impossible.


    Chynna gave a natural smile which expressed the tranquility within her soul.


    "It''s me, Lihua, I''m out," Chennai said as she slowly walked towards her, and came to stop few steps away from her.


    Chen Lihua was surprised to see this friend of hers in a new light. This was her best friend from Grade school to High school!

 Chapter 495 - Darling, Can You Behave?

    Chen Lihua was so emotional as she embraced her. Chynna had changed so much, that she almost didn''t recognize her.


    This reunion was so important to her. For two months now, she hasn''t set her eyes on her friend. And since this new responsibility of being a mother came upon her, she really didn''t think much about her friend.


    But it''s good she made preparations beforehand, or she would have asked her husband''s help when she felt choked up with the work.


    The two friends talked for a while before the family joined in the conversation as another topic was brought up.


    Chen Lihua a good time of her life that evening. She didn''t eat anything, because her husband made sure her stomach was filled before bringing her back home.


    But Chen Lihua didn''t refuse the cake and the wine, she gladly accepted that fact.


    "Hope you won''t start screaming that you''ve put on some weight in a few days?." Liu Longwei whispered to her.


    "I wouldn''t mind. Before that time comes, I would have walked it out already. My coach will be coming tomorrow, so I don''t have to worry about it. And besides, this is our Anniversary cake,  I have to eat for me and our son." Chen Lihua said the last sentence while glancing at her b.o.o.b.s, and then at her son, that was busy looking around his lively surrounding.


    He was currently in his grandfather''s arms. Maternal grandfather, to be precise.


    A mischievous smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he glanced at her b.o.o.b.s. He was almost tempted to grab them, but he controlled himself just when he was almost out of his wits.


    "Don''t just eat for you and our son alone, eat my share as well, so I can come asking for it late at night." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears in a low seductive voice, as he intentionally let his hot breath, tease the sensitive side of her neck.


    Chen Lihua flinched because of his seductive words, and his hit breath that teased her neck. She almost pushed him away, if not that she recollected herself.


    "Darling, can you behave? And please, don''t come to me at night. I''m so tired that I just want to close my eyes and sleep once my head hits the bed. *sighs... But our son, wouldn''t let that happen." Chen Lihua whispered.


    "I will help you feed our child whenever he''s hungry at night. You just need to make sure there is enough milk for him in his feeder, but you still need to settle me in the morning before I leave for work." Liu Longwei said to her as he winked at her.


    ''Shameless Man!.'' Chen Lihua thought as she stared at him wordlessly...


    Observing her facial expression, Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he asked, "Your face doesn''t look good, you don''t like the deal?. Having a good night rest and taking care of me in the morning, compared to having a sleepless night, and still doing your job tomorrow, which do you prefer?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "You know, I have to look after our son at exch time he wakes up in the night, plus I have a lot of work to do in the office tomorrow, plus dinner meetings." Liu Longwei added ac they exchanged glances.


    A few seconds later, Chen Lihua gave up.


    "Fine! You win!. Thank you!." She said as she stood up in a bid to take her son back from her father, who was holding him with one arm and with a drink in his hand.


    Just then, she was dragged to the dance floor along with Liu Longwei by her good sister-in-law, Liu Dongmei!


    And the others cheered them on, to have a dance together.


    Chen Lihua was shy as she covered her face with her hands, but Liu Longwei welcomed the idea as he moved her hands away from her face.


    He stared into those magnetic eyes that sucked up his soul, with a passionate gaze. He took her hands and led her in a dance.


    As they began to dance, everyone quietened down.


    Lady Chen took over her grandson, as she turned his views so he could see his parents in each other''s arms, dancing to live music.


    The little guy stared at them from afar, but the next moment, he yawned and brought out his tongue.


    It was obvious that he didn''t recognize them, because he couldn''t see them clearly, and coupled with the fact he wasn''t interested and tired, and so needed to get some sleep.


    Lady Chen smiled as she watched the little guy''s gestures, so changed his position by placing him on her shoulder and rubbing his back gently, so he could sleep now that he was in a comfortable position.


    The music in the room wasn''t loud, so, the environment was conducive enough for the baby.


    And the a.d.u.l.ts being sensible enough, didn''t make noise, because they were aware of the fact that a baby was in their midst.


    The little party didn''t last for long, because some people still needed to go back to their various homes.


    "Chynna, make sure to visit me often once you get the time." Chen Lihua said to Chynna once she saw her off outside the house.


    "I know... I know..." Chennai replied as she hugged her.


    "That''s good!."


    Looking around, Chen Lihua discovered something was amiss, so she asked, "What if the car I bought for you? You didn''t come in it, why?."


    "I don''t know how to drive yet. My diving lessons will start next week, so I came in a taxi. You don''t have to worry about it." Chynna said to her.


    A car was one of the things amongst the many that Chen Lihua bought for her. Chen Lihua had cars, but she never gave out the ones she has used, instead, she bought a brand new car for her.


    Chen Lihua did this because she didn''t want Chynna to feel she was given a used product, even though she knew she would never feel or think that way.


    But she still did this, because she was led in her heart to do it. And besides, this was her long-time friend, she had to give her the best, and a fresh start.


    She had the money, and even if she didn''t, her husband had the money!


    What a good friend she was!


    "I''m sorry, I forgot about that. Don''t worry, I will ask someone to send you home." Chen Lihua said as she made a call with her phone.


    "You don''t have to stress yourself, you know I can always take a taxi," Chynna said to her with a helpless smile on her face.


    "I know, and which is why I have to send you home. It''s late, so I will only rest assured if my people take you home." Chen Lihua said to her as she went ahead to make the call.


    Two minutes later, K2 (Chen Lihua''s bodyguard) and one of the drivers, came over to their side.


    "Take my friend home, and make sure you follow her to her doorstep. And you may only leave after she has walked into the house!." Chen Lihua instructed in a serious tone.


    "Yes, Ma''am!!!." K2 and the driver nodded in response.


    "Thank you, see you soon," Chynna said as she hugged Chen Lihua again, before settling herself inside the car the driver can with.

 Chapter 496 - Stuck With Him

    Chen Lihua''s two mothers along with her two sisters-in-law stayed back.


    Late last month, Liu Huiling had traveled with her kids. But she was back now.


    At night, Chen Lihua slept peacefully while Liu Longwei looked after their son.


    When his cries got loud, he had to take him to his bedroom, allowing his wife to enjoy a peaceful night''s rest.


    When Chen Lihua woke up in the morning, she discovered she was all alone. So she washed up before going to Liu Longwei''s bedroom to look for the two guys in her life.


    But she was surprised because she didn''t expect to see anyone there. So she went downstairs to find them, only to be told that they hadn''t seen them.


    There could only be two more places to find them since he wasn''t seen downstairs. It was the gym or the study.


    Sure enough, She saw the guys in the gym room. Her little guy was in his baby carrier, watching her big guy workout.


    At times, he would put his fist inside his mouth, and then would take it out and giggle the next second.


    Chen Lihua found this sight interesting. Her big guy was working out, while her little guy was playing all by himself. She thought the little guy would be sleeping by now since she has studied his sleep routine, but it turns out that she was wrong today.


    The little guy was working out with his father ????????.


    Hip-hop music was currently playing, but the volume was not loud, because of the child.


    The gym room had soundproof, so that must be the reason nobody knew these guys were here.


    "Good morning, Darling..." Chen Lihua greeted Liu Longwei as she closed the food behind her.


    "Good morning, Love, I trust you slept well last night..." Liu Longwei said to her as he paused with the push-ups.


    "Yes, and I have you to thank for that." Chen Lihua worked up to him and wrapped her hands around his shoulder as she leaned in to peck his lips.


    "You''re acting so sweet this morning." Liu Longwei said with a smile on his face as he wrapped his hands around her waist, before leaving a kiss on her forehead.


    "I''ve always been sweet, it just that you didn''t discover it in time." Chen Lihua said with a mischievous smile on her face.


    "I see... I will be leaving for work in an hour." He said glancing at the sports watch on his wrist. "I will miss you and that obedient little guy over there." He said this part with his gaze on the little guy that was mumbling incoherent words to himself.


    "He''s so cute." Chen Lihua said as she walked up to him and pinched his cheeks gently. The little guy smiled at her as he kicked his little arms and legs about.


    "You want me to carry you? Okay, I will." Chen Lihua said as she took him in her arms.


    "Did you Miss Mama?." Chen Lihua asked as she smiled at him.


    Liu Longwei wiped the sweat off his face and neck as he watched the mother and son from the side with a doting smile on his face.


    When they left the gym room for Liu Longwei''s bedroom, the obedient cute little bun started to cry.


    "Heh! What''s wrong, weren''t you smiling a few minutes ago?." Chen Lihua asked as she tried to placate him.


    "He missed you all night. And you know what he wants, so, give it to him." Liu Longwei said as he opened the door to his bedroom, and then closed it when they had entered inside.


    How can Chen Lihua not know what her son wanted? Of course, she knew what he wanted. So she sat on the couch in the room, and gave him what he wanted, and only then did he stop crying.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he came to their side, and Chen Lihua held her son protectively in her arms.


    "Are you scared?." Liu Longwei asked as he let out a low chuckle when he noticed her movement.


    "Yes. Who knows what evil plans you have?." Chen Lihua said as she rolled her eyes.


    "Relax, I didn''t come for you. I came for him." Liu Longwei said with his gaze fixed on the little one that was suckling with one of his hands on his mother''s boob.


    "How dare he hold what belongs to me so possessively?." Liu Longwei asked with raised brows.


    "Why are you jealous? It belongs to the both of you." Chen Lihua said, glancing at him.


    Liu Longwei gazed at her with a smirk on his face and it was only then that she realized what she said, so she bit her lips.


    Liu Longwei chuckled seeing her in a difficult situation.


    "You will be late for work if you continue standing here to tease me." Chen Lihua reminded him in an annoyed tone.


    Liu Longwei gave her and the child a glance before walking into the bathroom.


    "Taio? Don''t mind your father, Okay?." Chen Lihua said to the child.


    Even after Liu Longwei dressed and came back to the bedroom, the little guy was still eating.


    "Is he not tired?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    He was wondering if his little mouth wasn''t hurting him for sucking for so long.


    "I''m stuck with him. He just doesn''t want to let go, even when his eyes are closed." Chen Lihua said in a helpless tone.


    She was troubled. She didn''t know if the guy was sleeping or not. But since she tried to take her boob away from his mouth and failed, she concluded that he wasn''t sleeping.


    "Sorry, I can''t help you with that. I''m leaving for work now, but I will try to come home early today. And don''t just stay indoors today, you can go shopping with Dongmei and Huiling. Our mothers are here, so you can leave our son with them." Liu Longwei suggested.


    "I don''t want to go out today, thank you! I don''t want to leave him alone today, because I did that yesterday and I missed him." Chen Lihua grumbled.


    "Alright then, you can put him in his car and take a walk around the house. I''m leaving, see you later." Liu Longwei said as he planted a soft kiss on his son''s forehead, and then on Chen Lihua''s lips.


    "Bye..." Chen Lihua said to him as she watched him leave...

 Chapter 497 - First Ride

    Some weeks later...


    Chen Lihua was planning on going back to work, so she had to discuss with Liu Longwei, so they could make the perfect arrangement.


    "Since you want to go back to work next month, what plans do you have about our son? Do you want to take him to work?." Liu Longwei inquired as he gazed at her with w soft countenance.


    "No, I don''t want to. Remember, my initial goal was to keep our son away from the media and the public. So my going back to work shouldn''t ruin the plans. I want to get a nanny who will look after him. But my heart is not at ease, leaving my child with a total stranger." Chen Lihua voiced out her complaints.


    "Remember that I got two nannies for our son before he was born? So now he is out, is time for them to resume work. They are professionals and have worked for my family before, so you don''t have to worry about them. But to be on the safe side, our mothers would drop by once in a while, and we have the servants and the guards to keep watch." Liu Longwei said.


    "I think having two nannies is too much." Chen Lihua said nit buying that idea.


    "They are not much. They would take care of our son when we are not disposed of, and his properties as well. And because I know you would be worried about the child while in the hospital even though you gave this suggestion, a chopper will drop you off at work, and bring you back on time." Liu Longwei said for he had carefully thought about this matter.


    "I''m I the president that would be shuffling between the house and the hospital with a helicopter as a means of transportation?." Chen Lihua asked.


    She was beyond shocked by his suggestions, but it did make sense for her.


    "Your husband can afford it. You don''t have to worry about the money, just relax and take care of yourself. Have you spoken with the Chief to design a suitable schedule for you?." Liu Longwei asked as this question was very important.


    "Yes, I''ve gotten in touch with him, and he made my schedule, flexible. I would just have to work for four hours maximum during consultation. Then for emergency surgeries, it would be rare to ask me to comply unless it''s a serious case. Then for surgeries scheduled, I would be notified long before the actual day so I can be prepared." Chen Lihua replied. She was quite happy with the deputy chief being so considerate.


    "It seems I don''t have to butt in since you''ve settled everything yourself. Well, that''s good progress. If you need anything, notify me immediately, and I will help you get it done." Liu Longwei reminded her.


    This wife of his was independent and rarely asked him for help, so mist times, he gets frustrated that he butts in, in her matter most of the time.


    Sometimes, it seems he''s jobless and looking for what to do for his wife.


    What a Sweet Man!


    "Don''t forget to go out more often if you want to. Once you start working, you may not have the time to go to places of your interest." Liu Longwei said to her as he stood up from his seat and walked to her side.


    Actually, they were in the study. They were both working when Chen Lihua brought up the issue.


    It''s been a few months since Chen Lihua practiced, so she was trying to see what she could get her hands on.


    "Alright, I will go sightseeing a few days before going I go back to work. It''s been a while..."


    As she said, few days before she resumed work, she went for a drive with her son in her new sports car.


    Liu Longwei had gone to work, and her two sisters-in-law as well. Madam Liu returned to the Liu Villa to take accompany the Old Lady for a ceremony.


    As for the nannies, Chen Lihua did not allow them to come out with her. At first, she didn''t want the bodyguards to follow her out, but they had to since they were acting under Liu Longwei''s instructions.


    They were doing their job, So Chen Lihua allowed them to follow her with their car.


    Chen Lihua had her little cute vibrant son secured in his car set at the only passenger seat. The little guy was unfamiliar with his new surrounding, so he kept looking around with a curious gaze.


    To entertain him, Chen Lihua played a baby song for him. She smiled when she saw him kick his arms and legs about out of excitement.


    The baby song she put for him was a familiar one, so it wasn''t new to him. This is the song he has been listening to since he turned a month old.


    And instead of getting tired of the song because of how long he had listened to it, he keeps Imus getting more excited each time he listens to the song play.


    Before going out, Chen Lihua was already prepared for it, so she pumped some milk for him, in case she didn''t want to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed him inside the car. She also packed some necessary things he would need, including his toys and his car, for strolling.


    After driving around for a while, Chen Lihua started craving fast food, so she packed in front of a restaurant and ordered K2 to go in and buy some snacks for all of them, while she watched over her sleeping son.


    After taking her snacks, she smiled to herself as she got ready to continue with the drive, but she refused a call from an unsaved contact.


    "Hello!?." She said in a professional tone.


    "Lihua, it''s me." The male voice said.


    When Chen Lihua heard that voice, she could very well guess who he was as her mind wandered about. But she remained calm and allowed the person to introduce himself.


    "It''s Weiyuan! Can we meet up in an hour?." Chen Weiyuan asked in a soft tone.

 Chapter 498 - Chen Lihua sends her son to the Liu Company for his Father to look after Him

    She played with him for a while, before taking out a bottle of milk from his feeder which she left in a portable bag on the floor of his seat.


    She took the fast-growing little guy in her arms and started to feed him.


    Taio was three months old now, and he looked cuter because his facial features were now pronounced and he had more flesh added to his body.


    His mother was feeding him well, and he was being well taken care of.


    "Taio, Mum is going to leave with you with your father, I want to meet your uncle, Okay?." Chen Lihua said to him as she place and secured him back on his Car seat.


    Chen Lihua decided while she was feeding him. She didn''t want to take her child out of the car, because no one can recognize her. So she decided to send him to his father.


    As she drove off, K2 and J5 followed her with their car.


    When she got to the Liu Company, she parked in the underground park and phoned Asst Duyi to come to the underground car park.


    Liu Longwei was currently in a conference meeting, and his rule was that all phones should be silenced ????. He didn''t even want to hear the annoying sounds from the vibration.


    But Asst Duyi who was standing behind, was unlucky because he forgot to turn off his phone. So when Chen Lihua called him, the important meeting paused for his sake as all eyes turned to stare at him.


    Asst Duyi cursed under his breath when he received a death glare from his Boss. So he immediately took out his phone from his pocket. He was about to reject the incoming call when he accidentally glanced at the caller ID.


    He sighed in relief and thanked his stars when he saw who was calling.


    "Boss, it''s Madam." He whispered to Liu Longwei in a low voice just the two of them could hear, but it was difficult for that because there was a pin drop silent, so those close to their side, still heard what he reported.


    "Then why are you not answering it?." Liu Longwei asked in a strong tone. His wife must have called for something important, so why was he delaying?


    "I''m sorry, Sir." Asst Duyi apologized and answered the call immediately, just at the last ring.


    "Good afternoon, Ma''am!." He greeted.


    He listened for only three seconds before replying with, ''Okay, Ma''am'' and the call disconnected.


    Liu Longwei was still waiting for the outcome of the call, just in case his wife had an important request from him.


    "She asked me to come down." Asst. Duyi replied.


    Liu Longwei waved his hands and Asst. Duyi left the meeting. As soon as he left, hushed voices were coming from the very important men in the conference room.


    But only an annoying glare from Liu Longwei, caused them to swallow their words. Then, a woman in her fifties stood up to speak, concerning the important matter...


    After speaking to Liu Longwei''s PA, Chen Lihua came down from the car and called K2 and J5 over.


    Chen Lihua lifted her son from the baby car seat, as K2 converted it to a portable stroller (because the baby car seat could be converted to a stroller) at Chen Lihua''s instructions.


    Under Chen Lihua''s instructions, J5 opened the booth of their car and took out the baby things she pointed at.


    Chen Lihua put her child inside the stroller, and the child began to cry because he still wanted me in his mother''s arms.


    Chen Lihua was surprised by his cries, so she looked around to make sure nobody was within, then she turned to the little guy and shushed him.


    "Ssshhh!." Taio stopped crying and gazed at his mother in surprise. He seemed to have been shocked by her action.


    "Don''t look at me like that, I''m sending you to your father, so you have to be obedient till I get back. Your father has so many works to do, so don''t distract him." Chen Lihua instructed the little guy.


    Just then, Asst. Duyi walked over to them in a hurry. He looked surprised to see a woman who he guessed to be Chen Lihua, squatting and talking to somebody, but he couldn''t see the  ''somebody''  she was talking to, because of the angle.


    Seeing that her son was well behaved now, and went back to talking to himself, Chen Lihua smiled in satisfaction as stood to her feet. She heard footsteps behind her, so she turned to glance in that direction.


    "You''re right here on time! Please, take him to his father, and don''t allow anyone to take a look at his face. This bag, contains his food, wipes, diapers, a change of clothes, and others. Here, you can find his toys and the rest. I would be out for two hours at most." Chen Lihua instructed.


    Asst. Duyi was confused with the instructions and was wondering which child? Whose father? Till Chen Lihua moved away, and he saw the little handsome child in his stroller. His mouth was left agape in shock.


    After saying her piece, she turned and got into her sports car, and drove off.


    Asst. Duyi glanced at the child and the stern-looking bodyguards who had their gaze fixed on him, with the look that was blatantly asking, ''Won''t you take the child up?''.


    Asst Duyi took over the stroller, as the bodyguards followed behind him with the items in their hands.


    In his mind, he was thinking, ''When did his Boss have a son, and how come he didn''t know about it?.


    Chen Lihua did not look like someone that gave birth, or like a mother to him, because her body size still looked the same even though he didn''t dare to take a good look at her.


    "Did Boss adopt a child?." Asst. Duyi muttered in a low voice and he received a death glare from the bodyguards because they heard him.

 Chapter 499 - Looking After His Son

    Finally, when they got to Liu Longwei''s office using his private elevator, Asst. Duyi sighed in relief as he wiped off the imaginary sweat.


    According to Chen Lihua''s instructions, the child''s identity must be kept hidden, and his face can not be seen by anyone.


    As simple as this task was, it wasn''t easy accomplishing them, but thanks to the bodyguards, whose scary look scared of the inquisitive employees who tried to take a peek at the little guy who was busy talking to himself.


    The cute sounds from his lips attracted bees like honey.


    Now with the child playing by himself, and the bodyguards standing at a safe distance from and the child, Asst. Duyi was left in a dilemma, for he didn''t know if he should report the situation to his Boss, personally, or if he should accompany the child till the meeting ends.


    ''Will Boss kick me out of the company for leaving his son alone in the office?.'' He thought to himself.


    He completely lost hope with the iron-faced-looking bodyguards who didn''t have even a smile on their faces.


    If he asked them to watch over the little guy, their not friendly face might end up scaring the child.


    Thinking over the situation once again, he picked up his phone and dialed Liu Longwei''s number, with doubt in his heart, if he would be sacked for interrupting the important meeting.


    Liu Longwei who was currently listening to one of the manager''s talks glanced at his phone, whose screen light, just turned on.


    Seeing the caller ID, he answered the call while signaling the male manager to continue.


    Immediately the call was answered, Asst. Duyi didn''t wait for Liu Longwei to speak, so he quickly delivered the information.


    "Sir, there is a bit of a situation in your office." He reported.


    With furrowed brows, Liu Longwei asked, "What kind of situation is that?."


    Asst. Duyi glanced at the child from quite a distance (he moved quite some distance from the cueing baby, so his voice wouldn''t be a distraction) before speaking up in a low tone.


    "Boss, your son is in the office, Madam dropped him off and left immediately, but she said she would be back soon."


    "That little guy is in my office?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise, and then, there was silence in the conference room as all eyes were on him.


    The surprised look on his face, his tone, and his words attracted that attention. But a warning glare towards them, caused the meeting to continue.


    "Yes, Boss!." Asst. Duyi replied.


    "Is he crying?." Liu Longwei asked in a worried tone, because he knew his little guy like his mother so much, and must be missing her.


    No, Boss, he''s playing by himself." Asst. Duyi replied after glaring towards the child that had his fist in his mouth.


    "No need to come back, watch over him." Liu Longwei instructed in a serious tone before terminating the call.


    ''So this is Boss''s son?.'' Asst. Duyi thought in wonder, as he approached the child.


    He knelt in front of him and gazed into the little guy''s eyes. The little guy gazed back at him and smiled. Next, he stretched his tender arm towards him as he continued talking in an unknown language.


    Asst. Duyi was at a loss on what to do, so he asked the child carefully, "Do you want me to lift you?."


    Instead of receiving a reply, he received another gesture from the little guy that he couldn''t understand.


    The little guy took back his arm and put his fist back into his mouth, as he continued to talk to himself.


    Seeing the saliva coming out from his mouth, Asst. Duyi suddenly developed a headache.


    ''How on earth am    I supposed to take care of a child?.'' Asst. Duyi thought to himself.


    To him, this was the hardest job or task, ever given to him by his Boss.


    He has never looked after a child before. And this was not just any child, but the heir of the Liu Family. And just now, there was a warning in his Boss''s tone when he asked him to look after his son.


    Right now, he was feeling like he would be in big trouble, even if he doesn''t do anything wrong.


    He had the rocked-faced bodyguards watching over him. His Boss would skin him alive, and then his Boss''s wife would annihilate his entire family.


    The thought of all these, caused fear to arouse in his heart and mind.


    Liu Longwei put his phone back on the table and glanced at his wristwatch before looking back at the person still presenting, who was actually the marketing manager.


    "Hold it there! You said something about... Why would you allow that to happen, what were your reasons?." Liu Longwei asked in a stern tone.


    The Marketing Manager was surprised that Liu Longwei heard that part clearly, even though he was on a call at that time.


    "You have two minutes to give me valuable reasons why you will not go home with a sack later today." Liu Longwei said in a serious tone.


    ......


    At the end of the day, the Marketing Manager managed to save himself, and his job. But his salary for the month was cut in half. At least, he still had a huge chance.


    The meeting lasted for ten more minutes before it came to an end.


    Walking into his office, Liu Longwei was greeted by the presence of the bodyguards who bowed to him in greeting.


    Now, his sight led him to his PA, who was currently keeping the little guy, company. And he could see that tired look on his face.


    "If you can''t even look after a child, you''re not fit to work here." Liu Longwei said as he approached them.


    Asst. Duyi felt cold sweat run down his back. He immediately stood up and bowed to Liu Longwei, not daring to say anything.


    "You may leave. And make sure nobody comes into my office unless it is an emergency that you can not handle." Liu Longwei instructed and sent him off.


    "Yes, Boss." Asst. Duyi replied and walked away hurriedly.


    The little guy in his stroller glanced at his father and started to kick his arms and legs in excitement. The little guy was really excited to see his father.


    Liu Longwei smiled at him before reaching out with his hand to pinch his cheeks gently. Taking his hand back, the little guy started to cry as he continued to kick his hands and feet about.


    "Ssshhh!!." Liu Longwei shushed him with a finger on his lips. But who knew that it wouldn''t work?.


    The little guy stopped crying for two seconds before he continued.


    Liu Longwei was surprised, so he queried him. "This works when your mother does it, but why is mine different? You don''t just want to listen to me, do you?."


    The little guy''s voice got louder as he kicked his feet and legs about, and Liu Longwei knew why he was acting that way, he wanted to be in his arms, so he relented and lifted him in his arms.


    Next, he rubbed his back in a soothing motion.


    "Where did my wife go to, and how come nobody followed her?." Liu Longwei asked the bodyguards.

 Chapter 500 - An Unexpected Comeback

    Liu Longwei received answers to his questions. And while he was taking care of his son who refused to play by himself, Chen Lihua was chatting with her half-brother.


    Their conversation was awkward because Chen Lihua wasn''t so comfortable talking with him, since they weren''t too close when they were young, and added to the fact that they''ve been separated for so many years.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t feel any connection, but thanks to her half-brother, who kept the conversation flowing.


    After having some necessary talks, Chen Weiyuan asked about her son.


    "I left him with his father." Chen Lihua replied as she sipped from her juice glass.


    "I see. So now we are in good term, can come by to see your husband and son? And of course, I''m not coming alone, I will come with Mum and Dad." Chen Weiyuan asked as he stared into her eyes.


    "You are welcome, anytime, as long as we remain close families." Chen Lihua replied. She definitely had no problems with that.


    "Alright, thank you!." Chen Weiyuan replied.


    Just then, Chen Lihua''s phone rang, so she apologized to him before answering the call.


    "What, do you and your son miss me already?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I wish it was just that. Your son more than misses you. He''s hungry?." Liu Longwei said before the child in his arms started to cry again.


    "His food is in the feeder, how long has he been crying?." Chen Lihua asked, unsettled with the situation.


    "He has been crying for a while now. He refused to eat from the bottle even though he''s hungry." Liu Longwei said as he walked about his office with his crying son.


    "Okay, I will be there in five minutes. But please, try to make him stop crying, I don''t like it. Give his toys to him, or sing a song to him. I brought a whole lot of stuff for that." Chen Lihua said as she stood to her feet.


    "Okay, I will try. When you get to the company, wait at the underground parking lot, we will meet you there." Liu Longwei instructed.


    "You are going home now?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "Yeah, see you..."


    "Your child is crying?." Chen Weiyuan asked.


    "Yes, and I''m sorry I have to leave. See you next weekend." Chen Lihua said as she waved goodbye to him.


    "Bye, be careful on the road!." Chen Weiyuan said with much urgency in his voice.


    At the underground parking lot, Chen Lihua saw Liu Longwei walking towards her with the child in his arms, as Asst. Duyi and the bodyguards followed him. (Liu Longwei''s bodyguards, included)


    All of them that followed him, were holding one item or the other.


    As Chen Lihua took over her son, he started to cry when he saw her.


    "Ssshhh, mum is here okay?." She said as she cuddled the little guy.


    The little guy cried for a few more seconds before shutting his mouth.


    Without wasting time, the bodyguards put everything they were holding inside the car and got inside.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei got inside the car she came with.


    As Liu Longwei sat on the driver''s seat, with Chen Lihua on the front passenger seat with the child in her arms, he drove off. And only then did Chen Lihua start to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed her son.


    You need to see the way this hungry little guy rushed the b.o.o.b.s as he clasped his little hands around it and began to suck hard on it.


    Chen Lihua tried to get him to suck slowly, but her attempt was futile, so she gave up.


    ************


    As Chen Lihua was preparing to go back to work, on Monday morning, she had to prepare b.r.e.a.s.tmilk for her son, since she would be leaving him with his nannies and grandmother.


    As she used the b.r.e.a.s.t pump, she complained to Liu Longwei.


    "I feel like a cow."


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he came to her side. He pecked her cheek and encouraged her.


    "You are not a cow! And you''re doing a good job, being a mother and a wife."


    The next day, Chen Lihua resumed work, and she was well welcomed after being absent for four months.


    The only person who couldn''t hide his disdain was the Deputy Chief.


    Like, this Old man would never change! ???? But it''s a good thing Chen Lihua didn''t spare him a glance.


    After welcoming her, The Chief asked to see him in the office, so they could talk about her schedules, in a way it would be favorable for her.


    That morning, Chen Lihua could see gifts piled up in her office. She smiled to herself as she glanced at the gifts with heartfelt gratitude, before taking a seat.


    After her morning consultations, there was a meeting for the Cardiothoracic surgeons in SUH, so Chen Lihua had to attend because the meeting was vital.


    During the meeting, Chen Lihua was a little absent-minded because she thinking about her son, and how he would come without her for such long hours.


    At this time she was lost in thought, the Chief called out to her, asking for her opinion, without knowing that she hasn''t been paying attention.


    At the mention of her name, Chen Lihua jerked back to reality. She smiled apologetically to the Chief as she apologized to him and her fellow doctors.


    "I''m sorry Chief, I didn''t get you..."


    "It''s alright, I understand." The Chief smiled and recapped.


    The deputy chief sneered as he muttered to the hearing of everyone in the room.


    "If you can be absent-minded in a meeting as important as this, who knows if you won''t cause a rupture when performing a surgery?."


    ''I''m indeed, back to the hospital.'' Chen Lihua thought to herself ????.


    But then, she turned to glance at the bitter-hearted man.


    "Deputy Chief, I believe you didn''t have to take things to heart since I apologized. But for a moment,  I forgot you have a small rocked heart, you don''t have feelings. But I sometimes wonder how you managed to live till this age with so much bitterness in you, you should go and rest."


    Chen Lihua smirked before turning to the Chief to say in an amicable tone, leaving the black-faced and speechless Deputy Chief.


    "Please go ahead, Chief."


    Her fellow doctors/colleagues could barely hold in their laughter. The situation was so funny.


    ''Dr. Chen is back indeed ????.''


    ''She is the perfect medicine to smash his ego ????.''


    ''The deputy Chief has a glib tongue, but Dr. Chen''s cannot be beaten ????.''


    ''The deputy Chief has indeed, met his match ????.''


    These were some of the thoughts and emotions that were going through the minds of her colleagues.


    Some of them have been oppressed by the Deputy Chief for so long, that they couldn''t wait to retaliate. But now they had a backup, of course, they would be happy.


    The Deputy Chief had a higher rank than them, so at times, they were scared to go against him. But then, they met someone who wasn''t scared of his position in the hospital, someone that could challenge him and remain unaffected, of course, they were happy! ????


    To them, this was truly,  An Unexpected Comeback.


    After the meeting, Chen Lihua took her belongings and went to the rooftop to take the helicopter ???? back home.


    When she left, the Deputy Chief started to complain about her to the Chief.


    "Did you see how rude she was? She was even asking me to go and die!. And because of her lack in manners, she didn''t even bother to mince her words." The Deputy Chief said in anger.

 Chapter 501 - Face Off

    "Did you see how rude she was? She was even asking me to go and die!. And because of her lack in manners, she didn''t even bother to mince her words." The Deputy Chief said in anger.


    "How do you expect her to mince her words when you are always after her? And you know she didn''t mean what she said. She only retaliated that way because of your statement. Just let everything slide. You are her elder." The Chief replied, unfazed by his temperament.


    "Are you supporting her?." The Deputy Chief asked with a black face.


    "I am not supporting anybody. Please get ready for the Valve surgery in 40 minutes." The Chief reminded.


    The Deputy Chief stared at him for few seconds before standing to his feet.


    "Just a kind reminder... Don''t touch Dr. Chen or offend her if you don''t want your medical license taken away." The Chief said to him before going back to the patient medical record in front of him.


    The Deputy Chief left the office angrily and went back to his own. His heart was embittered.


    For a moment, he forgot Chen Lihua''s identity. She just needed to say a word, and he would lose his job without sitting for a trial. But he refused to admit that Chen Lihua has a benevolent heart.


    When Chen Lihua got back home, she was told the little guy missed her.


    As she cuddled her little guy, she said to him with a smile on her face.


    "Looks like to restrategize. I will come to see you during my break hours."


    When Liu Longwei came back home, she told him about her new plans and he agreed.


    He would agree to anything that will suit the mother and son.


    So just like that, Chen Lihua would go home during her one-hour break section to be with her son, then she would return to the hospital, work for two hours or so, before finally going back home.


    This decision was approved by the Chief.


    ******


    During the weekend, Lady Chen went to the Family''s shopping mall to buy some baby products for her grandson.


    She needed to add something to the basket ???? of fresh fruits she had in the car. Manager Sun (the general manager of Chen Mall) was her assistant for today.


    Anytime Lady Chen came to the mall to shop, Manager Sun would always be by her side, assisting her.


    After buying some of the baby toys and items, she decided to visit the women''s wear section, so she could get something for her daughter.


    As she entered there, she gave her card to Manager Sun so he can pay for the items and send them to her car downstairs.


    Lady Chen hardly moves around with her bodyguards. Her driver, Mr. P, was enough for her. And besides, she was the owner of this place, so what could happen to her?


    Lady Chen picked a few dresses, sandals, and bags before going to pay for the items.


    On her way out of that section, another woman who seemed to be walking with her eyes on her phone, bumped into her and the items in her hands fell to the tiled floor.


    "Can you watch where you are going to?!." The woman shrieked.


    Lady Chen had already bent over to pick the items when she heard the rude tone. She frowned and looked up at the woman, totally abandoning the items.


    The two of them looked surprised to see each other.


    "Oh! It''s you?." The other woman said as she sized up Lady Chen.


    "Cassandra, it''s so unfortunate that you had to bump into me. But before you take another step, you have to pick up the items on the floor." Lady Chen said to her casually.


    "Are you Crazy?!." The woman snapped angrily as she glared at Lady Chen.


    "I''m not bothered about what you think about me, you''ve not always been normal, and I don''t expect you to apologize, because you lack manners. Just pick up the items on the floor, then you are free to continue with your shopping free. Because if you weren''t looking at your phone, you wouldn''t have bumped into me." Lady Chen said to her, unfazed by her attitude.


    "You must be joking. Do I look like a clown to you? I''m not touching any filthy thing. Since you saw I was on my phone, you could have avoided me, so what''s the meaning of all these?." Cassandra asked angrily.


    "I don''t want to waste my breath explaining things to you, just pick up the items and save our time." Lady Chen said as she crossed her arms, with her gaze fixed on her.


    "You must be out of your mind! And what if I don''t pick them up?." Cassandra asked stubbornly.


    Cassandra was a woman around Lady Chen''s age, but she was a few years older than Lady Chen. And from their conversation, we are aware they know each other but are not on good terms.


    "If you don''t pick up the items, just leave the mall directly." Lady Chen said to her.


    Cassandra hissed and took a step, intending to walk away, but Lady Chen held her arm back as she threatened in a tone that can not be refused.


    "Don''t you dare!."


    Cassandra looked a little troubled with the fierce grip, and that look on Lady Chen''s face. She had always known Lady Chen to be fierce, but this was the first time she was experiencing it.


    She didn''t want to listen to her, because that would be a slap to her face.


    "Mum?!." A familiar male voice called out in urgency.


    Lady Chen glanced at him before moving her gaze away, totally ignoring.


    Cassandra heard that family voice, but because of her position, she had to look back to the person.


    "Son, quick, come and help your mother. This woman wouldn''t let me go!." Cassandra said with hope in her eyes.


    Just now when Weiyuan called, ''Mum?'' He was referring to Lady Chen, because he had his gaze fixed on her. But his biological mother, thought otherwise since she was backing him in the first instance.


    "I left you for a few minutes, and you''ve already caused trouble." Chen Weiyuan said with a troubled look on his face.


    Both women were his mothers, and now, they were facing off. He was in a very tricky situation. Who should he support?

 Chapter 502 - She Still Loves Me

    Both women were his mothers, and now, they were facing off. He was in a very tricky situation. Who should he support?


    "I didn''t cause any trouble. She just wants to bully me." The woman sulked.


    Chen Weiyuan could see a headache coming as he glanced at the items on the floor. Meer looking at them, he could tell what happened.


    He couldn''t ask his mum (Lady Chen) about what happened, and neither can he ask her to let the matter go. He doesn''t have that right, and besides, he was scare of her.


    They were supposed to visit Chen Lihua together today, but he said he would come on his own later. Now, it turned out that he was accompanying his birth mother.


    He just didn''t know what to say or do, because he was in trouble as well.


    Looking at his birth mother, he said to her, "Don''t cause any more trouble here, and just do what Mum asked you to do!."


    "What?! Have you joined her ship? There is no way I''m picking anything here." Cassandra said stubbornly.


    Lady Chen sneered and let go of her arm. Then she turned to Weiyuan to say, "Your mother has two options. One, pick up the clothes and continue shopping in peace. Two, don''t pick up the clothes and get chased away from here."


    Chen Weiyuan looked helpless as he gazed at Lady Chen, but Lady Chen remained indifferent. Seeing that he wasn''t even soared another glance, he knew she was serious, and so decided to persuade his mother, but she remained stubborn.


    And instead of feeling sorry, she escalated the matter.


    "Son, why should apologize to her or pick up the items on the floor when there are so many workers loitering around. And besides, you are your father''s only son, and it will be a matter of time before you inherit the company, and then, this shopping mall will be..."


    She was cut short by the sound of a hand slapping against the skin so hard.


    Lady Chen was so angry that she raised her hand to slap her, but Chen Weiyuan took the hit.


    He noticed that his mother was about to get slapped for crossing the line, but he decided to take the hit.


    Cassandra was so shocked that she had her mouth agape, with her hands over them. Her brain was still trying to boot.


    Lady Chen was also surprised because she wasn''t expecting him to take the hit. But she managed to hide her worried, hurt and disappointed look.


    But no matter how fast she was, Chen Weiyuan still saw the emotions that remained in her eyes. He smiled in his heart... ''She still loves me.


    Just then, Manager Sun came back to see the mess on the floor, so he signaled the two workers behind him, to pick the items up.


    "Manager Sun, throw this woman out of this place and make sure she is blacklisted. I don''t want to hear that she stepped her feet into this Mall again. And if she proves stubborn, you are free to get the guards to drag her out, or you can call the police and lay a complaint."


    After giving out her instructions, Lady Chen walked away with the two store workers behind her.


    "Son, are you okay?." Cassandra asked as she stretched her hand towards his face, but Chen Weiyuan hit them away in anger.


    "Don''t touch me, I don''t need your sympathy! Do you care about me?! Mother, please go back to Australia!."


    "You... You are sending me away?." Cassandra asked in shock.


    "Yes! And please don''t come back again if you''re going to cause trouble. Go back to Australia to meet your boyfriend. I think he is better at tolerating your troublesome attitude than me." Chen Weiyuan said before starting to work away.


    "So you don''t care about your mother, but that arrogant woman?." Cassandra shouted.


    "I''m booking a flight for you. I will send the details to you in some minutes. I don''t want to see you." Chen Weiyuan said as he finally worked away, leaving his angry mother behind.


    Manager Sun was still standing by the side. And seeing that she wasn''t ready to leave on her own after being abandoned, he showed her the way.


    Cassandra rolled her eyes ???? before walking away in a huff.


    As Chen Weiyuan took the elevator to the underground parking lot, he dialed Lady Chen''s number, but after several rings, she didn''t answer it. He just knew that she was still angry with him.


    He just needed to find her quickly before she left the premises. And luckily for him, he saw her getting into her car when he got to the underground parking lot.


    So he screamed, ''Mum!.'' Lady Chen turned to glance at him, before turning away, totally ignoring him.


    Seeing that she had entered her car, Chen Weiyuan chased after her. But when he got to the car, the car doesn''t was locked, and no matter what he said, Lady Chen refused to react.


    "Mr. P, what are you waiting for?!." Lady Chen asked her driver in annoyance.


    Mr. P shuddered as he ignited the car. He moved but suddenly braked. If not for the seat belt that secured her, she would have hit her face on the car window.


    "Do you need me to...!." Lady Chen trailed off when she saw the culprit standing in front of the car, preventing them from driving off.


    "Lady, the young master is standing in front of the car, so I cannot move the car ". The driver said announced.


    Lady Chen sneered as she spat, "Then, run him over!."


    The driver looked shocked.


    "What are you waiting for, or do you need me to teach you your job?." Lady Chen asked.


    "Mum, let me in!." Chen Weiyuan pleaded as he remained standing in place.


    The driver ignited the car once again. At first, Chen Weiyuan thought he wanted to drive backward, but he was wrong, he wanted to run him over, so he moved out of the way in fright.

 Chapter 504 - Naughty Taio

    Although it''s been several weeks since Aunt Lin came back, she hasn''t stepped out of the outside world, because she was very sick.


    I know it''s surprising to hear that, but Aunt Lin is still sick. She had different sections of Chemo, but it only helped to extend her life span for a few years.


    A test was done on her few months after she started her Chemo, and it was discovered that she had already entered the last stage of Cancer.


    But Aunt Lin chose to continue with the treatment with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She finally gave up when she noticed that her situation wasn''t changing, so she gave up treatment, and decided to come back home.


    HuiQing was heartbroken, but he knew he had to be strong for her. He needed to be by her side to continue supporting her.


    After celebrating her return that period, Aunt Lin broke the news to them. It was kind of hard for everybody to take the news because they were not thinking of the worst outcome for her situation.


    But now, it had dawned on them that they were going to lose her, soon. So they just made up their mind in preparation for the worst.


    Aunt Lin was looking so Lin, and she always had something to cover her head with, because her hair was long gone before she started the Chemotherapy.


    Now if she wanted to go out, which she rarely did, she had to wear a wig. Sometimes, she would stare at herself in the mirror and then sigh.


    Sometimes, she would cry when she saw her old pictures. She was looking so different now, from what she used to look like before.


    After crying, she would wipe her tears and smile at herself in the mirror.


    On two occasions, HuiQing had caught her crying, but he pretended not to have seen it because he didn''t want her to feel bad.


    He even suggested to her about them getting married, but she refused. Instead, she replied to him with...


    "When I die, find someone to marry. Marry a woman that would love you and is willing to take care of you when you get old. Don''t worry about Changying, she is an a.d.u.l.t now, and wouldn''t need a stepmother."


    He refuted her words each time she responded that way whenever he brought the topic up.


    At some point, he had to drop the topic, because he didn''t want to be disheartened.


    Because of her condition, she really couldn''t do any strenuous work, and she got very tired easily, plus the torture she had to go through.


    Sometimes, she would lie in bed all day. She could feel that her time was fast approaching.


    And because she knew she would die soon, she hurried Changying to get married soon, so she could at least attend her wedding.


    Changying was heartbroken just by thinking about her mother''s passing. She didn''t know if she could take it, but the best she could do was to fulfill her mother''s dying wish.


    Changying''s boyfriend was aware of the matter on the ground, so he complied with his future mother-in-law.


    He and Changying discussed and fixed the date for their engagement. It was a small party for only closely related family and friends.


    Chen Lihua and her other cousins were a great help to Changying in preparation for her engagement.


    In fact, Chen Lihua frequented her Aunt Lin''s house since she came back, just like today.


    She came with her son who was almost a year old, and he the handsome vibrant little boy was playing with Aunt Lin.


    He made his baby noise as he passed his toy to his Aunt.


    "Thank you!." Aunt Lin smiled as she took the toy from him. She was having a nice time with the little guy, that was sitting beside her.


    Liu Wei Taio could sit on his own, he could crawl, and even stand for few seconds without any support.


    But once he held unto a table, a chair, or anything for support, he would take steps ???? on his own.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei we''re happy with his fast development.


    Taio had four tooths already. Two up, and two down. And he could call, Mum and Dad but in a babyish way.


    Outsiders may not be able to guess what he was saying, but Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei could, because they were the closest to him, and they taught him those two words.


    As Aunt Lin and the chubby Taio played together, Chen Lihua and Changying watched from the side.


    Chen Lihua also recorded their moment together, in pictures and some short video clips.


    When she noticed that Aunt Lin was getting tired, she called her little son to her side.


    "Taio, come to Mummy." After beckoning on him to come to her side with a smile on her face, the little guy smiled as he covered his face with his palms in a mischievous way.


    Seeing his cute actions, the three women laughed heartily. But then, Aunt Lin started to cough, and this time around, her white handkerchief turned red on that spot she used.


    Chen Lihua and Changying''s faces changed as they glanced at each other. But their facial expressions went back to normal.


    Taio glanced at the handkerchief in Aunt Lin''s hand, and his eyes sparkled in excitement. Next, he held Aunt Lin for support, before standing on his own.


    Aunt Lin was shocked by his actions. But before he could stretch his little arms and snatch the handkerchief from her, Chen Lihua walked over and carried him away.


    "Taio, you are starting to become very naughty." Chen Lihua chided him softly, as she sat him on the couch, in between her and her cousin Changying.


    "I love him that way!." Changying said as she chuckled softly. Then, she stretched her fingers to the little guy''s cheeks to pinch them softly.


    "Are you still b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding him?." Aunt Lin asked from the side, as she gazed at them with a soft countenance.


    Chen Lihua smiled when she heard that question. She gazed at the little guy with a doting smile on her face, before replying, "Yes, he still doesn''t want to let go."

 Chapter 505 - The Chen Family Mourns

    Few Weeks after her engagement, Changying got married to her Fiance. Their wedding was a low-key type of Wedding, because of Aunt Lin''s health.


    Before her marriage, Changying didn''t want to celebrate her wedding. She just wanted to register her marriage with her Fiance and the rest.


    But Aunt Lin insisted that they hold a Wedding, and because Changying would do anything to fulfill her mother''s wish at this time, so she agreed.


    The Wedding was successful and all close family members and friends attended the wedding in their numbers.


    After her Wedding, Changying canceled her honeymoon because she could feel her mother was slowly letting go of her hand. Her husband didn''t have any problems with it.


    Because he would do anything to make his wife happy, and he very understood the situation.


    But someone else did not think their decision was right.


    "I have your father to take care of me, so go ahead spend some time with your husband. You just got married newly, this step is wrong. If need anything, your father will get it for me, so set your heart at ease." Aunt Lin said to her.


    Chen Lihua also spoke to her and gave her some advice.


    "Just go ahead and spend some time with your husband, you two just got married, and this is an important aspect of your relationship. If you don''t go for your honeymoon, you will regret it in the future."


    What this means is that she should go for the honeymoon, because if she remains by her mother''s side, she will still die. After all, she was close to death''s door. When her mother dies, it will take some months to mourn her and recover from the shock.


    But by the time she gets herself back, she will discover that she would not be relating to her husband like the way they are supposed to be.


    They have indeed been dating for several months plus the long-distance relationship, but still, they need that alone time after their Wedding as Husband and Wife.


    After considering all of these, Changying traveled for her honeymoon.


    But something happened suddenly that caused her to return after a week. Chen Lihua called her and asked her to come home.


    She put it this way, "Your Mum wants to see you."


    There was a hidden message behind that sentence, and Changying understood it. She teared up immediately at the news.


    There was what seemed like a minute silence before Chen Lihua broke it.


    "Changying, I''m sorry for ruining your honeymoon. You have to be Strong, and Aunt needs you to be. Your Father needs your help with something, when you get back home, we will talk about it."


    The next day, Changying flew back home with her husband.


    When they got to the house, her mother was bedridden with pipes connected to some parts of her body. This time around, she was breathing through an oxygen mask.


    Her situation has worsened, and she was almost at her wit''s end!


    Aunt Lin forced a smile and removed her oxygen mask as she slowly said to her daughter when she stepped into her bedroom.


    "Ying, you''re back?."


    Changying fought hard to hold in her tears, but she couldn''t. She just let the tears flow from her eyes as she walked to her mother''s side.


    "Mmm, I''m back." She replied admits the tears that clouded her vision.


    Her husband walked in at this time. He greeted his mother-in-law and only engaged in a one-minute conversation with her, before leaving the mother and daughter to themselves.


    Aunt Lin took some time to catch her breath, before speaking up slowly.


    "Ying, don''t cry, everything will be alright."


    "Yes, I know that everything will be alright,"  Changying replied in-between sobs.


    That same day, Chen Lihua and her female cousins came to visit Changying and Aunt Lin.


    This time, Aunt Ling needed company. She needed her family around in her last days.


    The doctor gave Aunt Ling a few months to live so that''s the reason she hurried her daughter to hold a wedding as quickly as possible.


    She wanted to watch her daughter get married before her condition becomes worst, and it turns out that she was right on track.


    Knowing fully well, about her condition, Aunt Lin sent her daughter away to enjoy her honeymoon with her husband.


    A month later, tragedy struck the Chen Family.


    Aunt Lin gave up the ghost just a few hours after signing the marriage certificate with HuiQing.


    But before then, HuiQing kept begging for them to get married, but she refused. So he had to involve the family, and after much deliberation, she accepted his ring.


    What touched her, and one of the reasons she agreed to get married to him on her deathbed, was because he made a statement.


    "The greatest mistake I made was to allow you leave with my child in our youth. Now my greatest aspiration is for us to be husband and wife. If you leave me without granting this wish, I will live with regrets that I can not bear, so I will have to join you."


    His words touched her, and she had to accept his ring at the dying moment.


    "But I still feel that this is a waste." Aunt Lin said as she gazed at her finger where he slipped the ring onto.


    "Nothing I do for us is a waste," HuiQing said as he kissed the back of her palms.


    During the hour of her death, her close family members were in the room with her because they got wind of the news that she was leaving soon, so they all came to see her, excluding her parents who were not away from this ugly situation.


    "I want to thank all of you for putting up with me all my life. In my next life, I will still choose you as my Family. Please, do me a favor and look after Changying and HuiQing. I miss you all." Aunt Lin said all these without her oxygen mask as she struggled to breathe.


    When they tried putting the mask back on her nose she refused them with the sentence, "When it''s my time, I will go. Allow me to say my last words to you."


    After speaking to them, the Chen Family left the bedroom for her, so she could have a little privacy with her husband, her daughter, and her husband.


    So they waited in the living room till HuiQing came out minutes later to announce her passing...

 Chapter 506 - Trouble Causing Woman

    It''s been weeks since Aunt Lin was laid to rest, and the family was gradually getting used to not seeing her existence anymore.


    Changying has taken over her mother''s chains of stores, but she still misses her daily.


    She pities her father because he is now lonely with no one beside him. She is married and has to live with her husband.


    And because she married a considerate man, he relocated to B city, so she could go to see her father often, and also with the reason that she doesn''t stay away from the place she had best memories with deceased mother.


    Everything was slowly falling back to track.


    The Chen family received condolence from friends, business partners, and relations around the world.


    The period of Aunt Lin''s passing and the funeral was a tough time for them, but they came through.


    When a woman somewhere saw the news of Aunt Lin''s death, she became happy and thought she had gotten an opportunity to go back to HuiQing, but it turns out she was thinking too much.


    HuiQing''s ex-wife came looking for him when she heard of Aunt Lin''s passing. She saw that as an opportunity to get back together with him, but she ended up being locked up in the police station.


    She saw Huiqing''s car coincidentally when she came to Beijing to look for him, and she was grateful that her prayers were being answered without much effort because she has been looking for a way to find him.


    She walked towards the car, but nobody was inside, so she decided to stand and wait there for him.


    His car was parked in front of a high-end store, but she didn''t take note of that.


    She was looking haggard now because she was suffering. She had to work in a factory just to put food on the table for her and her children, but it wasn''t enough.


    The last money she had in hand, she used for her trip to Beijing, in hope that her ex-husband would take her in.


    When she saw HuiQing walk out from the store with a younger lady beside him, she had a smile on her face until she saw them hug each other.


    "Bye, Dad..." Changying said after she separated from her father.


    HuiQing waved at her, and stood there till she walked back into the store, then he turned to leave.


    Walking towards his car, he saw a woman standing there, and his face immediately turned into a big frown.


    Seeing that he was walking in her direction, a fake smile immediately returned to her face.


    She had a goal in mind, so she needed to focus.


    Before she could even flaunt her signature smile, HuiQing was already raising his voice at her.


    "What are you doing here?!."


    The woman flinched because she didn''t expect him to react that way. He looked angry and ready to beat her up. But she still smiled anyway...


    "I came looking for you." She said in a disgusting sweet tone.


    "Do we have any business together?." HuiQing asked angrily.


    "I heard about the death of your ex, so I came personally to send condolences to you. I know you are still going through the process of recovering, and you need someone to comfort you, so I made myself available, with the thoughts that you will need me, in mind." The woman replied.


    "You''re so full of yourself. This should be the last time you will ever call my wife''s name from the filthy mouth of yours. If I see you around me, or anyone close to me, then I will have you locked up. Now move away!!!" HuiQing threatened.


    The woman hurriedly moved away from his way and watched him get into his car.


    "Your wife just died, and you''re already playing around with young women. I''m sure your late wife must be disappointed wherever she is." The woman said in mockery as she placed her hands on the car window.


    HuiQing heard what she said, so he glared at her before stepping on the speed pedal and driving off.


    The woman lost her balance and it took her a lot of effort to steady herself. She cursed him, glared at the store he walked out from, before walking away in a huff.


    What got her arrested, was that she came into the store to look for trouble the next day. Changying couldn''t take someone barging into her store and raining curses on her, after pulling down a stack of the clothing line. She immediately had her taken away by the police.


    HuiQing learned of the news, so he came to the store to check on his daughter. Seeing that she was fine, he was sorry and explained things to her.


    Changying understood, and so didn''t hold anything against her father.


    After consoling his daughter, he made a trip to the police station to sue that trouble-making woman.


    She was only allowed to leave the police station after compensating for the damages she caused in the store, and for the mental stress and abuse. If she didn''t pay up, she would have to serve a few years of jail terms.


    But where would that broke-ass woman get that kind of money from? Well, her fate was left in her hands.


    Two months later, Liu Huiling decided to relocate to Australia with her children. A branch of Liu Group was launched there, so Liu Longwei made her a manager since she wanted to relocate, as she wanted to move to a new environment.


    Her family didn''t want her to move to a far place where their eyes couldn''t watch over her, but she insisted, so they had to allow her.


    Lou Huiling felt that living in her married brother''s house, was not a good thing, even though, Chen Lihua didn''t see any problem with that.


    She just knew she had to leave, and so, she made a decision and discussed it with her brother.


    In a week, Liu Huiling would be leaving with her two daughters to Australia, so she was using this period to gather things, and having fun with her family.

 Chapter 507 - Troublesome Taio

    "Taio, what have you done?!." Chen Lihua asked in alarm when she saw the red map on her bed as she stared between her stained white sheets and the little guy standing beside her bed with a red Lipstick ???? in his hand.


    The little guy looked confused at his mother''s look of alarm. He glanced at his work, the red lipstick in his hand, before looking back at his mother.


    Next, he stretched forth his hands towards her, in a bid to hand the lipstick to her.


    Chen Lihua looked so annoyed as she glared at him.


    "You... You... Do you want me to spank your ass? The other day, it was an important doc.u.ment you scribbled with a crayon. Now today, you decided to paint ???? my white bedsheets. Give me that?!." Chen Lihua demanded as she approached him and snatched the lipstick from his hold.


    Staring at her lipstick, she discovered that it was already ruined. This was her most expensive lipstick, but her little guy turned it into a crayon ?????.


    Discovering she could no longer use the lipstick, she glared at him, and the little guy looked away in guilt.


    "I warned you about scribbling on any other thing apart from  your  book, but you just wouldn''t listen." Chen Lihua said, emphasizing the, ''you.


    "I think I would have to ban you from entering my bedroom, but who knows if you would listen to me." Chen Lihua said as she pointed at him.


    Taio remained quiet, refusing to utter any word. He thought his mother looked very scary at this point, so he was afraid to say a word to her.


    "Why are you not saying anything?. I''m so sending you to your father." Chen Lihua said as she took his hands and walked out of her bedroom.


    Immediately, she sent him to the study.


    Chen Lihua pushed the door open, gently pushed the little guy inside before shutting the door. And in all of this process, she didn''t reveal her face to Liu Longwei who seemed very busy.


    "Who let you in?." Liu Longwei asked as he glanced at the little figure that had a wronged look on his face.


    "Mum." Liu Wei replied in a soft baby tone.


    "What did you do this time around?." Liu Longwei asked with a look of amazement on his face.


    He just knew the little guy would have done something to annoy his mother, because, on a normal, Chen Lihua wouldn''t send the little guy to him, especially when he was in the study.


    She could have sent him to his Nanny or made him go to sleep or do some other activities instead, but he could guess she sent the guy to him because she wanted him disciplined.


    "I scribbled on her sheets?." Liu Wei revealed with a guilty look on his small handsome face.


    "Again?." Liu Longwei asked tiredly. He sighed before instructing...


    "Go and sit over there and reflect on what you did wrong."


    Little Taio obeyed his father''s instructions and went to sit on the couch.


    Liu Longwei gazed at him for a while before sighing... Then he relayed an instruction to the kitchen through the intercom.


    "Get a cup of almond milkshake and a cupcake for Liu Wei."


    When Liu Longwei heard his father''s words, he was secretly happy, so he glanced towards his direction, and their eyes met.


    The little guy immediately looked away and feigned innocence.


    Liu Longwei looked away as well and continued with his work.


    Fifteen minutes later, Taio''s order came in, and he thanked his Dad before he began to eat happily.


    He looked funny with his stuffed-up cheeks.


    "Don''t eat in a hurry, and don''t miss that place up." Liu Longwei instructed him.


    ''This little guy was too obedient today, who knows what''s going on in the little mind of his.'' Liu Longwei thought.


    Liu Wei Taio is two (2) years old, but do not be deceived by the treatment he is given by his mother and father, and think that he is too young for that. That little guy is too mature for his age.


    He is naughty and mischievous.


    After Chen Lihua changed her bedsheets, she felt better. She checked the time on the table clock, she still had ten minutes left before the very important online meeting we had.


    So, she used the little time she had to take care of her hair and looks. She would have gone to the study since it was more appropriate, but she didn''t want to see that little guy that derived joy from making her angry daily.


    When the time reached for her meeting, she got into position...


    Taio is two years old, but he was already being homeschooled. He was too smart for his age, so Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei decided to get him a baby tutor.


    Right now, he knew his numbers from 1 - 100, he could recite them. He knew the colors and names of some objects. He could make short sentences.


    Chen Lihua was protective of him and still couldn''t trust that he would be fine out there by himself, so she chose to have him homeschooled.


    Since Taio was born, Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei, and the rest of them chose to remain silent over his birth. But recently, Chen Lihua was planning to reveal to the world, that she was already a proud mother of two.


    She has done good work by keeping her pregnancy and the birth of her son for almost three years now. She really could curb those strong desires.


    Chen Lihua''s Indian friend, Krishi Sighn, would be getting married to her heartthrob next month, and Chen Lihua needed to go for the wedding, and she chose to drag Liu Longwei with her. Then when she comes back from the wedding, she will make her decision about that...


    As for her son, she was still contemplating on taking him along to India ????????. That little guy of hers was troublesome, and she wouldn''t want any distractions during the wedding.


    Maybe she will take him along, but just leave him at their hotel room, with his Nanny.

 Chapter 508 - In India For A Wedding

    Today, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were supposed to leave for India, but they decided to leave in the evening because Chen Lihua was caught up with work.


    When the time for their travel reached, trust Chen Lihua not to miss the opportunity of wearing the Indian attire. She even dressed up the little guy in one. But as for the big guy, he refused to join their clique.


    "Taio doesn''t run ???? around, you will fall." Chen Lihua called out to the little guy running around in her bedroom.


    Liu Wei was looking like a little Indian Prince. He looked so cute in that outfit as he played around.


    Hearing his mother call out to him, he stopped in his steps and smiled mischievously as he gazed at her.


    Chen Lihua sighed before looking away as she continued to gather some other things.


    "Mum, am I going to see lots of elephants ???? in India?." Liu Wei asked, curious of that fact...


    "Yes dear, you''re going to see lots of them. Maybe your Dad and I will take you to a festival so you can see the elephants." Chen Lihua said as she zipped her bag.


    "No, I''m going to see them at Aunt Krishi''s wedding." Liu Wei said to her.


    "No, I''m not taking you to the Wedding, nobody knows about you, and the celebration is going to be a little rowdy, you''re still a child." Chen Lihua said to him in a kind tone.


    "Mum, but I want to go with you and Dad. I don''t want to be by myself, I want to have fun with you." Liu Wei said in a sad tone as he hugged her legs ????.


    Chen Lihua sighed before scooting down to his height.


    "Taio, I''m doing all these for your benefit. But if you insist to come along, your Dad and I will arrange for it, okay?." Chen Lihua assured him as she rubbed his soft black hair.


    Liu Wei left her side immediately as he touched his hair with a big frown on his face.


    "What''s wrong?." Chen Lihua asked in confusion as she gazed at the unhappy little guy.


    "Mum, Dad took his time to style my hair, but you just ruined it." Liu Wei complained.


    "Oh! I''m sorry. Come let me comb it." Chen Lihua said as she beckoned on him, but the little guy took few steps away from her.


    "No, I will meet Dad for it." And with that, he walked towards the door to Chen Lihua''s amazement.


    ''Am I that terrible with styling his hair?.'' She thought to herself.


    When Liu Wei got to the door, he couldn''t open it by himself because his arm was too short to reach the door handle.


    He stood there for some seconds as he helplessly stared at the door handle. Knowing fully well that he couldn''t open the door by himself, he fiddled with his fingers before looking up at his mother who was staring at him.


    "Mum, can you open the door for me?." Liu Wei asked in a soft tone.


    Chen Lihua narrowed her eyes at him, as she patiently waited to hear a word from him.


    "Please?." Liu Wei added...


    "Fine!." Chen Lihua said before walking over to open the door for him.


    The little guy slipped away. Now outside of her bedroom, he smiled at her before skipping away happily.


    "Is the boy 2 years old?." Chen Lihua asked herself before going back to gathering some other important things.


    "Dad?." Liu Wei called out as he knocked softly on the door to his father''s bedroom.


    Liu Longwei was already dressed in a black suit with wine red tie. And he was on the phone when Liu Wei knocked on the door.


    The knock was so soft that he could barely hear it. But who would knock on his door like that if not his little rascal?.


    Liu Longwei walked towards the door and opened it for the little guy. He looked surprised to his hair in a mess.


    He just closed the door after he walked into his room, before pointing at a small seat of his size, to sit on. Then he continued with the call.


    Liu Wei obediently sat on his seat which his father put in his bedroom, just for his use.


    After the call, Liu Longwei came to his side and asked...


    "Do you have noodle arms? Why are your hands so soft, don''t you know that you are a little man already? I could barely even hear your knocks." Liu Longwei asked with a frown on his face as he stared hard at the little guy.


    "Dad, I was only scared of disturbing you." Liu Wei replied as he met his father''s gaze.


    "What happened to your hair?." Liu Longwei asked.


    At this point, Liu Wei had to sigh tiredly...


    "It''s Mum, she ruffled my hair." Liu Wei reported.


    "Come here let''s fix it." Liu Longwei said as he took his hand and walked into his walk-in closet.


    After fixing the little guy''s hair, he took him to meet his mother, as they were set to embark on the journey.


    India ???????? was quite some distance from China. But they didn''t have to bother about it, because they had their private Jet.


    When they arrived in Mumbai, they were welcomed by Krishi and some of her sisters (blood sister and cousins).


    "Wow! Wow! What is our Bride doing here?." Chen Lihua asked when she stepped out of the jet.


    "Well! Well! See who we have here." Kristin said as she gave her a hug with a smile on her face.


    As she exchanged pleasantries with Krishi and her Sisters who came to welcome her, Liu Longwei came down the stairs with Liu Wei in his arms.


    Seeing her husband by her side, there was a proud smile on her face as she introduced him to Krishi and her Sisters.


    "Meet my husband, Liu Longwei, and our son, Liu Wei."


    "Hello, Mr. Liu." Krishi greeted as she stretched her hand for a firm handshake.


    Liu Longwei reciprocated with the little guy in his arms.


    "Namaste ???? Aunt Krishi!." Liu Wei greeted with his palms clapped together.


    "Namaste ????." Krishi greeted him back with a beautiful smile on her face.


    She was surprised that the little guy greeted her in her culture.

 Chapter 509 - Making Love Under The Moonlight

    "Namaste ????." Krishi greeted him back with a beautiful smile on her face.


    She was surprised that the little guy greeted her in her culture.


    "Who thought you that?." Krishi Sighn asked the little guy.


    "Mum." Liu Wei replied as he pointed at his mother.


    "Alright, let''s leave. You still have the Henna ceremony." Chen Lihua reminded her.


    Chen Lihua got into the same car as her husband and son.


    In a convoy, they arrived at the Krishi''s house, where everyone was waiting for them.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were welcomed in the Indian traditional custom, and she loved it.


    She bent down to touch Krishi''s mother''s feet before placing the same hand on her chest.


    "Bless you, my child." Krishi''s mother said before welcoming them inside their mansion, where so other activities were ongoing.


    After they were welcomed inside, Chen Lihua ran over to hug Krishi.


    "Thank you, so much! I have always wanted to be welcomed like this."


    "What is there to thank me for? It was just fulfilling one wish from your bucket list." Krishi said to her as she hugged her back.


    "Now come, let me introduce you and your husband to some of my close relatives," Krishi said as she pulled her over.


    Liu Longwei walked behind them with Liu Wei in his arms, as the little guy''s nanny followed after.


    Chen Lihua had a smile on her face as she conversed with Krishi''s family, but she didn''t leave her husband out, she involved him.


    After conversing with them, Krishi''s mother served than some sweets, and each a cup of sweet tea.


    Chen Lihua enjoyed this welcome. She fed her son by herself and allowed his Nanny to enjoy the sweets.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t help taking selfies and portraits of this joyful event.


    After enjoying the snacks, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were shown to the room they would stay till after the wedding.


    So this means they didn''t need to lodge in the hotel. And this arrangement was made because Chen Lihua wanted to partake in the activities. And going back and forth from the hotel might be a hassle.


    After resting in their bedrooms, it was time for the henna ceremony, and Chen Lihua wouldn''t want to miss it.


    She joined the entertainers and other family members to dance. Then later, she got henna some on her hands, and her feet, just like her friend, the bride.


    Chen Lihua had a lot of fun during the henna ceremony, and Liu Longwei had someone record the event.


    As men were not allowed, Liu Longwei had to stand and watch from the other side.


    This was a mehndi ceremony attended only by the female family members and close friends of the bride, so men were not allowed.


    After the event, Liu Wei got to meet his mother again. He kept complaining that he missed her.


    "Oh! My baby, I missed you too." Chen Lihua said as she kissed his pouted cheeks.


    "I''m glad you had fun today." Liu Longwei said to her as he joined them on the bed.


    "Thank you! I wish to have this kind of fun soon. I love Indian Traditional Weddings." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "I know. You must be so tired. Tomorrow is the Wedding, and there would be lots of activities which would have to start in the early morning. And as the bride''s friend, you need to join in. So, rest early. Freshen up and go to bed." Liu Longwei said to her as he took Liu Wei from his arms.


    Liu Wei was stubborn and didn''t want to let go of his mother, but Chen Lihua promised she would be back, as she wanted to take her bath.


    "Don''t cry, your mother will be back shortly." Liu Longwei said to the little guy who was about to start crying.


    Liu Wei calmed down as he sniffed.


    Chen Lihua didn''t take time in the bathroom. She changed into a thin nightdress before joining the father and son in the bedroom.


    Seeing that his mother was back, the little guy rejoiced and hugged her, leaving his father''s side.


    "Mummy''s boy." Chen Lihua said as he patted the little guy''s bum.


    Liu Longwei sighed as he watched the mother and son hug each other. He needed some warmth too...


    Later when their son had fallen asleep, Liu Longwei took him to his Nanny, who was in the room next door, as he needed alone time with his wife.


    He hugged Chen Lihua who was still wide awake.


    "I missed you today." Chen Lihua said as his hands wrapped around her.


    "Sleep." Liu Longwei said to her as he nuzzled her neck.


    "I don''t want to sleep now, let''s do something else." Chen Lihua suggested as she turned over to face him.


    They two stared at each other for some seconds, before Liu Longwei gave in.


    He kissed her forehead, nose, cheeks, and her lips before moving to her neck.


    Next, his hand went into her dress...


    This young couple made love in the presence of the moon. Their love and passion made the moon shy.


    The next day, Chen Lihua woke up early and dressed up for the ceremony, while Liu Longwei, their son, and the Nanny joined the celebration later.


    Chen Lihua made all of them join her in wearing the traditional Indian dress. And this time around, Liu Longwei could not say ''No'' to her.


    Chen Lihua dressed up like a young married Indian woman. Even hairstyle portrayed that fact.


    Liu Longwei and the others joined in just before the groom was welcomed.


    The celebration was huge and brought prominent people to it.


    Chen Lihua met a few of her friends who knew Krishi as well. Their plane landed at night when some people were already asleep.


    And trust Chen Lihua not to fail in introducing her husband and son. She was very proud of them.


    The Wedding ceremony went on for hours and ended when the bride had to say goodbye to her family.

 Chapter 510 - THE END!!!

    After the successful Wedding Celebration, Chen Lihua traveled back to China with her husband and son.


    Now back to City B, Chen Lihua uploaded the photos from the wedding, and from those photos, she revealed that she already had a son with Liu Longwei, and this news caused waves from the public.


    Most of them were in doubt, as they wondered how possible it was for Chen Lihua to already have a child of that age, and they never found out when she was pregnant.


    Some of them said that she couldn''t give birth, so she adopted a child.


    While others dared her to reveal her son''s face.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she went through all the trolls. Finally, she decided to make a public statement.


    First of all, she posted two pictures of her, taken when she was pregnant to prove that she was pregnant. Then next to the pictures, she made a short statement.


    "It''s not in my nature to deceive. I kept my pregnancy a secret because I wanted it that way. And the reason I''m not going to reveal my son''s face, it''s because I want him hidden away from the public. When he grows up, it will be his choice to step into the limelight."


    Chen Lihua was unapologetic. She has given a public statement, so whatever anyone was saying, was not her business.


    The Chen and the Liu family all supported her. Liu Longwei also made a statement.


    Many interview requests were sent to the couple, and they finally decided to pick one.


    Their acceptance brought gladness of heart to the netizens. They were all happy and couldn''t wait to hear the beautiful story of one power couple in the World.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went to the show without their son. They shared their beautiful story from day one till the current day.


    And Liu Longwei made it a point that Marriage was not a bed of roses ????, but you could make sure that way.


    When he was asked what had made their marriage last so far, he replied.


    "Don''t think that Lihua and I haven''t had our share of misunderstandings. We have, and will continue to. But it takes Love, maturity, patience, and understanding to get through all of these. As for me, I don''t like arguments, and I learned early not to argue with a woman." Liu Longwei said the last statement and everyone present laughed over it, including the host.


    "Hahhaha... Mr. Liu, it looks like you''ve had your share of experiences, can you share them with us?." The host asked.


    When she asked that question, everybody present and watching the live footage, all cheered on because they would like to get an answer to that question.


    "Of course I can, but with the permission from my life." Liu Longwei said as he gazed into Chen Lihua''s eyes.


    There was an uproar from the people present, so they cheered on as they all waited for Chen Lihua''s response.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly, before replying in a soft tone, "Go ahead."


    Her positive reply, caused more cheers from the people, so the host had to calm them down, so Liu Longwei could go ahead and tell them one of his experiences.


    "There was a time, she asked me questions about my ex. I was only trying to make myself clear instead of rendering an apology which could have settled the matter, but it didn''t go down well with her. So she took us on a drive, and she scared the hell out of me with incredible speed. I almost passed out." Liu Longwei said as he chuckled thereafter.


    There were claps and cheers from the people. Even Chen Lihua couldn''t help laughing.


    Liu Longwei glanced at Chen Lihua and gently squeezed her palm before he continued.


    "So, never argue with a woman. Whether you are right or wrong, just apologize. If your wife is jealous because of another woman, that means she loves you so much, and then you have assured her that she is the one and only, through your words and actions."


    "Wow! Thank you Mr. Liu for that advice." The host said as she clapped her hands with a smile on her face.


    "With what you''ve said, that means Mrs. Liu is very good at driving?." The host asked.


    "My wife is good at driving than I, so she has a lot of experience with cars and being on the road. She likes to drive herself, while I like to be chauffeured." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Mrs. Liu, what advice do you have to give to other young wives out there?." The host asked as the noise quietened down.


    "Love and respect your husband. Men love it when their women respect them. Sometimes when I''m angry,  I tend to ignore everyone around me including him. Whenever he sees I''m angry at him or something else, he''s always calm when he comes to my side. Then he looks at me with that gaze that professes his love for me, and  I suddenly feel better." Chen Lihua revealed.


    There was another round of cheers and applauds from the crowd.


    "My husband doesn''t leave me angry, and that is where communication comes in, it is very important in any relationship. And we don''t sleep angry with each other. When I anger him, I know, and I set my pride aside and come back later to apologize. When he annoys me, he apologizes immediately, and even chases after me when I ignore him."


    After Chen Lihua revealed all of these, there were more cheers and uproar from the people around, including the host.


    Even the netizens watching the live news were amazed and happy with the kind of relationship the young couple had.


    They also cheered on from their homes and offices. They were very happy and proud of their Super Power Couple.


    After making a few talks and wonderful revelations, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were asked if they had anything to say to a family member at home, and they gave a positive response.


    "Our son!." They announced in unison.


    "What would you like to tell him?." The host asked in curiosity.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei glanced at each other with smiles on their face, before they spoke at the same time.


    "Taio, you are going to have a younger sibling soon!!!."


    This was the greatest news Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei shocked everybody with, including their family members.


    But at the end of the day, everybody celebrated them and wished them more happiness in their marriage.


    ***********************************


    Do you remember Liu Longwei''s ex? When she saw the live broadcast, she was so pissed off that she scheduled to travel to Country C the next day to carry out her evil plans, but her journey was cut short because she died in a jet crash.


    It turned out that her husband knew she was still in love with Liu Longwei through the mole in her team, and that she also took pills so she wouldn''t have any children from him, so he decided to end her existence.


    And that trip back to Country C was the perfect opportunity to kill her and not arouse any suspicion.


    So, that was how the evil woman''s life was cut short.


    *******************


    Months later, Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei could be seen with their protruding stomachs. They were both pregnant, but it can be seen from the size of their stomach, that Liu Dongmei would give birth before Chen Lihua.


    Both women looked beautiful and radiant as they took a walk at the seaside.


    The Chen and Liu Families decided to spend the vacation together this year, so everybody was at the beach.


    Lady Chen and Chen K were sitting together with Madam Liu and Liu Huang.


    Chynna could be seen together with Chen Weiyuan as they splashed each other some water, and a wedding ring could be seen on her finger... They were a couple.


    Liu Wei could be seen playing with his cousins from his maternal and paternal side, and he was a good friend of Changying''s son.


    Liu Huiling sat with Old Lady Chen, Old Man Chen, and her grandmother, Old Madam Liu, and watched the others have fun.


    Both families had fun together, as this was the first time they came together like this, to have fun.


    Later, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua could be seen in each other''s embrace.


    It was dark, but the moonlight illuminated their figures.


    "I love you, forever." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her forehead.


    "I love you, too." Chen Lihua said as they exchanged a very deep kiss.


    The kiss was filled with their Love and passion for each other.


    After the Kiss, Chen Lihua leaned in his embrace as they gazed at the moon with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces...


    THE END!!!

 Chapter 511 - FlashBack: I Want My Mummy

    (NB: Please read the last chapter for reference to this one. This chapter continues immediately after Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s interview. It had the title ''flash back'' because the upcoming chapters, will tell what happened, before the second and last part of Chapter 510. I am truly sorry for the troubles, please ???? bear with me).


    "Taio, you are going to have a younger sibling soon!!!."


    This was the greatest news Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei shocked everybody with, including their family members.


    But at the end of the day, everybody celebrated them and wished them more happiness in their marriage.


    After the interview when Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were leaving, they were surrounded by the reporters who had more questions for them, but they rejected them as their bodyguards made way for them to their car.


    Chen Lihua sighed in relief as she crashed in Liu Longwei''s arms at the back seat of their car.


    "Are you tired?." Liu Longwei asked with a doting smile on his face as he c.a.r.e.s.sed her face.


    "My eyes are tired. The flashing lights from the cameras were too bright for my eyes, so I have to rest them now." Chen Lihua replied as she slowly shut her eyes.


    "I''m sorry about that, rest. When we get home, you might have to keep your eyes open for some hours, because we might be interrogated this night." Liu Longwei said to her with a smile as he patted her shoulder gently.


    "Yeah, that''s true. I forgot about that." Chen Lihua said as she hugged him with her head on his shoulder.


    Liu Longwei just smiled as he rubbed her arms.


    One of the bodyguards that came with them got into the front passenger seat, and the driver drove off.


    Back home, Little Taio didn''t fully understand what his parents tallied about during the interview, he just watched the Tv with interest, because he was looking at his parents.


    His Nanny explained his mother''s messed to him with a caring smile.


    "Taio, your mother says there will be another baby." The Nanny said to him as she tried to get his attention by squatting in front of him.


    "Another baby?." Taio asked in confusion. He really didn''t understand what his Nanny was talking about.


    Although Taio knew the word baby and had seen pictures of babies, so he understood that word. But what he didn''t get, was how there would be another baby in the house.


    Seeing that he was still confused, Hia Nanny knew that there was no way he would understand her even if she showed him any random picture of a baby, so she let him be.


    "Don''t worry, you will understand in due time." She said to him with a kind smile on her face.


    What she meant was that time would tell, it would make him understand when Chen Lihua''s stomach would begin to grow, and she explains things to him.


    But then, he will finally get things right and understand things after Chen Lihua gives birth to the child.


    Taio glanced at the television only to see that the show had come to an end, so he pointed at the television as he said to his Nanny while glancing at her, and then at the television.


    "I want my mummy."


    "You want your mother? She will be back soon." The Nanny replied to him as she fiddled with his little fingers.


    Taio took his fingers away from her grasp with his gaze on the Tv.


    The Nanny smile as she got up to her feet. She was not offended at all by Taio''s actions, and how dare she?


    Taio didn''t like being touched by other people unless it was necessary. Apart from his family, he doesn''t allow anybody to hold him.


    "Your Mum Will be back soon, let''s wait for her." The Nanny said to him with a smile, before calling for a servant.


    "Please keep your eyes on him, I need to go get his lunch ready." The Nanny said to the young servant, who nodded to her respectfully because she was their young master''s Nanny.


    The Nanny felt rest assured that nothing wrong will happen, so she went into the kitchen to make some food for Taio.


    It was a healthy food that young toddlers like him could eat.


    While the Nanny was gone, Taio still had his eyes glued to the Tv while the maid had her eyes on him.


    Seeing that he was bored, and wasn''t watching anything fun, a thought came to her head, so she carefully approached him.


    "Young Master, do you want to wait for h cartoons?." She asked him with a smile as she stared at him with her round eyes.


    Taio glanced at her, and then at the boring activity he possibly couldn''t understand going on, on the Tv, so he nodded in response.


    Having gotten permission to change the channel, the maid smiled happily as she picked up the remote and changed the channel to a cartoon station, which Taio immediately got interested in.


    Seeing that he was settled, the maid kept the remote back to the position she picked it up from, before going to sit on the rugged floor beside him.


    Taio was sitting in a kind of baby car seat, that was secured on the couch for him, so he was very comfortable with his gaze and interest in the cartoon he was viewing.


    "See..." Taio said in his cute voice as he said to the maid while pointing at the Tv with an amazed look on his bright face.


    "Yes." The maid replied as she glanced at him before glancing at the Tv with a smile on her face. She could see her young master was very interested in the cartoon.


    The maid like the cartoon as well because it was interesting, so she happily watched it with the little guy.


    The housekeeper was passing by when she saw a figure in the servant''s uniform, laughing with her focus on the cartoon on the screen. She frowned as she asked in a strong tone, "What are you doing by slacking off in your job?!."

 Chapter 512 - Someone Somewhere

    The housekeeper was passing by when she saw a figure in the servant''s uniform, laughing with her focus on the cartoon on the screen. She frowned as she asked in a strong tone, "What are you doing by slacking off in your job?!."


    The maid hurriedly stood up to her feet when she heard the housekeeper''s voice. Even little Taio was startled by the loud tone.


    If only he was still a baby, he would have started wailing by now.


    "I''m looking after the young master." The maid replied quickly with her head bowed.


    "If you are truly looking after the young master, you should do that appropriately. Have you forgotten you are a servant, so what gave you the courage to sit there and what cartoons and even laughing in the process. You are looking after the young master, not having your leisure time. Did you think of the consequences of your actions if the Master and Mistress came home and saw your actions?." The housekeeper scolded in a harsh tone.


    "I''m sorry, it won''t happen again." The maid said in a soft tone as she bowed, while little Taio watched her actions in wonder.


    "Housekeeper, you are not right by scolding a servant in front of the little child, what do you want him to learn from this?." The Nanny asked as she approached them with a look of disappointment.


    It was not that the housekeeper came to her senses. She just realized that her actions could get her punished, so she apologized to the Nanny.


    "It''s alright. I asked the maid to look after younger Master while I went into the kitchen to make his lunch, I hope you don''t mind?." The Nanny asked the housekeeper in a soft tone with her gaze on her.


    "It''s alright. Taking care of the young master is our greatest priority." The housekeeper replied.


    "I know it''s not my place to say this, but the way the maid reacted while watching the cartoon with the young master is not entirely wrong, just that it is not appropriate. The young master needs to grow up in a healthy environment, and it starts now, so he wouldn''t keep to himself in the future. This is a good way for him to learn to interact with people." The Nanny said to the housekeeper.


    "I understand, but her actions were not appropriate. She is a servant that has work assigned to do." The housekeeper insisted.


    "Not a problem." The Nanny said as she walked past her to Taio''s side.


    At some point, the little guy continued with his cartoon, since the tone of their voices was low.


    The housekeeper gave the maid a sign, and they both left the living area.


    "I hope you don''t mind, but it''s time for your lunch." The Nanny said to him with a smile before lifting him from the baby car seat he was strapped him.


    Even while in her arms, Taio strained his neck to look at the Tv. The Nanny saw his interest was still on the cartoon, but she knew he had to eat, so she picked up the remote and turned off the Tv.


    And when the Tv went blank before his eyes, Taio saw the remote in his Nanny''s hands, and his eyes followed her hand till it kept the remote on the table, before his eyes moved to her face.


    The Nanny noticed his eyes on her, so she smiled as she asked him in a gentle tone, "Are you angry? Please don''t be."


    The Nanny was scared he would make a fuss, so she was literally walking on pins and needles as she talked to bim


    Taio just looked away from her without making any sounds.


    The Nanny took that as a yes from him, so she carried him to the dining area to feed him.


    Taio ate his food obediently, without making a fuss, and he ate to his satisfaction.


    While Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei, the Chen family, and the Liu family were rejoicing after the interview the couple did, someone somewhere was not happy.


    A woman whose thoughts were sinister because she harbored evil thoughts against Chen Lihua, was very angry at the moment.


    "What nonsense! It wasn''t enough they already have a child, but now, another one is on the way?!." The woman screamed as she pushed down the flower vase in the darkroom, and the fresh lilies in the vase fell to the dark blue rug.


    Seeing those fresh lilies, got her angrier, as it reminded her of Chen Lihua. So, she stomped on them and killed them all.


    "You bitch! Do you dare get married to my man and have children with him? I will ruin you, I will kill you!." The woman screamed as she continued stomping on the lilies vigorously.


    Her face was distorted as she made those remarks.


    The guy with the scar knew that things wouldn''t end peacefully that day. He also knew that His boss''s wife was very angry, and this wasn''t the right moment to talk to her, but he knew he had to because very soon, she might end up stomping on the broken vase, and end up getting seriously injured, which might cost them their lives.


    "Mistress, be careful with the shards of glasses on the floor." He said as he pointed at one that the woman was about to step on.


    His voice seemed to remind the woman of something, because she paused in her actions, and slowly looked up at him.


    ''Oh No!.'' The scared-faced man silently cried out in his head when he saw the woman''s distorted facial expressions.


    The woman currently looked like a patient that just escaped from the mental asylum.


    Before he could open his mouth and say something he knew wouldn''t be meaningful to her at this point, he received the hardest and most painful slap he had ever received, on his face.


    "It was all your fault. How dare you talk to me?!." The woman screamed at him as she pointed her trembling fingers at him.


    Just now, the slap she gave to him was very painful, so she felt the impact as well. And besides, she slapped a hooligan, someone whose hands weren''t clean, so obviously, his skin was tough.

 Chapter 513 - Anger and Jealousy among his Ex-girlfriends

    Just now, the slap she gave to him was very painful, so she felt the impact as well. And besides, she slapped a hooligan, someone whose hands weren''t clean, so obviously, his skin was tough.


    The scared-faced man had his head bowed without saying anything because he didn''t dare to.


    "It''s all your fault! Where are your underlings, why didn''t they report anything to you? To think that I''ve been sitting here and planning the perfect revenge without knowing anything!." The woman said in anger as she kicked the man.


    The woman was not too scared, but he was kind of a little bit scared of the woman because he always felt she wasn''t normal she acted like a mental patient whenever she was angry, just like now.


    With his head still bowed, he decided to speak up, because he was being asked series of questions.


    "Ma, the news of her pregnancy was well hidden, that we couldn''t even get any news. There was no loophole in their cover-up."


    "Are you trying to defend your stupid self?! What kind of useless excuses are you telling me? That bitch already has a two-year-old son for Longwei, and you''re telling me that in these two years, your Intel''s didn''t find out anything?!." The woman asked angrily as she kicked him.


    "Ma, Mr. Liu was so thorough with hiding this news, so we didn''t find out anything until his wife revealed the news on the internet, which we informed you of, immediately." The man spoke in a determined voice.


    "I know Longwei better than you. When he wants to hide something, it''s always very difficult to find things out. But still, there should have been a loophole! Nothing can be made too perfect by anybody!." The woman insisted on blaming him and his underlings.


    "We are sorry Ma." The man apologized, totally giving up on explaining because it wouldn''t change anything.


    "Look at the mess you have done. Now, she is pregnant with another child! She still dares to flaunt this news about? Just wait till I teach you a big lesson you will regret you didn''t learn on time." The Woman said herself with her gaze on the window.


    She was referring to Chen Lihua in the second part of her sentence.


    After saying her piece, she walked out of the room, leaving the man behind. After she left, the man raised his head and glanced in the direction the woman left.


    Just then, his phone rang and he took it out from his pocket to check the caller ID. Seeing the identity of the person, he answered the call immediately...


    "Yes, Boss..."


    "I want to see you right now!." The man on the other side of the phone, commanded in a dangerous tone before ending the call.


    The scarred-faced man, tuned his face with his palm as he exhaled.


    He could smell trouble brewing, but none that he was afraid of. He wasn''t scared of dying...


    Liu Longwei first ex-girlfriend wasn''t the only one angry and jealous, because his second ex-girlfriend Zie Yu, was jealous as well. Her tantrum was far worse, just like a child.


    She hasn''t finished getting over the fact that Liu Longwei already had a son with another woman, now she was getting slapped with the news that their second child was on the way.


    At first, she didn''t know about the interview, because she forgot the time. And she wasn''t really interested in watching the interview, because she knew Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua would be all lovey-dovey, so she avoided the interview time, lest she got angry.


    But although she missed the interview, her informant of a friend, broadcasted the big news to her.


    Initially, Zie Yu was shocked by the news, but then thought Zu Mei was pulling her legs, so she decided to confirm the news herself, and already saw it on the tabloids of most newspapers.


    The first thing she did when she saw the news, was to smash her phone. Next, she swept everything on her vanity table to the floor.


    The water glass cup in her room wasn''t spared, she smashed the glass on the floor, before looking for what next to break as she screamed and cursed about...


    "Bitch! You dare to snatch my man? I will kill you!!!." Zie Yu cursed as she flung her bedsheets to the floor, before grabbing her hair with her hands.


    She sat on the floor as she pulled her hair and kept screaming, ''Bitch!.'' And before you know it, she started crying ????.


    The servants outside her door were worried about her, but not that they are because they really didn''t like Zie Yu. After all, she was always mean and rude to them.


    But they worked for her, so they had to be concerned because if anything happens to her, they wouldn''t escape death.


    "Miss, are you okay? Is everything right? Can we come in?." They all asked in a worried tone, but they didn''t receive any reply, but they could still hear Zie Yu''s voice.


    Not getting any reply didn''t mean that they would continue standing out there, doing nothing, so one of them turned the door handle, and the three of them walked into the room, only to see a not-so-surprising scene.


    They were not surprised because they were used to the way their young mistress threw tantrums. But they still rushed to her side to help her up.


    "Young Miss, what happened?!." One of them asked in a worried tone as she tried to help her stand up from the floor, but she received a slap.


    Pah!... ????


    "What are you nosing about?! Get out of my sight!!!." Zoe Yu screamed at her as she pushed her away.


    The servants were surprised by her outburst, this was far worse than anything they have seen before. The worst part of it all, as they had no idea why she was throwing a tantrum.


    But whatever it was, was very serious for her to react so strongly.

 Chapter 514 - Whose fault is that?

    It took a lot of effort for Zie Yu to become calm, but that didn''t mean she had forgotten everything that happened so quickly.


    She locked herself up in her bedroom, sat on a chair and took out a book and a pen, and began to scribble.


    While scribbling things that didn''t make sense, she kept cursing Chen Lihua. Right now, she was acting like a lunatic. And she believed that she was actually getting back at Chen Lihua for snatching Liu Longwei from her.


    So instead of breaking things and turning her bedroom upside down, she decided to scribbled and curse Chen Lihua while at it.


    The hatred and jealousy she had in her heart right now, could cause her to commit murder.


    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came back home, three servants came to welcome them. Two took off their shoes and gave them a change of slipper, while the other one took their jackets from them.


    Liu Taio was half asleep when his Nanny whispered to him that his parents were back. And immediately, his eyes opened, and began to search for his mother.


    "Mummy!." Liu Taio called out, as his Nanny lifted him in her arms with a smile.


    "Let''s go and meet your mother." The Nanny whispered to him as she took him to welcome his parents.


    "Did you hear that? That little guy is calling for you, and not me. He is very obvious with his special preference these days. Don''t you think he is rubbing this on my face?." Liu Longwei asked as try walked into the living room together.


    "He is my son, so it''s only natural that he loves me more than you. As for his special preference, I will advise you to learn to deal with it." Chen Lihua said to him with a smirk.


    "Mummy!." Liu Taio called out when he saw his mother. He stretched his arms towards her, beckoning on her to carry him.


    "Hey! Taio, did you miss me?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile as she took him from his Nanny.


    The Nanny bowed to them, before leaving the family of three on their own.


    Taio nodded in response to his mother''s question as he wrapped his arms around her neck.


    "Awwn! I missed you too. Kiss me." Chen Lihua said to him, and the little guy responded by kissing her cheeks.


    Chen Lihua smiled ???? as she kissed me too. "Oh! I love you, baby." Chen Lihua said to him, as she gave him plenty of kisses and on his little face.


    The Little guy became shy and hid his face in-between her neck.


    "You''re shy?." Chen Lihua asked him, as Liu Longwei stood there and watched the mother and son.


    Taio didn''t react to his mother''s question, he stayed completely still in her embrace.


    "Taio, your father is here, won''t you say hello to him?." Chen Lihua whispered to him with a smile.


    Slowly, Taio raised his face and glanced at his father, who was standing there and watching him with a smile.


    "Daddy..." He called out in his little cute voice.


    "Hey! Daddy thought you forgot about him." Liu Longwei said to him.


    "Someone is jealous." Chen Lihua teased him as she handed Taio over to him.


    "Taio, go to your father." Chen Lihua said to her son, who complied.


    "Give me a high five!." Liu Longwei said to his little son with a hand raised in the air.


    Liu Taio glanced at him, before lifting his small palm to meet his own in the air.


    "Good boy. Kiss daddy." Liu Longwei said to him with a smile. Liu Taio kissed his cheek before looking away.


    Liu Longwei hugged him as he chuckled softly. Then he turned to Chen Lihua to say, "This little guy is acting weird today."


    "I guess that''s his mood for today. I''m going to change my dress." Chen Lihua said to the father and son as she walked towards the elevator.


    "We will join you too." Liu Longwei said as he followed her with the little guy in his arms.


    The three took the elevator to the top floor. Coming out of the elevator, Chen Lihua walked ahead of them. She opened the door to Liu Longwei''s bedroom and walked in.


    Liu Longwei followed her. Now inside his bedroom, he placed Taio on the big bed before turning to say to his wife as he approached her.


    "Sweetheart, do you need my help?." He asked as he came to stand in front of her.


    "In what way exactly?." Chen Lihua asked with half-closed eyes.


    "You know what I mean... Let me help you get out of that dress, it''s been on your body for too long." Liu Longwei said in a low tone as he c.a.r.e.s.sed her face.


    "Longwei, can you not do this now? Our son is here." Chen Lihua said to him as she peeped from his side to see Taio, looking towards their direction.


    Liu Longwei paused in his actions and turned to look at his son. He hissed as he said, "I think I might have made a mistake bringing him along."


    "What do you mean, move aside." Chen Lihua said to him as she walked to the bed with a smile on her face.


    She sat on the bed and gestured to the little guy to come to her, and he did.


    "Why is my baby so obedient today?." Chen Lihua asked, but she didn''t receive any response.


    "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?." She asked him, and this time around, he nodded in response.


    "Okay. Mummy will help you sleep now." Chen Lihua said to him in a soft tone as she lifted him in her arms and started to walk around the room.


    Liu Longwei was speechless with her actions, so he decided to remind her. "You know he''s not a child, and you''ve got another baby on the way?."


    "Taio would always be my baby." Chen Lihua replied in a soft tone.


    "Nobody is arguing with you about it. But you know he is almost three, and he doesn''t disturb when he is tired. Just sit on the bed with him in your arms, and he will obediently go to sleep." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Why?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on him.


    "I''m worried about you. You''re pregnant you know." Liu Longwei said to her in a helpless tone.


    "And whose fault is that?." Chen Lihua asked as a smirk turned up on her lips.


    Liu Longwei gave muffled laughter. He was trying not to let that sound out because his son was trying to sleep.


    "What''s funny? Are you not guilty at all?." Chen Lihua asked in a hushed tone. She too was afraid of making a loud noise because of the sleepy little guy in her arms.


    "Okay, I admit that I''m guilty. It''s my fault for m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e to you under the moon''s watch. But, you have a fault as well." Liu Longwei said with a smile


    "What''s my fault?." Chen Lihua asked with a confused facial expression.


    "You couldn''t resist my charms." Liu Longwei replied.

 Chapter 515 - Liu Longwei wants a daughter

    "What''s my fault?." Chen Lihua asked with a confused facial expression.


    "You couldn''t resist my charms." Liu Longwei replied.


    "What?." Chen Lihua asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    it''s not that she didn''t hear what he said but that she found his words unbelievable.


    "Yeah. if you had resisted my charms, I wouldn''t have forced you." Liu Longwei insisted with a smirk on his face.


    "Are you kidding me? who are you trying to deceive? Well, it can''t be me. You know very well that even if I had resisted you, you would have found a way for me not to give up." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "That means my charms are irresistible. Wow! thanks for the praise." Liu Longwei replied with a triumphant smile.


    Chen Lihua wanted to refute his words, but he drew her attention to something else.


    "I think that guy is in a deep sleep, send him to his Nanny."


    Chen Lihua glanced at the little guy in her arms and confirmed he was asleep already, so she asked him, "I want him to spend the night with us, I want to hug him to sleep."


    "No way. He''s already so grown up and you want him to spend the night with us? If you are looking for a bunny to hug, you have me here." Liu Longwei said with a seamless smile on his face.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t hold a candle to his homelessness so she just asked him to open the door, so she could send the little guy to his Nanny.


    Liu Longwei had a smile on his face after Chen Lihua left with their son.


    He was very happy and felt his life was complete with all the right persons in it.


    Taking off his suit jacket, he removed his tie and his cufflinks, before walking into the dressing room with the things he took off.


    Chen Lihua sent Liu Taio to his decorated boy''s bedroom. She laid him on his bed and kissed his forehead and had his Nanny watch over him before walking out of the room.


    Going back to Liu Longwei''s bedroom, she found the room empty, so she guessed where he was and walked into the dressing room. And there, she met him shirtless as he sat on an armed chair, motionless.


    "Did he cry when you were about to leave?." Liu Longwei inquired with a deep gaze.


    "No, he was already fast asleep." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Why are you sitting there without a shirt, were you waiting for me?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile as she took off her earrings and necklace.


    "You know my thoughts very well." Liu Longwei replied as he stood up and approached her with a smile.


    Chen Lihua knew him very well. And with him approaching her now, she knew he didn''t have any pure intentions.


    His gaze looks like he wouldn''t let her be if he didn''t have his way with her tonight.


    Just as she thought, as she was taking off her pink Diamond ring, Liu Longwei came to stand behind her. He lowered his head to her neck and breathed in her scent.


    Closing his eyes, he whispered to her ear, "you smell nice." After saying that to her, He moved her hair to the other side and lowered his lips to planted soft kisses on her neck.


    "Longwei stop." She said as she chuckled softly while trying to bend her neck, but Liu Longwei held her neck in place and continued to rain kisses on her.


    Chen Lihua noticed his kisses were no longer soft as he started, they were now deep and caused more reactions from her.


    "Longwei stop." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at them from the mirror.


    "You want me to stop?." Liu Longwei asked as he raised his head to glance at her from the mirror.


    Seeing that feisty gaze over her, Chen Lihua slowly nodded. She didn''t think she could handle him tonight.


    "Okay, I will leave you be tonight, but..."


    Chen Lihua was about to sigh in relief when she heard that he still had something to say, so she held her breath.


    Seeing her tensed gaze, Liu Longwei smiled to himself as he continued. "you will have to take a shower with me tonight."


    Chen Lihua pushed his face aside with her palm gently, as she turned to face him.


    "What''s the difference?." She asked in a demanding tone.


    To her, there was no difference between having s*x and having a bath with him. He would still get to do whatever he wanted.


    She just wanted to sleep peacefully in his arms tonight, without doing the other stuff. It looks like there was no way for her tonight.


    "There is a difference." Liu Longwei replied with a deep gaze before bringing her into his embrace.


    "There is no difference, you will still get to do what you want." Chen Lihua said as she sulked liked a child.


    Liu Longwei kissed her hair as he said, "Don''t sulk like a child, you have two children already. And I hope you give me a daughter this time around. Liu Wei is too attached to you, so I am hoping a daughter will be attached to me."


    "Are you jealous of your son and me?." Chen Lihua asked with a burst of muffled laughter.


    "You find my actions funny? But I really do mean that I said. I want a daughter, I don''t want to feel lonely watching you and your son have a good time." Liu Longwei said as his hands traced her back till he found the invincible zipper on her dress.


    "You really want a daughter?." Chen Lihua asked, interested in his response.


    "Yes, and I hope you give me one soon." Liu Longwei finished saying as he unzipped her dress.


    "Okay, I will give you one." Chen Lihua said to him with a smile.


    "Really?." Liu Longwei asked with a smile as he released her from the hug and gazed into her eyes.

 Chapter 516 - No difference having a bath or *** with him

    "You really want a daughter?." Chen Lihua asked, interested in his response.


    "Yes, and I hope you give me one soon." Liu Longwei finished saying as he unzipped her dress.


    "Okay, I will give you one." Chen Lihua said to him with a smile.


    "Really?." Liu Longwei asked with a smile as he released her from the hug and gazed into her eyes.


    "Yeah." Chen Lihua replied as she watched the smile on his face bloom.


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anything, and instead, lowered his face kiss her lips. Their tongues entangled with each other as they danced to one tone.


    Slowly, Liu Longwei pushed her dress easy from her shoulders, as it came sliding down to her legs.


    As their kisses became heated, they shut their eyes and allowed their tongues to explore each other''s mouths.


    While c.a.r.e.s.sing her back, Liu Longwei''s fingers reached out to unhook her bra, before dropping it on the floor.


    with her upper body b.a.r.e, Liu Longwei hugged her tightly and felt her full bosom on his b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t.


    Feeling her warm b.o.o.b.s on his b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t, Liu Longwei felt a different kind of excitement in him, as all his brain cells began to jump up and down.


    From her lips, Liu Longwei trailed kisses to her jaw and neck. Chen Lihua m.o.a.n.e.d softly as his hands continued to c.a.r.e.s.s her body.


    From her neck down to her c.h.e.s.t, and then to the middle of her b.o.o.b.s, Liu Longwei trailed more hot wet kisses.


    Chen Lihua m.o.a.n.e.d as her fingers got tangled with his hair. She shut her eyes in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and let her hands c.a.r.e.s.s him.


    "I can''t get enough of you." Liu Longwei whispered to her as he brought his hand to squeeze one of her b.o.o.b.s gently.


    "You shouldn''t." Chen Lihua managed to say in an almost inaudible tone before her voice was swallowed by a m.o.a.n that escaped from her lips as Liu Longwei''s wet tongue came in contact with her n.i.p.p.l.e, while the other hand squeezed the other boob.


    "Darling..." Chen Lihua called out as she m.o.a.n.e.d in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e with her eyes closed. Her legs were weak now, and almost gave way, but Liu Longwei held her firmly.


    "You are so sweet." Liu Longwei whispered as his hot breath c.a.r.e.s.sed her neck and almost drove her senseless.


    "Darling, we were supposed to have a bath." Chen Lihua reminded him in a soft tone with her half-closed eyes.


    "That would be later." Liu Longwei came back to kissing her neck after he replied.


    Chen Lihua breathed heavily as her fingers scratched his back. Her husband really knew how to work wonders with his mouth and fingers on her body.


    "Take off my belt." Liu Longwei commanded as he passed with his kisses with his gaze locked on her.


    He had his arms around her waist for support, because he knew she could barely stand on her own.


    Chen Lihua moved her fingers from his back to her belt. she fiddled with it and removed it the next second.


    Staring at him, she read meaning into his faze and proceeded to unzip his trousers and take them off.


    She was surprised when she saw the huge bump between his legs, it was normal, considering what they were up to.


    "Take the b.r.i.e.f.s ???? off as well."


    Chen Lihua took a deep breath before she reached out to the b.r.i.e.f.s with her fingers, and slowly pulled them downwards, thus releasing the ravaging little beast that needed to be tamed by his Mistress.


    Liu Longwei took his legs out of the b.r.i.e.f.s as he gave another command. "Touch it."


    "Darling..." Chen Lihua said as she looked up at him from her kneeling position.


    "Be a good girl." Liu Longwei said in a low tone as he c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair with his seductive gaze on her.


    Chen Lihua nodded as she complied with his request.


    From his ankles, her two fingers c.a.r.e.s.sed each of his legs. Her fingers slowly made their way up to his l.a.p.s. they took their time drawing circles on his l.a.p.s, close to his member.


    Liu Longwei breathed heavily when her fingers came in contact with his skin. He shut his eyes and allowed her hands to touch him just like he wanted.


    Feeling that the teasing was enough, Chen Lihua brought her hand to his little brother and grabbed it with a gentle force.


    Liu Longwei m.o.a.n.e.d in a low tone as his wife''s hand danced around his member. His fingers continued to rub her hair out of excitement.


    When she grabbed him, the little animal responded to her. She was his mistress and the only woman allowed to control him.


    Slowly standing up with it in her hand, She kissed Liu Longwei briefly on the lips as her hand started to move up and down his member.


    Liu Longwei m.o.a.n.e.d in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e with his half-opened eyes on her.


    Chen Lihua felt confident with his reaction and increased her pace. The more she rubbed him, the harder he got, and the more p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e she felt from it.


    "You are getting real good at this." Liu Longwei said in a hushed tone.


    "Thanks to you." Chen Lihua whispered in a soft tone before l.i.c.k.i.n.g his n.i.p.p.l.e.


    "You are driving me crazy, it''s my turn now." Liu Longwei said as he took her hand off him and pushed her to the armchair ????.


    "What do you want to do?." Chen Lihua asked with a bad prenomination when her b.u.t.t landed on the cushioned armchair.


    "You will see." Liu Longwei replied as he knelt before her and took off her p.a.n.t.i.e.s.


    Chen Lihua didn''t need a soothsayer to tell her what his next actions would be. She could already imagine herself screaming in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e when he hasn''t even started.

 Chapter 517 - Loving Moments

    Chen Lihua didn''t need a soothsayer to tell her what his next actions would be. She could already imagine herself screaming in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e when he hasn''t even started.


    "Now watch me." Liu Longwei said in a seductive tone as he began to trail kisses from her lips to her neck, c.h.e.s.t, stomach, and then down to her middle.


    Chen Lihua was already breathing heavily by now. She let out a soft m.o.a.n when his lips kissed her VJ.


    "You''re wet." Liu Longwei said to her with a smile.


    "I know." Chen Lihua replied in a hushed tone.


    Liu Longwei suddenly felt it would be fun to tease his anxious wife, he let a smirk form on his lips before lowering his head to blow some air in her.


    Chen Lihua fidgeted and tried to close her legs, but Liu Longwei held it in place before going ahead to put his lips there.


    Chen Lihua felt a great amount of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and a loud m.o.a.n escape her lips as he husband s.u.c.k.e.d her hard.


    "Ahh...!." Chen Lihua m.o.a.n.e.d as she rubbed her husband''s hair.


    Liu Longwei s.u.c.k.e.d her hard for a few minutes before reducing the pace. He slowly teased her c.l.i.t and honeycomb with his tongue.


    Liu Longwei was doing this on purpose, and Chen Lihua couldn''t do anything. She felt so p.l.e.a.s.u.r.ed and annoyed at the same time.


    When She felt like screaming, but just before she could so that, Liu Longwei would reduce his pace.


    S.u.c.k.i.n.g her, Liu Longwei fixed his gaze on her to see her reactions, because her response held the key to his p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.


    When he felt he had tortured her enough after her pleas, Liu Longwei lifted her, and Chen Lihua didn''t relent on hugging his neck and clasping her legs behind him.


    Liu Longwei carried her back to the bedroom and sat at the edge of the bed.


    "Lie down." He commanded, and she obeyed him almost immediately.


    "I love it when you have the look on your face." Liu Longwei said to her as he laid down beside her on his side as he trailed kisses on her, while his other hand began to work its way inside her VJ.


    "mmmm... What look?." Chen Lihua m.o.a.n.e.d softly.


    "That look that seems to be pleading to me to go to the next step." Liu Longwei replied as he moved his fingers in and out of her.


    "Darling, can you not tease me anymore." Chen Lihua said to him in a sweet tone that he couldn''t resist.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei said as they exchanged hot kisses.


    "I''m going to f*CK your brains out." Liu Longwei promised as he licked his lips.


    "Just be careful of the baby." Chen Lihua reminded him.


    "I know, I would never hurt my daughter." Liu Longwei replied as he adjusted her position on the bed.


    As he got ready to penetrate her, he lifted her legs up and before l.i.c.k.i.n.g her one more time.


    As he promised, He really did f*ck Chen Lihua''s brains out. He kept changing the positions as he banged her.


    Chen Lihua felt so p.l.e.a.s.u.r.ed that she couldn''t contain it. she kept screaming as little tears escaped her eyes.


    Although Liu Longwei was careful not to penetrate her deeply, he still gave her a great deal of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.


    "Do you want me to stop?." He whispered to her ears as he banged her from behind. They were both lying on their sides now.


    "No..." Chen Lihua managed to say as the waves of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e hit her.


    Liu Longwei didn''t just bang her from behind, he also p.l.e.a.s.u.r.ed her by teasing her c.l.i.ts, and also moving his hands to fondle her b.o.o.b.s.


    Liu Longwei was so energetic tonight that he kept banging her till she pleaded with him to stop, and only then did he stop.


    "Are you alright?." He asked with his gaze on the exhausted Chen Lihua, as he dried her tears.


    "Mmm." Chen Lihua mumbled in reply as she sniffed.


    "Did I go too far? I''m sorry." He said to her as he kissed her forehead and c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair.


    "No, it''s fine. Why were you so energetic this night?." Chen Lihua asked as he brought her into his arms.


    "Are you saying I haven''t been active in bed the other times?." Liu Longwei asked as he c.a.r.e.s.sed her face.


    "No, not that. I mean, you were hyperactive today as if you couldn''t get enough of me." Chen Lihua explained.


    "I can''t ever get enough of you." Liu Longwei confessed as he leaned in to kiss her lips.


    "Did I satisfy you?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I am satisfied when you are." Liu Longwei replied with his gaze on her.


    "I think I''m not giving you enough, and that you are lying to me." Chen Lihua said with a serious gaze on his.


    "Hey! why do think so?." Liu Longwei asked with a worried gaze?


    "I don''t know, it''s just a feeling I can''t get rid of." Chen Lihua replied with creased brows.


    "Sweetheart, relax. then get so worked up with something like this. I am fine. You are a good wife to me, and a good mother to our children." Liu Longwei consoled her as he tried to relax her creased brows.


    "Okay. I want to take a bath now." Chen Lihua said as she moved away from his arms and sat upon the bed.


    "I need one as well." Liu Longwei said as he hugged from behind. His hands began to move around her body once again.


    When he found her b.o.o.b.s, he rubbed them and squeezed them gently.


    "I can''t believe this will belong to our daughter soon. Taio s.u.c.k.e.d on this for more than a year which I could barely bear. Now, I didn''t even get to enjoy this for a while, and another child is coming to take over." Liu Longwei complained as he continued to fondle her b.o.o.b.s.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly. "You can always share, just like you did with Taio." Chen Lihua suggested as she raised her hands before moving it back to c.a.r.e.s.s his face.

 Chapter 518 - Why wont you give me more?

    Chen Lihua chuckled softly. "You can always share, just like you did with Taio." Chen Lihua suggested as she raised her hands before moving it back to c.a.r.e.s.s his face.


    "No, how shameless can I be to snatch my little Princess''s food? what would she think of me? Maybe that is the reason Taio likes to get closer to you than to me." Liu Longwei said in a tone filled with jealousy.


    "Yeah right, who knows?." Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly. "Maybe he really remembers that you used to fight over his mill with him, so he doesn''t want to hang around a shameless person."


    "You are having fun with all of these right?." Liu Longwei asked as he pinched her n.i.p.p.l.es.


    "Aww. that hurts." Chen Lihua said as she hissed in pain. Then she stopped c.a.r.e.s.sing his face as she sent him a glare.


    "I''m sorry, let me blow on it." Liu Longwei said as he came to kneel before her.


    Chen Lihua wanted to see what he was up to, so she didn''t stop him.


    Liu Longwei said he wanted to blow on it, but why was it inside his mouth?. Liu Longwei who said he wanted to blow on her n.i.p.p.l.es, was currently s.u.c.k.i.n.g it.


    "I just knew you were not straightforward. Can you ever go through with your words? What a shameless person!." Chen Lihua said as she sighed.


    "These belong to me, so I have every right to it, I don''t need your permission." Liu Longwei said with a smirk as he looked up at her.


    "How did a part of my body become yours?." Chen Lihua asked with an unbelievable look on her face.


    "Not just a part of your body, not just your body, but your entire being belongs to me. Chen Lihua belongs to me." Liu Longwei said with a cheeky look on his face.


    His words caused Chen Lihua to smile as she gently pinched his cheeks. "You really know how to sweet talk."


    "I can only be sweet to my wife." Liu Longwei said as they locked gazes. Chen Lihua had a beautiful smile on her face as she raised her palm to c.a.r.e.s.s his cheeks. Next, she leaned in to kiss his lips.


    After locking their lips for a while, Liu Longwei used his thumb to clean her lips, then he moved his gaze from her face to her b.o.o.b.s again.


    "Since you became pregnant with Taio, your b.o.o.b.s increased in size, even while b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding him. But immediately he stopped, the size reduced." Liu Longwei said, but more like he was complaining.


    "It''s normal, I''m no longer b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding. But they are not the same size it was before I got pregnant in the first place." Chen Lihua said as she moved her gaze to look at her b.o.o.b.s.


    "Well, I still like them. Our daughter will feed properly because her mother can produce enough milk for a child and one a.d.u.l.t." Liu Longwei said with a shameless ???? look on his face.


    "You really are truly shameless. You also seem to prefer a daughter to a son, your preferential treatment can not be hidden." Chen Lihua said as he encircled his arms around her waist.


    "Of course. I need a daughter to dote on, you already have a son to dote on. I can''t tolerate you two displaying your affection everywhere in the house." Liu Longwei said as he nibbled on her c.h.e.s.t.


    "Alright, whatever you say is right. But right now, I need to go and have a bath." Chen Lihua said as she pushed him away, but he remained adamant.


    "No, let''s stay like this for a little while." Liu Longwei suggested as he rubbed his face all over her c.h.e.s.t.


    "If you continue to act like this, you''re going to want more, and I wouldn''t be able to help you." Chen Lihua said to him as she tried pushing his shoulders away.


    "Why won''t you give me more?." Liu Longwei asked in a suggestive tone.


    "Do you how many times we did it? And you were a little violent like you wanted us to merge. I''m worried about the baby, it''s too young and can''t stand that vigorous movement for a long while, I think." Chen Lihua said to him. ????


    Thinking of his daughter, Liu Longwei gave up on the idea of asking for more. He really cared about the little child in the w.o.m.b, so he released her from his embrace, before helping to pull her up from the bed.


    Having gotten a foothold on the floor, Liu Longwei held her hand and they both walked into the washroom together.


    "Do you want a bath or a shower?." Liu Longwei asked with his gaze on her.


    "A bath I guess, I want to soak in hot water. But we are not doing anything more than taking a bath together." Chen Lihua said with a warning look on her face.


    Liu Longwei replied with his hands in surrender, "Yes Ma''am, I wouldn''t dare to demand a huge present ???? when you''ve already given me one already."


    Liu Longwei said this with his gaze on her abdomen.


    "Good." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    Liu Longwei licked his lips before walking to the bath to set the water at the right temperature, after which he helped her get into the bath before joining her.


    "Mmmm... I like this feeling." Chen Lihua said as she m.o.a.n.e.d with her eyes shut. She liked the feeling of the warm water on her body, especially after going through a sprint with her husband.


    "You look relaxed, do you want a massage?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Maybe next time. I will relax a bit if I soak in the warm water for a while." Chen Lihua replied with her gaze on him.


    Liu Longwei smiled with his gaze on her. He can''t seem to be able to get enough of his wife''s gaze. She was so beautiful and loving.


    He doesn''t know if he will be able to take it without her by his side. Surely, he wouldn''t pray for that day to come.

 Chapter 519 - He knew his woman very well

    Liu Longwei smiled with his gaze on her. He can''t seem to be able to get enough of his wife''s gaze. She was so beautiful and loving.


    He doesn''t know if he will be able to take it without her by his side. Surely, he wouldn''t pray for that day to come.


    "When you''re done soaking, I will help to wash you." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said before shutting her eyes again.


    Liu Longwei sat there watching her before his eyes moved to her stomach, then a smile appeared on his face.


    They have come so far. Who would believe their marriage was truly arranged by their mothers, and they now fell hard in love with each other. They even have a son together, and another child was on the way.


    Not being able to hide his emotions, Liu Longwei lifted his hand to c.a.r.e.s.s her stomach, and immediately, Chen Lihua opened her eyes.


    She had a smile as she watched him c.a.r.e.s.s her abdomen.


    "I want to see her." Liu Longwei said with his gaze on her.


    "Okay. But we can not tell her gender now since I''m not even up to a month. Please, don''t be disappointed when it turns out to be another son." Chen Lihua said to him.


    She could tell how much he wanted a girl. Now, the love between her and their son was fuelling his d.e.s.i.r.e for a daughter. She hopes she can give him a daughter, how happy will he be?


    "I know it''s a girl, my guts are always right. But even if I''m wrong, I will still love our child, because it came from you." Liu Longwei said to her with a smile.


    Chen Lihua placed her hand on his. "I love you." She confessed.


    "I love you, more than you know." Liu Longwei said to her with a smile before moving his hand to c.a.r.e.s.s her cheeks.


    "I want to have a bath now." Chen Lihua said out of the blue.


    "Okay, Ma''am." Liu Longwei sad before stretching his hands to pick the shower gel with his reach.


    "I''m going to sit behind you and that way, I will do a good job." Liu Longwei said as he stood up with the shower gel in his hand.


    "Careful." Chen Lihua warned with her gaze on him, before adjusting her sitting position to make way for him.


    Liu Longwei carefully settled himself behind her. Next, he put some shower gel on his palm. He rubbed it together before placing his palms on her shoulders.


    Chen Lihua had her shut as she enjoyed the feeling of her husband''s fingers on her body.


    "Do you like it?." Liu Longwei asked as she continued to rub the shower gel all over her back.


    "Yeah. The feeling is so nice." Chen Lihua replied.


    "That''s good, but don''t just fall asleep." Liu Longwei said to her as he took more shower gel in his palms.


    He knew his woman very well. He knew what she was capable of doing. She can fall asleep as far as she was enjoying the feeling she was getting.


    "I will try." Chen Lihua said with her tightly shut eyes, and a smile.


    Liu Longwei sighed as he rubbed his palms together before massaging the shower gel on her skin. From her neck, his fingers moved to her c.h.e.s.t, and down to the other parts of her body.


    Liu Longwei didn''t want Chen Lihua to fall asleep in the bath, so he hurried up with washing her body and his.


    "Why did you finish so quickly?." Chen Lihua asked with a frown as she dried her body with the towel he passed to her.


    "I didn''t want you to fall asleep." Liu Longwei explained as he wiped his body.


    "I will only forgive you because you gave a good reason." Chen Lihua said as she hung her towel on the towel hanger.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly as he hung his towel before opening the door to the walk-in closet. They walked in with their bathrobes wrapped around their bodies.


    Going straight to use of her cream, Chen Lihua sat on the chair and looked into the mirror.


    She picked her night beauty products her sister-in-law, Liu Huiling recommended to her.


    "Have you checked your phone since we came back?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "No, I know what I will see, and so I''m not ready for it." Liu Longwei replied as he made use of his antiperspirant.


    "I put my phone on Airplane mode, I''m not ready for them." Chen Lihua replied with a chuckle.


    "Yours is better, at least you wouldn''t have to call anyone back. I left my phone on silently ????, so I will still see their texts and missed calls, that will be so tiring." Liu Longwei replied.


    "You know, you can wait for them to call you back and pretend you were busy." Chen Lihua suggested as she stood up to walk to her wardrobe to pick a nightdress.


    "That will work, thanks." Liu Longwei said as he walked to her side and kissed her cheeks.


    "You''re welcome." Chen Lihua replied as she picked her pajamas.


    Since Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei came back from the interview, they haven''t checked their phones, as they left them lying in one corner of their room.


    They knew their families would be calling to ask them numerous questions which they were not ready to answer, so they deliberately abandoned their phones.


    "No matter what you pick, I can still gain easy access." Liu Longwei whispered to Chen Lihua''s ears after he was dressed in his nightwear, seeing her in her pajamas.


    Chen Lihua gave a smile that was not truly a smile. "I know you are thick-skinned, but don''t forget I have my bedroom. If I feel lonely sleeping alone, I will call my son to come and join me on the bed." Chen Lihua threatened with a harmless smile.

 Chapter 520 - More worried than happy

    After taking a nap, Kim Hyejin who just woke up from sleep could hear cheerful voices coming from outside her room, even though it wasn''t close.


    She got out of bed and went to the washroom to clean her face before coming back to her bedroom to sit on her vanity table to arrange her hair.


    Satisfied with her current looks, She picked up her phone and walked out of the room. Outside her bedroom, she could hear the laughter clearly.


    She could tell there were visitors, but she didn''t know if her guess was right. But walking into the living room, she found her guess to be right. Her Uncle''s wife and children were around. And not just that, Her Uncle was around as well, and his two sons were currently in his embrace.


    Hearing the light footsteps, the conversation paired as everybody slowly looked up towards her direction.


    "Hyejin is here." Park Mun Hee announced as she stood up and went to drag Kim Hyejin to their side.


    Hyejin still had a tired expression on her face, but she managed a smile to look polite. She greeted everybody in the room before turning to the twin boys that were looking at her.


    She had a smirk on her face with her gaze on them, before quietly taking a seat.


    "That''s your cousin, the figure skating Queen." Park Ji Hu whispered to their ears.


    "I know, she looks so real seating there." One of the twins said in an excited tone.


    "I can''t believe I''m looking at her right now." The other twin said with a surprised look on his face.


    "Come on, go and greet her." Park Ji Hu said to them as he gave them a gentle push while the rest of the family watched.


    "You are Jenny, Kim Jenny?." The twins asked.


    "Yes, I am." Kim Hyejin said as she stretched her palm forth to shake their hands.


    "Wow! it feels so real now." The other twin said as he turned to his father with an excited smile on his face, just after he shook hands with Kim Hyejin.


    The rest of the family laughed out loud as they watched the reactions of the twins.


    The twins seemed to like Kim Hyejin, and so they engaged in an interesting conversation with her.


    Kim Hyejin felt like a star with the eat the two boys took her and conversed with her, and she patiently answered all the questions they threw at her related to figure skating.


    "Can we visit the rink with you?." They asked her.


    "Sure, you can. I will love to play on the ice with you two." Kim Hyejin replied with a smile.


    "Yeah!!!." The boys screamed in excitement before running back to their father''s side.


    "They like you very much." Park Mun Hee said with a smile.


    "It''s only natural that they like me." Kim Hyejin said with a smile.


    Park Ha Jun chuckled from the side before asking her, "You went to the toy factory today, how was your trip?".


    "I haven''t seen that place in a long time, so after I visited today, I found that a lot has changed. I like the place, and I got to see the procedure of how a particular sample of a toy was being made." Kim Hyejin responded.


    Park Ha Jun nodded with a smile.


    "Sister Hyejin, do we go to the rink?." The twins asked in an excited tone, as they couldn''t get over the fact their idol who was also their family member was sitting in from of them.


    "hmmm ????." Kim Hyejin thought hard before glancing at her Uncle, who was waiting for a response.


    "Well, since you don''t have your skating shoes with you now, let''s visit the rink tomorrow morning, but I don''t know if your dad can make it by that time." Kim Hyejin replied with a sad gaze on Park Ji Hu.


    Hearing her mention their father, The boys turned to Park Ji Hu to ask him to follow them to the rink the morning of the next day.


    "Daddy please..." they w.h.i.n.ed. ????


    "Okay, I will go with you guys." Park Ji Hu said, as he finally relented to their request.


    "Great!." The boys said as they high-fived each other happily.


    Kim Hyejin didn''t talk much with her Aunt because she wasn''t too close with her.


    Not long after, food was served and everybody went to the dining table to eat. The family enjoyed their meal happily as they engaged in little conversations.


    After eating, the family spent some time together as they conversed with one another. When evening came, it was time for Park Ji Hu to send his family home, so they had to say goodbye.


    Now that his family was back, he had to go back to his house with them.


    "Sister Hyejin, don''t forget your promise tomorrow." The boys reminded her as she walked them to the door.


    "I will. I am an early bed, so let''s do this early tomorrow, okay?." Kim Hyejin said to them patiently.


    "Okay!." The guys chorused.


    "I forgot to ask, did you come with your skating shoes?." Park Ji Hu asked.


    "If I don''t carry my skating shoes with me while traveling, what else can I take with me?." Kim Hyejin asked with a smile.


    "I guess you can''t stand staying away from the rink for a long time. See you tomorrow morning, Queen." Park Ji Hu said as he tried to rub her hair, but Kim Hyejin caught his arm before it could land on her hair.


    "Good Night, Uncle." Kim Hyejin said with a naughty smile on her face before turning to his wife to have goodbye.


    "Your cousins seemed to like you very much, and they are very interested in figure skating." Park Mun Hee said to her with a smile as she sat down beside her.


    "Yeah, and it''s great that way." Kim Hyejin replied nonchalantly.


    Taking her palms in hers, Park Mun Hee stared into her eyes as she said, "I''m happy you''re becoming interactive with people."


    "Grandma, you sound more like you''re worried than you are happy." Kim Hyejin said with a smile.


    "No you''re wrong, I am relieved." Park Mun Hee replied.


    "Okay. Grandma, the boys are my family. They like me and what I do, and they also see me as their idol. They respect me, so of course, I have to reciprocate. Although I''m not that close with them, I believe I can bond with them with these facts." Kim Hyejin said with a smile.


    Park Mun Hee sighed in relief before letting her go.


    "Hyejin, play ''go'' with me." Park Ha Jun said as he glanced at his granddaughter with a smile before walking to the dining table to set the box down.


    "Hmmm ????." Kim Hyejin reacted in confusion. She didn''t know how to play ''go'', so why was the old man asking her to play with him?


    "But grandpa, I don''t know how to play it." Kim Hyejin said as she walked to the dining table. Then she pulled a seat and down opposite her grandfather.


    "I will teach you." Park Ha Jun said to her as he arranged the games on the table.


    Kim Hyejin exchanged glances with her grandmother before turning to her grandfather to say with a smile, "Grandfather, why don''t we do it this way. Play with grandmother for two or three rounds while I watch from the side."


    "Are you that scared?." Park Ha Jun looked up as he asked.


    "I''m not afraid of anything. It wouldn''t be fun for me if I play with you without having any prior knowledge of how the game is placed. I can at least gain a better understanding if I watch you and grandmother play." Kim Hyejin explained.


    "Okay." Park Ha Jun said in agreement before turning over to call his wife.


    Park Mun Hee answered as she walked to sit beside him


    "You heard what your granddaughter said, so play with me for a while." Park Ha Jun said to her.


    "I heard her. It''s just that I can''t stand you being so smug about winning so many rounds. But for my granddaughter, I will stand the humiliation." Park Mun Hee replied as she chose aside.


    Kim Hyejin chuckled softly at her grandmother''s aggrieved words.


    "Grandma, thank you." Kim Hyejin said as she chuckled softly.


    "Never mind." Park Mun Hee said as the game began.


    The old couple played five rounds with Park Ha Jun winning all five. Park Mun Hee looked aggrieved and refused to play anymore after losing face.


    Park Ha Jun couldn''t hide the triumphant smile on his face as he made jest of her.


    "We just played five rounds, and you''re giving up already?." Park Ha Jun asked with a smug look on his face.


    He looked to be enjoying whatever that was going on.

 Chapter 521 - You dare to laugh at me?

    "No matter what you pick, I can still gain easy access." Liu Longwei whispered to Chen Lihua''s ears after he was dressed in his nightwear, seeing her in her pajamas.


    Chen Lihua gave a smile that was not truly a smile. "I know you are thick-skinned, but don''t forget I have my bedroom. If I feel lonely sleeping alone, I will call my son to come and join me on the bed." Chen Lihua threatened with a harmless smile.


    "Are you threatening me?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Was I? I was only saying the future reality." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Let''s go downstairs for dinner." Chen Lihua said to him as she held him and dragged him out of the walk-in closet.


    "Should we take our phones?." Liu Longwei asked as he briefly glanced at their phones that were lying side to side on the nightstand.


    "No, let''s eat in peace." Chen Lihua said as she dragged him out of the room.


    Downstairs at the dining table, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei sat side by side and at their food. They didn''t talk much, probably because Chen Lihua didn''t look like she wanted any distractions while eating, because she was very hungry after the hectic exercise.


    Liu Longwei knew that, so he let her eat peacefully.


    But while eating, the housekeeper came to them with the telephone in hand.


    "Sir, Ma''am, sorry to disturb you, but it''s been ringing for a while now." The housekeeper said to them with the ringing telephone in her hand.


    "Who is calling?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on her.


    "I''m sorry, but I don''t know now, but people from your families have been calling. Lady Chen said she couldn''t get through you, and Sir wasn''t picking her calls, so she reached out with this." The housekeeper informed.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei exchanged glances before she said to the housekeeper.


    "If it rings again, just answer it like before. If it''s anyone from our families, just tell them we are having dinner and will call them back later.


    "Yes, Ma''am." The housekeeper said before walking away from their presence.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she said to Liu Longwei, "I''m beginning to think that I made a big mistake by announcing about my pregnancy and our son."


    "Hey! Don''t be sad. We have announced it already, so there is no need to regret it, just be happy." Liu Longwei said as he squeezed her palm gently.


    Chen Lihua pouted her lips and turned to look out him. "Maybe I should have thought things over. I think you should have stopped me."


    "What, are you blaming me now?." Liu Longwei asked with a look of surprise ???? on his face.


    "No, I''m not blaming you." Chen Lihua denied immediately as she placed her other hand on his, stopping him from moving his fingers.


    "I was only saying that you indulge me a lot that I do whatever I want. Please just talk to me next time if I want to take a decision, in case I will regret it later."


    "Okay, I get you, finish your food." Liu Longwei said as he took her hand off his own.


    "Are you angry?." Chen Lihua asked as she watched him go back to eating.


    "No, why would you think so?." Liu Longwei asked with an indifferent look on his face.


    "You just took your hands away just like that, and now, you''re not even smiling with me." Chen Lihua said with a sad facial expression.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he put his cutlery down. "I''m not angry, I''m just thinking about how difficult it will be not to allow you do what you want. But I get it now."


    "So you''re not angry?." Chen Lihua questioned with her gaze on him.


    "Really, I''m not." Liu Longwei replied as he pinched her cheek.


    "Proof it." Chen Lihua said to him with a pout.


    Liu Longwei had a smirk on his lips as he stared at her. "Since you want me to prove my love for you, I will."


    "Who said y..." Chen Lihua''s words were cut short before she could finish them, be sure right at that moment, Liu Kissed her lips.


    "Have I proofed it?." Liu Longwei asked after a few seconds kiss. He had a slight smile on his face as he asked that question.


    Chen Lihua pushed his c.h.e.s.t away as she replied, "I didn''t ask for a kiss in the middle of eating."


    "Eat your food." Liu Longwei said to her as he rubbed her shoulders, before picking up his cutlery.


    Chen Lihua glanced at him one more time before going back to eating.


    After dinner, the two knew they couldn''t just go straight to bed as they had some calls to return, so they set out to their bedroom, but first of all, they branched somewhere to the out their son.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei walked into their son''s bedroom and saw him sleeping peacefully on his bed.


    A smile naturally bloomed on their faces as they walked closer to the little boy''s bed.


    "I want to cuddle with him." Chen Lihua said in a hushed tone as she c.a.r.e.s.sed her son''s face with a doting smile on her face.


    "What about me?." Liu Longwei asked in a low tone.


    "Taio''s body is soft, but yours? It''s otherwise." Chen Lihua replied to him.


    "Are you saying you don''t like my body again? But you used to touch my c.h.e.s.t and say you like how rock hard it is, and my abs too, what happened?." Liu Longwei said to her with a deep frown on his face.


    Chen Lihua glared at him before dragging him out of the bedroom.


    "What do you think you were talking about in there? Our son was right there, did you want him to hear us?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "What''s there to be afraid of? You haven''t answered my question." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Of course I like your body, but sometimes I want to hug my baby''s soft body to sleep." Chen Lihua replied with a hand on her waist.


    "Really? You are not satisfied with my body anymore." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua refused to reply to him as she started to walk away from his presence, but the next monument, he lifted her in his arms and kissed he cheeks before carrying her away.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t get angry with him. She laughed out loud as she watched that scowl sitting on his face.


    "You dare to laugh at me?." Liu Longwei asked as he used the steps to the last floor.

 Chapter 522 - Now you know I am your Darling

    Chen Lihua couldn''t get angry with him. She laughed out loud as she watched that scowl sitting on his face.


    "You dare to laugh at me?." Liu Longwei asked as he used the steps to the last floor.


    Chen Lihua could only hug his neck while laughing as he carried her into his bedroom.


    Walking into the bedroom, he placed her on the bed and attempted climbing on her body, but she rolled away and stood on the floor.


    "What are you afraid of, where are you running to?." Liu Longwei asked as he chuckled in a low tone with his gaze on her. He found her actions funny.


    Before he could jump on her, she already rolled away with lightning speed. Her actions were indeed funny to him.


    "So you wanted me to lie there while you climb on top of me? Are you Taio? No, you are not, you are Liu Longwei the insatiable beast." Chen Lihua retorted as she made funny faces at him.


    Liu Longwei stood there and watched with a helpless smile on his face. He had his hands on his waist with that helpless gaze on her.


    "Sweetheart, come over here." He said beckoning on her to come to his side as he gestured with his hand, but Chen Lihua rejected his request by shaking her head like a little child.


    Seeing that she had no plans of coming to him, he took two steps towards her side, but who knew that Chen Lihua would take two steps backward.


    Liu Longwei stopped in his tracks when he noticed her actions.


    "I just want to have a good talk with you, why are you running away?." He asked with a smile.


    "You want to talk? Well, since you want to talk to me, you can stand there and talk, because I can hear you from there, my ears are not damaged." Chen Lihua said to him as she folded her arms.


    "If I catch you, you will be the one begging me."


    "How will you catch me?." Chen Lihua asked with a challenging glare directed at him.


    "Watch and see. I am a hunter, and you are my prey." Liu Longwei said to her before proceeding to her side in hurried steps.


    Chen Lihua didn''t have the time to retort, because she saw his figure flashing to her side, so she quickly moved away. But as there was no way out for her, she quickly climbed on top of the bed, with the confidence that he wouldn''t climb the bed just like she did, but she was wrong.


    Liu Longwei seeing her on top of the bed stopped chasing her as he asked with narrowed eyes, "Do you think you''re safe?."


    "Well, I am." Chen Lihua replied with a confident smile.


    Before Chen Lihua could blink twice, she saw him diving towards her, but it was already too late to run, because he caught her in the next second after he dived, thereby pulling her to the bed.


    Chen Lihua struggled to free herself from his grip, but he held unto her tightly as his legs locked her lower body like an octopus ???? clinging unto something.


    "I caught you... Where do you think you are going to?." Liu Longwei bit her ear as he asked with a teasing tone, with his hands, wrapped around her body, just below her b.o.o.b.s.


    "Longwei, please let me go." Chen Lihua pleased with him with a smile all over her face. She was laughing really hard as his breath teased her neck.


    "Now you err begging me, but I don''t want to let you go. I have to keep my promise by punishing you, otherwise, I will become a man that doesn''t keep his promise." Liu Longwei said as he bit her neck.


    "Ah...." That was the sound that came from Chen Lihua''s lips when she was bitten.


    "Longwei, you are so shameless to talk this way. You want to punish your wife?." Chen Lihua asked as she continued to struggle in his hold.


    "Who is Longwei? Even in this situation, you don''t even know how to address me, are you sure you want me to release you?." Liu Longwei asked as he secured her body in place. She could only wriggle, but not out of his embrace.


    "Is your name not Longwei? Do you have some other name I don''t know about?." Chen Lihua asked.


    Liu Longwei stiffened with his hold on her. Her question was harmless because she was just asking that question to tease him, but it reminded him of something, but he quickly regained himself.


    "Who knows, I might have some other name. But you know what I''m talking about, don''t try to play tricks on me." Liu Longwei said to her as he kissed her neck.


    Chen Lihua shrank her neck with the sudden kiss. "If you don''t explain what you mean, how can I cooperate?." Chen Lihua asked. She didn''t even notice that her husband''s facial expression changed when she asked if he had another name.


    "I can see that you are enjoying this, so why don''t I hold you in my embrace to sleep?." Liu Longwei said as he nibbled on her neck.


    "Have you forgotten that we have to phone our families before they get worried sick?." Chen Lihua asked as she chuckles softly.


    Liu Longwei''s kisses were starting to drive her insane.


    "That can come later after I must have ravished my desert." Liu Longwei said as he stuck out his hot tongue and licked her neck. Chen Lihua shivered when she felt that hot and wet stuff on her neck.


    "Okay, I give up. Darling, can you let me go now?." She asked as she tried to struggle with him, but he locked her body tightly.


    "Oh! now you know I am your Darling? If you continue to move, I can''t promise you that I will let you go." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears.

 Chapter 523 - Time to return calls

    "Okay, I give up. Darling, can you let me go now?." She asked as she tried to struggle with him, but he locked her body tightly.


    "Oh! now you know I am your Darling? If you continue to move, I can''t promise you that I will let you go." Liu Longwei whispered to her ears.


    Now it was Chen Lihua''s turn to stiffen. She could feel the hard stuff that was pressing on her butts, and of course, she knew what it was. It was the stuff that causes her to scream in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e as directed by its owner.


    Chen Lihua obediently kept calm and stopped struggling in his embrace.


    Liu Longwei was finding everything funny. Look at his cute wife that was now lying obediently in his embrace.


    "Now tell me the truth, who''s your body do you prefer?." He whispered to her ear as he threatened her silently.


    He pressed his hard her b.u.t.t and continued to kiss her neck and earlobe.


    Chen Lihua got the threat. She knew if she didn''t give him a satisfactory response, that thing that was poking her butts will teach her a lesson, a lesson she wasn''t ready to learn.


    So, she didn''t need to think about her response. "I love your body the most."


    "Good. But it took you time to reply, so I''m going to have to punish you a bit." Liu Longwei said as he bit her earlobe before changing positions again. Now, he was sitting on her with her back against the bed.


    "Darling, what kind of punishment is that?." Chen Lihua asked as he put all his wait on her.


    "I just want to kiss you, you are so beautiful and irresistible in this red nightwear." Liu Longwei said to her, and without allowing her to respond, he lowered his face to kiss her, after he released some of his weight off her body.


    Ten minutes later, Liu Longwei released her. Just like he said, he wanted to kiss her as punishment, and so that was all he did.


    Chen Lihua''s neck, collarbone, and b.o.o.b.s were decorated with red kiss marks.


    Honestly, she enjoyed his kisses.


    Liu Longwei helped her to wear her night robe before getting off the bed.


    "Please pass my phone to me." Chen Lihua said to him as she c.a.r.e.s.sed her neck.


    "It''s time to return all the calls." Liu Longwei said as he picked their phones and passed hers to her.


    "Wow! there are a lot of them from the same people. You''re lucky you aren''t seeing what I''m seeing." Liu Longwei said with his eyes glued to his phone.


    "That''s wonderful." Chen Lihua said as she turned on her phone.


    Liu Longwei first called his mother, who has been impatiently waiting for his call.


    "Son, why are you only calling back now?." Madam Liu Bilu asked in a worried tone.


    "Mum, I had to spend some time with my wife and son, and eat." Liu Longwei replied with his gaze on his wife.


    Chen Lihua smiled at him, as she was having fun watching him answer a series of questions.


    "Are you with your wife? put the phone on loudspeaker." Madam Liu instructed, and Liu Longwei did as she said.


    "Lihua, how are you? How is the baby?." Madam Liu inquired?


    Chen Lihua smiled as she greeted her mother-in-law before replying to her questions.


    "You two are so naughty. You didn''t even inform us of the good news and we had to learn it from the news." Madam Liu said to them.


    "We are sorry mum." Chen Lihua apologized with a smile.


    "Well, it''s alright. Congratulations to you too!!! Call your mother, because she is very worried about you. She has phoned me like 5 times already." Madam Liu revealed to them.


    Just before the call ended, Liu Bilu inquired about her grandson, and Chen Lihua''s health status, then she ended the call after she asked them to go for checkups and to be serious with it.


    "Now it''s time to call your mum." Liu Longwei said to her with a smiling gaze.


    "Oh no! please so the calling, I don''t want someone screaming in my ears." Chen Lihua grunted as she there her phone to his side.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly with that. childish look on her face. He knew the reason she didn''t want to make the call because he knew his mother-in-law very well. She would scold his wife a little before wanting to hear anything else.


    "What do I get in return for making the call?." Liu Longwei asked with his gaze on her.


    "You can''t help me without asking for something in return?." Chen Lihua asked as she picked up a pillow and hit his arm with it.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly at her annoyed gaze as he leaned away.


    "Alright, I will do it for free." He said, totally giving in to her.


    Right after his promise, he passed her phone back to her before using his phone to make the call. And in one ring, Lady Chen answered the call.


    Lady Chen managed to finish her dinner after her husband convinced her to eat because she has been waiting for her daughter and Son-in-law to phone her back, but they didn''t, so she was anxious.


    After eating, she was currently ranting and saying her Unfilial Chen Lihua was.


    "I can''t believe I gave birth to an unfilial daughter. I''m telling you that I know who I gave birth to. She deliberately turned off her phone so she wouldn''t have to hear me. Now, her husband is indulging her, he doesn''t answer my call as well." Lady Chen complained.


    Chen K and his son exchanged glances before one of them decided to speak up.


    "Ju Ju, this is the same reason Lihua wouldn''t answer your calls. you disturb a lot. Tell, me, what do you want to say to her if she calls you now?." Chen K asked as he fixed his gaze on her.


    "Of course I would want to know the reason she hid her pregnant from us, and only let us know along with everybody else in the world." Lady Chen replied with a frown.

 Chapter 524 - Earth-Shattering noise

    "Of course I would want to know the reason she hid her pregnant from us, and only let us know along with everybody else in the world." Lady Chen replied with a frown.


    "You see. For this reason, do you think she will bother to keep her phone on for you to disturb her?." Chen K asked.


    "Are you saying that I am unbearable?." Lady Chen asked in an irritable tone.


    Chen Weiyuan took out his phone from his pocket to keep himself company. His parents were busy arguing, and he didn''t want to partake in it. He also couldn''t leave the living area otherwise all attention would be on him, and Lady Chen would drag him into the matter.


    "Did I say that?." Chen K asked with his hands spread out.


    "Stay away from me." Lady Chen said while pointing at him before shifting some distance away from him.


    Looking at her childish actions, Chen K was speechless. As for Chen Weiyuan, he regretted the fact that he didn''t record the scene just now.


    He forced himself to keep a cool manner after seeing his mother''s actions. If he laughed, Lady Chen would accuse him of ridiculing her, and then he would be in trouble.


    Just like Madam Liu, Lady Chen asked Liu Longwei to put his phone on the loudspeaker, so Chen Lihua could hear her.


    "Lihua, are you avoiding your mother?." Lady Chen asked.


    "Who says I''m avoiding you?. I was just taking a rest and didn''t want to be disturbed." Chen Lihua replied as she placed the pillows on the bed appropriately.


    There was silence for a while, and when everybody thought Lady Chen would explode, she sighed before speaking up again.


    She asked about health and how she was coping. Not forgetting her grandson, she wanted to speak with him, but the little guy was already asleep.


    Lady Chen spent more time with them on the phone, telling Chen Lihua what to avoid doing during her pregnancy.


    She was worried because of the problem her daughter suffered during Taio''s birth.


    Chen Lihua was tired of listening to her, so she yawned.


    "Mum, I''m tired and want to sleep now. I have work tomorrow, let''s talk later. Greet Dad and Brother Weiyuan." Chen Lihua said as her head hit the pillow.


    "Good night." Lady Chen said and Liu Longwei replied to her since Chen Lihua had her eyes closed already.


    keeping his phone aside and turning off the lights, Liu Longwei slid into the blanket and borough Chen Lihua closer to his c.h.e.s.t.


    "Tired?." He asked in a soft tone as he hugged her waist with his left hand.


    "Mmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply as she spared him a glance before shutting her eyes again.


    "Sleep." Liu Longwei said to her as he patted her back.


    While they were sleeping, something else was happening in another location.


    Since Zie Yu saw the news, she hasn''t been alright. She was asked to come to the dining area to have her dinner by her father.


    Initially, when the servants came to call her for dinner, she didn''t respond to them. But when their voices were starting to irritate her, she threw something at her door while screaming she wasn''t hungry and wanted to be alone.


    The servants reported to Mr. Zie who was still working in his study.


    "If I get to the dining area before her, I will freeze all her accounts."


    Zie Yu was angry that her father was still threatening her in this situation, but she had no choice but to go down for dinner.


    At the dining area, different varieties of foods were placed on the table, but none of them caught Zie Yu''s eyes, because she was not in a good mood.


    Sitting down, Zie Yu had a big scowl on her face.


    A servant came to pour her a glass of water, and she was staring at the servant like she wanted to swallow her whole.


    The servant saw herself apologizing for what she didn''t know about.


    After filling her glass with water, the servant stepped several steps away from the hazard zone.


    Just when Zie Yu was trying to manage her anger, something shred the last but of a patient she had.


    She saw on the Tv about the Interview Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had earlier that day. Now, the news broadcast has carried the news, showing a few clips from the Interview.


    The servants had ugly expressions on their faces when they saw the news. They all knew the reason their young Miss was moody, now seeing something that reminded her of the incident, they didn''t want to see any madness happen, but it was too late to wish because right at that moment, Zie Yu swept mist of the food on the dining table to the floor as she screamed.


    As the ceramic plates and bowls made contact with the tiled floor, it created an earth-shattering noise.


    The servants covered their ears with their hands because of the noise.


    After causing a mess, Zie Yu didn''t even care, she left the dining area after not seeing what else to destroy. She ran back to her room and locked the door.


    The servants were still in shock with Zie Yu''s actions. They glanced at themselves with horror on their faces.


    Now, what will they do? Their Master was about coming down for dinner, what will they say to him? That his live-struck daughter was angry and ruined his dinner? What a lame excuse. They might be punished as well.

 Chapter 525 - Punishment for ruining his dinner

    The servants were still in shock with Zie Yu''s actions. They glanced at themselves with horror on their faces.


    Now, what will they do? Their Master was about coming down for dinner, what will they say to him? That his love-struck daughter was angry and ruined his dinner? What a lame excuse. They might be punished as well.


    But first thing first, they knew they had to clear the mess, and it might take them up to half an hour (30 minutes) to return the glory of the dining area.


    Five minutes later as the servants all put a hand to clear the mess, they heard an authoritative tone ask from behind them.


    "What happened here?!."


    The servants all froze when they heard their Master''s voice. They all paused with whatever they were doing and stood to their feet. Bowing to him in greeting, there was no response from him.


    The Chief servant knew she had to speak, so she picked up courage and replied to him.


    "Young Miss swept the food away in anger."


    "What nonsense! What made her sweep my food away?!." Mr. Zie asked in anger.


    It could be seen that he wasn''t in a good mood this evening.


    The Chief servant kept her head low as the other servants before replying to him. She made sure to try as much as possible to brief the incident.


    "Nonsense! How can she love a married man who had a child already?!. What a lame excuse! Go and bring her here. If she refuses to come with you, drag her here." Mr. Zie instructed as he raged on.


    The servant bowed and left hurriedly, while the other servants continued to clean the dining area.


    Mr. Zie walked to the living room to sit angrily while waiting for his daughter to be brought to him. He already asked a servant to bring a cane for him, he was ready to whip her.


    The servant sent to call Zie Yu, met with a defense. Zie Yu''s door was already locked, and she wasn''t responding to her calls.


    "Young Miss, Master is calling you." The servant said as she knocked on the door but received no response.


    The servant knew that Zie Yu would never open the door for her after spending some time knocking on her door, she went back to report to Mr. Zie.


    "She dares to ignore my instructions? it looks like I have spoiled her too much to the extent that she doesn''t give me face anymore. Good! What a good daughter I raised. Tell her she is grounded for a month and all her cards are frozen. She is only permitted to eat once a day." Mr. Zie said in a cit of anger before walking away, but the servant stopped him as she asked him if he still wanted to eat, but she received a glare from him.


    "Do I look like I''m still in the mood to eat?." Mr. Zie said before walking away.


    The Servant breathes a sigh of relief before going to join the others to tidy up the dining area.


    "What a waste." One of the servants said as she glanced at the amount of food wasted by Zie Yu.


    "I am shocked the young Miss ruined Master''s dinner." Another servant spoke.


    "Sister, did you see the young miss?." Another servant asked the Chief Servant.


    "How would I see her? Do you think the young miss is a fool to open her door and allow me to drag her to her father to be flogged? She wouldn''t want to lose face, so she would rather endure the greater punishment." The Chief Servant replied as she picked up the pieces of broken plates.


    Although Zie Yu was very annoyed not to care about anything, she still had something she cared about, her pride.


    Earlier at the dining area, she was very pissed. She was already sad with the fact that Liu Longwei was married to a woman that wasn''t her, and already had a child with her. And as if that wasn''t enough they had another child on the way. Wasn''t this a slap to her face?


    Zie Yu knew her father would be angry with her for ruining his dinner, so she had to escape. She would be a fool to submit herself to be punished.


    She couldn''t even imagine herself being punished while the servants watched, she would never allow that, so she would rather stay in her room and await her father''s punishment for going against his others.


    "But I really don''t understand the young miss. Why does she still have her heart over a married now?."


    "You don''t know? Young Miss used to date Mr. Liu, and they broke up over a year before Mr. Liu got married." Another servant replied to her.


    "No wonder she still doesn''t want to let him go. A handsome and successful man like Mr. Liu who has made it to the Forbes list numerous times is actually worth dying for."


    "With Young Miss''s character, do you think she would last in any relationship? She doesn''t even have any good side."


    "Enough. Just shut your mouth and clean up this mess." The Chief servant said after cautioning them.


    Mr. Zie went back to his study and sat on the chair with his fists on his jaw. He was still fuming and felt like smashing something, but he couldn''t because everything in the house came from his sweat.


    Earlier today, he just lost a bid to a rival company. He had worked hard to try and secure the bid only to be snatched away at the last minute by his rivals.


    He was aware the business world was like this, but he was a human being with emotions, so he was allowed to be annoyed.


    He knew life had to move on, so he asked the kitchen to cook up a feast, so he could eat with his daughter, while he worked in his study for a while.


    When he heard his daughter said she didn''t want dinner, he was annoyed with her and had to force her to come down for dinner.

 Chapter 526 - Obedient Taio

    When he heard his daughter said she didn''t want dinner, he was annoyed with her and had to force her to come down for dinner.


    Just a few days ago, he noticed his daughter has been moody, but he hadn''t the time to ask her about anything because he was preparing seriously for the bidding.


    Now that he lost the bidding and wanted to have dinner with her to relax his mind, she ruined their dinner because she was infatuated with a married man.


    He has repeatedly warned her to give up on Liu Longwei and accept the proposal of others, but she refused to pay attention to him. It looks like he would have to find a partner for her.


    For over a month, Zie Yu served her punishment never seeing the light of day. For the food matter, it only lasted for a week before proper meals were now served to her.


    A brand new day arrived and Chen Lihua got ready to leave for the hospital. Liu Longwei already left for his office a little while ago.


    Chen Lihua was having breakfast when Taio came to her. When he approached her in his steady steps, he immediately stretched his hands to her for a hug.


    Chen Lihua abandoned the food she was eating and lifted him to sit on her t.h.i.g.hs before hugging him with a smile on her face.


    "I missed my baby." Chen Lihua said with a smile on her face as she cuddled her little guy.


    Just this morning, he was already exhibiting his cuteness which could not be ignored.


    "Did you miss mum?." Chen Lihua released him a little as she asked with a doting gaze.


    Taio nodded in response, then Chen Lihua asked him for a kiss, and the little guy kissed her cheeks without delay.


    "Awwwnnn..." Chen Lihua blushed as she hugged him again. She kissed his cheeks and forehead. Not being able to resist his soft cheeks, she pinched them gently.


    "You''ve had your bath already, open your mouth." Chen Lihua said to him as she brought a spoon of food to his mouth.


    Taio glanced at the food his mother was giving to him to see if it was something he likes. Confirming it was to his taste, he opened his mouth, and Chen Lihua sent the food into his mouth.


    "Good boy." Chen Lihua cheered him on as he ate the food obediently.


    Chen Lihua fed him while eating, and when his Nanny came over to take him, she sent her away, as she wanted to spend a little time with her child before leaving for the office.


    "Taio, you have been obedient lately, so I will take you to the toy store this evening." Chen Lihua said to him, but Taio only glanced at her without words.


    Of lately, Taio has been obedient and Chen Lihua didn''t know the reason. It was unlike Taio to miss causing trouble each day if eyes were taken off him for a minute. But these days, he has been obedient, so Chen Lihua was happy and wanted to reward him for it.


    ''Does he really know he will have a younger sibling soon, so he is trying to be calm?.'' Chen Lihua thought.


    Chen Lihua made sure her son was well fed before she left for work.


    "Taio, say bye to me." Chen Lihua said as she waved her hand to him ????, but Liu Taio Wei ignored her and pretended not to have seen her gesture.


    Looking at his actions, Chen Lihua didn''t know if she should cry or laugh. She knew he either wanted her to stay or take him along, but he refused to say anything, so he was ignoring her.


    Chen Lihua smiled and decided to walk back to his side. "Taio, mummy will be back before you know it. I will come back on time to play with you okay?."


    Liu Taio had a cute expression on his face as he gazes at her, before slowly nodding his head.


    "Good boy." Chen Lihua said as she happily pecked his lips before hugging him.


    "Okay, mummy has to run along now, see you soon." Chen Lihua said to him as she waved at him ????, and he also did the same as he said goodbye to her in a soft tone.


    Chen Lihua could not get over his cute looks, but she knew she had to hurry or she would be late, so she blew kisses at him before walking away.


    Taio glanced at his mother''s figure till it disappeared, and only then did he allow his Nanny to hold his hand.


    "Little Wei, your mother has gone to work, but don''t worry, she will be back soon. Come and watch the Tv." His Nanny said to him as she guided him to the living room and put the TV on for him.


    On her way to the Office, she phoned Liu Longwei who was already on his way to the meeting room when she called.


    "Darling, will you be available by 4 PM today, I want to take Taio on a shooting spree, and we would be glad if you could join us if you have the time to spare?."


    "4 PM? I will take a look at my schedule and get back to you. Why do you want to spoil your son today?." Liu Longwei asked with a smile.


    "He has been very obedient for a long while now, so I want to reward him." Chen Lihua said as she overtook a car. She was currently driving the latest baby Liu Longwei bought for her.


    "Okay. I will join you guys. Where should we meet?." Liu Longwei inquired. Since the wide wanted his presence, of course, he would make himself available.


    "What if you have something on at that time?." Chen Lihua asked in a worried tone.


    "It doesn''t matter. I will be there." Liu Longwei promised.


    "Okay. Let''s meet at home." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "I love you." Liu Longwei said to her in a loving tone.


    "I love you more, bye." Chen Lihua said to before terminating the call.


    Earlier, she connected her phone to her car''s blue tooth, so it would be easy for her to talk to him, and now the conversation was over, she disconnected it and increased her speed to beat time.

 Chapter 527 - Bubble Bath

    When Chen Lihua got to the hospital, she took the elevator straight to her office floor. She kept receiving glances from the doctors and nurses, and also from some of the patients and visitors that recognized.


    Chen Lihua didn''t mind, after all, she just appeared on the news last night so she brought this upon herself.


    Walking into her office, Chen Lihua saw some gift cards and card boxes. She. would very guess they were congratulatory cards and gifts.


    She smiled and went to her desk to put her bag down. Next, she picked up the cards on the table and glanced at a few of them with a smile on her face. Her guesses were right, so she called someone in to pack the cards and gifts in one corner of her office.


    Putting on her white coat, she sat down on the seat and got to work. Throughout her day in the office, she received more congratulatory messages verbally and materially from her co-workers.


    Around 3:30 PM, Chen Lihua phoned Liu Longwei to remind him of their scheduled meeting, to which he responded positively.


    Chen Lihua started packing her things and got ready to leave. She called one of the two bodyguards that were assigned to look after her, up to her office to carry the gifts and cards she received.


    Liu Longwei was almost choked up with work, so the next minute he glanced at his wristwatch, he saw that he only had a few minutes before 4 PM, so he picked up the rest of his unfinished work and put them in his bad before leaving his office.


    "Taio! My baby missed me." Chen Lihua said with a smile as she hugged his back.


    "Mum..." Taio called out as he put in a lot of effort staring at her from the low position.


    Chen Lihua knew his neck would be in discomfort soon if he continued to stare at her because of their height difference, so she lifted him in her arms.


    Taio''s Nanny came over and greeted Chen Lihua, then she stretched her arms out to take Taio from her, but the little guy hid in his mother''s embrace and refused to go with his Nanny.


    "I will take it from here." Chen Lihua said as she passed her bag to the servant that came out to welcome her.


    She instructed another servant to call another person to take the stuff she brought with her from the offices to the living room on the top floor.


    Then with her son in her arms, she took the elevator to the top floor and went into her bedroom.


    The servant kept her bag on the table in her room before leaving.


    Chen Lihua sat on the bed with Taio in her arms and played a little with him.


    "Taio, what did you learn today." Chen Lihua asked him with a brilliant smile on her face.


    "Mummy, Daddy," Taio replied.


    "You learned how to call Mummy and Daddy? I don''t believe that, you already know how to do that. Okay, tell me, what did you do today?." Chen Lihua asked him since he didn''t seem to understand her first question.


    "I ate food. Watched some cartoon. I took a nap, ate food, and played with my toys." Taio replied with a smile.


    "Wow! you did so many things today. Clap for yourself." Chen Lihua said to him with an encouraging smile as she watched the little guy applaud himself.


    "Good boy, give Mummy a kiss." Chen Lihua said to him, and she received a kiss on her cheek almost immediately.


    "Mummy, where is daddy?." Taio asked with a curious gaze.


    "Your dad will be home soon, and guess what? We are taking you to buy new toys for you, isn''t that amazing?." Chen Lihua asked in an excited tone.


    "Yeah...!." Taio said with a big smile on his face as he clapped his hands together in an excited manner.


    "Taio, let''s go and wash up while waiting for daddy to come back okay?." Chen Lihua said to him as she stood up from her bed and also made him stand on her bed after removing his flip-flops.


    While bathing him in the bathtub, Taio received to stay at a place and kept playing with the foams that formed from the soap ????  lather. He was enjoying a bubble bath.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t resist his cuteness, so she played with him for a while, and ended up getting her blouse stained with the soapy water.


    At last, Chen Lihua managed to way the little guy up. And because she had some of his things in her bedroom, it was easy to take care of him.


    She dried his body with his small white towel, and after that, she wrapped him up with another towel and carried him out of the bathroom, only to meet Liu Longwei.


    "Darling, you are back?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she walked towards her bed and placed Taio on it, with the towel still wrapped around his n.a.k.e.d body.


    "Yeah, I just came back now." Liu Longwei replied as she approached his wife and son.


    He kissed Chen Lihua on her cheeks as they exchanged a short hug before he lifted his son with the towel around his body.


    "Daddy!." Taio called out excitedly. He had this cute smile sitting on his face while staring at his father.


    "Hey! little man." Liu Longwei said to him as he pinched his cheeks gently while the other hand secured him in his embrace.


    "Darling, please help him get dressed, his things are in my closet." Chen Lihua pleaded with Liu Longwei as she pointed at the door to her walk-in closet.


    "Okay." Liu Longwei agreed and received a kiss on his lips.


    "Thanks!." Chen Lihua said to him as she flashed him a sweet smile. She c.a.r.e.s.sed her son''s cheeks before walking into the bathroom.

 Chapter 528 - Enough time to cause disaster

    "Okay." Liu Longwei agreed and received a kiss on his lips.


    "Thanks!." Chen Lihua said to him as she flashed him a sweet smile. She c.a.r.e.s.sed her son''s cheeks before walking into the bathroom.


    Watching his wife walk away in a rush with his son in his arms, Liu Longwei retracted his gaze after she disappeared from his sight.


    Turning to his son, he said before walking into his wife''s walk-in closet. "Now let''s get you dressed up."


    You need to see the way Liu Longwei struggled to apply some cream on his son''s body. The little guy couldn''t stay at a place and walking all over the room with curious gazes.


    At times, he stared at his mother''s colorful clothes, bags, and shows, and sometimes he would go-ahead to touch the ones his hands could reach.


    "Liu Wei, come over here." Liu Longwei instructed as he beckoned on him. The n.a.k.e.d little guy only stared at him before slowly making his way towards him.


    "Now, who knows if I would have to fix your diaper for you. Come, and let''s go and ask mum." Liu Longwei said as he lifted the little guy in his arms and opened the direct door leading to the bathroom.


    "Sweetheart?." Liu Longwei called out with his n.a.k.e.d son in his arms.


    Chen Lihua was currently using the shower, so the glass-covered her. And with the water rushing, she couldn''t hear properly. But since she heard a voice, she turned off the shower and peeped from the glass.


    "Why is my son still n.a.k.e.d?." Chen Lihua asked with a surprised gaze on the father and son.


    "I am kind of in a dilemma now. Should I fix the diaper on him?." Liu Longwei asked with his gaze on her. Also, there was a pair of bright little eyes staring at Chen Lihua.


    "Mum?." Taio called out as well.


    Chen Lihua smiled and waves ???? a little at him. She was hiding her n.a.k.e.d body behind the glass, and so only her face and a part of her hand could be seen.


    Turning to Liu Longwei, she replied. "Use the diaper. He''s still little and would need that for a while."


    "Okay." Then turning his gaze to Taio, he said to him, "Say bye to Mum" and the little guy obeyed.


    "Bye baby." Chen Lihua said as she blew him a kiss. Taio smiled surely ???? at his mum''s actions.


    Finally, Liu Longwei separated the mother and son. Back in the closet, he dressed his son up as quickly as possible because he felt he was too young for his body to be exposed to the chilling AC in the room.


    When Chen Lihua came into the walk-in closet, Liu Longwei was already done dressing Taio.


    "He looks so cute in this outfit." Chen Lihua said as she gushed over her little bundle of happiness.


    "His outfit is still incomplete. We will be back soon." Liu Longwei said with a satisfied smile as he lifted Taio and walked away.


    Chen Lihua was wearing a black leather skirt, white singlet, and a black leather jacket. She wore a pair of boots, and right now, she was sitting in front of the mirror and packing her hair in a bun.


    Liu Longwei returned with the fully dressed Taio in his arms. He put him down before leaving Chen Lihua to watch over him.


    "Alright, go and wash up." Chen Lihua said before he disappeared from her view.


    Now glancing at her son who walked to her side with his hands on her t.h.i.g.hs, she said to him, "Your father really knows how to dress you up."


    Taio just laughed shyly at her and looked away.


    Taio was dressed in a polo and jeans. He had a face cap on his head, and a pair of sneakers covering his little feet.


    Chen Lihua pinched his chubby cheeks before glancing back at the mirror to try and fix her makeup.


    After fixing her face a little, she picked up her dark red lipstick ???? under the watchful gaze of Taio and smeared it on her lips.


    Taio looked interested in what she was doing, so he stretched his hand to reach out for the makeup kit she left on the table, but she was fast enough to catch his little hand in time.


    "Don''t touch it." Chen Lihua said to him with her gaze on him. Taio only spared her a glance before taking his hand off her grasp.


    Seeing that he was quiet and was only gazing at the makeup kit and not touching it, she ignored him as well, and continue to fix her lipstick.


    After she was through with that section, she was about to make her makeup items back into the bag when her phone rang. She left her phone in her bedroom, so she had to go and get it.


    While standing up from the stool, she said to Taio. "Taio doesn''t touch anything, be a good boy, I will be right back."


    She didn''t want for him to respond before she left him alone inside the walk-in closet to pick up her phone.


    Knowing that he was still a child and shouldn''t be left alone, she had in mind to pick her phone and return to the walk-in closet, but who knew the few seconds it took her to return was enough for Taio to cause a big disaster?


    Seeing that his mother had left, Taio glanced at the makeup items scattered on the table, and his eyes glanced at the lipstick ????  his mother had just used, so he stretched his little hand and picked it up. Then remembering the image of his mother painting her lips, he copied her. But what was funny was that this little guy totally missed his lips and went ahead to paint a little part of his lips after pouting them, and then the rest went to his cheeks.


    Because of his height, he really couldn''t see his face in the mirror, so he could only rely on his instinct.

 Chapter 529 - I didnt hit you, you offended me first

    Seeing that his mother had left, Taio glanced at the makeup items scattered on the table, and his eyes glanced at the lipstick ????  his mother had just used, so he stretched his shorthand and picked it up. Then remembering the image of his mother painting her lips, he copied her. But what was funny was that this little guy totally missed his lips and went ahead to paint a little part of his lips after pouting them, and then the rest went to his cheeks.


    Because of his height, he really couldn''t see his face in the mirror, so he could only rely on his instinct.


    But when he heard his mother''s approaching footsteps and her voice on the phone, He quickly tried to put the lipstick back from where he got it from, but he ended up causing a disaster.


    He tripped, and his hand hit the makeup items off the table, causing a lot of noise.


    Chen Lihua heard the noise and hurried inside the room to check on her son only to be surprised by the scene before her.


    Her little son was staring at the mess he caused with confusion on his face. Hearing his mother''s footsteps in the room, he quickly looked over.


    Currently, Chen Lihua and Taio were exchanging glances. There was a dangerous look on Chen Lihua''s face, and Taio knew his mother would scold him, so he glanced at the mess and squat before starting to pick them up.


    "I will call you back." Chen Lihua said to the person at the other end of the phone before terminating the call.


    "Taio!." Chen Lihua screamed his name as she glared at him.


    Taio fidgeted when he heard his mother''s loud tone.


    Right at this moment Liu Longwei walked into the bedroom and saw Che Lihua standing at the door to her walk-in closet and staring at something with an ugly expression on her face.


    He walked towards her as he asked, "What''s going on?."


    Chen Lihua glanced at him without saying anything.


    Liu Longwei knew she was very annoyed since she wasn''t saying anything so he decided to find things out for himself.


    When he walked into the closet, lo and behold, he saw his little son squatting and trying to pick up the mess on the floor.


    He called out, ''Taio?'' and Taio glanced at him with that red-stained face. Liu Longwei was surprised to see that state he was in, so he glanced at Chen Lihua, but she was staring at her son like she wanted to spank his b.u.t.t.


    After glancing at his father, he looked back to the mess he caused and continued picking up the broken things.


    He glanced at his shirt, and his next instinct was to clean his palms on his shirt, but his father stopped him.


    Liu Longwei called out to him as he walked towards him to help him up.


    "Sweetheart, I need a hand here." Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua was still looking so grumpy.


    "There is no need for this shopping, so why don''t we cancel it? I just stepped out to get my phone, and just before I could get back, he already caused this mess." Chen Lihua said while glaring at Taio.


    Taio understanding that his mother was unhappy with him, looked away.


    "Sweetheart, calm down." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Hiw can I calm down? Just look at his face. He broke my things and caused a mess in my room. I told him not to touch anything, I need to spank his b.u.t.t to teach him a lesson." Chen Lihua said as she walked towards the father and son.


    Liu Longwei shielded Taio from her as he continued asking her to calm down.


    Chen Lihua glared at Liu Longwei. She was angry with him that he was stopping her from teaching their son a lesson.


    "Just calm down okay?." Liu Longwei said as he placed his hands on her shoulders.


    Chen Lihua stared at him for a few seconds before sighing. She turned to her table to pick up some wipes, while Liu Longwei pulled Taio to stand in front of him.


    Seeing that guilty look on his face, Liu Longwei squat and helped his hands. Staring into his eyes, he said, "You disobeyed Mummy, and you broke her things and caused a mess as well. You should apologize to Mummy, come on, say, ''I''m sorry.''"


    Taio fiddled with his fingers before looking up at his father. He still had that lipstick stain on his lips and face. Then slowly, he glanced at Chen Lihua who was holding the wipes in her hand.


    "Mummy, I''m sorry," Taio said in a low tone.


    Chen Lihua ignored him as she took his little hand in hers and wiped the powder stain with a frown on her face. When she was through with the other hand, she took the other one as well, before going the lipstick stain off his face.


    Taio was feeling bad that his mother didn''t reply to him, so immediately his eyes became teary. And before you know it, tears started to roll down his cheeks.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t stand it again, as he squats beside the mother and son.


    "Sweetheart he has apologized already, say something to him. Look, he is crying because you ignored him."


    Chen Lihua used the wipes picked up to dap his tears. "Taio, don''t cry, I didn''t hit you. You offended me first."


    Liu Longwei was speechless. When he asked her to say something to him, he didn''t mean she should use harsh words or scold him, he meant she should accept his apology and say sweet words to him so he could stop crying. But what did she do? She was still blaming him.


    Taio sniffed and started making muffled noises. Chen Lihua stared at him and didn''t know if she should continue to be angry or to placate him. But she chose the latter.


    She consoled him as she wiped his tears. She hugged him and kissed his plump cheeks.


    Seeing that everything was mostly settled, Liu Longwei stepped out to call the servants to clean up the messed-up room.

 Chapter 530 - Fascinated by the gummy bears

    Chen Lihua wore her earrings and picked up her sun shades, then holding her son''s hand, they stepped out of the walk-in closet.


    The family of three took the elevator and went downstairs, where Taio''s Nanny handed his bag over to them.


    The bag contained his water, snacks, and some other necessities he might need.


    The family of three left for the toy store with an entourage of four bodyguards.


    Earlier that morning, Chen Lihua made a reservation at the store, so they wouldn''t have to meet other people while they shopped.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei held Taio''s hand as they entered the Children''s mall. The family of three was taken to the toy section, so Taio could make his pick.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei also checked the toys out to see anyone that might be suitable for their son.


    Taio was still young, but he really knew what he wanted. Chen Lihua allowed him to walk around as he was tailed by one of the bodyguards. She instructed them to touch whatever he wanted, and not to pick it up by themselves.


    When Chen Lihua was done checking things out, on her side, she saw a pack of building blocks, so she picked it up.


    "It would be fun to play this with Taio." Chen Lihua said as she raised the pack to Liu Longwei''s view.


    Liu Longwei glanced at it and replied with a smile. "Yeah, it would be fun to build a castle ???? with him."


    "Yeah, so I''m picking this." Chen Lihua said as she passed it to him before taking out her phone from her bag. She made some notes of what kind of educative toys and games to get for her son, so she was checking her list out now.


    Chen Lihua searched for the toys and games she found and passed them to the shop attendants that were standing a distance away from them.


    Liu Longwei picked a storybook that looked more like a toy, before following Chen Lihua to meet their son.


    "Taio, what did you pick?." Chen Lihua asked as she came to his side.


    "Mum, I want this..." Taio said as he pointed his little finger at a football.


    "it''s going to be fun playing soccer with your dad and me." Chen Lihua said with a smile as she touched his hair.


    "Get one of it for him." Chen Lihua instructed the bodyguard and he picked one for him.


    This small family toured the toy/game section and picked whatever seemed interesting and educative for Taio.


    "Let''s pick some books for him." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at Liu Longwei.


    "It will be good for his development. Let''s get some storybooks as well." Liu Longwei suggested, and so they went to the next section to pick some books for him.


    Taio was already looking tired when he got to the second section, so a chair was brought for them to sit.


    Chen Lihua opened his bag and took out his water. She opened the bottle and passed it to him.


    "Thank you!." Taio said as he took his bottle from her and drank from it.


    "I think there should be some gummy bears in your bag." Chen Lihua said as she searched his bag for the gummy bears.


    Liu Longwei took the bottle from Taio and wiped his mouth when he was through.


    At last, Chen Lihua found the gummy bears and passed him two pieces from the container.


    "Here, to replenish your lost glucose."


    "Thank you!." Taio said again as he took the gummy bears from her. He looked excited as he put one of it into his mouth.


    "Taio, careful, you should eat it bit by bit." Liu Longwei said to him with creased brows.


    Taio was already fascinated with gummy bears, so how could he hear what his father was saying to him?


    Chen Lihua wiped the saliva from his lips and asked him to slow them.


    "Does he eat this every day?." Liu Longwei asked with a frown.


    "Kind of. He eats at least 5 pieces of this any day he is to eat it." Chen Lihua replied.


    When Taio finished the gummy bears in his hands, he stretched his hand towards Chen Lihua, asking for more.


    Chen Lihua smiled and passed another one to him.


    "Taio, this is the last one."


    Taio nodded and tried putting the stuff inside his mouth, but his father''s gaze reminded him of his words, so he calmly ate the gummy bears bit by bit till nothing was left.


    After resting for a while, They resumed their shopping. When it came to their son, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei would do anything to make sure he got the best things.


    On their way back home, Liu Longwei asked, "Do you think he should start Taekwondo classes? He should have reached the age."


    "He is not too young or too old for it, but he is not up to three yet. When he turns three, I will be willing to invite a coach for him." Chen Lihua replied.


    "You agreed?." Liu Longwei asked with a look of surprise on his face.


    "Yeah. I want my baby to be strong and fit. That reminds me I have to resume my classes as well." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "No. After you give birth. Have you forgotten you are pregnant?." Liu Longwei asked as he pinched her cheeks.


    "Did I?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile.


    Taio was sitting in his car seat, in-between his parents and playing with a stuffed toy. He wasn''t even paying attention to what they were saying.


    When they got home, The housekeeper had the servants send everything that was bought to Liu Wei''s toy room. It was more like his indoor playroom.


    "Mum, I want to play," Taio said from his father''s arms.


    "It''s late tomorrow your mum and I will play with you." Liu Longwei said to him as he brushed his hair backward with his hands.

 Chapter 531 - Tortured by Her

    "It''s late tomorrow your mum and I will play with you." Liu Longwei said to him as he brushed his hair backward with his hands.


    Taio nodded in agreement as he began to look forward to the next day.


    At night, when it was time to sleep, Chen Lihua carried Taio into Liu Longwei''s bedroom to spend the night together.


    Liu Longwei on the other hand was in his study trying to finish the remaining work he hard for the day.


    Liu Longwei worked till 11 PM before he went back to his bedroom to sleep, and found the little figure, hugging his wife.


    ''Why did she bring him here? Was she lonely?.'' Liu Longwei thought as he put his phone on silent before climbing into the bed to join his family.


    He laid down and stretched his hand towards Chen Lihua as he hugged her waist from behind.


    The next morning, somewhere in another country, Liu Longwei''s first ex-girlfriend was currently watching an ongoing torture.


    "Rip his mouth off if he makes too much noise." She instructed as she fat down there with an angry look on her face.


    She was punishing the people she sent to monitor Liu Longwei''s life. They failed to do their jobs, but she was teaching them a lesson.


    The scar-faced man was standing beside her as he watched what was going on. He felt that this was a wrong move because the people being punished were given to her by the Boss, but we were punishing them for something unknown to him.


    This woman was not scared, because she had a lie prepared to tell her foreign husband just in case he asked while the guards were punished.


    Six young men were being subjected to different tortures.


    "What a useless fellow." She said as she stood up from her seat and walked towards the man screaming in pain.


    The scar-faced man and two other men standing around, followed closely beside her to protect her in case of any danger.


    Squatting beside him, there was a demonic smile on her face as she gazed at the man hissing in pain. She glanced at his wounds and pressed on them, but the man dared not make any violent movement apart from hissing in pain.


    Rubbing the blood in her fingers, she put her fingers close to her nose to perceive it. She closed her eyes as his nose picked up the scent of blood.


    "Nice." She said as she inhaled and exhaled with her eyes closed.


    Opening her eyes, she glanced at the men standing around her.


    "Tie his hands and feet up, and then, pass me a knife. I will torture him myself." She instructed, and within a minute, her bid was done.


    "His eyes are not beautiful, cover them." She instructed again with a frown, and a black sack was used to cover the man''s face.


    The man didn''t know what punishment he would receive, but he had once heard that the woman before him was a manic that liked the scent of blood, so he could imagine what would be done to him.


    The thought of that alone terrified him. But now he couldn''t see anything, so he couldn''t tell what was being planned out for him.


    The woman young woman asked for the light to be brightened, and now, her face could be seen.


    She was a young beautiful woman with her hair let down. She had bright red lipstick on her lips ???? and she was dressed in white pants and a jacket.


    Her studded earrings seemed to be encrypted with diamonds. The nails on her fingers were long and artificial. They were also painted red. Her eyeshadows were painted with red shade.


    She was beautiful, but her brains were fried. She had a mental issue that is hidden, and can only be found out when she was very angry or when she perceived blood.


    She was truly a maniac.


    Now the lights were brightened, she walked towards a big table, and her eyes glimmered as she glanced at the different sizes and shapes of knives that were placed on the table.


    She gently c.a.r.e.s.sed the knives with a smile before picking one. She picked a swiss knife as her smile bloomed.


    She played with the knife in her hand as she said. "You are about to be punished by me. You dare to try to escape after you failed in your job? You must have lost your sense!."


    Walking towards him, she asked for the man''s clothes to be torn, so scissors were used to tear his clothes, so he was only left with his b.r.i.e.f.s.


    "Your body is not even beautiful, or I would have had mercy and not decorated it. But look, how can I leave this body full with scars. It''s ugly and I don''t want to see it " The woman said and immediately, she slit his t.h.i.g.hs with the swiss knife in her hand with a swift motion.


    The man screamed in pain. Not only him, the remaining five men that were being tortured, also screamed along.


    Because the crazy woman was teaching someone a lesson, the gangs, stopped torturing the rest and stood and watched the scene.


    That crazy woman had a smile on her face as she watched the blood gush out from the area she just slit. She laughed crazily before going area to slit another area on his l.a.p.s.  This time around, she was mean. She reopened an old wound.


    Most times, reopening an old would be more painful than a fresh wound.


    The man screamed crazily as he struggled to release himself, but he couldn''t because his hands and legs were tied apart.


    "You dare to escape right in front of me, your guts must have been too big to contain." The crazy woman said as she stabbed his inner thing with brutal force.


    "Are you feeling the pain now?." The woman asked in a loud tone as the man cried in anguish.

 Chapter 532 - The mentally deranged psychopath woman

    "You dare to escape right in front of me, your guts must have been too big to contain." The crazy woman said as she stabbed his inner thing with brutal force.


    "Are you feeling the pain now?." The woman asked in a loud tone as the man cried in anguish.


    "Let me tell you, what you are feeling right now, can not be compared with the pains I felt when I completely lost the one person I love to another woman. You should face the pain like a man that you are." The woman said to him before stabbing him again in his other t.h.i.g.h.


    The man continued to scream in anguish. Seeing the state their colleague was in, the remaining 5 cried out in alarm, but they shut their mouth immediately when they received a warning from The crazy female boss.


    "Shut Up!!!. Do you know the efforts I put in only to receive no results? I haven''t started with my torture but you are already screaming? If you pity this stupid fella here so much, what don''t you replace him?." She asked as she sent crazy glances at the men, but none of them would dare to sacrifice himself for the one receiving torture directly from her.


    They were still in pain and wondering when they would be released, so how could they dare option to suffer worse pain?


    "Cowards!!!." The woman spat, seeing that none of them wanted to stand in the gap for the one being tortured by her.


    Turning back to the man she was dealing with, she smiled as she used the sharp edge of the swiss knife to c.a.r.e.s.s his t.h.i.g.hs, thereby leaving a sharp and thin trace.


    The swiss knife was so sharp that a scratch from it was so painful.


    The man being tortured by her continued to scream in pain. The crazy woman got irritated by his voice, so she slapped him on his cheeks, still with that sack over his face.


    "Shut up!." She screamed as she slapped his cheeks so hard. Feeling the pain on her palms, her face scrunched up, so she angrily stabbed him a few times on his t.h.i.g.hs to vent her anger.


    What followed were cries from the man. Now, he was starting to plead with her, but if he received mercy so easily, then it was not the crazy woman torturing him.


    Watching the blood gush out from the wounds she inflicted on him, she smiled happily. She was no longer angry.


    But then glancing at her red palms, she frowned a little bit before she could say anything, the scar-faced man walked wards her with ice and massaged her palms with it.


    "Good! you know your job without being told." The crazy woman said with a little satisfaction in her tone. But glancing at the victims that failed her, her tone changed as she said to the man massaging her palm with ice.


    "But look at your subordinates, you couldn''t even follow them up with the task I assigned to them. You should be the one receiving this torture, but your merits are more than your demerits, so I will let you go."


    The man nodded in understanding and didn''t say anything. Did he dare to do anything? Of course not. After massaging her hand, he took the ice pack away.


    The mentally deranged psychopath of a woman, brought the swiss knife to her nose to perceive the blood. Then smiling in satisfaction, she cleaned the blood on the man''s exposed stomach.


    But when she wanted to inflict another injury on him, her phone rang. The ring tone caused a distraction, so she turned around with a smile and asked, "Who is that?."


    Because the scar-faced man was holding her phone, he brought it for her. "It''s Sir." that was his response as he showed the phone to her.


    "Your luck." She said to the man she was torturing before handing the knife over to one of the gangs.


    "Finish up from here." She said to them before taking her phone from the scar-faced man. She didn''t answer the call till she left the place in her car.


    On the third ring, she answered the call in a neutral tone. It was her foreign husband calling. That was the only call that can make her stop whatever evil she was doing.


    Whatever her husband said to her at the other side, she replied in a neutral tone.


    After the call ended, she sighed and kept her phone aside.


    "When are you going to meet him?." She asked the scar-faced man who was driving her.


    "Tomorrow." The man replied, keeping his reply simple.


    "He doesn''t want to come back anymore. Why is he asking you to come and meet him instead of asking others?." The woman asked in a curious tone.


    In other not for her to suspect anything, the scar-faced man replied using the same words his Boss instructed him to use.


    "I''m going to hunt someone down for him. It''s very important, so he wants me to do it myself." The man replied.


    "Go, but come back immediately you are done. We have some unfinished dealings." The woman said to him before closing her eyes.


    The scar-faced replied to show that he heard her, but he received no response from her, so he continued with what he was doing. He put his eyes on the road and increased the speed.


    "Take me to any hotel and order a set of female clothes for me, I need to have a bath." The woman instructed with her eyes closed.


    "Yes, Ma''am." The scar-faced man replied before taking a detour when he got to a junction.


    He drove towards the nearest hotel in the area and stopped there.


    Having noticed the car had come to a stop, she opened her eyes and stepped out after the car don''t was opened for her.


    The woman walked into the building with a huge sunshade over her eyes, with the man beside her.


    At the receptionist''s desk, the man booked a room for her. He said with the card he speeds to her before taking the left card from them.


    "Why is everybody looking at me?." She asked after they entered the lift. She noticed the curious glances she received from a few people who glanced at her, and she didn''t know their reason.

 Chapter 533 - Family of three playing in the water

    "Why is everybody looking at me?." She asked after they entered the lift. She noticed the curious glances she received from a few people who glanced at her, and she didn''t know their reason.


    "You have a little blood stain on your pants." The scar-faced man revealed.


    The woman glanced at her pants before sighing. "I thought I was being careful, who knew my pants would get stained in the end. But it''s good the stain is not much."


    Found into her hotel room, The woman took a shower while the scar-faced man went to get the clothes she ordered.


    After having a refreshing bath, she wore a bathrobe and came into the bedroom to eat. After a sumptuous meal, she got dressed and left the hotel.


    Saturday came very quickly. And since Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei had dedicated this day to relax at home, they made sure to do that.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were inside the swimming pool at the rooftop chilling. It was a hot afternoon, so they decided to go for a swim.


    Right now, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were splashing each other with the water, while their little guy stood by the side with a maid beside him.


    Taio wanted to join them because he could see how fun it was from the way his parents were playing in the water.


    "Mum! Mummy!!." The little guy called out with a frown sitting on his face.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei heard his voice, so they stopped playing and turned their attention towards him.


    "What is it, baby?." Chen Lihua asked with a sweet smile on her face. Her cheeks were rosy, probably because of the weather.


    "Mummy, I want to play," Taio said while pointing at the pool.


    "You want to play in the water?." Chen Lihua asked with a little confusion in her gaze.


    "Yes." Taio nodded in confirmation.


    "Sorry baby, but you can not swim, so you can''t go into the water." Chen Lihua said to him in a soft tone.


    "No, I want to play." Taio insisted with his poured lips. He looked so cute with that look on his face.


    Chen Lihua touched her head as she glanced at Liu Longwei, giving him a sign to save her from the mess.


    Liu Longwei smiled before glancing at the little guy who was eager to join them in the pool. He knew ''No'' was not a favorable answer to the little guy, because he looks like he would cry any moment if he was rejected, so he nodded at him.


    "You can come and join us on one condition." Liu Longwei said to him as he swam to the edge of the pool.


    Taio nodded in tacit understanding while waiting for his father to spill his next words.


    "You don''t know how to swim, you''ve got to be obedient when dad and Mum are holding you, okay?." Liu Longwei said to him as he stretched his arms out to him.


    Chen Lihua was a little surprised by Liu Longwei''s decision. She wanted him to convince his son not to come into the pool till he has learned how to swim, but he did otherwise. But well, there was no harm with his decision.


    Taio stepped forward with the guidance of the maid who was watching him, so she would be able to catch him in time in case he slipped.


    Taio opened his arms just like his father before he was lifted and brought into the pool.


    "Are you happy now?." Chen Lihua asked as she swam close to the father and son duo.


    "Yes." Taio faced his mother and replied happily while nodding.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she gently pinched his chubby cheeks.


    Liu Longwei held the little boy in his arms as he swam around the pool. Chen Lihua wasn''t left out as she joined in the fun.


    The family of three played around in the pool as laughter resonated from the pool.


    Taio was the happiest one, as he was happy to be playing around in the pool.


    Later, Chen Lihua took him from Liu Longwei and swam close to the edge of the pool. With her back against the wall, she held Taio in her arms.


    The little guy felt relaxed with lying in his mother''s arms.


    Liu Longwei glanced at the mother and son and felt jealous because he saw Taio''s head on Chen Lihua''s b.r.e.a.s.ts.


    Chen Lihua who was patting Taio''s back with a doting smile on her, looked up when she felt a shadow on her.


    Seeing Liu Longwei''s not-so-good-looking face, she asked with a smile,  "What''s wrong?."


    "Is he not heavy? let me carry him." Liu Longwei said as he stretched his arms towards her.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly before saying to him with a knowing look, "I know that look, you are jealous again."


    "Do I look like I''m jealous? I am only concerned because of the baby." Liu Longwei denied with a frown on his face.


    How could he admit to that childish act?


    "Okay, if you say so. Why don''t we get a swim coach for Taio?." Chen Lihua suggested while patting the little guy''s bum.


    Taio hugged his mother and continued listening to what they were talking about. He was feeling very relaxed with being in his mother''s soft embrace.


    "That is not a bad suggestion." Liu Longwei said in agreement before glancing at his son to ask, "Wei, so you want a coach to teach you how to swim?."


    Raising his head from his mother''s embrace, Taio glanced at his father to reply, "Yes. I want to learn how to swim."


    "Good, I will get you a coach soon." Liu Longwei promised as he raised his palm towards the little guy. The little guy raised his palm and gave his father a high-five in the air.


    "Good boy." Liu Longwei said as he rubbed his hair with a smile.

 Chapter 534 - Taio writes pure Chinese characters

    That evening, Liu Longwei talks about going for a check-up with Chen Lihua.


    After her doctor confirmed her pregnancy, she hasn''t gone for another checkup, and Liu Longwei was worried about her. He was afraid she would suffer during childbirth just like in Taio''s case, so he wanted her to be strict with her checkups.


    "I''m truly worried about you and the baby." Liu Longwei said with a worried look on his face.


    Chen Lihua was currently sitting on the bed. She could tell her husband was very worried about her.


    "Darling you need to stop worrying, I will book an appointment with the doctor now. Everything will be fine." Chen Lihua said as she took out her phone.


    "When you confirm the time, let me know because I would like to go with you." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said in agreement as she dialed a number and put her phone close to her ear. After the first ring, the call was answered.


    "Hello, Dr..." Chen Lihua greeted the doctor and they exchanged a few pleasantries, then she went ahead to book an appointment for tomorrow while Liu Longwei watched.


    "Done. I''m going to see the Doctor by 3 PM tomorrow, is the time convenient for you?." Chen Lihua asked after the call.


    "It''s Sunday tomorrow, and I don''t have anything on. We will go to see the doctor tomorrow." Liu Longwei replied as he came to her side to sit beside her.


    He took her hands and kissed the back of her palms.


    "I love you." He said to her in a gentle tone as he slowly looked up at her.


    "I love you too." Chen Lihua said to him with a smile.


    Liu Longwei smiled and hugged her. They stayed like that till Chen Lihua''s phone rang.


    "Who is disturbing us?." Liu Longwei g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he slowly let go of her.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly as she replied and picked up her phone. "It''s a reminder I set earlier today. Come, we need to play games with Taio."


    "What kind of games?." Liu Longwei asked as he helped her get off the bed.


    "Maybe, the puzzle or and building blocks." Chen Lihua replied as she walked towards the door in excitement.


    "Don''t you think Taio should be sitting by this time?." Liu Longwei asked as they left the bedroom together. He was still looking for an opportunity to spend more time with her.


    "It''s past his nap time, he should be awake now." Chen Lihua replied without thinking twice. She didn''t know the reason her husband was finding excuses, but all she wanted to do was to play with her son.


    She felt that Taio was still young, and even though he had someone to take care of him, he still needed the attention of his parents.


    Liu Longwei finally stopped giving excuses and followed her to Taio''s bedroom, where they found a servant arranging the room, but their son and his Nanny were nowhere to be found.


    "Where is my son?." Chen Lihua asked the servant.


    The servant bowed as she replied, "The young master is playing in his playroom."


    "See, he is awake already, let''s go and find him." Chen Lihua said as she dragged Liu Longwei and left the room together.


    When Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei stepped into what was supposed to be an indoor playhouse, they saw the little guy seriously, scribbling something with a pencil.


    "What''s he doing?." Chen Lihua asked in a hushed tone.


    "I think he''s writing or drawing something." Liu Longwei replied, not so sure of what their son was doing, but he looked so serious.


    The Nanny followed her gaze to the little guy, who was still very busy and hadn''t noticed his parent''s presence. Understanding the situation, she nodded before stepping out of the room.


    "Let''s see what he''s writing." Chen Lihua whispered to Liu Longwei in a hushed tone before taking quiet steps towards Taio.


    Taio was sitting on a small desk meant for his age, and he looked so serious while writing things down.


    Peeping from behind him, Chen Lihua was surprised with what she saw, so she beckoned on Liu Longwei to come and see for herself.


    Liu Longwei took light steps over in other not to distract the little guy. Copying Chen Lihua''s actions, he peeped from behind Taio and saw what he was writing, and he too was surprised.


    "Is that not the Chinese alphabets?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua was about to shush him, but it was too late. But surprisingly, Taio did not turn to look at them, he continued to put down the Chinese Characters he saw on the carton of one of his latest toys.


    He didn''t know what he was writing, but because he memorized some of the letters he saw, he decided to scribble them on the paper, so he could show his father and ask him the meaning.


    Taio knew his parents were behind him, but he didn''t react and wanted to finish putting down the words he memorized, so he wouldn''t forget them.


    But it looks likes, he wouldn''t be able to achieve his goal.


    "Taio, can you tell Mum what you are writing?." Chen Lihua asked in a plight to test him.


    "I don''t know," Taio replied as he put his pen down helplessly.


    Liu Longwei noticed the expression the little guy had, so he squat beside him and asked in a gentle tone, "Did we disturb you? Mum and Dad are sorry."


    "It''s okay, I wouldn''t have remembered everything," Taio replied, sparing his father a glance.


    "Taio, answer Mummy, what did you write?." Chen Lihua asked again.


    "I have no idea. I wanted to ask Dad about it." Taio replied in his baby voice.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei exchanged glances. They looked surprised and had a lot of questions to ask.


    "Taio, where did you see these words?." Liu Longwei asked as he pointed at his scribbles.


    Although the handwriting wasn''t so pretty and was about messily, still, it was easy to recognize the pure Chinese characters written on the paper.

 Chapter 535 - Another Genius in the House

    "Taio, where did you see these words?." Liu Longwei asked as he pointed at his scribbles.


    Although the handwriting wasn''t so pretty and was about messily, still, it was easy to recognize the pure Chinese characters written on the paper.


    In reply to his father''s curious question, Taio pointed at the box lying in one corner of the room.


    There was nothing personal about the box, but Chen Lihua guessed he must have seen the words there, so she walked the small box and turned it over.


    Discovering it was a toy box, she brought it over with a smile on her face.


    "It looks like he got the words from here." Chen Lihua concluded after seeing the same words Taio wrote down on the box.


    Liu Longwei took the box from her and glanced at it. Then glancing back at Chen Lihua with a smile, he said as he put the box away.


    "Looks like we have another genius in the house."


    "And it looks like we have a lot of work to do." Chen Lihua added with a smile.


    Their attention was drawn back to Taio who put his pencil on his desk and folded his arms with pouted lips.


    "Liu Wei, that''s an address for one of your toys, it says it was made in ****** China." Liu Longwei explained the words he put down as he showed him the toy box.


    Taio nodded as he finally stopped pouting.


    "Taio, can you write what is written on Daddy''s shirt?." Chen Lihua asked as she began to test him.


    "Mmm... I can try." Taio said after glancing at his father''s shirt and looking back at his mother''s anticipating look.


    The words on Liu Longwei''s shirt were written in English, and they were three-letter words.


    "Do you think he can do it?." Liu Longwei whispered to Chen Lihua, and their little guy moved his attention to his book and started scribbling.


    "I don''t know. He doesn''t know the Chinese characters too well, but he can copy the words he glanced at. Maybe he can do the same with the English letters. He doesn''t know them, but maybe he can still copy them after taking a few seconds glance at them." Chen Lihua whispered back to him.


    "I see..." Liu Longwei said as he trailed off.


    After scribbling down the words he saw on his father''s shirt, Taio sighed before putting his pencil down, and Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei''s attention went back to him.


    Seeing the exact letters on his book, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei glanced at themselves before turning to praise Taio.


    "Taio, it looks like your life would be very busy from now onwards." Chen Lihua said to the little guy as she rubbed his head.


    "We don''t want his IQ to waste right?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Right! I just wanted him to have a lot of fun as a toddler, and then when he gets older, he can learn things at a slow pace. But looks like he is way smarter than other children of his age." Chen Lihua said with a little regret as she c.a.r.e.s.sed Taio''s face.


    "Our son is a genius, and as parents, we are going to do the best we can." Liu Longwei said as he comforted her.


    Smiling, Chen Lihua said, "No wonder he is so stubborn and naughty."


    Liu Longwei chuckled as Taio frowned a little.


    "Taio, come to the mat and play this game with us." Liu Longwei said after he sprayed a mat in the middle of the room while Chen Lihua picked out a puzzle they were going to play with.


    Taio walked over and sat on the mat. So the big man, big woman, and little man surrounded the puzzle.


    Liu Longwei read out the instructions from the pack to their hearing, while Chen Lihua picked out the picture puzzle and scattered it all over the mat, as Taio paid attention to his parents.


    Liu Longwei was indirectly teaching Taio to read packets or packages of anything, before making use of it. He was teaching him to follow instructions.


    This may not seem like a big deal, but he was trying to teach his son to do the right thing when he could have easily said told him how to play the game without reading the instructions on the paper.


    After reading out the instructions, Liu Longwei kept the cover aside and helped Chen Lihua to set the outer layer where the picture puzzle will be arranged.


    With Taio sitting in the middle, he watched his parent''s actions.


    After getting everything reading, Chen Lihua showed Taio the picture they were going to put together.


    "Taio, we are going to fix the puzzles together to form this picture, who while trying to fix the picture puzzle, we are going to be looking at this to get everything right." Chen Lihua said to him, and he nodded in response.


    So, began Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei as they began to teach Taio how to play the puzzle. The family of three played the puzzle together three times before Taio was able to fix everything by himself.


    "We have to get a tutor for him after watching him for a month." Chen Lihua said to Liu Longwei.


    "Why a month, is it not too far?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Not really, but I just want us to give him a little time to spend time with us. I want to understand my son very well before another person comes to take over with tutoring him." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Okay, I understand you. We will do as you said. I want to get the best tutor for him, so I will be on the lookout. Should we get a male or a female tutor for him?." Liu Longwei asked, seeking Chen Lihua''s opinion.


    "I have no idea. Let''s talk about this later." Chen Lihua said while looking away.


    "Maybe a female tutor will be good, let''s get one that is experienced." Liu Longwei suggested.


    "You mean someone older?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on him.


    "Not necessarily older, but someone m.a.t.u.r.e and experienced, I think that should be okay." Liu Longwei replied.

 Chapter 536 - A silent Quarrel between the couple

    "You mean someone older?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on him.


    "Not necessarily older, but someone m.a.t.u.r.e and experienced, I think that should be okay." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Okay then." Chen Lihua said in agreement.


    Looking at her son and feeling proud of him, Chen Lihua had a complicated feeling. She was happy her son was a Genius at such a young age, but she was scared he wouldn''t be that cheerful and take after his father.


    With that thought in mind, Chen Lihua glanced at Liu Longwei with a frown. She could imagine her sweet little boy turning into the cold and aloof Liu Longwei, and she didn''t like that.


    Liu Longwei felt surprised with the kind of unpleasant looks she was giving to him, so he asked, "Why are you staring at me with so much disgust?."


    "I don''t want our son to have your temperament." Chen Lihua voiced out her grievances immediately.


    Liu Longwei was surprised by her words and became curious to know what she meant by that.


    "You have this cold attitude to everyone else, like nothing matters." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Am I not friendly to you and our immediate family members?." Liu Longwei asked with a slight frown. He was speechless and didn''t know what was wrong with his wife.


    "You are, but to others, you''re cold, and I don''t want our son to be like that." Chen Lihua said as she hugged Taio.


    "You want me to be smiling and acting friendly to other people?." Liu Longwei asked in a helpless tone.


    "Did I say that?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on him.


    Liu Longwei sighed to himself as he got up to his feet.


    Seeing that he was leaving, Chen Lihua panicked as she asked, "Where are you going to?."


    "Since my wife does not like my temperament and misunderstands me, I had better stay away from her for a while, till she starts to like everything about me just like before." Liu Longwei replied and stepped out of the room without sparing her another glance.


    Chen Lihua wanted to say, ''If your wife doesn''t like your temperament and misunderstands you, shouldn''t you make things right?'' but Liu Longwei had already left, and it would be unethical to shout, at least now that she wasn''t blinded by anger.


    "Taio, your dad looks angry, did I say anything wrong?." Chen Lihua asked the little guy in her arms, but she didn''t receive any reply, as Taio had already slept off in her arms.


    Chen Lihua sighed to herself as she continued to c.a.r.e.s.s her son''s back gently.


    When Liu Longwei left the room, he went to his study to work. Earlier, he had in mind to watch movies with Chen Lihua after playing with their son, but with what she said to him, he wasn''t in the mood to think about anything, so he buried himself with work, and gradually forgot the plans he had for them.


    Chen Lihua carried Taio to his bedroom and covered him with his duvet before walking out of the room.


    She went into Liu Longwei''s bedroom, but she didn''t find him there, so she went to the study and saw him working. He didn''t even raise his head to acknowledge her presence.


    Because of pride, Chen Lihua didn''t want Liu Longwei to think she came to check up on him because she was worried, so she walked into the study and went to sit on her desk.


    She opened her laptop and started to work.


    They both worked silently with none of them saying a word to each other.


    An hour later, a servant knocked on the door and walked in. She came to remind Liu Longwei about the movie since they had finished setting up everything.


    Liu Longwei told her to things back in place, as he hard urgent work to do.


    "Cancel it. I''ll be working till late at night, so there will be no need for it."


    The servant bowed and left. She felt the silence between the couple, but she thought they were both very busy with work, so she left.


    Even if something was wrong, what can she do about it?. It was not in her place to do anything or gossip.


    When Chen Lihua heard from the servant that Liu Longwei prepared a movie date for them, she felt so regretful with what she said to him, but on the other hand, she was anticipating his response. And his response did disappoint her.


    She couldn''t believe that he just canceled their movie night without saying anything to her. Did he do that because he was angry with her, or because he was very busy with work?


    ''Was there an emergency?'' Chen Lihua thought.


    Because she was worried, she became distracted with work, with so many thoughts going through her mind.


    Some minutes later, the same servant that came in a while ago, knocked on the door and walked in with a tray.


    She went to Liu Longwei''s desk and placed a cup of coffee for him with some healthy snacks, before going to Cheb Lihua''s desk to place her glass of juice and plate of snacks for her.


    "I want sweet doughnuts ????, ask the kitchen to make me some," Chen Instructed in a soft tone after glancing at the stuff that was brought to her.


    The servant nodded and left with an empty tray. Since Chen Lihua didn''t ask her to take the snacks away, she left them on her desk.


    Hearing that she wanted to eat something sweet, Liu Longwei glanced over at her in surprise. And as if remembering something, he felt that it was normal then...


    Liu Longwei knew that Chen Lihua didn''t like sweet things that much because of her cramps. She said that eating sugary things would cause her to have mental cramps, so she doesn''t eat sugary things often.


    Now hearing her demand for something sugary, he remembered that she was pregnant, and must be having the cravings to nest something sweet.


    (NOTE: Dear readers, I''m sorry for the breaks in between. My wrist is getting better, but I don''t have to wait till the pain disappears to continue writing.

 Chapter 537 - He still cares about his wife

    Now hearing her demand for something sugary, he remembered that she was pregnant, and must be having the cravings to eat something sweet.


    Looking away just before the servant left her side, he continued to work. He has some unfinished business, so he had to go on with it.


    The kitchen was very fast with Chen Lihua''s orders, that they brought three doughnuts ???? within ten minutes.


    As Chen Lihua took a bite from the doughnut, she immediately felt relieved because that was the taste she was craving.


    After eating two bites, she drank some of the juice and continued to eat the doughnut. She finished two at once before going back to her work, without knowing that her actions were all taken note of by Liu Longwei.


    When Chen Lihua got exhausted, she. closed her laptop and left the study for Liu Longwei''s bedroom.


    She washed up and went down for dinner, but still, Liu Longwei didn''t come down to join her.


    "If he is not happy with something, shouldn''t we talk about it, why is he ignoring me?." Chen Lihua asked in a soft tone. She didn''t like the idea of Liu Longwei being by himself and not saying anything to her, it was heart-wrenching.


    Chen Lihua had dinner with Taio. Taio asked about his father, but Chen Lihua told him he was still working and would eat later.


    Taio could only nod and continued to feed himself.


    After dinner, he wanted to watch the Tv, but Chen Lihua refused.


    "It''s late, go to bed. Tomorrow, you can watch the Tv." Chen Lihua said to him as she took his hand.


    "Mum, tell me stories," Taio said to her.


    "Okay, Mum, will read bedtime stories to you." Chen Lihua said with a smile as she took him to his bedroom.


    She picked up a storybook and lifted the guy to the bed, then she sat on the bed and rested Taio''s head on her t.h.i.g.hs.


    "Are you comfortable?." She asked him with the book in hand.


    "Yes," Taio replied in his cute little voice.


    Chen Lihua smiled, then holding the book with one hand, she began to read the story out to him, in a gentle tone, while the other hand c.a.r.e.s.sed his hair.


    Within minutes, Taio became sleepy, but he was so stubborn and refused to close his eyes because he wanted to hear the end of the story, So Chen Lihua had to increase her reading pace a bit, so the little guy wouldn''t suffer much.


    "Taio, the story has come to an end." Chen Lihua notified the little guy as she closed the book and kept it on his bedside.


    "Ok. Goodnight Mummy." Taio said as he finally closed his eyes.


    "Good night baby." Chen Lihua replied as she c.a.r.e.s.sed his hair with a loving gaze.


    After five minutes, when she heard his evened breathing, she gently placed his head on his soft children''s pillow, before covering his body with a duvet.


    Heaving a sigh of relief, she glanced at the wall clock in his room.


    "He must be in the bedroom by now." Chen Lihua whispered to herself before taking light steps out of the room.


    Getting to Liu Longwei''s bedroom, she didn''t see anyone in sight, and she didn''t hear any sounds. And Just to be sure, she checked in the walk-in closet and the bathroom, but she didn''t see at sight Liu Longwei, so she concluded that he was still working.


    "Is he still angry with me?." Chen Lihua asked as she turned off the room lights, leaving on the dim lights from the table lamp.


    Climbing into bed, she covered her body with a duvet and closed her eyes, but she couldn''t sleep, because her conscience was pricking her.


    She got her husband annoyed but refused to apologize to him because of pride. And because she was restless, she began to think about a lot of things in other to fall asleep, but it didn''t work.


    Lying in bed with her eyes closed, she decided to wait for Liu Longwei to come back to the room, so she could apologize.


    Liu Longwei not knowing that his wife was disturbed and wanted to apologize to him gave his all to finish all his work, and the ones he was supposed to carry out in the office.


    Liu Longwei walked till 11:30 PM before discovering that it was too late. He was worried about Chen Lihua because she was pregnant, so he tidied up his desk before leaving his study.


    Thinking that Chen Lihua might not want to stay in his bedroom tonight, he sighed to himself before going to his son''s bedroom, to check on him, and also to check if she was there.


    Liu Longwei walked into the room with gentle steps, but he did not see Chen Lihua''s figure, so he kept calm and listened for sounds from the washroom and closet, but he didn''t hear any, so he concluded that she wasn''t there.


    Glancing at his son who was sleeping peacefully, a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He lowered himself to kiss Taio''s forehead before placing the duvet properly on his body.


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh before taking the elevator back to the top floor. He checked Chen Lihua''s bedroom for any sight of her, but there was none.


    Now knowing that she was sleeping on his bed, his heartfelt better. At least she didn''t choose to sleep separately from him.


    Liu Longwei walked into the bedroom and saw the figure lying on his bed with her back against the door, and he finally sighed in relief.


    He walked into the washroom to have his bath before climbing into bed.


    Chen Lihua was still awake when he entered the bedroom, but she refused to make a sound. And when he climbed into the bed, her heart started racing.


    Liu Longwei glanced at Chen Lihua and made sure she was sleeping properly, before laying down on the bed. His little actions showed that he still cared about his wife, even though he was still unhappy with her words earlier that day.

 Chapter 538 - Grievances

    Areum met with Mrs. Ahn at the high-end beauty salon. She immediately went to greet and hug the middle-aged woman as if they were close.


    "Areum, you are looking more beautiful and radiant as the day goes by, thank you for coming to keep me company." Mrs. Ahn said to her with a smile.


    "Ah! Aunty, you''re making me blush. There is no problem at all with keeping you company, I enjoy it. Aunty, you also look beautiful today, you take care of your skin properly." Areum said with an envied smile.


    "Really?." Mrs. Ahn said with a smile as she c.a.r.e.s.sed her soft cheeks with her gaze on the mirror.


    "Of course do I care to tell lies to you? You look so young, even younger than my mother, but don''t let her know that I said it." Areum said in a hushed tone.


    Mrs. Ahn chuckled softly as she replied, "Alright, enough of your praises. You won''t blame me if your mother punishes you."


    "As long as you don''t tell her, she won''t find out," Areum replied with a confident smile.


    At this time, the hairdresser came to their side and asked Mrs. Ahn in a respectful tone, what style she wanted as she handed her a magazine.


    Mrs. Ahn took the magazine and opened it. She found a few hairstyles she liked and thought would be suitable for the occasion she would be attending tonight, but she was kind of confused about the particular one to pick.


    Seeing her confusion, the hairdresser, smiled and asked her, "Ma, would you like me to pi the style for you?."


    "Yes, please." Mrs. Ahn said as she handed the magazine back to her, and pointed at the few hairstyles that caught her eyes.


    "Ma, please may I ask the occasion you would be going for or the kind of dress and jewelry you''d be putting on tonight, so I can help you take a pick.


    Hearing that Mrs. Ahn was getting a new hairstyle done because she had to attend, Areum suddenly felt bad.


    ''She wants to go for an occasion, but she invites me to keep her company in the hair salon instead of inviting me to accompany her to the occasion.'' Areum thought with grievances in her heart.


    Oblivious to Areum''s thoughts, Mrs. Ahn saw no problem with the hairdresser''s question, so she lightly disclosed the occasion and her outfit.


    " Ma, since you are not sure of what you''d be wearing, I will pick the perfect hairstyle that can go with anything. Since the occasion is very important, this hairstyle will be perfect." The hairdresser said as she pointed to the picture of the hairstyle in the magazine.


    Glancing at the magazine and discovering that she liked it, Mrs. Ahn nodded in approval.


    The hairdresser, who was also the manager of the place, called two of her attendants to get things ready.


    When Areum found out that Mrs. Ahn was attending a party organized by a Minister of the country, she was not too surprised, because she knew that the Wang family were influential, and that is one of the reasons she must marry Ahn Ye Jun.


    Feeling bad that Mrs. Ahn did not ask her to come along, but still, Areum was restless. She wanted to attend the party with Mrs. Ahn, and maybe, she can build more connections for herself. But since Mrs. Wang wasn''t inviting her, she would have to be thick-skinned and ask her by herself.


    "Aunt, you''re really going for a party, can I come along with you, I am so bored at home, and my mother doesn''t have time to take me out with her," Areum said in a spoiled tone.


    She was acting as if Mrs. Ahn was really her Aunt, and she has known her all her life.


    Mrs. Ahn smiled as she held her hand. "Areum, it''s not that I don''t want to take you, but I can''t. It is strictly written on the invitation cards that only the families stated on each invitation card could come, so I can''t bring you along."


    Areum even felt hurt the more. Why couldn''t she go to such parties? And when knew for the invitation cards to hold such strict rules, only families with a lot of influence like the ministers and commissioners will be in attendance.


    Seeing her wronged look, Mrs. Ahn placated her. "Honestly when I received the invite, I thought of inviting you, but because of the rules, I couldn''t. Don''t worry, I will take you along to the next party I will be attending."


    Although she was still dissatisfied in her heart, Areum could only nod and agree with her obediently. "Okay, Aunty."


    Mrs. Ahn saw that Areum was no longer angry, so she smiled at her as she passed the magazine to her.


    Areum took it from her with a look of confusion. Mrs. Ahn smiled as she explained to her in a kind tone, "Sit and pick the style you want, I will take care of every other thing."


    Areum pretended to be extremely grateful, so she thanked her and gave her a side hug.


    ''Aunty I know you are trying to placate me. But don''t worry, I will accept your goodwill.'' Areum thought to herself as she smiled happily.


    She could tell that Mrs. Ahn was even concerned about her emotions, which also means that she was penetrating her heart successfully, so she became happy and relaxed.


    Areum picked the hairstyle that she wanted, so the two attendants from earlier and the manager got started with their work.


    About 40 - 60 minutes later, their hair was done. Mrs. Ahn kept receiving flattering remarks from Areum, so she became satisfied.


    Mrs. Ahn took Areum to a high-end store to ship clothes and jewelry.


    Initially, Areum rejected her offer, but Mrs. Ahn threatened her, so she pretended that she had no other choice than to agree.


    "If you don''t let me buy clothes for you today, then don''t talk to me again." Mrs. Ahn said.


    "Alright, Aunty, don''t take things too far. I will humbly accept your goodwill." Areum said with a smile as she held unto Her hand.


    It took the two women more than an hour to shop. And at the end of the day, Mrs. Ahn sent Areum home.


    "Aunt, won''t you come in for a drink?." Areum asked after she stepped out of the car.


    "Not today, I have to go home in a hurry to prepare." Mrs. Ahn responded with a smile.


    Areum could only wave goodbye and watch her drive away.


    When she walked into the house, she met her mother who has been sitting on the sofa and patiently waiting for her.


    "You changed to a new hairstyle?." Kim Ara asked directly when she saw the new hairstyle her daughter was carrying.


    "Yes. Aunt Ahn had me change it as a way of apology." Areum replied as she walked to sit on the sofa with the shop bags in her hands.


    "Apology, did she offend you?." Kim Ara asked as her gaze turned serious.


    "I would say yes," Areum replied with a frown, then she began to recount what happened at the hair salon.


    "Since she bought things for you, then you shouldn''t be angry. It''s not it was her fault that she couldn''t take you with her." Kim Ara said in a bid to comfort her, but it didn''t work.


    "Mum, do you know what kind of party it was? People from the government and wealthy people all over the country will be in attendance, but I was not opportune to attend." Areum said with many grievances in her tone.


    "That would have been an opportunity to gain so many connections, but still you don''t have to wail over it. In the future when you marry into the Ahn family, you will get tired of these parties." Kim Ara said in a soft done while rubbing her shoulder.


    Talking about marrying into the Ahn family, Areum smiled as she said, "Mum, I can''t wait to marry into the Ahn family, and then, grandmother would be the one begging me to take over her company."


    "Leave your grandmother alone. You refused to follow her plans, so her heart is set on another plan. These days, she doesn''t even bother you, and instead recruits more people to the store." Kim Ara complained.


    "Grandma recruited more people to work in the store? Did you find anything suspicious?." Areum asked in an armed tone.


    "For now, there is nothing to be worried about, you can relax, but you have to build your modeling career quickly because we don''t know what the old woman has in mind." Kim Ara said in a kind reminder.


    "There is no problem about that, I will work hard to get more works to advance in my career," Areum replied, not too bothered about the things related to her grandmother.


    Right now what she was worried about, was her to quickly marry into the Ahn family.

 Chapter 539 - Making Peace

    Liu Longwei glanced at Chen Lihua and made sure she was sleeping properly, before laying down on the bed. His little actions showed that he still cared about his wife, even though he was still unhappy with her words earlier that day.


    Liu Longwei covered her shoulders with the duvet before lying down with his back against the bed. He has his two palms behind him and supporting his head.


    Ten seconds later, Chen Lihua turned to his side, and before he could blink, she had already thrown herself into his arms.


    She laid her hand on his c.h.e.s.t and hugged his body with her right hand.


    Liu Longwei was a little startled with her movements, but he didn''t move an inch.


    Chen Lihua didn''t hear any movement from him, so she said to him in a hushed tone.


    "Darling, I''m sorry about today. I''m sorry for that taking to you in that manner, please forgive me."


    It never occurred to Liu Longwei that his wife would apologize to him, so he was surprised by her actions.


    When she didn''t hear any response from him, she had no choice but to raise her face and glance at him.


    Their eyes met, but Chen Lihua decided to ignore the embarrassment she felt and apologize to him again.


    "Darling, I''m sorry about what I said earlier, I shouldn''t have said that. I love you so much, and I love everything about you. I was only scared that Taio would grow up with a cold attitude towards people. But thinking about it now, it''s good. You are only cold to outsiders, but to your friends and family, you are not the same. I know my words have hurt you, I''m sorry."


    Liu Longwei heard everything she said. How could continue to be mad at her after she had apologized? this was the woman he lived with everything in him, so how could he bear to hold grudges against her?


    Liu Longwei heaved a sigh and pressed the side of her face to his c.h.e.s.t and said to her in a gentle tone while partying her back with one hand.


    "I forgive you. You know I love you so much, so when you talk to me like that, it hurts me deeply." Liu Longwei spoke in a gentle tone with a voice from above her head.


    "I know, and that''s the reason I felt so bad and had to apologize to me. I''m really sorry about my actions." Chen Lihua apologized again.


    "That''s okay." Liu Longwei said to her as he continued to rub her back.


    "You were angry with me and that is the reason you ignored me earlier and canceled our movie night right?." Chen Lihua asked as she looked at him.


    A smile appeared on Liu Longwei''s face as he said to her, "I was not angry, I only felt hurt. And because I had a lot of work today, I had to ignore you for the time being, but I didn''t plan to keep malice with you. As for the movie night, I had to cancel it because I wasn''t in a good mood."


    "Oh! it''s been a while since we played games together, can we do that tomorrow?." Chen Lihua inquired with a smile.


    "Of course we can. I enjoy playing with you. We might have to go out for some entertainment. It''s not really good to play at home always, it can be boring."


    "Yeah, I agree with you." Chen Lihua said to him.


    Remembering the scene of her eating sweet donuts today, he asked, "How is the baby?."


    "She is fine. She is still too young, so she hasn''t started disturbing me." Chen Lihua replied with a smile. She remembered that Her husband wanted a doctor, and although the baby hasn''t even formed properly to find out the gender, she refers to it as a ''she.''


    "You have started having cravings so early, I can''t wait already to have the little girl in my arms." Liu Longwei said with a smile as he kissed her hair.


    "I didn''t know you noticed. I just felt like eating a set snack, so donuts came to my mind, and I unexpectedly had this strong craving for it. Pregnancies are indeed different. When Taio was at this stage, I didn''t feel nauseating and I didn''t have the urge for any cravings. But see, this little one is different." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    Liu Longwei c.a.r.e.s.sed her back as he kissed her hair again.


    The next minute, Chen Lihua left his arms and shifted back to her side. But this time around, she didn''t back him. She faced him and started into his surprised face with glistening eyes.


    "You don''t like my hug?." Liu Longwei asked with a surprised gaze after she left his arms without warning.


    "My b.o.o.b.s feel heavy, and they hurt, so I can rest in your rock-hard c.h.e.s.t." Chen Lihua explained as she touches her b.o.o.b.s lightly, but Liu Longwei took her hands away.


    "Are you blaming me?." Liu Longwei asked as he still held unto her hand.


    "No, your embrace makes me feel secured. Hugging your rock-hard c.h.e.s.t, makes me feel safe." Chen Lihua replied as she took her hand from his grasp, and c.a.r.e.s.sed her face.


    Liu Longwei smiled satisfactorily, then he glanced at her b.o.o.b.s before glancing back at her as he asked, "Since your b.o.o.b.s feel uncomfortable, do you want me to massage them?."


    Chen Lihua felt his flirting gaze on her, and she knew she was definitely not up for whatever he wanted to do, so she outrightly rejected him as she turned her back towards him.


    "No." Chen Lihua replied before backing him, and all Liu Longwei could see was her back.


    How could he allow his wife to turn her back against him? Liu Longwei pulled her to his embrace and hugged her waist forcefully.


    Chen Lihua laughed out loud as she tried to pry his arms off her waist, but failed.


    Liu Longwei on the other hand refused to let her go, and even put his other palm on her c.h.e.s.t, and pressed her b.o.o.b.s gently.

 Chapter 540 - Russian Drug Lord

    Chen Lihua laughed out loud as she tried to pry his arms off her waist, but failed.


    Liu Longwei on the other hand refused to let her go, and even put his other palm on her c.h.e.s.t, and pressed her b.o.o.b.s gently.


    "Husband!." Chen Lihua called out in a soft tone.


    "Don''t call me, sleep." Liu Longwei said as he c.a.r.e.s.sed her b.o.o.b.s one more time, before hugging her waist like a gentleman.


    Chen Lihua gradually stopped laughing hard. She felt secure in Liu Longwei''s embrace that she smiled unconsciously.


    The young couple felt warmth in their hearts and bodies as they slept in each other''s embrace.


    The crazy manic woman stayed up all night as she planed with the scar-faced man on how to deal with Chen Lihua.


    She planned that she would travel to Country C and befriend Chen Lihua herself. She knew someone like Chen Lihua will guide her if she found out she was her husband''s ex.


    The crazy woman planned to reveal her identity as Liu Longwei''s ex and then get close to Chen Lihua by pretending that she was over Liu Longwei.


    She has other plans in mind, but she didn''t mind working patiently to gain Chen Lihua''s trust before finishing her off.


    After planning the whole night, the scar-faced man watched the woman go to her bedroom, before going to another building to pick up a little suitcase before leaving the house.


    One of the cars in the compound drove him to a destination where a helicopter was waiting for him. He boarded the helicopter ???? and within twenty minutes, he arrived at another city.


    Another car was waiting for him after he came out of the helicopter. He recognized the other bodyguard that opened the car door for him, he was a subordinate, his junior according to ranks.


    "Nick, it''s been a while." The Scar-faced man said without any change of emotion in his tone and face.


    Nick nodded to him respectfully, and when he got into the car, Nick closed the door and went to the driver''s side, and got in.


    "Do you know what punishment is waiting for me?." The scar-faced man asked.


    "I don''t know, but The master might not make things too difficult for you," Nick replied as he ignited the engine and drove off.


    ''...too difficult.'' The scar-faced man said to himself before sighing.


    It took another twenty minutes before the car arrived in a beautiful house in the woods.


    The scar-faced man stepped out of the car and glanced at the familiar surrounding. It has indeed been a while. Since the Boss sent him to his wife''s side, he hasn''t stepped his feet here.


    "Boss, the master is waiting for you," Nick said to him as he gestured for him to follow after him.


    The scar-faced man sighed to himself. He knew he was in trouble, after all, he f.u.c.k.e.d up. His master sent him to that crazy woman''s side to monitor her, but he ended up disobeying the orders.


    He not only doesn''t report back but helped the woman with her evil acts. And at last, the master discovered all of these and was set out to punish him.


    If his family would be kept safe, he was ready to receive any kind of punishment. He couldn''t even wish for a whole corpse.


    Walking inside the glass villa, he could hear a piece of loud music playing. He sighed to himself. His master really knew how to enjoy himself even after getting betrayed.


    Nick took him to the backyard, where a middle-aged man was partying with pretty half-n.a.k.e.d young girls. They were currently playing in the pool and having fun.


    Seeing the scene, Nick and the scar-faced man knew better than not to disturb.


    "Come with me," Nick ordered as he turned away. The scar-faced man glanced at his master before turning away to keep up with Nick.


    Nick and the scar-faced man''s master, was a Russian drug lord. He had strong forces, surrounding him. He once had a business in Country C some years back, and that was how he met the crazy woman and took a liking to her.


    He had only one rule for her, ''Don''t have any form of contact with your ex, since you''re married to me''. As for the rest, she could choose to have any kind of fun she wanted, as long as she didn''t go against his rules.


    So for the past two years, the couple has been staying apart and having fun by themselves.


    The crazy woman once complained that he was going around the city with other girls, but left her alone in the house, so her husband agreed for their relationship to be an open one. She could have fun just like him, but she can never get back with her ex.


    So even if she spent his money or killed someone, he would turn a blind eye to it, as long as she didn''t break his golden rule.


    Even when he found out that she was taking pills in other not to get pregnant, he didn''t say anything to her, he let her be. But now that she broke his rule and kept stirring up trouble, he became fed up with her, and had already planned to get rid of her.


    Which man wouldn''t feel a sense of jealousy when he his wife was still in love with her ex?


    When the Russian drug lord was done playing with the girls, he came out from the pool, and one of the bodyguards standing at the pool area walked towards him and whispered some words to him.

 Chapter 541 - Last Mission before the punishment

    When the Russian drug lord was done playing with the girls, he came out from the pool, and one of the bodyguards standing at the pool area walked towards him and whispered some words to him.


    He glanced at the corridor leading into the house and nodded, then he waved his hand, and a robe. was brought forth to cover his body.


    After wiping the water off his hair to an extent, he walked into the house with the two of the bodyguards that have been at his side.


    The drug lord walked into his primary office where Nick and the scar-faced man has been waiting for him.


    Sitting down on the comfortable swivel chair, he looked at the scar-faced man who was standing before him.


    He stared at him for a few more minutes. That stare made the scar-faced man nervous.


    A cigar ???? was lit and brought to the man, and he put the stuff in his mouth and smoked for a bit, then a whiskey was poured into a glass cup ???? and brought to him.


    The office was silent and the only sound heard was from the drug Lord who was smoking.


    "I sent you to monitor Leila, but you ended up helping her to go against my rules. You were one of my most trusted persons, but you chose to betray me by going contrary to the rules, how do you want to be punished?."


    The scar-faced man dare not breathe a sigh of relief even though he was a bit relieved that he wasn''t going to be tortured before he would be killed. He already knew he was going to die, so there were no two ways about it. But he still needed to be careful with his words, or things could get worse.


    "Lord, I will leave it to you." The scar-faced man said in reply. He answered back in the Russian language.


    The drug lord took into considerations all the merits he had attained while working for him, so he gave him an open check even though he was going to be killed, while the scar-faced man took into consideration, that he betrayed his Boss, so he asked him to go ahead with his plans.


    The drug Lord smiled and picked up his glass ???? to drink from it, before slowly taking a drag from his cigar ????.


    "Even at this point, you still want to disobey me?." The drug Lord asked.


    Nick had to speak up at this point to avoid him getting more punishment.


    "The Boss wants you to make one request before you will be punished."


    The scar-faced man got the drill, so he had to speak up. "I just want my family to stay out of this, will receive the punishment alone."


    "It looks like you have come to your senses. Your wish has been granted. Sit, and tell me in details of all of Leila''s plans." The Drug Lord said as he smoked away.


    An hour later, the scar-faced man came out of the study and walked to the backyard to breathe the fresh air.


    Nick walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder.


    "You''re lucky you will not be tortured, and your family will not be touched."


    "I know right? I guess this is the way the Boss wants to show me mercy. At least, I am grateful." The scar-faced man replied with his hands in his pocket as he looked into the distance.


    The pool area was quiet and empty, apart from the guards standing around.


    "Maybe it''s because you''ve taken a bullet for him so many times, so he decided to return the gratitude in this way. Man, since the boss has given you a two-day vacation before your punishment, what are you waiting for?." Nick asked.


    Compared to Nick, the scar-faced man had a stronger build and looked more ruthless.


    "I have to leave now, I will be back." The scar-faced said to him before turning away.


    During this time, The scar-faced man traveled to his hometown to visit his old mother and his unmarried younger sister.


    When he was leaving, the ruthless man without emotions, hugged his mother and his sister, before leaving, never to return.


    He wanted to pass his fortune to his family, but he didn''t want to do that directly, so they wouldn''t suspect anything, so he decided to do that through the organization.


    When he came back to the villa in the woods, he immediately reported back to the drug lord.


    The drug Lord invited him into his office once again, to talk.


    "This is the last time we are going to talk and see each other, so let''s make it memorable. There will be a little party to send you off, later in the evening. But for now, let''s talk about business." The drug Lord said to him with a fixed gaze on him.


    They talked for not more than 20 minutes, after which the drug lord told him of his last role and final assignment. The method and process of how he would be punished were included.


    After coming out from his office, the scar-faced man met with Nick, before assigning a simple task to him.


    "We have known each other for years now, and I have helped you a lot, so this time around I want you to help me with a little favor."


    Nick chuckled softly. "What is it?."


    "After the news of my death spreads to my family, pass my fortune to them." The scar-faced man said as he handed over a small key to him.


    Glancing at the key, Nick asked, "Is that all?."


    "I don''t dare to ask for more. Thank you!." The scar-faced man said as he patted his shoulder before walking away.

 Chapter 542 - A promise to Kill off

    Later that day, a party was held for the scar-faced man by the drug Lord in other to send him off.


    It was quite a big pool party, with girls in their sultry images.


    The scar-faced man didn''t know what kind of feelings were going through his mind. Now he wasn''t sure if his Master meant well for him. by organizing the farewell party for him, or if he wanted to fill his mind with the guilt of betrayal.


    But whichever one it is was, it didn''t matter. In fact, none of these mattered.


    During the party, girls tried getting close to him, but he pushed them away and went to sit and dawn his despairs with alcohol.


    "Hey man, what are you doing here? You are the limelight of the party and you''re sitting here and drinking away." Nick said to him as he came to sit beside him.


    "You can enjoy the party if you want, but as for me, I want to be alone." The scar-faced man replied as he stared into the distance.


    "Alright, then I will get to party hard on your behalf. I don''t know when we will meet next, but you have to enjoy your last moment now." Nick said before leaving.


    As he watched Nick walk away, his phone vibrated in his pocket, so he took it out. When he caught a glimpse of the caller ID, he sighed to himself.


    He stood up and walked away from the pool before answering the call.


    "What took you so long to pick up, and what''s that noise I''m hearing from the background?." The crazy woman asked with a frown while sitting in her favorite space.


    "We closed a deal, so Boss hosted a party to celebrate." The scar-faced man replied without a change in emotions.


    "Always partying not minding his age!." The crazy woman spat in an annoyed tone.


    What else can the scar-faced man say? He remained quiet and waited for her to speak up again, which she did.


    "Since you guys closed a deal, I assume you will be back soon, so when will that be?." She asked in a heavy tone.


    "The Boss hasn''t said anything about that." The scar-faced man replied in his usual cold tone.


    "Nonsense! You have to come back first thing tomorrow morning, my revenge can''t wait for long, there is no time." The crazy woman said before cutting off the call.


    She couldn''t want to exert her revenge, and she felt that she was being delayed, so the whole thing was getting her all whirled up.


    She was so angry that she pointed her fist at the table. She didn''t even feel the pain, as her face was twisted in a crazy form.


    She couldn''t continue to delay with her matters, now that she had found a perfect opportunity, so she dialed a number she hasn''t contacted for a while.


    A chuckle resonated from the background as a male voice spoke. "Leila, you haven''t reached out to your old man in months, am I safe today?."


    "How can you not be safe?." The crazy woman asked as a haunting smile appeared on her face.


    "Oh my! Leila, you don''t even care about your husband. You haven''t seen me back home in a long time, and you don''t even mind. Are you not scared that another woman will take over your man?." The drug Lord asked with a smile as he crossed his legs on the sofa while staring at the scar-faced man who was standing in front of him.


    Hearing his last sentence, the crazy woman felt the turmoil in her heart. Her heart rate increased as the blood in her veins flowed at a faster rate. She was close to losing all her senses, but at the last minute when she close to losing, she managed to regain her senses, after stabbing her palms, with her next.


    Earlier when she felt the adrenaline rush through her, she felt that she was almost losing her senses, and it took her the feeling of pain to regain her wits back.


    After calming herself down, she smiled in contempt as she spoke slowly, "Who is that woman that is not afraid of me? Whoever dares to snatch what belongs to me, will be crushed to powder."


    "Relax, while are you getting so serious. So tell me, why did you call because I know you wouldn''t call to check up on me?." The drug Lord asked as he was handed over a glass of strong tequila.


    "When will you return my person? I want to go on a vacation to have fun since I haven''t stepped out in a long time." The crazy woman asked with her gaze on the blood oozing out from her palms.


    The drug Lord sighed. "You are so heartless. You don''t want to come over here and join in the fun. When do you want him?." The drug lord asked, but had a different thought in his mind.


    ''Leila, it looks like you can''t wait to perish.''


    "I want him back first thing tomorrow morning, my trip cannot be delayed." The crazy woman replied before sticking out her tongue to lick the blood on her palms.


    The drug Lord had his gaze on somewhere, just like the rest of the people standing before him.


    "Rest assured that I will return him to you tomorrow."


    After getting reassurance from him, the crazy woman smiled and ended the call. Then her face turned back to her angry disposition.


    "Turn up the volume." The drug Lord commanded his tone turned frosty.


    The person standing behind him, walked a little ahead, before lowering his body to tap on one of the keys of the laptop before them.


    Although her face can''t be seen clearly because of the light setting in the room, everybody around could still tell who she was.


    "I am here getting impatient because of my revenge, and you''re busy throwing parties over there. Just wait till I get my revenge, then I will kill you off!." Leila swore in anger as she pounded her fist ???? on the round table beside her.

 Chapter 543 - Plans Exposed

    "I am here getting impatient because of my revenge, and you''re busy throwing parties over there. Just wait till I get my revenge, then I will kill you off!." Leila swore in anger as she pounded her fist ???? on the round table beside her.


    Her face looked scary with that twisted look on her face.


    "tsk...tsk...tsk... Leila, you are so impatient and careless. You can''t wait to kill me off? That''s is the reason I have to kill you off, first." The drug lord said before laughing out loud with his gaze on the laptop.


    Everybody in the room who could hear English heard and understood the crazy woman''s words.


    She communicated with her drug lord husband in the Russian language. But after the call, she cursed in English which the man could hear very well.


    The man said she was careless because she wasn''t even aware that there was a hidden camera in the room, which could even enable people to see and hear her.


    The scar-faced man almost felt cold in his bones.


    ''So this is how Boss found out about everything?.'' He thought to himself with so much regret in his heart.


    "Are you surprised?." The drug Lord turned to the scar-faced man to ask with a hint of a smile on his face.


    The scar-faced only gazed at him without saying anything.


    The drug lord did not mind that he didn''t reply. Instead, he smiled as he said to him.


    "I know you are shocked. Leila knew that there were cameras all over the house apart from this one. I only installed the camera in that small room about a month ago. I couldn''t trust you 100% because you have been with her for so long and yet didn''t report any worrying news, which I knew wasn''t normal, so I sent another person to do the work. I wanted to know what you two were up to since I couldn''t get anything from watching her in the bedroom, and the living room."


    The scar-faced man was helpless.


    Because the Drug Lord didn''t know about all the plans she had before he installed a camera in that room, he asked the scar-faced man to give him the details, the day he arrived.


    He was so angry that what Leila did could be traced back to him and cause him a lot of trouble if not handles properly.


    (Talking about the failed Kidnapping of Chen Lihua, monitoring Liu Longwei''s home and causing a little trouble for Chen Lihua. Apparently, she used Chen K''s friend as a sword to attack during Chen Lihua''s attempted kidnapping).


    "It''s obvious that Leila is crazy. A woman who could cause herself pain and lick her blood, coupled with that twisted facial expression of hers, why won''t I get rid of her? When did she turn crazy?." The drug Lord asked with his gaze fixed on the scar-faced man.


    His gaze looked serious as he needed answers.


    The scar-faced man began to explain when he noticed that the woman he has been following wasn''t normal.


    Her case started when Liu Longwei''s Wedding to Chen Lihua was announced. That was when her obsession for revenge started sprouting...


    When Liu Longwei was dating Zie Yu, her obsession with him wasn''t much, because she thought he was only playing around to pass time.


    It was only when she saw in the news that Liu Longwei was getting married to Chen Lihua, that she knew that things had turned serious.


    After listening to everything the scar-faced man said, he pointed at the laptop that still showed the scene from the dimly lit room, and said.


    "This is the reason you won''t have a whole corpse. Jack will go back with you to monitor and make sure that you make things right. Don''t forget, stick to the plans." The drug Lord said as he pointed at Jack.


    Jack was the one that turned up the volume of the laptop.


    "Yes, Sir!." The scar-faced man replied.


    "You can go back to your party." The drug Lord said to him as he looked away.


    Feeling that his life had come to an end, could he have the mind to party? He could only drink and smoke.


    There was no need to regret the day he met that crazy woman that didn''t even have the slightest idea that she was going to die.


    The next day the scar-faced man returned to Leila''s side.


    Leila couldn''t hide the fact that she was excited that at last, the long-awaited revenge of hers, could be finally exerted.


    Jack, who went back with the scar-faced man did not appear at the house. He was dropped off halfway to complete the first part of his mission.


    "Pack your bags, and get the jet ready, we are leaving this evening," Leila instructed.


    "Yes, Ma''am." The scar-faced man replied.


    "Did that old man suspect anything?." Leila asked with a weary expression on her face.


    "Nothing at all. He didn''t ask many questions about you, because he was more interested in the deal we closed and the incoming goods." The man replied with an indifferent look on his face ????.


    "Good. That makes like easy. But we have to be careful. It''s good that I sent someone to his side, if there is anything, she will let me know." Leila said with confidence.


    The scar-faced man''s heart skipped a bit when he heard the last sentence she said.


    Leila actually sent a woman to seduce her husband, so she could get information from him, but the ones she has been sending to her was useless because the drug lord was so careful with his business that he doesn''t allow woman near him when he in the middle of something serious.


    The woman Leila sent was one of the beauties at the pool party with the drug lord the day the scar-faced man arrived. That same woman was currently massaging the drug Lord''s shoulders while getting their skin tanned.

 Chapter 544 - The Spy

    The woman Leila sent was one of the beauties at the pool party with the drug lord the day the scar-faced man arrived. That same woman was currently massaging the drug Lord''s shoulders while getting their skin tanned.


    The drug lord was enjoying the massage with his eyes closed and a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.


    The scar-faced man wanted to call and notify the Boss of the mole placed by his side, but Leila didn''t give him a chance, as she assigned some tasks to him, while watching him do them.


    When the scar-faced man finished with the tasks assigned to him, it was time to go to the place the private Jet was parked.


    He put His and Leila''s luggage in the booth of the car before opening the car door for her.


    Leila who was dressed in suit pants and jacket, and with sunshades protecting her eyes from the harsh rays of the sun, had a smile on her face as she stepped into the car.


    When their car hit the road, the scar-faced man found the opportunity to text his Boss since he was sitting on the front seat of the car while the driver drove.


    He quickly put his phone away after sending the text, but could only pray that his Boss sees the text on time.


    When they arrived at their destination, they got out of the car and climbed into the private Jet that was set to take off.


    After securing their luggage, the scar-faced man was tasked by Leila to check for her hairpin in the car, so he got out of the jet to go search for her hairpin, and he found it.


    Luckily, the driver was still there waiting for them to take off before he could drive off.


    "Mission accomplished, the engine is okay, everything has been checked, and the Jet is ready to take off." Jack who was speaking to the Pilot, announced to the hearing of Leila who was on board.


    It was only the scar-faced man that understood the meaning of his words, ''Mission, accomplished''.


    Climbing into the Jet, he passed the hairpin on to Leila who gazed at him and asked in a curious tone.


    "Who is that man with the pilot, I can''t remember seeing him before?."


    "He is a private engineer employed to make sure the Jet is in a good condition to fly." The scar-faced man replied calmly.


    When the Jet was about to take off, the air-hostess announced the safety tips and asked them to fasten their seat belts.


    When the Jet took off, Jack who was on the ground, phoned the drug Lord to inform him about it.


    "Good job, you can return." The Boss said, before ending the call. He passed his phone to his subordinate, who notified him that he had an unread message on his phone.


    "Open it and read it out to me!."


    The subordinate opened the message and read it to his hearing, and both of their facial expressions changed.


    It was just a simple message from the scar-faced man. The drug lord was the one with his phone when the text came in, but he forgot about the message.


    The message says, ''There is a mole amongst the girls arranged by Leila to get information.''


    "Did he say which girl it was?." The drug lord asked in seething rage.


    "He didn''t mention, which means he was not able to find out who the particular person was." The subordinate replied.


    "Although the jet has taken off, my heart still can be at ease till that woman is dead! Search! we need to find that mole before she gives important information." The drug Lord stood as he issued a command.


    As long as the Jet hasn''t crashed, if Leila gets any information, things could turn around if there was a 1% chance, so the mole had to be found out as quickly as possible.


    Well the mole who they were all looking for, was currently in the drug Lord''s office. She for rid of the guards at his door and entered the office.


    Since there is a search for the unknown mole, the security was asked to get the CCTV footage to locate everybody in the villa, as this was a matter of urgency.


    The mole got a little evidence of the fact that the drug lord has been monitoring Leila and knew of all her plans, but previous, present, and future.


    She immediately clicked away on the computer and sent all the evidence she managed to find Leila.


    While the drug lord and his guards searched for the mole, they received a tip from the rest checking on the CCTV cameras, and it turned out that she was in his private office.


    The rest of the guards immediately made their way.


    Knowing that she didn''t have any time left before she was found out, the mole still placed a call on Leila to brief her verbally so she could take precautions on time.


    After the first ring, Leila saw the call, immediately answered the call, because she guessed it was a matter of urgency for the mile she placed at her husband''s side to call her at this time.


    "Leila, you''re in danger. I sent some files to..."


    "Don''t shoot her!." Came an instruction from the drug Lord that just walked in from behind them.


    The spy knew this was her end, as a guard immediately rushed to her side and slapped her face before she could finish whatever she wanted to say, then her phone was snatched from her, and the call, disconnected.


    "So you are the spy Leila sent to my side? Do you think you have a chance of saving her after putting your life in danger?." The drug Lord asked as he looked her up and down, while she was dragged out from his seat.

 Chapter 545 - Still going to die at the end of the day

    "So you are the spy? Do you think you have a chance of saving her after putting your life in danger?." The drug Lord asked as he looked her up and down, while she was dragged out from his seat.


    The Female Spy knew it was over, but she refused to say anything.


    "Looks like Leila employed a strong one." The drug Lord said in a low tone before turning around to give out instruction in a stern tone.


    "Use her as a lab rat to tests our new drugs. Let her sufferer for six months, then if she doesn''t die from the effect, cut each part of her body every week. A leg for today, another leg for the next day, a hand for today, another hand for the next day."


    It was now that the female spy knew how black-hearted the drug lord was, so she screamed at him in despair while struggling with the guards that were tightly holding onto her hands.


    "How could you treat me this way?! How can you treat a woman this way?!."


    "Shut up!." Another guard said as he slapped her face, and then blood was seen at the corner of her lips.


    The female spy felt a sharp pain on her left cheek, as tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes.


    Tsk... tsk... tsk... but it was a pity that the men in the room, didn''t pity her.


    The drug Lord chuckled in a loud tone before sending a glared at her. "Because you are a woman, you think you can betray me and escape my punishments? Now let me tell you something you don''t know about. When it comes to punishing those that betray me, there is gender equality. I don''t differentiate between the two genders."


    What the drug lord means is that for those that betray him, he punishes them according to His laws, not minding their gender. So, both males and females, receive the same type of punishment.


    "Guys, drag her out to the dungeon and tie her up. Don''t starve her, because we need a healthy body for the drug testing." The drug Lord instructed as he laughed out loud.


    The female spy knew that her life was over, so she cried out and pleaded with the drug Lord to forgive her and lighten her punishments, but her pleading fell on dead ears.


    As for Leila, she heard the conversation from her spy till the call was disconnected, so she knew she has been caught, and there was no escape route for her.


    "She said I was in danger, how?." Leila asked herself as her heartbeat started to palpitate last a faster rate.


    She was nervous and afraid that her husband had found out everything she did, but how?


    How? she glanced at the scar-faced man who was sitting on another seat, which was a little away from her.


    A bag premonition made her shoulder. "Could it be him?."


    As this seed of doubts was sprouting and began to spread, she still couldn''t wrap her hands around anything.


    ''If I was in danger, and he was the one that revealed everything to my husband, does that mean he was tasked to get rid of me?''. Leila thought.


    The scar-faced man felt the gaze on him despite the distance, but he pretended to not have noticed it.


    Leila continued to think, and then she remembered something.


    ''If he was the one that revealed everything to my husband, then he was the one that exposed my spy to him''.


    Leila thought so because she just mentioned her soul to him this morning, and she was already caught.


    ''You dare to betray me? I will kill you immediately this jet lands.'' Leila said with a gaze filled with hatred, directed towards the scar-faced man.


    Leila made this promise, without knowing that her fate has already been sealed long ago.


    ''That''s right, she mentioned sending something to me.''


    One was a voice recording, and the other was a short video, and then two pictures were included.


    When she saw the pictures, she didn''t say much. But the video she watched made her have a bad prenomination of what danger she could be in.


    The pictures only showed the scar-faced man and the drug lord talking.


    The video was a clip from the laptop, and it showed the darkroom Leila liked to stay in.


    When she saw the clip, she already knew that her husband has been monitoring her, and who knees for how long.


    Leila couldn''t think of any other person that could install the camera apart from the scar-faced man.


    Thinking of all these, she became very angry and nearly lost her cool.


    ''It looks like he was a spy placed by my side by that devil a long time ago, and I mistook him for a loyal servant.''


    Leila didn''t want to waste time dwelling on too many things, as she still had the voice recorder to listen to.


    Once She played it and started listening to it, her face turned ashen white. Her fingers kept shaking, and she couldn''t even place them at a place.


    After listening to the audio of the method her husband came up with to get rid of her, Leila''s face turned from being scared to angry.


    Then she glanced at the scar-faced man whose eyes were still closed. "So, you were sent to perish with me?."


    Leila laughed coldly in her mind. ''So my life will end like this?. Not possible, till I have had a good fight.''


    Coincidentally, one of the flight attendants came to her seat and asked her if she needed anything.


    "I will have a glass of wine," Leila said as she passed a small note to her.


    "Okay, Ma''am."  The flight attendant said as she took the note and walked away. Then she returned with a tray and served the wine to Leila, while discreetly passing the kitchen knife she wanted, over to her.


    Even though killing the scar-faced man wasn''t going to change anything, it will still help to vent a little of her anger.


    The irony of the whole thing was that she was still going to die at the end of the day.

 Chapter 546 - Leilas End

    "Okay, Ma''am."  The flight attendant said as she took the note and walked away. Then she returned with a tray and served the wine to Leila, while discreetly passing the kitchen knife she wanted, over to her.


    Leila took the glass of wine and the knife. But she was more interested in the sharp Kitchen knife, so she kept the wine glass aside and held the knife in her hand.


    The flight attendant left her side immediately. She didn''t know why Leila needed a knife, but she knew things would be ugly soon, so she hurried away.


    Leila let out a dangerous smile as she c.a.r.e.s.sed the knife ????. Glancing towards the scar-faced man, she said to herself, ''Just sleep, because you wouldn''t even know how you died.''


    With that, she stood up and walked towards the scar-faced man in fluid steps. Before the man could open his eyes to take a look at the light that passed through his sight, he felt a stabbing pain in his c.h.e.s.t area, so he held that area and Browned in pain.


    "You bastard! die! you deserve death for betraying me!." Leila screamed as she took out the knife and stabbed his stomach with a ferocious look.


    Even with the pain, the scar-faced man tried to struggle with Leila, but how could she overpower him after she has stabbed him a few times.


    "You think you''re strong? Well, I''ll show you what it means to be powerless!." Leila said as she slapped his face.


    The man could only hold onto the places Leila stabbed to stop the bleeding while groaning in pain. He tried to call for help, but nobody answered him.


    "You need help?." Leila asked with a taunting smile.


    "How about I add a few more decorations to your face?." Leila said as she used the knife to carve the previous scars on his face.


    The man couldn''t help but cry out in pain.


    The Pilot didn''t know what was happening, but he knew that things were not going on well behind him. He was the pilot, and so needed to control the jet


    "What is happening in there, why don''t you want me to take a look?." One of the flight attendants asked the other one that passed the knife to Leila.


    "If you want to die, then go ahead and take a look."


    "Why are you being so mysterious?." The other one said and opened the door to take a look.


    The next moment she opened the door to take a look, she shut it the next moment with regret. The scene she saw, shocked her.


    "Are we all going to be stabbed to death?." She asked the other one.


    "What did you see?." The other one asked with a curious look.


    Leila saw the flight attendant open the door, and then shut it back, so she smiled and walked towards the door and banged on it with her bloody hands.


    "Open the right now!" She shouted.


    The flight attendant was so scared that she held onto her partner.


    "She has come to stab us after stabbing her bodyguard," she said in a hushed tone.


    Leila heard her and laughed hysterically outside just the door. "Who is going to kill you? I''m not going to kill you. I just wanted you to come and see my work of art. How can I kill you when we are all going to die today?."


    "What?!." The flight attendant that handed the knife to Leila said in a shocked tone.


    "You know, my husband wants me dead, so the Jet has been tampered with."


    Before Leila could laugh, she felt heavy footsteps behind her, so she turned with a sharp look and directly stabbed the scar-faced man on his heart, and he fell to the floor.


    "You sneaky! little! bastard!." Leila roared angrily as she took her knife out and knelt beside him to stab him a few more times till he stopped breathing.


    Seeing that he had finally stopped bleeding, Leila there her scattered hair backward and wiped her bloody face.


    The flight attendants heard the commotion and were scared out of their wits. They preferred to remain locked up rather than to come out and face the crazy woman.


    Leila staggered towards the pilot area and opened the door. The pilot was shocked when he saw her in that state with her face, hands, and clothes dyed with blood.


    Before the man could speak, Leila said to him slowly, "Land... this... thing... now!."


    "Yes... yes..." The pilot said incoherently as he started to touch a few things to land the plane. But a frown appeared on his face when nothing seems to be working.


    Leila already knew there was no way the plane was going to land because it has already been programmed, so she laughed again before placing her bloody hand on the pilot''s shoulder, who shivered with the touch.


    Leila lowered her head to whisper to his ear. "You can''t do anything, we are all going to die."


    "No, this can''t happen." The pilot said as he pressed a few more buttons just to try and land the plane, but it didn''t work.


    "Why don''t you listen to me? I said we are all going to die!." Leila screamed in the Russian language. Before, she has been speaking in English.


    "You all should be happy to accompany me to the other side of the World," Leila said as she smiled while c.a.r.e.s.sing the knife in her hand.


    The pilot was no longer afraid of her, he was more scared of dying.


    "Ma''am, there must be parachutes ???? in the jet, we can use them to escape!." The pilot said in a determined tone.


    Leila didn''t have any hope, because she knew the plan to kill her was well orc.h.e.s.trated. But still, she asked the flight attendant to check for the parachutes, but they found nothing.


    Within the next five minutes, they experienced turbulence and they could only cry as they watched the jet lose control and crash.


    Till the end, Leila didn''t cry. She could only laugh hysterically as the jet crashed.


    After the Jet crashed, it caught fire and their corpse was burnt beyond recognition.

 Chapter 547 - The News of her Death

    The drug Lord finally breathed in relief when the news of the crash was released.


    The reporters requested an interview when he came to the morgue to take one last look at his wife.


    He refused to comment and acted as if he was broken-hearted. But he managed to say a few words before leaving.


    The news of their death was not as simple as what the audience was let out on.


    During the investigation for the crash, it was discovered that the Jet crashed because of engine failure.


    Not only that, the forensic department, found out that the scar-faced man sustained injuries and died as a result of the stab injuries before his body was burnt due to the crash.


    It was only the drug Lord that knew about this, and he was brought in for questioning. They wanted to find out if he knew anything about the incident.


    Because the jet crashed in a deserted place, it took a long time for rescuers and firefighters to come.


    Now that he had finally gotten rid of his wife and buried her in a public cemetery, the drug Lord could now rest assured and continue to enjoy his life.


    The news reached Country C because Leila once dated Liu Longwei, so of course, it wouldn''t be surprising news if the people of C country found out about it.


    So that same day, it appeared on the newspaper headlines with these titles.


    ''The young wife of the Russian Business Tycoon dies in a jet crash


    "Business Tycoon''s ex dies in a Jet crash.''


    ''Boss Lu loses his first lover in a jet crash''


    ''Leila the wife to the Russian business tycoon and ex-lover to Boss Lu dies in a jet crash


    "The woman is dead, but they have to drag my dear grandson into this?. These people asking for trouble?."


    "Mother calm down. Now, these journalists dare to write about Longwei like this, this must be the work of his business rivals." Liu Huang said to comfort his mother.


    "That''s right. They must have taken advantage of the situation to make a scandal out of this." Madam Liu said with a frown.


    "I am so angry right now!. Liu Huang, make some calls and get rid of those tabloids and newspapers that dare to publish that nonsense. They are so brave to go against our Liu Family now." Old Madam Liu said.


    The Old woman was angry at seeing the news tabloids. How cold did she stand in the news headlines?


    Her grandson had already broken up with that girl long ago, but they were still associating her grandson with her.


    This fact annoyed her.


    Old Madam Liu has never liked Leila and she even asked Liu Longwei to break up with her because her intuition told her that she was a gold digger.


    Liu Longwei didn''t listen to his grandmother and continued dating Leila till his grandmother''s doubts were confirmed.


    Although Leila claimed that she was drunk and didn''t cheat on him purposely, Liu Longwei didn''t want to have anything to do with her again.


    First of all, she went to the club to drink and she lied about that when he asked where she was. So how could he believe that she wasn''t lying to him about the other fact?


    But in other to be fair and not to judge her, he made investigations and found out that Leila lied to him.


    Liu Longwei broke up with Leila, and the latter confessed that she still loved him even though she wronged him.


    "Longwei, I''m sorry. I love you. Although I''m going away, I will be back." Leila said to him before going to Russia with the drug lord to who she got married when they arrived in Russia.


    "Do you think Lihua has seen the news?." Liu Huang asked.


    "I have no idea. But I trust Lihua''s judgment that she wouldn''t jump to the conclusion, even though this kind of situation can be very annoying." Madam Liu said.


    "That''s right Lihua? How do we explain things to the Chen Family? I don''t think Longwei ever explained about his past love experiences to his wife." Old Madam Liu said.


    " I don''t think there will be a need to explain things to them. This is something that happened in the past." Liu Huang said.


    "Mother doesn''t worry, I believe Longwei can handle the situation. We only need to handle the Chen family, which is not necessary. But I will still call Ju Ju to inform her about this." Madam Liu said.


    Old Madam Liu sighed and held unto her forehead, as she could feel an incoming headache.


    Madam Liu asked the kitchen to make a soothing tea for Old Madam Liu, so he could calm her nerves down.


    When Madam Liu spoke to Lady Chen, the latter even laughed over the news.


    "It''s good that something like this happened, let the husband and wife settle things themselves. This kind of situation brings the couple closer."


    "Ehn! I thought you would be unhappy about the situation because you would feel Lihua was short-changed. But here you are, laughing about it. If only Lihua heard you, there would be a rift between you two." Madam Liu said to her over the phone.


    Sometimes, she wondered what was inside her friend''s head.


    "I''m only talking facts. My daughter will not agree with what I say, but what can she do about it? Alright... alright, I need to get back to work. Let''s hand out tomorrow afternoon alone." Lady Chen said to her.


    "Okay, see you tomorrow." Madam Liu said before the call ended, and then she went to report back to Old Madam Liu who was still waiting for her.


    "It''s a relief that they are not asking us for an explanation." Old Madam Liu said as she took a sip of the tea in her hand.


    "Mother I told you not to worry. JuJu is my friend and she is very understanding of any situation. You can relax now that the matter has been settled.

 Chapter 548 - Was his taste in women that bad?

    Old Mrs. Lu relaxed, but she was worried about Chen Lihua, so she asked her to call Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei was in his office when Asst. Duyi brought the news to him, including the newspapers.


    "Who published these?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Asst. Duyi knew his Boss was mad, so he gave a simple answer, and waited for his instructions.


    "I want them bankrupted before noon." Liu Longwei ordered.


    The headlines were suggestive and could easily lead people to misunderstand him.


    Actually, he didn''t have to be worried, because it was 1 in a million that cursed at him. The rest of the Netizens cursed the owners of the Newspapers, for the suggestive topic they used.


    "Yes, Sir." Asst Duyi said.


    Thinking about his pregnant wife and if she has seen the news, Liu Longwei became worried.


    His wife would not easily misunderstand him or get angry, as this was a thing of the past, but she was currently pregnant, and he was afraid that her raging hormones may cause her to be unhappy.


    The Chen Lihua he was worried about didn''t even learn of the news till around the time she was leaving for work.


    Liu Longwei saw his mother''s call, and so he pinched the space between his brows.


    He already knew the reason she was calling.


    "Longwei, have you seen the news? What are you doing to take care of the news? Lihua is pregnant, so you better explain things and placate her! Has she seen the news?!."


    Madam Liu bombarded him with questions.


    "Mum, I will take care of things at my end." Liu Longwei said to her.


    It took a little while for Madam Liu to recover herself. For a minute, she has forgotten how capable her son is.


    "Alright! Bring Taio and Lihua to the house this weekend, your grandmother wants to see them." Madam Liu said before ending be a conversation with him.


    After the call, Liu Longwei glanced at his phone and was in a dilemma. Chen Lihua has not called him and didn''t know if she had seen the news.


    Finally, he put his phone down and divided not to call her, and instead, will pick her from the hospital, and he did so!


    All the Newspapers that made suggestive headlines using Liu Longwei''s name, were sued and banned.


    This was not surprising to the people, because they knew who the Liu Family was, and nobody dared to mess with them and go scot-free.


    But since some people had the guts to find trouble first, they had to dance to the tune of the music.


    They all got what they deserved.


    The Owners of the different Newspaper publishing companies were full of regret that they couldn''t retrace their steps as it was too late.


    The little money they got from messing with Liu Longwei, was not even enough to pay the amount they were sued for, and now, they were completely banned from the Industry.


    What a pathetic life they have!


    Liu Longwei drove to SUH in other to pick Chen Lihua up.


    Chen Lihua was indeed angry with the news report for tainting her husband''s name.


    But after she saw the next headlines, she was a bit satisfied.


    They got what they were asking for!


    Picking her bag, Chen Lihua left her office and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.


    Today, she drove to the hospital in her car, while they followed her in another car. So as she was about to unlock her car with the keys after seeing her bodyguards standing a little away from her, a car honked, and she glanced towards it.


    "Ma''am, Boss is here to pick you up!." K2 said.


    "Where is he?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise as she took few steps towards them.


    "There!." K2 said as he pointed towards a midnight black car with the headlamps on.


    Chen Lihua was thinking if her husband was here to pick her up, why was he not coming out?


    Was he scared of being seen?


    There was a slight smile on his face as he walked towards her.


    "How are you?." He asked as he took her hand and led her back to his car.


    "I''m fine!." Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei settled her in the back seat of the car, before going to the driver''s seat. Then he ignited the engine and sped off, with the bodyguards, following them in the other cars.


    "Did something happen?." Chen Lihua asked.


    She was surprised when he helped her into the back passenger seat. What is going on?


    "What would happen? I came to pick up my pregnant wife, is there something wrong with it?." Liu Longwei asked with his gaze on the road.


    "You haven''t done this in a while. If you''re worried about me, then you don''t have to be, because I''m fine." Chen Lihua said with her gaze on him.


    ''Is he worried that I would be angry because of the news?''


    "I guess you''ve seen the news?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "The news about your ex-girlfriend dying in a jet crash? yeah, I''ve seen it." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Don''t you have any questions to ask? I''ve never really talked an out her, so I guess that you must be curious." Liu Longwei said.


    He was kind of surprised by how calm she was.


    "I have questions to ask, about what kind of past you have with her, but that will be when we get home. But I just hope you don''t have any more ex-girlfriends." Chen Lihua said as she looked away from him.


    "Is my wife jealous?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Do I look like wood without emotions? Tell me, how come you dated two women in the past, with this cold personality of yours?." Chen Lihua asked.


    She felt that with Liu Longwei''s personality, there was no way he would date two women, so she wanted to know why he dated them, and then ended up breaking up with them.


    Was his taste on women that bad?

 Chapter 549 - Take all my Attention

    On their way back home, Liu Longwei ended up telling Chen Lihua the entire story between him and Leila.


    Chen Lihua was surprised when she learned that Leila cheated on him.


    "Why would she cheat on you? You were a hot and sort after Bachelor with good looks, strong family background with notable achievements, so why on earth would she cheat on you?." Chen Lihua asked in a curious tone.


    "I guess she was being greedy and dissatisfied." Liu Longwei replied nonchalantly, before saying...


    "Why are you asking these irrelevant questions? Are you not happy that you have me?."


    "Why are you unhappy? I was only asking to know what would blindfold any girl to cheat on you when you were everything every girl would want in a partner. But it''s good she lost her chance!." Chen Lihua said with a smile, and only then did Liu Longwei smile.


    When they got home, Chen Lihua immediately went to find her son. Since the little guy got a tutor, she felt that he has been busy, even more than her.


    "Slow down." Liu Longwei said as he followed acted her in a worried tone.


    "I need to find my baby!." Chen Lihua said with a little urgency in her tone.


    "Your baby is not running away." Liu Longwei reminded her.


    Obviously, Liu Longwei has been wasting his time! Chen Lihua didn''t pay any attention to him.


    Chen Lihua felt that she wasn''t spending enough time with her son. Since he started receiving private lessons from his teacher, he really hasn''t troubled her much, and she kind of missed it.


    She still felt a little sad that her baby was too young for all of these. But this was the right thing to do.


    She couldn''t allow his gift to waste, and the best way was to nurture him and cultivate his gifts.


    When Chen Lihua found out her son was in his playroom, She immediately hurried over there with Liu Longwei behind her.


    When Taio saw his parents, he got up from the floor and walked to their side.


    Chen Lihua met him halfway and immediately lifted him with a smile. She kissed him all over his face.


    "Taio, mummy missed you, did you miss mummy?." Chen Lihua asked with a doting gaze on him.


    "I missed mummy!." Taio replied in a soft tone.


    "Awwn... my baby is so cute!." Chen Lihua said as she hugged the little guy. Then, she released him a while later.


    "Taio, greet your Daddy." Chen Lihua said to him as she pointed at Liu Longwei.


    "Welcome, Daddy!." Taio said as he clapped his hands with his smiling gaze on his father.


    Liu Longwei smiled at him and stretched his hands to take him away from Chen Lihua''s hold.


    "Has he eaten his lunch?." Chen Lihua asked Taio''s Nanny who has been standing at the side like an invisible person.


    "Yes, Ma''am." The Nanny replied.


    "Taio, tell mummy and Daddy what you learned today!." Chen Lihua said as she walked towards the spot he was sitting before he ran to them.


    She discovered the white cardboard paper and different colors of crayons on the floor.


    "Color painting," Taio replied as he wriggled out of his father''s embrace and rushed towards his mother''s side.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he walked to their side.


    The little guy sat on the rugged floor and picked a green crayon ?????.


    "It''s green!." Taio said as he showed it to his mother and father, before using it to scribble on the cardboard paper with his face full of excitement.


    "Good boy!." Chen Lihua exclaimed proudly as she kissed the little guy''s cheek, while Liu Longwei rubbed his head.


    Just like that, Taio continued to identify the colors of the crayon and then use it to paint the cardboard paper.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei were surprised that their little boy was able to identify the primary and secondary colors.


    "When did he learn this?." Chen Lihua turned to the Nanny to ask.


    "Today. His Tutor thought him about colors today." The Nanny replied.


    "Darling, our baby is a real genius!." Chen Lihua said in excitement.


    "Mmm. Anything you give birth to is a genius." Liu Longwei said in agreement with her, and also added his own words.


    The young couple helped their son to reverse everything he learned to fit the day.


    "You need to change out of these clothes into a more comfortable one." Liu Longwei said as he pulled her away.


    Taio got up to his feet and wanted to follow them, but Liu Longwei stopped him.


    "Taio, continue with colors, dad and mum are coming." Liu Longwei said to him in a gentle tone while pointing at his cardboard paper and crayons that were littered on the floor.


    The little guy glanced at his cardboard paper and crayons. The things were colorful and attractive to him, so he walked back to it and sat back on the floor.


    Chen Lihua who wanted to take him with them was speechless at the scene. She has wanted to call out to him when she saw that he wanted to follow them, but Liu Longwei managed to cover her mouth before she could open her mouth.


    Liu Longwei took her out of the room and then finally released her mouth.


    "Are you jealous because your son would take all of my attention?". Chen Li asked as they walked to their bedroom.


    "No one dares to snatch your attention from me. This weekend, let''s go back to the Liu Villa, grandma wants to see you and Taio, as she misses the two of you." Liu Longwei announced to her.


    "Are you coming with us as well?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I will think about it. For now, I have to go above our previous stocks. Because of the news, it was slightly shaken." Liu Longwei said to her.


    Initially, Chen Lihua was worried that the damage would be much but when she heard that almost everything was perfect and that the Liu stocks still stood in place and even increased, she was speechless.


    She went didn''t know what to say to him!

 Chapter 550 - Liu Longwei cooks for Chen Lihua

    That night, Liu Longwei did not let go of Chen Lihua. He made love to her till she pleaded with him to let her go.


    "Are you sure?." He asked in a hushed tone as he kept moving in and out of her with a fast speed.


    "Darling, slow down." Chen Lihua said to him as she let out a loud m.o.a.n.


    What she was feeling, was too intense, and Liu Longwei was driving her to the cliff, but she didn''t want to fall off, she only wanted to cling onto him tightly.


    Liu Longwei had little rationality left. He remembered that she was pregnant, so he slowed his pace, but he kept kissing her.


    At last, when he finally let go of her after they reached their climax, Chen Lihua was breathing in heavily as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.


    What an intense exercise!


    Liu Longwei laid beside Chen Lihua and panted for air. He then turned sideways and hugged his wife as he kissed her cheeks and neck.


    "I love you!." He whispered in her ears.


    "I love you!." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Let me hope you fit a little while." Liu Longwei said as he hugged her from behind and buried his face in the crook of her neck.


    "Darling?." Chen Lihua called out in a soft tone.


    "Mmmm..."


    "I''m hungry." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "Okay, come and wash up, and I will prepare something for you." Liu Longwei said as he kissed her and got off the bed, he also helped her get off the bed.


    The two n.a.k.e.d people walked into the bathroom and had a quick bath to cleanse traces of their lovemaking.


    Because his wife was hungry, he didn''t dare to waste time while helping her bathe.


    Quickly, they two had their bath and got dressed before taking the elevator to the ground floor.


    "What do you want to eat?." Liu Longwei asked as he walked into the kitchen with her.


    "Mmm... something sweet like sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of rice." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    Liu Longwei nodded in response, as he opened the deep freezer in search of the pork ribs.


    "Darling, let me help you." Chen Lihua said as she walked to the refrigerator, but Liu Longwei pulled her away.


    "Your husband wants to make food for you, be obedient and sit there." Liu Longwei said as he pushed to sit on a tool close to the door.


    "But I will feel more hungry if I only have to sit here and watch you cook." Chen Lihua complained with furrowed brows.


    Liu Longwei glanced at her, and then without saying anything, he picked two eggs and fried them, then he also picked out a loaf of sliced bread.


    "What are you doing?." Chen Lihua asked with a curious gaze.


    "You said you''re very hungry, so I can''t make you a sandwich ????. At least this will help you while you wait for the food you ordered." Liu Longwei said as continued preparing the sandwich.


    Chen Lihua felt so loved, so she thanked him with a happy smile.


    Quickly, Liu Longwei brought the sandwich to her and a glass of milk.


    "If I finish these, I don''t think there will be any space left to eat up the food I ordered." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at the food Liu Longwei set up before her.


    "That won''t be a problem, I will help you finish, I''m hungry as well." Liu Longwei said in passing as he began to prepare the ingredients needed for his wife''s order.


    "Hmm... does it mean that you lack stamina since you''re hungry just like me?." Chen Lihua asked as she took a bite from the sandwich with her gaze on him.


    Liu Longwei''s face darkened. Then he glanced at her and challenged her.


    "You are doubting my stamina? Why don''t I prove it to you?." He said as he walked towards her.


    "Husband I''m sorry, don''t mind me. How could I dare to doubt your capabilities? Just now, I was muddle-headed because of the hunger, so forget I said anything." Chen Lihua said to him.


    "Eat your food." Liu Longwei said to her before walking back to his previous location.


    An hour later, the food was ready, and Liu Longwei served it.


    Chen Lihua picked up her cutlery and started to eat. She savored the taste of the food in her mouth.


    "How is it, do you like it?." Liu Longwei asked.


    Chen Lihua gave him a thumbs-up and continued eating. The food was so delicious that she couldn''t bear to stop eating.


    This was the food her husband made for her. When the servants noticed they were in the kitchen, they came to help, but they got chased out by Liu Longwei.


    Seeing how she was rushing the food, Liu Longwei said to her with a smile, "slow down, the food is not running away."


    "I know, but I can''t resist the taste of the food. Don''t worry, I won''t get indigestion." Chen Lihua assured him as she continued to eat.


    There was a bowl of soup that Liu Longwei prepared for his wife. She didn''t ask to do it, but he knew it would help her, so he prepared it, and Chen Lihua liked it.


    Because of the way Chen Lihua was rushing the food, Liu Longwei was scared that she might have indigestion or discomfort from eating too much. But thankfully, she was okay.


    "Taio, do you want to see your grandmothers and grandfathers?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on him.


    Taio glanced at his mother and then blinked his eyes when he heard the question. He slowly nodded his head, before turning to glance at the Tv.


    "Okay, we are going to see your grandparent at weekend, and I will let you stay with them for a few days, so you can take a break from learning." Chen Lihua said to him.

 Chapter 551 - Taio is shy

    Taio glanced at his mother and then blinked his eyes when he heard the question. He slowly nodded his head before turning back to glance at the Tv.


    "Okay, we are going to see your grandparents at weekend, and I will let you stay with them for a few days so you can take a break from learning." Chen Lihua said to him in a soft tone.


    Taio did not respond as his attention was on the cartoon he was watching. Chen Lihua smiled and decided to let him be. He was still a little child after all.


    On Friday evening, Chen Lihua packed a handful of Taio''s clothes and his toys, before Liu Longwei drove them to the Liu Residence.


    It wasn''t Taio''s first time in this area, so he was quite calm when his father drove into the residence.


    Normally, Chen Lihua would be sitting in the front passenger seat, while Taio would be resting at the back passenger side, in his baby car seat. But this time around, Chen Lihua sat with him at the back passenger seat.


    She was going to leave her cute son here for a few days, so she wanted to be close to him. She cuddled him the entire journey to the Liu residence.


    Liu Longwei would glance at them from the rearview mirror with a smile as they journeyed.


    "Taio, you''re a big boy, so don''t cry when we leave you with your grandparents and great-grandma, okay?." Chen Lihua said to him in a calm tone.


    "I know, Mummy. I like grandma and grandpa, and great-grandma too." Taio said as he counted his tiny fingers.


    "What about mummy?." Chen Lihua asked while pointing to herself with a smile, and the little guy nodded happily.


    Turning her gaze to Liu Longwei, she pointed at him and then looked back at Taio with an expectant look. "What about Daddy?"


    Taio glanced at his father and looked back at his mother, then he replied with a smile, "I like Daddy!"


    Chen Lihua hugged the little guy and nearly suffocated him.


    "Honey, you are going to suffocate him." Liu Longwei reminded her.


    "Oh! I''m sorry baby. Let Mummy kiss you." Chen Lihua said to the little guy as she placed her hands on his shoulders and kissed him all over his face.


    Taio chuckled childishly as he tried to push his mother away, he felt tickled.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he watched the mother and son duo play at the back passenger seat.


    When they got to the Liu residence, Madam Liu was already waiting outside for them. When she saw their car driving in, she couldn''t help but reveal her beautiful smile.


    She also couldn''t wait to hold her grandson in her arms.


    Well, they were here already, so there was nothing to fret for.


    Liu Longwei parked the car, as two of the bodyguards that came with them, rushed over to open the car door for them.


    Madam Liu could no longer wait as she rushed to their side to greet her grandson.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei greeted her, and she responded before focusing her gaze on the little guy that was holding his mother''s hand.


    "Hello, grandma!" Taio saw his grandmother and smiled as he greeted her the way his mother thought him.


    Seeing her cute little grandson smile, and then greet her while waving at her, Madam Liu couldn''t help lifting him in her arms with a big smile plastered on her face.


    "Ah! See my grandson, he looks so cute and chubby." Madam Liu said as she kissed Taio''s cheeks,


    Taio blushed and turned to look at his mother with his arms stretched,


    "Heh! Are you scared of grandma?." Madam Liu asked in surprise.


    "Mother won''t mind him, he is shy." Chen Lihua replied with a smile but refused to carry Taio.


    "Oh! My baby is shy! Taio, Grandma is sorry, okay?." Madam Liu said to the little guy with a smiling gaze.


    Taio blushed more. Since his mother refused to carry him so he could escape from his grandmother, he decided to stretch his arms to his father.


    Liu Longwei smiled and wanted to reject him, but he thought a bit about the kind of relationship he had with his son.


    If  He rejects the little guy now, he may not easily reach out to him again, but for his mother, he loved her so much and wouldn''t hold a grudge against her.


    With that, Liu Longwei said to Madam Liu before taking Taio from her arms. "Mum, let me hold him."


    Madam Liu allowed him to take Taio from her arms.


    "Come, let''s go inside. The old Lady must be a little uneasy from waiting for her great-grandson." Madam Liu said as she led them in.


    Truly, the old lady of the Liu Family was uneasy from waiting for her great-grandson. Her daughter-in-law has been outside for a while now, and she clearly heard when the car drove in, so what was keeping them waiting?


    She was about to send a servant to go and check the situation when she heard the lively voice of her daughter-in-law, so she relaxed and waved the servant away, before smiling with her gaze at the entrance.


    "Aiyoh! Is that my grandson?" The Old lay of the Liu Family asked with a smile on her wrinkled face.


    When Taio heard the feminine-aged voice, he looked away from his grandmother and turned to fix his gaze on his great-grandma.


    "Hello, grandma." Chen Lihua greeted the old Lady with a warm smile as she walked towards her and hugged her.


    The Old Lady hugged her as well and even patted her back.


    "Oh my good granddaughter-in-law, how are you?." The Old Lady asked as she released Chen Lihua from the hug.


    "I''m a good grandma. I can tell you are very happy today." Chen Lihua said to her.


    "Yes, I''m happy to see your little family doing so great! Has my grandson been troubling you?." The Old Lady asked as she turned her gaze towards Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua chuckled softly. "No grandma, he has been so good to me."


    Madam Liu chuckled from the side when she saw her son''s helpless facial expression.

 Chapter 552 - He looked as if he was about to cry

    "Longwei what are you waiting for, bring my great-grandson to me." The old Lady said as she stretched out her arms with a smile.


    Hearing that the old lady wants him to come over, Taio held onto his father''s neck tightly and buried his face in his neck.


    Chen Lihua and Madam Liu chuckled instantly.


    "Eh! Is he scared of me?." The old Lady asked with a confused facial expression as she put her hands on her l.a.p.s.


    "Mum, that was the same question I asked when he chose to let his father hold him." Madam Liu said as she beamed with smiles.


    "Did I do something wrong?." The old Lady, asked, directing the question to Chen Lihua.


    "Mother, Taio is shy." Madam Liu said with a sigh.


    "Yes, grandma, Taio is shy. When Mother came to welcome him, she kissed his cheeks, and since then, he didn''t want her to hold him anymore." Chen Lihua explained.


    "Aiyoh! Bilu you must have scared my great-grandson, now, he doesn''t even want to say ''hello'' to this old lady." The Old Lady said with an admonishing gaze on Madam Liu.


    Taio glanced at the Old Lady as she watched her dramatic expression.


    "Taio, come and hug great-grandma, I won''t kiss you, I promise." The old lady said as she beckoned on the little guy to come to her.


    Taio glanced at his mother, who was staring at him with a smile, and then at his father who nodded in response, so he decided to obey the Old Lady.


    Well, he only agreed because the Old Lady said she wasn''t going to kiss him.


    His mother was the only one allowed to kiss him. A few times, he could manage his father.


    Liu Longwei out Taio down, so he could go to the old Lady himself.


    With steady steps, Taio walked to the old lady and stretched his little arms out to her for a hug.


    The Old Lady smiled brightly as she lowered her body to hug the cute little guy.


    Old Lady Liu didn''t dare to hold him for a long time for fear that he wouldn''t want her to go close to him anymore.


    "I''m so happy that my good child hugged me. Taio, great-grandma is happy." The old Lady said while patting his head with a doting smile.


    "Where is his luggage?." The Old Lady asked.


    She knew her great-grandson would be staying with her for a few days, so she had to ask for his bag when she didn''t catch sight of it.


    "It''s still in the car." Liu Longwei answered.


    "I will send someone to get it." Madam Liu said as she got up and walked away.


    The Old Lady smiled and focused her gaze back on Taio who had his gaze on her.


    The little guy had an inquisitive look on his face as he glanced at the Old Lady. He probably felt she was too old, as he could see the wrinkles on her face.


    Because he was sitting beside the Old Lady, he for to have a better look at her.


    "Do you like this Old Lady?." Old Madam Liu asked with a smile.


    Taio glanced at her eyes, before moving his gaze back to her face. Then instead of replying, he stretched his little arm to reach out to her face.


    Gently, he placed his soft and smooth palm on her face and slowly c.a.r.e.s.sed it.


    "Grandma, he is curious about your looks." Chen Lihua explained from the side.


    She was sitting on the same sofa as her son and the old Lady.


    "I see. He must be wondering the reason I have so many wrinkles on my face." The Old Lady said as she allowed Taio to continue c.a.r.e.s.sing her face.


    Taio withdrew his hand after feeling the wrinkled face of the old woman. Then with his gaze on her, he said...


    "Grandma, your face is soft."


    ''Hahaha...'' The old Lady chuckled heartily with her great-grandson''s response.


    Liu Longwei smiled from the side as Madam Liu returned.


    Sitting on the sofa, and before she could ask what was happening, the Old Lady said to her.


    "Bilu, just now, this child said my face is soft."


    "Our Taio has good eyes and knows how to praise your looks." Madam Liu said.


    After a few minutes of interacting with Taio, the Old Lady was more happy and satisfied.


    "Taio is very smart just like his father when he was at this age." Old Madam Liu said with a smile.


    "He is smarter. Lihua, Taio is so smart, do you and Longwei have plans to get him a tutor?." Madam Liu asked.


    "What tutor arrangement are you making? Taio is still young. If you young lovers are tired of taking care of him, just let him live with me, I will take care of him." The Old Lady said.


    Her great-grandson was too young and cute to send a tutor for him.


    "Grandma, Longwei, and I already arranged a tutor for him, and he is doing very well with his classes." Chen Lihua revealed.


    The Old Lady sighed, what could she say? There was nothing at all.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei stayed for 2 hours before they got ready to leave.


    "Taio, mummy, and daddy are leaving, come and say goodbye to us." Chen Lihua said to her son.


    "Hey! Good boy, don''t cry. Mummy and Daddy would come back later to pick you, okay?." Chen Lihua said to him with a gentle gaze, but the little guy started sniffing.


    "Oh my! It looks like the child is not comfortable with staying away from his parents." The Old Lady said with a sigh.


    Taio was used to seeing his mother every day of his life, and he was very close to her. Knowing that he was going to stay away from her for a few days, he was suddenly not happy with the arrangement.

 Chapter 553 - I am Miss Chens hooligan

    Chen Lihua squat in from of the little guy. Holding his tiny fingers, she stared directly at him as she said, "Taio, mum will be back to pick. I promise to call you every morning, afternoon and evening of every day okay? You already agreed to stay over for a few days."


    Taio pouted his lips and looked down while fiddling with his fingers.??


    Liu Longwei smiled and walked over, then he said to him, "You are a big boy. Stay with grandma and great-grandma."


    Taio looked up and fixed his gaze on his father. "But I''m mommy''s baby."


    "Yes, you are mommy''s baby." Chen Lihua said in agreement with him.


    Taio smiled and stretched his arms out for a hug. Chen Lihua smiled and hugged the little guy.


    "Kiss Mommy." Chen Lihua said to him.


    ''Mua...'' That was the sound is Taio kissing his mother''s cheeks.


    Liu Longwei hugged his son and patted his head before leaving Chen Lihua.


    The little guy kept waving at them until they disappeared from his sight.


    "Taio, let''s go in." Madam Liu said while stretching her hand to him.


    Taio took his grandmother''s hand and followed her into the house.


    Madam Liu was all smiled when that soft pal came in contact with her. She couldn''t help but think about kissing him again, but she restrained herself.


    "Do you think Taio will be okay?." Chen Lihua asked on their way home.


    "Yes, he will be. If he cries a few times, it won''t be a bad thing. He is a guy, and he should learn to adapt to different environments, without us." Liu Longwei said.


    "Taio is the son I have raised, it''s still a little hard for me to let him out of my sight for so long." Chen Lihua said in a sad tone.


    "A week is not a long time. And besides, he''s staying with his family. When your mother learns he''s over there, she will want him to come over."


    Chen Lihua looked bewildered as she asked, "Are you saying my son won''t return to me in a week?."


    "Yes. So prepare your mind for it. You don''t need to feel alone, I''m here with you." Liu Longwei added with a smile.


    "Now I see the reason Taio is away from home, so there will be no interruption with you eating me up." Chen Lihua said to him with a smile.


    "Your mind is dirty. Did I say anything?."


    "You don''t need to say anything before I can guess what you''re thinking. Tell me now, how many times are we going to do it before Taio''s return?." Chen Lihua asked.


    She went straight to the point without caring about her image at all.


    Singer when did she become so brazen? Or maybe the pregnancy hormones are at work.


    "At least once a day because of the baby." Liu Longwei replied.


    "You... you... shameless!." Chen Lihua said. She could only blame herself for giving him the platform without negotiation.


    Liu Longwei chuckled and moved his hand to c.a.r.e.s.s one side of her face, with the other hand on the steering.


    "Don''t be annoyed baby. I can''t help loving you. What do you want to eat, I will cook it for you?"


    "You will cook for me?." Chen Lihua asked with a delighted gaze.


    She enjoyed her husband''s cooking, but because of his busy work schedule, she didn''t want to disturb him. But now he optioned to cook for her, why will she reject him?


    "Yes, anything at all. Tell me what you want to eat, once we get home, I will prepare it for you." Liu Longwei promised.


    "Okay. I want to eat Jalebi." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "What? What is that?." Liu Longwei asked with a glance at her ????. He didn''t have an idea of what that is.


    "It''s an Indian sweet. Can you make it?" Chen Lihua asked with an expectant gaze.


    "Sweetheart, I really don''t know what that is. Maybe if you give me the recipe, I can give it a try, but I doubt it will come out good."


    "I think I will make it myself, you only need to watch me so next time, you will prepare it."  Chen Lihua said as she clapped her hands. She was already excited.


    "Mmm..." Liu Longwei hummed in response. He was not surprised his wife would crave Indian sweets.


    Chen Lihua was still excited when she recalled something from the past.


    "Darling, can you remember the first time I came to your house, our first house?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Yes, what about it?." Liu Longwei asked with his eyes on the road.


    "You gave me a glass of juice, I couldn''t finish it, and you finished it for me. Was it because you don''t like wasting food, or for some other reason?." Chen Lihua asked with a curious gaze.


    Liu Longwei recalled the incident and gave a low-toned laugh.


    "Silly. If I don''t like wasting food, does it mean I will help to finish the food people remained?."


    "So does that mean you had another reason for drinking from the same glass at me at that time?." Chen Lihua asked as her heart skipped a beat.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he confessed.


    "Of course. At that time, I liked you a lot already, and I wanted to know what your lips will taste like, and there was no way I would be so direct and scare you away, so I could only do it that way."


    "Wow! You were already a hooligan when we met." Chen Lihua said with an incredible facial expression.


    "I am Miss Chen''s hooligan." Liu Longwei replied shamelessly.


    "Who taught you that?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "It''s an instinct when a man meets a woman he loves." Liu Longwei replied.


    Chen Lihua couldn''t argue with him. She let him fiddle with her fingers while the other hand rested on the steering.


    "Sweetheart, I want to kiss you." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "Wait till we get home, you''re driving." Chen Lihua replied.


    "I''m in a hurry. You just reminded me of the past." Liu Longwei insisted while blaming her.

 Chapter 554 - I want my Jalebi

    "Wait till we get home, you''re driving." Chen Lihua replied.


    "I''m in a hurry. You just reminded me of the past." Liu Longwei insisted while blaming her.??


    "Fine, you can have your way." Chen Lihua said as she gave in to him.


    Liu Longwei smiled to himself as he pressed a button, then the steering became straight. He still had his foot on the pedal, and because he couldn''t take it off, Chen Lihua had to be the one to move closer.


    Liu Longwei held her neck and face as he immediately captured her lips.


    Chen Lihua held his shoulders and kissed him back.


    Because they were on the road, they didn''t take things too far.


    "Sweetheart, that was not enough, I want more." Liu Longwei said as he took hold of the steering again.


    "When we get home, I will give you more." Chen Lihua said as she shut her eyes. She was suddenly embarrassed and didn''t want to face him.


    Liu Longwei chuckled softly and reminded her to keep her promise.


    When they got home, Chen Lihua phoned Taio to talk to him, so he could feel at ease.


    Chen Lihua got a learning note tab for him, and she inserted a line to it, so she could call and the little guy could receive the call as taught by his father.


    Chen Lihua was very happy seeing her son''s face.


    He was currently eating and being fed by his grandmother.


    "Mother, you can let him eat by himself." Liu Longwei said from the side.


    "But I don''t want to, I want to feed my grandson." Madam Liu said with a smile as she fed Taio.


    Taio had his food timetable with him, so Madam Liu ordered the kitchen to follow it.


    Chen Lihua as a doctor will never joke about her son''s diet. She made a great effort to make a great meal plan for him.


    "Are you satisfied now?." Liu Longwei asked as he higher her from behind and nibbled on her neck.


    "I am. Talking to my son makes me happy." Chen Lihua replied as she placed her hands on top of his.


    "What about your husband?." Liu Longwei asked as he stuck his tongue out and licked the side of her neck.


    "Talking to my husband makes me feel loved." Chen Lihua replied with her eyes closed, and a smile on her lips.


    "Really?." Liu Longwei asked in a hushed tone as he slipped his hand inside her shirt from her waist area.


    "Mmm." Chen Lihua responded when the hot palm c.a.r.e.s.sed her abdomen, while his lips continued to tease her neck.


    Just when Liu Longwei''s fingers touched the hem of her p.a.n.t.i.e.s, Chen Lihua pushed him away.


    "What?." Liu Longwei said with open arms.


    "I want my Jalebi." Chen Lihua said as she walked out of the room.


    When they got to the kitchen, Liu Longwei followed Chen Lihua''s instruction to bring out the ingredients she asked for.


    An hour later, Chen Lihua was sitting at the dining table and staring at her handwork.


    "Why are you not eating?." Liu Longwei asked with his gaze on her.


    "I''m not hungry." Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Longwei was surprised by the turn of events. This was the same woman that said she wanted Jalebi, and because of that, she ended their romance and ran over to the kitchen to make some.


    Now after their combined efforts, the Jalebi was ready, but what was she saying?


    What did she mean by she wasn''t hungry?


    "Why?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "I don''t know, but I don''t feel like eating this anymore." Chen Lihua said.


    "At least, try a bite to see if you will like it. You can waste your efforts." Liu Longwei said to her in a gentle tone.


    Chen Lihua frowned, but still, she picked a piece of jalebi and took a bite from it. She managed to swallow what she has chewed with a deep frown.


    "What''s wrong, you really don''t like it?" Liu Longwei asked as he passed her a glass of water.


    Chen Lihua drank from the glass before replying. "The taste is weird. Please take a bite and see if it turned out well."


    "I have not tasted this sweet before, how will I know if it turned out well?." Liu Longwei asked as he picked up a Jalebi and glanced at it.


    "You will know once you have a taste." Chen Lihua said to him with an anticipating gaze.


    Liu Longwei took a bute from the Jalebi and chewed on it, as his mouth made crispy sounds.


    "It tastes nice." Liu Longwei replied as he finished the piece in his mouth.


    "I don''t know why it tastes weird, maybe is my hormones. Darling, since I can''t eat it, please finish it for me." Chen Lihua said with an exciting gaze as she pushed the bowl of Jalebi to his side.


    Liu Longwei glanced at the bowl of sweets and then back at his wife that was staring at him with an anticipating gaze.


    The Jalebi was too sugary for him, at this point, he was wishing their son to be around, so he could accompany him to at least, eat some of it.


    But too bad the little guy was sleeping with his grandmother.


    Liu Longwei had a hard time finishing the sweets because Chen Lihua made a lot.


    Chen Lihua felt satisfied, and her stomach, full from watching her husband eat the food she made.


    When he finished eating, Chen Lihua washed the plate, before linking her arm to Liu Longwei to go upstairs.


    This night, Liu Longwei didn''t trouble Chen Lihua for s*x. He really was not in the mood.


    Chen Lihua slept peacefully in Liu Longwei''s embrace. She even had a dream where she was cooking food was kept on serving Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua was very happy in her dreams, and the physical.

 Chapter 555 - The little guy runs away from his grandmothers

    Taio stayed with his paternal grandparents for 3 days before Lady Chen came to take him away.


    Lady Chen learned from her friend, Madam Bilu that the little guy has been at her place, and there was no way the latter wouldn''t want to enjoy the company of her grandson, so she immediately came over.??


    At first, Madam Bilu thought she was joking when she said she was coming over to take her grandson, so she didn''t take it to heart.


    But when she saw Lady Chen was serious, she was in a dilemma.


    "Ju Ju, you can come after 4 days to take him, we haven''t spent a lot of time with him. And besides, he''s already getting closer to me now." Madam Bilu said to her dearest friend.


    "Bilu, you may not know this, but I have been busy at the company and with business summits, so I didn''t have time to visit my grandson. Now that I managed to push the responsibilities to someone else, I have to spend time with him."


    Lady Chen said as if she had no choice.


    This woman was truly an actress! Could she really tell the truth that she was jealous and hence came over to take the little guy away?


    Of course, there was no way she would reveal her secrete.


    "You can move your schedule backward, then after four days, you can move it forward and come for Taio." Madam Liu said as she tried to negotiate with her stubborn friend.


    "Aiyah! Bilu, you should really think of me. I have been busy at work all day, and I finally found time to be with my grandson after a lot of effort, just let me take him away. And besides, it was hard for his mother to let him out of her sight for this long, do you think she would still want him to stay away when 7 days is over?."


    Lady Chen Knew her daughter well. She knew Chen Lihua wouldn''t let the little guy out of her sight for more than a week.


    And Knowing she wouldn''t let her take Taio from the Liu''s when the week was over, Lady Chen knew she wouldn''t have another chance soon, of spending time with her grandson, alone. Hence, she insisted on taking the little guy with her.


    "But Lihua is your daughter, and she will listen to you when you tell her you want to spend time with Taio." Madam Liu said with a frown.


    "Do you think she will listen to me? Just think about a mother that is obsessed with her child, do you think she will easily let him out of her sight?." Lady Chen retorted.


    "There is a chance." Madam Li replied.


    "Yes, there is indeed a chance..."


    "... a slim chance. So you see, I can''t take any risks."


    "Ju Ju..."


    Madam Liu was about to refute her words when the old lady called out to them.


    "What are you two grandmothers arguing about? Can you see Taio staring at the both of you while you two are trying to negotiate him like he is a product?" Old Madam Liu said with a glare.


    As their attention was called, the two grandmothers, glanced at their cute grandson, to see he was actually staring at them.


    The two women were embarrassed because they could guess that Taio heard and understood that they were arguing because of him.


    Taio saw the gaze of his two grandmothers on him, he looked away and walked to his great-grandmother''s side.


    "Good boy, stay with great-grandma." The old lady said as she assisted the little guy to climb to her side.


    Taio sat by the old lady''s side, and from there, he fixed his gaze on his two grandmothers. Now that he was far from them, they could argue all they wanted.


    ''Did he just run away from us?''


    ''Was he frightened by us?''


    Glancing back at Taio who had his curious gaze at them, they cleared their throats and stopped talking.


    "Ju Ju, why did you come to take my great-grandson away?." The Old lady asked as she fixed her gaze on Lady Chen.


    "Old Lady, I want to spend some time with my grandson as well." Lady Chen said in a soft tone.


    "It''s not a bad thing. You should wait till 4 days is over, then you can go and ask Lihua about it. This Old lady asked for my great-grandson''s company from his mother. And it was out of filial piety that she brought him to me. If you want to spend time with Taio, you have to go through the official process."


    The old lady said while gesturing with her hands.


    "Official process? What official process?." Lady Chen asked with furrowed brows.


    "If you want to take Taio, you will have to ask Lihua. After spending some efforts to get my great-grandson to come to my side, can I easily release him to you?" The Old lady asked as she looked away.


    But still, how could she leave empty-handed? She didn''t come to see her grandson and then go back the Chen Villa, she came to take him with her!


    So how could she leave without him?!


    Lady Chen was stubborn and talked to the old lady for a long time until her mouth started hurting, and only then did the old lady, give her face.


    The old lady turned to the little guy to ask, "Your grandmother wants to take you with her to spend a few days, are you willing to go with her?."


    Taio glanced at Lady Chen and saw the expectant look on her face, and slowly nodded in approval.


    Lady Chen almost jumped for joy. She wanted to rush to the little guy''s side, but she was scared of frightening him, so she tried hed to play cool while smiling at him.


    Madam Liu felt a little bitter about the situation, she didn''t want her grandson to leave her side!


    "Don''t rejoice so soon, we still need to ask for the mother''s approval." The Old Lady said with her gaze on Lady Chen.


    Immediately, black lines appeared on Lady Chen''s forehead.

 Chapter 556 - Lady Chen succeeds in taking Taio with her

    "Don''t rejoice so soon, we still need to ask for the mother''s approval." The Old Lady said with her gaze on Lady Chen.


    Immediately, black lines appeared on Lady Chen''s forehead.??


    Old Madam Liu put a call through to Chen Lihua, who was sitting in her office.


    "... so, she wants to take him with her to spend the remaining days." Old Madam Liu reported.


    "Grandma did Taio agree to that?." Chen Lihua asked.


    Glancing at the little guy who was paying attention to her, the Old lady smiled before turning her attention back to the call.


    "Yes."


    Chen Lihua smiled and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, could I please trouble you to pass the phone to my mother?."


    "Ju Ju" Old Madam Liu called out as she passed the phone to Lady Chen.


    Lady Chen walked up and took the phone from her. Placing the phone in her ear, she said, "hello baby!"


    "Oh, mum! don''t call me that! I know what you want. I will allow Taio to leave with you, but you have to promise not to suffocate him with your sweet gestures, or he will run away from you."


    "Sweet gestures?." Lady Chen asked as she couldn''t recall any of her actions related to the ''sweet gesture''


    "Mum seriously, forget it. Don''t smooch my little guy every time you find him cute. You can play with him, but don''t be overly intimate with him, or you will scare him. Taio is shy, and with your personality, he is likely to run away from you." Chen Lihua said in one breathe.


    Chen Lihua knew her mother well. She was just like her, and they both couldn''t stand Taio''s cuteness. They would kiss and hug him.


    Now, Taio didn''t have any problem with his mother acting that way. But for outsiders, he didn''t want them to act that way, because he believed only his mother could act that way towards him.


    As for his father, there was no problem with that, because the man doesn''t act that way.


    After listening to Chen Lihua''s advice for a while, Lady Chen passed the phone back to the old lady.


    As far as she would still get her grandson at the end of the day, she wouldn''t mind listen to Chen Lihua advice and teach her how to take care of a child.


    Since Chen Lihua had agreed to let the little guy go with her, the old lady reluctantly agreed to let Lady Chen take the little guy with her.


    Lady Chen was all smiles as she took the hand of the little boy. Turning to Madam Liu win a smile, she said to her, "Bilu, I would have to trouble you to get my grandson''s bags, ready."


    "Look at you, you can''t even hide how proud you are now." Madam Liu said.


    "Why should I hide it? I''m taking my grandson with me, so of course, I have to be happy! And do you know what? He is going to stay with me longer than he did with you." Lady Chen said.


    "Ju Ju, have you forgotten that I''m here?." The Old lady said from the side.


    "How can I forget the great one is still here? Old lady, don''t mind me, I was only rejoicing for the victory." Lady Chen said to her with a smile.


    "Ju Ju, you are really childish now. I will let you take Taio, but there will be no next time." Madam Liu said to her.


    "Alright, I have heard you. Get my grandson''s bag already, I can''t wait to take him home!" Lady Chen said in an excited tone as she glanced at the little guy.


    The little guy glanced at her without saying anything.


    Madam Liu sighed and sent a servant to gather Taio''s things. Why giving out instructions, she felt like she was sending her grandson away.


    Then, she blamed herself for constantly rubbing the fact that Taio was with them, on Lady Chen''s face. That must be what prompted her to come over.


    Lady Chen had the Liu''s at heart, so she did not leave immediately. She spent another hour with them before taking Taio with her.


    Throughout their journey to the Chen Villa, the little guy was obedient and kept looking around.


    Lady Chen felt his curious gaze was too cute, and she was about pinching his cheeks when she recalled Chen Lihua''s warnings.


    sighs... ''I can''t even touch my grandson so freely?''


    ''It must be your mother''s fault for always hauling you. Look, now she has made you shy because she doesn''t let you out of her sight.''


    Lady Chen said to herself as she looked pissed off.


    During their journey, Lady Chen kept talking to the little guy. At times, he would reply to her in short soft words, and at the other times, he would just listen.


    When they arrived at the Chen Villa, Lady Chen came stepped out of the car and lifted the little guy in her arms.


    "Lady, you succeed in bringing him over." Butler Li said as he walked towards them to carry Lady Chen''s handbag.


    Lady Chen was all smiles as she replied, "Why not? Don''t you trust me? When last did you see fail at something?."


    "Ah! it''s my bad!"


    Turning to Taio who was in her arms, he greeted him. "Welcome home grand-young master."


    Taio blinked his eyes as he fixed his gaze on him.


    When Butler Li thought he wouldn''t receive a response, he heard the cute voice from the little guy.


    "Hello!." Taio greeted politely, just like his mother thought him.


    "Aiyoh!." The Butler said out of happiness as he stepped back for them to pass.


    Lady Chen patted Taio''s head with a smile as she walked past the Butler.


    "Grandma, I can walk by myself," Taio said in Lady Chen''s arms.


    "Grandma can carry you." Lady Chen said in enthusiasm.


    "But grandma is old, and Taio is heavy," Taio said in his cute little voice.


    "Oh! my grandson is worried about my health? What a cute little guy you are, your mother thought you well." Lady Chen said as she kissed his forehead fire letting him out of her arms.


    Then Holding his hand, they walked into the house, together.

 Chapter 557 - Are you trying to fatten him up?

    Taio had a fun time at the Chen residence, as Lady Chen really prepared before bringing him over.


    There was a playground made for him.??


    Lady Chen and Chen K indulged him a lot. They don''t scold him and let him do what he wanted.


    Taio had a food plan, which Chen Lihua made sure he adheres to. The Liu family followed it, but trust Lady Chen to do her thing once in a while.


    Taio was limited to the sweet things he eats in a day, like chocolates, sweets, candies, etc.


    Sometimes, Lady Chen would follow the rules, and sometimes, she would add a little extra.


    Chen Weiyuan couldn''t stay away from the little guy as well. Once he comes back from work, he would freshen up and find the little guy to play with him.


    These days, his parents have been leaving most of the work to him.


    Lady Chen took leave, while on the other hand, Chen K would leave work early, so he would have a lot of time to play with his grandson.


    Chen Weiyuan felt it was unfair to him, but no matter how bad he felt, he still needed to settle the company matters before returning home.


    In the evenings, he would do a little exercise with Taio. The little guy was so active and obedient. But when he wants to act stubborn, you will definitely remove your cap for him.


    When the 4th day passed and Lady Chen did not bring Taio home, she was a bit annoyed and had to place a video call.


    Lady Chen didn''t want to answer the incoming call, but when she received a threatening message from Chen Lihua, she had no choice but to accept the video call.


    The message said, ''Mum, if you don''t accept the video call, I will come and take my son back, and then I won''t hand him over to you again!.''


    Seeing that threat, why wouldn''t Lady Chen answer the call?


    "Hehehe... this child, you are threatening your mother now?." Lady Chen asked as she patted her hair.


    "Mum, what''s your reason for not sending my son back to me?." Chen Lihua asked. She was sitting in the living room.


    "I went shopping with Taio, and we came back late." Lady Chen replied.


    "What?! You took him shopping? Mum!" Chen Lihua called out angrily.


    Lady Chen thanked God that she didn''t connect the phone to the earpiece otherwise, her ears would have exploded.


    With a frown, she asked, "Why are you shouting?."


    "Mum, hope my son was not photographed? I don''t trust you at all. If Taio''s identity is revealed, I will bring your house down!." Chen Lihua threatened.


    At this point, Liu Longwei appeared behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.


    "Hello, Mum!". Liu Longwei greeted Lady Chen.


    "Hello, Longwei!." Lady Chen replied before fixing her gaze back to Chen Lihua.


    "Lihua, how do you think I will be so careless as to let Taio''s face be seen? You don''t even trust me? I reserved the whole store just to enjoy shopping with my grandson. It was just Manager Sun and Baozhai that accompanied us to shop. Your father joined us, as well."


    With her mother''s revelation, Chen Lihua calmed down a lot. She had been afraid that her mother wouldn''t hold back and show Taio off, even to her friends.


    "Mum, what did you and dad buy for him?." Chen Lihua asked as she felt an incoming headache.


    "Nothing much! Why are you asking, you will see them when we send him home?" Lady Chen said as and looked away.


    She didn''t want that brat screaming in her ears again. Just wait till she sees the loads of items they got for the little guy!


    "Mum, where is my son, I want to see him." Chen Lihua said.


    She hasn''t seen her son for more than 24 hours and she missed him.


    Lady Chen sighed and had the Butler, call Chen Weiyuan over.


    "Is that sister on the phone?." Chen Weiyuan asked as he walked over with Taio in his arms.


    "Yes, bring Taio over, she wants to see him." Lady Chen replied.


    The little guy was eating some gummy bears and was very comfortable in his uncle''s arms. Learning that his mother was on the phone, he hurriedly put the remaining gummy bears in his mouth and chewed on them as quickly as possible.


    What was going on in little mind was that his mother wouldn''t be happy if she saw him eating gummy bears at night.


    Chen Weiyuan brought Taio to Lady Chen''s side. He said hello to Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei before walking to another sofa, to sit.


    "Mummy!" Taio called it with a smile as he waves his little arms.


    Chen Lihua smiled and called out to him as well.


    "Did you miss Mummy?." She asked.


    "Yes, I missed mummy!." The little guy replied enthusiastically.


    Chen Lihua allowed him to exchange greetings with Liu Longwei.


    Chen Lihua frowned as she gazed intently at Taio. She couldn''t help but ask when she noticed that the corner of his lips looked like it was smeared with something.


    "Taio, what did you eat?." Chen Lihua asked.


    Taio glanced at Lady Chen, who looked helpless. Glancing back at his mother who was waiting for his reply, he replied in a soft tone.


    "Gummy bears."


    "Who gave them to you?." Chen Lihua asked as a frozen appeared on her face.


    Taio glanced at his uncle who had looked away, before turning back to the screen to answer his mother, "It''s uncle."


    Chen Lihua felt so vexed that she asked Lady Chen to direct the camera to her brother, so she could see him.


    "Brother, you gave my son so many calories late at night, are you trying to fatten him up?." Chen Lihua asked angrily.


    Chen Weiyuan waved his hands in denial, as he felt a little afraid that his junior sister, has become a tigress.


    "Mum, I want to see my son when I return from work tomorrow. Greet dad for me."


    Fixing her gaze on the little guy, she said to him in a gentle tone, "Taio, no more gummy bears late at night. Sleep early, I will see you tomorrow, good night."


    When the call ended, Chen Weiyuan asked, "Mum, will Lihua let us take Taio again?."


    "What do you think?. Who asked you to give Taio gummy bears when it''s past 7 pm? Have you seen me do that before?" Lady Chen asked as she pointed at him.


    "But you usually give him a little bit more." Chen Weiyuan said with a frown.


    "During those times, did you see me go that late at night?." Lady Chen asked angrily.

 Chapter 558 - Dongmeis reaction towards her pregnancy

    "But you usually give him a little bit more." Chen Weiyuan said with a frown.


    "During those times, did you see me do that late at night?." Lady Chen asked angrily.??


    Chen Weiyuan felt so wrong, but he couldn''t voice his thoughts. Anyway, he was at fault, so he wouldn''t try to argue with her.


    Taio blinked his eyes as he gazed between his grandmother and Uncle.


    Lady Chen glared at Chen Weiyuan before standing to her feet.


    "Taio comes to grandma, I''m going to wipe your mouth clean." Lady Chen said as she stretched her hands to the little guy.


    Taio walked up to her and took her fingers in his small palm.


    As they walked away, Taio asked in a soft tone, "Grandma, are you angry with Uncle?"


    "Even my little guy noticed it?." Lady Chen asked with a smile, and Taio nodded in response.


    Lady Chen smiled as she replied to him, "I am angry with your uncle. He fed you gummy bears late at night, and your mother found out, and now, she is angry, and may not let me take you away next time."


    "I will follow you!." Taio said.


    Lady Chen stopped in her steps and sweat in front of him to ask in an excited tone. "You will follow me if I come to get you?."


    "Yes." Taio nodded with a serious facial expression.


    "Ah! thank you, my little grandson. Now, your mother can''t stop me from taking you with me next time." Lady Chen cried out joyfully as she embraced the little guy.


    Taio frowned and thought that maybe he made a mistake. His grandmother was about to squeeze him to death. But thank God the hug didn''t last for long.


    Lady Chen was so happy. She took Taio to clean his mouth, before letting him watch the TV.


    The next day, she brought Taio back to Chen Lihua with some boxes ???? of various sizes.


    Chen Lihua''s was rendered speechless when she saw the servants carrying several boxes inside the house.


    "Mum, why on earth did you get so many things for him?." Chen Lihua asked as she turned to Lady Chen.


    "Is it your business? I am so rich, can''t I buy a few things for my grandson?." Lady Chen said in an unpleasant tone.


    "Did you say a few things?." Chen Lihua asked in amazement.


    She knew her mother wasn''t going to do simple shopping. When she heard over the phone that she took Taio shopping, she knew it would be over.


    Her mother has never failed her. In fact this time around, she far exceeded her thoughts.


    "It''s just a few things. My grandson should enjoy much more privileges. Maybe the next time I come to take him, we will go for a vacation." Lady Chen said as she patted the little guy''s hair with a gentle smile.


    Just remembering the fact the little guy sad he would follow her the next time she came to pick him up, made her very happy.


    "Taio, come to mummy. I haven''t seen you in a long time." Chen Lihua said she called her son over.


    Taio walked to her side with a straight face.


    Chen Lihua took a good look at him before saying with a frown, "It looks like you put on more weight than usual. I will check your weight later."


    "Are you going to make him lose the weight if you find out that he added a few pounds?." Lady Chen asked with a smirk.


    "Mum, what did you feed my son, I''m sure you didn''t follow his food plan strictly?."


    "It''s just the normal food we eat. Don''t worry about his diet, I only fed him a lot of healthy food." Lady Chen assured her with a smile.


    Chen Lihua sighed before gazing back at the little guy and she helped him to get on the couch.


    "I don''t see Longwei, is he not back fr work yet?." Lady Chen asked.


    "He has a meeting with a big client, so he will be back a bit late today." Chen Lihua replied.


    "I see... I''ll be leaving now. Take care of yourself and your children. If you need to eat something, do let me know, and I will cook it and send it over." Lady Chen said to her.


    Talking about her cravings reminded Chen Lihua of her cravings. She forgot to ask her mother for something before she came, but now she mentioned it, Chen Lihua decided to inform her about it.


    "Mum, if you find time this weekend, please make some Jalebi and send it over."


    "No problem, I will make more than enough for you." Lady Chen said.


    She hugged Taio and said goodbye to him before leaving.


    "Taio, what did your grandmother feed you when you went there?." Chen Lihua asked her little guy when her mother disappeared.


    "Food," Taio replied with his gaze on her.


    "What kind of food did she give to you?" Chen Lihua asked.


    Taio went ahead to list the kind of food he ate in his two grandma''s homes.


    As minutes turned into hours, and hours into days, Liu Dongmei has not been feeling okay. She just discovered she was pregnant for almost two months, and she was not happy about it.


    The pregnancy was unplanned, and she wasn''t even ready to have another child.


    Although she talked with Huiling about it before she traveled out, that didn''t mean she was ready to handle another child, soon.


    This was the plan she had for the future and not now.


    Discovering she was pregnant, Dongmei was so angry that she talked to her husband angrily. When he tried to talk to her about it, she wouldn''t even listen to him.


    She has been moody these days and has not been eating properly. She was almost always distracted from her work because of her current state of mind.


    She wanted to get rid of the baby since she was not ready for it, but it would be an abominable act, so she evacuated that thought from her mind.

 Chapter 559 - Liu Dongmeis fear

    Liu Dongmei has been in a terrible mood since she found out about her pregnancy. Mu Boqin has been trying to talk to her, but she''s not letting him in.


    Mu Boqin was already getting frustrated with her actions of not wanting to talk to him, just like right now.??


    Ever since she kicked him away from their bedroom, she hasn''t let him come in there to find her.


    "Mei, we can talk about this okay? It''s all my fault, I should have used a c.o.n.d.o.m, but I was so aroused by seeing you after the two weeks business trip. I''m sorry, let''s talk about this in a good way instead of shutting me out."


    "Go away, I don''t want to see you, D.i.c.kHead!" Liu Dongmei said in a raised tone as she threw an object to the door.


    "Mei, stop throwing the tantrum, be careful with the baby. You will be three months soon." Mu Boqin said carefully.


    "What? You still care about the baby and not me?." Liu Dongmei asked in anger.


    "What? When did I say that? I''m only caring about you two. If the baby is hurt, you will be hurt as well. As much as I love and care about you, I also do the same for our children, they are our flesh and blood."


    "You trying to sweet talk me is not going to walk this morning, so I prefer if I don''t hear your voice. Go away, I want my peace back!." Liu Dongmei said in a heavy tone.


    "Mei?." Mu Boqin called out in a gentle tone as he knocked on the door, but he didn''t receive any response.


    Liu Dongmei was in tears as she sat on the rugged floor. She was really scared for her life. She had a fear deeply rooted in her mind.


    Since the last time she almost lost her life during childbirth, she has been afraid of getting pregnant again.


    And seeing what Chen Lihua went through during Taio''s birth, reminded her of her trauma, so she has really been on tenterhooks.


    Although Huiling talked to her about her fears, and she agreed to think about having another child, she still wasn''t thought about it, and also wasn''t ready, so learning she was pregnant, she had every right to act that way.


    Mu Boqin was about to call out to his wife when a soft voice called out to him.


    "Daddy is mum in there?." Angel asked as she approached her father in steady footsteps.


    "Yeah. Angel, I have to go to work, please help to talk to your mother and help her feel better when I''m away." Mu Boqin said as he gazed at his daughter with a gentle look.


    "Okay, daddy, I promise you!." Angel said with a smile.


    "Thank you!." Mu Boqin said he kissed her forehead.


    Turning back to the door, he knocked on it and said, "Mei, I will be off to work now, but I will come back early today, rest well."


    After saying that, he touched his daughter''s hair and walked away.


    "Mum, open the door for me," Angel said as she knocked on the door.


    A little movement was heard and the sound of the doir unlocking was heard. And with a click, the door opened and Angel smiled at Liu Dongmei.


    Seeing the tears at the corner of her mother''s eyes, she asked, "Mum, are you crying? Please don''t cry."


    "I''m not crying, come in." Liu Dongmei said as she wiped her tear-stained face as she let her daughter into the room.


    While on his way to work, Mu Boqin phoned Liu Longwei.


    "Can I get sister-in-law''s number?."


    "What matter do you have with my wife?." Liu Longwei asked directly. He was sitting at the dining table was watching his son feed himself.


    "Relax. Your sister has been making a fuss since she found out she was pregnant." Mu Boqin said.


    "Mei is pregnant?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.


    "Yeah. It''s been a few days since we found out, and since then, our lives had changed. She was kicked out of the room and doesn''t talk to me. She cries most of the time, and she is not saying anything which is a big headache to me!." Mu Boqin confessed.


    "Why is her reaction so huge? She doesn''t want a baby?." Liu Longwei asked, as in the next moment, he said to the little guy beside him.


    "Wei, don''t touch the food with your fingers, use your spoon."


    Liu Longwei cautioned the little guy that was attempting to touch his food with his fingers.


    Instinctively, Taio took his hand back and smiled before picking up his spoon.


    Mu Boqin listened for a while before replying, "You know Mei is afraid of child labor so her reaction to the pregnancy is huge. I want sister-in-law to talk to her, maybe she would listen."


    "Okay. I will send her number to you right away. She has already left for work."


    "Thank you! So, your baby-sitting your son instead of going to the Office?." Mu Boqin asked.


    "Kind of. His mother instructed me to watch him eat his food before leaving for work, so here I am." Liu Longwei said in a carefree tone.


    Mu Bowin laughed out loud. "You have become a Nanny."


    Just when he was laughing at him, he heard him roar from the other side.


    "Liu Wei!." Liu Longwei called out in an angry tone.


    The Little guy that managed to touch his food with his hand, shrank back instinctively. He was afraid of his father''s harsh tone.


    If he was still a baby, he would have been crying by now.


    "Okay...okay no matter how angry you are, don''t hit him or my sister-in-law will surely deal with you. I have to go now, talk to you later..." Mu Bowin said as he ended the conversation.


    While at work, Chen Lihua received a call from Mu Boqin. Having understood the rough description of the situation, she asked to meet her in the house later in the evening, so they could talk.

 Chapter 560 - Hope on Chen Lihua

    When Chen Lihua got home, she freshened up and had a relaxing time with Taio since Liu Longwei wasn''t back yet.


    Chen Lihua was watching a cartoon with Taio when a visitor walked in. She has been expecting Mu Boqin, so here he is.??


    "Sister-in-law did I come at the wrong time?." Mu Boqin asked with a smile as he walked in with a paper bag.


    "No, it''s fine. I see something in your hand, is that for me or Taio?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile.


    "You mean this? I got it for both of you. It''s just a little something, so please don''t mind it so much." Mu Boqin said as he passed the paper bag to her.


    "Thank you!." Chen Lihua said with a smile as she accepted the paper bag and kept it aside. Then she turned to her little guy to say to him.


    "Taio, this is Uncle Boqin, he is your father''s friend, say hello to him." Chen Lihua said to him with a smile."


    "Hello, uncle Boqin" Taio greeted as he gazed at him.


    "Hello, little guy, how are you?." Mu Boqin asked with a smile as he went to squat in front of him.


    "I''m fine thank you!." Taio said.


    "Good boy." Mu Boqin said to him before turning to Chen Lihua to say...


    "Sister-in-law, why does he look so much like Longwei, but likes you more than him?." Mu Boqin asked as he stood to his feet with his hands in his pockets.


    "That''s because I gave birth to him." Chen Lihua responded with a smile.


    Mu Boqin chuckled at her response.


    "Alright, we need to leave this little guy to watch his favorite series. Let''s go over there to chat." Chen Lihua said as she stood to her feet.


    Turning back to look at the little guy that already had his gaze fixed on her, she smiled and said to him, "Taio, watch the cartoon, mum has something to say to uncle, so while on a but for me."


    "Okay..." Taio said before fixing his gaze back on the Tv.


    "Mr. Mu, this way please." Chen Lihua said as she led him to another place to sit.


    A servant approached them after they had sat down.


    "Excuse me, Sir, would you like water, juice, or wine?." The servant asked.


    "A glass of wine will do." Mu Boqin replied.


    The servant nodded at him before leaving, and she appeared a few minutes later with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses.


    "She already knew what you would want." Mu Boqin said after the servant left.


    "This is my house." Chen Lihua replied as she lifted her wine glass ????


    "I get it." Mu Boqin said.


    "Mr. Mu..." Chen Lihua called out but was interrupted.


    "You know you don''t have to address me formally. Just call me Boqin, just like Longwei does."


    "Okay. I heard from you about Sister Mei''s dilemma. How is she physically, is she eating and engaging in her daily activities?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "I have no idea. Once I''m home, she hides from me and locks herself up in the room." Mu Boqin replied.


    "I think Sister Mei is scared and the only solution is to make her feel rest assured." Chen Lihua said.


    "She doesn''t talk to me, so I can''t help her, and that''s why I turned to you." Mu Boqin said.


    "It''s okay, I will talk to her. But first, you have to tell me more about her situation." Chen Lihua said.


    Mu Boqin nodded and went on to give her more details. He told her about her first pregnancy and the combination she had at childbirth.


    Chen Lihua listened attentively to him.


    When Liu Longwei came back home, he saw them talking but he didn''t go to meet them, instead, he walked straight to the little guy.


    When Taio saw his father, he smiled and greeted him, "Hello, daddy!."


    "Hello, you look like you''ve been a good boy today. Did you trouble Mummy?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "No, I didn''t. I was a good boy today." Taio replied in his cute voice.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he pinched his cheeks.


    "I will be back." Liu Longwei left these words before walking away.


    "Darling, You''re back?" Chen Lihua asked with a smile as she approached Liu Longwei for a hug.


    The couple embraced each other, and Liu Longwei kissed her forehead before letting her go.


    "Longwei, you came just in time. I was about to leave." Mu Boqin said with a smile as he exchanged greetings with him.


    "I took on extra work, so I came back late." Liu Longwei said.


    "Okay, I will be leaving now. I left the house in the morning and promised to be back early, but look at me now. I''m late." Mu Boqin said.


    "There is no rush, you can still make it back for dinner." Liu Longwei said.


    "Thank you! When al if this is settled, let''s have a little party with the guys." Mu Boqin suggested.


    "No problem, settle what you have first." Liu Longwei replied.


    When Mu Boqin went back that evening, he met Liu Dongmei at the dinner table. She didn''t greet him as it was only his little princess that stepped forward to welcome him back home.


    "I''m sorry I''m late, how are you doing?." Mu Boqin asked as he leaned in to kiss Liu Dongmei''s cheek, but she dodged him in time.


    Mu Boqin sighed and patted her shoulder before going to sit.


    "Daddy, you should wash your hands." Angel reminded him in a kind tone.


    "Thank you, princess." Mu Boqin said as he got up and went to wash his hands before joining them at the dinner table.


    They had just started to eat, so he wasn''t too late.


    Liu Dongmei ignored her husband, as only talked to her daughter when it was necessary.


    There were times Mu Boqin wanted to talk to her, but he knew he would be ignored, so he didn''t bother.


    The only hope he had was on Chen Lihua. He believed that if she talked to his wife, there will be a turning point in their relationship, so he was banking on her.

 Chapter 561 - Chen Lihuas plan to get Liu Dongmei out of the house

    The next day around 7:30 Am, a call woke Liu Dongmei from sleep. She didn''t get to see check the caller ID before she answered the call.


    And with her eyes still closed, she said in a sleepy tone, "Hello!"??


    "Sister Mei, are you still in bed?." Chen Lihua asked from the other side of the phone.


    Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Dongmei opened her eyes and glanced at the caller ID. Seeing the name there, she sat up and replied.


    "Lihua, what''s up?."


    "I''m doing great sister Mei. I have a favor to ask from you, please don''t say no." Chen Lihua said.


    "Mmm... okay! How do you want my help?." Liu Dongmei asked with a smile.


    "I just want you to spend some time with me today. I want to stay away from those two males in my family." Chen Lihua replied.


    Liu Dongmei chuckled softly before agreeing.


    "I get that you are really bored. Where should we meet?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "Let''s have breakfast somewhere. Please pack a few clothes and some things you might need for the next two days because I booked a hotel for us." Chen Lihua revealed.


    "What?! you''re really going all out just to get away from your men. Did they piss you off?." Liu Dongmei asked in surprise.


    "They didn''t, I''m just tired of their troubles. Well, Longwei should use this opportunity to bond with his son. I took a 2-days leave, so you do the same, or I can help you ask for one." Chen Lihua said.


    "Don''t worry, I will do that myself. Staying in a hotel with you is really going to be fun!." Liu Dongmei said with a smile as she couldn''t wait to tease the hell out of Chen Lihua.


    What she didn''t know was that Chen Lihua wasn''t so innocent like she was a few years ago.


    "Okay. Sister Mei, I should be at your place in an hour, so please get ready and make some preparation for Angel, so she wouldn''t miss her mother." Chen Lihua said in a kind reminder.


    "Okay, see you in an hour, bye!." Liu Dongmei said as she got off the bed.


    On the other side, Chen Lihua smiled to herself after the call ended. But when she turned around, she met with Liu Longwei''s piercing gaze.


    Chen Lihua stopped smiling and walked towards him.


    "Are you angry now? Don''t mind whatever I said to Sister Mei, I was just giving excuses to convince her to come out with me. How can I be tired of my husband and son, you know that''s not possible." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at him.


    "You have become so good at lying. Hope you wouldn''t lie to me like you''re doing with others?." Liu Longwei asked as he pinched her nose.


    Chen Lihua hit his hand away and rubbed her nose. "Don''t worry, I won''t tell unnecessary lies."


    "What? there are different categories of lies now, is it?." Liu Longwei asked as he brought her into his embrace.


    "Of course, and I didn''t just make them up, they have been existing for centuries. Darling, I need to pack up a few things." Chen Lihua said and kissed his lips before turning to walk away.


    Liu Longwei smiled as he watched her sashay I to the walk-in closet.


    A few minutes later, Chen Lihua was ready. She kissed goodbye to Liu Longwei and Taio.


    "Mummy, when will you come back?." Taio asked.


    "In 2 days." Chen Lihua replied with a smile and she gestured with her fingers.


    "Okay. See you soon." Taio said with a smile.


    "See you soon. Listen to your father and don''t make a fuss." Chen Lihua reminded him as she touched his cheeks.


    "Okay, mummy, bye," Taio said with a smile as he waved at her ????


    Chen Lihua smiled at him before turning her gaze to Liu Longwei. She hugged him, and they two kissed for a few seconds before letting go of each other.


    Chen Lihua got into her sports car and drove off with another black car, following behind her.


    When Liu Dongmei was done packing up her essentials for the two days of relaxation, she went I have breakfast, and there, she told Angel she would be gone for two days.


    "Are you going on a business trip?." Mu Boqin asked just as he walked towards them.


    Liu Dongmei didn''t reply to him and continued eating her food.


    Angel understood and proceeded to ask her mother the same question she refused to answer, and she got a reply.


    Mu Boqin knew his wife was purposely ignoring him, and she made it so obvious.


    Now that he knew she was going out to relax, he guessed it was Chen Lihua''s arrangement, so he was happy.


    He only reminded Liu Dongmei of a few things she should watch out for. He also said some words of endearment, which were not well received.


    After breakfast, Chen Lihua did come over, and it was at the exact time she said she would be coming over.


    Chen Lihua didn''t bother to come into the house as she remained in the same position in the sports car.


    "Lihua, you really do keep to time." Liu Dongmei said as she walked towards the car with a smile, while a servant followed behind with her travel box.


    Chen Lihua finally got off the car and walked towards Liu Dongmei. She hugged her as she replied...


    "Of course I have to, time is very important. Good morning Sister Mei."


    "Good morning Lihua. You look all rosy. Say, did my brother do something e.r.o.t.i.c to you this morning?." Liu Dongmei whispered.


    "Sister Mei!" Chen Lihua called out as she blushed a little.


    "What''s there to be shy about? Just talk to me, I promise to keep the secret." Liu Dongmei said with a smile and Chen Lihua ushered her to the car.


    "Sister Mei, nothing like that happened. Please sit tight and fix your seatbelt." Chen Lihua reminded as she closed the car door after she got in.


    The bodyguards that came with her, took Liu Dongmei''s bag from the servant and put it in the boot of their car.


    Chen Lihua walked to the driver''s side of the car and got in.

 Chapter 562 - Liu Dongmei confesses about her pregnancy

    As the car hit the road, Liu Dongmei turned up the music in the car and sang along. Chen Lihua watched her with a smile and joined her as well.


    When they got to the hotel Chen Lihua booked, Liu Dongmei was amazed. It was the only seven-star hotel in the country.??


    "Lihua, you''ve really got some money to spend." Liu Dongmei said as she got off the car.


    "Anything for my race of mind." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "I can''t wait to go in already, let''s go." Liu Dongmei said as she hooked her arm with Chen Lihua, and the two young men walked into the hotel.


    Chen Lihua confirmed their reservation at the front desk, and she got the key to the room she booked.


    "We are staying in the same room?." Liu Dongmei asked with her gaze on the key card in Chen Lihua''s hand.


    "Yeah. That way, our stay here will be more fun." Chen Lihua replied as they followed the hotel staff assigned to them to the elevator.


    "Look at you girl, you''ve changed. By the way, who thought you how to have fun?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "Sister Mei, you did." Chen Lihua replied as they got into the elevator with the hotel staff that was carrying their luggage.


    Every though Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei were recognized, the hotel staff didn''t react, because they have been well trained.


    "You learned well." Liu Dongmei said with a proud smile.


    When they finally got to their room, they toured it and went to the balcony to admire the view. Chen Lihua was afraid of height, and considering Liu Dongmei who liked talk buildings, she booked a room on the third floor.


    "I hope you like the view?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Yes, I love it!." Liu Dongmei replied.


    Turning to gaze at Chen Lihua, she hugged her and said to her, "Thank you for asking me to accompany you, I like this place."


    "It''s nothing. You know how to have fun, so you will always be the first person that comes to my mind." Chen Lihua replied as she hugged her back.


    They two went back to admiring the view after the view after the hug.


    "I need to get out of these heels, my feet are killing me." Liu Dongmei said as she walked into their walk-in closet.


    "Sister Mei, what would you like to eat for breakfast, maybe I can add more to the list?." Chen Lihua asked from the living room.


    "I don''t have any cravings, you go ahead. I ask ate a little before coming out with you, so don''t order a lot." Liu Dongmei said.


    Chen Lihua got the message and used the telephone there to place her food order.


    Within 10 minutes her food order was sent to their room.


    When Liu Dongmei saw the table of dishes, she glanced at Chen Lihua in surprise.


    "Can you finish all of these?." She asked.


    "No, I can''t." Chen Lihua replied with a smile as her gaze was fixed on the different dishes on the dining table.


    "Then why did you order so much, did my brother starve you?." Liu Dongmei asked as she joined her in the dining room.


    "He doesn''t dare to starve me. My baby wants to have a taste of all of these." Chen Lihua said as she rubbed her stomach.


    "Look at me, I almost forgot about the baby! How did my brother allow you to drive in your condition?." Liu Dongmei asked as she got some food for herself.


    "Maybe he failed to think about it, or he purposely allowed me to do whatever I liked. Sister Mei, stop asking questions and eat before the food gets cold."


    Liu Dongmei nodded as she finally shut her mouth and began to eat. She c.a.r.e.s.sed her stomach and continued eating.


    Her actions did not escape Chen Lihua''s sight.


    Since Chen Lihua didn''t want to make it obvious that she knew about her pregnancy, she kept calm.


    Few minutes into eating, Liu Dongmei covered her mouth and ran into the washroom.


    "Here we go..." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    When Liu Dongmei returned, she asked if she was okay, and the latter nodded in response.


    After breakfast, the two women played some games, told stories, had their lunch, and finally left their hotel room in the evening.


    They went to have fun in the lounge, but none of them took any alcohol. They enjoyed the music and danced as well.


    The next day, Chen Lihua dragged Liu Dongmei for a work-out section. Liu Dongmei didn''t want to go, but Chen Lihua didn''t listen to her.


    "Sister Mei, you need to keep fit. Look, I''m pregnant and I still have to exercise a little, but you are not. Just keep fit with me today.


    Liu Dongmei couldn''t voice her grievance as she could only say to herself.


    ''You''re not the only one pregnant, and I''m even far longer than you.''


    After the workout section, they washed up and had their breakfast before going out to shop.


    Chen Lihua purposely went to the baby shop to shop for a few clothes.


    These days, she was purposely surrounding them with baby stuff. At night before he slept, she would tell to the baby and say sweet words to her. And sometimes, she would play a few baby songs.


    She was doing all of these to get Liu Dongmei to accept her pregnancy and to love her unborn child.


    Well, her plans worked, because Liu Dongmei was starting to get nostalgic.


    When they returned from the baby clothing store, Liu Dongmei said to Chen Lihua, " Lihua, I have something to tell you."


    "What could it be?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile as they sat on the sofa.


    Liu Dongmei took a breath before saying to her, "I am pregnant, and I''m already 3 months gone."


    Liu Dongmei was expecting to see Chen Lihua shocked or surprised, but instead, she was the one surprised with Chen Lihua''s countenance.


    "Congratulations Sister Mei! I''ve been waiting for you to tell me about it all along." Chen Lihua said with a smile.

 Chapter 563 - She doesnt need pressure

    Liu Dongmei was quite surprised at how Chen Lihua wasn''t surprised when she broke the news to her, so she questioned her about it, and that was how she found out about everything.


    Chen Lihua good her the truth and did not hide anything from her.??


    "So this trip was your way of tricking me to come out with you?." Liu Dongmei asked.


    "Yeah, kind of. I wanted you to have some fun and clear your head of every negative thought. " Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    There was a 10 seconds silence before Chen Lihua held Liu Dongmei''s hands and started speaking to her.


    She talked to her about her pregnancy and her emotions.


    "...you see, with what I went through with Taio''s birth, it''s enough reason not to ever think about getting pregnant again, but I didn''t think that way. I was very happy when I found out about this news. Babies are so cute and innocent, so who wouldn''t like any of them. But they indeed become annoying from their toddler stage just like Taio. But still, we need to cherish our young ones. Sister Mei, everything will be alright. Don''t allow your fear to hide the greater picture from you. Right now, your child needs your love, so you''ve got to take up your role as a good mother. I know it''s easy, and I will help you to completely get over your fears.


    "First of all, you need to have a positive mindset and learn to do things in the right way. You and your husband can arrange for a doctor to help you get over all of these, that way, it will be easy for you to grasp the current situation, and perform your duties well." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    Liu Dongmei smiled and said to Chen Lihua, "Lihua, thanks a lot. I feel better than before."


    "You''re welcome. So, what activities do we do today?." Chen Lihua asked with a sweet smile as she let go of her hands. And right at that moment, her phone rang.


    Glancing at the caller ID, she smiled before turning to Liu Dongmei to say, "Sister Mei, I have to take this, it''s my brother."


    "Go ahead." Liu Dongmei said as she gestured with a smile.


    Chen Lihua went ahead to answer the call. After listening for a while, she said, "You called to ask about Chynna? I haven''t heard from her for three days now, but I''m sure she is fine. Why are you asking about her, don''t you have her contact?."


    "You don''t think it''s right to call? Since you think so, then leave it. I have to go now, bye!." Chen Lihua said as she ended the call without waiting to hear what he had to say.


    "Your brother is interested in your best friend?." Liu Dongmei asked with an interesting smile.


    "Yes. They two have known each other for a while now. I thought by now they should have gotten so close enough, but who knows why my brother is so slow. Maybe he will wake up when another man snatches Chynna from him." Chen Lihua said.


    "Aiyah! Why are you talking that way, is he not your brother, shouldn''t you help him out? Maybe you should give him some tips." Liu Dongmei suggested with a smile.


    "I will only help him if I understand their situation better. When I get back home, I will have to visit Chynna, it''s been a while." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "How is Chynna, how is her training? Is she doing okay now?." Liu Dongmei asked with her gaze on her.


    "She is doing pretty okay. I still need to visit her since I have no idea if she has decided to go to college." Chen Lihua said with a sigh.


    "Just let her do whatever she wants, no pressure should be applied. It would not be a bad thing if she chooses not to go to college." Liu Dongmei said.


    "Yeah, I will let her choose what she wants, she doesn''t need pressure." Chen Lihua replied.


    Later, Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei had a lot of fun. They played games, went swimming and for a movie night.


    Both women had a nice time together before they went back to their various homes.


    Chen Lihua dropped Liu Dongmei off in her house before going directly home.


    When she came back, Liu Longwei was already at home, and she found him in his study with their son.


    "Oh My Baby, I missed you so much!" Chen Lihua said with a smile as she kissed his face before enveloping him in a hug.


    "Taio missed mummy too," Taio said in his little cute voice as he embraced her.


    "What about me, have I turned into cannon fodder?." Liu Longwei asked from the side.


    He was sitting in from of his desk with his face on the mother and son pair.


    "How can my husband be reduced to cannon fodder?" Chen Lihua asked with a smile as she walked up to him with Taio in his arms.


    Having gotten close enough, she put the little guy down before leaning close to Liu Longwei and kissing his lips.


    Liu Longwei enjoyed the special treatment and so, pulled Chen Lihua to sit on his l.a.p.s as he deepened the kiss.


    After kissing for a while, Chen Lihua pushed him away as she glared at him.


    "What did I do wrong?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Why are you always so domineering?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Isn''t it a good thing?." Liu Longwei asked with a little confusion.


    "You should look at your surroundings first. Look, I''m sure Taio saw how aggressive you were." Chen Lihua said with a frown as she glanced at her little guy who glanced back at her before waking obediently to his seat.


    "Don''t worry, even if he saw that he will only think that his Father loves his mother so much, and can''t bear to part with her." Liu Longwei said with a smile.


    "You are really so shameless!." Chen Lihua said with an unbelievable expression while still sitting on his l.a.p.

 Chapter 564 - Chen Lihua visits Chynna

    The next day, Che Lihua left work early as she had to visit her friend Chynna.


    From Work, Chen Lihua drove straight to the supermarket to buy some groceries. She had a mask and her medicated glasses over her eyes.??


    She spent a few minutes shopping for some veggies and meat products, and she added some healthy snacks and drinks as well.


    Satisfied with her list, she went over to the counter to pay, before leaving the big supermarket. She planned to cook for Chynna when she got to her house, so she made a list and got all of that.


    Driving into the premises, Chen Lihua had a smile on her face. She immediately connected her phone to her car''s blue tooth speaker and phoned Chynna.


    In just one ring, Chynna answered the call, and her gentle voice was heard from the other side.


    "Hey! Lihua, how are you doing?."


    "Chynna, get your pretty a.s.s outside right this minute and help my groceries." Chen Lihua said over the phone.


    "What! You''re at my place? I will be down in a minute, hold on!" Chynna said in an excited tone as she ended the call immediately.


    Chen Lihua smiled as she parked her car and disconnected her phone from the car''s blue tooth, before taking it and stepping out of the car.


    She dialed Liu Longwei''s number and said to him. "Darling, I just arrived at Chynna''s place, and we may take a long while chatting."


    "It''s okay. How is she?." Liu Longwei asked?


    "I think she''s is fine, although I haven''t seen her yet. You know, I''m still downstairs." Chen Lihua informed.


    "Alright, take care of yourself. Next time, don''t shake your bodyguards off." Liu Longwei said.


    "I know. Bye, I love you!." Chen Lihua said as she kissed her phone.


    "I love you two." Liu Longwei said and disconnected the call.


    Chen Lihua still had a smile on her face when Chynna appeared.


    "Lihua?." Chynna called out with a smile as she approached her.


    These days, Chynna was looking so beautiful, and everything about her has improved incredibly thanks to the coaches that Chen Lihua arranged for her over the past few years.


    "Chynna, nice to meet you!." Chen Lihua said as she stretched her hand for a handshake.


    Chynna gently hit her hand out and went straight to hug her, while saying, "I missed you so much!."


    Chen Lihua hugged her back and said to her with a smile, "If you missed me, why didn''t you call, and you could have come to visit me at home since you still don''t like hospitals."


    "I wanted to give you a little space. You know, you are not just married, you have a little one as well, plus your job. You already have more than enough on your plate, so I didn''t want to add to your troubles." Chynna said as she held Chen Lihua tightly.


    "Nonsense! You are my friend, so how can you add to my troubles? Let''s get the grocery bags, I''m damm hungry." Chen Lihua said as she released her from the hug.


    "You actually went grocery shopping, does that mean you''re going to cook for me?." Chynna asked with a smile.


    "Of course." Chen Lihua replied with a smile as she turned to open her booth to reveal the different shop bags in there.


    "Wow! That will be great! It''s been a long time since I tasted your food. And it was as if you knew I was planning to order takeouts." Chynna said as she helped her with the grocery bags.


    Chen Lihua closed her booth as she carried one grocery bag with her and walked towards the building with Chynna.


    "You''re talking too much today, and that is something rare. Tell me, did you win the lottery?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "How did you know? I really won the lottery!." Chynna said in surprise.


    "What! you really did win the lottery?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Of course I did, you''re the lottery I won," Chynna replied with a smile.


    "You''re really something..." Chen Lihua sighed and didn''t know what to say to her anymore. For a moment, she thought she really won the lottery ticket.


    The two young women took the elevator to the floor Chynna was staying at. When they got to her door, Chynna input her password, and they walked into the house.


    The two women walked into the kitchen, watched their hands, and unpacked the grocery bags.


    Chen Lihua marinated the pork meat and covered it before leaving for the living room with Chynna to eat some snacks.


    The two talked while eating their snack, and when the snacks finished, they went into the kitchen together.


    "What do I help you with?." Chynna asked.


    "What? Have you learned how to cook now?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.


    "No, but I could still render some help," Chynna replied.


    "I would prefer you sit there and do nothing, you are so terrible with anything that has to do with cooking." Chen Lihua said to her.


    Chynna chuckled softly and walked towards her. "Just tell me what to do, and I will do it. We have to cook fast, as I am hungry as well."


    Chen Lihua glanced at her before instructing her.


    "Measure 2 cups of rice."


    "Put it in that bowl and wash it."


    "Add 2 cups of water to the pan in the rice cooker, add a little salt."


    "Sieve the rice and add it to the pan. Place the own in the rice cooker."


    "Hold on, I will teach you how to set the timer." Chen Lihua said as she asked over to seat the timer for the rice.


    "What else should I do?." Chynna asked in an excited tone.


    "Sit over there and wait, I will handle the rest." Chen Lihua said to her.


    "Maybe I can help you with washing the veggies," Chynna suggested.


    Chen Lihua glanced at her and said, "You''re really looking for what to do."


    "Of course, I have to help you now, so there will be the next time." Chynna sad shamelessly.


    "Oh! Now I get it. You are helping out so I can come back next time to cook for you! Your level of intelligence in bribery is increasing." Chen Lihua said with a smirk, before turning back to get the things for the sauce, ready.

 Chapter 565 - Chen Lihua gets a puppy for Chynna to help ease her loneliness

    As the two women busied themselves in the kitchen, they chatted about fun things.


    Not long, the food was ready. Chen Lihua dished the food and Chynna served it with some a table of water per Chen Lihua''s instruction.??


    "Mmmm... so yummy!." Chynna said after taking the first bite from the food.


    "Of course it''s yummy, I cooked it." Chen Lihua retorted with a smile.


    "I like this. You really have to come to my house more often to cook for me." Chynna said as she sent another spoonful of food into her mouth.


    "Do I look like a chef to you? You should ask me how many times I cook in my house. You should be lucky I came to make your lunch." Chen Lihua said as she put some food in her mouth.


    "I know you love me the most, so you will cook delicious food for me," Chynna said with a smile.


    "I like your confidence. Now, please eat your food obediently and stop talking." Chen Lihua said to her.


    Chynna really stopped talking as she decided to eat her food. She discovered she has been wasting time talking, instead of eating the delicious food Chen Lihua prepared.


    Now discovering it was more enjoyable to eat without talking, she chose to enjoy the food.


    After eating, Chen Lihua helped Chynna to do the dishes before going to sit in the living room with her.


    "We have a reunion dinner with our course mates next month, you should come." Chen Lihua said with her gaze on Chynna.


    "Reunion dinner?. I''m not coming." Chynna said with a frown.


    "Why won''t you come? We all graduated from the same high school. Come on, you have to go there with me." Chen Lihua said as she grabbed her hand.


    "Lihua, I really can''t go there! You remember that I have been shut out for half more than half of my life, so I can''t go there with you. What do you think they will say when they see me? All their attention would be on me, and you know what they will be thinking? They will be wondering why a crazy person like me whom they haven''t seen for a long time, graced their occasion." Chynna revealed her deepest worry about the reunion dinner.


    "Chynna, should you be wondering what they will think about you? They knew you were locked up in the mental asylum, but they never knew when you got better and was released because you have been living your life quietly. You don''t have to be worried about their thought because actually, they have the right to think whatever they want." Chen Lihua said as she patted her palm.


    "But still, Lihua, I don''t want to go with you. I''m still afraid of meeting the crowd. I don''t want that attention on me." Chynna w.h.i.n.ed.


    "Everything is going to be okay. I just want to show you off in front of everybody. I really don''t like such social gatherings, and I don''t attend most of them. But my going to this year''s reunion, is to announce your presence. So, are you coming with me?." Chen Lihua asked.


    Chynna felt helpless, but she still gave a response. "Just give me some time to think about it."


    "Okay. I need to speak with your coaches to know your progress. As for your housekeeper, when did you say she will be back?" Chen Lihua asked.


    "Maybe tomorrow or next, she took a sick leave. What, are you worried that I''m not going to be feeding fine? Then come and cook for me till my housekeeper returns!." Chynna said as her eyes alone brightly.


    "You are dreaming. Make sure to order takeouts from the restaurant I suggested to you the other time. They have food, so you don''t have an excuse not to eat well." Chen Lihua said to her.


    "Bur their food is expensive. I can feel your pockets bleeding." Chynna said with a worried look.


    "Do you know how rich I am? Even if I don''t have money, I have rich relatives around me, so why do you have to worry about my money? You should learn to spend the money I give you, and that way, I will be very happy." Chen Lihua said as she squeezed her palms.


    "Okay, Ma''am, thank you for reminding me how rich you are. I will make good use of the opportunity." Chynna said with a smile.


    "That''s what I want to hear. Alright, I will be leaving now." Chen Lihua said as she got up and picked up her shoulder bag.


    "Okay, thanks for letting me share some of your time with you. And next time, please don''t come directly from the hospital, you know I hate the smell of hospitals." Chynna revealed.


    "But I tried to mask the scent with a perfume. Didn''t it work?." Chen Lihua said as she raised her shirt to smell it.


    "How could you hide the scent with a perfume, who told you it would work? You spend half of every day in your life in the hospital, so how do you think you can easily mask the scent?." Chynna asked.


    "Okay... okay. I get you. Next time, tell me if you''re not comfortable, I can''t let you be suffering inside. I have to go now, see you next time, bye." Chen Lihua said as she walked towards her door and opened it.


    "Bye," Chynna said before Chen Lihua stepped out of her doors.


    The next day after work, Chen Lihua bought an expensive breed of dog and asked someone to send it over to Chynna.


    Chen Lihua added a note, and her signature at the end of the note. The note said, "I don''t like seeing you alone, so now you have a pet to take care of to stay out of loneliness. I love you."


    Chynna was so happy when the puppy was delivered to her. With her little knowledge, she knew it was an expensive dog breed.


    She knew Chen Lihua was fond of giving her expensive things, and that was at the same time, useful to her.


    She kissed the forehead of the dog and put it on her l.a.p before taking out her phone to browse on the internet.

 Chapter 566 - Zie Yu is released after being locked up for a month

    Chynna carried the puppy in her arms and walked into the house.


    She kissed the forehead of the dog and put it on her l.a.p before taking out her phone to browse on the internet.??


    She found out the breed of the dog and saw how expensive it was to acquire and raise. Finding out the breed of the dog, Chynna muttered to herself,


    "She got me a Lowchen? It looks like she really wants me to burn a hole in her pockets."


    But When Chynna saw the good beneficiaries of the dog, she felt grateful to Chen Lihua. She really knew how to give a thoughtful gift.


    What Chynna read about the Lowchen breed from Google is seen below...


    (Lowchen, also known as the "little lion dog, " has been popular among Europeans for more than 500 years, as it originated in France. It was once the rarest dog in the globe in 1973 when only 65 were left in the world; currently, there are only 300 remaining dogs registered each year worldwide.


    The L?wchen is also one of the most outgoing dogs in the world; they''re very active and playful which makes them perfect for families and children. They need the persistent attention of humans; they''re unhappy when they''re left alone for long periods.


    While it''s not the most expensive dog in the world, these little dogs are surprisingly healthy, so you won''t go into debt paying for their health issues, but the problem is the upfront cost of the pup. You also get a lot of bang for your buck; L?wchen''s live for 13-15 years)


    Chynna was really more than grateful.


    Chen Lihua was worried about her being alone, and because of her mental health, She decided to get her a pet, so she could take care of it and spend a lot of time with it.


    She felt it wouldn''t be good if Chynna was all alone at home with nobody to talk to or take care of. Hence, getting a pet for her was the best choice.


    Chynna texted Chen Lihua immediately. ''Thank you!''


    It was a simple message, but it had a deep sense of emotion.


    Chen Lihua smiled when she saw the text, then she proceeded to wire half of her salary to her.


    This time around, Chynna had to video call her.


    "Girl, you''re really crazy," Chynna said.


    "Yes, I am. I only got a small packet of dog food for your pet, so you will need to go a little shopping with it. Feed it well, and don''t mind the expenses." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "Okay, thank you so much. I feel like naming the dog after you, but I feel it wouldn''t be good." Chynna said as she lifted the small puppy with one hand.


    "Heh! I''m warning you, don''t name me after a dog. I''m driving now, I will talk to you later." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at the road.


    "Okay, bye," Chynna said.


    A week later, Zie Yu who had been locked in her bedroom for a month, was released.


    Her face looked pale when she stepped out of her room, and that''s because she has been indoors for a while.


    She looked scarier than before, but her attitude was a bit mild, and this caused speculations to rise from the servants.


    Zie Yu made sure to have a hearty meal for breakfast, before deciding to leave the house.


    When she stepped out of the house, and the sun shone in her eyes, she laughed sarcastically.


    "The long-awaited day has arrived. Chen Lihua, watch your back from now onwards, because I''m taking you to hell with me."


    After muttering those words under her breath, you walked straight to her car and got in.


    Everything she had destroyed, they had to replace them.


    Mr. Zie must have thought that locking Zie Yu up was the best punishment to get her to stay out of trouble, but what he didn''t know was that locking her up would be an opportunity for dark thoughts to cloud her mind, heart, body, soul, and spirit.


    The worst mistake Mr. Zie made was to lock his daughter up in her bedroom for a month. He slowly bred a mentally ill patient without knowing.


    How could he lock someone up in a room for so long, what was he expecting in return? Of course, the person would be bored, get depressed, get anxiety, the heart will be filled with hatred, the mind will be filled with dark thoughts, and in the end, if the person doesn''t survive the depression, the person may take his/her life.


    But since someone survived the test of time and the depression because of her dark thoughts and evil heart, she became crazy, and her mental health got worse.


    So in an actual sense, Mr. Zie gave room for Zie Yu to have deep-rooted evil thoughts.


    At the same time in another place, Chen Lihua found out one is the foreign doctors she knew that was transferred to SUH, was suddenly transferred back to his country over 2 weeks ago.


    The doctor didn''t leave any note for her or tell her about it, so she found it weird.


    But what Chen Lihua didn''t know was that the foreign doctor was arranged by Leila to help her with her plots.


    Now that Leila was dead, the doctor didn''t have anything agenda left to do in Country C, so he had to go back to his country.


    Chen Lihua didn''t dwell on the matter that much and focused on the major surgery she had for that day.


    After the surgery, Chen Lihua felt virtue had left her. She was so tired and hungry, and that''s added to the fact that she was pregnant.


    Walking back to her office, she was in time to hear her phone ringing, so she walked to her bag and took out the phone.


    ''I thought I put this phone on silence?.'' Chen Lihua thought.

 Chapter 567 - Chen Lihua cooks for herself

    Chen Lihua smiled and answered the call when she saw the caller ID. It was her cousin Changying who was on the line.


    "Heh! married woman, how are you doing?." Chen Lihua asked with a smile as she regained back her lost vigor.


    "Lihua, I''m doing great, his are you?." Changying asked.


    "I''m fine, I just finished surgery, and I am damm tired. How is brother-in-law?." Chen Lihua asked after complaining.


    "He is fine. He and dad have been a great help to me in the company." Changying said in a soft tone.


    "That''s how great our family can be." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Yes, and I am grateful to them. Lihua, please I would need your help with something." Changying said in a low tone.


    "I will help anytime. Tell me, what do you need my help for?." Chen Lihua asked as she took a sit.


    "We have a new collection we are about to release into the market, so I would like you to come model for us, and of course, I will pay you," Changying said expectantly.


    "Look who you want to pay... Do you have lots of money these days?." Chen Lihua asked as she chuckled.


    Changying laughed as well as she replied, "I don''t have lots of money like you, but I would pay for any services."


    "Don''t worry about paying me, I will do it for free. It''s been a while since I posed in front of the cameras, so I will take this as trying out my skills. Just send me the schedule, so I can add it to my calendar." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "Okay, thank you!." Changying said in a grateful tone.


    "No troubles. I would have loved to talk to you for a long while, but my daughter is very hungry, so I have to feed her." Chen Lihua said while rubbing her abdomen with a smile.


    "Are you sure you''re not the one hungry instead?." Changying asked as she chuckled with a hand over her mouth.


    "Well, my daughter and I are very hungry, so we''ve got to eat or I will start devouring the patients."


    Just as those words left her mouth, the patient that was about to knock on her door, heard it and turned around ad walked away.


    Chen Lihua had no idea that she gave her patient a heart attack, and nobody informed her she would be seeing someone immediately after surgery.


    "Ma''am, why did you come back?." The nurse that directed the patient to Chen Lihua''s office asked in surprise.


    "That doctor is scary, please take me to another one." The woman said with a scared look.


    She had just encountered something scary, so of course, she wouldn''t want to go back there.


    The nurse was confused as she thought, ''did she got to the wrong place?'' But seeing her scared the woman was, she decided to take her to see another cardiologist.


    Chen Lihua who was still on a call with Changying finally said goodbye to her.


    Chen Lihua quickly grabbed her things and left her office. She was so hungry that she felt could devour all the food in the world.


    Chen Lihua hurried to the hospital''s lunchroom to eat something. She didn''t like the food she picked, but because she was so hungry, she had to eat a little more before giving up on the food.


    But the result was that she ended up throwing everything up in the washroom, and now, she was already very hungry, again.


    Chen Lihua wanted to cry for herself, but she had no tears to shed. She went down to the underground parking lot and stepped into the car, and then she gave out an order to the people on the front side of the car.


    "Hurry up and drive me home, I am very hungry."


    Without a delay, the car immediately left the underground parking lot, and Chen Lihua relaxed.


    Chen Lihua rubbed her stomach as she frowned.


    "Can you guys hurry up?! If I faint here due to hunger, can you bear the consequences?." She said to the people in front.


    Hearing the anger in voice, the bodyguards sitting in front, glanced at each other before deciding to increase their speed limit.


    Initially, they were worried about their Mistress because she was pregnant, and as ordered by their Boss, they had to drive carefully. But right now, they were afraid their Mistress would really faint because she was very hungry, so they had to obey her order and increase their speed.


    When they arrived home, Chen Lihua walked into the house with a frown sitting on her face. She was in a bad mood.


    She didn''t even go straight to find Taio, and instead, went straight to the kitchen to find what to eat.


    "Madam, you''re back?." The housekeeper asked with a smile as she greeted Chen Lihua, but she didn''t receive any response.


    ''Who annoyed our Mistress?'' The housekeeper thought when she saw the frown on Chen Lihua''s face, and seeing her walk towards the kitchen, she immediately followed after her.


    Chen Lihua went straight into the kitchen and walked towards the fridge. She opened it and took out some eggs, vegetables, and meat. Then she went into the kitchen store and picked a few potatoes ????.


    While helping her to boil the rice, the housekeeper reminded her in a low tone. "Ma''am, we still have lunch set out for you."


    No matter what the housekeeper said, Chen Lihua didn''t reply to her.


    Later, Chen Lihua felt the woman was talking too much, so she glared at her, and she stopped talking. The housekeeper didn''t dare to say another word till Chen Lihua left the kitchen with her food.


    Anyone that saw Chen Lihua with the big bowl of the plate, wouldn''t know what she was eating, because it was a mixture of different things.


    The bowl had a mixture of rice, meat gravy, and some stir-fried potato ???? mixed with some vegetables.

 Chapter 568 - Liu Longwei makes lunch arrangement for Chen Lihua

    Anyone that saw Chen Lihua with the big bowl of the plate, wouldn''t know what she was eating, because it was a mixture of different things.


    The bowl had a mixture of rice, meat gravy, and some stir-fried potato ???? mixed with some vegetables.


    Because she was pregnant, the housekeeper could understand her, but normally, she wouldn''t. I mean, who would mix three different kinds of food on one plate, and then eat it like that.


    The housekeeper served Chen Lihua a glass of room temperature water, next, she left bottle water on the table in case she would need more, before walking away.


    The housekeeper went out to inform the servants not to cross Chen Lihua''s path since she wasn''t in a good mood.


    Chen Lihua was in a bad mood because she was very hungry. Now the irony of the whole thing was that she could only manage to eat 5 spoons of the food before abandoning the food in anger.


    "Why are there so many things mixed?!." Chen Lihua muttered under her breath as if she wasn''t the one that mixed them up.


    Chen Lihua put down her spoon and finished the glass of water in the cup, and then she rubbed her stomach and wh?n?d, "I''m so hungry!."


    And with that, She left the dining area and took the elevator to the last floor. She went straight to Liu Longwei''s bedroom.


    She dumped her bag and coat on the floor, removed her bra, and then lay on the bed and shut her eyes.


    Fifteen minutes later, the housekeeper felt that Chen Lihua would have finished eating, so she went to check on her, but she didn''t see anyone.


    She only saw the bowl of food, and she could tell that Chen Lihua didn''t eat much.


    "Madam didn''t like the food?." She asked herself in a little confusion.


    "Where is my wife?." Liu Longwei asked.


    The housekeeper bowed in greeting as she replied, "Madam should be in the bedroom."


    "Has she eaten?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "That...um... she only ate a little." The housekeeper replied.


    "What did she eat?." Liu Longwei asked with a frown.


    "Sir, I don''t really know what kind of dish this is, but she cooked it herself." The housekeeper said as she showed the content of the bowl to Liu Longwei.


    Liu Longwei frowned when he saw the mixed food. He couldn''t make out all the contents of the bowl.


    "Why would she eat something like this? What happened.." He asked.


    The housekeeper immediately replied to him, "When Madam came back, she was in a bad mood and she refused to speak to any of us and went straight to the kitchen to cook. I had to follow her in, and could only help to wash the rice and peel and wash the potatoes and some vegetables. She didn''t let me help her to cook. When the food was ready, she mixed everything in this bowl and carried it out. Because she was not in a good mood, I had to give her some space. I only returned now to see that she didn''t eat much."


    "What is she supposed to eat according to her diet plan?." Liu Longwei asked.


    The housekeeper checked it out before informing him. Without changing his clothes, Liu Longwei got to work.


    He put his suit jacket and briefcase ???? down before folding his sleeves and working into the kitchen.


    He washed his hands and asked the housekeeper to bring out the ingredients he would need to cook for Chen Lihua.


    In 30 minutes, the food was ready. Liu Longwei dished the food and carried them upstairs using the food trolley.


    Walking into his bedroom, he had to turn on the lights to be able to see since the curtains were drawn.


    Liu Longwei saw his wife lying on the bed with her hair covering more than half of her face. He saw the bra on the bed, and the bag on the floor and sighed to himself.


    He pushed the trolley to the middle of the room before taking the food out and arranging them on the glass center table there.


    After setting up the table, he walked back to the bed and climbed onto it.


    "Sweetheart?." He called out as he touched Chen Lihua''s shoulders, but he didn''t receive any response, so he had to lift her and relax her head on his shoulder.


    Chen Lihua heaved a sigh in her sleep as she grumbled, "I''m hungry!."


    "I cooked food for you, come and eat. But first of all, you have to change out of this dress. You really smell like drugs, and that is horrible." Liu Longwei said as she gently rubbed her cheeks.


    "You cooked for me?." Chen Lihua asked in a sleepy tone as she felt secure in his embrace.


    "Mmmm... I heard you were not in a good mood, can you tell me about it after you have eaten?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Okay." Chen Lihua said as she slowly opened her eyes. Moving her gaze to see the food on the table, she smiled.


    "Thank you!." She said with a smile.


    "I will do anything for you." Liu Longwei said and kissed her forehead before helping her out of bed.


    I''m so hungry that I can''t wait to eat. I will change out of my clothes when I''m done eating." Chen Lihua said as she walked towards the sofa to sit.


    Liu Longwei sat beside her and picked out the cutlery and handed it to her.


    Chen Lihua ate to her satisfaction with Liu Longwei putting food on her plate.


    "Do you feel better now?." Liu Longwei asked as he let her rest her head on his shoulder.


    "Mmm, thank you!." Chen Lihua said as she hugged his neck.


    "Now tell me, why were you in a bad mood?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "I was hungry, and I didn''t find the food in the hospital''s lunchroom edible. I ended up throwing up the little one I ate. Getting home, I cooked something weird because I thought I would like it, but it turned out to be trash, so I got angry and abandoned the food. But now that I have eaten the food you worked so hard to cook for me, I feel so much better!." Chen Lihua said as she rewarded him with a kiss.


    ''Being hungry out her in a bad mood?.'' Liu Longwei thought with a frown.


    That same day, Liu Longwei made arrangements for food to be sent to Chen Lihua anywhere she was, so she wouldn''t have to be hungry.


    ''What a thoughtful husband.'' Chen Lihua thought with a smile when she saw the lunch that arrived before noon when she was in the hospital the next day

 Chapter 569 - The Class Reunion

    Three days later, Chen Lihua went to see Changying for a photoshoot after discussing with her on phone.


    Chen Lihua helped Changying to market the news outfits on her Weibo, Instagram, and also got her friends to help with it too.


    And in a week after the promotion started, Changying had Chen Lihua to thank for the massive sales, because they were sold out in less than a week, and had to receive preorders.


    three weeks after that, Chen Lihua went shopping with Chynna as they had both settled to go for their class reunion the following day.


    Chynna allowed Chen Lihua who had a great fashion sense to choose dresses for her.


    The next day, Chen Lihua took her to the beauty salon to get a massage, wash their hair, and get their selves dolled up for that event.


    Chynna liked Chen Lihua''s way of dressing up, simple and yet elegant.


    Today, Chen Lihua didn''t refuse the bodyguards. She came to the hotel in two cars. She sat in one with Chynna, while the other ones carried her bodyguards.


    The car she was in, already had two bodyguards, but it seemed like it wasn''t enough for her. She was deliberate with her actions.


    "Are you planning to show off or something?." Chynna asked.


    "Not really. We have someplace to go later, so we would need the bodyguards to surround us with the beautiful women." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Where are we going to?." Chynna asked with interest when she saw the light that was shown in Chen Lihua''s eyes.


    "You will see when we get there. But first, let''s see what those classmates have to talk about." Chen Lihua said.


    When they got to the hotel, the bodyguards opened the car doors for the two women.


    "Do you think we are early?." Chynna asked as she came to stand beside Chen Lihua.


    "I like to keep to time. But once it''s two hours is up, we are leaving." Chen Lihua said as she hooked Chynna''s arm and dragged her inside the building as two of her bodyguards followed them.


    Chen Lihua and Chynna walked directly to the room they booked, and K2 opened the door for them.


    Walking inside the room that already had about five people there, Chen Lihua smiled and turned to K2 to say, "Both of you should wait outside for me. Once the time is up, you can come in to find me."


    The class president recognized Chen Lihua and immediately came to welcome her with a smile. He didn''t recognize Chynna, so he only said ''hello'' to her.


    "Class President, I think I will have to reintroduce you to one of us." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "Uh..." The young man made a sound of confusion.


    "This is Chynna, my best friend, and the deputy class president. Do you remember her?." Chen Lihua asked after introducing him to Chynna.


    "What?! This lady is Chynna?!" The Class president said in shock as he stared at Chynna wide-eyed.


    His voice was so loud that the remaining four people in the room heard what he said, so they glanced over and began to whisper to themselves.


    Chynna said ''hello'' to the class President before allowing Chen Lihua to drag her to get a seat, and leaving the stunned man at the door.


    The other four people sitting in the room immediately surrounded Chen Lihua and Chynna. They greeted them both before they began to as questions.


    "Chynna, is that you? OMG! we didn''t even recognize you!."


    "Yes, for years, we haven''t set our eyes on you, and nobody knew anything about you."


    "Thanks for worry about me, but I was sick for a long period and only got better a few years back.'' Chynna replied.


    Very soon their class president joined them in the chat as more people arrived.


    Anyone that walked into the room would greet Chen Lihua cheerfully and then give Chynna curious glances.


    When they were up to 25 people in the room, the class president opened the floor. He first started with the introduction aspects.


    He introduced himself before asking Chynna to introduce herself since she was his deputy back then in school.


    The people that arrived newly were shocked to learn that the woman they had been giving curious glances at, was their deputy class president back them in school.


    Everybody was curious about her since nobody knew about her whereabouts for so many years.


    "I am Chynna, and I was the deputy class president of our class back then. I know everybody is curious about me since I disappeared a few years back. I was sick for so many years and I got better a few years ago. Right now, I''m focusing on relaxing and learning new things since I have been absent from the world for a long time, so I''m yet to make any plans for the future."


    Chynna''s speech shocked everybody in the room. What was she talking about? Others were already working and held different positions in society, but she was still unemployed?


    Chen Lihua was sitting beside Chynna, introduced herself immediately.


    "Hello, I am Chen Lihua, and I am a cardiothoracic surgeon."


    The people who knew Chen Lihua''s influence, worth, status, and family background really paid their respects to her. She gave such a simple introduction of herself, she was really too low profile.


    The person sitting next to Chen Lihua was also one of Chen Lihua''s friends, XiaoXiao. She was present at Chen Lihua''s wedding and was also a part of the bridal train.


    "Hello, I am Xiaoxiao, and I am into interior decoration."


    With that, everybody followed suit by introducing themselves simply.


    The remaining five people who were absent appeared before the end of the introduction, and they introduced themselves. One of them, who was haughty and couldn''t hide her presence, showed off her wealth, status, and family background while introducing herself.


    When she saw the way the others were introducing themselves, she snorted and said, "What''s with the simple way of introducing yourselves, it''s not fun at all."


    After the introductions were over, the class President asked everyone to place their drink order.


    "A bottle of water will do." Chen Lihua whispered to the Class President before turning to Chynna to ask, "What would you like to drink?"


    "A bottle of Rio will be okay since you still have some other place to take me," Chynna replied with a smile.

 Chapter 570 - Do you feel proud of yourself?

    When their drink order came, someone noticed that when Lihua only ordered a bottle of water, so she rendered that she was pregnant and mentioned it.


    "Ah! Lihua, seeing you drink only a bottle of water, I remembered you were pregnant, congratulations!!!."


    And with that, the good-hearted ones started sending out their congratulatory messages.


    Chen Lihua thanked them and resumed drinking her water until one of them asked,


    "Lihua, why don''t you let us see your son, I''m sure he is as good-looking as you and Mr. Liu."


    "Sorry, but I don''t have plans to reveal his face any time soon. I would prefer to keep it that way." Chen Lihua replied.


    "Oh, what a pity!." One of them exclaimed. The others sighed disappointedly.


    But one of the young men in the room was good enough to ask Chen Lihua to at least show them the picture of her son, and she agreed.


    She took out her phone from her bag and browsed through her gallery to find a picture of Taio. And within a minute, she found the perfect picture to show off.


    Chen Lihua passed her phone to the class President as she said to him.


    "Please, I would have to trouble you to let them see the picture."


    "No problem." The class President said with a smile as he first glanced at the picture before holding the phone and letting the other classmates take a look at the picture.


    "Wow! He is so cute!."


    "Look how handsome he is..."


    "I bet he looks so much like his father."


    "If I had a cute son like this, I will definitely hide him away."


    Chen Lihua listened as her classmates praise her son, and a proud smile appeared on her face, but she hid it immediately.


    "Do you feel proud of yourself?." Chynna whispered to her.


    "Why not?!." Chen Lihua agreed without denying it.


    XiaoXiao gave Chen Lihua a thumbs-up ????


    The one with the haughty attitude pretended as if she wasn''t interested in the picture, but she still peeped at the picture, and she confessed to herself that Taio was indeed good-looking.


    The class President returned the phone to Chen Lihua after passing the picture to the rest of the classmates.


    Chen Lihua thanked him and put her phone back into her bag. She was afraid of anyone stealing the picture and sharing it with the public, so she had to send the Class President to hold the phone while those interested in the picture, could take a look at it.


    "Who is that young lady sitting beside Lihua, I haven''t seen her before?." The haughty classmate asked the person sitting beside her.


    "You don''t know because you came late. She was our deputy class president back then in school." The person replied.


    "Chynna?." The woman said in a low tone as she glanced towards Chynna''s direction.


    "Yes, she is Chynna. During the introduction section, she said she was sick for a long time, and that''s why nobody knew anything about her." The classmate replied.


    "So what happened to her back then was true?." The haughty woman said as a wicked smile appeared on her face.


    "What happened to her?." The classmate asked with a confused look, but she didn''t receive any response.


    The haughty woman looked towards Chynna''s direction and called out to her.


    "Hey, I heard you are Chynna."


    Her voice was audible enough, so she was able to garner the attention she seemed.


    Chynna glanced at her without saying anything. Since that woman stepped into the room, she hasn''t liked her attitude for one bit.


    "Indeed you are Chynna. I heard from one of us that you said you were sick for a while, and that''s shy we didn''t know your whereabouts. Did you also tell them you were locked up because you went crazy?." The haughty woman revealed with an evil smile, and her best friend chimed in.


    "I also heard of many years ago, that you indeed went crazy and was locked up, and your family denied you, so don''t think of lying about it."


    And there arose an uproar in the room. Those that once heard the rumor, started to speculate if it was true.


    "This, how do I settle this?." The class president whispered to Chen Lihua.


    "Chynna will settle it herself." Chen Lihua said without worries.


    Seeing that Chynna wanted to speak, the class pressure calmed everybody down, so Chynna could speak.


    "You are right, I indeed had psychological issues after witnessing the death of my parents and the trauma that came with it."


    "These people are so annoying? I mean, it''s there a need to overreact?." Xiaoxiao said in an annoyed tone.


    "It''s fine for them to talk, it is quite normal." Chen Lihua said.


    The class president tried to calm everybody down again, but he failed to do so, so Chynna continued talking, so they were forced to shut up and listen to her.


    "...I went through a lot to be okay, and to stand in front of everybody here. It wasn''t easy, but Lihua and her family helped me through my most difficult time, and I will forever be grateful to them," Chynna said emotionally.


    Her words touched her classmates, and most of them began to regret their actions earlier.


    "This is what best friends are for..."


    "Yes. Imagine Chynna went through a lot, and the only person there for her was Chen Lihua."


    ''These lots are talking too much!." The haughty woman muttered under her breath before drawing the attention towards herself again.


    "Chynna, don''t lie here. We all know that your best friend here traveled out to study for some years, and even made it to a lot of fashion magazines, so how did she help you?." The haughty woman asked.


    Chynna glanced at her and replied with an unfazed look, "When Lihua was away, her mother was there for me."


    "So you are saying that Chen Lihua didn''t contribute to your wellbeing?." The haughty woman''s friend asked.


    "Heh! Don''t try to twist her words!." XiaoXiao said as she pointed at the woman in anger.

 Chapter 571 - Chen Lihua takes Chynna to the club

    "Heh! Don''t try to twist her words!." XiaoXiao said as she pointed at the woman in anger.


    "Mind your business, and let Chynna clarify the matter for us." The woman replied in an arrogant tone.


    XiaoXiao still had something to say, but Chen Lihua stopped her, and she could only swallow her words back.


    "Lihua didn''t abandon me. She went to work hard, because only when she had the power, could she help me. She got the power, to help me stand. And it''s because of Lihua that I have everything I have today. So, I will always be grateful to her." Chynna said.


    "What a silly excuse. She already came from a wealthy family, what sort of power was she looking for?." The haughty woman asked.


    "You can just shut up for a while!." One of the female classmates shut the haughty woman up angrily, and another person scolded her as well.


    "You''re really talking too much and trying to seek attention for yourself. First, you came late and didn''t apologize for it, then you proceeded to show off your wealth as if you are the richest one among us. And now, you are trying to cause trouble, who the hell do you think you are?."


    "Even if I am not the richest person here, my family is still richer than you!." The haughty woman fired back.


    "And so what if your family is richer than mine, they still couldn''t give you a good home training for all the money they have, but I wouldn''t be surprised if you skipped your etiquette classes." The classmate said and laughter erupted from the others.


    "How dare you talk about my family like that??" The haughty woman said angrily as she stood up for a fight, but some people held her back.


    It took two minutes for the class President to calm everybody.


    "Please, we don''t need to fight. One of the reasons we arranged this gathering is for us to get to know ourselves again. The second reason is for us to talk about some pending projects in school, so fighting as quarreling is not a part of of our agenda."


    After the room was calm, the class president brought up the pending projects, man''s everyone talked about the matter and made some suggestions on how they would go about it.


    They concluded the matter by setting up a committee and making contributions to start the project.


    The haughty woman made the highest contribution as she wanted to show off her wealth, but nobody was moved by her action, apart from the same breed as her that kept praising her.


    After they were done with the important part of their agenda for the day, the time Chen Lihua set was up, so she announced she was leaving.


    "Chynna and I have an appointment booked, and we will be late for it if we don''t leave now." Chen Lihua said.


    Learning that they had another appointment, they allowed them to leave.


    As Chen Lihua picked up her bag, a knock was heard, and a tall handsome man who was dressed in a black suit walked in and went straight to Chen Lihua''s side.


    He whispered to Chen Lihua''s ears, before escorting her and Chynna out of the room. But before them, Chen Lihua especially hugged XiaoXiao before leaving with Chynna and K2.


    "Wow! I didn''t know that person was a bodyguard." One of the ladies said in surprise.


    This became a topic between some of them, and the haughty lady snorted. She was very jealous.


    In the car, Chen Lihua asked, "I hope you are okay?."


    "Yes, why not? I''m no longer afraid to be in such an environment." Chynna replied with a confident smile.


    "Good! That means you will like the next place we will be going to." Chen Lihua said.


    When they arrived at their car parked in front of the club, the anticipated look on Chynna''s face vanished.


    "What are we doing here?." Chynna asked in surprise.


    "To close a business deal." Chen Lihua said before stepping out of the car.


    Chynna still had some questions to ask, but there was no time.


    Chen Lihua and Chynna were surrounded by the bodyguards and they walked into the club. They didn''t even need to show any pass, as they walked in feely.


    "Will your husband be happy if he learns that a pregnant woman like you walked in here just to get some fresh air?." Chynna asked after they walked into the room Chen Lihua booked.


    "Everything is fine. He wouldn''t worry a lot, see, I brought four bodyguards with me inside the room, two are downstairs, and his friend has a lot of them here, so we are safe. Relax and drink." Chen Lihua said.


    As they drank some fruit juices, Chynna learned from Chen Lihua that one of Liu Longwei''s friends owned the club.


    Before Chynna could ask who the person was, Wu Bohai presented himself before them.


    "Sister-in-law, I heard you were here, and I immediately came to say, ''hello''." Wu Bohai said as he winked at Chen Lihua.


    "I knew you would be here today, so I came here with my friend, Chynna to relax." Chen Lihua said as she introduced Chynna to him.


    "Wow, Chynna you''re beautiful!." Wu Bohai praised Chynna as he shook her hand.


    "Thank you!" Chynna replied with a smile.


    "Although you are beautiful, still, don''t take his words to heart, this is the way he talks." Chen Lihua whispered to Chynna.


    "Really? But why didn''t he praise you now?." Chynna whispered back to Chen Lihua after giving a weird glance at Wu Bohai.


    "He doesn''t dare to flirt with his friend''s wife. Flirting is his only bad habit, and apart from that, he is very kind." Chen Lihua added.


    "Oh..." Chynna said as she glanced at Wu Bohai again.


    "Sister-in-law, are you gossiping about me?." Wu Bohai asked.


    "No, we were only talking about something important." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "Okay, I have some guests to entertain, and I came to say hello! If you need anything, feel free to order anyone around, as for your bills, it will be on me!." Wu Bohai said before walking away.


    Chynna glanced at Chen Lihua as she said, "Wow, he''s really kind."


    "Yeah he is, so you don''t have to worry about making a big hold in my pocket, and feel free to rider anything you like." Chen Lihua said to her.


    As they were chatting Chen Lihua''s phone rang, and she took it out from her bag and glanced at the caller ID.


    When she saw who was calling, a smirk turned up her lips as she answered the call.

 Chapter 572 - My husband is not a dude

    A few minutes later...


    "Who was that? I heard you tell the person I was with you?" Chynna asked with a curious glance, thinking it was Liu Longwei because she knew only him could make Chen Lihua smile this much.


    "That''s my brother, I told him I was in the club, and he asked ''with who?'' and I mentioned your name, so he will be here in 5 minutes." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Oh..." Chynna muttered as she looked away.


    Chen Lihua narrowed her eyes at her. Feeling her gaze, Chynna looked up to see that weird look.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?." Chynna asked.


    "What''s going on you between you and my brother?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Nothing. Although we have each other''s contact, it''s really awkward when we chat." Chynna replied and sighed after that.


    "I see. My brother can be fun to be with. But it''s a pity he hasn''t found the right woman to be by his side. He is within the same age range as my husband, but he still hasn''t found anyone to spend the rest of his life with. And with my mum''s personality, I''m sure she would have been nagging him every day to try and date someone." Chen Lihua said as a smile appeared on her face.


    "It will be great if he found someone to be by his side. In this life, I don''t dare to love. Even if I want to, who would dare to date or marry someone that has a record of being crazy?." Chynna asked as a pitiful smile was seen on her face.


    "Chynna don''t talk like that. If you let your heart open to love, the right person will come to you despite your past. And who knows, the right person might already be within, but because of your thoughts, you can''t see it." Chen Lihua said as she took Chynna''s palm in hers before giving it a gentle squeeze.


    "I would find my life fulfilled if I really have someone to be by my side. But it''s fine if nobody appears, the pet you gave to me will continue to keep me company." Chynna said with a smile.


    "The right person is knocking at your doorstep, just change your mindset and welcome him with open arms. Have you named the puppy yet?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "Yes, I named it Coco. How does it sound?." Chynna asked with an expectant smile?


    "It sounds cute." Chen Lihua replied with a smile before turning to K2 to instruct.


    "My brother should be within this area, you can go out to bring him up."


    K2 bowed and left.


    "Good evening, ladies." Chen Weiyuan greeted with a smile after glancing at the two women.


    "Good evening..." Chen Lihua and Chynna greeted back with a smile.


    "Won''t you come to hug your big brother?." Chen Weiyuan asked as he looked towards Chen Lihua''s direction.


    "Sorry, but I''m no longer a little girl. My husband is the only male I hug." Chen Lihua replied with a smug look.


    "What a showoff." Chen Weiyuan said as he went to sit beside Chen Lihua.


    "Chynna, how are you doing? How about your classes?." Chen Weiyuan asked as he fixed his smiling gaze on Chynna.


    Chynna glanced at him and replied politely. "My classes are going on well, and I''m very good these days thanks to Lihua."


    "What did my sister do, did she take you shopping or on a vacation?." Chen Weiyuan asked.


    "She came to my house to cook lunch for me, and she got me a cute puppy so I wouldn''t have to feel lonely," Chynna replied with a smile.


    "You don''t have to praise her too much. My sister is very rich, so don''t think twice before spending her money. " Chen Weiyuan said with a smirk.


    "Are you for real?" Chen Lihua asked as she hit Chen Weiyuan on his arm.


    "You see how violent your friend is. She wasn''t like this when she was still a cute little princess." Chen Weiyuan said to Chynna with his hand on the area Chen Lihua hit.


    "What? If I am not a cute little princess now, then what am I?." Chen Lihua asked in an authoritative tone.


    "Now, you are a terrifying Queen." Chen Weiyuan said, before starting to dodge Chen Lihua''s beatings.


    Chynna laughed her heart out as she would Chen Lihua away.


    "Lihua, don''t forget you are carrying my god-daughter." Chynna reminded her, and Chen Lihua stopped hitting Chen Weiyuan.


    She scoffed and arranged her clothes.


    "You are pregnant, so why would Longwei allow you to come to this place?." Chen Weiyuan asked as he arranged his hair with his hands.


    "I felt like coming here, to relax, and he allowed it, but you can see the number of bodyguards he is aged for me. Plus his friend who is the owner of this club is around, so he allowed me to come here." Chen Lihua replied.


    "I see... But why are you two dressed liked this? If you want to come to the club, you shouldn''t be dressed this way." Chen Weiyuan pointed out.


    "We went for our class reunion before coming to this place." Chen Lihua answered.


    "Oh! How was it? Was it fun?." Chen Weiyuan asked.


    "Of course was." Chen Lihua said while nodding.


    As the three of them were chatting, Chen Lihua''s phone rang, so she excused herself and went to sit on another sofa, so Chen Weiyuan occupied her position and continued chatting with Chynna.


    "Darling..." Chen Lihua called out with a smile with the phone placed on her ear.


    "What? You''re here to pick me up?." Chen Lihua asked after listening for a while.


    "Okay, you can come up, my brother is here with us." Chen Lihua informed.


    "Okay, bye." Chen Lihua said as she ended the call, then she went back to sit beside her brother instead of her initial position that she occupied.


    "Longwei is here to pick me up." Chen Lihua announced.


    "I love that dude. He may know how to take care of his Sister." Chen Weiyuan commented with a smile.


    "My husband is not a dude." Chen Lihua clarified.


    Not wanting to argue with her, Chen Weiyuan changed the topic.


    "You should really go home, you have a son at home, and you are carrying another one in your stomach. Longwei did right by coming to get you."

 Chapter 573 - [Bonus chapter] Liu Liwei introduces his girlfriend to his family

    Before Chen Lihua could respond, the tall handsome man who she only had eyes for, walked in with a casual look.


    "Darling!." Chen Lihua called out with a smile as she stood up and hurried to his side to hug him.


    Liu Longwei''s gaze softened as he hugged the woman in his arms before leaving a kiss on her forehead.


    "You came to bring me home, I''m happy." Chen Lihua said as she hugged his waist.


    "Mmm... and I made dinner for you." Liu Longwei added as she rubbed her back.


    Chen Lihua kissed his lips immediately to the envy of her brother and friend.


    "Enough already!." Chen Weiyuan said with his gaze on them.


    "What, are you jealous?." Chen Lihua left Liu Longwei''s embrace and turned to him to ask.


    "You don''t let me greet my brother-in-law as monopolized him immediately he stepped in here." Chen Weiyuan said as he got up and walked towards them.


    Chen Lihua had no words left for him, as she watched him exchange greetings with her husband.


    Chynna greeted Liu Longwei as well, and he asked about how she has been doing.


    "Did Bohai come here?." Liu Longwei asked Chen Lihua.


    "Yes, he did come to say ''hello''. He had important guests, so he left to attend to them. Do you eat to see him before we leave?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "No, it''s fine. The guys are meeting up tomorrow, so I will see him then." Liu Longwei replied.


    "Brother take care of Chynna, and make sure to take him back to her house early." Chen Lihua instructed.


    "I will go back already." Chen Weiyuan said to her.


    Hooking Liu Longwei''s arm, Chen Lihua left with him.


    When Chen Lihua left, Chynna thought that things would be awkward between her and Chen Weiyuan, but to her surprise, He was really good at conversing with people.


    In the car, Liu Longwei asked, "Is your brother interested in your friend?."


    "Is it obvious?." Chen Lihua asked with her gaze on him.


    "Yes, it is. It was like you were the third wheel that he couldn''t wait to get rid of." Liu Longwei replied.


    "My brother likes Chynna, as I hope things will work out in their favor, so I tried to set them up." Chen Lihua revealed.


    Liu Longwei gave her a weird glance. "Are you now match-making people?." He asked.


    "Yeah. So if any of your single friends are interested, tell them about me, so I can hook them up." Chen Lihua said with a low chuckle.


    Liu Longwei smiled and brought her closer to his side and hugged her.


    Old Madam Liu was all smiles when Liu Liwei introduced the beautiful lady sitting beside him as his girlfriend.


    "This boy, you have really made me proud, I thought you would wait till you at your brother''s age before you decide to get married." Old Madam Liu said as she pointed at Liu Liwei with a doting smile.


    "Grandma, I didn''t say we are getting married. We are still dating." Liu Liwei clarified.


    "What''s the difference? Dating will lead to marriage, or are you toiling with the young girl''s feelings?." Old Madam Liu asked with a stern look.


    "Aiyah! Grandma, look at me, you raised me well, so how can I act in such an irresponsible manner? I dare not treat her that way." Liu Liwei replied as he earned over the old lady.


    "Good... I really raised you well. What does your girlfriend do?." Old Madam Liu asked as she directed her gaze at the lady sitting beside him.


    Daiyu raised her head and glanced towards the old lady with a smile. "Hello, grandma, I''m Daiyu, and I am an actress, and also a model."


    "I see you are in the same entertainment industry with my grandson. Was that how you two met each other?." Old Madam Liu asked.


    "Yes," Daiyu replied with a smile.


    "Does your parents stay in this city?." Madam Liu who has been observing from the side asked.


    "No, they stay in city H." Daiyu replied politely.


    "That''s good. Tell us more about you and your family." Madam Liu said with a kind smile.


    "Mum, you and grandma will frighten her with all these questions." Liu Liwei said protectively.


    "What is wrong with the questions, we just want to know your girlfriend more. You just introduced her to us, shouldn''t we care about her life and family?." Madam Liu asked.


    "See your son. He is already protective of his girlfriend, and has learned to stand up for her." Old Madam Liu said as she chuckled happily.


    "Of course, I have to be protective of her, I suffered to win her heart!." Liu Liwei said with a proud smile.


    Daiyu smiled as she glanced at Liu Liwei.


    "Look at you. Others work hard to win over the heart of the women they love, but you termed it suffering." Madam Liu berated him.


    "Women are to be chased, and their hearts, won over, so it''s not suffering. it''s not like anyone forced you to do it. You have to appreciate the good woman you have by your side." Old Madam Liu said.


    "Ah! Mum, grandma, enough with the lecturing already." Liu Liwei wh?n?d, and luckily for him, they do leave him alone.


    Madam Liu and Old Madam Liu asked Daiyu some questions, and as they chatted, they got to know more about her and her family, and later which they asked her to join them for lunch.


    On their way back, Daiyu said to Liu Liwei, "Your family is really nice and easy-going."


    "Of course. And I told you earlier that my family was different from other wealthy families, but you doubted me." Liu Liwei replied.


    "I know that I doubted you, and I''m sorry about it." Daiyu apologized.


    "It''s nothing. Let''s go on a movie date tomorrow." Liu Liwei suggested.


    "Okay," Daiyu replied with a smile.


    Daiyu was a really quiet girl, and she was the same person Liu Liwei showed her picture to Chen Lihua when he was still about to win her over.


    Daiyu was sacred of dating someone like Liu Liwei who was from such a wealthy family, so it was a bit difficult for Liu Liwei to win her over.


    At last, he managed to win her over, and he was really happy that he took the advice given to him by Chen Lihua.

 Chapter 574 - Making arrangements for the two families to go on a weekend vacation

    A few days later, Chen Lihua was talking to Liu Longwei about organizing a family get-together.


    Chen Lihua wanted the Chen and the Liu family to spend some time together, so she talked to Liu Longwei about it.


    "Your idea is interesting. Since Liu Wei''s baby shower, our families haven''t gathered together, and it''s been a long time." Liu Longwei said.


    "Exactly, and that''s one of the reasons I want us to invite everyone out so we could spend some time somewhere together, to relax and to chat. Also, Sister Ling has been missing out, so it''s time to bring her home." Chen Lihua said with an excited smile.


    "I like your suggestions. We just need to tell w, everyone, about the weekend vacation after you have planned things out." Liu Longwei said as he patted her hair long hair that was sprawled on the bed.


    "I will immediately contact Sister Mei, and I''m sure she will be more than happy to help with the plans." Chen Lihua said happily.


    "Do you think Mei has the strength to do that? Turn around and look at your husband, he is ready to help." Liu Longwei said to her as he forced her to glance at him.


    "No, my husband is very busy with work, so I can''t disturb him." Chen Lihua said as she refused his help.


    "You are really thinking for me..." Liu Longwei said with a smile as he kissed her lips.


    Right there, Chen Lihua called Liu Dongmei on a video call to tell her about her idea, and the latter was very excited as well.


    "Lihua, you really came to the right person, you can trust me to help you with great plans. It would really be a fun vacation with the two families together. And I can''t wait to eat more jalebi from your mum." Liu Dongmei said as she sent a spoon of cereal into her mouth.


    She really looked funny and all swollen with her protruding belly.


    "Don''t worry, I will ask her to send you some before we go for the vacation." Chen Lihua promised.


    "Thank you." Liu Dongmei said happily and went another spoon of cereal into her mouth.


    Since the day Chen Lihua sent her some jalebi, she has always been asking for more.


    The two pregnant ladies talked for more than an hour as they planned where they would spend their vacation, and the best date to go for it.


    They talked about everything related to their vacation, and after that, Chen Lihua created a group chat and added the members of the Chen and the Liu Families.


    After adding everybody, she explained the reason for creating the group chat and adding everybody there, and immediately the group became busy.


    Everybody liked Chen Lihua''s idea of the two families reuniting in a weekend vacation.


    Now what was left, was for a date to be chosen, and later, it was decided that the last four days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) of the current month, will be good for the vacation.


    Those that didn''t have anything important on that day, didn''t have to adjust their schedules, unlike the others that had something on, on those days set out for the vacation.


    Liu Liwei was happy with the date since he didn''t have any filming on those days, so he was the first person to reply with an emoji, and he directed a question to Chen Lihua.


    Liu Liwei: Sister-in-law, can the single people come with their partners?.


    Chen Weiyuan: That''s the same question I was about to ask.


    Chen Lihua: You two single men can come with your girlfriends, it''s allowed.


    Chen Weiyuan: Little Sister, you should have gone straight to the point, did you have to point out that we are not married?.


    Liu Longwei: If Lihua doesn''t point it out, you two will keep delaying with taking a step forward.


    Liu Liwei: Ah! brother, you''ve come to support your wife and to feed us dog food ????


    Chen Weiyuan: Our life is indeed pitiful! ????


    Lady Chen: If you two single young men still have the time to complain, why don''t use that time to woo your girlfriends and convince them to get married to you? ????


    Madam Liu: Exactly. If you don''t convince your girlfriends soon, you will be alone ????


    As the chats were now focused on attacking Liu Liwei and Chen Weiyuan, those two single men had to go offline to go and woo their girlfriends.


    Liu Liwei: The single dog just left ?????¡á??????¡á??????¡á??????¡á?


    Chen Weiyuan: I''m after you?????¡á??????¡á??????¡á??????¡á?


    The Chen and the Liu family members really enjoyed the chats that day.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei made more plans after the date for the vacation were fixed.


    As for Liu Liwei and Chen Weiyuan, they really went to woo their girlfriends after going offline.


    "Daiyu, you have to come for the family vacation with me, you can''t say no." Liu Liwei said to Daiyu over the phone.


    "You sad it''s a family vacation, how can I come with you?." Daiyu asked


    "My family asked me to bring you along, and they won''t allow me to follow them if I don''t come with you, so you have to come with me." Liu Liwei explained.


    Daiyu sighed and replied, "Okay, I will think about it."


    "There is nothing to think about. I will ask your manager to free your schedule on that day, so you don''t have to worry about work." Liu Liwei said.


    "Okay. When is the date?." Daiyu asked as she conceded in defeat.


    "The last four days of the month. Let''s go for a little shopping before then." Liu Liwei suggested and she agreed.


    Chen Weiyuan on the other hand asked Chynna to follow him for the vacation, but she rejected him.


    "We don''t have any formal relationship, so it''s wrong to follow you for a family vacation," Chynna said.


    "I asked you to be my girlfriend a week ago, but you asked for more time. You are the only person I love, so so am I supposed to bring to the family vacation if not you?." Chen Weiyuan asked.


    Chynna was silent for a while before giving in. "Okay, I will think about it."


    "I''m coming to pick you up on Thursday morning, so you can start packing your things." Chen Weiyuan said and ended the call immediately.


    Chynna wanted to ask, ''When did I day I agree to go with you?'' but he had already ended the call without giving her a chance to voice her thoughts.

 Chapter 575 - Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei couldnt join in the fun

    Very quickly, Thursday came, and the Chen and the Liu family set out on their vacation to the Maldives.


    It was fun traveling together.


    When they arrived at the hotel they booked, Chen Lihua got their room cards and shared them with everyone.


    As for the children, they would stay with their parents.


    When Liu Dongmei gave the room card to Chynna and Daiyu, Liu Liwei and Chen Weiyuan were not surprised.


    They were not married to their girlfriends, so it was inappropriate for them to stay in one room, especially in a gathering that involved their families.


    Liu Huiling and Old Madam Liu got to share a room with her daughters.


    The rest of the married couples shared a room with their partners.


    When they got to their hotel room, Chen Lihua went straight to lie on the bed with a satisfied smile on her bed. But too bad she couldn''t roll on it, because of her protruding stomach.


    "Mummy, I like this place!" Taio said as he caught up with her. He had an excited smile on his face since this was the first time he was traveling out to a different place.


    "I''m sure you like it." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    The little guy was 3+ years, so he grew taller and was looking more handsome.


    Just then, Liu Longwei walked into the room as he pulled two suitcases behind him.


    "Oh! It''s time to unpack!. Taio, come and help me." Chen Lihua called out as she went to Liu Longwei''s side to take one of the luggage from him.


    "Rest, you must be tired from the long travel." Liu Longwei said to her with worry, but Chen Lihua did not agree with him.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not tired. Go and get the other suitcase, Taio and I will start unpacking first."


    Liu Longwei didn''t say anymore and let her be. He walked out to the sitting room to get the other suitcase, then he joined the mother and son in the bedroom to unpack their things.


    After unpacking their things, Chen Lihua ordered room service to deliver some snacks to the children.


    Some minutes later, Taio was seen eating the snacks that were delivered to him. He was so caring enough to give his mother some of it.


    "Mummy, have some," Taio said as he handed a snack ???? to Chen Lihua.


    "Thank you." Chen Lihua said with a smile as she took a bite before returning the rest to him.


    Taio smiled and continued to eat his snacks while Chen Lihua picked up her phone to send a message to the group chat.


    She informed them of their new activity, which was to have lunch in 30 minutes, and then go to the beach.


    It takes about 8 hours and 10 minutes to travel from City B to the Maldives in a nonstop flight. As they left very early in the morning, they arrived at the Maldives around 2 PM.


    Liu Dongmei proceeded to share their schedule and the list of the activities they would be doing on their three days of a weekend vacation.


    30 minutes later the two families gathered to have lunch in a resort nearby. And Liu Liwei kept grumbling when he learned the children were given some snacks earlier.


    "Stop grumbling before I tell you off in front of your girlfriend!." Liu Dongmei warned.


    Since Liu Dongmei became pregnant, she was no longer sweet, she was scary.


    "Were all pregnant women scary?.'' Liu Liwei thought before turning to out some food on Daiyu''s plate and said to her in a low tone.


    "Remember not to act like my sister when you become pregnant."


    Daiyu blushed and looked away, and when Liu Liwei turned around, he received an icy glare from Liu Dongmei.


    Mu Boqin had to pat her back to calm her down.


    After Lunch, they left for the beach. They took a walk around the seaside before retiring back to the hotel in the evening to have dinner.


    The next morning after breakfast, they left for the beach to have fun.


    Liu Longwei, Mu Boqin, Liu Liwei, Chen Weiyuan, and Changying''s husband competed in water skiing. And it was so fun to watch their partners compete, so the wives cheered on for them.


    When it was time for the horse riding, Lady Chen and Madam Liu were not left out in the fun.


    The only people who couldn''t participate in this activity were the two pregnant women, Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei, and the elderly ones amongst them, Old Madam Liu and the old Chen couple.


    Chen K and Liu Huang rode aide by side with their wives.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei were jealous as they watched the others ride the horses.


    "I''m so annoyed right now!." Liu Dongmei said in an annoyed tone.


    "Who suggested that we come to this place for the vacation?." Chen Lihua asked as she glanced at Liu Dongmei.


    "Ah! It''s all my fault!?" Liu Dongmei admitted before going to sit down.


    "Don''t be angry, it''s also fun to relax and drink some orange juice while watching the other have fun!." Old Madam Chen said to Liu Dongmei with a smile.


    "There is nothing to be angry about. Can''t you see how we old people partake in the fun?." Old Madam Liu said.


    "That''s right, just sit with us and watch them have fun." Old Mr. Chen said with a kind smile.


    Chen Lihua sighed as she came to sit with them.


    Liu Longwei was guiding a white horse of small stature, while Taio rode on it.


    The little guy was quite interested in riding the horse, so he went to his mother to ask for permission, but she refused because she felt it was risky.


    But Liu Longwei intervened in the matter, saying he would guide him.


    The children and the two pregnant women couldn''t join in the fun, as they could only cheer the players on.


    When Chen Lihua saw the Liu family were winning the Chen family, she immediately jumped in to hit the ball that was about to hit the floor.


    Everybody was was shocked but Chen Weiyuan quickly hit the ball over the net after Chen Lihua saved them.


    Liu Longwei who was supposed to hit the ball off since it came to his side, was still in shock because of the stunt Chen Lihua pulled, so the Liu family lost to the Chen family, and that was the final match.

 Chapter 576 - Chen Lihua is adopted

    "Sister-in-law that''s unfair." Liu Liwei wh?n?d.


    "I think you should focus on your skills instead of whining to a pregnant woman who could hit the ball better than you." Liu Huiling said with a smile.


    Liu Liwei had no tears left to cry as he was continuously attacked from different directions for going against the two pregnant women in their midst.


    Liu Longwei walked towards Chen Lihua. When he got to her side, he placed his hand on her stomach and asked, "Are you okay?."


    "Yeah, I''m fine." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "You shouldn''t do that next time, it was dangerous." Liu Longwei said to her.


    "No it wasn''t, don''t worry I''m fine." Chen Lihua said as she tried brushing him off, but Liu Longwei was ready to talk things out with her.


    "No, it wasn''t safe at all. What if you had slipped, the consequences would have been dire. Please don''t do that next time." Liu Longwei said as he gazed into her eyes.


    "Okay, I promise there won''t be next time." Chen Lihua said with a smile.


    "Good." Liu Longwei said as he hugged her.


    They chatted happily over dinner, and it was one fun day!


    The next day was the last day they had to spend in the Maldives, so they decided to visit some resorts and go to the beach again to surf ????


    In the evening, the Chen and the Liu families were seen relaxing on the beachside.


    Chen Lihua and Liu Dongmei were chatting about how fun it was to second their weekend vacation in the Maldives.


    Liu Dongmei glanced at Chen Lihua''s abdomen and asked, "You''re really having a girl?."


    Chen Lihua placed her hand on her abdomen and ??r?ssed it with a gentle smile on her face.


    "Yes. I''m finally going to give Longwei the daughter he had always wanted, then Taio would have a little sister to play with."


    "I can tell how happy my brother was when he learned you both were having a girl." Liu Dongmei said with a smile.


    "Of course he was very excited at the news. He asked me to do a scan, and he followed me to the hospital that day. You needed to have seen his actions. He wanted to lift me, but the doctor stopped him in time." Chen Lihua said as she chuckled softly.


    "You are lucky. Boqin wanted another girl, but it turns out we are having a boy. But it''s fine as he was only sad for a moment." Liu Dongmei revealed.


    "Why would he be sad? You already have a daughter together. Doesn''t he like boys?." Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    "No, he doesn''t. After seeing how close Taio is to you, he doesn''t want us to have a boy that wouldn''t pay attention to him as much as he does to me." Liu Dongmei revealed as she chuckled.


    "Oh, I get the point now. That''s the same reason Longwei wanted a girl, and we got one. Don''t worry, maybe you can give him a girl next time." Chen Lihua said with a low chuckle.


    "Well, he would have to give me the receipt for the World before I think about it." Liu Dongmei said as they both laughed out loud.


    The rest of the family members were chatting with each other.


    Taio was playing with his cousins. Liu Huiling was chatting with the elderly ones, Liu Liwei and Daiyu were seen taking a stroll together. Chen Weiyuan and Chynna were chatting as well. Chanying was resting in her husband''s embrace.


    The Liu and the Chen couples were talking about business and laughing over the matter, while Liu Longwei and Mu Boqin were seen together before they went to interrupt their wives.


    Later, Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua could be seen in each other''s embrace. It was getting dark, but the moonlight illuminated their figures.


    "I will love you forever." Liu Longwei said as he kissed Chen Lihua''s forehead, and then he fastened a simple chain on her neck.


    "I will always love you. Thanks for the gift." Chen Lihua said with a smile and leaned in, to give him a deep kiss.


    The kiss was filled with the love and passion they had for each other.


    After the kiss, Chen Lihua leaned in his embrace as they gazed at the moon with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.


    The next morning after packing their things, the Chen and the Liu Families had breakfast together. before leaving for Country C.


    Two weeks later...


    Chen Lihua had an appointment with her doctor, and Liu Longwei had to do with her because he promised to be at every appointment with her.


    Fu Hua just finished seeing the last patient when she received a call from Liu Longwei.


    "I''m close to the hospital, do you need me to come to escort you?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "No, I''ll be fine. I have the female bodyguard with me, and she''s right outside my door." Chen Lihua said with a smile before hanging up.


    At this moment, the female bodyguard walked in to help Chen Lihua pick her bag and her coat before they left the office together.


    Along the corridor, Chen Lihua felt pressed and said to the bodyguard, "You go ahead, I need to make use of the bathroom."


    "But ma''am, I need to stay with you, it''s Boss''s order." The female bodyguard said with a frown.


    "So you want to stand outside the female restroom and scare other patients and health workers away? Seriously, go away, you have already scared my patients off today." Chen Lihua said with a frown.


    Ma''am, I will be waiting for you in front of the elevator." The female bodyguard said to Chen Lihua before walking away.


    "What a stubborn young lady." Chen Lihua said with a frown before walking into the restroom.


    The female bodyguard really went to wait for her in front of the elevator.


    Five minutes later, Chen Lihua was still not back, then she began to worry and immediately went back to the restroom.


    She stood outside there and called out to Chen Lihua, but she received no response, so she had no. House than to go in.


    The female bodyguard still had Chen Lihua''s bag and coat on her left hand as she used the other hand to open the cubicle doors, but they were all empty, and Chen Lihua was nowhere to be found.


    The female bodyguard began to panic as she looked around the area, and then she found a phone with a cracked screen.


    "Oh No!.'' The bodyguard said as she immediately rushed out of the restroom, scaring the nurse that wanted to go in.

 Chapter 577 - Daring us to come after them

    Tapping on the bud in her ear, the female bodyguard, Anne, immediately sent out a message out to the other bodyguards.


    "Red code! Ma''am has gone missing!."


    "What?!"


    "What do you mean by Ma''am has gone missing, were you not supposed to escort her to the underground parking lot?!" K2 asked in a tensed tone.


    "She wanted to make use of the washroom, so she won''t me away. I had to listen to her. After 5 minutes when she didn''t return, I had to go to the washroom to find her, but I didn''t see anyone there. I going her phone, but it''s broken." Anne said in a nervous tone while looking around for any sight of Chen Lihua.


    "Shit!!! Ma''am has been adopted, we need to call boss now!." K2 said as anger could be seen on his face.


    "Anne, keep looking for her! J5 go to the security department and check the hospital surveillance. Q4, stay right here and be on the lookout, they would have to take her out from here." K2 instructed.


    "Don''t forget, there is another entrance to the hospital!." J5 reminded.


    "Do they dare to take Ma''am out through the main hospital entrance?." Q4 asked.


    "We don''t know who they are, and the forces behind them, so we can''t say. But it is not impossible for them, because they can be so audacious as to take her out through the main entrance." K2 analyzed the situation before passing out another instruction.


    "Everybody, get to work, we have to find Ma''am."


    After giving out the instruction, K2 immediately phoned Liu Longwei, but his line was busy.


    "Damm it!!!." K2 said angrily.


    K2 was the head of the security in-charge of Chen Lihua, so he called the shots now.


    He didn''t want to cause a commotion in the hospital and let the media get a hold of this news by mobilizing the hospital security, so he needed to get Liu Longwei''s command.


    Chen Lihua was a public figure, and if care wasn''t taken and the news was leaked now, there might be more trouble on the way.


    Liu Longwei who K2 was trying to reach, was currently on the phone, with a cold countenance as the driver turned the car around.


    He had just witnessed his wife being adopted, but it was too late for him to do anything, so he immediately phoned AD, who is the head of his security team.


    "My wife has been kidnapped, immediately track her down using the necklace you configured last time, she put it on before she left the house this morning. Track her quickly and be fast about it." Liu Longwei commanded.


    "Sir, we list them!." The driver announced to Liu Longwei in a nervous tone.


    Liu Longwei was so angry that hit his fist on the car door.


    Liu Longwei was already close to the hospital entrance when he saw a woman surrounded by two young men in a black suit. Their faces looked brutal.


    He was wondering the kind of bodyguards they were to look that way.


    At first, everything seemed normal, since they were only walking side by side with the woman he was yet to see their face.


    "Drive faster and pack in front of that car!." Liu Longwei had said to his driver. And just then, he saw the side profile of the woman and shouted her name...


    "Lihua!."


    Right, when Chen Lihua was about to enter the black van, she heard her name from a familiar voice, so she tried turning around, but one of the men pushed and commanded in a ferocious tone, "Get in now!."


    Chen Lihua got in the van, and the two men by her side got into the van and immediately drove off.


    Before Liu Longwei''s car could turn in the little contested road, the van had already gone far, but Liu Longwei still commanded the driver to give the van a chase before they lost them.


    Currently...


    Liu Longwei called K2, and before K2 could inform him of the news, Liu Longwei yelled at him.


    "How did my wife get adopted when she had all of you there with her?! You better get your hands on the security cameras in hospital and send the pictures of the people that kidnapped her!."


    "Yes, Sir!." K2 replied before informing the others of the situation.


    Within 5 minutes, K2 and the rest of Chen Lihua''s bodyguards went to the hospital''s security room.


    K2 just had to show them their badge, before the security men, allowed them to have access to their system.


    J5 who was good at tech took over the system and rewind the camera in front of the particular washroom Chen Lihua was adopted.


    After rewinding it, they saw 2 guys come to stand in front of the door to the washroom, after glancing around, they walked in, and a minute later, they came out with Chen Lihua leading them.


    The hospital security guys were shocked by the scene they saw before them.


    "Was he adopted?." One of them asked in a nervous tone.


    "You better keep your mouth shut if you want to live long!." K2 threatened with a cold gaze, before glancing back at the security cameras.


    "These guys are really audacious! They didn''t even care to cover their faces, did they make a mistake?." J5 asked.


    "It''s very obvious that they left the clues purposely. This is a silent message to us, they are daring us to come after them!" Anne said as her blood boiled down. She looked quite scary at the moment.


    "Copy that footage and destroy the evidence from their system."


    "Yes!." Q4 replied before going on to do as he was instructed.

 Chapter 578 - Zie Yu, the one behind Chen Lihuas adoption

    After doing their job in the hospital, K2 took his team and left the hospital, leaving the shocked hospital security guys behind.


    After the picture was sent to him, Liu Longwei forwarded the oi time to two people with the messages.


    "Find them!."


    The first message was sent to AD, he immediately used the system and started to search for the kidnappers.


    The second message was sent to, ''X''.


    When X saw the message, he immediately phoned Liu Longwei.


    "Why do you only remember me when you have an errand for me?." Mr. X asked lazily.


    "I don''t have time, you need to find those two people and track them down, they just adopted my wife from the hospital!." Liu Longwei said in a hurried tone.


    "Again?! who would dare to kidnap my sister-in-law? Give me 5 minutes." Mr. X said in a serious tone.


    "3 minutes, there is no time!." Liu Longwei said in an urgent tone.


    "Okay!." Mr. X replied and terminated the call immediately.


    Fu Hua was so tensed that he ordered the driver to drive back home. He wanted to supervise the search for his wife.


    Three minutes later, Mr. X phoned Liu Longwei.


    "Those two are notorious criminals! They are more than criminals, they are well-trained ?ssassins. Looks like they really came prepared. I have tracked their agency, and I''m trying to hack into their security system to see who got them to do this job, so you have to give me a few minutes." Mr. X said as he typed away.


    His face couldn''t be seen because of the poor lighting in the room.


    His phone was placed on the table as he conversed with Liu Longwei.


    "Find the person and get back to me as soon as possible, I have an I''m coming call from AD, they must have found something." Liu Longwei said before ending the call.


    Immediately Liu Longwei answered AD''s call, a hurried voice informed...


    "Boss, we were able to track Ma''am down, She was taken to a warehouse off ***** road!."


    "We are going there now. Mobilize your elites in 1 minute!." Liu Longwei instructed before telling the driver to turn the car around.


    AD was able to track Chen Lihua''s location because there was a tracker placed in the necklace Liu Longwei gifted her on the last vacation the Liu and the Chen families spent together.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know there would be a need for the tracker so soon, and in a matter as serious as this, so he was quite lucky.


    On the way to the location, Liu Longwei made a call to his mother.


    "Mum, I need you to go to the house and look after Liu Wei, Lihua and I will be back late."


    Madam Liu noticed his urgent tone and asked worriedly, "Did something happen? How is Lihua? How is the baby?."


    ''The baby?'' Liu Longwei thought.


    "Mum, I will explain things to you later. Right now, I can''t talk." Liu Longwei replied and ended the call immediately.


    As for Chen Lihua, she was calm as she was brought into the warehouse.


    She looked ahead and saw a woman backing her, and there were eight ferocious-looking men around her.


    "Were you the one that ordered this?." Chen Lihua asked.


    The woman chuckled and said as she still had her back against Chen Lihua.


    "You still have the guts to talk. You are really courageous! But let''s see if you can still stand there and talk to me when your child is gone!."


    The woman said the last sentence and slowly turned around with an evil smile.


    Chen Lihua recognized the woman and was quite shocked. "Zie Yu?."


    "Are you shocked to see me? Don''t be. I planned this day while I was locked up, so there is no escape route for you today. You know what happens when you are locked up for a long time and not allowed to interact and socialize with people, you go crazy! And that''s what exactly happened to me." Zie Yu confessed with a smirk as she walked towards Jia Li.


    Zie Yu was dressed in a red jumpsuit with a pair of red stilettos ????. She had her hair tied in a ponytail with a pair of dangling earrings.


    "How does you being locked up concern me?." Chen Lihua asked.


    "It has a lot to do with you! If you didn''t come into the picture, I would have had a chance to win Liu Longwei back. And now my father locked me up because he wanted me to give up on my love for longwei. He kept reminding me that Longwei was a married man. And then I thought if I could remove you from the picture, I will get a chance, and my father will support me." Zie Yu said as she came to stand before Chen Lihua with a smirk.


    "Even if I wasn''t in the picture, you still wouldn''t be able to go back to Longwei!." Chen Lihua said with a fierce gaze.


    "How about we try that? I came up with a perfect plan when I was crazy, so I hope you enjoy my crazy plans. I am about to show you how crazy people act." Zie Yu said with a smiling gaze as she used her long nails to ??r?ss Chen Lihua''s jaw.


    Chen Lihua hit her hand away and glared at her.


    Zie Yu chuckled before instructing the two men that brought Chen Lihua.


    "Hold her hands!."


    Immediately she commanded them, Chen Lihua''s hands were held tightly, and Zie Yu took that opportunity to give her a tight slap on her cheek.


    "Ah!" Chen Lihua screamed in pain as she lowered her face.


    "Hahaha..." Zie Yu chuckled.


    "Your tongue is still as sharp as it was, the last I remember. I will help you make it blunt!." Zie Yu said as she raised Chen Lihua''s face to see her angry gaze.


    Zie Yu smiled as she asked, "Tsk...task... Are you angry? You shouldn''t be, it''s too early!."


    "You are a lunatic! I guess you don''t know what will happen to you by the time the police will get here. And let me tell you, even if you take me out from the picture, you still wouldn''t have the opportunity to get back together with Longwei, because he would never choose someone like you!." Chen Lihua said to her as she slowly calmed down.

 Chapter 579 - Zie Yus plan to abort the child

    "You are a lunatic! I guess you don''t know what will happen to you by the time the police will get here. And let me tell you, even if you take me out from the picture, you still wouldn''t have the opportunity to get back together with Longwei, because he would never choose someone like you!." Chen Lihua said to her as she slowly calmed down.


    "Take off her glasses." Zie Yu said to them, and Chen Lihua''s glasses were taken off.


    Right now, Chen Lihua was a bit nervous because of her baby, and then her eyes. If she wasn''t pregnant, she wouldn''t have been so bothered. But it''s a good thing that she didn''t show her emotion to them.


    Luckily, for Chen Lihua, the lightening in the warehouse was okay for her eyes, so she was a bit relaxed.


    "Chen Lihua, thanks for reminding me about time, so  I wouldn''t waste it. I don''t mind being caught, but what I wouldn''t allow happening, is to fail with dealing with you before I''m captured by the police, or by Longwei who might be looking for you. So this means that I have to deal with you now!." Zie Yu said as she walked around Chen Lihua with a devilish smile.


    As Zie Yu said that, the door to the warehouse was shut, and the lighting was fixed. With the great lighting, it was too bright for Chen Lihua to keep her eyes open, so she shut them immediately.


    When Zie Yu noticed her actions, she let out a loud chuckle.


    "This is the first gift I prepared for you. Take your time, enjoying the brightest lighting."


    "You want to get rid of me? but have you thought that you can never be by Longwei''s side?." Chen Lihua asked with her eyes tightly shut.


    "Sit her down on that chair ????" Zie Yu instructed, and Chen Lihua was immediately taken to sit on a chair in the middle of the room, and then her hands and feet were tied.


    Zie Yu smiled even more now that she was in a helpless situation. To her, it was so fun to watch.


    Answering her question, Zie Yu said...


    "Chen Lihua, if you still think that I would kill you, then you''re wrong! I know very well that I can not be by Longwei''s side again, so I was only joking with you earlier. Actually, I want to torture you before leaving you to your dear Longwei."


    Chen Lihua couldn''t comprehend Zie Yu''s thoughts. And she was a bit distracted because of her eyes.


    Even with her eyes shut, she could still feel the intensity of the lights, so her eyes were starting to hurt.


    "You, can you even hear what I''m saying, or have you gone deaf?." Zie Yu asked when she noticed that Chen Lihua''s attention was divided.


    "Zie Yu, you''re really going to pay for this!" Chen Lihua said through gritted teeth.


    Zie Yu chuckled loudly as she took few steps towards her. "Of course I know I will pay for it, and that''s the reason I have to do a good job!."


    Then turning to glance over at the guy with a tray in his hands, she waved him, giving him a sign to bring the tray over


    The guy had a hard-built body, and he had a ferocious look on his face. When he came to stand before Zie Yu, he transferred the tray to one hand and handed a pair of plastic gloves to Zie Yu who put it on by herself.


    Chen Lihua didn''t know what was going on, since she couldn''t open her eyes. But she could feel Zie Yu was up to something.


    After putting on the gloves, Zie Yu picked up the syringe in the tray with a smile before glancing at Chen Lihua.


    "Chen Lihua, can you guess what''s in my hand?"


    Chen Lihua could sense the incoming danger, so she asked, "Zie Yu, what are you up to?."


    "Don''t worry, you will find out soon." Zie Yu replied with a smile.


    When she was close enough to Chen Lihua, she changed her mind and said to one of the ?ssassins, "Bring the doctor!."


    As she gave out that instruction, Chen Lihua heard a sound of a door opening from behind her.


    Next, she heard the sounds of hurried footsteps leave the warehouse, and a minute later, she heard the heavy footsteps again.


    Zie Yu smiled when she saw the doctor.


    "I''m handing the job over to you because I don''t trust that I would be gentle." Zie Yu said as she handed the syringe ???? to the female doctor whose eyes were filled with fear.


    The doctor was adopted when she was leaving her office. She couldn''t scream because she was shown a picture of her little girl that was adopted.


    "Come with us, and we will let your child go. Once you''re down with your work, we will let you go."


    Those words spoke to her, gave her no choice but to follow them. So now, here she was.


    As the nurse took the injection from Zie Yu, there was a deep frown on her face. She placed the injection back on the tray before putting on gloves in her hand.


    The doctor picked up the cotton wool and dabbed some spirit on it. Next, she picked up the syringe before walking towards Chen Lihua''s side.


    As the nurse wiped the surface of Chen Lihua''s skin that was close to her arm, she felt fear.


    "Zie Yu, what are you doing?!" Chen Lihua asked, and right at that moment, she felt the needle stab into her veins.


    Zie Yu didn''t reply until the drug had all gone in, into Chen Lihua''s body. She had a creepy smile on her face that Chen Lihua couldn''t see.


    "Chen Lihua, now, I will explain things to you. I want to abort your child!" Zie Yu revealed.


    Chen Lihua felt her ?h?st tighten when she heard her say that her goal was to about her child. She started to struggle immediately, but her hands were tightly bound to the arm of the chair, so she could b?r?ly move her fists.


    "Zie Yu, you are crazy, how could you kill my child? Let me go!." Chen Lihua screamed.


    "Hahahahah... ???? ???? ????" Zie Yu was really having fun seeing Chen Lihua in that condition.


    "You want me to let you go, sure, I will. I don''t plan to harm you that much, I only want your child. When I have achieved my goal, I will let you go. Ah! I also forgot to add, that you have to suffer for a little bit, because I don''t want you to forget today, for as long as you live." Zie Yu said as her eyes showed with deep hatred.

 Chapter 580 - Zie Yu finds the tracker and leaves before Liu Longwei could get there

    "Chen Lihua, do you know what drug was given to you, you don''t know, since you are afraid to look. I learned from this doctor that your pregnancy could be aborted. I asked for the procedures and got them. You were just given 600mg of mifepristone and later on, you will be administered with misoprostol of 400 microg. I don''t need to tell you what should happen next."


    Mifepristone is a medicine that ends a pregnancy, and it''s also known as the abortion pill.


    Mifepristone works by blocking the hormone progesterone. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down, and the pregnancy cannot continue.


    Usually, the abortion pill is followed by another medicine called, misoprostol, which makes the w?mb contract, causing cramping and bleeding, similar to a miscarriage.


    When Zie Yu said it was the doctor that told her how to end Chen Lihua''s pregnancy, she didn''t lie at all.


    Zie Yu disguised herself as a pregnant woman and fixed an appointment with the same doctor she adopted.


    She acted all pitiful and cried to the doctor that she wanted to end her pregnancy, after finding out that her child had a malformation.


    She said she didn''t want to bring her child into this world to suffer, so she had to end the suffering before it could start.


    After acting all pitiful, Zie Yu asked the doctor for the solution, and that was how the doctor gave her the solution to ending Chen Lihua''s pregnancy.


    "Zie Yu, it shall never be well with you! You want to kill an innocent child that has nothing to do with your grudge against me, you are evil!." Chen Lihua screamed at her.


    Zie Yu delivered a slap on her face. "Shut the fu?k up! Who do you think you are to continue to curse me? Even if I know my ending so well, you don''t need to remind me of it, you are so pissing me off. I only want to take one child from you, or do you want me to take the other one at home?." Zie Yu asked with a slight smile.


    "Don''t you dare!!!." Chen Lihua screamed at her as she tried to open her eyes, but the intensity of the light, caused her to shut her eyes immediately.


    And within seconds after she failed to see anything other than the white lights, tears started to roll down her eyes as immense pain came over them.


    Zie Yu chuckled like a maniac, until the phone in one of the ?ssassin''s hands, started ringing.


    Zie Yu glanced angrily at him for disrupting her phone.


    The ?ssassin walked several steps away from them to answer the call. After listening for a short while, he turned and walked towards them with a grave expression on his face.


    "What is that?." Zie Yu asked with a frown.


    "Several cars are coming towards the warehouse, and we have only three minutes to leave." The ?ssassin reported.


    "What?! How come he found this place so soon?." Zie Yu asked with disbelief.


    She knew it was Liu Longwei who was coming, and she was surprised that he came so fast. And there was no way she would allow him to take Chen Lihua away when she wasn''t down with her job.


    "How come he found this place so quickly, didn''t you leave her phone behind?." Zie Yu asked as she was starting to get annoyed.


    She guessed that a tracker would be in Chen Lihua''s phone, so she gave them an earlier instruction not to bring her phone to the warehouse. But now, He still found their location so easily.


    "We didn''t bring her phone along. But since they found us so easily, that could mean that there is another tracker placed on her body."


    Chen Lihua was shocked by the revelation. She knew there was a tracker on her phone, so when the ?ssassins took it from her and threw it on the floor before taking her out, she knew it wouldn''t be easy for Liu Longwei to find her.


    But now hearing that there could be another tracker on her body, she began to wonder where it was.


    "You bastards, how do you do your job?! Why didn''t you search her before taking her with you?!." Zie Yi screamed at them in anger before coming to Chen Lihua''s side.


    "Where is it?!." Zie Yu asked with gritted teeth.


    "Don''t touch me?!." Chen Lihua screamed at her.


    With the way Zie Yu was searching her body, she was bound to receive a few scratches, and her skin, exposed.


    "Miss, we have less than 2 minutes to leave this place." The ?ssassin reminded as the rest got into the position to fight.


    Zie Yu was in a state of tension because of the tracker she couldn''t find until her eyes glanced over at the necklace on Chen Lihua''s neck.


    A smile appeared on Zie Yu''s face as she quickly took it off from her. She didn''t stop there. She also took off the earrings and wristwatch from Chen Lihua.


    "Now, we are set to leave." Zie Yu said with a smile.


    Two minutes later, Liu Longwei appeared in front of the warehouse with his bodyguards. But when they broke the door to the warehouse and walked into it, they didn''t find anybody after searching for a while.


    "Sir, there is no one here!" K2 reported while breathing heavily.


    "What did you say?." Liu Longwei asked with an ugly expression on his face.


    "Sir, there is no one here, it looks like they saw us coming and left immediately. But I''m sure they haven''t gone far." K2 reported.


    Liu Longwei has never felt so frustrated and tensed in his life like today. He was so worried about Chen Lihua, and the worst part about her adoption was that her kidnappers haven''t called him.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t stand there and waste time, because every moment he wastes, his wife and his child would be in danger.


    Liu Longwei phoned AD immediately.


    "Where are they?."

 Chapter 581 - Liu Longwei finds out that Zie Yu was the one that adopted his wife

    Liu Longwei phoned AD immediately.


    "Where are they?."


    Immediately AD gave him the location, they got onto their cars and turned around.


    "AD, I don''t know how you will do it, but I want to monitor the map myself, do that in the next 2 minutes." Liu Longwei instructed.


    Two minutes later, Liu Longwei could keep track of the location of the GPS tracker he put in the necklace he gifted to Chen Lihua.


    After driving for over an hour, Liu Longwei caught up with the car the GPS tracker detected, and in a few minutes, they cornered it in a lonely area.


    What shocked Liu Longwei, was that Chen Lihua was not in the car. Actually, it was just a normal man driving to another City that thru caught.


    When Liu Longwei saw the familiar necklace in the backseat of the car, he picked it up himself and interrogated the driver.


    "How did you get this necklace?."


    The driver was still in shock of being surrendered by so many scaring looking people, so he littered while replying.


    "I...I don''t know!." The man replied.


    The man was actually innocent because he had no idea of how that necklace came inside his car.


    He once parked his car in front of a store and returned a few minutes later, and that was the opportunity the ?ssassin used, to put the necklace in it.


    Liu Longwei was so mad because he was deceived and he fell into a smooth wife.


    The more time he wasted, the more Chen Lihua would be in trouble, and he was scared of anything happening to her.


    Since he has come to a dead-end, he had to call Mr. X to ask for the pending information.


    "Have you found the person that contracted them?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Not yet, you have to give me some minutes more." Mr. X replied as he typed away.


    "How many more minutes?." Liu Longwei asked impatiently.


    "10-15 minutes" Mr. X replied.


    Liu Longwei sighed and was about to end the call when he heard a question from ''X''


    "Did you fail to track them down?."


    "I tracked down the necklace, but we found someone else with it." Liu Longwei replied.


    "It looks like they found out about the tracker and decided to play with you. By the way, who did you offend recently?." Mr. X said as he had a rough understanding of what transpired.


    "I didn''t offend anyone. I will be expecting an answer from you in the next 5 minutes, hurry up!." Liu Longwei said and ended the call after that.


    Liu Longwei was still rubbing his head in frustration when he received a call from his mother.


    "Longwei, where are you? What about Lihua, Taio is asking for the two of you, how long will it take?." Madam Liu asked in a worried tone with the little guy beside her.


    "I don''t know how long it will take." Liu Longwei replied in a tensed tone. He tried not to make it obvious, but his mother was still able to detect it and asked...


    "Longwei, I can sense that everything is not alright, what happened?." She asked.


    After a moment of silence, Liu Longwei opened up about the matter.


    "Lihua was adopted from the hospital..."


    "What?! Why have you not found her after a long time?! Longwei, don''t let anything happen to Lihua, you need to call all your friends to help with the search!." Madam Liu said nervously.


    "I know. Take care of Taio, I have to go now." Liu Longwei said and terminated the call thereafter.


    After the call ended, Madam Liu called Lady Chen to inform her about the urgent matter on ground.


    Lady Chen was alarmed when she learned that her daughter had been abducted. She immediately phoned Chen K and Chen Weiyuan to tell them about it.


    Chen K and Chen Weiyuan began to make investigations and joined Liu Longwei in the search for Lihua.


    Why everyone was worried about Chen Lihua''s safety, Zie Yu had already fed her two more doses of the abortion pill (mifepristone).


    "Tsk...tsk... Chen Lihua, you were almost lucky just mow, but it''s too bad that I outsmarted Longwei, otherwise, my plans would have been ruined. But the special thing about me is that I am well prepared. After coming this far, I can''t let you be rescued just like that. I would have to end your life if there is another close call." Zie Yu whispered to Chen Lihua''s ear.


    Chen Lihua was very worried about her baby that tears couldn''t help coming out of her eyes. As she has been given the abortion pill three times now, she wasn''t sure she could save her child.


    Now that she was almost rescued but the rescue mission failed, and the tracker she had gone, Chen Lihua couldn''t see any hope again.


    "Chen Lihua, I''m sure you didn''t see this day coming. I will have to make sure you never forget today. I''m sure you will regret the day you met Longwei after suffering so many grievances from his ex." Zie Yu said and laughed out loud.


    Since Longwei has been in the search for his beloved wife, he hasn''t been himself. Even the doctor they set an appointment with, called him to notify him of the time in case they had forgotten.


    Some minutes later, Mr. X phoned Liu Longwei, and since Liu Longwei has been waiting for his call, he didn''t take more than 2 seconds to answer the call.


    "Who is the person?." Liu Longwei asked in an urgent tone.


    "Michael, did you offend your ex-girlfriend lately, cause I can see her sitting with the big boss of the ?ssassin crew that was hired to adopt your wife?." Mr. X asked as his gaze was still locked on the video clip he was watching.


    It was a clip from a CCTV camera, and it showed Zie Yu chatting amicably with whom seems to be the Boss of the ?ssassins.


    "What! Zie Yu?." Liu Longwei asked in shock.

 Chapter 582 - Liu Longwei phones Zie Yu

    "According to the transaction details, your ex-girlfriend Zie Yu, paid a huge sum of money to have your wife kidnapped." Mr. X revealed.


    Liu Longwei was very surprised with his news because Zie Yu was the last person on his mind.


    "It looks like you are still shocked by this revelation. Check your mail, I have sent the video clip, and the transaction details to you." Mr. X said.


    At last, Liu Longwei found his voice.


    "I want you to bring down the organization that dared to get involved with my affairs. Do it in a maximum of an hour." Liu Longwei instructed before ending the call and phoning the police after sending the evidence of the culprit to them.


    After that, Liu Longwei called Mr. Zie on phone.


    "Mr. Zie, your daughter had the guts to adopt my wife a few hours ago, and I just want to tell you to get ready to lose everything you labored for."


    After sending the message across, Liu Longwei didn''t wait for him to utter a single word, before ending the call.


    Mr. Zie was still in a state of shock, and it took him several seconds to understand Liu Longwei''s message.


    Mr. Zie was shocked when he finally understood what was going on, and he felt sweat dripping from his body as he tried to call Liu Longwei, but his line was busy.


    He also tried to call his daughter, but her line was busy.


    ''It''s over!." Mr. Zie said with fright as he collapsed on his office chair.


    Right after speaking with Zie Yu''s father, Liu Longwei got her number and called her immediately.


    Zie Yu was still having fun torturing Chen Lihua emotionally when she received a call from the man she was doing all these because of.


    "Look who''s calling, it looks like he has finally found out that I have you under my care." Zie Yu said as she laughed crazily.


    "Miss, don''t answer the call for more than 29 seconds so our location won''t be tracked." One of the ?ssassins advised.


    "Don''t worry, I am not a fool." Zie Yu said and ended the call immediately.


    When Chen Lihua heard it was Liu Longwei that was calling, a little hope rose in her heart, for she knew he would be able to rescue her since he found out that Zie Yu was the one that adopted her.


    "I must say that Longwei is still as capable as I predicted, but it''s too bad he can not rescue your child along with you because it will take him 2 hours to get here if he is smart enough and if he uses the bird, we will get the signal, and you know what will happen then, your life will go for it!." Zie Yu said with a smile.


    They were currently in another warehouse in a very remote area. It wouldn''t be easy to track them because of the poor network there.


    Currently, Chen Lihua couldn''t see because of the lighting that Zie Yu was using to torture her.


    Zie Yu glanced at Chen Lihua again and then turned to say to the doctor, "We don''t know what will happen soon, but to be safe, In exactly 1 hour 45 minutes, take her to the inner room and give her the v???n?? misoprostol."


    The doctor could only nod her head in subjection.


    Zie Yu learned that v???n?? misoprostol could be given after simultaneous administration of mifepristone and that the effect was at least as effective as administration of the medications apart, she immediately picked that option, because if time factor (How long she could hold Chen Lihua in captive).


    "What about my daughter?." The doctor asked in a low tone.


    Zie Yu rolled her eyes before turning to the leader of the ?ssassin she hired.


    "Show her how happy and how well her daughter was being treated " She instructed, and immediately a phone was brought up close to the doctor, who saw how well her daughter was being well taken care of.


    "Are you satisfied? Get back to work and don''t try to play any tricks with me if you don''t want a bullet to pass through your daughter''s head." Zie Yu threatened in a serious gaze.


    After Zie Yu ended the call, Liu Longwei called AD.


    "Track Zie Yu''s location within 20 seconds once she answers my call."


    "Yes, Boss!." AD replied.


    Since he could teach Liu Longwei''s phone, it would be a piece of cake for him to track Zie Yu within 20 seconds, and since his Boss commanded, he has to make that possible.


    After speaking with AD, Liu Longwei phoned Zie Yu again, and this time around, she answered the call.


    "Where is Lihua, give the phone to her!." Liu Longwei commanded.


    Zie Yu laughed out loud and said, "Longwei why are you acting cold towards your ex-lover? You want to speak to your wife, sure. But you have to do that after you have rescued her, and that''s if you don''t piss me off and make me kill her off before you find us."


    "I want to hear my wife''s voice!." Liu Longwei said in a cold tone.


    Because the phone was on loudspeaker, Chen Lihua was able to hear Liu Longwei''s words.


    "Longwei, I''m fine!." Chen Lihua said in a weak voice.


    Zie Yu glanced at her and asked, "Are you sure you are fine?."


    Without waiting for Chen Lihua to respond, Zie Yi went back to speaking with Liu Longwei.


    "Liu Longwei, your time is up. But I just want to let you in on something. Before you get here, your child would have been gone, and I wish you find us quickly so you can at least have a piece of your wife."


    "Zie Yu you will never escape from harming my child!." Chen Lihua said through gritted teeth.


    "I never planned to escape, I am already killing your child, so what harm are you talking about?." Zie Yu asked and laughed out loud.


    Chen Lihua''s state of mind was in turmoil as she was enduring the pain from her eyes, and excruciating pain she was starting to feel in her abdomen.


    "Continue feeding the abortion pill to her every 30 minutes, till the time is up!." Zie Yu instructed the doctor.


    Now that she has provoked Liu Longwei, she knew he would come for her very soon, and she would have to accomplish her task before he finds them.

 Chapter 583 - Liu Longwei comes to the rescue

    An hour and 45 minutes later, Chen Lihua was given the v???n?? misoprostol. It was the fastest way for the abortion to occur, instead of giving it to her orally.


    Tears could be seen on Chen Lihua''s face as she hugged her stomach. She was in both physical and mental pain. She could feel the life of the baby in her w?mb, slipping away, and she couldn''t do anything about it.


    After giving her the misoprostol Zie Yu gave an order ten minutes later to unbound her hands.


    "The work is done, we can leave now." Zie Yu said as she left the other room Chen Lihua was taken to.


    When the misoprostol was to be given, Zie Yu had a little dignity, by taking Chen Lihua to another room for it.


    Just as Zie Yu finished her statement and came back to the previous place they had all been staying, they heard a loud sound from the door, and all of them ducked over.


    ''What, he''s here already? '' Zie Yu thought in surprise, before an evil smile slowly appeared on her face, as the hurried footsteps rushed in.


    Zie Yu slowly stood to her feet with a smile plastered on her face, as she glanced at Liu Longwei''s bodyguards that surrounded her and the ?ssassins.


    And finally, when Liu Longwei appeared before her, she said with a smile as he slowly approached her.


    "You''re here?."


    "Where is my wife?." Liu Longwei asked with a frosty look after he saw no sign of Chen Lihua.


    "You mean Chen Lihua? She''s in the inner room, but you''re late! Your child is gone!." Zie Yu said as she laughed out loud.


    Liu Longwei boiled in rage as he immediately came closer and kicked her, sending her flying some distance away.


    Zie Yu didn''t expect that Liu Longwei would be so violent and would act by himself. She felt her head hit the floor with a bang. The pain was too much for her to bear, but she didn''t care.


    She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and tried to stand, but failed to do so. She glanced at Liu Longwei who had that frosty look on his face, but she seemed not to be afraid because she was mentally unstable.


    "You''re mean!." She said as she won''t out a mouthful of blood.


    Liu Longwei ignored her and walked towards the inner room with K2 and Anne.


    He could hear her sobs and wondered what was done to her.


    "Who are you?!." K2 asked the woman that was in the same room with Chen Lihua, she was the doctor that Zie Yu, contracted.


    It was during. the confrontation that Liu Longwei realized that there was another woman there, but he wasn''t worried because his wife was his priority at the moment.


    Liu Longwei frowned with the bright lights in the room and quickly turned to Chen Lihua''s side.


    "Lihua?." He called out as he turned her over. He saw that her eyes were tightly shut, and she had her hands on her abdomen while muttering some words he couldn''t hear.


    He also noticed the blood marks on her wrists, from where she was bound by the ropes.


    The more Liu Longwei saw how much his wife had suffered, the angrier he became.


    "Lihua, it''s me.." Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua again, but he didn''t receive any response from her.


    He lowered his ear to her lips to listen to what she was saying.


    "My baby..." Those were the only words Liu Longwei heard from Chen Lihua''s lips.


    "Boss, this woman is a doctor, and she was instructed to feed Ma''am with the abortion pills, we have to leave right away!." Anne said to Liu Longwei immediately she got some information from the doctor.


    Liu Longwei was alarmed, that Zie Yu did try to kill his child. Without wasting time, he lifted Chen Lihua in his arms and left the room after instructing Anne to follow him.


    When Liu Longwei came out of the room with Chen Lihua in his arms, Zie Yu glanced over at them.


    "Where are you rushing to? There is nothing you can do, the baby is already half dead, and before you get to the town, it would have been completely dead." Zie Yu said as she laughed hysterically.


    Liu Longwei felt the humanity in him completely disappear.


    "You dare to harm my wife and my child? Since you''re crazy enough to do that, I will show you how crazy people are tortured." Liu Longwei said in a cold tone before calling for K2 who came out with the doctor.


    "Make sure that crazy woman is tortured till her senses come back. Give her the worst punishment ever." Liu Longwei instructed.


    "Yes, Boss!." K2 replied.


    "What? Do you want to torture me?! Are you not going to send me to prison?." Zie Yu asked with a look of disbelief.


    After Liu Longwei left, K2 answered Zie Yu''s question.


    "Do you think the gravity of your offenses will be settled with sending you to prison? That''s a very light punishment. Now, I don''t think you will ever see the light of day."


    "What do you mean?!." Zie Yu asked as fear crept into her.


    "You will know what I mean very soon," K2 said, and then stopped talking to her.


    Feeling the torture his direct Boss, Chen Lihua had suffered, he couldn''t help going to give Zie Yu a few kicks.


    When Liu Longwei left the warehouse, A chopper landed immediately, and he climbed in with Chen Lihua in his arms and Anne."


    While in the jet, Anne noticed the blood that was starting to spread on Chen Lihua''s bottom, and immediately pointed it out to Liu Longwei.


    "Oh no! the baby!." Liu Longwei said with horror.


    He glanced at Chen Lihua who had passed out in his palms as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.


    "Her body temperature is rising." Liu Longwei said in alarm.


    Anne didn''t have a good look on her face, because of the guilt of leaving Chen Lihua alone, and the suffering she went through and was still going through.


    Anne immediately informed the pilot to fly faster.

 Chapter 584 - Its all my fault

    Liu Longwei sent Chen Lihua to a private hospital. And immediately they arrived, She was sent to the theater.


    Liu Longwei stood outside the theater with a worried look on his face.


    After a few minutes, Chen Lihua''s doctor came out of the theater to talk to Liu Longwei.


    "Doctor, how is my wife?." Liu Longwei asked as he quickly approached the doctor with Anne.


    "Your wife is in a critical condition, and I need your permission to perform an abortion." The doctor said in a regretful tone.


    Liu Longwei felt his world came crashing down at a lightning speed. He still couldn''t believe the child he was expecting with all the happiness he had, wasn''t going to step foot into the world.


    "Mr. Lu?." The doctor called out.


    "Doctor, is there no way for the child to be saved?." Liu Longwei asked after he found his voice.


    "Usually, the pregnancy shouldn''t end soon, but because of the number of abortion pills she was given, it has already caused a lot of damage to the fetus. The fetus has long ?ssimilated the drugs, and can not be born healthy. The fetus will have a malformation or chromosomal abnormality." The do for explained.


    Liu Longwei was quiet, so the doctor took that opportunity to continue.


    "Keeping the child is not an option since the drug it''s still in her system and has already done a lot of harm. And an emergency birth is not an option. So the only option now is to abort the child and flush your wife''s system."


    Liu Longwei was helpless at the moment. He felt a strong sense of guilt and pain for Chen Lihua. He blamed himself for the reason she was in that state.


    He never dated Zie Yu, she wouldn''t have had to be kidnapped. And he was fast enough, they wouldn''t have to lose their child.


    Now, he doesn''t know his wife''s condition, and if she will ever be able to forgive him.


    Liu Longwei had no choice but to give his consent for the abortion. After all, his wife''s life was still very important to him.


    After getting the approval, the doctor went back into the theater to continue with the surgery for a cesarean operation.


    As Liu Longwei stood outside the doors of the theater, he felt so cold and heartbroken.


    as he was lost in thought, he heard his phone ring and took it out from his trouser pocket.


    When he answered the call, he heard Lady Chen''s voice.


    "Longwei, have you found Lihua?." Lady Chen asked in a worried tone.


    "Mother, I have found her." Liu Longwei replied weakly.


    Lady Chen was very happy, but there was something wrong with Liu Longwei''s tone that gave her cause to worry, so she inquired further.


    "Longwei, what happened? Is Lihua okay? Did something happen?." Lady Chen asked.


    Madam Liu who was playing with Taio heard the questions from Lady Chen and asked Taio''s nanny to take him to another room before she approached Lady Che.


    "Did something happen?." Madam Liu asked Lady Chen, and the latter put her phone on the loudspeaker and waited for Liu Longwei to answer that question.


    Liu Longwei didn''t know where to start from. He didn''t know how to break the news to the two women, but he knew he had to tell them everything that happened.


    "Mum is all my fault! Zie Yu kidnapped Lihua from the hospital, and I was too late to catch up with their vehicle. At last, when I found Lihua, Zie Yu had already succeeded in harming our child. The doctor said we can''t keep the baby, it''s too late to save it. I was asked to give the consent to abort our child." Liu Longwei talked this far, and couldn''t bear to continue.


    The two women were beyond shocked by the news.


    Lihua was harmed, and the grandchild they''ve been expecting and had already gone clothe shopping for, was gone?


    Madam Liu moved away and went to sit down as tears started to brim at the corner of her eyes.


    Lady Chen was the only one that seemed a bit clear-headed.


    "Longwei, which hospital are you at?." Lady Chen asked.


    "Ju Ju where are you going to?."


    "I''m going to the hospital to see my daughter. I don''t know if Lihua can take this news. We just had two more months before the child would be born, and such an accident happened, Lihua is not strong enough to take this, I have to go and see her." Lady Chen said as her eyes became teary.


    "I will come with you." Madam Liu said as she wiped her tears and got to her feet.


    "We can''t leave Taio all by himself, and we can''t take him to the hospital either." Lady Chen said.


    "I will call Boqin to drive Mei to the Liu house, so she can stay with the old lady and help look after Taio." Madam Liu said as she whipped out her phone.


    "Mei is about to give birth, and it''s night already, do you think it will be okay to disturb her?." Lady Chen asked.


    "With Boqin there, it wouldn''t matter. I have to see how my daughter-in-law is doing." Madam Liu said as she made the call.


    No matter how Dongmei asked to know what happened, Madam Liu did not say anything to her.


    Lady Chen packed a few of Taio''s stuff, and they both sent him to the Liu house.


    "Mother, it will be good if you don''t know about it, just take good care of your great-grandson till his parents come back for him." Madam Liu said before she disappeared with Lady Chen.


    Seeing how they refused to answer her, the old lady concluded that something serious must have happened, and she started to worry about it.

 Chapter 585 - Lady Chen is angry with Liu Longwei

    After what seems like an eternity to Liu Longwei, Chen Lihua was finally wheeled out of the theater, and Liu Longwei hurried to her side with worry written all over his face.


    Chen Lihua''s eyes were tightly shut, and her lips told that she must have lost a lot of blood.


    Liu Longwei felt pain in his ?h?st before turning to the doctor to ask in a worried tone, "How is my wife?."


    "She is out of danger now. It will be good if she doesn''t get pregnant immediately, because of the little damage the drugs caused to her body." The doctor advised.


    Liu Longwei did not say anything. He has nothing to say as long as his wife was fine.


    After wheeling Chen Lihua to the VVIP room, the doctor asked Liu Longwei if he wanted to see their child before she was taken to the morgue.


    Remembering their child, Liu Longwei felt a bit lost. He didn''t know he would explain things to Chen Lihua when she regained consciousness.


    He had to help her decide since he wasn''t sure it would be a good thing for her to see their dead child.


    "Doctor, I will come and see the child soon, thank you!." Liu Longwei said to the doctor.


    "I understand." The doctor and said and glanced at Chen Lihua before sighing.


    "I will leave you two alone now." The do tor said before leaving the room.


    Liu Longwei''s eyes were already bloodshot now. He felt a pang of guilt hit him as he saw his wife lying motionless.


    He lowered his body and said to her. "I''m grateful I still have you despite everything, but I''m afraid you might not want me when you learn that the child is gone. It''s all my fault, I caused all of these, I couldn''t protect you!."


    There was nobody to console Liu Longwei at the moment. There was only the unconscious Chen Lihua with him, while Anne remained waiting outside the door.


    Not long after, Lady Chen and Madam Liu arrived. The two women immediately rushed to Chen Lihua''s side as soon as they stepped into the room.


    "Lihua?." Lady Chen called softly as she ??r?ssed her daughter''s face.


    "Longwei, what did the doctor say, will Jia Li be okay?." Madam Liu turned to her son to ask as she wiped the tears that appeared at the corner of her eyes.


    "Physically she will be fine, but mentally, I don''t know. I feel I have failed as a husband and as a father. I couldn''t protect my wife and child." Liu Longwei said as he stood at the side as he suffered from excruciating pain mentally.


    Lady Chen sighed as she sat beside Chen Lihua and held her hand.


    "My child, you have suffered a lot, and I promise to bring justice to you and your lost child." Lady Chen swore.


    She knew the pain of losing a child because she has lost a set of twin boys before, and she knew how painful it was.


    Madam Liu couldn''t hold her tears anymore as she began to weep. "What did Lihua do to deserve all of these?!."


    Turning to Longwei, Lady Chen asked, "Where is the person responsible for bringing pain to my child and for killing my granddaughter?."


    "She is under my custody, and currently undergoing torture." Liu Longwei replied.


    "What torture is good enough to bring my grandchild back? Look at the state my daughter is in, all because of that woman!." Lady Chen said angrily and Madam Liu tried to calm her down.


    "Ju Ju, please don''t scream, Lihua is having a rest."


    At her friend''s reminder, Lady Chen lowered her tone. She was pained that her son-in-law''s ex harmed her daughter.


    "Mum, I''m sorry." Liu Longwei apologized as he looked down. He was guilty and he knew it. He wished he had the ability to see the future so he would have stopped this accident from happening, but unfortunately, he was only a human without superpowers.


    Lady Chen didn''t know what to feel. Truthfully, she didn''t want to listen to him because he didn''t handle his old affairs very well and that caused her daughter to be hurt, but she couldn''t blame him entirely, because he had already broken up with his ex, almost a year before he got married to her daughter.


    Madam Liu knew that Lady Chen was very angry, and she was too. It''s just that she didn''t know who to blame. Whenever she turned to glance at her daughter-in-law that was lying unconscious on the bed, she would feel for her.


    "Longwei, I am angry with you, but I can''t really blame you for everything. I want you to make that woman pay a price worse than death for messing with my daughter. Without my permission, she is not to be handed over to the police." Lady Chen said in an authoritative tone.


    Liu Longwei nodded in understanding. He was not even planning to release Zie Yu any time soon. He would give her the worst punishment ever given to a human. He would do everything to torture her till he felt better.


    A few minutes later, Liu Longwei told them he was going to see the dead child before she was sent to the morgue.


    "I will come with you." Lady Chen said to Liu Longwei, and the two left the room together.


    When Liu Longwei saw his dead child, the daughter he''s has always wanted, his eyes became teary. The child''s complexion has already changed color.


    "She would have been a beauty like her mother." Lady Chem said as she wiped her tears.


    "Mum, take care of Lihua, I will go and bury the child. I don''t think she might want to see her when she wakes up." Liu Longwei said with her gaze on Lady Chen.


    "Go ahead. I don''t think Lihua can handle the news of her child, and she may not want to see the child because of the immense amount of pain." Lady Chen said.


    Liu Longwei turned around and wiped the tear at the corner of his eye, before turning around to wrap the dead child with the clothe before lifting her in his arms.


    "Your mother loved you with everything she had, I hope you rest well and forgive us for not being able to do anything to keep you." Liu Longwei whispered to the dead child in his arms.


    Lady Chen placed her hand on Liu Longwei''s shoulder and said to him, "Go and come back before Lihua wakes"


    So late on the night, Liu Longwei went to bury his dead child.

 Chapter 586 - What happened to Lihua?

    After burying his child, Liu Longwei received a call from AD to tell him about the latest development. He had brought down the entire Zie Cooperation.


    Liu Longwei received a call from Mr. X as well...


    "The organization has been leveled, there is no one remaining apart from the people in your custody. And I''m sorry you have to lose your child for this." Mr. X sympathized with him.


    "Thank you!." Liu Longwei said.


    "You don''t have to thank me. If you need anything, do let me know." Mr. X said.


    State the conversation, Liu Longwei phoned his father to ask the police to stop searching for Zie Yu, and they shouldn''t bother to look for her again, as he would release her whenever he wanted.


    When the Commissioner heard that, he was really helpless. He couldn''t do anything other than to plead with Mr. Liu to ask Liu Longwei to release Zie Yu so they could do their job.


    Before going back to the hospital, Liu Longwei went back to the place he called home to pick up some of Chen Lihua''s things.


    He felt as if the house was cold when he stepped in. He saw on Chen Lihua''s bed for a while before going on to pack a few of the necessities she might need during her stay at the hospital.


    Everything that was going on felt surreal. He couldn''t believe whatever happened and was going on. He hoped that his wife would recover soon and come back home.


    Before leaving the house, Liu Longwei called Taio to does to him on a video call.


    "Daddy!." The little guy called out in an excited little voice.


    "Hey! How are you?." Liu Longwei asked as he tried to keep a smile on his face.


    "I miss you and Mummy, when will you two come over, great-grandma made me some food," Taio said in his cute voice.


    "You have to spend a few days with great-grandma, your mother and I will come to pick you up later, okay?." Liu Longwei said to him in a gentle tone.


    "Okay. Where is mummy, I want to see her?" Taio requested, he wanted to see his mother before going to bed.


    "Your mother is sleeping already and you don''t want to disturb her right? Now be a good boy and go to bed, it''s past your sleep time already. " Liu Longwei said to him.


    "Okay, good night daddy!." Taio said as he waved his hand ????


    "Good night." Liu Longwei said before ending the call.


    On his way to the hospital, he got a call from Mu Boqin.


    "Longwei, I heard about what happened to Lihua, I''m sorry about everything that is going on." Mu Boqin said as he tried to console him.


    From the background, Liu Longwei could hear his sister''s voice.


    "What happened to Lihua?." Liu Dongmei asked with a worried tone as she approached her husband from behind.


    With the phone still placed in his ear, Mu Boqin turned to glance at her before saying to Liu Longwei over the phone, "Longwei, I will talk to you later, I have a lot of explaining to give to your sister."


    "Go ahead!." Liu Longwei said before ending the call. He sighed as he pressed his temples. He was tired, but he didn''t try to rest, because he owed Chen Lihua a lot.


    After the call ended, Mu Boqin explained Chen Lihua''s situation to her.


    Liu Dongmei almost fainted when she heard the news. "The child is gone?." She asked in shock.


    Mu Boqin nodded as he helped her to sit on the chair close by.


    "It''s all because of that bitch! She caused all of these! I''m going to teach her a lesson!." Liu Dongmei swore angrily with teary eyes.


    She could feel pain when she thought of how that evil ex of her brother killed her Chen Lihua''s child.


    "Don''t overexert yourself, your brother will take care of that, he will not let her go for causing pain to the entire family." Mu Boqin pacified her.


    "What about Lihua, how is she?." Liu Dongmei asked worriedly.


    "According to the doctor, she will be fine, but she''s still unconscious at the moment." Mu Boqin revealed.


    "I want to add her right away?." Liu Dongmei pleaded as she held his hands.


    "You are in no state to go to the hospital. You need to stay here and help your brother and Lihua look after their son." Mu Boqin gave her a kind remember as he spoke to her in a gentle tone.


    "Boqin, you have to help my brother out to deal with that vile woman. I will tear her apart if I see her!." Liu Dongmei promised in anger.


    "I will help Longwei settle the matter, just rest." Mu Boqin said while patting her shoulder.


    "How can I rest? Lihua is out there suffering so how can I rest? You should know what my sister Huiling passed through when she lost her child. I don''t know if Lihua can take this. She just had 2 more months before the child would be born, why does she have to go through all of these because rod some crazy woman?!." Liu Dongmei asked as she started to cry really hard.


    It look a long while before Mu Boqin managed to can her down and put her to sleep.


    This particular night, nobody that learned of the sad news was able to sleep. This was one of the troubling times in their lives.


    When Liu Longwei went back to the hospital, it was around past 1:00 AM. The two women were still awake as they watched Chen Lihua.


    Anne had not moved a step from the door since Chen Lihua was wheeled into the room. She felt guilty for everything Chen Lihua passes through.


    She blamed herself for what happened to Chen Lihua, and she kept thinking that if she hadn''t left her side, she wouldn''t have been kidnapped. Instead, she would be the one to receive serious injuries in the cause of being attacked.


    But no matter how she thought or blamed herself, she couldn''t change the present situation. What a depressing matter!

 Chapter 587 - Chen Lihua wakes up and demands for her child

    Liu Longwei, Lady Chen, and Madam Liu were awake all through the night to watch over Chen Lihua.


    Around 6:00 Am, Liu Longwei called the hospital director to take a leave for Chen Lihua. We had already talked about it with the Chief thoracic surgeon, but he wasn''t sure if it has been put in place.


    It''s right he shouldn''t be thinking about work right now, but he knows how much his wife valued her work, so he still had to make sure he did the right things on her behalf.


    The leave of absence Liu Longwei took for Chen Lihua was as long as 6 months. More than enough time for her to heal, he thought.


    After speaking wry the hospital director, he got a call from his ?ssistant, Duyi to remind him about his upcoming trip to visit the new branch in the next country.


    "If there are any work matters, contact my father, I won''t be available for a while." Liu Longwei said to him.


    Assistant Duyi was surprised by his tone and his words, ''did something happen?'' He thought.


    "Boss how long will you be away?." Assistant Duyi asked. He wanted to know how long he would handle some matters himself while waiting for the Boss to come back.


    "I don''t know." Liu Longwei replied and glanced at the door to Chen Lihua''s room. He was uncertain of how long he will be away.


    His wife was still unconscious after going through a lot, how could he still be concerned about his work? He had no idea of how long he will have to be by her side when she wakes.


    After the conversation, Liu Longwei turned to Anne and said to her, "Contact K2 and ask him to keep that woman alive. I don''t want her dead, at least not yet, then ask AD to send over some people here."


    Lady Chen turned to Liu Longwei to say, "Longwei, you look tired, take a rest. If Lihua wakes up, I will call you."


    "Mum, I can decide not to sleep for 2 days because of work, worth more when it comes to wife and family. I''m fine." Liu Longwei replied and went to find himself a place.


    Lady Chen nodded and moved her gaze back to her daughter. Even though the child has been removed, her stomach still looked as if she was 4 months pregnant.


    Madam Liu glanced at her son and felt he had aged overnight. She pitied him and said, "Longwei, at least go and freshen up, you wouldn''t like for Lihua to see you in this state right?."


    "Mum, my looks shouldn''t matter. I will brush my teeth and wash my face." Liu Longwei said as he opened the back he came with and took out some toiletries before walking into the washroom inside the room.


    He came out three minutes later with his face looking a little better.


    "Mum, you two should wash up as well while I look after Lihua." Liu Longwei suggested as he walked towards the bed.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu agreed and went to wash up. When they left, Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s hand and kissed the back of her hand.


    "Lihua, I missed you. Please wake up soon. Taio asked about you last night, he wants to see you." Liu Longwei says to his wife in a low tone.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu came out a few minutes later and sat on the couch.


    Liu Longwei was still holding onto Chen Lihua''s hand when he felt the movement of her fingers. He became apprehensive and called out to her in a tensed tone.


    "Lihua?."


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu hurried to his side as they asked what happened.


    "Lihua moved her fingers just now." Liu Longwei revealed.


    "I think as is about to wake up, I will get the doctor." Madam Liu said and left the room in a hurry.


    Chen Lihua who had been dreaming all this while started hearing voices, but she didn''t know where it was coming from.


    The voices sounded familiar, but she couldn''t recognize them.


    When she was conscious enough and tried to open her eyes, she saw a white light and immediately shut her eyes. The light in the room was too bright for her.


    Fu Hua noticed it and turned to Lady Chen to say, "Mum, please turn off the lights or dim it."


    "Oh!." Lady Chen replied and hurried to turn off the lights in the room, but she noticed the switch could be rotatable to dim or turn off the lights, so she dimmed the lights.


    "Lihua, it''s me, Longwei." Liu Longwei said to her in a gentle tone and he ??r?ssed her hand.


    Chem Lihua was still trying to recognize where she was, recognized his voice, and called out to him, "Longwei?."


    "You''re awake?." Liu Longwei asked as he couldn''t hide the excitement in his tone.


    "Lihua, you''re awake? Thank God!." Lady Chen said happily as she glanced at Chen Lihua who was still trying to open her eyes.


    Because of the way Zie Yu tortured her with the lights, it still affected her eyes, and so she was finding it difficult to adapt to the lights in the room, although it has been dimmed


    At last, Chen Lihua''s eyes fluttered open, and it took a while for her to adjust her sight.


    "Lihua?." Liu Longwei called out again. He was starting to be worried again.


    Chen Lihua managed to glance at her surrounding, and asked to admit the pain she was feeling. She just had surgery, so her body was tired. Where am I?."


    "Lihua, can you see us? You are in the hospital." Lady Chen replied.


    "Yes, you are in the hospital. Relax, you are fine now." Liu Longwei said as he ??r?ssed her forehead.


    It was as if Chen Lihua just recalled what happened before she fell unconscious. Her breathing became ragged as she glanced at her stomach.


    She screamed in shock. "Where is my child?!."


    Lady Chen and Liu Longwei were shocked by her sudden outburst even though they expected it.

 Chapter 588 - The decision to tell her the truth

    "Lihua, calm down okay?." Lady Chen said to her as she forced her to lay on her back because she just tried to sit up.


    "Mum, how can I calm down, where is my child?!" Chen Lihua cried out as pain could be visible on her face.


    Liu Longwei was at a loss when he saw her reacting so strongly. If not for Lady Chen that called his name, he would continue sitting there without doing anything.


    "Longwei hold her legs!." Lady Chen said to him.


    Without wasting time, Liu Longwei held Chen Lihua''s legs in place to stop her from kicking her legs about.


    "Why are you two holding me? Leave me alone and bring my child to me, I want to see my child!" Chen Lihua screamed as her eyes became teary.


    Chen Lihua was afraid that her child was gone. Seeing the size of her stomach, she guessed something was wrong and demanded for her child.


    She knew her child was not inside her anymore and she was so scared of the reality.


    "Lihua please calm down, you just had a major surgery, you will tear open your wounds." Liu Longwei said to her in a gentle tone.


    "I don''t care! Bring my child to me! Where did you take her to, bring her to me!." Chen Lihua said in a fierce tone.


    She didn''t want to listen to any other thing they were saying if they didn''t bring her child to her.


    "Lihua please calm down!." Lady Chen said almost in tears. She knew her daughter wouldn''t take this.


    She had no idea her reaction would be so much worse.


    Luckily, Madam Liu came back at this time with the doctor and two nurses. One of the nurses carried a tray in her hand, and a syringe could be seen on it. A new drip was there as well.


    Madam Liu was shocked with was happening and ran inside the room immediately.


    "Lihua?." She called out in surprise before turning to glance between Liu Longwei and Lady Chen.


    "What happened to her?."


    "She wants her child." Lady Chen replied with her gaze on Chen Lihua who seemed to have gone crazy.


    Madam Liu covered her mouth as she tried to stop herself from crying. She didn''t have the heart to watch Chen Lihua in that state.


    "I want my child!." Chen Lihua kept crying as tears streamed down her cheeks.


    Liu Longwei felt his heart hurt on seeing his wife in that state. The guilt he felt increased. He hated to see her hurt, and this time around, he was the cause of it.


    The doctor and the nurses hurried to the bed.


    "Mrs. Liu, it''s me, your doctor, please can you calm down for a bit, I want to talk to you, and I promise to reply to all of your questions." Chen Lihua''s doctor said to her.


    Chen Lihua calmed down and stopped kicking and struggling to get up, and the doctor gave a sign to Lady Chen and Liu Longwei to lose their hold on her.


    When she was finally set free, Chen Lihua tried to sit up, while gritting her teeth in pain, but the doctor stopped her immediately.


    "Mrs. Liu, you can''t sit up now, your wound will tear open, and then your recovery will take a longer time." The doctor said to her in a kind tone, and Chen Lihua listened to her.


    Liu Longwei, Lady Chen, and Madam Liu sighed in relief after Chen Lihua laid on the bed obediently.


    The doctor gave a sign to the nurse, and the latter nodded, so while conversing with Chen Lihua, the nurse injected Chen Lihua ????.


    "Doctor, what happened to me, and where is my child?." Chen Lihua asked in tears. She didn''t want to believe the absurd thoughts that were going through her mind. She wanted to have hope that somehow, her child was saved.


    The doctor smiled and said to Chen Lihua in a soothing tone while gently ??r?ssing her arm, "Mrs. Liu, please calm down. You look so tired now. You just had surgery, and as a doctor, I suppose you know what that means. You need to rest and relax your body. You are tired now, and you are sleepy already, just close your eyes and sleep for a long while, we will talk again when you awake."


    It was asleep Chen Lihua''s brain and entire body was subject to the doctor''s words, and just like that, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


    The doctor seemed to know that Chen Lihua would react that way, so she came prepared.


    Lady Chen and Madam Liu heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Lihua sleeping soundly.


    "Thank you, doctor!." They said to the doctor in an appreciative tone.


    "No need to thank me, Madams, it''s my job. Please, use this time to think about if you want to let her know about her current situation." The doctor said as her gazes landed on the three of them.


    "Doctor, you can see how badly she reacted when she wasn''t even sure about her child. If we tell her the truth, we are scared that her reaction would be much worse." Madam Liu said as she wiped her tears.


    "It''s left you as her family to decide whether you want to tell her the truth or not. But my advice is to tell her the truth as soon as possible, because the earlier you tell her, the easier it will be to manage her mental health." The Doctor advised.


    Liu Longwei who has been quiet, for a while now, thanked the doctor. "Thank you, doctor!."


    "No troubles. Mr. Liu, I think that as the patient''s husband, you will be able to make the best decision for her. Please think things through before she wakes up, she will only be out for about 4 hours.." The doctor reminded him.

 Chapter 593 - Perfectly fine and ready to leave

    A few months later, the media started to question about Chen Lihua who suddenly disappeared from the limelight.


    Her fans were worried about her, and the hospital director called Liu Longwei several times to ask about her before he was told that she traveled out for treatment.


    As for the media, Liu Longwei remained silent towards them. The media and Chen Lihua''s friends were restless and a few brave ones, held a silent protest, asking for news about her.


    The Chen and the Liu families were disturbed because of the constant attention, and ruckus.


    Since everyone was asking about Chen Lihua, her disappearance began to attract a lot of attention, and so Liu Longwei decided to give them a response.


    He released a statement saying that his wife was very sick and was flown abroad for treatment, then he asked her fans to pray for her well-being.


    His statement went viral. Some of Chen Lihua''s fans cried and began to ask what happened to her. They wanted to know the kind of sickness their idol had for her to have disappeared from their sight for so long, but the Chen and the Liu families were silent on the matter.


    Chen Lihua''s fans and some of the media found Chen Lihua''s social networks and sent heartfelt messages to her.


    Even after several days, she still hasn''t seen their messages or made a public statement, so they knew the illness was very serious, and they prayed for her recovery.


    Concerning the child they were expecting, Liu Longwei told them they lost the child, and they shouldn''t ask any more questions concerning it, as it was still a very painful memory to his wife.


    The media and all of Chen Lihua''s fans respected Liu Longwei''s words and doesn''t cause any ruckus, but they were still sad over the loss of the baby.


    They sent messages of consolation to the Chen and the Liu families, and their messages were well received.


    Liu Longwei used to stay up at night just so he could talk to his wife. Every time he video-calls, Chynna will help to answer the call and hold up the phone while Liu Longwei watches and talks to his wife.


    Liu Longwei tells Chen Lihua about his daily activities and Taio''s progress in his studies.


    "Lihua, we miss you. We wish you were here with us, and we wish you a quick recovery so you can come back home."


    Another day when Liu Longwei called on a video call, he let Taio speak with his mother.


    "Mummy, I miss you so much! When will you come back home? Daddy is trying his best to take care of me, but you''re still better than him."


    Taio went on to talk about his studies and his Kung Fu classes.


    "I told dad that I want to be strong enough to protect you, and he enrolled me in a Kung Fu class. Mummy when I have grown up, I will be able to protect you!."


    Chen Lihua listened to her little son speak, and will occasionally throw him some glances.


    Taio understood his mother''s conditions very well and didn''t bother that she wasn''t responding to him.


    Many times, Chynna will send Chen Lihua''s pictures to him when she wasn''t looking, and there was no day Liu Longwei wouldn''t stare at a new picture of his wife.


    One day, Liu Longwei learned from Chynna that Chen Lihua has been crying herself to sleep for a few days now.


    "...her doctors said that it''s a good sign. She is starting to feel her emotions, and that is a good progress before her treatment will commence."


    Liu Longwei was happy. Since Chen Lihua was beginning to let her emotions out, she will be able to agree and open up her mind to receive treatment.


    "Chynna, please take care of my wife, I will owe you on this one." Liu Longwei said to Chynna over the phone.


    "Mr. Liu you don''t need to ask me of this, Lihua is my best friend, and she has made a lot of sacrifices for me. You can rest ?ssured that I will do everything I can for her." Chynna said as she measured him with a smile.


    These days, Chen Lihua''s emotions could be seen on her face. Before she doesn''t say anything to anybody including Chynna, but these days, she was starting to make some gestures to her and will manage to say a few simple words to her.


    The doctors continued to examine Chen Lihua, and they would engage her in conversations and talk to her about a lot of interesting things.


    Sometimes, Chen Lihua would reply to their questions, and other times, she would remain in a daze.


    While she was starting to heal, she became willing to start receiving treatments, while her husband, son, and family members waited patiently for her.


    ************


    2 years later, Chen Lihua is fully recovered and starts planning to return home.


    Her mental health was perfect now, and she has gotten over her grief. Her complexion was back to how it used to be before and has now become a happy person.


    On her last day of checkups, her doctors examined her for a long time and tested her to be sure she was 100% perfect.


    Chen Lihua who now had a short hairstyle smiled at her two doctors and said, "I already said that I am perfectly fine, so what are you two still worried about?."


    "We want to be sure there is no problem with you." The foreign doctor said to her with a smile.


    "Mrs. Liu, we can see that you are perfectly fine and ready to leave, Congratulations!.." The Asian doctor said to Chen Lihua with a warm smile.

 Chapter 595 - Chen Lihua returns home

    The next morning, Chen Lihua, Chynna, and the bodyguards boarded the private jet and set out on their flight back to China.


    "Are you nervous?." Chynna asked Chen Lihua as she gently squeezed her palms ?


    "Truth to be told, I am a bit nervous. I haven''t seen my family in a long time, and I don''t know what their reaction would be." Chen Lihua replied with a smile.


    "Their reaction will definitely be positive. They love you and they have been longing for you so for such a long time." Chynna said to her in ?ssurance.


    "Do you think Taio can still recognize me after such a long time? Do you think he will still love me?." Chen Lihua asked.


    She was still a bit nervous because she was a seed of her son''s reaction. Her little guy was 5 years old, and going to 6, soon. She knows there will definitely be a lot of changes in him.


    "Of course he still loves you. He always calls you mummy, don''t you remember?." Chynna reminded her.


    Chen Lihua prays and hopes, the love he had for her, hasn''t changed. Then thinking about her husband, Liu Longwei, Chen Lihua was also nervous.


    She remembered instructing Chynna to stop answering his calls. When Liu Longwei wanted to visit, Chen Lihua found out about it and asked for him not to visit.


    When Chynna passed the message to Liu Longwei, he was sad. Luckily, he still got to see her every time she was fast asleep, which were on rare occasions.


    At that point in Chen Lihua''s life, she didn''t want to see anyone or talk to anybody because she was hurting so much, and her mental state was unstable, hence the reason for her attitude.


    Liu Longwei who had just returned from work late was told by the housekeeper that Taio has been asking for him.


    "Has he had dinner yet?." Liu Longwei asked.


    "Not yet, Sir." The housekeeper replied in a polite tone.


    Liu Longwei went straight to Taio''s bedroom to search for him. When he got there, he saw the little guy who was sitting on the fur carpet.


    "Liu Wei..." Liu Longwei called out in a gentle tone as he approached him.


    Taio slowly raised his face to stare at his father with his face tear-stained face.


    "What''s wrong?." Liu Longwei asked as he stretched his hands to keep his shoulder in place while waiting for a reply with furrowed brows.


    "Dad, when will mum come back?." Taio asked as he sniffed. He missed his mother so much, and he was already fed up with only seeing her from the phone.


    He wanted to see her physically, talk to her, while resting in her embrace. He wanted her to pick him up from school, and take him to the park.


    Liu Longwei sighed and wiped his tears as he explained, "Don''t cry, the doctors said your mother is all better now and will return soon."


    When Taio heard that, he raised his face to stare at his father and asked with an expectant look on his face, "Really?."


    "Yes." Liu Longwei replied.


    He spoke with Chen Lihua''s doctors in the morning, and he was told that she was all better now, and they would conduct a final check-up soon, before letting her go.


    But Liu Longwei did not know, was that the final check-up has already been conducted, and his wife was already on a flight back to China.


    "Wow! ???? then I have to prepare a present for Mummy," Taio said to his father with a little excitement.


    The little guy was all grown up now, he was not as chubby as he used to be when he was still a toddler, but he still looked healthy.


    Taio was excited that his mother was coming home, and so couldn''t wait to get a present for her.


    "We will do that tomorrow after you come back from school. For now, be a good boy and come down for dinner." Liu Longwei said as he rubbed his hair.


    Taio took his hand off his hair, and arranged his hair by himself, before following him out of his bedroom.


    After dinner, Liu Longwei sent Taio to his bedroom to sleep. After Taio lay on his bed, he covered him with the duvet before leaving for Chen Lihua''s bedroom.


    Since Chen Lihua left for her treatment, Liu Longwei has been spending the night in her bedroom.


    He missed her a lot, and spending the night in her bedroom, helped him to sleep peacefully.


    K2 who was with Chen Lihua had already notified AD of their secret return, so they didn''t have to worry about anyone finding out about their return, and transportation back to the house.


    Chen Lihua was given a warm welcome by the bodyguards that came to pick her. She smiled at them and greeted them before stepping into the car.


    As for Chynna, Chen Lihua asked for another car to send her back to her place, since they were not going in the same direction.


    While on her way to what used to be her home, Chen Lihua looked out through the window to glance at her surroundings. City B was still the same as the last she remembered it.


    There were no more changes in the city over the last 2 years.


    Chen Lihua was starting to become more nervous with everything. She was going to see her son and husband after a long time, and she wondered what their reactions would be.


    When the car pulled over in front of the familiar villa, AD opened the car door for her.


    Chen Lihua glanced at the big house and discovered that nothing has changed since the last night she had been there.


    Chen Lihua fiddled with her hands before stepping inside the house. As she walked into the house, the familiar fragrance of her home hit her nose.


    Anne and K2 helped to bring her luggage''s inside the house.


    The housekeeper who was about to retire for the night, saw a shocking scene before her when she heard some noise in the living room and came out to check what was going on.

 Chapter 596 - Liu Longwei is surprised to see his beloved wife

    The housekeeper who was about to retire for the night, saw a shocking scene before her when she heard some noise in the living room and came out to check what was going on.


    Before the housekeeper could scream, Anne immediately rushed over ad covered her mouth with her hand.


    Chen Lihua sighed in relief and said to her in a soft tone, "It''s me, I''m back. Where is my son?."


    The housekeeper who still had her mouth covered by Anne''s hand pointed towards the stairs.


    Chen Lihua smiled before walking away and leaving her bodyguards to take care of the remaining matter.


    After Chen Lihua disappeared from their presence, Anne let the housekeeper off.


    "These are madam''s luggage ???? ????send them to her bedroom," K2 instructed.


    The housekeeper nodded with a frantic expression on her face. She was beyond shocked to say anything.


    Seeing the Mistress of the house back home after a few years, and without any warning, was enough to cause her blood pressure to rise.


    After Anne and K2 left, the housekeeper said


    t on the floor and fanned herself in other to recover from the shock she has just received.


    After resting for a while, the housekeeper carried the bag and went up the stairs in quiet steps.


    Chen Lihua went straight to Taio''s bedroom to check up on him. She was so careful to not make any sound.


    From the door, she could see his figure sleeping peacefully on the bed.


    Tears gathered in her eyes as she walked towards the bed.


    "Taio?." She called out in a muffled tone as she ??r?ssed his hair.


    She missed her son, and she regretted missing out on more than 2 years of his life. Her little guy has grown so much that she could b?r?ly recognize him.


    From the side of his face, Chen Lihua could tell who he resembled. It was Liu Longwei for sure.


    Chen Lihua smiled and wiped her tears as she continued ??r?ssing his hair. She wanted to hug him, but she didn''t want to disturb his sleep.


    After spending 5 minutes in the room, Chen Lihua kissed Taio''s forehead and whispered goodnight to him.


    Chen Lihua left as gently as she came, and made use of the stairs to go to the last floor.


    The housekeeper was about to open the door to Liu Longwei''s bedroom when she heard the familiar good voice that sent shoved down her spine.


    "What are you doing?." Liu Longwei asked with furrowed brows with his gaze on the housekeeper.


    "Sir, sorry to disturb your sleep, but I was asked to keep these bags in the room." The housekeeper replies in fear.


    Over the last several months, Liu Longwei developed insomnia and can''t sleep well at night, so the servants usually retired early so as not to disturb him while he was resting.


    The housekeeper was afraid of what Liu Longwei will do to punish her for disturbing his peaceful sleep, so she hurried to apologize.


    Liu Longwei glanced at the luggage before her but didn''t find them familiar. He frowned as he asked who it belonged to.


    "It belongs to Madam." The housekeeper revealed.


    Liu Longwei was in a state of confusion and didn''t understand what she meant, so he asked for clarification. "Which Madam?."


    "I." Chen Lihua soft reply came as she climbed up the remaining steps and slowly appeared before them.


    The housekeeper sighed in relief and hurriedly disappeared. She went into Liu Longwei''s bedroom with Chen Lihua''s luggage, leaving them to themselves.


    Liu Longwei was shocked out of his mind when he saw the familiar woman before him. At first, he thought he wasn''t seeing properly, but after he blinked his eyes repeatedly and still saw that figure, he confirmed that she was real.


    He was deeply shocked out of his mind and remained standing there with his gaze on her. He was dumbfounded seeing her there. When did she come back?


    Chen Lihua had her gaze on him as she thought, ''Is this really my husband?''. She gave him a scrutinizing gaze, and the longing for him was gradually overwhelming her.


    Before Chen Lihua could say anything to him, She felt Liu Longwei''s figure rush to her side and the next second, she found herself in his arms.


    "Lihua? Is that you?." Liu Longwei asked as he hugged tightly in his arms.


    A smile slowly appeared on Chen Lihua''s face as her hands that were on her sides, slowly reached out to ??r?ss his back.


    "It''s me." Chen Lihua replied softly as she hugged him tightly and inhaled the familiar scent from him. Even though it has been more than 2 years, she could still recognize and enjoy his scent.


    "I missed you so much!." Liu Longwei confessed as he squeezed her in his arms. Chen Lihua was almost losing her breath, so she had to remind him about it.


    "Longwei, you are going to squeeze me to death."


    Liu Longwei quickly let her go and apologized. "I''m sorry, I was too happy to see you."


    "It''s okay." Chen Lihua said with a smile. To Liu Longwei, her smile still felt as beautiful as he remembered.


    "Lihua, you really shocked me tonight. You didn''t tell any of us about your coming back today. I would have come to take you directly from there." Liu Longwei said in a worried tone as he pulled her towards her bedroom.


    "I wanted to give you all a surprise, and it worked." Chen Lihua said as she allowed him to take her inside her bedroom.


    Liu Longwei led her to wait on the bed before sitting next to her, refusing to let go of her hand.


    "Why do you sleep here?." Chen Lihua asked curiously.


    Liu Longwei glanced around the bedroom before fixing his gaze on her, "I missed you so much that I couldn''t sleep in my bedroom, so I came over here."


    "You look like you haven''t be taken care of yourself over the past few years." Chen Lihua said worriedly as she touched his face and felt his subtle.


    Liu Longwei took her hands away from his face and held them saying, "It doesn''t matter now, you are back."


    Chen Lihua felt emotional seeing her husband look pained. She could tell his emotions from his eyes, and so, looked away from him.


    She glanced at the bed and said to him, "It''s already so late, you need to get some sleep."


    "No, I''m fine." Liu Longwei rejected her suggestion immediately.


    Chen Lihua smiled at his response and thought he must be missed her greatly, but she still asked, "Why?."


    Liu Longwei squeezed her hands gently and replied with a gentle gaze fixed on her.. "I''m afraid if I go back to sleep and wake, I won''t see you again."

 Chapter 597 - Taio meets his mother and refuses...

    Chen Lihua was touched by his words and almost shed tears. She looked into his eyes as she ??r?ssed his face and said, "I''m not going anywhere again."


    Liu Longwei still found it difficult that Chen Lihua was back, and was sitting next to him. Chen Lihua saw his lonely gaze and felt sad inside.


    She has never seen her husband that way before. She let go of his face and placed his hand on her face.


    "You can touch me and see for yourself that I''m real." Chen Lihua said softly.


    Liu Longwei left his hand on her face and gazed into her eyes, then slowly, his gaze moved to her brows, nose, lips, and jaw.


    Before he could look further, He felt Chen Lihua''s hands on his face, and before he could reason properly, her lips covered his in a warm kiss.


    Chen Lihua kissed him gently for a few seconds before releasing his lips.


    "Do you believe me now?." She asked as she stared at him with a misty gaze.


    I believe you." Liu Longwei replied with his gaze on her.


    Chen Lihua asked him to lay in bed and sleep, and he obeyed her. He lay on the bed, and Chen Lihua joined him without asking.


    Liu Longwei hugged her under the blanket and they stared at each other.


    "Are you happy to be back home?." Liu Longwei asked. He was still worried that she resented him.


    "I am." Chen Lihua replied and closed her eyes. She wanted him to go back to sleep, so she closed her eyes, so he could do the same.


    Not long after Chen Lihua lay in his arms, Liu Longwei shut his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


    In the morning around 6 AM, Taio came to his mother''s bedroom to look for his father, because he usually found him there every morning since his mother left.


    When Taio walked into the room, he saw his father and another woman lying in his arms. He couldn''t see her face since she was backing him. He felt angry that his father has betrayed his mother.


    He was still a child, but he understood what betrayal meant.


    Liu Longwei heard the little footsteps and opened his eyes to glance towards the door only to meet his son''s angry gaze.


    Liu Longwei was wondering the reason he was acting that way until he glanced at Chen Lihua who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, then he guessed that the little guy must have misunderstood him since he couldn''t see the face of the woman that was laying in his arms.


    Seeing his wife after waking up in the morning was a feeling of bliss. His mind was at ease. Remembering that his son has misunderstood him, he immediately explained in a low tone, so as not to disturb Chen Lihua''s sleep.


    "Don''t make any noise, your mother is sleeping."


    When the little guy heard that his mother was back, he forgot his father''s reminder and immediately rushed to the bed and climbed onto it.


    Liu Longwei felt an incoming headache with how vibrant his son was acting. He may end up waking up his sleeping mother.


    Taio got into bed and tried to see the face of the woman lying in bed. He managed to catch a glimpse of that familiar face, he immediately called out in an excited tone, "Mummy!."


    Liu Longwei was alarmed when he saw that her sleep was disturbed. He immediately shushed Taio, and that made him keep quiet.


    Taio glanced at his mother''s furrowed brows and tried to relax them with his little fingers. He was worried she wasn''t sleeping properly, but his actions caused him to disturb her sleep more and at last, she opened her eyes.


    Liu Longwei glanced at his stubborn son who refused to listen to him. Now that his mother was back, he wasn''t going to listen to him again.


    Chen Lihua met with Liu Longwei''s worried look. She smiled at him and was about to say something to him when she felt a soft pair of hands touch her arm.


    "Mummy!." Taio called out immediately he saw that his mother was awake. He was excited and had to feel for her attention immediately.


    Chen Lihua turned around to glance at her son who was gazing at her with a smile. Her face turned bright as she immediately sat up on the bed before pulling him into her arms.


    "My Baby has grown so big!."


    Liu Longwei watched them with a smile as the mother and son embraced themselves.


    "Mummy I missed you!." Taio said as he embraced her and lay his head on her ?h?st.


    "I missed you so much as well." Chen Lihua said and left a kiss on his cheek.


    "Mummy, you don''t have to go back right?." Taio asked with his gaze on him. He was worried his mother will have to leave for a long time again.


    "No, mummy is not going anywhere. Mummy is sorry for staying away for so long, forgive me." Chen Lihua said as she placed a hand on his hair and massaged it softly


    "Mummy you don''t have to apologize, because daddy you said you went for treatment," Taio revealed in his cute voice.


    "Really?." Chen Lihua asked as she glanced at her long-forgotten husband.


    Since she saw her son, she forgot the existence of her husband, what an irony of life.


    Liu Longwei couldn''t feel bad. He has been sleeping with his wife in his arms, so it was his son''s turn to be with his mother.


    Taio nodded in his mother''s arms in response.


    "Liu Wei, you have to go and take your bath before going downstairs for breakfast, you don''t want to be late for school right?." Liu Longwei said to him.


    "I''m not going to school," Taio said in his little determined voice as he glanced at his father.


    Liu Longwei saw that he was being serious and asked with a frown, "What''s your reason?."


    "I want to stay with mummy, I don''t want to go to school," Taio replied. He didn''t want to go to school and leave his mother behind, he wanted to stay at home with her all day.. He has missed her presence in his life for far too long.

 Chapter 598 - Greatest Achievement Together (THE END!!!)

    Taio ended up staying at home. The family of 3 laid on the bed and went back to sleep while hugging each other.


    Chen Lihua hugged Taio, and Liu Longwei hugged Chen Lihua from behind. This was the scene Liu Dongmei saw when she came to look for her brother.


    She came to visit with her daughter and little son when she learned from the housekeeper that he was still sleeping upstairs.


    She left her daughter with her little son and nanny in the sitting room before going upstairs to find her brother, but she first branched to check up on Taio, but she didn''t see him there.


    She thought the father and son might be sleeping in the same bedroom and goes to find them. She checks the bedroom that belonged to Liu Longwei, but that place was empty, so she decided to check in the other room which belonged to Chen Lihua.


    Liu Dongmei knocked once on the door before opening it, only to see a shocking scene on the bed. If not for her quick wits, she would have screamed on top of her lungs.


    Liu Dongmei covered her mouth with her hands as her eyes widened in shock. After ?ssimilating the shocking scene before her, she unlocked her phone and turned off the shutter sound from her camera before taking two pictures of the three families hugging themselves to sleep, before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.


    When Liu Dongmei left the room, she immediately posted the picture on their family group chat, without attaching any message to it.


    Next, she uploaded the photo on her social media handle after editing the picture. She blurred Taio''s face before posting the picture with a write-up ''My sister-in-law is back!''


    The family group chats and the social media were on fire after Liu Dongmei''s post. She received a lot of calls from her Liu and Chen family members and other close friends, who were asking about Chen Lihua''s return.


    Liu Dongmei confirmed the news to them and asked Liu Huiling to come over quickly, so they could do a simple decoration in the living room to welcome Chen Lihua, as members of their families were already on their way.


    Liu Huiling who has long moved back to Country C, came immediately to give the living room of their elder brother, a quick makeover.


    They hurried up with the decors, and the servants in the house helped to make work easier and faster.


    When the members of the Chen and Fu families arrived, the living room has already been decorated. They all sat down with excited faces as they couldn''t wait to give Chen Lihua a surprise welcome.


    The only person that was currently absent, was Chen Weiyuan. He was still catching up with Chynna.


    Chynna gave him a big surprise when she came back late at night. Weiyuan has been spending the night at her place, so when she came back, he was already asleep.


    He threw his weapon away and went straight to hug her. The two spent the night in each other''s arms while trying to catch up with their little experiences while apart from each other.


    When Chen Lihua, Liu Longwei, and Taio woke up again, it was past 10:00 AM and they were already very hungry.


    Chen Lihua pitied her little guy that he was starving, so she took him to his bedroom to help him wash up, with Liu Longwei ?ssisting from the side.


    After getting her little guy ready, Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei went to get dressed, while Taio waited in their bedroom for them to wash up so they could eat together.


    The little guy had earlier refused to eat without them, so his parents allowed him to wait for them, and gave him a rubric cube to keep himself busy while waiting.


    Liu Longwei wanted to give Chen Lihua privacy to bathe, but she pulled him into the bathroom with her. Chen Lihua took off her clothes in front of him, before getting into the shower ???? and asking to come to her.


    Liu Longwei took off his clothes and joined her in the shower. His eyes caught the slight scar on her abdomen as a result of the cesarean operation and placed his palms there.


    "I''m sorry." He apologized.


    Chen Lihua held his hands and said, "If you''re sorry, give me another child." After saying that sentence, she immediately kissed his lips fiercely.


    After m?k?n? ??v? and taking a shower, they both got dressed and Liu Longwei dried their hair before they came out to the room.


    Chen Lihua went to her son''s side to hug him, before leading him out of the room and took the elevator together with Longwei.


    The family of three went downstairs only to receive a shock of their lives. Chen Lihua was more shocked, at seeing the beautiful family she hasn''t seen in a long time.


    Everyone present, went up to hug Chen Lihua and to congratulate her on coming back home.


    The old lady of the Liu family was excited and emotional about seeing Chen Lihua. Chen Lihua became emotional as well and hugged the old lady.


    Lady Chen and Chen K gave their daughter a big hug before they all moved to the dining area to eat.


    Chen Lihua was long famished, so she ate a lot, with Taio and everyone that was sitting close to her, putting food on her plate.


    It was a harmonious brunch to behold, and Weiyuan and Chynna came over later.


    After the brunch, Liu Liwei announced that he was getting married soon since his sister-in-law was back because he has been holding up the wedding while waiting for her return.


    Liu Liwei and Chen Weiyuan began to fight on who would get married first, and at last, Chen Weiyuan won.


    Chen Lihua was carrying Liu Dongmei''s son, while she watched their quarrel with a happy smile.


    After their families left in the evening, the family of three, spent their time together. Liu Longwei filled Chen Lihua in on what happened while she was away.


    Chen Lihua learns about her fans and the media protest and decides to grant one interview to them.


    During the interview, she apologized for disappearing without warning, and also explained thy she was very ill, but she doesn''t disclose the sickness.


    When she was asked about her plans for her career, she said she didn''t have any plans yet, as she wanted to spend at least 1 year at home to care for her husband and son she didn''t interact with for more than 2 years while she was sick.


    When she was asked if she had plans of having another child, she replied, "Why not? I have healed completely from losing my second child, and I need to give my husband the daughter he has always wanted."


    And so just like her d?s?r? to get pregnant was, Chen Lihua went to her brother''s wedding with her best friend, Chynna while being 2 months pregnant.


    She also attended her brother-in-law, Liu Liwei''s wedding in her 3rd month of pregnancy.


    Liu Longwei took her to the hospital, and that was how they confirmed she was pregnant, with twin daughters.


    Liu Longwei''s excitement knew no bounds. He was having two daughters at the same time, what a blessing from the heavens!


    The Chen and the Liu families learn about Chen Lihua''s pregnancy from Liu Longwei, and they are excited about the news.


    They were getting a double honor for their previous loss.


    On Chen Lihua''s delivery date, Liu Longwei was with her. This time around, Chen Lihua was blessed to have a smooth labor and delivery.


    Seeing her identical twin daughters lying on her n?k?d ?h?st, brought tears of joy to her face. Liu Longwei couldn''t withhold the tears from dripping down his eyes when he held his newborn girls in his arms.


    Taio was very happy to see his little sisters and was already thinking of protecting them.


    The Chen and the Liu families spread the good news and shared blurred images of the beautiful little twin girls.


    The media and the netizens were excited and sent them congratulatory messages.


    Liu Longwei personally named his twin girls, and he paid a lot of attention to them as they were growing, to the extent that the cute plump little girls, loved his presence and attention more than their mother''s.


    The little Taio became a protective older brother to his little sisters, and the little girls would always run to him to ask him to play with them.


    As Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei watched their son teaching their daughters the letters of the Chinese Alphabet, they felt blessed and fulfilled in their hearts.


    This was their greatest achievement together!
