I hold the upper hand
I hold the upper hand
Underneath such a powerful man, Jing Lihua gave up all the hopes of pushing him off.
Under a hopeless state, suddenly her eyes ignited.
'I won't give up like this. You want to play with fire Mr. Li? Then fire it is!'
She countered his assault with a fiery passion, her hands struggled out of his hold and wrapped around his neck, and pulled him towards her with force. Her cherry red lips forcefully pushed into his lips.
Bring kissed so furiously, Li Zhiqiang also naturally didn't hold back anymore. His arms went behind her back and pulled her into his embrace.
"Agh!" Sharp pain at her bottom lips brought her out of the indulgence. "L-Li Zhiqiang, what are you..." Jing Lihua was shocked. She glared at him. "Did your mother never teach you that you must be gentle with women?"
Who could have known he would bite all of sudden?
Glancing briefly at her expressions, Li Zhiqiang chuckled. "My mother did teach me I should be gentle with delicate woman, but with a fierce woman like you..." He left his words unfinished and leaned in to kiss her fiercely.
His lips pried open hers and invaded her mouth. No matter how much Jing Lihua tried to keep up with his speed, his passion still dominated her. And she was left hopelessly at the receiving end of his kissed and bites.
Damn it! Li Zhiqiang, one day I will have you under me! She determined in her heart.
It took several minutes before the beast within Li Zhiqiang could be placated. By the time he was done with her, she was left totally breathless with bruised lips and a trail of hickories along her jawline and extending down to her neck. On the other hand, he was calm like still water. It was as if they hadn't engaged in a fiery session of making out a moment ago.
Looking at his calmness, Jing Lihua was both enraged and embarrassed as she tried to calm herself.
Suddenly Li Zhiqiang leaned his forehead against her.
Jing Lihua paused.
"Told you." He whispered quietly. A teasing smile still on his lips. "When I am done with you, you wouldn't be laughing."
Jing Lihua pressed her lips into a thin line. "You are always so overconfident President Li." She angrily pushed him off.
However, she couldn't hide the redness of her face.
Li Zhiqiang's eyes fell on the trail of marks he left on her. Looking at her reddened lips and flushed expressions, he looked satisfied. He titled his head to a side and said with a smirk. "My confidence emerges from the state you are in right now."
"You...!"
Suddenly Li Zhiqiang walked forward and patted her. "There there. One day you will get the upper hand between us."
Jing Lihua: "..."
She smacked away his hand. Fiercely glaring at him, Jing Lihua crossed her arms. "President Li, now do you mind telling me why did you intrude in my personal residence this late at night"
"Since we are business accomplices, I want President Jing to have healthy and regular meals. That's all."
Jing Lihua raised her eyebrow with a small smile. Following Li Zhiqiang, she walked into the kitchen. However watching a series of dishes on the dining table, she was shocked.
"Li Zhiqiang... You didn't have to do this..." She felt strange guilt. Being in the business circle she knew exactly how important this man Li Zhiqiang was. And more than that, she knew exactly how important his time was. And to think that he spent so much time...
"Actually, it didn't take much time. I have been here for just an hour. It took me no more than half an hour." Li Zhiqiang said; his tone held a hint of pride.
Jing Lihua laughed lightly. "When did you learn to cook? From last I remember, six years ago you couldn't even differentiate between different types of flours."
The anger within Jing Lihua gradually dissipated. To think that he had put so much effort just to cook for her, Jing Lihua couldn't deny that she was touched. And she exactly knew how important this man's time was. And still, he did go this far.
"After you left, I had a lot of time to learn."
At that point, Li Xun's words emerged in Jing Lihua's head. Back in Hong Kong at Uncle Wei restaurant, Li Zhiqiang had left temporarily to attend a call. Jing Lihua had a brief conversation with Li Xun. Between conversations, he had told her how Li Zhiqiang had gone insane after she had left.
He had chased out all the servants from his apartment, including the cooking staff.
According to his words, that period of time was a nightmare for Li Xun and all the subordinates in Li Empire. So Li Xun begged from Jing Lihua with puppy not to leave his big brother again. He wanted to live a normal life! Not like a terrified being tied above a volcano that could erupt at any moment!
According to Li Xun words, at that time, Li Zhiqiang wouldn't tolerate someone's presence near him.
During the time, he barely ate, and even if he did, he made all of it by himself.
'So did he learn in during that time?' Jing Lihua pondered over for a while but didn't ask anything from him on this matter.
Later that day, after eating the sumptuous dinner, Jing Lihua was satisfied. She even managed to sneakily take a few photos of Li Zhiqiang in that pink apron. Laughing evilly, she uploaded the photo on her company's network clouds.
'Just you wait, President Li! One day I will blackmail you with this till you beg for an apology from me.'
"I think you should think twice before doing that." Suddenly Li Zhiqiang's voice rang out. He was sitting not far from Jing Lihua, his elbow over the dining table and his chin lazily rested over his palm. A wicked spark in his eyes.
Damn it! She forgot he could read minds.
But nevertheless, she had the photo!
"I hold the upper hand." Jing Lihua said with smugness.
"I also have something." Li Zhiqiang lightly flashed his phone, maintaining his wicked smile.
Looking at the phone, Jing Lihua's eyes widened in shock.
