CEO Vengeful wife

Chapter 50 - Who exactly are you?

"Is this a joke?" Jing Lihua was lost. He looked completely serious; he didn’t look like he was joking.

Li Zhiqiang didn’t reply. His amused eyes looked at her. He pointed at her leg. "We need to get that fixed first." He leaned forward. With a swift, light moment, he picked her up.

Jing Lihua’s face filled with utter disbelief. "What are you doing?" With the close proximity, her face was inches away from his face. Moreover, his shirt was still not buttoned. She could feel his body heat through the thin cloth of his shirt. She could even feel his steady heartbeats. She felt like she was going to have a heart attack.

"Put me down!"

Li Zhiqiang looked at her in confusion; he had already started walking for the elevator. "Can you walk on your own"

"Yes!"

Li Zhiqiang slowly put her back onto her feet. His arm stayed around her waist in case she stumbled. Once free, Jing Lihua quickly pushed him away and pressed herself against the corner of the elevator.

Li Zhiqiang’s eyes filled with mirth. She was acting like a feisty scared cat. He felt a sudden urge to pat her. But he had to restrain her. This cat might claw at him or bare its teeth at him.

"Where are you taking me?" Jing Lihua asked when he pushed the button for the highest floor of the building.

"To my apartment." He stayed silent for a moment before explaining. "I’ve invited some friends. Your wound might get an infection if not tended properly."

"There is no need really. Just get me my phone. I’ll leave" Jing Lihua waved her hands in protest. She didn’t want to be an inconvenience.

"You want to leave without giving me my reward?"

Jing Lihua stared at him. After much contemplation and a long silence, she asked.

"What exactly you want?" Jing Lihua assumed he must be joking the first time.

"You."

Jing Lihua: "..."

"Can we settle for something else?"

"No."

Jing Lihua didn’t know what to do with this man. "Let’s try again Dr. Li. I’ve plenty of properties in Beijing. If you want anything else, I can easily grand it to you. How about this? I ask my secretary to name a subsidiary for you? There is a Subsidiary I have in Hong Kong. It is doing very well in the market. You wouldn’t even need to look after it."

"I want nothing else"

Jing Lihua felt completely defeated. She had presented him with such a nice offer. What else she could tempt him with? "I’m sorry Dr. Li, I can’t give myself to you"

"Then I’ll steal you."

This man was impossible. With a deep breath, she looked away. She didn’t want to continue this ridiculous conversation. The elevator door opened into a huge gallery. Jing Lihua was blinded momentarily at the magnificent scene. Pure white walls, pure white floor; large glass panes covered the entire length of walls. The ceiling was very high. Curved stairs led to the upper floor. Beautiful metallic flair with intricate design decorated the stairs and border of the upper floor.

"Does this place belong to you?"

"Yes"

Jing Lihua realized why he was not tempted by her offer. She also realized why he was not scared when she threatened to get him fired the other day. This man belonged to some wealthy family. He owned such a magnificent penthouse. The penthouse was worth millions at least. Her subsidiary must be something insignificant in his eyes.

"Doctors are waiting. Follow me"

When Jing Lihua tried to move, her leg opposed her. She winced in pain and placed a hand over the wall for support.

"You can not walk." Li Zhiqiang gently picked her up. The situation was too much for her - This man was treating her like a doll that he could pick up anytime without her consent.

She protested but Li Zhiqiang turned a blind eye to her protests. He didn’t put her down until he carried her to the bedroom on the second floor. Jing Lihua wanted to tell him an earful but suddenly stopped. In the bedroom, there were at least five senior doctors. She glanced around nervously.

Ten minutes later.

Her leg was bandaged and properly taken care of. She kept her silence the whole time. The doctors worked efficiently like professionals. She didn’t want to create a drama in front of them. All the time, her mind was racing with different theories.

The click of the door brought her out of her thoughts. Jing Lihua looked up and realized that there were only two of them in the room.

"Who exactly are you?" She suddenly asked.
