"Jie Jie you worked hard."
Wu JingShi was startled to hear General Li's voice and in reflex, she took a step away from Li Zhiyue's arms. While Li Zhiyue did not say anything and just nod to Wu Feng as their gazes met.
"thank you for accompanying my granddaughter this night."
"it is my pleasure to spend time with Third Miss Wu. Grandpa"
A maid approached them and whispered something on Wu Feng's ear and the maid went back to the house after.
"Your wife and other sons are inside. let us go in and have some dinner. I am sure that you all did not eat during the party." Wu Feng said to General Li
"grandpa. How'-.."
Wu JingShi stopped and wanted to say something to Wu Feng but did not pursue the matter. Wu Feng understood what Wu JingShi was worried about so he said.
"Fin is asleep and he already ate a while ago." in a low voice that is enough for the two of them to hear each other.
Wu JingShi smiled and silently followed after them. While Li Zhiyue was still observing Wu JingShi without knowing that his father was observing him too.
The two elder was walking in front while Wu JingShi and Li Zhiyue were behind them while keeping a fair distance from the two elders.
"old man. It seems like my son is still interested in Jie Jie."
"I will not say anything for now but I need you to look up what happens when little Yue went to the US. I am not sure what happened to them and it is evident that your son had first seen Xiao Shi this night from his reaction earlier. I will not give my granddaughter to someone who isn't worthy of her. Even if that is your son Yao."
"Leave that to me old man. But I want to say this before anything. I will be glad if Jie Jie will be part of my family officially."
In the living room, most of the Wu family elder was talking happily with Yang Xin. While in the other corner, Li Chengyu and Yunzhao were with Wu Fan and Wu Kei. Li Chengyu was the first one who noticed General Li and the others come in.
After the formal greetings, Li Chengyu approached Wu JingShi.
"Hello, Senior. I am Li Chengyu. Thank you for helping me back then at the university. It was a pity that you transferred before I had the chance to say my thanks. It's been six years already. Well, I am not sure if you remembered my name."
Wu JingShi was in deep thinking. Trying to remember when and what happened.
"Chengyu? ….. ah! The Motorbike guy!" Wu JingShi exclaimed and even pointed at Li Chengyu when she mentioned the motorbike.
"hahaha yes, the motorbike incident." Chengyu smiled shyly as Wu JingShi mentioned it.
It seems like she did remember my name.
Chengyu thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Yang Xin walked near them when she heard Wu JingShi mentioned about the incident.
"motorbike? Why? What happened?"
"oh it was nothing mother" Li Chengyu immediately stopped his mother for asking further but no to avail, Yang Xin faced Wu JingShi and asked her instead.
"tell me, dear. What about the motorbike" she said to Wu JingShi.
"mother please it was embarrassing," Li Chengyu said as he slightly tugs Yang Xin's shoulder. While still trying to stop his mother and gesturing to Wu JingShi not to tell his mother about it.
"hahaha, it was nothing major Mrs. Li. It was at the university's gate. Chengyu here was somewhat busy with his phone while wearing his headphone and did not notice the motorbike was fast approaching him. He was quite a distance from me and I doubt he could hear me. I was not a fast runner back then so I just threw my bag to his direction with all my force. Luckily I hit him and somehow he noticed the motorbike and he evaded on time." Wu JingShi said as she had not noticed Li Chengyu's gestures.
Li Zhiyue frowned who was behind of Wu JingShi for the whole time as he witnesses how his younger brother acts in front of Wu JingShi. Without knowing why he was upset and before he knows it, he grabbed Wu JingShi's arm and drag her away from the living room.
"hey! Where are taking me? Stop! You are hurting me! Mr. Li!" Wu JingShi shouted to Li Zhiyue who was walking fast. It seems that Li Zhiyue could not hear what Wu JingShi had said.
"I said it hurts! Let me go! Li Zhiyue!"
Li Zhiyue walked past the main door and was still dragging Wu JingShi. As if he did not hear Wu JingShi's complaints. He walked fast to his car and opened the car door. He looked at Wu JingShi and noticed that he was holding her hand too hard that it now had red marks. He calmed himself and want to say something but he stopped. Instead, he shoved Wu JingShi in the car and put the safety belt on her and closed the door after. He immediately turned to the driver seat and started the car's engine.
"where are you taking me?" Wu JingShi said as she gently massages her swollen right arm. She glared at him. While Li Zhiyue droved fast.
"stay away from him." Li Zhiyue said. His eyes are on the road with his irritated tone and expression.
"him? Who?" Wu JingShi asked in confusion.
"Li Chengyu. Stay away from him."
Wu JingShi felt irritated by his irrational behavior.
"why would I do that?" she asked in annoyance.
"Because I said so!"Li Zhiyue's voice raised a little and this made Wu JingShi felt irritated even more.
"Who are you to decide who I should be with ?" she asked as her voice raised too.
Li Zhiyue did not say anything.
Wu JingShi let out a sigh and closed her eyes for a minute.
Wu JingShi calms down. You still have your son that needs you. No need to argue with this type of man.
She said to herself.
"stop the car. Let me out," she said in a calm manner.
There is still no reply from Li Zhiyue.
"I said stop the car," she said once again while containing her anger to rose again.
Li Zhiyue locked the doors in the car from the driver's control. Parked the car near the beach. Since they unexpectedly traveled to far from the city. Wu JingShi unfastened her seat belt and tried to open the door but failed.
"let me out Li Zhiyue."
"stay away from him."
Wu JingShi let out a breath and calmly turned to face Li Zhiyue and asked,
"and why would I?"
"because I don't like it." Li Zhiyue replied flatly.
"Why are you acting like that? Let me remind you. We are not close and we just met today. Is this how CEO Li should ac--"
Li Zhiyue felt annoyed for her reasons and in a split second, he grabbed Wu JingShi's hand and put his left hand to her nape to pull her to him and kissed her just to shut her up. Li Zhiyue planned to give her a smack but the moment he tasted her, he seemingly can't get over it.
