How dare he!

Author Note:

I'll tell you this once and for all. Li Zhiqiang IS THE MALE LEAD.

Phew!

I've said this before countless times but you guys seem to miss it always. So here, I scream it. Also, Su Liwei is the second male lead. Although he loves FL, he is confused and will make mistakes that will make him lose her. So there are two Male Leads in my novel. We don't get to see that much in web novels cause Second male lead is often narrated as a trashy, greedy man who hates the female lead and has no feelings for her. But It gets boring after some time. So I wanted to try something new. I hope you support the new setting!

Love author!

When Jing Lihua's eyes opened, her vision focused on a devil's face.

"Did I die?" She asked in a daze. But shouldn't she go to heaven instead of hell?

And aren't devil's supposed to be ugly? How came this devil is so handsome. Could it be an angel? No... look at his aura. Only a devil can possess such a scary aura.

The devil in front of him didn't say anything. Instead, he did a very unexpected thing and helped her sit. What a nice devil.

"Who are you?" Jing Lihua held her head and the memories of the last day flushed back.

The handsome devil was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he went gloomy.

Jing Lihua shivered. Why is the temperature falling suddenly? She looked at the devil. He looked like an ultracold ice block who was radiating all that coldness.

"Li Zhiqiang." His voice was gruff.

For a moment Jing Lihua frowned. The name sounded familiar. Did she know him?

She glanced around. She was in a hospital room. The handsome devil was wearing a white coat.

"You must be... the doctor?"

No answer.

The man didn't say anything. His expressions were that of a child whose favorite candy had been stolen.

Weird.

Jing Lihua counted his silence as yes.

"Doctor Li? Why are you holding my hand?" He wouldn't let go when she tried to retract.

"Pulse." The moody doctor didn't like to use many words.

Jing Lihua looked around and tried her best to ignore the warm hand and tingling touch over her sensitive skin. How much time was required to take someone's pulse?  

Her heart was beating fast. Must be because of the IV drip. She didn't want to admit that the ridiculously hot doctor in her proximity was the reason her heart was somersaulting.

A mature woman like her would never admit to having such reactions.

Could he not sit a further away to give her air to breath?

"Did anyone came with me?" 

Silence. A very long silence. Jing Lihua sighed and looked away. He wasn't going to reply.

"Restroom. Would you like to send someone for him?"

"No, it's okay."

Jing Lihua's eyes softened. Mo Liang must have waited for long for her to wake up. She felt concerned for him and temporarily forgot the scary presence beside her. Suddenly, she felt the hold on her wrist tighten a bit.  

"What is your relationship with Mr. Mo?"

"Ha...?"

"You relationship?" The temperature fell a few more degrees.

"Friends..."

"Nothing more?"

"Yes...?"

Silence. His gripped eased. Jing Lihua was baffled.

"Someone from the family needed to sign the forms." Li Zhiqiqng gave a random excuse.

"And you thought he was my family...?"

Silence. Meant 'Yes'. Jing Lihua stared at him before puffing. This doctor was really ignorant. He didn't even know who she was? She was the great president of the Tang enterprise! Everyone also knew who was Mo Liang. So he should know that Mo Liang was not her family.

"Doctor Li, how long is it going to have you check my pulse? I don't think it takes that long."

Dr. Li finally let go of her wrist. Only once his firm grip left, she realized how dominating his hold was.

Instead of leaving the doctor walked to a side and picked up a tray from the side table, brought it in front of her and placed it in her lap. And to her even greater surprise, he took a spoonful of porridge and guided it to her mouth. Feeling weird, Jing Lihua tilted her head slightly.

"Is your hospital lacking in nurses?"

"You need nutrition."

"But that sort of work is left for nurses. You are a doctor." And a very handsome one from whom I wouldn't feel comfortable eating. "Leave it. I can eat myself."

He glanced at her right hand that was connected to the IV drip. 

"I can eat with my..."

Before she could finish, Li Zhqiqng sighed and shoved the spoon in her mouth.

Jing Lihua stared at him.

Was he crazy?

Before she could even object, he shoved another spoon in her mouth. She stared at him with big startled eyes filled with incredulity. Li Zhiqiang found her expressions quite cute. His eyes softened considerably and his cold face looked relatively 'less' scary. She looked like an adorable kitten. A severe urge to pat her rose in his heart. But he pushed back his urge, thinking it would be difficult to explain if he did that. He guided another spoonful to her mouth totally ignoring her objections.

Jing Lihua didn't know what the hell was wrong with this crazy doctor's head. She admitted that he was unreasonably hot but that didn't give him any excuse to act on his will.

She glowered at him trying to make her face look as scary as possible. But in Li Zhiqiang's eyes, she looked more and more appealing and cute. Surprisingly his JingJing looked more alluring when angry. Hmm... Should he purposely anger her in the future?

If Jing Lihua knew what was going on through this man's head, she would have wanted to kill herself. That her seriously maintained scary face with great difficulty and it was having the opposite effect.

"Don't cross lines." Jing Lihua snatched the bowl from his hands. "You might not know who I'm but I can easily have you lose your job."

His JingJing knows how to threaten. Since the last time, she has really grown ferocious. But he liked the change. It made him want to tame her.

Jing Lihua detected amusement in his eyes instead of fear. She wasn't satisfied with his response. What would it take to scare him? She would pay anything just to see a scared look on his face.

"You doubt my words?"

Silence. Only amusement in his eyes increased. His face was rather expressionless.

Jing Lihua gave up. She grumpily ate the tasteless porridge. With some anger, she glanced at him. But once she took the second spoon, it slipped from her hand. She picked it up and slowly guided it to her mouth. The spoon trembled and fell into the bowl once again.

After giving countless tries, Jing Lihua wanted to give up. But the crazy doctor was still staring at her like some motionless statue. So feeling helpless, she picked up the spoon. 

Or so she tried to...

Swoosh!

The spoon flew across the room while spilling porridge everywhere. Her clothes were dirtied, her bedsheets were messed up. Even her left cheek was smeared with it.

When he saw his JingJing's beautiful face smeared with porridge, he couldn't resist his urge. His lips curled up into a smile.
