Looking at the couple leaving hand in hand, Mother Li rushed after them but only after signalling her other son to look after the mess she created.
Understanding the signal that his mother gave him, Li Yan went to the reporters and took out a check
" you guys take this money and go for a vacation and don't come back anytime soon or else i cannot help you if my brother suddenly feels like dealing with you.
By the way, thank you so much for today. I must say standing in front of my brother like that was surely a brave act. Well done." Saying this Li Yan left the mall.
Reporters-"..."
Reporter 1- " I still don't understand why does Mrs.Li and her younger son asked us do this and even gave us the money to scare their daughter in law. And by the way is that actress really married to Mr.Li?"
Reporter 2-" yes, but isn't she signed under their rival company?, is it really a strategy to get an upper hand?
Reporter 3- "what upper hand, don't you know Mr.Li company is far higher in status in the entertainment industry. And why are you all interested in it. For me it was Phew, scary, lets just leave this place as soon as possible,"said a reporter for which all of the reporters agreed.
In the car:-
Even though they have come out of the mall and are on the way to the mansion, there was no sign of Li Jie leaving the hold on her hand.
Looking at the man who leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes, Zhang XiaoXi could not take her eyes off him.
He looked like an emperor who rules the world. His facial features hard and anger emitting from his body But, for some reason those features are so perfect that it made her think that whether someone has sculpted it.
While she was busy in her thoughts about her sculpture, LI jie suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her. then their eyes met.
Li Jie saw his wife staring at him as if she was studying his facial features. Zhang Xiaoxi could only turn her head in embarrassment on being caught red handed.
Meanwhile Li Jie smiled at his wife's actions and came closer to her intend to tease her.
"I know that i am handsome but i didn't know you like looking at me."
Startled by the sudden closeness Zhang Xiaoxi was about to jump in shock.
Having observed her antics, Li Jie held her shoulders and pressed her back on the seat to put her in place. "stop jumping, you will hurt your head" - he said.
nodding she looked out of the window. Thinking that he stopped teasing her, she sighed only to realise she was very wrong.
Li Jie smirked at her and whispered slowly, "After going back home, you can look at me as much as you want. WIFEY, you don't have to restrict yourself. we have a legal document binding us together. I am all yours."
Coming closer he whispered in her ears" Only you have the right to look at me with clothes and without clothes too". he winked.
Imagining Li Jie without clothes, suddenly she imagined him with toned muscles and abs. his upper body bare and so much skin exposed. Zhang Xiaoxi gulped a mouthful of saliva.
Looking at her gulping, Li Jie could not help but tease her more.
"Are you having dirty thoughts MRS.Li? I am happy to oblige if that's what you want. I must say, I didn't expect you to be so open minded."
Widening her eyes Zhang XiaoXi pushed Li Jie and said "Shameless, I am not imagining anything about you. Why would I think about your body? Hmpf, i have seen great bodies which are far better than you, did you forget i am an actress, All the actors have great bodies and we do some bed scenes too regularly where i can touch their abs" - Xiaoxi said trying to get out of her embarrassment.
She was just trying to babble to get out of embarrassment, but listening to it, something in Li Jie's gut didn't sit right.
Squinting his eyes, Li Jie pulled her towards him and pinched her chin which made her look up to him, leaning closer he said in a hoarse voice
"Did you just say that the actors bodies are better than mine? very well, Let me show you whose body is better after we go home. I am sure, since you have seen so many, you can tell by a glance whose body is better."
This was the first time, They were both so close to each other that their eyelashes are almost touching. The way Li Jie was looking into her eyes made her mesmerised. His eye twinkled with mischief. she could not break the eye contact. It was the same for Li Jie too.
He didn't mean to pull her this close but when she started talking about other mens bodies, he could not control himself for some odd reason. He know he was being childish but he could not help it. he didn't want to admit he was jealous and didn't want to admit that his wife is making him feel things which are new to him.
They both could feel each others breaths on their faces. Her lips and the mole on her lip, Li jie's heart started beating faster after looking at the mole. His thumb brushed against the mole in a gentle manner.
Zhang Xiaoxi who was already out of her conscious mind closed her eyes when Li Jie's thumb brushed against her upper lip.
Looking at her closed eyes,her fast breathing and her small thin lips, Li Jie could not think straight and was about to move forward towards her lips.
"Squeak "
The chauffeur stepped on the break and stopped the car in front of the mansion .
Li jie- "..."
Zhang Xiaoxi-"..."
