Chapter 128 - Shrewd Cat

"What the f**k?!" Su Jiayi cried out when the cat attacked her face. The cat snarled and scratched her face.

Jing Lihua turned back, surprised. It happened too fast. She couldn't keep up with all that.

All she saw was Su Jiayi and the white cat engaged in a fiery fight. She stood frozen for a moment, the next moment she broke into laughter. Grabbing her belly, she tried hard to stop herself but she couldn't.

"What the f**k are you laughing for, bitch!" Su Jiayi cried out. "Are you going to help me or not?!" She had just gotten the cat off her face and pushed her down on the floor. But the cat didn't give her a minute to breathe and the next second, it lurched at her again. Jumping right from the ground to her face. Screams of Su Jiayi and snarls of the cat were mixed together.

They were a melody to Jing Lihua's ears.

She couldn't stop laughing to think of doing anything to stop them.

Catching sight of Jing Lihua laughing her ass out, Su Jiayi was maddened. But she couldn't keep that cat off her face on her own.

Having no choice, she resorted to running away. Jing Lihua has hardly gotten a little control over her laughter. But when she saw Su Jiayi running away like that from a little kitten, she once again broke into laughter.

"Oh, God!" Jing Lihua wiped the tears from her eyes. At her feet, she saw the white cat snarling in the direction Su Jiayi was running. She chuckled and picked up the cat in her arms. Once the cat-faced Jing Lihua, it meowed very cutely. "Now that's my girl." Jing Lihua patted her and laughed again. "You deserve a treat for what you did today."

With a very happy expression, securing the white cat in her arms, Jing Lihua walked for Li Zhiqiang's apartment.

...

Su Jiayi bust into the bathroom. Her face was covered with scratched. Some of them were even bleeding. "I won't ever forgive her for this." She hadn't ever been insulted like this.

Su Jiayi had always taken care of her face. She wouldn't ever have let as much as a pimple tarnish it. But now that, in the bathroom when she saw the sorry state in which her face was, she felt like killing someone. She splashed water onto her face. She didn't care how cold the water was. Tears were brimming in her eyes. She looked up and stared into her reflection. "Jing Lihua, you are going to regret this!" Her voice was immersed with deep resentment. Tears rolled down her bloodshot eyes.

She quickly dialed a number. Her breathing was shallow and faster from all the hate and anger. "I want you to do it, right now! I am not going to wait anymore! I want to see her destroyed!" She screamed over the line.

The person on the other side apparently agreed. Because, the next second, a smile appeared on Su Jiayi's lips. "Jing Lihua." She said that name. Her eyes flashed with something. "If I don't have you regretting ever crossing me then I'm not Su Jiayi."

...

Li Zhiqiang had been waiting when Jing Lihua appeared at his apartment. "Huh? How long had you been waiting? Did you say you were in an important meeting?"

"And I also said nothing is more important than you." Li Zhiqiang sounded grumpy.

"You didn't just call off the meeting because of me, did you?" Jing Lihua had given up on being surprised at his antics.

"What do you think?" li Zhiqiang shrugged.

Jing Lihua sighed, "You did." She would have berated him or objected at the least. But she knew it was no us. This man, he was crazy. There was no saving him.

She could only sigh for all those in her heart who had been preparing the proposals for the meeting for God knows how long.

"Let's forget about it. Where is my kiss?" Li Ziqiang grinned and walked to her.

"What 'kiss'?" Jing Lihua stepped back.

"A kiss we had decided to give each other whenever we met after a long time." Li Zhiqiang continued to corner her.

"I decal recall deciding anything like this with you."

"Doesn't matter. Let's start it from right now." Li Zhiqiang was inches away from her when the white cat snarled suddenly. He stopped.

Jing Lihua was surprised. She rose te cat in her arms. "You know what I am loving you more and more." She laughed at Li Zhiqiang. "Be like this. Whenever this man tries to assault me, shoo him away and protect me." Jing Lihua cuddled with the cat. The cat mewed in satisfaction.

Li Zhiqiang felt a faint ache in his heart. "I was the one brought her to you." He complained.

"For that, I am very grateful to you." Jing Lihua laughed at his childish behavior.

"This is not right. I should be the one in your arms right now and not that cat!" Li Zhiqiang glared at the cat. To his surprise, the cat returned his glare with a snarl. Li Zhiqiang was speechless. After a second, he glared at the cat harder. This time, the cat resorted to a different tactic. Instead of snarling back, she shrank in Jing Lihua arms assuming a pitiful look and mewed quietly as if she was being bullied.

"Don't scare her!" Jing Lihua secured the cat in her arms protectively. She stared at Li Zhiqiang with incredulity in her eyes. "She is just a little kitten. Why would you look at her like that? What did she ever do to you!?" Jing Lihua felt truly bad for her kitten. Especially after the cat had stood up for her against Su Jiayi, Jing Lihua felt closer to her.

Li Zhiqiang: "..." He felt helpless. How was he supposed to tell her that the shrewd cat was only using her cuteness to win her pity against him?

At his silence, the cat mewed at him smugly. That little bit*h!

"You are such a kid." Jing Lihua shook her head after seeing his expressions. She couldn't believe the man in front of her was that rumored formidable President Li. She sighed, leaned in and kissed his cheek.
