Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 48 You Have My Permission

Lu Zixi took Li Qianluo to the hospital, where her wounds on the left sole were dressed. Luckily it was not that bad. Just few glass shards got stuck in it.

"Where do you live now? I'll send you home."

Lu Zixi helped Li Qianluo put on a helmet, and got on his motorcycle.

"I...Well, Yuanming Manor!" They were not too far away from Yuanming Manor now, so maybe she would better make do with staying there for the night.

When they arrived at Yuanming Manor, Lu Zixi parked his motocycle and got off first.

Then he carried Li Qianluo off. Just when he was about to carry her towards the villa, a luxury car with dazzling lights stopped there.

It was Si Jinheng's Maybach. Li Qianluo was confused until she saw Mo Yawei get out of the car.

When Si Jinheng noticed Li Qianluo in Lu Zixi's arms, his eyes flashed with anger.

Nobody talked but looked at each other in embarrassment.

Did he stay here with that woman last night?

Li Qianluo jumped off Lu Zixi, and hobbled to the car.

"It's my husband's house. Who gave you the right to live here?" Li Qianluo asked her ruthlessly. Mo Yawei was a superstar at the top, but so what?

Growing up like a princess, Mo Yawei had never been questioned like that in her life. Li Qianluo was the first one to challenge her!

Mo Yawei masked her sneer, and answered in a gentle voice, "I used to stay here when I was in D City before. There was a room for me in it."

"As you said, that was BEFORE. Now Si Jinheng is already married. As his ex-girlfriend or ex-fiancee, don't you think it's not very appropriate?" Li Qianluo's criticism seemd to have gone a bit too far for her.

"Qianluo, she just needs to stay here for few nights." Si Jinheng walked towards her. What happened to her feet?

"Just a few nights?" Li Qianluo took the Black Card Si Jinheng gave her from the purse, and passed it to Mo Yawei. "Here you go. Please try to behave more appropriately. My husband will pay for your hotel. Yes, you have my permission. Get a presidential suite or something. Now please go."

Staring at the card before her, Mo Yawei clenched her fists, with humiliation that she had never experienced. Li Qianluo. Tit for tat. That day will come.

"Heng, do I really have to leave?" Mo Yawei didn't respond to Li Qianluo. Instead, she turned to the man, her eyes watering.

"My wife is the boss." Si Jinheng didn't even look at Mo Yawei. After noticing Li Qianluo's injured foot, he carried her into the car.

"Thanks for sending my wife home!" Si Jinheng nodded to Lu Zixi.

Lu Zixi responded with a nod politely. As soon as he realized that Si Jinheng would look after Li Qianluo, he left.

"Miss Mo, do you need my husband to make a reservation for you?" Li Qianluo rolled the window down and smiled to the woman who was in a trance outside.

"No, I'll do it myself." Though Mo Yawei was actually terribly outraged, she managed to answer Li Qianluo with a perfect smile.

"Good night!" Si Jinheng said gently. Then he drove away with Li Qianluo, going back to Pearl Spring.

As the Maybach left, Mo Yawei's smile collapsed. Her fist were clenched. Her face was slightly distorted in anger. Li Qianluo! Who do you think you are? You'll see, you are an over-confident little thing.

Maybach was speeding along the road. In an awkward atmosphere, Li Qianluo closed her eyes and decided to remain silent.

"Are you angry?" Si Jinheng took a look at his lovely wife who was pretending to be asleep.

Si Jinheng wasn't bothered by her silence, and asked again, "What happened to your foot?"

His concern touched off her anger at once. "My husband, where were you when I needed you most? I called you but you didn't answer. Do you even know how I made it back? It was so remote and so dark. I could have died! When I was desperately afraid, where were you? Having fun with your ex-girlfriend?"

Bombed by Li Qianluo's anger, Si Jinheng felt quite innocent, and took his phone out of pocket. It was powered off. How come it was powered off all of a sudden?

"Hush, my love. It's all my fault! Does your foot hurt? Is it bad?" Si Jinheng set aside his coldness, and comforted his childlike wife.

"I'm dying of haemorrhage!" Li Qianluo wanted to scare him in a fit of pique.

But instead, Si Jinheng was amused. He shook his head and smiled slightly, "Except for surgery, haemorrhage only happens during childbearing."

... Li Qianluo blushed, but still didn't want to give in. She argued, "Who told you so? I am having haemorrhage on my foot just now!" She looked away as she didn't want to see his face, nor did she want him to see her.

"Well, absolutely. It's haemorrhage. How about having some hotpot to make up for the blood lost?" He didn't take her to hotpot as she wished last night, so he would make it up for her tonight.

Invitation to hotpot did help Li Qianluo cool down. She turned back to him. "Really? Are you sure?" She looked at him in doubt. He kept driving and his usual arrogance on the face was gone, replaced by intriguing tenderness.

"Certainly! Hey, you are drooling. Are you drooling over my handsomeness?" Si Jinheng noticed Li Qianluo's obsessed look, and in a good mood, he teased her.

"No, I'm not! You are lying! Hotpot twice. Your treat!" Li Qianluo cried. She touched her corner of mouth and realized that she was teased for fun.

Si Jinheng enjoyed her childish reaction.

At Li Qianluo's suggestion, Si Jinheng took her to the hotpot restaurant she frequented. She used to go there with Fu Xinru and Qi Zeming, but so much had changed. Anyway, it was fun to have hotpot with a CEO like Si Jinheng.

Li Qianluo enjoyed the food as joyfully as she could, while Si Jinheng only tried those Li Qianluo picked up for him, still not used to this kind of food.

His imposing manner and handsome appearance drew plenty of attraction. He just sat there and looked at Li Qianluo mildly, not in the least annoyed by her excitement in eating and talking.

Not surprisingly, they didn't notice the couple - Qi Zeming and Fu Xinru - at another table.

Jealousy was sprouting in Fu Xinru's heart as Li Qianluo was eating hotpot as happy and carefree as before. What's worse, she was now accompanied by a handsome, rich and powerful husband. She was living a rather good life!

Qi Zeming also noticed Li Qianluo and Si Jinheng, but what he thought about was totally different from Fu Xinru.
