129 Aren't You Jealous?

Si Weimin couldn't help but laugh as he gazed at Xu Jia Li. His eyes almost betrayed him as they sparkled in joy. Her reaction brought undeniable entertainment to him. It was really amusing.

In truth, he wasn't that petty to forbid her from going out with whomever she saw fit. He trusted her too much to be that shallow. Even if he would feel so much jealousy, he would never forbid her from whatever she wanted to do.

He was actually in the middle of a meeting when Xu Jia Li requested a video call. Since he missed her so much, he immediately stopped the meeting. Nothing mattered except her.

After they talked, he went straight to his office to check some documents. Then, he received a call from an unregistered number.

"Okay, Ms. Vicious- Tongue Xu. First, I'm not that shallow to be jealous if my girlfriend wants to go out on a friendly dinner. You're my girlfriend. I trust you enough to not dwell on petty things," Si Weimin chuckled when he saw the changes in her reaction.

"Second, I'm not telling anyone to follow you just so I'll know what you're up to. That's just not me," He raised his right brow when he saw her pout her lips.

"I told you not to pout your lips…" he reminded before he grinned, "Unless you want me to do what I said earlier."

"Why are you so annoying lately?"

"Am I?" He wore an amused look on his face.

"Okay. Okay! If that's the case, then why are you here? If you know that I wouldn't be here, why come here, huh?"

"I really love that pout on your lips… say… can I kiss –"

He didn't finish his words when Xu Jia Li threw a soft cushion pillow on him before her hands covered his mouth.

"I told you to stop being annoying!"

His naughtiness got the best of him when he put his hands on Xu Jia Li's waist. He was about to tickle her when she immediately fled away, "I didn't know you're too cowardly. Ha ha ha!"

"Pft! What did you eat? Your arrogance reaches a different level now."

He laughed out loud as he sat on the couch, "I really didn't know that you'll be home soon. I just received a call from your assistant."

"Shen Linqin called you?"

He nodded before he continued, "She told me that you were supposed to have dinner with Mr. Li but suddenly, you're not feeling well and that you went home alone."

"How did she know your number?"

"She asked Wang Guo. Smart girl…"

He was really glad that Shen Linqin informed him. He was really worried when he left the company and headed straight to her apartment. He was afraid that no one would attend to her needs since Shen Linqin told him that Xu Jia Li asked her to proceed with the dinner.

He couldn't help but shake his head from his girlfriend's stubbornness. Why would she allow her assistant to go ahead while she wasn't feeling well?

"I didn't agree going out with Yun-ge."

"Because." Xu Jia Li rolled her eyes at him.

"Ha ha ha!" he couldn't help but laugh at her before he asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm not actually sick." Xu Jia Li bit down her lower lip, feeling a bit sorry for lying.

"I can be sure of that now," he grinned.

"How did that get here?" Xu Jia Li's eyes bulged upon seeing the flowers given by Li Yun.

Looking at where Xu Jia Li was pointing, he said, "I took them inside." Earlier when he arrived, he saw the two bouquets outside her apartment door, so he took them inside. In truth, he wanted to smash the flowers when he saw Li Yun's name on the card. However, it wasn't his to begin with.

.

"B-but… I-I d-didn't…"

Seeing Xu Jia Li's troubled expression, he pretended to scold her, "Why? Are you supposed to hide Li Yun's bouquet?"

"N-no! I m-mean, w-well…"

Si Weimin laughed when he saw the contrite look on her face. He walked towards her and hugged her tightly. He whispered gently in her ear, "It's okay, love. They can give you all the things that they want. It will never change the fact that you're already mine. Anyway, they can never beat me. I can always step up my game."

"Aren't you jealous? Even for a bit?"

"I'll be a hypocrite if I say I didn't feel even a slight jealousy. I'm a man, after all. In fact, I want to go and break that man's face right now."

"Then, how did you handle it so well? Well, it's not like there's something to be jealous of. Yun-ge knows that I only see him as my brother. And I really didn't –"

"Because my heart chose to trust you."

****

Xu Jia Li didn't know why, but her heart swelled with so much joy. Si Weimin trusted her and that showed a lot about his character, and the love he had for her.

She hugged him, without saying anything. She could hear the beating of his heart. It felt so intimate, being able to hear his heart. Sometimes, she asked herself what she did to deserve such a wonderful man.

From the first time they saw each other on Xhuan Jin Province, his memories were deeply instilled in her heart and mind. How could she be so lucky? Of all the beautiful women he could get, he still chose to love her? He loved her… all those years…

There were times that she's battling with her inner demons, and kept thinking what she would do if Si Weimin had a change of heart? She shuddered at the thought. She loved him too much to bear losing him.

"Thank you for loving me… honey… but I really didn't accept the flowers. Maybe it's Linqin who sent the bouquet here. Even if you won't get mad, I care about what you would think."

Feeling Si Weimin's strong arms around her, she felt complete.

Their sweet moment was disrupted by a sudden knock on the door. She was about to go when Si Weimin asked her to just sit on the couch.

Then, she was surprised to see Wang Guo walking behind Si Weimin, "Assistant Wang, why are you here?"

"Good evening, young madam. I brought the food and medicine asked by CEO Si," Wang Guo raised the paper bags on his hands.

She looked at Si Weimin before she returned her gaze at Wang Guo, "Thank you, Assistant Wang."

"You're welcome, young madam"

She was about to take the paper bags from Wang Guo when Si Weimin beat her to it. All she could do was follow behind him while he put the paper bags on the kitchen.

"Tell Assistant Wang to stay for dinner. It's too much. We can't eat them all."

"Okay."
