Chapter 113 - His Eyes Widened

Hua Jiefeng scanned the luxurious room with admiration and looked outside the huge glass windows.

It would be the first time he would meet Wu Lina. He was excited. Was she as beautiful as the tabloids suggested? He wanted to see the woman who had captured the heart of the Demonic King of Business.

As he was thinking about how she would look like, Wu Lina entered the room. He was mesmerized. She looked so youthful and so attractive. She looked like a teenager in her high school but only more gorgeous. He was captivated by her charm. His eyes widened and his mouth made a shape of 'O'.

She was wearing a light yellow sheath dress. It fitted her curves in a way that her hourglass body was highlighted. The neckline was plunging, slightly revealing some of the upper part of her mounds. When she walked towards him, they bounced a little, creating a wave of s.e.xiness towards his way.

Hua Jiefeng forgot to breathe. His wife paled in her comparison and he became jealous of Yang Xinyu for having a beautiful woman like her. In the few seconds that he was admiring her, he schemed hundreds of ways to pull them apart and make her his!

'If only I had met her earlier…' he thought, knowing that it was impossible to do that.

"Good afternoon… Ms. Wu… Lina…" he found his voice after little pauses here and there.

"Good afternoonm Mr. Hua. Yang Xinyu told me that you would be handling the case," she politely queried.

Her mellifluous voice caught his attention. He thought he could never work in her presence, let alone talk. He tried to concentrate on what she was saying but he was really distracted.

"He told me that the contract is null and void. In that case, why has Mrs. Yang filed the suit against me?" she asked in quite a confused manner.

Hua Jiefeng was staring at her - actually ogling her! He hadn't listened to a word she said.

"When are you marrying him…?" he asked her wondering if there was enough time to woo her. Would she accept him now that he was a father of a four-year old girl?

Wu Lina thought that this was an important question that was linked to the case and required an answer.

"I don't know…" she truly didn't know.

"But I need to know!" he squealed like a mouse.

"Uhh… why?" she asked fluttering her eyelashes and tilting her head slightly.

Why? WHY?

He coughed and said, "It's important for the case Ms. Wu Lina."

"Okay… I will ask Xinyu and let you know…" she replied slowly.

"No, no! You don't have to ask CEO Yang," he said almost petrified.

Yang Xinyu's name sent shivers down his spine. CEO Yang would ask his men to burn his body and bury it without a trace if he came to know that he had asked such a ridiculous question!

But Wu Lina had captured a part of Jiefeng's heart. He assured her that no matter what the case would be resolved and she wouldn't have to appear in the court personally. He took her signatures on a few doc.u.ments. Wu Lina offered him to have tea when he was leaving. How could he let the offer go? His feet got glued to the carpet and he sat nodding his head in appreciation. Now, he could spend more time with Wu Lina.

Even though he thought that Yang Xinyu was a very handsome man, he paled in front of his future wife. No wonder the CEO was so possessive about her. How come he never met her in the office? He cursed himself for missing out on her.

Wu Lina instructed Mrs. Jiao to make ginger tea for both of them.

There was an awkward silence but Wu Lina asked about his profession, which opened him and he started talking. Tea was served in ten minutes and they talked for another fifteen minutes. There was silence again.

Hua Jiefeng left reluctantly saying, "Please don't worry. I will be there. You can call me anytime even if it is in the middle of the night!"

Wu Lina had heard that line earlier but she didn't remember it though…

She bade him goodbye with a faint smile.

In the car, Hua Jiefeng couldn't help thinking about Wu Lina. He wondered if Wu Lina would take a shot at the film industry because she could become a lead actress because of her beauty. His imagination ran wild but he had to restrain himself. So, he called his wife and talked to her all the way until he reached the office.

Feeling better, he entered his office and started working on the case.

He wanted to settle the matter before they went for the hearing so he coaxed Yang Xinyu to let him arrange a meeting between the plaintiff and the defendant.

"CEO Yang, if we arrange a meeting now, we would avoid any media speculation," requested Hua Jiefeng. He really didn't want the beautiful Wu Lina to go to the court even for a moment. He couldn't believe he was so moved by her!

"But I want to see her in the court. She has challenged me!" barked Yang Xinyu.

"I agree," he said rolling his eyes at the ego of CEO Yang. "But would you want Ms. Wu Lina as well to be dragged into it mercilessly?" he continued.

Yang Xinyu calmed upon hearing Wu Lina's name. He scratched his forehead and agreed to Hua Jiefeng's request.

"Thank you sir! I will arrange the meeting as soon as possible!" replied Hua Jiefeng.

Hua Jiefeng sighed and went back to work. He couldn't resist going online and checking Wu Lina's pictures again and again. He wondered if he was actually becoming her fan!
