Chapter 54 - Hubby, Lets Go Home (1/2)
”What happened here?”
Luna stopped on her tracks and turned around, only to find her husband looking at her. Jasper Mo and his stepmother also stopped and saw President Li striding towards them.
”President Li!” Madam Mo gasped.
Who in this banquet hall hadn't heard of Hero Li and his reputation? He was a ruthless businessman who knew when and how to cut his losses, getting the maximum advantage for his company.
”It's nothing. Nothing happened. Miss Jiang is about to leave. We're just sending her off.” There was an awkward smile at the old woman's face as she tried to glare at Luna's way to move on and fuċk off.
Even Jasper and Aiko were surprised to see the same man they both met back at the hotel. Jasper had met him earlier and found out that he was the President Li that his father was trying to convince and enter a business partnership with them.
Luna was stunned in her spot. Her tears were threatening to burst at any moment; yet seeing her husband standing straight with an annoyed but stern expression, she felt like a savior had come to rescue her.
If this wasn't Hero Li—her husband, then who else could it be?
What transpired earlier was something she was too embarrassed to let him see. She didn't want Hero to know what caused her to run away this early. Yet as every second passed that Hero stared at her, she… Luna felt like she was completely exposed to him.
”Luna? Are you crying?”
His voice was still cold and stern, but there was a subtle softness as he asked Luna. It was as if he was worried that she'd breakdown at any given moment.
Jasper Mo was stunned. He'd never thought that the infamous President Li was acquainted with Luna Jiang. How and when did Luna meet such a man?
However, Luna wasn't planning to stay longer. She gave Hero a helpless smile as she turned around to step inside the elevator, but she didn't expect Hero to stretch his hand and pull her back.
”You…” Luna couldn't understand what Hero wanted. Couldn't he see that she was humiliated enough? She didn't want to stay in this place anymore. Someone like her shouldn't be in this place anyway.
”I can sense your distress, wife.” Hero turned his head down and whispered to her, his manner as if he was almost kissing her.
Although for outsiders it seemed as if it was only because President Li had used too much force, making the woman next to him crash into his ċhėst. However, Luna knew clearly that it wasn't the case.
”I… I don't feel good, President Li. I didn't want to cause trouble for Jasper's family so I was planning to go home this early…” Luna stuttered, and then in a low voice, she added, ”Hubby, let's go home.”
