Chapter 49 - I want you (2/2)

Jing Lihua's eyebrows furrowed. She steadied her heart. Why was she acting like a child? Her focused eyes met his again.

”Which place it is?”

”Sunset Square apartments”

Jing Lihua was shocked. ”Who are you? How did I end up here...” Jing Lihua charged a series of questions. Sunset Apartments was one of the highest prized places in Hong Kong. Only those who belonged to the upper class, on an entirely different level with the wealthiest families, could afford to stand there.

Li Zhiqiang's faint smile became apparent. His eyes cleared. ”We have had our introduction at the hospital before” He squashed his cigar between his fingers and discarded it. ”I found you in the forests, passed out and brought you here. That's how you ended up here”

The man exuded a severe aura. Like he was some nobility. Jing Lihua's heart hammered against her chest. She took a step away. A piercing pain shoot through her leg when she moved. She felt dizzy and lost her balance. She staggered back. At the point when she felt like she would fall, a pair of arms reached out to support her.

Jing Lihua was a strong woman. How could she accept help from a man?

”Don't touch me!” She glared at him and pushed away his hand. Moreover, her heart had still not calmed after waking up in his arms; she didn't want to be touched by that man again.

Li Zhiqiang's eyes revealed amusement.

”Not a nice way to treat someone who helped you, JingJing”

All Jing Lihua heard was... What did he call her? What did he? JingJing? She stared at him; her eyes full of incredulity for a moment. The next moment, anger. If she had glared at him previously then now she glowered.

Li Zhiqiang tried his best not to laugh. Her glare... How could she look so cute when glaring? He wanted to kiss her right then. In fact, having her in his arms the all the time and not being able to do anything had him quite hot and bothered. If not for the fact that she was injured and he was worried about her, he would have made a move for sure.

Just for now, he had to burry his urges. Sooner or later he would have her in his arms. He had already made a decision to stay by her side. He couldn't protect her by keeping her away from him. So from now on, he'll not leave her side.

”I'll have you send the reward for helping me.” She coldly said.

”Reward?” What kind of reward? Li Zhiqiang's eyes looked interested. If it was the reward he wanted...

”Monetary reward” Jing Lihua unknowingly burst his bubble of fantasies.

”I don't want a monetary reward” Li Zhiqiang amusement was becoming more and more apparent. ”I want you”
