Chapter 119 - I'm married to someone else perhaps.

Madame Bao very affectionately guided Jing Lihua to the table and made her sit beside her. She treated her like a delicate doll. "Wait. Is it where you went last night?" Jing Lihua suddenly asked. Of course, what else could make the great 'Devil' anxious other than the mother of the 'Devil' herself? That was the reason he couldn't accept her call!

Jing Lihua was looking at Li Zhiqiang with expectant eyes hoping for an answer. Li Zhiqiang had just raised his head a little bit of a tiny fraction when Madame Bao's solemn voice came. "Did I allow you to look up?" Her voice was so icy that it made Jing Lihua almost jump. Li Zhiqiang immediately ducked down his head like an obedient puppy.

Woah! The great 'Devil', did he just admit defeat without even a fight?!

The woman who was talking to her with such affectionate tune just a second ago could talk in such an intimidating manner?! Jing Lihua was shocked.

Such a contrast. Now she understood what Li Zhqiaing and Li Xun resentment about. "Madame Bao, you are amazing!" Jing Lihua gave her a double thumbs-up. She didn't care if the Li brothers were feeling resentment towards her. Jing Lihua giggled mischievously. To see Li Zhiqiang like this was so fun. Finally, she could get back at him for torturing her for days like that.

At least, her long-awaited, sweet revenge!

"Silly child, don't call me Madame Bao. You don't have to be formal. Just call me Mother." When Madame Bao looked back at Jing Lihua, her eyes immediately softened like warm butter. One could easily melt into them.

"Okay, I'll call you mother." Jing Lihua was very obedient. She seemed to be enjoying her special treatment. "Why are your sons being punished?" Her grin was wide and mischievous, intentionally taunting Li Zhiqiang. She could sense Li Zhiqiang aura was getting darker and darker by the moment clearly telling 'You better stop or I'll make you regret this. I'll get back to you one day. And It will be soon'

Jing Lihua laughed internally. 'You can get back at me all you want later but right now you can't do anything. Right now the bigger 'Devil' is standing beside me!'

"Don't mind these stupid kids. We should enjoy ourselves. We have so much to catch up on. Xiao Jing, this restaurant is famous for its seafood. I have already asked them to prepare the best Tuna rolls the restaurant has to offer. Should I ask them to make it spicy for you? I remember you used to love spicy food." Madame Bao was all lovey-dovey over Jing Lihua.

"Mother knows me best!" Jing Lihua eagerly chirped. "But Mother isn't it feeling weird having these two duck down their heads like this? Li Zhiqiang is not looking well. It looks like he is angry at me for some reason. What should I do mother? Does it have anything to do with me? Did I do anything wrong?" Jing Lihua made perfect puppy eyes looking like a scared and bullied kitten.

Her acting made both Li Xun and Li Zhiqiang almost vomit blood.

"How would he dare to be angry at you?" Madame Bao gave him a threatening glare before turning back to Jig Lihua with an affectionate smile. "If he ever dares as much as to glare at you, just give me a call. I'll be right there for you and straighten him in no time."

The dark aura around Li Zhiqiang completely dissipated with helplessness. If not for Madame Bao, Jing Lihua would have been laughing and rolling over the ground by now. To see the great 'Devil' in such a position, she couldn't help herself.

God. It must have the good karma from her previous life that brought this joyful day to her.

The food was served in no time. Jing Lihua chewed as the delicious sushi while Li Zhqiaing and Li Xun weren't allowed to touch the food. Li Xun was practically drolling and Jing Lihua couldn't help but pity him. 'I'll treat you someday to compensate' She thought inwardly. Li Xun was innocent. Always caught up in middle because of his brother.

"You do not need to fear Xiao Jing. Li Zhiqiang had told me everything about your injury and selective insomnia. You couldn't be blamed for what happened. But those two!" Madame Bao made sure to send her glares at them at regular intervals. "Those two didn't even care about telling me? How could they be so irresponsible knowing very well you are the one and only one who is to be my daughter-in-law."

Jing Lihua almost spat everything in her mouth. "Cough... Cough..." This was going in the wrong direction.

"You are as careless as before." Madame Bao sighed helplessly like a tired mother. "Be patient while eating. No one is stealing your food."

"W-What did you mean by daughter-in-law?" Jing Lihua's voice was feeble. She looked scared.

"Of course, ever since the day Li Zhiqiang brought you home the first time, I knew you were destined to be my daughter-in-law." Madame Bai said this as a matter of fact. "In fact, this is why I ave invited you here. We shall discuss the marriage details as soon as possible. These things shouldn't be left on kids. They always mess up. So here are my plans. I'm planning to have a big party in Hong Kong for your engagement. You wouldn't mind, right? I would arrange for all your relatives and friends stay in Hong Kong so it shouldn't be inconvenient."

Looked like Madame Bao still didn't know. Jing Lihua gulped and looked in Li Zhiqiang's direction silently asking for help. But she could see a satisfied look on his face that clearly said. 'Serves you right'

Jing Lihua was hopeless.

"What do you say, Xiao Jing? If Hong Kong is too inconvenient, then we could always choose Beijing. But let me tell you, after your engagement, I want you two to get married within two months and give this old lady some grandchildren as soon as possible. After the marriage, I have selected a few places for your honeymoon. So you wouldn't be disturbed by all the guests and media. By that time, Li Xun would support the office so Li Zhiqiang can have some free time with you." Madame Bao continued to chatter.

"Um... Mother, there seems to be a little problem." Jing Lihua coughed. "We might need to delay this marriage thing."

"Huh? Why?."

"Because I'm... perhaps... married to someone else?" Jing Lihua tried to smile but failed.
