Junxie Li was actually waiting to see if she entered. As soon as Theresa Mo opened the door to peep in, she was suddenly pulled by the wrist and heard Junxie laughing out loud.
He pulled her and brought her under the shower. Theresa Mo struggled to free from his grip but then he started the shower and Theresa became wet.
"Junxie you are a jerk" Theresa Mo cursed but soon started laughing as well. Junxie was already done bathing and a towel was around his waist.
Theresa's clothes got wet and she had no option than to remain under the shower. "Take a good bath after all you are just coming from the hospital" Junxie Li teased and was going to walk out.
"Who asked for your help?" Theresa Mo asked, spewing water out of her mouth. She wiped the water from her face and looked at the retreating back of Junxie.
"I'm being nice and you are not complimenting me?" Junxie Li replied and went out. He dried his hair and creamed it.
By the time Theresa was done, she had no towel on. She peeped out, "Junxie, towel please" she demanded.
Junxie took a towel from its stand and handed it over to her. She tied it over her chest before walking out with wet hair.
"Junxie, your parents are waiting downstairs, please go and join them. Hear them out and make your decision"Theresa was coaxing and drying her hair.
Junxie Li stood before the mirror. He was looking at the wound which looked like it was shrinking. He hates having scar on his body.
If the injury leaves a scar behind, he would go for surgical removal or get a strong ointment to completely erase it.
Theresa turned to look at him. Since he didn't answer her, she wanted to see what he was doing.
She was stunned by his good body. His chest was broad with a narrow waist and well abdominal muscles. He wore a white tight waistband visible under the jeans he wore.
She glanced at him and her eyes lingered on him. She admired his body and quickly looked away. She swallowed a ball of saliva and didn't dare to look at him again.
"Junxie please.." She was going to start coaxing him again when Junxie turned to look at her sharply. "I am not so weak in my willpower that you can persuade me. I am not going downstairs to meet anyone"He snapped at her.
Just then a knock was heard. The door slowly opened and Carol Li stepped in. She saw her son undressed and Theresa Mo still with a towel.
"Mum, I like privacy and you know it. You can walk into my bedroom when you know I am not alone" Junxie spoke rashly.
Theresa Mo felt embarrassed. The way they both appear, it might give an impression that would make one think something else.
"Sorry Jun. The Zu's are here already and we haven't explained things to you. I had to plead with you to let things be and come downstairs to see them" Carol Li replied.
There was a tone of pleading in her words. She looked like someone who was begging.
"It's nice that they are here. But I have to tell you mum, that I will do whatever I want and none of you can interfere with my decision.
Let dad know that too. I don't like being treated like I am a child who doesn't know his left hand from the right,"Junxie Li replied and turned his back to his mother.
He went to the closet and took a shirt. He returned to his cold aloof looks again. He didn't say another word but started to button his shirt.
"Jun, your dad and I made the right decision. The Zu's family will forever remain derailed and go in a downward spiral because of what they did to you.
You should trust your father's decision. He has always been wise in his decision and this time, it explicitly favors you alone.
Theresa Mo please talk to him. He should just accept their apologies and let them go. It would be too heavy on them if Junxie decides to do otherwise.
They have lost half of their company to Junxie already and he doesn't have to compensate Yolanda for breaking up the engagement…"Carol Li explained.
Theresa Mo wore a short armless gown. Her white beautiful legs looked attractive and alluring.
But what can they say or do now? Brian had made them lose their voices. They have to resign to fate in order to protect their reputation.
It's been days since Lu Jingli and Tiana Mo last interacted with each other as a couple. That afternoon, Tiana Mo invited her husband for lunch.
Lu Jingli said he was busy and couldn't attend. Tiana Mo said she would be waiting for him. If he couldn't make it to her for lunch, she would remain there until dinner time.
At the time, he must have closed from work. She was sincere. That's exactly what she would do, waiting forever till he shows up.
Lu Jingli felt remorseful and decided to meet her for lunch. Tiana Mo was surprised when she saw her hubby honoured her invitation.
That implies he still got a place in his heart for her. He still cares about her. She only wishes there's no third party of Theresa Mo in their relationship.
Life would have been filled with happiness for them while they keep trying to have a kid of their own.
She smiled when Lu Jingli took a seat. He saw her smiling and maintaining a cool expressionless face.
The waiter came and took their orders. Without saying anything to each other, silently they had their lunch.
Tiana soon finished the meal and drank a glass of wine. She waited until Lu Jingli had his fill.
" Is there anything you want to discuss with me?" Lu Jingli asked. Tiana inviting him out for lunch definitely has a string attached.
Tiana Mo nodded. She felt happy that he could guess her thoughts. He knew she had a reason for asking him out for lunch.
"I want to talk about us. I asked that you give me a few minutes of your time. It's going to be brief…" Tiana Mo pleaded.
