Chapter 19: Ex-boyfriend

After working for hours, Tang Li sat there in silence as she wondered how her life has taken a turn for the better.

She recalled how, just before three days, sitting on the seashore, she concluded that there is nothing called 'bliss'. But now her life was filled with bliss and contentment.

Sometimes the dreams that come true are the dreams you never even knew you had.

Having Mo Yuhan in her life was maybe such a dream to her. Having him with her filled the emptiness inside her heart.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she said.

A certain pufferfish entered inside, jumping and hopping. "My dear sister-in-law, tell me when are you going to tell big bro about yourself?" he asked.

Tang Li frowned, it was yet another trouble she invited on herself. She decided to hide her identity earlier yet she was the one feeling guilty now. But she didn't know how to say it verbally at this moment. "The day after tomorrow we have a collaboration meeting for DX and both the CEOs will be there," she said. It would be better that way, he will know it and she won't have to say anything.

Mo Zihan smiled and nodded his head but before he could say anything, a shrill succession of rings interrupted him.

Tang Li glanced at her phone, it was an unknown number and just as she answered it, she heard a familiar voice "Baby, why are you ignoring me. Please come back to me. I will never cheat you...."

Before the man could complete his sentence, Tang Li hung up on him as her face turned sour.

"What happened? Who was that?" Mo Zihan, who noticed the shift in her expression immediately asked.

She sighed "An idiotic Vice President who happens to be my ex-boyfriend too. I just dated him to appease grandpa at that moment. Later, when I saw him fooling around with different women, I found the perfect opportunity and broke up with him. But he is clingy."

Mo Zihan laughed as he asked, "Does he know who you are?"

Tang Li shook her head. Why would she expose her identity to random people?!

"Then, it's good. Who knows if he will come here to cause a ruckus? By the way, you mentioned he is a V.P?" Mo Zihan asked curiously.

She nodded her head, "Yes, he is the V.P of Su Corps."

Mo Zihan opened his mouth and closed it, unable to utter a word. He looked at Tang Li in disbelief and finally asked "Do you mean....that your ex is...Su Feng?"

"Yes. How do you know that?"

Mo Zihan looked at her like looking at an alien, "Not every person is like you who won't recognize big brother, you know?!" In the current era, where will you find a person who ignores television and magazines like viruses? She won't even want to know about the gossips of the wealthy families. It would have been a wonder if she recognized his brother.

As for him, he joined Ash Corporations years ago and purposely hid his identity. At that time, Tang Li was too inexperienced to run a background check on him. Since he was qualified for it, he got the position of V.P. But Tang Li still belonged to the family of foxes, he almost got exposed a few times.

"My mom is the sole heiress of Su Corps and she is the current CEO. And Su Feng is the son of mom's distant cousin," he said.

Tang Li frowned, "Why didn't you work at Mo Empires?"

"Because mom wants me to take over the legacy of Su Corps but I was not ready at that time. I never wanted to be recognized just because I am a 'Mo'."

"I think you should stop running away now and give it a try."

She wanted to keep her pufferfish always by her side as he V.P because she knew that she will never get anyone more capable for the position. But she also knew that he was overqualified to be a V.P. He has all the legit qualities of a CEO in himself.

A certain pufferfish squealed as he replied "Yes, I will think about it. But, Kara, what are you going to do about Su Feng? He is a good friend of big bro."

She looked at him as she answered in a nonchalant tone "I'll tell your brother about it, today. There is nothing else to do about as I never had anything to do with that clingy man."

"Ok, Goddess!" With that, he turned around and left.

Tang Li sat there in silence as she thought about certain things before she got up from her seat and walked towards her car.

After getting in the car, she informed the driver to take her to the villa she decided to call her grandpa since it has been three days and the old man must be worried about her. The call was connected within two rings.

"Grandpa, How are you?" she softly asked.

"I am all good, sweetie! I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Grandpa, I also wanted to tell you about something but not today. I will meet you this weekend."

"Okay, we'll discuss it later on," replied the old man.

After talking a little with the old man, she hung up as the car pulled off in front of the Grace Villa. She couldn't help but admire its lavishness.

She quickly went to the kitchen and prepared to make a nice dinner for Mo Yuhan.

She was quite nervous regarding Su Feng as she didn't want their newly formed relationship to develop any misunderstandings.

She snapped out of her thoughts when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and what captured her attention the moment she looked at him was that pair of blue-eyes.

Without saying anything, she wrapped her arms around his neck. From the vibes surrounding her, Mo Yuhan already got a feeling that something was wrong with his little woman.

But, instead of asking her, he hugged her back and stroked the tresses of her hair. She broke the hug and looked into his eyes, "Go, wash up. I have prepared dinner for you."

But her hazel expressed something more than the words she spoke. Mo Yuhan nodded his head as he walked upstairs.

...

He first pulled a chair for her like a gentleman that he was before sitting.

Tang Li broke the silence as she asked, "How was your day?"

"It was quite tiring until I reached home and saw my wife," The man nonchalantly said but why did his words sound so... romantic?

Her lips tilted up in a beautiful smile as her hazel eyes turned into crescents. She looked at him and said "You are such a sweet talker," she hesitated a bit before continuing, "Err... I have something to tell you."

"Yes?" his heart fluttered at the sight of her smile.

"I want to tell you about my ex-boyfriend."

The man just looked at her straight as if he could see through her heart "I trust my wife; you shouldn't be so tensed over something that doesn't exist."

He was not a talkative person but his every sentence was right up to the point. What he meant to say was she was now his wife and he trusted her. Moreover, her ex was a part of her past so he didn't want to see her getting worried about something that didn't exist.

She bit her lips slightly. 'You're indeed the best I could wish for,' she thought ti herself.

Mo Yuhan has never regretted marrying her and he never will. He will give her a life full of happiness.

Having someone who can handle all your moods is indeed a blessing. And that someone in Tang Li's life was none other than Mo Yuhan. All her anxiety disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She promised herself that she will always stay beside him. Yes, she is crazy as hell sometimes and she gets over-protective but so what? She will never glance twice at a person whom she didn't care about.

She was as cold as a forgotten snowflake but he magically ignited her heart!

Mo Yuhan is the one for her. The one with whom she wanted to stay till eternity.

...

Since Tang Li finished her work before 6:00 pm so she decided to go to Mo Empires and give Mo Yuhan a pleasant surprise.

She informed Mo Zihan about it and he gave her a VIP card so that she can go directly to the CEO's office by using the private elevator. She was quite excited because this will probably be her first time going to Mo Empires.

Little did she know that the day was bound to be an irritating one for her!
