บท 30: Love Mommy the most.

Wan Jia dropped the glass of water she was holding.

"What?" Lu Aotian gave her a I-warned-you look.

"You're lying, right?"

"What would I gain from lying to you?"

"Mo Zilian is really the CEO's daughter? " Lu Aotian nodded. "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked." Wan Jia massaged her temples. "Wanwan, I told you not to go there. She'll obviously make things difficult for you but you..." Lu Aotian really didn't know how to deal with this stubborn brat of his.

"Just cancel the contract now before it's too late. I'll help you pay the compensation fees."

Help me pay the compensation fees...why would he help me?Unles..., she mumbled under her breath. Then she gave him a sharp look.

"Just say it directly if you're trying to get me into your bed!" She snarled.

"Who's trying to get you into bed?" He knitted his eyebrows.

"Why would you help me? What do you want...how will you want me to repay you?"

Lu Aotian looked at her coldly. Could this brat not have such dirty thoughts? Did she take him for that type of man? While he indeed wanted her in his bed, he couldn't do such a disrespectful thing as take advantage of her vulnerability!

Was this supposed to mean that since Mr. Baker helped her then...

Lu Aotian suddenly lost his cool. He banged his laptop shut and stormed out of the study room.

Wan Jia knew he was truly angry. Even when they were married, he never got angry with her no matter what she did or said. She could swear that this was the first time he had ever flipped out on her.

She shrugged her shoulders and went to look for him. As expected, he was on the balcony of the third floor gazing at the stars. This was where he always went to cool off his emotions.

Lu Aotian heard footsteps behind him and knew immediately who the intruder was.

"What do you want now?" he asked without turning.

Wan Jia said nothing and just went and stood beside him, putting one hand on the railing and looking at him. She waited till he was no longer too angry before choosing her words carefully.

"I'm sorry." He didn't speak. "I didn't mean what I said, I just thought...I..." Wan Jia was not good with apologies. Apart from saying she was sorry, she just couldn't explain herself. She drooped her head pitifuly.

Lu Aotian turned and looked at her. His heart softened at her pitiful demeanor. He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes.

"Wanwan, I would never force you to do anything you don't want to." His meaning was clear. No matter how much he loved her, missed the old times and wished for them to be together again, he wouldn't ever use such tricks to get to her. He was just helping her because he wanted to, not because he expected anything in return.

Wan Jia couldn't stop her eyes from tearing. Without thinking, she flung herself into his arms and before Lu Aotian could react, she ran the way into her room leaving behing a stunned Lu Aotian. Did Wanwan just...hug him?

The next morning.

Wan Jia was supposed to go to Mondial Studios by 10 am but Little Jia was clinging onto her neck and refusing to let go. Thus she used the chance to ask. "Who does Little Jia love the most, Mommy or Daddy?"

"Of course Little Jia loves Mommy the most!" She pursed her cute lips and gave Wan Jia a kiss on her cheek.

"Then Little Jia prefers to be with Mommy, eh?"

"Mommy, Little Jia wants to be with Mommy forever!" she declared in her baby voice. then continued. "If Mommy ever leaves Little Jia again, Little Jia will die of heartbreak." She held onto her little chest with her cute little hand and feigned heartbreak. She even rubbed non-existent tears from her eyes.

How realistic.... would she be an actress in future?

"Mommy will never leave Little Jia." She hugged her baby tightly.

"Really Mommy? Pinky promise?" she stuck out her tiny pinky finger.

"Mmh pinky promise." Wan Jia stuck out her pinky and crossed it with hers.

"Mommy is the best! I love you Mommy. Love for a thousand years."

"And so Daddy is no more?" Lu Aotian, who had been banished into the cold palace came downstairs looking unhappy.

"Daddy!" The little girl ran up to him and lifted her hands for a hug. She very fairly kissed her father's cheek. "Little Jia loves Daddy too."

Too? Shouldn't girls love their fathers more?

she blinked then quicky added, afraid her mother would be jealous.

"But Daddy said that girls should get more love. So Little Jia loves Mommy the most!" She broke into a sweet smile.

Lu Aotian "...." was it too late to take that back?

He was unhappy with this whole matter.

To be exact, he was not unhappy that Little Jia loved her mother, in fact he was happy for them. But what was she doing, asking the little girl who she prefered and who she could do without? He had a certain thought. Could it be...

Maybe he made a wrong decision in allowing them to be close?

"I want precise details of everyone who has been in contact with Wan Jia since she came back." He roared on phone as soon as Wan Jia left.

"E...everyone?" The assistant was shocked. What kind of task is this, my dear president?

"Do I need to repeat myself?" He was losing his temper.

"No! Right away president."

"I want them by evening." He hung up.

Assistant "...." Evening? What did they serve the president for breakfast today?
