Chapter 226: The first disagreement

Nana looked at the maid, horrified.

That blackmailer was too devious. He even sent a spy in the Liu villa to keep an eye on her.

But how? Jinhai said that the backgrounds of all the maids and butlers are thoroughly checked. They are clean slate.

So, how can a traitor enter?

The maid sneered, “Don’t try and act smart and just do as my master says. We have also tapped your phone. So, don’t try to send any message to first young master secretly. And my ears are everywhere too. One wrong step and…”

 Nana anxiously said, “What does your master want? Why is he doing all this? Who is he?”

“You don’t need to know.” She saw Jinhai coming and quickly said, “Remember not to go against my master anymore.” And she went away.

Jinhai felt Nana looked a little nervous. “Are you alright? You are sweating.”

“No, it’s a little hot.” She tried to smile.

“Come, let’s go back. You were going to say something, right? About last night?”

She stiffened. “Oh, that. It’s nothing. I just had a nightmare last night, so I was afraid.”

He immediately held her by her waist.

“A nightmare? As long as Liu Jinhai is there with you, I will not let any nightmare haunt you.”

Nana looked at him. Her gaze held a swirl of emotions in them.

The fear of losing her love forever.

The fear of never seeing him again.

Her eyes turned misty as she recalled how Jinhai had hurt his hand.

“I dreamt that I lost you forever. We got separated. You were going farther and farther away from me. And it all turned dark as if that was the end, and I will never meet you again.”

Jinhai looked down at her petite face. He bent his head and kissed the tear threatening to spill out.

Then from the corner of the eye, he went down and left small feather kisses on her cheek until he reached her beautiful lips. He warmly gazed at her as if he could only see his love and nothing else.

He firmly held the back of her head.

His thumb caressed her cheek.

He gently pressed his lips on hers. When their lips met, Nana instantly forgot about that unknown person. Jinhai’s warmth occupied her mind. She closed her eyes and slightly tilted her head. He swept her lips away in a gentle but firm kiss.

Through that kiss, he wanted to convey that nobody had the power to separate them from each other.

His every touch wanted to express that nobody can snatch this warmth away from her.

The unyielding glint in his black orbs wanted to assure her that he will ruin anybody and everybody who will dare to come in between them.

He slowly broke the kiss. Their hot breaths fanned the other’s face.

He looked straight at her. “I won’t let you go anywhere. Nor will I leave you. Even if one day, you wouldn’t want to stay with me, I will do anything to keep you by my side.”

Nana faintly smiled.

He gave a promise of which she now had to do the opposite.

She had to create distance between them.

She had to make him hate her.

So much that it would make him regret falling in love with her.

So much that he would curse himself for marrying her.

So much that it would make him want to leave her by his own choice.

The next morning Nana was absent-mindedly working in the kitchen when her phone buzzed with the same unknown number.

She pursed her lips and answered.

“I think you have forgotten what you are supposed to do.” The other person coldly said. “What a touchy moment it was. Oh, what a passionate kiss.” It snickered.

Nana didn’t have any expression on her face.

Naturally, the maid would have spouted everything to her master.

“But now it’s high time that you start with your job. By tonight, I want to hear good news. I have already bought the most expensive wine to celebrate. So, don’t let me down.”

And the person hung up the call.

Serena was out for some shopping for her design materials when a voice called out.

“Serena?”

Serena got a headache as she recognized the voice. She turned and saw Yao Luli standing behind her.

You are reading story Because I simply love you at novel35.com

Yao Luli gently smiled. “What a coincidence to meet you here.”

Coincidence, my as*! She must have seen me coming and is purposely trying to pick a fight.

“Boss has finally lifted my suspension, but I didn’t see you in the office. Then I came to know that you resigned. Was everything okay?” She feigned innocence.

Internally Yao Luli was all smug. She thought that Serena left the company because her suspension was close to ending. She might not hold the position of the best designer anymore, so she ran away in fear.

And here she was excited to come back and teach Serena a lesson.

But obviously, why would the boss admit the real reason behind her resignation?

Serena simply smiled.

But her smile irked Yao Luli.

How can she be so calm as if nothing has happened?

She smiled. “You know, next week, Huo Corps is holding an investment bid. The winning company will be awarded a huge investment deal. Boss has selected me as the lead designer to represent Design Premier.”

Her expression had the arrogance that she beat her. She couldn’t wait to see Serena’s troubled face.

Serena said indifferently. “Is that so? Good for you.”

It once again annoyed her that she didn’t give the expected reaction.

Yao Luli sadly said, “I feel sorry for you that you aren’t a part of it. If you still had your job, then you would have gotten the chance to participate. It is a big event, after all. The designer who wins will become famous and will be in demand.”

“It’s alright.”

Serena smirked inside. She would love to see her face distorted in anger when she would see her participating as well, but who owns a company.

“I hope you don’t take this to heart. I think this chance was not in your luck. Don’t worry. You will have more opportunities in the future.” Yao Luli consoled her.

She was saying as if she had already won the competition.

Serena just hummed and inwardly rolled her eyes. She didn’t want to waste her time talking to an idiot like her. She wanted to start preparing for the competition.

Yao Luli was furious that she couldn’t get the reaction from Serena that she wanted.

She thought that Serena would cry and beg before her to talk to the boss if she could participate. Naturally, she would act as if she really asked and refuse, but it would have satisfied her to see her bow down before her.

This bitch has already lost her job. From where is she getting the confidence to look so proud and indifferent?

Yao Luli contained her anger and smiled. “I have to leave now. I have to start preparing for the competition, and there is a lot of work to do. I have a huge responsibility for me. And even if you cannot participate, I do hope that you come and cheer for me. We are former colleagues, after all, right?”

Serena smiled. “Sure.”

Even the last attempt to anger Serena failed. Yao Luli finally couldn’t take it anymore, and she grudgingly left.

Let me see how still indifferent you can be when you see me win the competition!

Serena snorted. “What a fool.”

The day turned to dusk, and slowly it was nightfall. Once again, Jinhai saw that Nana hadn’t returned yet.

It was eleven-thirty when Nana finally came back.

Nana saw that the room was dark and was relieved. She won’t have to face him.

Maybe Jinhai has already gone to sleep.

She tiptoed when the lamp suddenly lighted.

Nana froze in her steps.

Jinhai stood in front of her and narrowed his eyes. “Why are you late again?”

“I was busy.”

“Busy in what?”

Nana hardened her heart and looked at him indifferently. “Jinhai, I also run a business. Yes, it’s not as big as Liu Corps, but I also have a lot of work to do.”

Jinhai was stunned.

He quickly said, “I didn’t mean it that way. I am only worried about you. It’s not good for you to work so hard when you are pregnant.”

“I know, and I have said this many times that I take care of myself. You don’t need to worry.”

She said, a bit irritated. “I also care about our child. You always say as if I’m irresponsible.”

He held her shoulders. “No, Nana. I have never thought like that. I-“

“It’s okay, Jinhai. I’m tired now and want to sleep.”

She shook his hands and went for a shower.

Jinhai stood there, dazed.

The maid quietly listened to their conversation and smirked.

She dialed a number. “Nana has finally started with your plan, master.”
