The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO-Chapter 40 - Her Senior In High School

He has that smile on his face as he stared at her.

"It's good to see you again, Jia Li." The young man said with a smile.

"Brother Li Huan?." Jia Li said as she stared at the familiar face in surprise.

"Are you surprised to see me?." Li Huang asked with a smile as he gazed at her.

"Yeah." Jia Li answered a little absent-mindedly. Glancing at his hands, she regained her manners.

"Brother Li Huan, please don't mind me, come in." She said to him as she opened the door wide enough for him to pass through with the kinds of stuff in his hands.

While tailing after Li Huan, Jia Li's heart was beating a few paces faster than normal. She would be lying if she denied the fact that she was affected by seeing Li Huan at her doorstep today.

"Jia Li who Is there?." Mrs. Qin asked from the living room. But when she turned her head, she saw a familiar figure walking towards them with some bags in his hands.

"Li Huang?." Mrs. Qin asked, standing to her feet in surprise. Mr. Qin also turned to glance over and saw the handsome familiar face.

"Is that Li Huang I'm seeing?." Mr. Qin asked with a welcoming smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Qin, Good afternoon, Mrs. Qin." Lin Huan greeted with a smile as he walked towards them with the bags in his hand.

Getting close to them, he kept the bags aside and shook hands with Mr. Qin.

"Li Huang, when did you come back?." Mrs. Qin asked as she gestured to him to take a seat.

Sitting down comfortably, Li Huan smiled as he replied. "I came back this morning."

"That's good. Your mother must have been happy to see you." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.

Jia Li who has been standing walked over and took a seat beside her mother.

"Yes, she was very happy to see me." Li Huan replied with a smile.

"Good... Good." Mr. Qin said while nodding in approval.

"Mrs. Qin this..." Li Huan started saying but got cut off by Mrs. Qin.

"Why the stress, Just call us, Aunty and Uncle."

Li Huan took the correction and addressed them as she told him.

"Aunty, Uncle, this is the little gift I bought from the city." Li Huan said while pointing at the backs he left at the side.

"All these for us?." Mrs. Qin asked.

"You shouldn't have bothered, you are a young man who just started working." Mr. Qin said to him.

"There is no trouble at all. I can't come to greet Uncle and Aunty empty-handed after some years now." Liu Huan explained.

"You did well." Mrs. Qin commended him.

Then turning to Jia Li who has been quiet, she said to her, "Jia Li, have you greeted Li Huang?."

Looking up slowly while trying to hide her embarrassment, she replied, "Yes, I greeted him at the door."

What she did at the door was not a greeting, but how would her mother know about it? And definitely, Li Huan wouldn't mention it.

Li Huan and Jia Li have known each other for some years now. Li Huan was Jia Li's senior in high school, but back then, they didn't know each other very well, and they only became close when they both found out they lived in the same neighborhood.

Jia Li's parents have always known Li Huan to be Jia Li's senior in school because he used to walk her home most times from school before he graduated from high school and went to another city to enroll in college, so they became acquainted.

Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin were happy to see Li Huan once again. They chatted with him and ask him about his life and job, and it turned out that Li Huan was doing very well and also walking in a big tech company.

"Jia Li, go and cut some fruits for Li Huan." Mrs. Qin said to Jia Li with a smile.

Jia Li excused herself and went into the kitchen. She was blushing when she came into the kitchen.

While in the living room, she felt Li Huan's gaze on her at every moment, and so she has been looking for a moment to escape so she could fan her hot cheeks and breathe properly.

Fanning her face, she asked herself, "Jia Li, what is wrong with you?."

Feeling that the hotness on her cheeks and neck had reduced she sighed in relief and picked up some fruits to wash.

In the living room, Mrs. Qin turned to glance in the direction of the kitchen while saying, "Why is Jia Li taking so much time to cut some fruits?."

"Relax, it hasn't been up to two minutes since she left." Mr. Qin said to her.

"We have a visitor. I will go find her and help her out." Mrs. Qin said before disappearing into the kitchen.

Mrs. Qin was not really bothered, she only made this excuse to go and check on Jia Li, because she noticed something.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Jia Li turned to see who it was.

"Mum? Why did you come in, you should have waited for me?" Jia Li said to her before going back to cut the Apple with the knife in her hand.

"Are you disappointed?." Mrs. Qin asked as she walked to her side with a smile.

"Disappointed with what?." Jia Li asked inc confusion.

"Are you disappointed that it's not Li Huan that came to look for you?." Mrs. Qin teased with her gaze on Jia Li while waiting for a response.

"Mum?!." Jia Li said in shock as she looked behind her to make sure no other person had her.

"What? Am I wrong?." Mrs. Qin asked as she took a piece of the fruit and out into her mouth, her gaze never leaving Jia Li as she chewed on the Apple ????.

"Mum, who gave you that impression?." Jia Li asked with a frown as she tried to stop her racing heart from beating faster.
