Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 382 Jia Li's Last Resort

"Yan Zhuhui, how dare you say that to me?! Do you even know what you've done!" Jia Li glared at him. "Have you grown tired of me? Was I asking too much of you? I only want you to get rid of Ran Xueyi because she keeps on standing in my way, but instead of helping me, you're scolding and complaining to me?"

Jia Li refused to think that Yan Zhuhui won't see how pitiful she was. She was trying to grip on his conscience to make him surrender under her once again. "I've done everything you want me to do. But you can't accept this little request from me? Am I just a fuck buddy to you? Am I now worthless to you?"

Over the past years that she spent with Yan Zhuhui, Jia Li learned almost everything about him. She knew how to stir his guilt and make him kneel before her and ask for her forgiveness when she showed tears in front of him. Right now, she was using herself against him, knowing very well that he cannot lose her.

However, what Jia Li did not know was that this would be the case if she hadn't cheated on him. No, if President Yan had find out about her lack of affection for him. He didn't care about her selfishness and conceited personality, but he will never allow himself to become a foolish man suffering from a heartless one-sided unrequited love.

President Yan sneered. "Are you done talking?"

Jia Li was stunned to hear him speaking coldly. Where was the scene where President Yan kneeled for her forgiveness. It couldn't be that she pushed him too much tonight that he didn't want to do that?

No, it can't be. He loved her so much that he could even sacrifice his life for her. I'll just give him a few seconds then I'm sure he'll beg for my forgiveness!

But even after a few seconds of utter cold silence and pressure, President Yan calmly stared at her with those nonchalant eyes as if he was looking at a mannequin.

Feeling her confidence losing her body, Jia Li became anxious. "Babe... I... I'm sorry. I said all this because... because--"

"Because of Ran Xueyi, right?" President Yan supplied. "I know... You always say that to me. It's either you're angry at someone or something you didn't like."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jia Li frowned.

"I mean, you never really get angry at something that involves our relationship. It only makes me wonder if you've ever thought of our relationship seriously. Or maybe, it's only me?"

"What?" Jia Li sensed that something was off, but she couldn't point out what it was.

President Yan stepped forward and sighed. At this moment, he looked really tired and he didn't really want to bother with Jia Li. But if he doesn't, when will he be able to do it?

Is he going to keep letting her take advantage of his feelings for her? Will Jia Li even realize what she'd done to him?

"I booked a flight to another country and bought a villa there as well. I also sent money to your bank account so you won't be worried about not getting to buy what you want. And I talked to your manager to cancel all of your schedules and participation in any upcoming films."

Jia Li was confused and couldn't comprehend what he meant by this. "What are you doing? Why would you cancel them without my permission? You don't have the right to do that?!"

"But I do," President Yan said matter-of-factly. "I am the president of the company where you are signed in. I will release an announcement that you'll be taking a long break from acting."

Finally, Jia Li understood what she was feeling. It was a defeat that she never felt before. Yan Zhuhui was standing across from her but his eyes never really met her own.

Feeling a sense of crisis that her future would be put to a stop, Jia Li decided to do what she can only do to salvage this situation.

"Babe, don't do it! You can't do this to me!" Jia Li hugged his waist and cried until his shirt became soaked with her tears. "No, if you want me to take a short break, I will do it! Let's stay in that villa for a while. We're going to enjoy our time there alone. No one will disturb us. But please don't take acting out of my life."

Jia Li couldn't give up acting. The taste of fame was too much for her to surrender it for a comfortable and peaceful life. For as long as she promised to be a good girl, President Yan will definitely believe her and let her be. Then, when she finally puts things back to its place and has him wrapped inside her hands again, she'll return to the acting scene!

President Yan did not push her away. But he also didn't hug her back. He could see through her lies and intentions even without looking at her face. He wondered if she also did this to him before when he was blinded with love...

Feeling a disgusting sensation in his gut whenever he thought of being tricked by her and held by her after she held another, President Yan's heart kept on screaming in pain. He hadn't loved anybody this much. Hadn't cared for somebody this hard that he was willing to do everything for her.

But it's too bad that the person whom he gave everything to was not the right person.

So this was what it means to wake up in a dream... he thought to himself.

Holding her shoulders and pushing her away, President Yan shook his head and told her, "No... You're the only one who will go there. As for acting, I will blacklist you from acting every again."

"No, no, no!!! You can't do this!" Jia Li's tears turned sincere and genuine. "Yan Zhuhui, you bastard! You can't do this to me! What are you even saying? Are you breaking up with me? Is it because I annoyed you when I asked you to get rid of Ran Xueyi?"

"Fine, I won't ask you to get rid of her! I'll let her go. Just don't break up with me, okay?" She tried to hold onto him but she only got pushed away even further.

President Yan did not even want to look at the woman who made a fool of himself and said, "It's over, Jia Li. Let's not hurt ourselves anymore."

After he said this, he turned around to leave.

"Wait!"

Just then, Jia Li shouted after him.

He didn't stop.

Jia Li was scared and nervous. But she's got one more plan up her sleeve.

"Are you really going to leave me? Even after finding out I'm pregnant?"

As she had expected, the man in front of her stopped in his tracks.
