Chapter 183 - Jia Li Tells Li Huan Shes Married

Jia Li removed the gloves from her hands before taking a few sips from her tea. She met Li Huan's gaze and felt it was weird.

Li Huan smiled when Jia Li looked away from him. He thought she was still that shy young girl he used to know.

"Jia Li, how have you been? I'm sorry I was too caught up with work that I didn't call regularly." Li Huan said as he put down his cup of coffee and gazed at Jia Li with a smile.

The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. She still looked the same as the last time he saw her.

"It doesn't matter. You were busy with work and I was busy with school." Jia Li replied and blew on the hot tea before sipping some of it.

Still with a smiling gaze he asked, "How are your studies? When are you rounding up?"

"I'm currently working on my projects. I will be graduating in a month from now." Jia Li replied.

"Wow! That's good. I'm sure you're doing so great!" Li Huan said.

Jia Li felt awkward sitting there and chatting with him. Before, she used to antic.i.p.ate this kind of meeting with him but now that it was actually happening, she wasn't catching the right feelings.

Jia Li looked around the cafe and hugged her arms. She was truly uncomfortable and Li Huan who has had his eyes ????? on her since she stepped into the cafe, noticed she wasn't comfortable.

"Are you uncomfortable? Do you want us to go to some other place?" Li Huan asked in a concerned tone while thinking she was uncomfortable sitting in a public place with him.

Jia Li returns her gaze to him and said, "No, it's fine here. Brother Huan, you said you have something important to tell me."

Being reminded of the reason for his happiness, Li Huan smiled and announced to her.

"Yes. I pa.s.sed a test and a difficult interview and was promoted to the Head of my department."

"What! Brother Huan, you got a promotion?" Jia Li asked in an excited tone. She was truly happy for Li Huan since he got a promotion after only working for 3 years.

"Yes, I did. My hard work paid off. And now that I am the Head of my department, I can control my schedule most of the time." Li Huan said happily.

This was the greatest achievement to him so far and now, he had another plan, which he would make known at the end of the day.

And the plan was to be with the woman he adores and that woman was sitting in front of him now.

Jia Li was unaware of his thoughts and was still excited about his promotion.

"Brother Huan, this is good news. Does Aunty know about this?"

"Not yet, I haven't said anything to her. If she finds out about it, she will want me to go back home to have a sumptuous meal with her." Li Huan said as he relaxed on the seat.

He knows his mother very well, she will surely ask him to come home to celebrate his promotion over a table of local dishes.

"That's true, Aunty will surely want to celebrate with you!" Jia Li said with a smile.

"And she will want you to join us. So, Jia Li, will you travel back home with me, to celebrate my promotion with my mom?" Li Huan asked as he stretched his hand to hold hers.

Jia Li withdrew her hands from his awkwardly. She knew where all these things were going but it was too late for them to be together and this was the right time to tell him the whole changes her life has undergone.

Li Huan thought Jia Li was shy and smiled to himself. He didn't feel bad, because Jia Li has always been so innocent and shy since he has known her, so her actions now, wasn't a surprise to him.

"Brother Huan, I have something important to tell you." Jia Li said with a nervous gaze while fiddling with her fingers that were on her laps.

Li Huan saw her nervous look and his looks turned serious as well. "Is something the matter? Please tell me."

Jia Li was really nervous and didn't know how to say this to him without making him sad because she could tell that he liked her a lot. Breaking this news to him will definitely break his heart but she has to do it.

Li Huan waited patiently untill Jia Li mustered up her courage to face him.

"Brother Huan, I'm married." Jia Li finally said to him as her heart raced.

'Brother Huan, I'm married.'

'I'm married!'

'I'm married!'

Those words continued echoing in Li Huan's ears. He thought he didn't hear well, but there was no way he would have heard wrong, and Jia Li's confirmation to them, was like a hammer hitting on his chest.

"Brother Huan, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It happened all of a sudden and I didn't have the opportunity to tell you about it. The last time I wanted to tell you about it your Boss called for you, so we had to end our conversation." Jia Li said to him with a worried look on her face.

Thinking about her words, he remembered the last time he heard a conversation with her before he called her this morning. Thinking back to that conversation, he remembered her saying something about having a matter she wanted to tell him.

'So, this was the matter?'

After a long time, Li Huan found his voice. "When did you get married? Are you joking with me?"

"I can't lie to you, I...I got married in September." Jia Li replied in a soft tone.

"Did the Fu family force you to get married? Are they bullying you?" Li Huan asked with a heavy heart.

"They are treating me very well." Jia Li replied.

"Who is your husband? Does he love you?" Li Huan asked again.

"Brother Huan, all these questions are not necessary. I have to go back home, I can't stay out for long." Jia Li said with a frown as she was starting to be uncomfortable.
