Wan Jia ignored his sarcasm. "I want to ask him. I still have his contact number. I'm going to call him. The last time he said to meet him if I have anything to ask."

Lu Aotian glared at her. "You like seeking danger, don't you? Is hell raiser your middle name or what?"

"I'm not seeking trouble. I'm seeking answers." She retorted.

"Which shouldn't be a problem except this man is an enemy. Do you not know that doctors can be more dangerous than special class mercenaries? Not to mention this is a genius doctor we are talking about. Don't be stubborn, okay?"

The last statement sounded as though he was coaxing Little Jia.

Wan Jia remained silent for a while. He had a point. But which part of Qian Li was dangerous? She had been scared of him from what she heard about him but that was before they met. After that flash meeting, all she saw was a young man who can do anything for the person he loves. He even risked getting exposed and consequently killed just to beg for Poisonous' freedom.

"Then we can go together. If you're there, nothing can go wrong, right?"

"I can't guarantee that I will not lose my temper at the sight of him and want to beat him to death."

Wan Jia was speechless.

Lu Aotian changed the direction of the discussion. "How's your project coming?"

"The hotel owner agreed to sell it over to me. We are sealing the deal tomorrow."

"So fast?" His wife surprised him yet again.

Wan Jia had a smug expression. "What do you think? If I can negotiate business with President Lu, what are those small fries?"

He was pleasantly surprised. She neither asked him for a single cent nor used her shares as pledge. She must have saved quite a lot of money from her sales in the past months. Still, the deal was sealed too fast. Although buying over a business that was bankrupt was a piece of cake, some owners were still unwilling to let go. She must have used the expert negotiation skills she had learnt from him.

"Are you so busy lately?" she remembered to ask.

"No matter how busy I am, I would never be too busy for you." Of course, his answer would display as much affection as possible.

"Does that mean you are busy? It's for someone else."

"Why would I create time for other people?"

"…"

Can you not be so annoying?

"It's about your Lin family?"

"Yes...How did you know?"

"Do you think it's that hard to know what you're thinking?"

Wan Jia was speechless. Was she such an open book?

Lu Aotian patted her head. "Do you want me to help your father out?"

He said 'your father'. Not 'father-in-law. That proved just how much he wanted to put a distance between him and Lin Zhou.

Wan Jia: "I don't know. I just don't want my mom and sister to be sad."

Lu Aotian chuckled at her adorable expression. She made him want to pinch her cheeks. "There are two ways to save Lin Industries. Either make it an ally of a larger company. Lu Enterprises is the best choice in this case but I don't want to be Lin Zhou's business partner so that's a big fat no."

"What's the second option?"

"Something your father should have already done. Make that person's business go bankrupt. To save his company he will have to sell out the shares of Lin Industries that he bought."

Wan Jia frowned. "You didn't use up your brain juices to think of the second option, did you? I would have thought of that even when asleep. Why is it that dad hasn't done it yet?"

"Not everyone knows that the anonymous buyer is Qian Ye (Genius doctor Qian Li's father)"

"Should I tell him?" Wan Jia asked.

Lu Aotian rolled the diamond pen in his hand. "I don't know. Do you want to be the Qians' new enemy?"

Wan Jia sighed helplessly, stood and unceremoniously planted a kiss on his lips. "Let's go talk to Qian Li."

Using the beauty trap now, huh? Lu Aotian laughed. "I guess you don't like him that much after all." Don't blame me for killing him.

"Shut up and kiss me."

…

When she managed to convince Lu Aotian to accompany her to meet Qian Li, she called the contact number he gave her as soon as she got home.

"If it isn't Top designer Wan Jia."

"How did you know it's me?" Wan Jia felt it was creepy. They hadn't exchanged contacts. She only took his.

"There's nothing I don't know about you."

"Forget it. Can we meet to talk?"

Qian Li sounded regretful. "I'd like to, but I already fled the country. You took too long."

"Can't you come back?"

"And get into Lu Aotian's hands? You've got to be kidding me."

"My husband will try not to beat you to death." She used Lu Aotian's exact words.

"Then I'll try to come."

Wan Jia hung up and let out a sigh of relief. It would be better to get answers soon. If he didn't answer her, she would take matters into her own hands.

After being told that doctors could be dangerous, she increased her rate of practicing martial arts skills. She would have to be speedy in case Qian Li had ill motives. To avoid casualties, she wouldn't let the two men meet. Lu Aotian would only be close by.
