Married to the President

Chapter 40: No feelings for he

Junxie Li frowned. He knew it. His parents had invited him over because of his engagement and

relationship with Yolanda Zu.

His parents knew his stand from the beginning, but they thought he was going to succumb to loving

her.

He didn't grow to love her nor have a bit of feelings for her, rather, he began to dislike her every single

day.

She's arrogant and rude. She doesn't have a sense of piety. She's not his type of woman and besides

she doesn't possess the kind of body he likes in women.

She's just not his kind of woman. There's nothing about her that appeals to him. She may have been

from an aristocratic class, but he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with a woman he has no

feelings for.

It will amount to him ruining his own future happiness and hers as well. Two lives living as a couple

before the outside world but a complete stranger to each other.

"I asked you a question, Junxie," Cheng Li demanded. Instead of his son answering his question, he

remained stilled like someone who was lost in his world of fantasies.

" Nothing special dad,"Junxie Li answered simply. Nothing special because things are the way they

have always been.

"I was told she came over to the company to invite you for lunch and you completely shunned her

despite telling you ahead of time?"Cheng Li asked.

Junxie had never mentioned that he was going out for lunch, dinner or any kind of outing with Yolanda

Zu.

Since they were engaged, he should always let her be in his company. They are supposed to go places

together and let people see them in love with each other.

"Yes. She called me and I told her I was busy. But she's heady and insists on coming against my will.

So she deserved the treatment she got from me"Junxie Li replied with clenched teeth and snorted.

Carol Li told the boys to go into the study. The adults are talking. She would call them out soon.

"You are busy even during the lunch hour? How can you treat your fiancee like that Jun?''Carol Li

asked furiously as soon as the kids left.

"I have work to do and wasn't interested in going for lunch. This isn't the first time mum, it's something I

have done several times"Junxie Li defended.

His parents said he had no genuine excuse over his refusal to go lunch with her. Since his Fiancee

wants to be with him for lunch, he had no reason whatsoever to deny her the privilege.

He should make it up to her by visiting her family and having time with them for lunch or dinner. He

needs to impress her parents that he is a worthy son in-law.

But Junxie Li immediately shook the idea off. "What are you saying mum, that I should go to the Zu

family and spend time with them to prove my worthiness to marry their daughter?

A woman I have no bit of feelings for? Why should I deceive myself? If someone is deceiving me, is it

logical that I deceive myself too?

Please mum, dad, let's get things straight. I don't love this lady. I don't want to give her a false hope. I

want to break up my engagement with her!" Junxie Li declared.

Cheng Li became furious with his son. How dare he suggest breaking up his engagement?

"Shut the crap Junxie. How can you be with a woman for two years as her Fiance and still talk about

breaking up?" He thundered.

"Do you want me to be happy or want me to live the rest of my life in regrets,?" Junxie Li asked his Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

father. His face was stone cold as his father's.

Cheng Li couldn't answer his son's question. Of Course he wants him to be happy but can't say that

now otherwise, he would say his happiness does not lie with Yolanda Zu.

If he says he wants him to live the rest of his life in regrets, then he is not a good father. He loved his

sons more than anything else in the world.

He looked at him with a hostile stare. "What about our business and the collaboration we have? What

about our partnership with the Zu's Group?

Do you put that into consideration before saying what you said?" Cheng Li demanded.

" So because of the Li Group, should I place my future happiness, my life, my satisfaction and that of

my children in line or play it as a lottery ticket so as to preserve the interest of the company?

Dad, when did you start placing the interest of the company or money above the love you have for me?

Mum, are you a part of this?

For heaven's sake, these kids are your grandchildren and have your blood run through their veins. Do

you care about them more than the company?" Junxie Li demanded.

There was a needle dropping silence. None of Junxie Li's parents could answer his question. He had

caught them in the place where it's hardest to escape.

Seeing his parents didn't reply to him, he continued "Look at these boys, where did you think they

came from, they fell down from the sky and became my son's right?

I slept with a woman. I took her for the first time without her self consciousness and she became

pregnant with my children.

Shouldn't I take responsibility for her? I can't make her a woman and a mother and then leave her to

marry someone else.

I will take up my responsibility towards my kids' mother. I will compensate Yolanda Zu for wasting two

years of her life being my fiancee.

It wouldn't have been so but you forced me into that commitment and now I will be the one to

compensate her.

But if you so desperately want her to be your daughter in law, marry her off to Julia. He is also your

son" Junxie Li concluded.

He stood up and went to get his kids. They giggled down to their grandparents. "Goodbyegrandma, bye

bye grandpa"the kids greeted.

"May heaven bless you my sons' 'Cheng Li replied, smiling profoundly to them. The kids would never

believe he was putting up a pretence before them.

"I will miss you, my sons,"Carol replied, waving a hand at them. She smiled and kept staring at them till

they walked out of the door.

Junxie Li held the door for them to get in. He took his place behind the steering wheel and drove out of

Li's residence.

He felt happy. It was like a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He was brave enough to

reject his father's wish for the first time in his life.

He declared it to them. He had kept the desire for the break up as a lump in his throat for months now.

But the presence of the boys was a perfect excuse he had used.

Even if Theresa Mo hates him like she claimed, he had started using her as a shield from an unhappy

union his parents wanted to push him into.

If he sees Theresa Mo soon, he would strike a deal with her. It would be a symbiotic relationship.

The boys were talking and giggling along the way. He decided to ask them what they wanted for dinner.

If that's what the cook makes, they will head home but if not, he would buy them dinner before getting

home.

"What do you want for dinner?"Junxie Li asked, staring at them from the rear view mirror.

The boys looked at each other. Their mother never asked them to make a choice or decide what they

want to eat as food.

What reply should they give now? " Grilled chicken and vegetables",Lee Mo answered. Their mother

prepares that for them often and they like it.

Junxie Li didn't bother to call the cook. He would get them dinner at a shoprite, a place for the different

dishes.

Theresa Mo was home alone. She missed her kids real much. She went to their room and took their

pictures in her hands.

She needed to move on with life. Her kids gone ,her job left behind. She has no relatives except

friends.

And in her present predicament, she doesn't want to be with any friend at the time. She will remain

indoors and do some designing.

She would work on different design drafts and see how she can make it. If things don't go well with her,

she would leave the country and go elsewhere.

But then, she would choose to forget about her kids completely. She was lost in thought. Despite

feeling depressed, she didn't sob anymore, she had made up her mind not to sob.

While Theresa Mo was going through her present predicament, Junxie Li was in his study making calls

to Julia..
