He was only slightly happier now that she was now all his... yet someone else was trying so hard to keep herself awake just so she could compete him for her attention! It didn't matter that that person was a little girl and their daughter at that, he was jealous. So jealous that his lungs were exploding with enough force to make the whole house burst into flames if he let it out.
Just as he feared, the adorable little thing brightened up when she saw her mother being carried in.
She rushed over in her tiny steps "Mommy!"
Lu Aotian frowned. "She's asleep. Go to sleep too. You'll play with her tomorrow." his voice carried a tinge of coldness.
To his disappointment, Wan Jia had already been awakened by Little Jia's voice.
"Baby!" she got down from Lu Aotian's embrace and hugged her baby.
"Mommy, congratulations!" she said sweetly.
Wan Jia smiled and kissed her daughter's cheek. "Thank you baby."
The mother and daughter duo embraced each other for literally ages before Wan Jia finally said "Baby, let's go to sleep. It's already late. "
"Mommy, accompany Little Jia to sleep tonight, alright?" she blinked cutely.
Wan Jia chuckled and tapped Little Jia's nose. There was no way she would reject this tiny little request from her baby. Then she held the little girl in her arms and went to her room.
Lu Aotian was speechless.
How could the two of you simply ignore me?
I'm the one who carried you home! It was all me! I even did so all alone yet you didn't even acknowledge me and now you go to accompany someone else? Why was everyone trying to take his wife away? Where was the so called justice in this world?
A certain sulky abandoned consort dragged his tall figure into his room in frustration. He had even prepared a surprise to congratulate her but now she wasn't even going to look at it. Never mind, it's the thought that counts. She'll see it tomorrow.
The next morning, Wan Jia woke up feeling refreshed and happy. She could finally confirm that she wasn't dreaming. She was really the reining golden rookie!
She took out her phone to check the news.
All the headlines read:
[Golden Rookie Designer Awards ended. The winner will amaze you!]
[Designer Wan Jia dazzles the world with both beauty and talent *photos]
[Golden Rookie Designer Awards won by a goddess. Upcoming model? *video]
[Goddess has slain everyone. Even big shot organizers can't escape!]
Attatched was a narration about how a certain organizer asked if Wan Jia kissing the trophy he had touched could be counted as an indirect kiss.
Then the headlines started changing
[Mondial Studios goes bankrupt]
"Bankrupt?!" Wan Jia gasped.
Yet there was more.
[Wickedness exposed. Talent Scout Alex Baker of Mondial Studios exposed for forcing his surbordinates into illicit affairs *Photos]
Attatched were photos and confessions from young girls who were unfortunate enough to be exploited by him.
This Alex Baker was just too unlucky. Not only did he bully Lu Aotian's woman, he even did so in a way that made Lu Aotian suspicious about his intentions towards her and on a night when Lu Aotian was dying of anger.
The man uncovered every single one of his evil deeds including past records of bribery. No one would ever employ him in future. His career path was now totally ruined.
He wasn't the only one crying. The CEO of Mondial Studios and his daughter were both kicked out by the shareholders in a final attempt to save their studio. Those in the know knew that whatever happened was a result of offending someone they shouldn't have. They hoped that by kicking out the troublemakers, the other party would show them a tiny bit of mercy.
Mo Zilian fell from her perch as the CEO's daughter and Vice President right into the depths of hell. She swore that Wan Jia would pay a hundredfold for all this.
Wan Jia took a shower and went downstairs for breakfast. Lu Aotian was sipping on his coffee in the living room as he read the newspaper with a grin on his handsome face.
Wan Jia walked to him and pointed onto the news about Mr. Baker as she asked "Did you do this?"
The man smiled and glanced at her "He bullied you, so I bullied him back. Are you impressed?"
She was not happy about other people losing their jobs and power but if those people bullied her first then they had themselves to blame. She flung herself into his arms and rested her head on his chest. "Thank you"
"No need to thank me." Lu Aotian said as he rubbed her hair feeling giddy from the sudden long desired hug.
"Did you..."
"Mommy! Little Jia wants a hug too." He was just about to ask if she saw his gift when a whine interrupted him.
She jolted from his arms like his chest was burning her. "Baby!" she rushed to the little girl.
Lu Aotian "...."
Aren't you supposed to fight your mother for my attention? Why are you competing me instead? Also, what's with this familiar act of ignoring me?Are the two of you in this together?
Lu Aotian knew that the little girl was doing it on purpose when she gave him a funny look and burried herself deeper into her mother's shoulder. It was as if she was telling him "look! you can only hug her a little after working so hard. And even then I can steal her from you so easily."
