Chapter 270 - Mind Blowing
Fu Hua woke up and couldn"t find Jia Li on the bed. He thought she was in the bathroom and called for her but he didn"t hear any response.
An ominous feeling came over him and he got out of bed immediately and walked into the inner room.
He checked the bathroom and the walk-in closet but he didn"t find her. He sighed in relief. He thought something had happened to her.
Fu Hua picked up his phone and put it in his pocket and left the room and went in search of her. He first stepped into her bedroom but the lights were not even turned on. He called her name a few times before turning off the lights and leaving.
"Where could she be?" Fu Hua thought as he walked along the corridors. His gaze landed on the tightly shut doors of the workshop.. He didn"t think she would be there but he had an urge to check, so he made his way towards the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that the lights were turned on but he didn"t see her in the workshop. He knew she had been there since the lights were turned on.
The only thing that made him walk in was because he knew she wouldn"t come to the workshop in the middle of the night if it wasn"t related to fas.h.i.+on ill.u.s.tration.
He walked towards her desk and saw a half-finished draft of what seemed to be a dress. It wasn"t painted. The dress was only ready from the neck to the burst area, one of two hands has been fixed, and the other hand hasn"t been drawn yet.
Picking up the digital graphics drawing tablet, Fu Hua glanced at the ill.u.s.tration closely before putting it back down.
"She woke up in the middle of the night for this?" Fu Hua said with a small smile.
As put the tablet back on her desk, his eyes caught sight of what looks like a sketchbook he found familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had actually seen it during a video with Jia Li while he was away.
He smiled and picked it up while wondering what his little wife has been hiding from him. When he opened the cover page, he saw Jia Li"s initials written on the first page, "JL"
He went on to flip over to the next page. He was wowed by the first ill.u.s.tration he saw there. He thought his wife really had a talent and went on the flip to the second page.
Fu Hua felt he was seeing another side of his wife and he termed it, "Unrestrained".
"How could she be this good?" He thought as he continued studying the third ill.u.s.tration.
Flipping over to the next page, he saw a provocative style of ill.u.s.tration. Under the ill.u.s.tration, the words "Appealing" was written on it and Jia Li"s signature was beside it.
All of the designs in this sketchbook had a t.i.tle and Jia Li"s signature under it.
Fu Hua couldn"t believe his little wife was so good. And as he flipped over to the next page, he didn"t manage to get a good look because Jia Li walked in at this time with a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits.
Jia Li looked surprised to see him. She was a little dumbfounded and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to find you. I have finally seen what you"ve been hiding from me." Fu Hua said with a smile as he raised the sketchbook to her.
Jia Li"s eyes widened in shock and immediately said to him while hurrying over to his side, "Who asked you to touch my things, put it down!"
"Slow down!" Fu Hua said to her in a worried tone but Jia Li was not hearing that. She put down her snacks and tried to get her sketchbook from him but he raised it high above her reach.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Fu Hua asked.
"You... give it back!" Jia Li demanded in an annoyed tone. She had her hands on her waist as she gazed at him furiously.
Fu Hua found her really cute. Since she became pregnant her skin has been glowing and she has been looking more beautiful as the day goes by. He felt like pinching her cheeks but he wasn"t ready to let her sketchbook go just yet, he wasn"t yet satisfied with teasing her. He really wanted to get on her nerves.
Fu Hua chuckled and wanted to get a picture of her posing like a stubborn little woman.
He took out his phone from his pocket with one hand while the other hand was still raised above his head.
Jia Li was still in the same posture when he took her picture. She was really mad at him.
"Are you bullying me?" She asked.
"I"m not. What"s your reason for hiding these mind-blowing designs from me?" Fu Hua inquired.
"Fu Hua, give it back to me!" Jia Li said and stomped her right foot but she immediately frowned in pain as she held her baby b.u.mp with her hands.
Fu Hua was so scared for her and immediately put the sketchbook down. He was about to ask what happened when Jia Li picked up the sketchbook
"Don"t touch my things!" Jia Li said and pulled out her chair to sit. Fu Hua was a little lost.
"Did you play a trick on me?" He asked.
"Jasmine, tell your father not to disturb me." Jia Li said as she pushed the cup of tea and plate of biscuits to her side.
Fu Hua stole one of her biscuits and walked towards his desk. He could imagine Jia Li"s angry gaze on him and a smile appeared on his face.
"Thief!" Jia Li cursed under her breath before taking a bite from the piece in her hand.
"You are so talented and since you are a bit popular, you can launch your clothing line at the right time." Fu Hua said after he sat down.
"I had wanted to sell my designs while climbing the ladder." Jia Li replied as she put the special sketchbook on her desk.
"Don"t do that now, it will be a big loss. When you make a name for yourself, your talent will have an outstanding price tag. A piece of your work will be worth a lot and people will pay any amount just to have it." Fu Hua revealed to her.
