Chapter 482: Love on Stage
"I am dedicating my collection, to my little daughter whom I neglected during the period I was working on it. Jasmine, mum is sorry."
Here, Jia Li just gave a hint of who her daughter and her husband were and her relationship to the Fu family but since no outsider knew that 'Jasmine' was the nickname of the little princess of the Fu family, they remained in the dark.
"Is she finally going to acknowledge us?" Fu Geming asked as he stared at the stage curiously.
The Fu family had their thoughts and so as the audience who were fans of Jia Li.
"Wow! JL is married and she has a daughter as well?"
"OMG! I am so shocked right now. When did she give birth?"
"I think it was last year when she was not that active." Some replied to the other person.
"But I really respect JL for keeping her private life away from the social media."
"Right? I feel she is strong-willed otherwise, how can anyone resist not posting about their husband or daughter."
"I also want to thank my Supervisor Miss Sunny for her great mentorship and the scoldings I received from her. She might look fierce but she is actually one of the greatest woman I have ever worked under. Miss Sunny, I am grateful." Jia Li said with her eyes on backstage before turning to face the judges.
"Thank you to my family and my colleagues for being kind to me and a big thanks to FJ for deeming me worthy of this award, thank you." Jia Li said with a big bow and received applause from the audience who cheered on for her.
Fu Hua who has been standing behind, stepped forward now to take the microphone from Jia Li, who bowed and wanted to walk away.
"Jia Li, don't go, I have a few things to say." Fu Hua said to Jia Li who had already turned her back to leave.
Sunny who was backstage, smiled and went to sit, amidst the whispering of the newbies and other FJ workers who didn't know what their Boss was up to.
Jia Li didn't know what Fu Hua was up to but her heartbeats were already accelerating and she could tell how scared she was.
Zimo smiled at Jia Li and gestured 👋 to face the judges, who had no choice but to obey.
"Finally, he is going to acknowledge her." Grandfather Fu said after heaving a sigh of relief.
Fu Hua who always had a cold expression on his face smiled at the audience before raising the mic to his lips to address them...
"If she didn't win the award today, I would have broken her legs because she worked so hard for her designs after I scolded her. She would come home from work late and would go straight to sleep without spending a little time with her daughter. And she didn't just neglect her daughter, she neglected her husband as well."
At this point, Jia Li felt like disappearing because she could guess where Fu Hua was going.
'Can you not tell me about stuff like this before doing this?' She thought to herself.
"What the fuck is going on here?" Someone from the audience muttered under his breath as he watched on.
"What the hell is happening?" A lady said as she cleaned her ears and her eyes with a confused gaze.
"Oh no! Don't tell me that my guess is right!" A young lady from the audience said with a shocked gaze on the stage.
Linda looked confused as she asked, "Does Mr. Fu and JL have a close relationship?"
"I think so, otherwise how can this scene be explained?" One of them said with an interested gaze.
Fu Hua was not moved by Jia Li's feelings as he continued to say with a proud smile on his face, "You all have been curious to know who my wife is and I bet you that she is here and she is not jealous of my actions here on stage, although she feels like killing me right now."
After saying this, Fu Hua slowly turned his gaze to Jia Li and stretched out his hand to her.
Fu Hua's actions caused gasps of shock to escape from the lips of the surprised audience and viewers.
"Oh my goodness! JL is Mr. Fu's wife?"
"Don't tell me that JL is The Hidden Wife of the Cold CEO?"
"Can some please wake me up from my dreams?"
Smiles appeared on the faces of the Fu family and even FangSu and DanDan who had changed out of the outfit happily watched the Tv from the big room they were in.
"That's my brother!" FangSu said with a proud look.
Jia Li, on the other hand glanced at Fu Hua's hand, as she refused to take it. She was still shocked by his actions and that equally made her embarrassed.
Fu Hua was not angry that Jia Li did not take his hand, instead, he used the microphone to say to her, "Just now when you were giving your speech, you acknowledged your husband and now that he is standing in front of you and giving you his hand, you don't want to take it?"
'It is finished!' Jia Li thought as she slowly moved her gaze from his hand to his smiling face. It was as if time had stopped as Fu Hua just revealed his Hidden Wife to them.
Those who had already guessed their relationship, had different thoughts and emotions going on in them.
Jia Li sighed with her eyes closed before slowly taking his hands with her gaze downwards. She was shy when she heard the gasps of shocks from the audience and the whispering flying around.
"OMG! They are really married!"
"I don't want this dream to end."
"What a perfect match!"
"I'm happy that I didn't miss today's show for the music concert."
"I want Mr. Fu to grant at least one interview to answer all our questions."
"For example the reason he hid his wife for this long."
"Forget about the cold CEO accepting an Interview but if he addresses this situation again, we would be lucky."
"I'm really curious about their relationship right now!"
Backstage, Jia Li's colleagues were too shocked to say anything. Even Marié looked dumbfounded as she stared hard at the TV.
Fu Hua who was happy that Jia Li took his hand, smiled even brightly before bringing the back of her palm to his lips, to the amazement of everyone.
"My wife is shy and I'm sorry to her for not telling her about this beforehand. I am my wife's biggest fan and she may not know this. I know a lot of you are curious about our relationship, so I made a 3 minutes video which would be out an hour after this show comes to an end. Thank you for your interest in my Hidden Wife and you will be seeing us together from this moment onwards."
After saying this, Fu Hua handed the microphone to the mc who was still shocked by the turn of events and then he walked away with his shy wife, while still holding onto her hands.
