Chapter 105 - Qing Mei... You're Alive?
*********
CHAPTER 105
From the corner's of her eyes, Han Qing Qing noticed a silhouette and as soon as she looked up, she saw the lady push Ye Cheng's door open.
"Hey! You can't go in there without permission." Han Qing Qing called out to the lady but her words were out rightly ignored and the lady walked in closing the door behind her.
"The nerve!" she muttered to herself and without looking at the lady by her side, she apologized and walked away. "Sorry, excuse me."

A few minutes ago, as Ye Cheng spoke, he noticed some beads of sweat start to glisten on Li Jing's forehead.
He turned towards the air conditioner in his office to check if it was on and saw that it was but she was looking like someone who was sun-kissed or left in the sun for some minutes as a form of punishment.
That was when he noticed that she was replying him absentmindedly and called out her name. "Li Jing."
"Hmm."
"Li Jing," Ye Cheng called out again but much louder this time, startling her and breaking her from whatever trance she was in.
She turned her head in his direction and immediately noticed he took a step towards her with his hands stretched forward towards her head.
Li Jing panicked by the unprepared turn of events and subconsciously took a step backwards to prevent his hand from touching her.
Unknown to her, she missed her step and ended up falling backwards. Ye Cheng reacted quickly and took a step forward with both hands ready to catch her.
In no time she was bent backwards and in his strong arms, with their faces and bodies only a few inches away like a couple on the dance floor.
Both of her hands were on his body with one on his chest and the other on his shoulder. Her face burned a bright hue at that moment as they became hot as well.
Just from their closeness, she could feel her heart, beating wildly against her chest and her mind did little or nothing to help by bringing back the past on his first night with her.
From this angle she could see every one of his facial features much more clearly than before, bringing to light more of his handsomeness and why she had termed him god-like in the first place.
"Are you okay?" Ye Cheng finally spoke, still in that position.
"Umm, yeah. Thanks."
Bang!
The very same moment as she replied, the door opened and closed with a soft bang, startling both of them a bit.
"Ye Cheng!"
At first, he had thought that was Han Qing Qing and did not think much to it, but as soon as he shifted his gaze from Li Jing to the person that arrived, his jaw dropped open at the lady by his door.
Following his line of gaze, Li Jing titled her head to the side so she could get a clear view of her and her eyes were meet with a lady of elegance and beauty.
If looks could kill, she was definitely qualified to kill people with her looks.
"Mei?"
It was as if his words activated her and she slowly, walked towards them. By the time she got to where they stood, still in that position, she arched her brows at Ye Cheng and he immediately got himself back and helped Li Jing up.
After making sure Li Jing could stand well without any support, he turned to look at the other lady in his office and that was when the words that would make Li Jing's heart shake for the first time, resounded clearly in her ears.
"Bai… Bai Qing Mei."
Doom–Doom!
The words felt like a heavy drum being played in Li Jing's ears. She looked at Ye Cheng to check for any hint of joke on his expression and was met with nothing but utter seriousness and shock as he could barely comprehend what was happening.
'Bai Qing Mei, wait. Isn't that the name of Ye Cheng's girlfriend that died?' Li Jing said in her mind.
Ever so slowly, she peeled her eyes off of Ye Cheng and trailed them back to the lady watching both of their stupefied forms.
'So she is the one! How come she is alive?' Li Jing was still trying to wrap her mind on the situation when Ye Cheng took the first step towards the lady.
"Qing Mei… You're alive? Is that really you?"
The lady, Bai Qing Mei placed a hand on her hips and smiled at Ye Cheng, lovingly.
"What do you think, darling? Do I look real enough to you?"
Ye Cheng chuckled a little, taking another step forward. "It is you." He raised both his hands and breached the gap between them as his hands landed on her face warmly. "It is really you. How… how is that possible?"
"Miss me?"
Ye Cheng bobbed his head up and down simultaneously like a child who was seeing his favourite ice cream for after a long while and turned speechless.
"Is that a yes or a no?"
"Of course it is yes. I missed you."
Feeling like the third wheel in their reunion, Li Jing quietly made her way to the door, careful not to disturb or interrupt them.
It was when she reached the door that she found out it was locked from the inside and unbolted it. She had recalled not doing anything of that sought when she came in and instinctively turned around to see the last person who walked in.
She definitely should not have been expecting Li Jing to be there, right? That was Li Jing's thought.
She felt perhaps Bai Qing Mei wanted an alone time with her boyfriend and that was why but the moment she pulled the door open, she came face to face with an angry Han Qing Qing who walked past her without another word into Ye Cheng's office.
"Where is that damned woman?"
Together both of them looked towards Ye Cheng's work desk and the sight they found, left them both speechless.
Bai Qing Mei's lips were pressed against Ye Cheng's who wrapped his hands around her waist.
