CHAPTER 121

Left to her, she would not mind some happy time especially when she was with Ye Cheng but the fact that he called them over to drink, then there should be something wrong as then they were the ones pulling him off work to drink.

Ye Cheng would never slack off from work so this attitude sure was questioning.

"Why? Can't we celebrate? I returned safely and so did you, left to me that is enough reason to celebrate amongst friends."

Okay, he did have a point with the way he put it, but Hao Huizhong felt like there was something more. Apparently, his hunch was right but after some seconds he threw it away, thinking the present happenings had made him paranoid for nothing.

"Ha! If that is so, then we should actually do a big party to celebrate," Bai Qing Mei suggested.

"Hmm, that sounds nice, what do you think Hao Huizhong?" Ye Cheng turned his chair a bit so that he was now facing his friend and waited for his answer.

"What? Me?"

"Yes, you, silly. Who else? What do you think about a party? It would be fun, you know. We could invite some friends and just enjoy the night together. It has been long you know."

Ye Cheng shook his head in his mind as he watched silently how Bai Qing Mei was more than excited over the idea of a party and had soon forgotten her tensed self.

He had intentionally done this to help them relax and become free before breaking the bomb to them. On Bai Qing Mei" part she had completely let down her guard, now all that remained would be for Hao Huizhong to do so too.

He did not have to bother about that as Bai Qing Mei would do her job herself without his interference and Hao Huizhong would succumb to her womanly charms and relax.

Which of course did not take long too as Ye Cheng began to see Hao Huizhong's defences drop with every second in which Bai Qing Mei spoke.

'Finally!' Ye Cheng thought.

The bull has been calmed down. Just when he was about rejoicing that everything was okay, Hao Huizhong spoke up.

"And what about your busy schedule? Don't you have enough work on your hands for you to be hosting us during work hours?" His stern gaze flickered towards Ye Cheng's direction and his brows raised in a questioning manner at him.

"hey," Bai Qing Mei hit his arm hard earning herself a cold glare from Hao Huizhing. "Don't be such a buzzkill, Huizhong."

"Hahha, I knew you would say that. It is alright Qing Mei. Yes, I had such busy schedules but since this was an important event, I quickly cleared my work and finished my meetings on time just so we could hang out."

"Wow!" Hao Huizhong pretended to sound surprised. "Who killed your joy like this?"

"Huizhong!" Bai Qing Mei yelled his name.

"No, let him be. Try escaping death once and you would tend to appreciate life even more than before. You only live once Huizhong, so I am doing what I want and when I want it."

"Oh, I see." All of a sudden, his stern look dropped and his part face surfaced. "What are you waiting for? Cheers then. Party time it is!" Hao Huizhong raised his glass of wine in the air and half yelled.

"Hah, haha, that's more like it, baby."

They drank for some minutes and laughed themselves away, completely forgetting things could go wrong anytime soon.

Ye Cheng looked at his wall clock and saw that it was already 2:45 pm and muttered to himself. "It is time."

"Did you say something?" Bai Qing Mei asked. He was about replying her when a knock came on his door and it opened.

"Sir, a package has arrived for you." Han Qing Qing immediately stated as soon as she stepped into the office.

"Ahh, just what I have been waiting for. Bring it in."

"Yes sir." With that, she turned back and exited the office.

Hearing the word package, Bai Qing Mei asked, "What's that?"

"Relax." Han Qing Qing returned with the package and went to drop it on his table. "Thanks."

Without looking at either of them or watching as his assistant left, Ye Cheng unwrapped the package and pulled out a brown envelope then carefully opened it.

By now, both Hao Huizhong and Bai Qing Mei were at the edge of their seats as they were keen on seeing what the package contained.

Ye Cheng brought out a picture and stared at the pictures carefully for sometime before looking up at his friends.

"What is wrong?" Bai Qing Mei stared at him with confusion laced in her eyes. She did not understand it but after looking at those pictures, Ye Cheng's mood suddenly changed and it felt as though the temperature in the room dropped and became more freezing.

Rather than speaking, he kept the pictures and passed her the envelope. Bai Qing Mei took it from him and opened it, bringing out the pictures and moving backwards so Hao Huizhong would get a glimpse of it as well.

It was a picture of Hao Huizhong in front of the Bai mansion, while the second picture was a picture of Bai Qing Mei hugging Hao Huizhong in front of her house and the last was another picture of Hao Huizhong climbing the front stairs leading to the porch at the front of the house.

This pictures did say a lot because of one thing. Their dates.

Hao Huizhong had acted shocked the day Ye Cheng told him about Bai Qing Mei's death but now, things did not seem to be the way they were.

Both of them were slightly shocked by the pictures in their hands and could only stare at each other from the corners of their eyes, then look up at Ye Cheng.

"Kindly explain to me the meaning of that." His calm and dangerously cold voice rang in their ears, sending an untold fear in their minds.
