CHAPTER 152

Li Jing pressed her lips close to the side of his face and planted a chaste kiss on his cheek before pulling away.

The moment her lips made contact with his cheek, he subconsciously closed his eyes rather than leaving them opened to savour the feel of her gentle kiss.

Although it was for a few seconds, it still felt very long to Ye Cheng and who was sad at te loss of contact he was getting.

"Goodnight."

He did not have time to register any of what she said and she pulled away from his arms and scurried off in the direction of her apartment, leaving him alone in dead night.

His gaze excorted her till she entered through the door and he could no longer see her bresk light before his mind fully registered all that had happened.

He was mad with her at first and the thought that she was going to see Tang Zixin only made it worse. He did not want to tell her what to do but was mad at himself that leaving her with Tang Zixin only made him have her.

Why was he mad? He just couldn't place it and then he saw her leave, he heard her voice but he was too far gone to bring himself to responding to her words.

It was not until she had gotten almost half way through that he came back and somehow the need to just hold her and kiss her enveloped him.

Rushing there was for that but he later changed his mind and calmed down when he saw her close her eyes.

Although it was tempting, it was in no less calming just watching her face and taking in her beauty. He had to ask her to open her eyes before he did something he shouldn't.

And seeing her bring her face closer before she left, his heart skipped and he felt she was going to do it.

'Tsk… naughty girl.' He remarked inwardly before reaching up to gently brush the part where her lips contacted his cheek and smiled.

~Tang Zixin's Office~

The very next day came quickly than anticipated and Li Jing could not wait to start afresh.

In the big office, Tang Zixin is seen sitting down behind his office table and looking intently at some files piled up on his desk when a knock came in and his assistant's head popped in.'

Immediately she stepped in and close the door, she quickly informed him of the presence of someone very important.

"Sir, he is here."

"Oh, send him in then."

A minute later, a tall man in his late fifties walked into the office. Immediately Tang Zixin set his eyes on him, he stood up from his seat to go and welcome the man personally.

"Mr Lin Zian. Welcome." Both men shook their hands and Tang Zixin led him to his cushion to seat down.

He called for his assistant and both men were served with a glass of wine each and the bottle seated on the table in front of them.

"I am glad you could make it, sir. I trust your trip was okay?" Tang Zixin asked.

"Ah, Tang Zixin. Thank you very much for your hospitality." Mr Lin greeted before taking a sip of his wine.

"No need to thank me. It is the least I could do for stressing you it."

"No, nonsense. If I had a daughter or a son just like you, then I would have long handed over my company for him or her to take charge of."

"But your nephew's son, Lin Li Jun, what about him?"

"Well, Li Jun, although brilliant, he still has a lot he is lacking and needs to settle down to get things done properly. Let's just say he hasn't gotten to the point where I can leave the company in his hands."

"That is sad. You need it. Grandma left and let my dad continue before I did."

"I know. She was a formidable businesswoman and a great judge of character," Mr Lin Zain acknowledged Grandma Tang Jiaye's person.

"It really is such a sad thing that she left us. I still had a lot to learn under her."

"In as much as that may be true, that isn't entirely true. You make a fine gentleman Tang Zixin. I am sure she would be mega glad."

As they chatted on about the small things, trying to catch up before it was time for the meeting proper, Tang Zixin decided to check the news while they conversed to give them so much more to talk about.

Just then, the news about Li Jing and Ye Cheng with the picture of them looking deeply int each other's eyes came up on the news as once again, Ying Yue had outdone herself taking the perfect pose of the two couples in denial.

Both men froze and looked at the screen with unblinking eyes and unwavering attention as the newscaster went on.

Apparently, her name was being revealed to the public this time around as Ying Yue did so much too describe how, from her elegance and mannerism to her friendly she was.

"Li Jing." Tang Zixin's face dulled upon seeing her other pictures with Ye Cheng. It was like a scandal that blew so fast but Ye Cheng had no idea how to fix it.

"Wait, hold on," Mr Lin quickly said before he adverted his gaze away and looked at Tang Zixin.

"That necklace. Wait, you seem to know her. Who is she?" Mr Lin asked.

"She is a friend. She stayed with grandma Jiaye for some time." Tang Zixin quickly informed him about how he knew and met Li Jing.

"Really?" The older man seemed to be in shock with how the news was going. This was unbelievable to him.

He did not know Li Jing but the necklace she wore was something he knew.

"Why? Anything the matter Mr Lin?" He did not respond to Tang Zixin and just stared ahead in silence. "Mr Lin!"
