Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

**********

CHAPTER 235

Everything came like a shock to Li Jing when both men yelled 'No'. She was about to stand up but at their shout, she paused and gently relaxed back on the seat with wide, shocked-filled eyes.

"I'm sorry. We did not mean to scare you like that. It's just that…"

"Get out, Yi Wang Lei." Ye Cheng playfully ordered.

"Relax Li Jing. I mean we all are friends and I am happing if my buddy is happy. I am sorry for intruding and yelling. I would come back later. It would be rude of me considering you were here first. So I would be leaving you two love birds alone now."

"Yi Wang Lei!"

"Calm down bro. See you in an hour. Li Jing, catch you later." Without wasting time, he winked at Ye Cheng then excused himself.

As soon as he left the awkwardness about the whole situation set in. They did not know what to do. Li Jing specifically did not know what was going on in that naughty CEO's mind especially with the kind of smirk that was displayed on his face.

After some time of just staring at nothing, Li Jing returned her gaze back to Ye Cheng and saw him brush the back of his palm against his lips before beckoning on her to come.

Feeling lost, Li Jing arched her brows at him, silently asking him if she was the one he was talking to.

"Come."

"No, I'll pass. I am good with where I am."

"You disobedient naughty girl, I am calling you."

"Okay then. If you want to play that game. You come here.'

'EXCUSE ME!"

"You heard me, Ye Cheng. You come."

At first, Li Jing felt that he was going to get offended by what she said, surprisingly that was not the case. He did not feel it one bit.

His smile broadened, carrying with it that dangerous feel. His soulful brown eyes were the next as he narrowed them and they darkened in response to the mischievous smile adorning his perfect symmetrical, god-like face.

Li Jing felt a chill run down her spine at the coldness that followed his dangerous look. He was back to the same old self that barely had any smile and felt like it could freeze anyone in the place.

She could feel goosebumps starting to appear on her skin and knew that whatever thought ran through his mind as at that moment was not anything good.

Instinctively, Li Jing pushed the chair backward and was about standing to escape the devil himself before his predatory act begun.

She lifted herself effortlessly a bit from her seat and was getting up well, when Ye Cheng pushed his own office chair back and quickly went to occupy Yi Wang Lei's chair, but made sure he turned it so he was facing her.

"Li Jing."

Li Jing pretended not to hear him clearly at first but Ye Cheng was too smart for that. My love." This time around he mentioned it softly. He was trying to see if she was indeed going to hear or she couldn't then he would assume it was a mistake."

"Huh? What did you say, Ye Cheng?" She looked so innocent with beautiful round eyes.

"Never mind." He stood up on his feet and with her hand in his, he guided her to stand as well. All through, Li Jing's eyes searched his for a clue as to what was about to happen but she found none.

Rather his penetrating gaze seemed to freeze her on the spot. After trying to guess and failing, Li Jing resigned herself to her situation and waited for his lead.

He led her to his adjourning parlor in his office and made her seat on one of the leather chairs and sat back down with her.

"Li Jing, I am sorry for earlier on. I know right now I ended up making a terrible impression, didn't I?

Her lips tugged up into a perfect smile briefly before replying to his statement. "Not really. It was fun though. An embarrassing fun."

Sigh! Come on Li Jing.

Her heart leaped for joy deep inside her. She did not know why but being there with him was more than enough to make her happy even though they did not do anything.

Ye Cheng returned her smile before pulling her closer and allowing her to rest her head on his shoulders and leaning back against the chair.

He reached for her hair and gently brushed it. It was supposed to be wrong, doing this in the office but it was his office, so he just did not care.

These few days they had not seen had made him miss her so much. He missed her cute face, her stubborn attitude, her blushing, embarrassed self and he missed looking for her trouble.

A lot of things just did not seem okay but it was the new year and he needed to plan well for his company and make sure he rooted out any scum that was a monitoring device for his enemies.

"Things may be tough and work would be harder this year, Li Jing," Ye Cheng said out of the blue causing her smiling face to drop.

"Yes, about that. There is something I need to speak to you about."

"Okay. I am all ears." He bent his head down to hers and kissed her hair while taking a sniff of her hair and smiling at how relaxing it made him feel.

He was no longer worried again. She was here and safe. He was feeling bad that there was another scandal to affect her and she was not there but he was also still glad her grandfather was there to protect her.

And in as much as he wanted to go to her the next day and check in on her, his workload was too much. Besides, he knew himself, he would find it hard to leave her side if he did. That was why he waited till Monday when he could see her at work.
