Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

***********

CHAPTER 237

Li Jing followed suit and closed her eyes with him, allowing her senses to melt into the kiss and feel all that it brought with her.

A little while later, they pulled back, lips apart but their foreheads remained joined together.

Everything felt just right where Li Jing was. It felt as though that was where she was meant to be. Every other thing mattered not, only that moment with him that mattered.

"Happy new year and welcome to work, babe."

"Thanks. Same to you."

"Come." He disengaged from her and helped her sit back up, before pulling her close to him. "I just want you to please stay like this. Even if it is just for a few minutes."

"Okay, CEO. Your time is remaining 25 minutes."

"What? I have barely spent two minutes and you say…" He paused to look at her carefully. "You are beginning to be cunny. I wonder who really is spoiling you, Li Jing?"

"Take a wild guess."

"Yin Lifen?"

"Umm, close but not quite. Guess again."

"Is it your loving dovely, Luo Jinhai?"

"Really now?"

"Or is it your new lover crush, Tang Zixin?" Li Jing could clearly feel the jealousy from his words. She wanted to laugh as it did not make one bit of sense for him to be jealous.

Ever since she kissed Duan Tian for the first time in her life, it had only been the nuisance and Ye Cheng she had kissed. So why then was he getting jealous over nothing?"

"No. Your guesses were terribly wrong."

"Then who?"

"Urghh!" Li Jing pulled away from him and threw her hands in the air in total surrender. "You want to know who?"

"Yes. Tell me, but don't move away from me." Li Jing did not have time to register what he had said when Ye Cheng held one of her hands and pulled her back on his chest then fell backward to relax.

"Speak. You can converse this way."

She felt mushed against his broad muscular chest but at the same time, she felt relaxed and calm. She still could not explain why he made her feel this way.

If it was love or just him being caring and not really putting his feelings at play or at stake here. In as much as she wanted someone to love her, Li Jing was scared of taking that risks and loving someone again.

She managed to stay still but when she found oiut that even breathing became a problem somewhat, she pushed up on her arms with both hands on either side of Ye Cheng, straddling him.

"It is none other, that you, Ye Cheng. You are the one spoiling me."

"Me?"

"Yes, you."

"It couldn't be."

"Then who?" Li Jing countered back.

"You. You are the one spoiling yourself and I like it so very much." At his last words, a small poker smile appeared on her cheeks.

"I want to be stronger and not be stepped on by those who hate me.

"And you would be. I have faith in you. I would always be by your side to guide you and teach you and help you get stronger."

"Thanks." Rather than being happy about what was just said, Li Jing's smile dropped and she tightened her grip on his suit, causing a wrinkle at the affected part.

"Li Jing, what is wrong? Tell me?"

"Ye Cheng…" She let out a soft sigh and swallowed. "It is nothing." Hed was not buying that.

Ye Cheng turned her so she was facing him and looking into his eyes. "Li Jing, you cannot tell me nothing. I know something is very wrong. You are hiding something from me. Please talk to me. What is weighing you down? Let me be of help to you."

"You can't. You just cannot be of help," Li Jing said. She moved his hands away from her shoulders and stood up. "You can't."

"How, try me? Let me be the judge of that, Li Jing."

She did not know what to say or how to refuse him. He was going to know one way or the other, right? So why waste time and delay the inevitable?"

Even after knowing that, it still wasn't an easy thing to do. She knew the information she was going to give him was definitely going to break and weigh him down.

She hated being the bearer of bad news especially with where their friendship was beginning to grow.

No normal friendship would be based on kissing of the other party. Both of them were attracted to each other and that was a fact but they were too hurt to admit their feelings and take the risk.

Regardless, Li Jing kept an open mind about it.

"I'm sorry Ye Cheng but what I want to tell you about, I wish there was some other way."

"You are scaring me, Li Jing. Baby, what is the matter?"

"First, I am not your baby." Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at her when she said that and placed her hands on her waist, looking all stern and strict. "Secondly," She dropped her hands and relaxed her expression. "I am sorry to scare you and you probably should be."

Ye Cheng face changed from a playful one to that of a serious, business, minded man's expression. He knew that what she was about to say would carry weight and for that, he threw all manner of joke aside and focused for her sake.

Li Jing shifted where she stood and took in several deep breaths to calm herself down and prepare for the inevitable, inevitable.

"I am happy being with you and around you, Cheng but then with the way things have changed, I regret to inform you that starting from next month, I would no longer be working here."

GBAGHAN!

WOO HOOO WOOHOO!
