Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

***********

CHAPTER 373

"Tsk, I see my hubby is not only good in making deals in business but also good with deals in other areas. Bravo."

Ye Cheng did not know whether his wife was making fun or she was actually praising him.

As if sensing his doubts, Li Jing smiled at him. "Relax, honey. I am actually praising you."

"Wow."

"What?"

"Well what you said."

"What did I say?" Li Jing was confused. She did not see what was said that actually warranted him to be wowed.

"It is quite simple actually. I actually thought that you would be mad at me for doing so."

"Umm talking about that, indeed I was not so happy that I was used as bargaining chip; but then I see your business sense in it. You actually going more out of it than he did."

"Well my baby is priceless. Not just anyone can talk to you like that."

"Hahhaa. When you put it like that you make it seem as though I am one celebrity that people can't reach."

"Exactly because if you do not know dearie, you are. Your husband is that celebrity and as my wife you enjoy all of that as well. It isn't easy to trap the heart of the number one CEO in this country, so by all means, please you deserve it."

At that moment, Li Jing felt both proud and happy at the same time. It wasn't easy though but she wasn't after that.

After all what use was all the wealth, power and respect without having the one main thing, love?

Her lips pulled upwards into a smile and she leaned forward to whisper something to him. Seeing this, Ye Cheng leaned closer too. "Naughty hubby. Thanks, I am happy though. I love you and by this I love the you, Michael and not your title or your riches."

"If you are, then shouldn't I get a kiss?"

"Sigh. Aren't you too eager for a kiss? We just made up, you know."

"Exactly why I get to kiss you every minute of the day," Ye Cheng stated firmly like they were having one serious conversation. Although it was serious, but it was not to that point for him to give such a face.

"What! My lips are going to definitely be swollen and Yin Lifen would mock the life out of me."

"Tsk, you should only bother about what I your hubby would say and not what your friend would or anyone else. You are my wife not theirs."

Li Jing rolled her eyes at him and then pinched him a bit on his cheek, pulling the skin with her fingers.

"Ouch!"

'Calm down, it isn't painful. Hmm."

"What are you…?" Just before Ye Cheng got the chance to complain, Li Jing made a move and kissed him on the lips.

He was shocked by the recent development but as quickly as it came, he changed his body with it. Quickly, Li Jing sneaked her tongue into his mouth while he was yet startled and poked his own tongue with hers.

Although brief, she was just tempting the sleeping dragon and just before she got the chance to pull her head away, Ye Cheng snaked his right hand to the back of her head and kept her in place while he fought back with his tongue and dominated hers, prolonging the kiss longer than she had intended it to be.

"Aauumm…" It took some seconds but they stopped after. Li Jing was left breathless by the short, powerful, intriguing kiss.

Her cheeks began to change colour into a faint red, showing how much she enjoyed the kiss that she blushed from it.

"That's my girl. Blush for me only. I see you enjoyed every bit of it, eh?"

She could not answer. Unfortunately their little play of love had attracted the attention of the others dining with them and before she knew it stares from all round the table lingered on them, making her want to dig a hole and hide.

It was why she disliked public display of affection. "Be proud and do not hide," Ye Cheng whispered to her before she leaned back into her seat, wishing the chair would help her in her plea since the ground did not want to yield.

"I want to do this to you more in the future."

"Why?" Li Jing asked quietly but her hubby heard her clearly.

"To prove to everyone that I stole the rare gem everyone was fighting or would beat me up for."

"Now, where is that food. I know my love I starving. Just you watch, I would make sure you are treated with utmost care and caution."

'Good evening sir, ma." The waiter dipped his head on and smiled at them before beginning to serve them their meal and once he was done, the table was perfectly full with a rose and a note for Li Jing.

"Seriously now? Tsk, that Rong never learns. Anyway, read it let me hear."

"Alright but no getting angry, promise."

'I won't get angry over this, enjoy. You are a very beautiful lady so I should be prepared for worse in future."

She was glad he said so, meaning his friend was safe in his hands. "Here we go." Opening the note, she read out loud. "I hope you enjoy your dinner and its desserts. Do not worry, eat to the fullest, I have arranged that the others be sent to your home. Oh and Michael is lucky to have such a b ride as you. Happy married life."

Li Jing's smile all through the process of reading it was genuine and full of joy. She was glad to have received her first marriage gift from one of his friends. It meant a lot to her that they were in support of their union.

"Wow, he tried." Even Ye Cheng was pleased by his well-written note. Wearing a pleasing smile he called her name softly.

"I would say this again. I love you. You are my queen and the reason I live. Be mine forever, love."

Li Jing returned his smile and reached for his hand. Ye Cheng did not pull back but allowed her the freedom to do that which she wanted to do. With their palms joined, she gave him her reply. "I am yours and you are mine forever."

"Thanks love. I would forever honour this promise."

"As will I."
