Chapter 588 - Big Baby

CHAPTER 588
As soon as Li Jing got into her car and drove off, she got a call from her grandfather and quickly answered it.
"Hello, Gramps."
"Hey, young lady. So please do tell me that you have tried or you are on your way."
"Where's the spirit granddad? Do you trust me or do you trust me?" she giggled at her own phrase.
Catchy true but now wasn't the time for fun.
"Umm, let's see. It depends on what I trust you on. You are much too good, so I wouldn't know."
"Ouchie. I feel so bad. So you do not trust that your magnificent granddaughter can pull a thing off like a villain."
"Exactly my point," he half yelled into the phone, causing Li Jing to cringe.
"Now that really hurt my feelings," she confessed.
"I am sorry darling but that is exactly what I am saying. You may act as though you can but you ain't cut out for it. Villan, meh, please. You are a goody two-shoes."
"Oh, is that so? I guess I really have been all too good. Well, now I have decided to turn a new leaf. No going back. All the villains in my life I am going to be a villainess that would hunt you down."
"Umm, why tell me, yell it out to the world to hear."
"I would have grams, but baby girl is driving and what did we say about this?"
Safety first and then every other thing can follow," he voiced out reluctantly with her in unison.
"My point exactly. Now have a little faith in me."
"Okay. The fact that you are driving could mean you have either gone there r you have not and you are on your way to."
"Pff, well I went."
"Oh my!"
"Wait, gramps. Just because I look like a softie doesn't mean I am one. Hmm."
"I know it is a good thing that I am not watching you because ur level of dramatism is on a whole new level. Oh and you cannot get mad, I am not there."
"Fine but trust me, I have my ways."
"If you say so."
"Yeah. Anyways don't you want to know what happened?"
"I don't know, seeing as you have not said anything yet."
"Oh please gramps. Have confidence in me some more."
"Fine. My apologies. So how did it go?"
"Hmm, well what can I say? My foster father, Lin Chun wasn't home."
"What?"
"I am not surprised. It is a usual occurrence. He is always on the move. He was never always home. He travels a lot."
"Whoa whoa, wait a minute. Is his business doing so well? How come he is travelling so much or is it that he has another business in a different state or country?"
"Honestly, gramps, I do not know but that was how we grew up and think it is one of the reasons the mother and daughter duo hates me."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You see, on one or two occasions when Ding Jiaying was angry, she would usually take it out on me and then voice out that before I was brought into their family, Li Chun wasn't like this but after I came, he started travelling always."
"Hmm, interesting."
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Yes. You do not understand, Li Jing. His attitude changed when you came. He most definitely knows something."
"Well, that is it. Until we meet. I would have some people check on them and when he returns, I would go see him."
"Alright. No worries. Now we know that there is a lead. But know this, he may not necessarily talk, you know. I just know he is hiding something."
"It is alright. I am patient to some extent."
"Alright, dear. Be good."
"Okay. Oh, we were hoping to go out this weekend and we wanted to take Li An and you with us."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. So, would you come along?"
"Umm, tomorrow, tomorrow is what?"
"Saturday gramps."
"Oh yes. Okay, I would be very much available. Time and place?"
"Umm, would have to get back to you on that one. It is all Ye Cheng's idea."
"Okay. I expect everything latest tomorrow morning."
***
Owing to how things were going, by the end of the day, Yi Wang Lei returned to Ye Cheng's office with the proof of the file he asked for with a sad face.
Only for him to find out that Ye Cheng had left.
"Han Qing Qing," he looked a bit perplexed seeing her pack her bags, ready to go home.
"Oh, sir. Good evening sir."
"Evening. Where to in such a hurry?" his graze trailed off from her face to her bag to emphasize his point.
"It is already 6 pm sir. I THINK IT IS HIGH TIME I GO HOME."
'Oh really? 6, it sure looks like 5 pm."
"Even that is thirty minutes past closing time, sir."
'Yes. Do not mind me. Anyways, is Ye Cheng in?"
"What do you think?" Han Qing Qing folded her arms underneath her bosom to show emphasis.
"Well seeing that you are leaving, presume that eh si not in."
"Exactly. He left about thirty minutes ago."
"Alright."
'Any problem? Is there anything I need to keep for him?" Her gaze swept through the file in his hand and then back to his face.
"Umm, no. Not at all. It can wait."
"Alright then. If there is nothing else, I would be on my way."
"Yes. Shall we?"
Together both of them left the vicinity catching up on any little thing they could tak about.
All in all, Yi Wang Lei still wasn't happy. This was an important matter.
Was it that Ye Cheng forgot or what? He wished he did not forget at all, at least things would be much okay and he could use the weekend to plan well.
***
By the next day, just as they planned, Ye Cheng and Li Jing got ready, preparing for their outing. They had scheduled their day to be full of activities and at the end, have a little picnic with the family.
So Li Jing woke up earlier than usual to prepare the meals and side dishes.
"Hey babe, Ye Cheng called out, sneaking behind her to wrap his hands around her waist.
"Hey hon. Good morning. How was your night?"
"It was great untl one young lady decided to leave me alone I bed."
"Ohh, sorry dear. I needed to prepare this. By the way, have you sent granddad and mum the location?"
"Yes, I did a while back."
"Good then. Everything would be done in the next thirty minutes," Li Jing informed him still going about her business.
"Thirty minutes!"
She stopped what she was working on and turned around to see him. "Why te shout?"
"Thirty minutes is much to be away from you."
"Is someone nagging? Tsk you were away from me for hours yesterday and yet you didn't cry, why now is thirty minutes too much?"
"That was work and I had no choice. Secondly, I ran home quickly to meet you because I was missing you."
"Hmm, okay. Fine. Stay with me but no naughty disturbance," she warned him.
"You see, I wasn't even thinking in that direction. It shows that you are the one hoping I would do naughty," he smirked at her.
"Oh please. It is more or less like me taking adequate protection so I can concentrate."
'Whoa! Are you saying I do not let you concentrate?"
"Nope. I said nothing you heard wrong."
"Is that so?"
"Hmm," she nodded at him, smiling sheepishly because it was like she awakened the naughty side of her husband.
"Tsk, my love is naughty and now I need to teach you."
"Tah. No teaching in the kitchen. Anyone can walk in here."
"Oh, so that is your fear huh!"
"Nope. Stop being naughty, baby and let me work."
"Hmm." Rather than listening to her, he pushed closer to her body, holding her waist tighter as he brought his face down to hers to kiss her.
Surprisingly, rather than returning the kiss, Li Jing evaded his lips and tilted her head back.
His lips parted, his eyes opening up a bit as a silent oh sound escaped. After some seconds he smiled and then straightened himself.
"Did m love just refuse a kiss from me?"
"I need to prove to my baby that I am npot naughty. We can kiss later, but for now, work calls."
"But I want you."
"Ha!" She laughed a bit and amiled victoriousy at him. "I knew it. Now the truth has finally be said out. Boo hoo."
"What? It is only natural I want my wife. I hven't gotten my morning kiss yet she left me to a cold bed."
"Stop complaining. You have me to yourself all day lobg."
"Well not really. I am going to share you with your grandfather nd my mum."
"Not a bad idea you know."
"No. I want my kiss!" He feigned being angry and stamped his foot on the ground, only making Li Jing laugh some more.
"Big baby."
