Chapter 96 - Mysterious Fianancial Manager

CHAPTER 96

Ye Cheng would not lie. Never had he been insulted like that before and he was insulted for a girl he met barely up to two weeks ago.

'Ye Cheng!' he said to himself and mentally, shook his head.

"It is okay, Li Jing. He got what was coming to him. No man should insult a lady that way, no matter who or what she is."

From the corners of his eyes, he noticed her expression further dropped and he knew it was due to what he said.

"Wait, I do not mean I believe what he said about you being a whore. In the few days we have spent together, I knew you were none of those. The only thing was that you loved the wrong person."

"I know. I guess I was naïve and foolish to not see through his lies and my sister's deceit all these years."

"Do not blame yourself. One does not tell the heart whom to love, okay?"

"Hmm."

"Thank you for accompanying me. I know it did not go as you hoped and for that I am sorry, but I am glad you came."

"I should be the one apologizing and not you."

"It is all good."

He parked the car in front of the big building and turned his head to look at her.

"We are here."

"Thank you once more."

"Pleasure is mine."

He left the car and went to her side to open the door for her to come out and held her hand to assist her up.

Li Jing flashed him a smile and moved away from the car, so he could close the doors. "This is goodnight, I guess."

"Yes. Drive safely back home."

"I will." For the last time, he took in her beauty and something struck a chord in him and he did not want to let her go again.

He felt like staying a little while longer with her and hoped she would invite him in for a cup of coffee but Li Jing looked away from him as she was feeling shy from his gaze.

A few minutes passed and neither of them said anything to each other. Her palm started getting sweaty where their hands joined and he could tell her nervousness was kicking in.

"Okay, goodbye."

"Yes, goodbye." Li Jing replied softly and raised her head to look at him only to see him leaning close to her.

Her heart began to thud loudly in her chest with each second that went by.

Badum! Badum!

She did not know what he wanted to do and could only watch in anticipation. Ye Cheng reached up and pulled the loose strand of her hair off her face, tucking it behind her ear.

"That's better. You should go up now. It is not safe outside. I do not want anyone attacking you."

Seeing that he did not do anything, Li Jing released the breath she was holding and found her lost voice.

"They won't because I am heading up now. Bye."

Just like that, she turned away and left him. He had wanted to hug her there and then to pet her for her hurt but decided against it and instead brush her loosed strand away.

He waited and watched her till she disappeared upstairs before he entered his car and drove away.

By Monday, the news about Li Jing being Ye Cheng's financial manager circulated all over the news and on the internet.

At first, when Ye Cheng did not see anything concerning his outing on Friday night on the news, he thought she may not have seen any need to publish it.

Apparently, Ying Yue had some minor delay and he published it the next day. Just as she had thought, it was quite the news that blew the net and headlines.

"Ye Cheng and the mysterious finance manager! Judging from the affectionate way her hands was held, can we really say she is just his manager or there is something else going on between the two of them?"

A lady sat down in her living room and read the news on her phone. It was one news that was blowing the headlines as various comments and remarks flew all over the place on Ying Yue's personal blog.

People were asking her who the lady was and what really was the relationship between her and Ye Cheng.

Some praised Li Jing for her beautiful looks while some angry ones cursed at her due to jealousy, others cried at the situation tat their Ye Cheng was going to be taken away from them by another lady.

"Oh my God! Ying Yue has upgraded her game. She could get a picture of Ye Cheng!"

"He looks so cute!"

"He is divinely handsome."

"I must marry him."

"They look so cute together."

"I wish I was in her shoes."

"How can Ye Cheng do this to me?"

"I feel like stabbing her because she got to have Ye Cheng hold her. But I am also shipping them. They are so lovely!"

"When are we expecting a wedding and possibly a small Ye Cheng? I have a baby daughter!"

As she read, the comments further angered her.

"They look so good together? How dare she!" The lady yelled and used her phone to stone the wall close to her.

Her chest heaved up and down from her rage and her eyes became maddening red.

Immediately after her outburst, several maids rushed in, thinking more damage was done and in hopes of clearing it away but when they saw that it was the young lady's phone, they backed away to a corner and waited for her to finish with her outbursts.

It was a common thing for the young lady for the house and they were already used to it.

At the same time, a tall elderly man walked into the living room to see the young miss having a fit.

"What is going on here?"

"Grandfather!"

"My baby, what is the matter?"

"Arrghhhhh!!" she stomped her feet ceaselessly like an angry child as she stalked closer to where her grandfather stood with tears threatening to spill.

"Just who is this new girl?"

"What new girl?"

"Check the news, grandfather, the girl with Ye Cheng."
