CHAPTER 130

She did not know what to say to him and wondered how awkward things would be between them from that point onwards when she turned her head in his direction and watched as he looked so handsome with his eyes closed.

Subconsciously she began to wish she could watch him sleep like this for a long time and was shocked out of her wits when he suddenly spoke.

"Stop staring." His voice held no form of emotion in them. They were cold and so authoritative, pulling the hearer to his command and she gulped hard for the second time that day.

’I wasn’t staring," Li Jing quickly defended and returned he gaze to her former cherished prize, the road spread out in front of them.

He wanted to argue with her but that would only make her feel awkward and he knew it. "They drove on in silence till they got to her place and then left for his own home.

By the next morning, the picture was already on the social media pages and spreading amongst Ye Cheng’s fans.

Li Jing who did not have time for the gossips going on, on the net, most definitely left her phone off to prevent Luo Jinhai and Ye Cheng from calling her.

Never did her mind got to the fact that Luo Jinhai mentioning Ye Cheng’s name would make things a whole lot difficult with people around.

She was too engulfed in her thoughts all night that she chose to let her phone stay turned off than let it come on.

And when she got to the office, she was surprised by the stares she was getting from some of the workers with different gossips going on and angry glares flying her way.

This was definitely not what she wanted. Ignoring it, Li Jing made her way to her office but as soon as she got to where her assistant what, she left her seat and stood up close to her desk.

"Good morning ma."

"Good morning."

"Ma, the CEO left a message for you."

"What?"

"Yes. I was informed by Miss Han Qing Qing that you should check your voice mail when you arrive."

"Okay. Thank you."

When she was fully steeled, she decided to check her office phone for the so-called voicemail and when it played, she was not so shocked to hear Ye Cheng’s angry voice.

"Li Jing, the next time your phone is switched off, I would deduct from your salary. Come to my office at once."

Li Jing rolled her eyes at him and let out a sigh.

She was hoping that the day would pass away quickly without her seeing him. Apparently, the day had other things I store for her.

She left her seat and headed for his office after putting on her hone and seeing the unending messages from different people.

She got to Han Qing Qing’s table and walked over to her.

Noticing Li Jing approaching, she dropped her phone and looked at her sweetly with a bright smile on her lips.

Okay, that was weird for Li Jing who had only been getting negative vibes from others all morning and was now getting something else.

’Something sure is fishy.’ Li Jing thought. ’What has Ye Cheng done this time?’ She asked herself but still masked her suspicions with a smile.

"Good morning, Han Qing Qing."

"Morning Li Jing."

"You look particularly happy today. Anything interesting happened?" Li Jing asked trying to get her to let the cat out of the bag.

"And so are you. I am just normal but for yours, I can see a change. This was not the gloomy expression you wore yesterday."

And it backfired.

"Oh, it wasn’t? Haha I guess, I was just tired yesterday and now I am a bit relieved."

’Yeah to have gotten a kiss from our hot CEO.’ Han Qing Qing remarked inwardly.

"Anyways, he is looking for you."

"Yeah, and he had a funny way of doing that."

"I am sorry, but I supposed you are used to it or you would get used to it as the case may be."

"Hmm. I hope not."

"See you and please pacify him before he goes berserk on us."

"Why me?"

"I don’t know. Just go." Han Qing Qing shooed her off to meet the angry Ye Cheng.

’Weird.’ Li Jing remarked as she knocked on his door before entering.

Ye Cheng sat down in front of his desk with his hs hand on his chin and the other holding the handle of his chair and both legs crossed against each other.

The way he was seated staring at nothing made it seem like he had been thinking for a long time.

"Good morning." Li Jing greeted and waited for his response but that never came. She waited for some seconds more before she cleared her throat and that was when he turned his head in her direction.

"Li Jing."

"Good morning. You sent for me."

"Yes." She waited for him to tell her why he called but Ye Cheng still said nothing.

He was battling with how he was going to let her know about what happened and apologize to her when her eyes landed on the newspaper on his desk.

Because she was still far from hi stable, she could not exactly see what was on it. Ye Cheng caught her staring, trying to make out what it was when he decided to just apologize to her.

"I am sorry."

"Huh?" His apology made her return her gaze to his and look at him questioningly. "About what?"

’Does she really want to make me say it out loud?’ Ye Cheng questioned in his mind and gazed at her through his lashes.

When he saw her expression was unchanging that was when it dawned on him that since her phone was switched off, she may not even have any idea of what is going on.

’Li Jing. You would not stop surprising me.’

"Fine. I would tell you. Please have a seat."
