Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 37 - Crystal Restaurant

CHAPTER 37

Ye Cheng decided to do a quick scan of the whole house and check out for things that she might be lacking.

He would have thought the house needed rebranding or would just have her stay in one of his houses, but from the little he knew about her, she did not look like the kind of person who would want to accept help from others.

So he decided he would surprise her first with furnishing and equipping the house after he had left or better still tomorrow, he would send the list of things to Han Qing Qing and have her send someone she trusted or just a delivery boy to deliver the things to the house to Li Jing.

Although he thought doing it after he left would be great, he could not help that part of him that felt like seeing the look of shock on her face when the delivery came.

With his thought set in place, he drank his milk, did the dishes and took one of the apples in his hand, then proceeded for his tour of the hill house.

By the time he was done, it was already almost an hour. He did not have a pen and paper with him and did not want to enter her room to take one.

The last thing he wanted was letting her know he went through the whole house in her absence and making her suspicious.

Instead, he memorized it all and went back to the room he currently occupied and put on her laptop. He did not waste time in typing them on a word document and saving as a draft to his email, then wiping it off her laptop.

When his schemes and plans were done, he still had fifty-five minutes to go before he emailed Han Qing Qing.

With nothing more to do, he decided to browse through her pictures. Unfortunately, Li Jing did not keep her photos in her system. The ones there were all school and office work.

Bored he found himself checking out her videos for any film to watch. After scanning through the name his eyes locked on one.

"The fast and the fierce." His brows creased as he tried to search his memory for where he had heard a similar name before.

"Oh, that was Fast and Furious. Hmm, let’s see what this one is all about then." He clicked on the film and soon it started playing.

Back then when he went to study abroad, he wasn’t that much of a film watcher as he had to study and also handle their branch in the city he was in as a part of getting used to the family business before he finished his studies.

But on a few occasions, Hao Huizhong and Bai Qing Mei his closest friends would drag him out of his shell and make him follow them to the movies.

That was how he ended up watching Fast and Furious when every new part came out.

He settled himself well on the bed and placed a pillow at his back for better comfort. With the second apple in his hand, he began to watch his film.

When Li Jing was done with the phone repairs that took her longer than expected, Luo Jinhai took her to the restaurant where she and Yin Lifen would meet.

He had to leave her there on her own because he had been away from the company longer than he should have and bade Li Jing goodbye.

Li Jing was happy they had agreed on two hours because her phone repair ate up all the time, she would have been eaten up by the worried Yin Lifen if she had come late.

Speaking of Yin Lifen, just as Li Jing took a seat close to the window, so she could easily spot her friend when she came, Yin Lifen came down from her car and proceeded into the restaurant.

As soon as the doors to the restaurant opened and Yin Lifen entered, Li Jing raised her hand to indicate where she was.

Seeing her friend seated towards the far back with a bubbling expression on, she returned her smile and walked over to where she was.

"Hey babe," Yin Lifen greeted just as Li Jing got up to give her a hug.

"Hey." They hugged each other for some seconds before pulling apart. With hands still held, they both sat down opposite of each other, their huge smiles still plastered on their faces.

"How have you been, really?" Yin Lifen asked her, her face suddenly becoming serious.

"I have been okay. What about you?"

"Not been good."

"What! Why?"

"Because my baby has been sad," Yin Lifen confessed.

"Oh, I am not sad. In fact, I am happy to be free from their clutches and schemes."

"Whoever told you, you were free, Li Jing?" Yin Lifen asked her.
