Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 54 - Tang Zixin

CHAPTER 54

"You like?" Ye Cheng asked when he noticed her eyes move to and fro about the place.

"Hmm, yes. Thank you."

"That is good. You can go freshen up. I would crash here tonight if you do not mind?" Ye Cheng asked her.

"Nope. Thanks."

"Okay. Go and freshen up, you must be tired from your cooking earlier on."

At mention of her cooking, Li Jing’s already smiling face dropped suddenly.

He just had to remind her of her heart felt meal he rejected.

Although she tried to mask her disappointment, Ye Cheng still caught sight of it.

"I am sorry. I did not want you moving at night. It is still dangerous. You are my responsibility, Li Jing and besides, it would be sent here in no time. I would try your cooking."

Instantly, her face lit up at the sudden Jews.

’YES!!’

"Okay, if you say so. I would go take a bath now."

Not saying anything anymore, she made her way inside to freshen up.

By the time she was done, she got dressed and went to put on her new phone... Bloody iPhone 12. 😉😉

She switched it on and noticed he already bought a sin card as well. She connected to the internet and recovered her files from her Gmail.

By the time all her contacts came out, Li Jing thought of whom to call first.

Yes, Yin Lifen and probably Luo Jinhai who would have called her and maybe a few others.

But right now, her mind needed to inform just one person and that was none other than the first grandson of Grandma Tang Jiaye, Tang Zixin.

Tang Zixin was the wealthy CEO of the Tang Group. He had offered Li Jing his card to call him when she needed any help because of how good she was to his grandmother and how well Grandma Tang Jaiye talked of her.

Luckily for her, she had saved his phone number to her google account, so all she needed was to log in and all her contacts would be back.

Quickly, she searched out his contact and dialled it.

Ring!

After three rings, someone picked the call. "Hello?"

Immediately Li Jing heard his voice her heart stopped beating for a second.

She took in a slow and deep breath then exhaled slowly as well before speaking.

Up until now, Tang Zixin had not spoken, the silence from the other end of the phone made him hesitate in cutting the call.

Normally, he would have ended the call without a second thought, but from the breathing he felt he decided to wait.

"Hello," her soft voice came out and it somehow relaxed Tang Zixin further.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"It is Li Jing. The girl that visited Grandma Tang Jiaye."

His eyes popped open as the realization hit home. "Ohh, yes. I do remember. Li Jing. How are you? Where are you right now?" Tang Zixin asked her.

She could sense the rise in his tone and knew he was worried.

’Perhaps he has heard what happened. Dang! He must think me a folly for not calling him earlier.’ Li Jing thought to herself.

"Uhh..."

"Li Jing, do not lie to me. What really happened? Are you safe? Unarmed perhaps? Talk to me."

Tang Zixin shifted out on his seat as he felt his heartbeat rate increase.

He did not understand himself why he was acting like this, but when he saw it on the news, his heart jumped to his throat.

Perhaps it was the promise he made to his grandmother. He told her he wouldn’t let anything happen to her and he would aid her in whatever way possible.

That and her good nature he heard from his grandma made him cherish the young lady all the more.

Imagine the fear when he found out about the raid.

Li Jing who was frightened that he was going to scold her with regards to the damage the house incurred was total shocked out of her wits when he was rather more concerned for her health than the house.

It was after all his grandmother’s cherished possession.

"I am sorry. I do not know exactly, but the house got raided. Forgive me for destroying the house your grandmother loved."

Tang Zixin shook his head before replying her as though she could see him move his head.

"No, that is not the matter right now. What I am more concerned with his you. Please are you fine?"

"Yes, Mr. Tang Zixin. Thank you. I am sorry for making you worry so much."

"I told you, just call me Tang Zixin. I am glad you are alright. I would investigate the issue later. Where are you by the way?"

"Umm, I am safe now. I am at a friend’s place. You do not have to bother."

"No. I can arrange a new place for you to live in by the morrow. Just let me know around what district you would love to stay in."

"It is okay. I am fine. I do not want to... "

"Stop it. I would see you tomorrow. I need to make sure myself that you are fine and no excuses. I won’t be able to face my grandma in the future if I do not take care of you. You were supposed to call me so I have your number. Why are you hiding from me?"

"I am not hiding, Tang Zixin. I just was busy."

Tang Zixin leaned back into his seat and sighed. "Okay. Let us see tomorrow or next, please. Do take care of yourself till then, okay?"

"Yes. Thanks. Goodbye."

Beep!

"Sigh, Tang Zixin... Hmmm 🤔 he is as kind as grandma Tang Jiaye. Let me call Yin Lifen. I know she would be mega mad at me."

The phone had barely rung when Yin Lifen picked the call.

"Li Jing, oh my God. What happened to you? Why was your phone switched off? You had me worried."
