Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 70 - Your Way Of Thinking

CHAPTER 70

"Mr Choi! Arghh! Don’t cut the call. What is the meaning of all this? Li Jing, Li Jing, why have you become a thorn in my flesh?"

Li Xiu was becoming crazy with the whole issue that she felt as though she should rip everything apart into shreds.

It was at this point that Ding Jiaying walked into the living room and met her daughter in her divastated state.

"Li Xiu! What is going on?"

"MOTHER! Li Jing!"

"What is wrong? What did Li Jing do to you again?" Ding Jiaying asked her daughter.

"Mother, what did I ever do to deserve all these from a girl? Can she not leave my life alone? Since she came into our lives, everything changed. First it was father that changed and drifted away, now... arghh!"

In anger she threw her glass cup away and it shattered to pieces, causing her mother to jolt up from the shock.

"Li Xiu!"

"I am tired mother. I want her out of my life for good."

"Li Xiu."

~Shadowy Meadow Restaurant~

By the next day, Li Jing honored her words and went to see Tang Zixin at the restaurant he picked.

Upon seeing her, his worried face lit up and he rose up from his seat to welcome her warmly.

"Li Jing, welcome dear.’

"Hello, Tang Zixin.’

He moved in close and gave her a light peck on her cheeks before gesturing her to sit down by pulling a chair out for her like the perfect gentleman that he was.

"Thank you." Her enchanting smile never left her face as she gracefully sat down and waited for him to take a seat too.

"You look beautiful this afternoon, Li Jing."

"Thank you. You yourself look good too," Li Jing said, returning his compliment.

It was not that she wanted to be flattered, in actual truth Tang Zixin did not just look good but he was die hard handsome, only second to Ye Cheng.

He was a tall young man, with nice facial features that put even most girls to shame. He had a sexy well-structured chiseled chest, well defined abs that she felt when he leaned close to give her a peck on cheek.

Subconsciously, she reached her hands up and ended up touching his abs by mistake and that was when she felt those well-defined abs.

This singular act of mistake had left Li Jing slightly flushed from the contact and her mind decided to take her down memory lane to the guy with the most muscular, structured abs, Ye Cheng.

’Li Jing, get a grip of yourself. You are out in public, stop flushing like a virgin teenager. He would think it otherwise.’ Li Jing scolded herself.

This was the best she could do right now as it would be mega embarrassing if he saw her that way.

"How have you been these days?"

"Fine. I have been okay. Sorry I cause you so much of worry," Li Jing sincerely apologized.

She can see the look of concern in his eyes and felt troubled that she was the cause of it. The last thing she wanted was troubling people and now, she just did someone who is rich, mighty and definitely a busy person.

"That is good. I am happy you are fine. If not I would not be able to face Grandmother when the time comes." Although he sounded serious, but the smile that graced his face told her a different tale.

"I understand. Grandma Jiaye would pardon you. If there is anything, I should be the one apologizing you for destroying the house."

Her face dropped after her mild confession. She was indeed feeling guilty and blaming herself for the situation.

Irrespective of how sad she was, she still looked beautiful. Tang Zixin stretched his right hand and placed it over hers, nearly causing her a mini heart attack. Slowly, she raised her head to look at him.

"It is okay. Do not blame yourself. Whatever happened in past has happened already. There is nothing your worrying too much can do or change. What I am more concerned about is where you are staying. How safe are you?"

Honestly speaking, Li Jing could not understand this guy one bit.

He really should be angry or at least be asking her about what had really happened and probably should be scared if she was dangerous but instead he did no such thing.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tang Zixin asked her as he studied her face.

"Why are you not bothered about the raid and what caused it?" In as much as she wanted to hide her thoughts from him, she felt the need to let it out as to come out the strangeness in the atmosphere.

All through the night, she had been thinking of how to explain her situation to him if he asked about what happened.

And despite lot of thinking she was not able to come up with any coherent way to explain to him without looking stupid and making him worry more.

Besides, she was not allowed to actually let anyone know about Ye Cheng and the whole raid and stuff. At least not yet.

"If I ask, would you tell me?" Tang Zixin’s voice broke her from her train of thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Li Jing it is simple. I know if I do ask you, you would find it hard to tell me, right?"

"Yes, but... still, you should ask."

Tang Zixin lightly chuckled and relaxed his back on the chair. "Why do you think I have not asked you?"

"You did an investigation?" Li Jing arched her brows at him as she tilted her head to the side.

She wasn’t so sure and everything was based on a guess.

"I like your way of thinking. You are brilliant. Yes, I did."

Tang Zixin did not hide the fact that he investigated to her and just said everything bluntly.

Unknownst to Li Jing he have been studying her every move and actions since she came and prior to that and before all these incidents happened or before he even saw her, he had done his investigation about her.

All these had happened when his Grandmother first mentioned Li Jing to him.
