Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 157 - Rescued: Angry Ye Cheng

*********

CHAPTER 157

"I..." Before she could respond, she heard the elevator noise click and then someone shouted her name.

"Li Jing!"

Instinctively, she and the man standing at her side turned their heads in the direction in which she was called.

Her eyes locked with the one person she was dreading to meet at that point. "Ye..."

She did not get to speak completely when he got to her side and pulled her to him, hugging her closely.

After some minutes of hugging her, he pulled back and looked deeply into her eyes before speaking. "You scared me, Li Jing. Why didn’t you leave when you had the chance?"

"I am sorry."

"Li Jing!"

**Glass shatters**

That was the thought that went through her mind the moment her eyes made contact with his worried but cold expression.

It was not until he called out her name loudly that he broke her out of her reverie. She blinked twice, trying to get back to reality only to see an angry Ye Cheng standing in front of her.

"Good morning sir," the strawberry blonde haired boy stranding by her side quickly greeted his boss the moment Ye Cheng got to where they were.

Ye Cheng did not reply his greetings but looked sternly at the maddening stubborn woman in front of him. Up until now, she did not say anything other than stare at him with wide puppy scared eyes.

He wanted to scroll and shout the heavens down at her but just looking at her, he could not. Well, not in the lobby at least. He needed somewhere more private where eyes wouldn’t be on her just in case she burst into tears.

With that thought set in place, Ye Cheng held her hand and took a step, turning to face the elevator.

The strawberry blonde haired boy saw this and knew she was in for some yelling and scolding. Obviously it was not what a dazed person needed at this moment.

It was obvious Li Jing still had not come out of her shock and did not need any more traumatic experience.

"Sir, she is still in shock, I do not think..."

"Who asked you to speak?" His cold voice rang out, freezing the by in place with his domineering aura. "Why are you still standing here?"

"I am sorry sir, I would get going now." The worker quickly apologized then took one look at Li Jing before scurrying away like he was being chased by a wild deer.

With that settled, he peeled his gaze off the disappearing worker and let his eyes settle in on her troubled, disturbed, fearful face.

’Damn woman!’ He cursed within then pulled her along with him taking her to the elevator.

Minutes later they were storming their way back to his office and when Han Qing Qing noticed it, she could only smile at the couple thinking they were having a lover’s fight.

Once inside, Ye Cheng closed the door and made his way to the chairs in front of his table and let go of her hand before moving towards his seat.

He picked up the telephone again and placed a call to the head of security. "I would deduct from your salaries if that riot is not cleared within the next two minutes."

"Got it sir."

He dropped the telephone and looked up at her. By now she was better than before as her fear was starting to dwindle better than before.

"How could you do this? No, that is not even what I should say to you. Why the hell did you do this?"

"I am sorry," Li Jing apologized quietly.

"Sorry is not good enough. Do you know how much you risked your life out there? Why didn’t Hua Duyi drop you off close to the front doors so you can easily enter without them noticing you?"

Li Jing could not speak. His words left her tongue tied. How was she supposed to tell him that all these happened because she ditched her driver at the super market and came on her own.

"Oh, you do not want to answer? Fine. I would call him myself." Ye Cheng picked up his phone from the table and unlocked the screen only for him to be greeted by five missed calls and a text message all from Hua Duyi.

His brows furrowed and his eyes squinted at the screen. He had not heard the phone ring all these while due to the fact that he put it on silent mode and focused on the work he needed to get done for the January Bidding proposal.

His eyes left his phone and fell on Li Jing who was staring down at the ground, refusing to look in the eyes.

He thought to check first on the message before calling Hua Duyi. As soon as he read the content, his already dissipating anger returned and his blood began to boil.

"How many times do I have to tell you this? The same thing over and over again! Why did you ditch Hua Duyi and came here on your own?"

"I just thought if I do not come in using the car, then they would not recognize me and I can sneak in without their notice easily," Li Jing explained defending her actions.

"And how did that play out for you?"

"Bad."

"Good, at least you got that right," he said calmly before going for the kill. "How could you just stand there and wait for them to turn you into their target throwing board? Do you have any idea how dangerous that was and what could have happened to you?"

That was it...

Hearing him scold her like that was okay but it had to stop at a point. She wasn’t all to blame for all these mishap happening.

It was not like it was her fans but his trying to kill her when she did nothing.

"Hey, stop blaming me. I wouldn’t have done that if I had no choice."

"What? Can you hear yourself? You had a choice. Stay in the car and be brought inside the company, simple!" He half yelled at her.

"No, I would not have to worry about my safety in the first place if you did not allow the news to go up."

~~~~~~

{Yayy! Li Jing is finally getting her emotions out and not allowing herself to be controlled. My baby is no longer the meek girl of before.

Who is happy?

Hmm, Ye Cheng we feel like beating u now for endangering our baby’s life like that... who is with me?
