Chapter 234 - Office: Meeting You Again

*********

CHAPTER 234

Mr Lin lead Li Jing to where his car was and the two of them left the place. On their way home, he noticed that Li Jing was particularly quiet and decided to find out what was bothering her.

"My jewel, what is wrong? Why are you so gloomy and down all of a sudden?" Li Jing did not say anything. She just wasn’t happy that her mother was insulted. "Is it because of that idiot?"

A small smile appeared on Li Jing’s face at his word. Yes Yang Yan Mei deserved all the insult she could get but she was not her problem one bit.

"Well, I am not happy mother was insulted."

"Do not take the things of what people like her say to heart. She doesn’t know anything and she speaking like that is proof that she can never get anywhere in life."

Li Jing raised her brows at her grandfather. "I would explain," Mr Lin informed her when he noticed the look she gave him.

"You see, child, I advise you, hold everything in life like this." He brought out a pen from his trouser pocket and held it with the tip of his fingers.

Li Jing did not understand it fully but waited to hear more from him.

"When you take things in life like this, the way I held this pen uh..."

"Yes, I am listening."

"Good, if anything or anyone is meant to leave and you hold on to it tight, you would only end up hurting yourself. If it is meant to go, let it go and do not hold on tight. When you take things in life this way, you would be able to live well. There are things you cannot change, so stop holding on to those things and move on with your life. Let them go."

"But you didn’t let mother and I go."

"Exactly. I had hope and it was important. She was my life and who I lived for. But for situations like this where she was slandering you, let it go. Do not take those words to heart. Her words or what anyone says about you do not define you, dearie. You are who you are and who you say you would be, no one can define you."

His words had really made sense and touched her. It was high time she stopped taking siome things to heart and let them be. No matter what her sister and moither said, it never defined her still.

She still became the perfect little nice girl, who was kind and loved by those who got close to know her for who she was.

"Thank you gramps. I really appreciate."

"Anything for my grandchild child."

Days went by and work resumed. Ye Cheng had been busy with preparations for the start of a new year with the company and did not see Li Jing for some time.

The next time they met was at work on a Monday morning at the 4th day of the month. As usual, Ye Cheng arrived first followed by Li Jing. Hua Duiyi was still sent to pick her from home.

To Li Jing this was the day she would tell him about her grandfather’s plans to relocate her to his city and for her to take over the business from then.

"Good morning ma," Li Jing’s assistant greeted her immediately she got close to her door.

"Good morning. Happy new year."

"Same to you ma." Li Jing smiled at her and was about taking a step towards her office when her assistant called her attention to the task at hand. "Ma, please the boss left you a message."

"Oh, he did."

"Yes. He wants you to come to his office immediately you arrive."

"Okay. I would drop my bags and do that, thank you."

"No problem ma."

Li Jing let out a soft sigh. He was at it again. He just did not let his habit go with the past year.

"Someone is becoming naughty this year, isn’t he?" She shook her head and entered her office.

Within five minutes she was already standing outside his door after exchanging pleasantries with Han Qing Qing.

Knock! Knock!

After knocking twice, Li Jing turned the door knob and walked in. Everything was still the way she had last seen it and even though it was just for a few weeks, it felt like it had been long since shew entered his office.

Right at the end of the office was a young man, leaning on his chair with legs crossed on the other and his fingers coming together in front of his face, forming a pyramid.

His brown eyes shone under the white light in the office, further illuminating his appearance and making him look like a celestial being clouded by the heavens.

A small smile appeared on her lips the moment their gaze met and so did he. Slowly he brought down his hands and watched as she took her time cat walking forward to meet him.

"Good morning, sir."

"Drop the formalities. Morning, Li Jing. How are you?"

"I am fine. You?"

"Great. Busy with work but other than that I am okay."

"I can see. You are back to your usual self."

"I thought I should make an entrance that someone would love it."

"I do and maybe I do not," Li Jing crossed her arms in front of her chest and arched her brows at him.

"Ahh, I see I did not make enough good impression as I thought I did." Ye Cheng stood up from his seat and walked over to where she stood in front of his work table.

"I guess I would have to do well and correct that wrong impression don’t I?" He stopped right in front of her and pulled her hands free then held her left hand and entwined their fingers.

All through his beautiful endeavor in changing her mind, he kept his eyes glued to hers with a smile that drove ladies wild proudly displaying on his face.

Raising their joined fingers, he pulled Li Jing closer to himself, letting their bodies collide with no space between them.

Her smile never diminished and he loved that even more as her eyes pulled him in, bringing him closer and wanting to be drowned in them forever.

Their faces inched closer to complete the ensemble and join what felt and unspoken. With faces touching and lips barely apart from each other, Ye Cheng pushed closer for the kiss that was meant to be.

Knock! Knoick!

The next thing they knew a knock came on the door twice and as soon as they pulled their heads back and eyes still staring intot he other, the door pushed open with Yi Wang lei walking into the office.

"Oh my! Sorry to interrupt," Yi Wang Lei apologized and was about going back when Ye Cheng let Li Jing go and stepped back from her.

"Don’t." Yi Wang Lei stopped and waited to get further instructions from his boss and friend.

"I’m sorry." He apologized to Li Jing and cleared his throat. "Come in, Wang Lei." He gave Li Jing a tight lipped smile and went back to his seat. "Please seat guys."

Both of them took their seat next to each other after exchanging pleasantries before facing the guy of the day.

Of course, Li Jing was mega shy of being caught like that almost doing such in an office. Regardless, she tried her very best to hide her blush and not think about it.

After all it was Yi Wang Lei who walked in on them. Sand it wasn’t like he didn’t give them a warning by knocking but they were so caught in the moment that they did not bother with iot and just continued what they were doing, which was nothing much.

"So, Yi Wang lei, what documents do you need my inputs on?" Ye Cheng had asked just to clear the awkward air as no one seemed to be saying anything at the moment other than just smile at themselves.

"Ahh yes. We would need to preview a part of the bidding proposal before we kick off with everything. I came to meet you for something that wasn’t particularly clear. I just did not know I came at a wrong time."

"It wasn’t a wrong time, Wang Lei."

"Umm, well..."

"It wasn’t anything. Nothing happened."

"And that was because I interrupted what should have been."

"Would you just quiet it? You are going to make her feel shy." As he spoke his gaze fell on Li Jing. She looked so cute with how her cheeks reddened from her blush.

Ahem!

Yi Wang Lei cleared his throat. It was obvious there was a great chemistry at play here.

"I am okay. No biggie!" Li Jing shook her head to clear her mind. "I think I should leave so you two can talk."

"NO!"
