CHAPTER 262

"Sigh. Yes you were right about it being fishy and if so that it is a test to check my capabilities, would you not want me to prove myself?"

Her question was direct and she made a strong point. Wouldn’t he want her to prove herself to her family? Would he want that she ignores them just so she could return to his side? No.

Hell no. She wasn’t going to live her life in anyone’s shadow’s ever again.

"That is not what I meant but I just want you to know exactly what is going on. I would not like the fact that you are being tricked into doing this at their time and pace and not yours."

"Simply put, you hate the fact that they are controlling me and lying just to get things done. It isn’t so and if truly it is a test or even though it is real and grandfather never intended it to be a test, it is also a way to prove myself that I am not all talk or that I never slept my way to being your financial assistant like most people thinks."

"And since when have you been bothered by the things people say?" From the change in the tone of his voice, she knew she had said what he did not like. He was already back to his usual coldness just from that sentence she uttered.

"Ye Cheng just because I do not care, do not mean I should not correct somethings. It is easier for you to say because you are not the one who is being called a mistress and is sleeping around."

"Li Jing, wait."

"No. You are not in my shoes so you would not know where it bites. In as much as I do not care about what they say, no one wants that kind of reputation about themselves to be circulated. At least now I can better prove myself and if not to everyone, to my family at least."

"Yes, that is true and I support you on that. I am sorry for everything. I guess I still have quite a lot to learn from you and how to better relate."

"Yes you do," Li Jing boasted.

"Enjoy it while you can ha-ha haha."

A cute smile formed on her lips as she stared at the phone. His laughter made her heart feel funny and happy at the same time.

Li Jing never would have thought that having him around for months and now being apart from him would be this hard and painful.

It had barely being two days since she last saw him but it felt like days, even months.

"Li Jing," Ye Cheng’s voice called out when he noticed she became silent for some seconds. "Hello, Li Jing. Are you there?"

"Hello, yeah I am. Sorry I just got lost in thoughts do not mind me."

"Oh, what is it about? Mind sharing?"

"It is nothing serious." She tried to deviate from the topic but Ye Cheng wouldn’t have it. Everything about her was important to him even down to the smallest details.

"Tell me about it still. I want to know what could grasp your attention when I am talking to you. It must be important for it to succeed in doing that."

Her forehead creased at what he said as she narrowed her eyes at her phone screen then placed him on speaker. "Do not tell me you are getting jealous now?" Li Jing asked.

"Why would I be jealous?"

"I don’t know, you tell me. Why should I be jealous or is there a reason I should be?"

"Get away."

"I am not even there, is that how much you want me to leave your life that you are chasing me away?"

"You know what I mean, Ye Cheng."

"I do, but it is fun teasing you. Now where were we? Tell me what is troubling you. I just hope our listen discussion now has helped you calm down."

"Very much, thank you. Honestly speaking when I said it was nothing I meant it."

"Li Jing..."

"Hear me out. I was just lost in thought about you."

"Me?" Okay Ye Cheng had definitely not expected her to say that. He was taken aback by the whole thing. She caught him off guard without saying much.

"Yes, you. When you laughed just now. That was when I realized that I missed that. I missed those few times we spent being happy together. I missed hearing that and watching it happen first hand."

It felt as though Ye Cheng was hearing sweet melodies right now. This was definitely the best thing he had heard all day. His heart began to warm up a smile he had forgotten subconsciously formed on his lips. New ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish.net . Fɪre

"Stop talking," Ye Cheng cut her short. He wished she was right by his side or even in front of him within reach. He would not have hesitated to seal her lips and his with a kiss.

’God what is happening to me? Explain to me.’

"Why? What..."

"Just shh... Let me envision this moment and you by my side."

"Ye Cheng." Li Jing was about protesting but even she was feeling giddy all over. She missed being in his arms.

"Just be calm." Li Jing obeyed and did not say anything further. A minute passed and all that Ye Cheng listened to was the sound of her breathing and before long he envisioned watching her fall as sleep in his arms and the kiss they shared.

He felt his blood begin to rush and his hormones starting to wake up. "Bloody hell, damn it," Ye Cheng cursed silently.

He was already too used to her that his body missed having her close. Scratch that, his mind, heart and body did. His feelings were going out of control and so was hers.

"Ye Cheng?"

"Thank you."

Li Jing smiled at his gratitude then a thought came into mind. She decided to tease him. "For?"

"Coming into my life and being the sweet little angel that you are."
