CHAPTER 107

Han Qing was a raging mess immediately she stepped out of the office. Taking great strides, she walked quickly back to her working table and ploughed down on her chair angrily.

"Han Qing Qing."

Hearing the familiar unwanted voice, Han Qing jolted up from her seat. "Sir."

She hated being startled and this Hao Huizhong loved to do that. Seeing him in front of her desk, Han Qing Qing quickly rearranged her face to that of the polite assistant that she was.

"Is Ye Cheng free? I want to see him briefly."

"I am afraid not sir."

"Oh, he has someone there? Is it Li Jing? I can just tell him what I need to say." Hao Huizhong was feigning ignorance, trying to get information from her.

"I am sorry sir, but no. It is not Miss Li Jing but Miss Bai," Han Qing Qing informed him.

She could not care less if he interrupted that lady right now, besides weren't they all best friends? So why should she care?

In fact, she should let him in and help ruin Bai Qing Mei's fun. She could imagine the look on Bai Qing Mei's face when she noticed someone was going to interrupt them.

With that wicked thought in place, she made up her mind to allow Hao Huizhong in against her better judgment.

She would handle Ye Cheng's wrath later, for now, all she could think about was making Bai Qing Mei's smile turn sour.

"Bai Qing Mei is around?"

"Yes sir. You can join them then since she is your friend too," Han Qing Qing suggested.

"Oh, no need. I do not want to interrupt anything. It has been a while since they last saw each other."

'Where is his naughty mind going to? Tsk, men. I know boss wouldn't do that. Wait, do I know or I hope?'

"I would leave her a message on her cell phone later. I would see her when she is done or if she comes out help me pass my message to her that I would like to see her as well."

"Okay, sir."

"Thanks."

Immediately Li Jing got to her office, she reached for her seat and sat down then gently placed her head on her desk.

In not less than a minute, she raised her head back and leaned back against her chair with her left her on her chest.

'Li Jing calm down. You shouldn't feel anything about what happened. Be happy for him. He thought he had lost her but now she is back.'

She let out an exasperated sigh at her thought.

"It is her being back that is the problem. It just does not seem logical. I need to talk to Yin Lifen. Perhaps she can tell me I am not paranoid and that it is not due to anything but the fact."

She picked up her phone from where she left in on her desk and dialed her friend's number.

It was not even up to two seconds, that Yin Lifen answered her call and Li Jing's ear was greeted by her ever-enthusiastic yell.

"Li Jing!"

"Hey, Fen Fen."

Yin Lifen could notice the sadness etched deep in her friend's tone and knew something was wrong. "Hey, Jing-er what is wrong? What happened?"

"It is nothing, Fen Fen."

"Of course it is something. I know you more than you know yourself. Come on, tell me what is wrong."

Her mind flashed back to when Bai Qing Mei and Ye Cheng shared a kiss and she did not know why but for some reason it hurt. It pained her to see both of them.

She quickly shook her head and smiled at herself. "Silly me."

"What? What did you say, Li Jing? I could not hear you.

"It was nothing. I have something I need your thought on, please."

"Sure, ask away. I am all ears and here for you baby."

Li Jing rolled her eyes at her friend and proceeded with her question. "How possible is it for a dead person to come back to life?"

"Pardon?"

~Ye Cheng's Office~

Once they were alone, Ye Cheng returned his gaze back to Bai Qing Mei. He was still finding it hard to believe the fact that she was there with him.

"Cheng, darling. Now we have all the time to ourselves. I missed you so much," said Bai Qing Mei and she once more attacked his lips, kissing him fully on his lips as she waited for him to part his lips but he did not.

After some seconds she pulled back, giving him a questioning gaze.

"What is wrong, Cheng? Are you not happy to see me?"

"No, no, no. Of course, I am happy to see you, Qing Mei."

"Then why don't you want to kiss me back? Or have you fallen for someone else?"

"Don't be absurd. I haven't."

"Then why are you behaving this way?" Bai Qing Mei asked, her brows furrowed into a frown as she stared into Ye Cheng's eyes for any possible clue as to what was going on in his mind.

"That's not it."

Pulling her hands from his neck, Bai Qing Mei snapped at him. "Then what is it? What is the matter? You keep saying that's not it, don't be absurd and all that but you do not want to tell me what is wrong.

He understood her fear and her worry, but really there was nothing wrong.

"Is it because of that woman that I met you with? Are you in love with her? Has she taken you from me?"

Hearing her words of jealousy, Ye Cheng pulled her back closer to him so no space was left between them and passionately cupped her face in his hands as he pressed his lips against hers.

At the instant invasion on her lips, Bai Qing Mei gasped a bit, granting Ye Cheng entrance into her waiting mouth and she returned his kiss with every fibre in her being.

Ye Cheng also deepened the kiss, kissing her slowly at first, then increased the pace a bit, pouring all of his hidden emotions for her back into that kiss.

His kiss made her light-headed and made her feel things she had never felt before.

This was the first time, in a while that he kissed her like that, tasting every inch of her warm mouth with his tongue and showing her just how much he had missed her and the pain he felt when he lost her.

She enjoyed every bit of his tongue in her mouth and flickered hers against it as they locked in her mouth.
