CHAPTER 236

"First, you owe me an explanation to why I was being called here."

"What? Do I need to give you a reason for that?" He pulled his head back to look at the defiant Li Jing again.

"Yes?"

"Why?"

"Because you said things are going to be hard and all that and we need to work more. But here I am not working. I am just seated here."

Ouchie!

She hurt him with her words.

"So you find being with me nothing?"

"That is not what I meant, Ye Cheng."

"You insinuated it still." Ye Cheng pouted his lips at her but rather than get the sympathy and love from her like he wished, he only got a smiling Li Jing.

She found his attitude too cute and wished to see more of it but when that thought flashed into her mind coupled with the fact that she may not be seeing him anytime soon once she returns to where her grandfather is based.

Her pain flashed in her eyes. Even though it was for a brief moment, Ye Cheng saw it and knew something was wrong.

"Li Jing, what is the matter?"

She shook her head at him, trying to get him off her case with a sweet smile. He knew everything was a pretense and chose to be silent about it. He did not want to rush her. She would tell him on her own.

"Okay, let me get this straight. You called me ASAP to your office just so you can see me?"

"Is that a bad reason?"

"No. It just isn't you. You are the work, work, work, serious type, Ye Cheng. I guess I am just surprised seeing you slack."

"I just want to make up for the time I didn't see you and be sure you are okay."

"You saw the video?"

"Yes and I can say, I am proud. I am happy you are standing up for yourself but this is why I want Hua Duyi with you. He would ensure such doesn't repeat itself and shuu such crazy women from you."

"You care too much."

"That is supposed to be a good thing but why say it like it is a bad thing?"

'Because, I am about to leave you, Ye Cheng and it hurts but I do not know what is in store for me and you in the future. I do not want you to hurt while I am gone.' Li Jing said to herself inwardly.

She was finding it difficult to spill the beans as she knew he would not be happy about it. Both of them had grown fond of each other and were perfectly free in each other's presence. So having to separate…

Sigh!

Li Jing did not need someone to tell her that she would be too busy fixing things up and getting accustomed to her grandfather's company. So definitely, it was a no go area. They would be seeing and talking to each other less.

"It is not bad Ye Cheng. I am happy that's all. I am happy I am being missed."

He knew she was still hiding something. He could sense that there was something painful bothering her and as to why she was hiding it, he had no idea. Still, he played on with her and continued their discussion like he sensed nothing.

"Exactly, it shows that you are valuable to me."

"Thanks but I need to get back to work now and so do you," Li Jing said, ruining the mood further. It was hard for her and she felt that she had to leave before he caught her that she was hiding something from him.

"Hey, calm down. What would it take to have one hour of your time?"

"Nothing. Besides, Yi Wang Lei would be coming in the next forty minutes. So no, one hour isn't up for grabs."

"How about thirty minutes then? I would pay you for your time. Consider it consultation or work."

"Really now?"

"Ten thousand dollars for your time."

"Ye Cheng!"

"Twenty thousand dollars then."

"Oh gosh this boy."

'I can keep increasing it till you agree. Thirty thousand dollars."

"Fine. Thirty minutes it is." Another smile broke out on her pert lips. She loved divine with how simply beautiful she was.

She was doing things to his mind that she could not imagine. "Thank you dear."

Feeling as though this was the perfect time, Ye Cheng leaned back down and she Li Jing pushed back. He did not stop and kept on leaning down.

"Hey what are you doing?"

A wicked smile broke out on his lips as he placed both hands above her head, locking her in place when her back touched the leather seat.

BINGO!

"Ye Cheng?" Her voice gave him the warning tone. He was getting more coy than before.

"What? I am just picking up from where we left off from before. Besides I just got thirty minutes with you. I suppose I should use it well."

"You are one naughty CEO."

"And I am guessing that you love it. Your eyes are inviting me in, Li Jing."

"You must be seeing wrong then. Gert off.'

"Make me." Daring her, Ye Cheng let his weight crash on her. There was no escape now. He was going to have a taste of those lips as he wished.

"Ye Cheng." Rather than fight back, her smile betrayed her and refused to die down, giving him the idea that she was loving it.

And between you and I, she damn right was loving it.

He locked eyes with her as he brought his face closer to hers. Her was daring her to stop him but she did not and allowed herself to be lost in his sexy eyes.

Finally he closed his eyes the second his lips made contact with hers and sealed their fate with a hot, needy, slow burn kiss.
