CHAPTER 239
"Li Jing, it is still one and the same dear."
"No, it isn't."
"Yes, it is. You may promise me something but that does not mean you would not be mega busy. You want to help reshape a company. You would be mega busy with so many things. I know because it was the same thing I did when I returned from the states."
"Yes, even though you are right, but you can always reach me, right? I only want you to know that I cherish you and care about you."
"As do I, Li Jing."
"So please, allow me to do this. It is all I can give to him for not stopping the search all these while and marry someone else. It means a lot to me, Ye Cheng."
"I do not want you to go."
"Ye Cheng."
"No. You said I had one wish to make and you would do it. Now I make my wish. I do not wish for you to leave."
"Ye Cheng!"
"II am sorry Li Jing. Call me selfish but I am not about to lose you too."
"Thank goodness not only you earned a wish on that day. I use my wish to cancel yours. Let me go, Ye Cheng."
"Damn it, Li Jing. Please do not go."
"It is not like it is the end of the world, Ye Cheng. We are just a city apart and nothing more. Please try to understand."
"I want to Li Jing. Really, I am trying."
"But…"
"But it is hard."
"You do not actually have much of a say in this Ye Cheng. I am only informing you as a friend and nothing more."

"And what about us?"
"What about us in what sense?
Was she really denying that they had something between them? Ye Cheng shook his head mentally and approached her, further closing the gap between them. He was not going to let things just go like that.
"We, us. Name it."
"Ye Cheng I do not understand. Explain." He could see her brows creased as her confusion set in. Rather than explaining the way she had thought he would, Ye Cheng soft held her face in his hands and pressed his lips on hers.
"This is what I mean, Li Jing. You cannot deny the fact that something is building between us."
"No I won't but I need to figure out myself first, Ye Cheng. And for that, I must leave."
He looked deep into her eyes to search for any wavering emotion that he could hold onto and persuade her but he found none. Slowly, Ye Cheng's hands brushed her cheeks in the most loving way possible as though he was taking his time to memorize her face.
"I cannot change your mind, can I?"
Li Jing's eyes dropped close as her head moved from side to side twice before speaking. "I'm afraid you can't."
"Fine. I would always be here when you need me. I won't abandon you and that house is yours. You can stay there whenever you are around."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Her lips curved up as his smile danced on his lips but his eyes told a different tale of the real pain he was feeling.
Li Jing's heart clenched at the side and she tried her best not to show just how much she was hurting seeing him like that and how well she wanted to stay and be with him but this was something she had to do.

Her life would never be complete if she left those unanswered questions unanswered and discovered.
The next thing she did, left him agape and a little bit stunned.
Li Jing reached up, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him closely with her face, buried at the crook of his neck due to his height.
"Worry not. It is going to be okay. All is well."
He took some seconds before Ye Cheng got himself back and subconsciously wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her body closer to his.
After some minutes of being like that and hugging in that position, they pulled apart from each other with eyes still glued on the other, like a lovestruck couple.
"Hey, I got you a present.' Li Jing's happy and chirpy voice had brought some life back to their atmosphere.
This had only earned her a smile from Ye Cheng who knew exactly what she was doing. It had further made his heart hurt that she really was going and there was nothing he could do about it.
"It is my gift to you." She brought out something from her shirt pocket and handed it over to him.
Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes at what was in her hand. It was a flash drive. He peeled his graze from the black and blue fash drive in her hand and looked over at her.
Sensing his confusion, Li Jing smiled brightly again and said. "My gift to you. I worked on this and thought it would make a magnificent business deal. This is the prototype and all in here, it is quite easy, so I know you can get things done."
"Li Jing." He was speechless. Words could not describe how good or kind she was at times. She had a nice marketing plan, for a good business and even to move a company forward and she gave him.
One would think she would keep it so she could pitch it into her grandfather's company but she did no such thing and gave it to him instead.
"You do not have to say anything. It is a gift, my departing gift."
Ye Cheng's eyes dimmed. "I do not want to part with you."
"You are not parting with me per se. It is just a gift while I am not around as often as I used to be."
"Still the same thing. You are leaving." No longer was he smiling and that had affected her own smile as well. Well, no one was smiling as it wasn't a smiling issue to start with.

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
