CHAPTER 343

This was a huge step in her life. It was the one major thing that she took a decision on without her family members having a hand at influencing that decision.

She did not know whether it was going to be a good thing or would things still turn out worse at the end of the day?

Whether or not it did, now solely depends on the two of them.

Just as he had said, they got her things ready and packed it to his house. All the maids in his house was more than joyed when they saw that their young master had finally brought a lady home.

They were even gladder when he introduced her to them as the lady of the house and his wife. All of their faces held unspeakable joy and gladness. They had been hoping that with all this commotion in the young master's life, he would be able to even find a nice woman to marry.

Not only was Li Jing fitting into the qualities they wanted for him as a wife, she was a good and cheerful person and had somehow managed to capture the young master's heart.

It was indeed such a wonderful blessing.

"Welcome young mistress. Happy married life, young master." They all chorused their well wishes, before awaiting further instructions from Ye Cheng.

"You all can return to your work now. Send her things to my room immediately."

"Sure sir. Thank you sir."

"My love, shall we?"

Li Jing nodded and followed after him. She did not really know how to look at his maids, all of them had genuine smiles on their faces. They really wished her well and was happy for them, but it pained her that it was in vain.

She felt bad cheating them like this. Quickly she followed after Ye Cheng but unknown to her, her eagerness to want to leave because of the guilt actually looked like she could not wait to be in bed with their young master.

"Hehheee…" The maids giggled amongst themselves when they saw her attitude.

And just to add fire to the already burning flame, Ye Cheng placed his right had on her waist and pulled her body closer to his.

Li Jing who was in no way expecting such a thing was about protesting but as soon as their gaze met, she understood what he was doing and played along.

In no time they were already in his room and her things were there as well.

"You can use the other walk in closet to keep your clothes or have them arrange it for you. Also…"

"Can I just go and take my bath?" Li Jing cut in sharply.

"Oh, yes you can. I would excuse you then."

"Thanks."

"When you are done, you can come down for dinner."

"Sure." Li Jing waited for him to leave first before she went to keep her things in her own walk in closet and made her way to the bathroom to have a calming bath.

The moment she fully immersed herself in the tub a soft moan escaped her lips. It was what she needed to calm her throbbing head down.

Hmm!

Li Jing did not know what was going through his mind and wished that she did to prevent her from worrying so much.

Was he even happy that she was here with or was this all just for show? Irrespective of the one that it was, she had already started this journey.

Minutes later she finished her bath and went in for a change of clothes. She styuled her hair, sprayed a little perfume and then made her way downstairs for dinner.

She had anticipated that y now the news would have gotten to people who mattered but just so she could have enough peace for this her first day, ;Li Jing placed her phone on airplane mode.

By the time they were done from the dining, they made their way back inside the room. His room was bigger than even what she had at her grandfather's house.

She expected nothing less from the very wealthy bachelor and CEO of Dream Star Corporations.

Even till that moment they had only made small talks and nothing more. Ye Cheng first of checked some things at work before going to join her on the bed.

Just like he had assured her, he did not go close to her and remained at his own corner of the bed. Seeing this, Li Jing closed her eyes, allowing the disappointment seep in.

She wished for something better. She wished he even hugged her and petted her to sleep but perhaps that was just wishful thinking because she was close to him.

She was even startled at her strange need. This was her who was still angry at him for ignoring her call months ago, now she was the one yearning for him.

She shook her head and smiled to herself. It was going to be one heck of a long year. It was either she loved him and made him to love her back in return or she let this love go and live her life just like that.

Either one of them, she was happy to be by his side again.

***

The next day came quickly. She woke up only to find that Ye Cheng was no longer on the bed beside her.

She let out a yawn and searched for her phone to check the time. It was now that Li Jing thought to remove her phone from airplane mode.

The moment network came back on, several messages entered her phone. Just by looking at them she was already having a headache.

Scanning through the series of messages, Li Jing found one name predominant in the whole thing. It was Yin Lifen. She knew how her friend could be. She was such a worry cat.

Li Jing had been anticipating this and she knew that Yin Lifen would scream heaven and earth on her just for keeping her waiting and not say anything about her arrangements to her. She really had a caring friend, didn't she?
