CHAPTER 355

Tang Zixin smiled at her. She was really an understanding lady.

Due to the fact that she was almost going through the same thing now, Li Jing very much understood how Tang Zixin had felt when she couldn't return his feelings.

"It's okay. You do not have to feel troubled or sorry even at that. I understand things well."

"Thanks. You really have analyzed the whole situation."

'Yeah and you should have too but you were just too hurt to notice it. I really hope that with knowing this, something good can come from it."

"Yeah, I just have to show him I care and make him feel it all again."

"Good thinking. I leave it all to you. Now, can I please eat?" His smile remained. He was teasing her silly. He knew she may have an outburst now but he loved seeing all shades and sides of her.

"I am not going to give you that satisfaction, Zixin."

"Busted I guess."

"Big time. Now down that meal already."

"Yes ma'am, hehhee…"

***

Just like they had planned, Li Jing went back home feeling more confident than before and definitely more happy.

By the time she arrived, she asked and found out that Ye Cheng was in his study downstairs. Feeling like a devoted wife, she decided to go and greet him first.

She knew he had been avoiding her but not anymore. She planned on changing things. After all, they were happily 'married'.

"Thank you." She greeted the maid that answered her questioned and began to walk happily in the direction of his study.

However before she had even gone quarter of her journey, she heard the door open and saw Ye Cheng's silhouette step out of the room.

It was like her breathing stopped and she froze in time. He still looked as handsome as he did back then when she first woke up on his body.

As god like as he could ever be, able to steal the breath of every living creature that stole a glance at him. Li Jing felt mesmerized by his looks and subconsciously she began to smile sheepishly.

She had been so energized to see him but now…

Up till now, he still had not seen her as he had his eyes down. From the looks of things something was on his mind and she saw it. His brown hair was in a scattered mess, an indication of his troubled thoughts.

Taking a deep breath she managed to get herself free from her trance and do something.

'I need to cheer him up, perhaps that would make him happy and see things differently.' Li Jing thought.

As she was about to implement her plan, he lifted his eyes and their gaze met. Both of them stood transfixed at the spot with eyes unblinking and brain… Only God knows what was running through their minds.

Although it was for some seconds, it felt like quite a longest time for Li Jing. Finally she did not have to be in that awkward situation again as he took the first step and another, then another.

BADUM! BADUM!

Li Jing felt as though her heart was going to burst out of her chesty any second from then. With each step he took, her heart beast became faster and louder in her ears.

Soon he was but two steps away from her that was when she blinked only for Ye Cheng to not say anything other than give her a brief smile and walk past.

'WHAT!!' Li Jing screamed inside her mind. 'Did he just walk past me? Hmm, Ye Cheng!'

She quickly recovered from her shock and turned around. She was not going to let him win or get away with that. What had happened to their public display of affection to keep everyone thinking they were happily married?

Hmph!

She quickly made her move and rushed to block his path. Ye Cheng did not say anything but the look he gave her already did, silently asking her what was the problem.

"Hey honey."

Ye Cheng who was not expecting her to say that arched his brow at her. "Pardon?"

"I was just coming to see you. I missed you, wouldn't you at least tell me you miss me back? I was worried you had not eaten and was going to ask what you wanted to eat so that I can prepare it and we eat together.'

"Thanks but I am not hungry." His words felt like a bomb in Li Jing's mind but she was not willing to stop.

"Hmm, are you sure?" You look stressed and that is as a result of not eating properly as well as lack of sleep and over stress. Allow your wife take care of you. Come, you can eat the cookies and cake I baked yesterday evening to hold your tummy while I cook you something nice."

Before Ye Cheng could protest further, she smiled at him, moved forward then gave him a peck on the cheek and pulled him along with her.

All of this was still so shocking to Ye Cheng. He did not know what she was trying to pull off but he knew better than anyone that he needed to play along fir their contract sake.

Li Jing wasted no time in leading him to the dining table and made him sit down before rushing off to the kitchen to get the desserts.

Funny, she was making him eat desserts before dinner.

Since she was already familiar with things at home, she helped herself to all she needed, refusing the help from the maids in the house.

In no time she had personally brought the snacks to him with a nice apple juice to go with it and smiled at him, urging him to have a bite.

Reluctantly, Ye Cheng took a bite of the cake and his eyes widened when he began to chew on it.

Not saying anything, Li Jing smiled and took her leave.
