Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 218

Duan Tian's eyes widened at the order his very own friend was giving and this was also due to the fact that Duan Tian had lied that his family was doing so great and in no time would be one of the best and fastest growing businesses in the country but when he heard what Ye Cheng said, it was obvious that he was lied to and that had annoyed him further.

"Please, let us…"

"Chang Bo, are you seriously just going to take sides?" Duan Tian managed to ask.

'Is this guy stupid or what? Does he intend on making me lose my job just for his ego? What would I get? At this rate, he isn't ranked anywhere and yet he wants me to side him. What can he offer? Bloody bastard!' Chang Mo said inwardly. He was tired of Duan Tian and so he was going to drop him

"What are you waiting for? Drag him out!" Chang Mo ordered again. This time around the three other men in suit did not wait for further instructions and walked over to where Duan Tian was and picked him up. 

"My apologies sir, I would see to it that things are taken care off."

"Better." Ye Cheng pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands clean since he had touched Duan Tian. He looked over to Li Jing and met her still staring into nothing in particular.

He shook his head and went over to her, where she stood then held her arms. "Li Jing." She was a little bit in shock but she did her best to look okay and quickly fixed her hair.

Ye Cheng held her hand to stop her and helped her comb her hair with his fingers. "Are you okay? Does anywhere hurt?"

She nodded her head at him before raising her head to look into his eyes. "Yes, my scalp."

"I am sorry. Come." Holding her hand, he took her to where Tang Zixin was and thanked him.

"Thank you."

"What for?"

"Calling the manager. Things would be taken care of."

"It is no big deal. I am happy you got here in time. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't arrived in time?" Tang Zixin appreciated him before he darted his gaze to the side where Li Jing was. "I would leave Ye Cheng to send you home. You need to rest. I trust you would be fine with him?"

"Yes. Thank you so much for today and everything."

"It is alright. See you two next year."

"Yeah. Bye," Ye Cheng gave a single nod at him while Li Jing waved him goodbye.

With a smiling face, he turned around and walked away, leaving them behind to whatever it was that they deemed it fit to do. 

"Shall we?"

"Yes."           

***

As soon as Duan Tian was thrown outside the big restaurant close to the road, Chang Mo walked up to meet them and eyed his friend. 

"I can't believe you, Duan Tian. Just because you have gone down, you chose to bring me down with you. You are a wicked friend, good riddance to bad rubbish!"

"Chang Mo, wait. I can explain."

"Save it for who cares. Never appear in front of me again. Guys, let's go."

Following what Tang Zixin said, Ye Cheng took Li Jing home before the night clocked 12. 

He had wanted to spend more time with her and take her out like they did on the Christmas morning but following the incident of today and the mental stress and over excitement of meeting her grandfather, Ye Cheng decided not to.

He could always take her out on a date another day. Besides, he was informed of the new year dinner to celebrate winning the bidding proposal and indicate the launching of the work.

Sigh, they had barely finished the tear with less stress and beginning from the second day of the year, it was going to be hectic and he did not want to take her rest from her.

"Hey, should I get some ice for you?" Ye Cheng asked after ensuring she was resting well on her bed.

"Umm, I think it is okay, no need for that."

"Are you sure, his grip was pretty hard."

"You were watching?" Her question had shocked him a bit but then considering what he said, it was obvious he was watching her. "Relax, I am not going to scold you for not intervening on time."

Ye Cheng took in a deep breathe before answering. "I did not arrive that early though, but I heard some of your conversation and I just want to say Li Jing, I am proud of you. I am proud of the things you said and did."

"Thanks."

"Keep it up. So, you want to do anything special this night? Any places you want to go to?"

"Umm, I would have loved ice cream but."

"Do not worry. I would place an order for one right away."

"Wouldn't you be having?" He had intended on refusing her offer but he knew that would only make her angry and definitely a scenario he wanted to avoid.

"Okay, I would make an order for two. Be right back let me make a call."

***

While Li Jing felt her last day of the year was peculiarly awesome, the Li family was about to get some thing shocking as well.

Ding Dong!

Li Xiu who was seated at the dining room sudden looked towards the entrance of the living room. "Who could it be at this time of the night? It better not be Duan Tian."

Ever since they ;lost that file and every other issue with Mr Yu, Duan Tian had stayed clear off her and so did she. She was angry that when there was a failure, he tended to ignore her like she was d cost his problem.

She got up from where she sat and made her way to the living room. It wasn't long after she sat down than she heard the familiar voice break her from her thoughts.

"I'm home!"
