Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

**************

CHAPTER 359

Neither Ye Cheng nor Li Jing spoke to each other until they were sure that Han Qing Qing had gone.

"What are you doing down here, Li Jing?"

"Nothing. I just came to see how the old office was," I Jing stated calmly.

Ye Cheng did not want to believe that was all of it and he looked at her with dimed eyes. "Fine, you have seen it. Let's go."

He did not give her a chance to speak and turned around, ready to take the first step and walk out when he heard her voice finally break out. "Wait."

Although Ye Cheng did not turn but something about how she said the word made him feel funny on the inside. If it was because she was speaking this way in an office he had cherished after her departure or his emotions just playing him, he wasn't so sure which it was.

Turning around to face her once more he answered. "Yes."

"Why?"

"Hmm. I am afraid you would have to be more specific than that, Li Jing."

"Why did you not hire a financial manager? Why leave that space empty?"

"You had an assistant Financial manager, I believe she was okay already."

"You know that is a lie. If she was okay and doing her job and you trust her, you wouldn't be doing so yourself."

All he did at her observation was to blink and maintain a neutral composure. He was at it again, back to when she first met him, always putting on a face one could not read but this was different now.

Li Jing had gotten used to him to a large extent.

"Fine, shall we go to my office, we would discuss things there."

"Okay."

**

In no time they were already seated in his office and ready to talk when Li Jing saw him get up only for him to go prepare her a hot cup of coffee alongside him.

"Thank you."

"Hmm." Li Jing waited for Ye Cheng to round the table and sit down before she brought up the matter again. "Now, please do you mind answering me?"

"I do mind. But I have forgotten the question."

At that moment all that was in Li Jing's mind was to just actually spank Ye Cheng. He was intentionally playing with her to test her patience. Tsk what a naughty CEO.

"Your financial manager, what happened? Why don't you have one?"

"Because the financial manager I have left me and now she is sitting before me."

"It doesn't make sense."

"It does, Li Jing. I never agreed that you would go. You only went for a visit and your party. You were supposed to return but you didn't until almost six months later? Forgive me for being prudent and keeping your office intact and doing all your work."

0_0

Did he just say that? Li Jing tried replaying all of those things in her mind but she just couLd not understand how he thought anymore. Like heal he did not know that she had gotten a job in her father's company as the CEO. 

How then did he expect for her to return as his financial manager. Was this wishful thinking or what?

Letting out a deep sigh, Li Jing looked at him and drew closer to the table. "Ye Cheng what is wrong with you?"

"You."

"What. I did nothing. You knew how the situation was. It wasn't like it was particularly peaceful."

"I agree and that was why you should have returned to people who understood you and wanted you here."

"It wasn't simple. I couldn't make him go through all that he did years back again," Li Jing defended.

"If only you had considered me. What did our friendship mean to you and what did…"

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Both of them paused then turned their head in the direction f the door. At first Ye Cheng wanted t ignore it thinking it was Han Qing Qing but when the knock came a second time, he was forced to respond. "Come in."

The door pushed open to reveal another handsome young man in a light blue long sleeved collared shirt and a dark blue navy trouser to match. His shoes were of the same light blue shade as his shirt.

She recalled that person even without looking at his face.

"Yi Wang Lei?"

"Li Jing? Li Jing!" All these while, he had not seen Li Jing save for their wedding photos. He was so glad to have met her there today but from the look of things, Ye Cheng wouldn't have informed him either way and he prevented him from coming over to see her because a part of him feared that his friend, would spill the beans.

Unknown to him, Han Qing Qing had already done justice to that but not the most important part due to his interruption.

"Oh my goodness. I have missed you so much, Li Jing." Ignoring the obvious stares he was getting from the grumpy CEO, Yi Wang Lei crossed the space between them to where Li Jing was now standing and pulled her in for a hug.

Ye Cheng who had least expected for his friend to do that in his presence had his eyes open wide. Of course even though Li Jing was enveloped in the hug she did not fail to notice his reaction.

No longer was he looking neutral but now, he looked like a jealous husband.

'Bingo, so this is what is affecting you. I can't wait for when you wouldn't be able to old it in again and say the truth.' Li Jing thought inwardly.

Right there she could already see another plan brewing.

"Ahem!" Ye Cheng cleared his throat to garner their attention but Yi Wang Lei ignored him. 

'Seriously? I'm going to punish this Wang Lei for this. How can he hug my wife in my presence like that?' He thought.

  He was already boiling but outwardly he still managed to keep up with false appearances. "Jack, I think that is enough. You are in an office."

"Huh, weren't you in the office when you were kissing her months ago?"
