Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 41

"Stop being a mother hen, Yin Lifen. We are age mates."

"Since you wouldn't take care of yourself, then I must be a mother hen for you, even a lioness just to protect you."

"Nothing would go wrong. Trust me."

She gave Li Jing a quizzical look before throwing her hands up in a dramatic way. "Oh alright. If you say so. By the way, what is his name? I can help you look him up to satisfy my hunch if he is good or not."

"Hey look, our order is coming," Li Jing half yelled, her excitement clearly displaying on her face.

Yin Lifen turned her head and indeed the waiter was coming towards them with their order. After he served them and left, Li Jing instantly dove into her meal.

Yin Lifen watched her closely. She knew Li Jing wasn't hungry from the way she ate but the enthusiasm never left her face.

For someone who did not know her well, they would think she was indeed happy with her meal and eager to try it out, but not Yin Lifen. She knew it was all a façade.

She left her friend continue her act for a few minutes before finlly speaking. "You would choke because of your terrible acting skills."

Li Jing stopped eating and dropped her cutlery. "I thought I did a good job."

"Tell that to an amateur who is not familiar with you. What are you hiding this time, little dove?"

"I am not hiding anything."

"Then say his name."

Li Jing pursed her lips into a thin line and looked away from Yi Lifen.

"Don't tell me… You actually do not… Li Jing!"

"Yes, I am sorry but I do not know his name. Don't be mad."

"I would die because of you. You want to kill my poor heart with worry? How can you not know his name?"

"Sorry. I would ask when I get back and tell you. Would that be okay? Please don't shout and let us eat, hmm?"

"I seriously do not know what to do with you." Yin Lifen shook her head for the umpteenth time and watch as her friend ate her meal nervously.

Sigh!

'Li Jing, until when would you learn?'

****

By the time they were done with their meal, Li Jing bade her farewell and refused to let Yin Lifen drop her off as she needed to get some groceries and a pair of trousers and short for Ye Cheng.

The last thing she needed was for Yin Lifen finding out and scolding her, thereby further exposing the truth about Ye Cheng.

After making sure Yin Lifen was gone, she went grocery shopping and took a taxi to the nearest not too expensive fashion mall for men.

Before throwing off Ye Cheng's shirt, she could tell it was something expensive and that he was a rich guy.

So she thought buying him something a bit expensive would be better as she could not afford the overly expensive rich men clothing.

By the time she got in, she was attended to and taken to where she would make her choice.

"Ma'am, what's the occasion?" the attendant attending to her asked.

"Oh nothing special, just a gift."

"Ma'am your husband is lucky to have you get him a gift," the attendant praised her with a face full of smiles.

Li Jing returned her smile with one of her own but did not say anything. How was she to say, 'No he is not my husband but a handsome stranger… sigh!'

Meanwhile, as she shopped a man was watching her from the opposite line. He narrowed his eyes to get a clear glimpse of her face and be sure his eyes were not deceiving him.

Seconds later, he confirmed she was the one.

"Sir, these are the expensive new stock we got," one of the attendants said to him, bringing his attention back to what they were previously discussing.

"Um… uhh okay. They wouldn't do. We are rebranding this place since my company bought it. All the clothes on sales would be changed to higher quality and expensive ones."

"Yes sir. Mr Duan," the male attendant called on him again when he noticed his attention had drifted somewhere else.

"Um… give me a minute. I would get back to you."

"Okay sir."

Duan Tian brought out his phone and quickly made a call. "Hello, sweetheart."

"Darling, how are you?"

Duan Tain could hear the laughter and the sweet music playing in the background and his brows creased at the sound.

"Where are you?" Duan Tain asked with a frown.

"I went out with my mother, why?"

"Nothing. Anyways you would never believe who I just saw."

"Who?" Li Xiu scooted forward in her seat as her face suddenly became serious and interested.

"Li Jing. She is in our new shop."

"Oh, forget her."
