Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 469

"Perhaps it does but I have no regret. I married the most amazing woman on this earth. I can argue it anytime any day with anyone and I would never go back on my decision. Not even for you nor Sying."

SIGH!

"Is that how much she has taken over you?" Li An asked. "Because I am trying to understand the whole mechanism behind it all."

"Mother, there is no mechanism. All that it entails is love. I love li Jing and she loves me too. I would do anything for her, mum and I hope you can cherish my decision and love her too."

Li An closed her eyes. She knew when her son's mind was made up and this was one of those instances. None of them spoke after that, they both stood there with their minds fully occupied with their thoughts.

After some time, Li An looked at her son. She could see how grown he had become but she could not deny that she felt so hurt by his decision.

"I do not understand, why it has to be her. Why didn't you trust me and wait some more?"

"Because it was useless waiting for a miracle when no news whatsoever or any useful lead was in sight. I am not getting any younger you know. You made a promise to your friend but it is not my responsibility to keep that promise for you, ma."

"Ye Cheng! Watch your mouth."

"No, mum. I am afraid I cannot do so. You have lived your life, do not decide how I would live mine. I am not an asset for dad to use to get a business deal and more importantly, I am not your promise made. If you really love me, you would respect my decision, ma."

Placing a hand on her chest, Li An quarrelled with him. "Ye Cheng, how dare you say that to me? Have you forgotten your promise?" She took in a deep breath first and then straightened her spine. "FINE, then. You leave me no choice. I refuse to accept her."

"Mum." His heartbeat suddenly increased as he blinked his eyes severally at his mother. "Ma."

"You leave me no choice, son. It is for your own good."

"I love her and besides, for Sying it is not like there is any lead or hope, so why do you speak as though you have found her or have you and I do not know something?"

Li An did not say anything, neither did she argue.

"If you know something and you are scared, you do not have to be. My decision is final. It is Li Jing I love and I would not leave her." He turned on his heels, ready to take the next step out of her room.

"Ye Cheng," she called out.                                         

"You leave me no choice too. If I lose her, you lose me, ma. I hope you are prepared for the consequences."     

Without waiting to exchange any words with her, he took his leave, excusing himself from her room and leaving her to her own thoughts.

"Ye Cheng!"

****

  He knew he promised Li Jing all would be well but he did not see himself allowing her to suffer in the hands of anyone.

By the time he got back to their room, his wife was all dressed up and reading a book in her hands.

"My love."

"Hey, honey," she said peeling her eyes from the book in her hand only for her to notice Ye Cheng's downcast expression. "What is wrong, honey?"

"Nothing to bother your pretty head with," he lied.

Managing a smile at her, he walked up to her and pecked her on the forehead.

"Umm, I get a kiss on my forehead, what happened to my lips?" Li Jing joked.

"Sorry, love." He moved in again and this time kissed her on the lips. "There, love. I am sorry. I was just…"

"You are tired, mentally, I can see. What happened between you and your mother? She did not take it well, I presume?"

"She did not dear. I… Do not worry, my love. It would be alright."

"Are you sure?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Saying no more, she smiled at him and stretched out her hand to him.

Taking it, Ye Cheng closed the gap between them and Li Jing took hold of the opportunity to drag his hand, pulling him on her as both of them fell down on the bed.

"Hahahaa…" a peal of sweet laughter escaped her lips the next second when she looked at his face.

Ye Cheng was shocked beyond words by her little mischief he would have easily figured out but was too busy thinking to figure that out.

"Someone is being naughty," Ye Cheng said and pinched the tip of her nose.

"Am I? Hmm, I am just having my husband to myself."

"Am I a dish? Tsk, what should I do with you?"

"I know."

"You do? Tell me."

"Kiss me," Li Jing voiced out boldly. He was about to say something but found himself completely speechless by her boldness.

She got him tongue-tied there. "Kiss me," she daringly requested again.

"Li Jing," he was about protesting when she placed a finger across his lips. 

"Shh… just do and do not talk, honey. Let me feel you."

Understanding what she was trying to do, he decided not to take away the joy of what she wanted and obeyed.

Slowly, he brought his face closer to hers, his eyes not leaving her own one bit till their lips met and as though on cue, they both closed their eyes, to live the moment.

It was like she knew the exact drugs to give to him. Immediately their lips met, he felt his pain just start to disappear.

And the more they kissed, sharing saliva and sucking on their tongues, the more his heart swelled.

Lips entangled and hearts became unified once more. Li Jing herself, she could feel his pain and tried all she could to pour her love for him through that kiss.

'I love you, Ye Cheng and I wish to be with you forever.'
