Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

**********

CHAPTER 93

"Because she works for me. She is my company's finance manager."

Hearing that familiar voice, Tang Xixin turned to look at who spoke. 

Standing behind then was Ye Cheng giving Tang Zixin a suspicious look as though he just took something from him. 

"Ye Cheng!" 

Tang Zixin said that in a more questioning manner than he had intended to. 

He was nonetheless shocked to see the rich aristocrat butting into their talk but recalling what he just said, he did not have to consider it as butting in. 

Ye Cheng's brows creased as soon as he noticed the closeness between the two. 

"Yes?"

"I did not realize that you were here." Tang Zixin stated. 

"I never knew I was so conspicuous."

"I never meant that. It is just that, it is rare to find you in these gatherings."

"What can I say?"

Tang Zixin smiled at him and then turned to face Like Jing again. 

"By the way, who did you come with, Li Jing?"

Honestly, Li Jing and Ye Cheng thought he might have figured that out by now and so they were shocked by his question. 

Like Jing felt like maybe he did not hear Ye Cheng clearly and decided to answer his question but Ye Cheng beat her to it and replied Tang Zixin. 

"Tang Zixin, she came with me."

"What?"

"Is that too hard to understand?"

"No." He quickly composed himself before them and smiled at Ye Cheng. "I thought you were..."

"Kidding about her being my financial manager?"

"Yes, I think."

Ye Cheng let out a soft sigh and walked closer to them. 

"There is no jokes about this. Like Jing works for me, now."

"Now?"

"Yes. Since his Monday."

Immediately Tang Zixin heard the word Monday, he turned over to Li Jing and gave her that quizzical look. 

Li Jing felt like facepalming herself or better still, knocking some sense into Ye Cheng. 

He just could not end his sentence without adding the now and making Tang Zixin ask about it. 

She felt bad considering Tang Zixin asked first but she used Ye Cheng to lie, thereby ending up as his worker. 

'Oh, Ye Cheng, please do not be my doom!' Like Jing mentally complained. 

She returned Tang Zixin's questioning gaze with an apologetic one. 

"I never knew."

"Yes. So do not have second thoughts about taking my employee." Ye Cheng warned him and walked to Li Jing's side. 

'Seriously? When did he come? I asked her since.' Tang Zixin complained to himself. He tried his best not to show any form of annoyance at Ye Cheng's behaviour and still kept his smile intact. 

"Funny thing, considering I asked her to work in my company first." Tang Zixin exposed the truth to Ye Cheng, making the latter narrow his eyes at him.

"Besides, I think where she wants to work is not dependent on any of us but on her. Isn't that right, Li Jing."

"Maybe. Anyways, if you would excuse us. I would love to take my date away."

Before any of them could protest or say anything, Ye Cheng held Li Jing's hand and lead her away, leaving a stunned Tang Zixin behind. 

Not too far from where they once stood, Li Jing was leading her to the table of food to get her something when someone almost collided with them but he was fast enough to avoid it. 

"Oh, my! I am so sorry," the young lady apologized to Li Jing. If not that Ye Cheng reacted in time, she would have ended up hitting Li Jing's face and that would have been disastrous. 

She immediately bowed her head a little bit to apologize to the man beside Li Jing before raising her head to offer her special smiling apology to the couple. 

"My sincerest apologies... " she could not finish what she was going to say as her words got stuck I'm her throat. 

"Ye Cheng!"

"Ying Yue." 

Unlike the lady who was shocked to see he was the one, Ye Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he stared at her. 

It was then Ying Yue looked at him carefully and the lady at his side.

Her eyes trailed away from Li Jing to where their bodies connected at their arms with Ye Cheng's right hand placed top hers.

Ahem!

Immediately her inquisitive instincts kicked in to place upon seeing this dazzling sight. This was definitely going to be the news of the week.

Ying Yue was one of the top-notch reporters in the city. It was no wonder she was here as Mr Yu Xiaowen's guest, so she could give a good report about his company and showcase it live where a lot of people watched her news.

But other than reporting about the business Tycoon's birthday party, she just got the news that would shake the whole city and make all the girls go mad with tears of sorrow.

"And who do you with you, Mr Ye Cheng?"

At first, Ye Cheng did not want to reply hr and thought of walking away, but her next question made him pause and when he looked around, he could see Tang Zixin still looking in their direction.

"Is she your girlfriend or your new assistant, Mr Ye Cheng?" Her face lit up with a smile while she anticipated his answer.

'Say it, say it, say it, Ye Cheng!' Ying Yue chanted in her mind.

"She is my company's new financial manager."

Ying Yue had least expected that to be his answer. Not because she so much wanted there to be news worth gossiping but because, Li ing was going to be the second or first female financial manager, Dream Star Corporation was going to have.

What were they thinking all these years not to hire one? In fact, ladies had since stopped applying for the post as anyone who went, did not get the job.

"Whoa! That's a first."

"She is worth that position and more."

Li Jing who stood idly by his side, watching the verbal exchange go on, felt her cheeks begin to burn red at his remark.
