Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 134 - Obviously Crushing On Him

*******

CHAPTER 134

A day after, the news had died down for the most part and very few people talked about it but that did not change the glares Li Jing got at work as most of the ladies envied her for getting the CEO’s attention.

Regardless, she brushed it off and continued with her life. She had work as well and she needed to make sure her sister and ex get what was coming to them.

Meanwhile, Yin Lifen as you may have already guessed, came over to visit her just to hear the just about her kiss with Ye Cheng.

Li Jing understanding her friend very well gave her tad bits of the details and that he only did that to defend her against Luo Jinhai.

"Awwwnnn Li Jing! I am so happy for you." Yin Lifen squealed in excitement.

"What is there to be excited about Lifen?"

"Oh please, do you know just how many girls wish they are I your shoes right now?"

"What about you? Isn’t he, your crush?"

"Yes, he is. I like and admire him, but that does not change the fact that my baby has her eyes set on him long before she knew who he was. You like him too Li Jing."

"Noi do not."

"Do not deceive yourself, even talking about him and the kiss, you are all flushed already. You look like an almost ripened tomato." She pointed at her friend’s cheek to indicate her point, further making Li Jing blush.

"Really, it isn’t anything like that Fen Fen," Li Jing defended again.

"Okay if you say so." Yin Lifen finally sat down on the chair opposite her friend’s. "Now, tell me, how did it feel to have his lips pressed against yours?" Yin Lifen asked out of the blues.

"Lifen!"

"Look at her blush so much. I knew it. You are obviously crushing on him as well."

"It is too soon to jump into conclusions Fen Fen. We are just friends. Oh and that reminds me, I would be needing your help next weekend."

"For what?"

"It is a surprise." A huge grin spread across her face as she raised her brows many times in a cheerful manner.

Yin Lifen knew something was up and looked at her with caution. Li Jing seemed so excited and she knew her friend tried to contain it but she failed miserably at it.

’Next weekend must be nice then. Okay, let us wait.’ Yin Lifen thought.

"By the way, has your annoying sister made any move against you or that new girlfriend, has she done anything stupid?"

"Nope. None at all. Surprisingly, my life has been peaceful apart from the news and Luo Jinhai."

"Speaking of Luo Jinhai, as he called to apologize for his rude behaviour that day?" Yin Lifen questioned.

"Not really but even if he wants to, I most times put my phone off, so he may not be able to reach me."

"Doesn’t he know how to send a text message? What kind of a person is he? If not that we know each other all to well, I would have personally blocked his number from your phone."

"Yin Lifen."

"No, I won’t have it. I would only let this slide because he is most probably heartbroken by you."

"I know and I feel sorry."

"Don’t be. He should know he does not have the right to talk to you that way in the first place like he was your uncle or something."

"Okay. Let him be. I have heard all you have to say. Come, let us prepare something nice to eat. I am starving."

On Friday, Ye Cheng was in his office, going through the marketing slide Li Jing ad pitched to Mr Kang and was amazed at how well her ideas were going to hit and make both companies blow.

True to what Mr Kang said to him, she deserved it and more. She deserved a better position and if she was to have her own company, it would not take her time to rise to the top.

It was just a shame to her family’s company to lose her. But who was he to complain? With her, he knew his business was secured and he was glad to have someone like her as a friend and an employee.

Once the time was right, he decided to help her start up something if she wished. He would not limit her shining and let her blossom.

Although it took more than just wits to run a company and he hoped she would learn while with him.

As he was etched deep in his thoughts, his phone buzzed on his desk and he leaned in to check the caller.

It was an unknown number and the moment he saw that it was a number he did not know, he became at an alert just in case and did not want to pick the call at first.

His mind drifted back to the week of the accident and how it all started from a phone call.

He winced when his mind took him to the explosion and quickly closed his eyes, trying to calm his racing heartbeat.

He had hidden this from everybody and anybody since the last thing he wanted was some unwanted concern.

He also hid it well from Li Jing and only allowed it to show back then when he subconsciously hugged her in his sleep the time she saved him.

He had always had the events of that day plague his dreams and had still not come over the experience even after weeks had passed.

He took in a deep breath and answered the call with a stern cold voice. No longer would he condole rubbish from anyone again.

"Speak!" His cold voice echoes deeply on the other end of the phone and if I was any paparazzi or normal person, they would have flinched from hearing him speak.

Still, the caller did not say anything and after two heartbeats, Ye Cheng ended the call. But seconds later his phone buzzed again from the same caller.

He was running out of patience already. He answered the call again and his voice became even colder than before.

"You have two seconds to end the call if you are a paparazzi."

"And if I am not?"
