CHAPTER 161
"The cameras showed that Hong Haoran was standing close to the entrance of the building but he refused to go inside and when the rioting started, he ran to help you. It seemed fishy and so he decided to go to the restaurant while informing me about what was happening. That was when he caught him adding something to your drink and you stupidly took it and drank from it."
Li Jing pursed her lips when she heard his explanation.
It was indeed true that she stupidly accepted a drink that wasn’t poured on her arrival but prior. She was just too trusting and naïve and it almost caused her.
"I am sorry." Li Jing apologized in a whisper.
"Sorry is not good enough Li Jing. I need you to behave better and do not do things without thinking first. You should know better. You are not a kid anymore." Ye Cheng scolded her.
He continued speaking and failed to notice that Li Jing had started feeling uncomfortable.
"Ye Cheng." Her voice came out in a whisper as her fingers fumbled with her zipper at her back. It was not until sometime later that Ye Cheng finally looked at her and wondered why she refused to answer him.
"Li Jing! What is wrong?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer dress had already come down her left shoulder a bit and her face was now flushed. "Li Jing."
The more he called her name and she wanted to answer him, the more she was feeling hot with each passing minute.
Ye Cheng quickly held her shoulders and turned her around to face him. This action had only made her body to tingle further and she felt an uncontrollable kind of heat where his hand was on her barely skin and let out a soft moan.
"Damn it!" Ye Cheng’s eyes flew open as realization dawned on him.
She had indeed taken a mouthful of the drink before he stopped her from doing harm to herself. It was obvious that it was the effect of the drugs that she was feeling.
The next thing he knew, Li Jing tried to push him off as she was feeling hot and uncomfortable but the moment her hands made contact with his chest, her brain went a-wire as her soft palms felt hardened muscles underneath his shirt.
She smiled sheepishly before biting down on her lower lip as the memory of how it felt for her body to lean against strong muscles and chiselled chests.
And then she let her fingers crawl up his chest to his neck and back down, allowing both hands to explore the perfect figure in front of her.
Ye Cheng did not need anybody to tell him that things were getting out of hand and that she needed a doctor.
"Quickly, hurry to Star Cresent Hospital ASAP. and put a call through to Long Lei."
"Yes sir," both the driver and bodyguard said in unison.
"Ye Cheng, I’m hot. I... aah... Please." Ye Cheng did not know what she was begging him for but with the way she was behaving, it was not helping matters to him as well.
Luckily for Li Jing, he had self-control and he did not think with the lower half of his body alone.

In no time they arrived at the hospital and Li Jing was quickly put on a stretcher and taken to a ward. Due Ye Cheng’s influence, the best doctor was sent for to attend to Li Jing but that only irked the rich prince.
"Where the hell is Long Lei?" Ye Cheng yelled when he saw that the doctor that came was someone else.
"I am sorry sir, but Dr Long Lei is currently in the operation room." One of the nurses apologized.
"Not good enough. Why didn’t someone else handle the surgery?"
"Forgive me, sir, we can take a look at the patient and render some..."
"I do not need it," Ye Cheng sharply cut the doctor that came to attend to Li Jing short in his speech.
"He would soon be done with the surgery now," An older looking nurse chipped in.
Due to her age, Ye Cheng did not argue further and did not say anything further. "Fine."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So should we attend to her or do you still want to wait for Dr Long?" the older nurse asked.
"Huh..." Just as he was thinking of he should let another doctor threat Li Jing he heard a familiar voice. "Ah, finally."
"I see you just couldn’t wait for me to come back before causing trouble here, huh Ye Cheng?" A young and handsome man putting on green hospital wear spoke from behind the doctor.
"Dr Long." The two nurses and doctor chorused as soon as they heard his voice.
"I think you should stop talking and let your hands do the diagnosis then get to work."
Even though his words carried humour in them, his facial expression was void of any such expression and what actually remained was a slight frown as he folded his hands and watched his friend from where he sat beside Li Jing’s bed.
"Tsk, you never learn. It is why your father scolds you and have a headache each day," Long Lei said shaking his head as he proceeded forward close to Li Jing’s bed.
"You may go," Long Lei said to the others when he got to where Li Jing laid on the bed.
"Yes sir," they chorused and went away, leaving Ye Cheng, Li Jing and Dr Long alone in the room.
He did not need second telling on what was going on as he was already well informed about the case on ground and how Ye Cheng refused to let any other doctor treat him that was why he hurried here.
"And you are just the same. Hurry Long Lei, help her."
"I will. Stop being such a worrywart. If you wanted to help her so much, then why didn’t you let Dr Zhen treat her?"
Immediately the words fell out of his moth, Long Lei regretted it as the cold gaze Ye Cheng shot at him almost made him freeze in place. He did not need someone to tell him that Ye Cheng was dead serious.
