Chapter 171 - Surprise!

CHAPTER 171

She could not wait to see the look on his face when he finally came inside. She looked like a child who was waiting to show her parent her perfect exam score.

"Yes! Perfect."

In two minutes time, she heard the doorbell ruing, knowing fully well who it was.

Just as the door pulled open, Ye Cheng stood tall at the doorway and looked down at her.

She was not dressed like someone who was ready to go out but like someone who wanted to stay home.

She wore a simple pair of black jean shorts that ended just above the knee and a blue tank top with a similar colour of bra inside.

Ye Cheng’s brows creased at the sight. This was not because she wasn’t looking beautiful in her not so elegant outfit but she still was great.

It was as though she wasn’t ready at all and that was what had made his mood changed.

"Li Jing."

Before he could utter any words from his mouth, Li Jing held his right wrist and pulled him into her condo unit.

"Wait."

"I need help first then I may change into something else but for now, this is acceptable."

"Fine." Because of his slight anger, he had failed to perceive the nice aroma that filled the house and when he did, he looked at Li Jing from up to down and then back up again before letting his gaze linger on her small and petite cute face.

"You..."

"Nah-uhh..." Ye Cheng did not understand what she meant and found her words rater confusing. To make it simple for him, she placed a hand on her lips to signify for him to keep quiet before intertwining her hands in his now raised arm and turning him around to face the dining table.

There on the dining table laid several plates of different dishes, both continental and homemade dish.

"Surprise! Your thank-you dinner." Li HJing introduce as her other hand spread to the side, gesturing at what she meant.

Ye Cheng’s face was full of smiles at what she did and did not know how he was going to thank her and appreciate her for this.

Indeed she got him right. He was surprised and speechless. Even though his face didn’t show much of it, it still reflected in his eyes as he peeled them away from the dishes on the table and brought them to her face.

"Thank you." Ye Cheng thanked her and leaned down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.

Before his lips could find their way to her forehead, Li Jing pulled back instinctively and pulled on his arm, bringing him to the table.

He was stunned that his advances just got thrown away like he didn’t matter but seeing her chirpy and happy self, Ye Cheng brushed it aside and followed her.

"You really got me there. I can’t believe I fell for your tricks."

"What? I do not have Yin Lifen as a friend for nothing." Li Jing stated.

<Yin Lifen: Achoo! Who is cursing me right now or speaking ill of me?>

"I am impressed. You are becoming more enlightened if I must say and more mischievous."

"I would take that as a compliment, Ye Cheng. I simply just do not want to be trampled on by anyone anymore."

"I like that. I am so sorry for everything that has been going on since you met me, Li Jing. I do not wish that this become your everyday life with me."

"It is okay. We both have problems in our lives anyway. My sister ended up causing troubles for you because of me."

"And my ex wants to cause a riot to harm you. Hahaha..."

"Touché. We would scale through. You’ve got me. I am not going anywhere."

"Thanks. You have me too. I would do my very best to protect you."

"Now do not be cheesy and eat before your meal gets cold." Li Jing quickly ordered him to distract him from the blush that was already forming on her cheeks due to his words and his heated gaze.

He could very well grasp what she was trying to do and decided to just save her the embarrassment. She looked so gorgeous when she smiled, no matter what outfit she wore.

"I will. If I had known, I would have ordered the best wine for this dinner. I planned on buying while shopping."

"It’s all good. Perhaps some other time."

Ding!

Both Li Jing and Ye Cheng looked at the door before returning their gaze at each other. "Expecting someone?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Umm... I am not sure." Ye Cheng raised a brow at her. If she wasn’t expecting someone then who was it? "Oh wait!"

That was when the thoughts clicked into Li Jing’s head and she nodded her reply at him. "I’ll be right back."

She smiled briefly, before getting up and hurriedly walking up to the door with Ye Cheng’s eyes escorting her from behind.

Before long, he heard a familiar voice and his brows creased. ’What’s he doing here?’ Ye Cheng thought but he did not look further to see who it was.

Rather he sat on his seat and waited gallantly for the new guest.

"I brought some champagne, I hope you do not mind?" He heard the masculine voice announce to Li Jing who was still at the door.

"Really, then that is great. Come on in."

Ye Cheng heard the man that came in, sniff and then he uttered something he would later regret doing. "Why do I smell that naughty boss here?" Yi Wang Lei asked. "Was he here a while back?" He asked again and Li Jing could only smile seeing as he just put himself in trouble.

"No, the naughty boss is still around." Ye Cheng’s voice rang out just as Yi Wang lei was walking further into the living room.

He turned around sharply and his eyes locked on his friend’s. ’Damn it, I am doomed.’ Yi Wang Lei thought.

"Ye Cheng!"
