Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 176 - Pineapple And Apple

***********

CHATER 176

Apparently, Ye Cheng did not know his actions had left her in a daze and when their lips finally connected, it brought her back to reality and that was when she blinked, realizing what was going on.

’Wait, is Ye Cheng... Are we...’

BADUM! BADUM!

Her heart began to thus in her chest with each second that went by but rather than pulling away, she found herself yearning to feel his lips as well.

Letting her eyes drop close as well, Li Jing parted her lips a little bit to feel his on her lips but the naughty Ye Cheng took that opportunity and slid right into her mouth.

The kiss wasn’t rushed as both of them took their time to savour and appreciate what the other gave. It was as if they were just beginners learning how to kiss.

Although that would have been true for Li Jing, but to Ye Cheng who had much experience, he did not understand why he kissed her that way taking his time, but he maintained that pace nonetheless.

He moved his hands up and trailed them to her face, cupping her cheeks in his hands and lightly caressing her them, further allowing her to melt into it.

Everything about that moment felt perfect, right from her soft rosy lips to her soft little tongue, though unskilled but still felt divine.

Ye Cheng felt himself be drawn further into her and wanted to keep tasting her more, kissing her with everything he had while being gentle and demanding.

She tasted of sweet pineapple and apple flavour, just like the drinks she took and that had only intensified the intoxication Ye Cheng felt and he kissed her some more.

She couldn’t match with his intensity and finally began to tire out even though she wanted more than anything for it to continue.

By the time he broke the kiss so they could catch their breaths, Li Jing was already fully red by now and a panting mess as her eyes spurned in her head at how lovely the kiss was.

Never would she have imagined that kissing a guy could be that good. All her little experiences with Duan Tian was never this good. It always felt rushed and never right but something about the way he kissed her made her heart feel fluffy and needing more.

What his kiss was doing to her, only made her imagine how being with him would feel like if she already felt like a jellyfish.

’Get your scattered mind together Li Jing.’ She scolded herself before opening her eyes to meet with his.

Subconsciously, Ye Cheng licked his lips as he gazed deep into her eyes.

He wanted more for some reason but he knew he shouldn’t have more. He did not know what came over him to do that just now but he knew he wanted to. It was like he was a crack person, seeing crack in front of him.

She was his calming tea and he drank her sweetness till his fast-beating heart recalled that it needed to calm down.

He pressed his forehead against hers and rubbed on her cheeks using his thumb finger. "That was simply breathtaking. You are beautiful, Li Jing. I just want you to know that."

She closed her eyes and opened it again, letting his words sink in. "Always take care, promise me."

"I will."

"Good. Have a lovely night." He pulled away and then planted a kiss on her forehead before hugging her and leaving her.

Immediately the door closed shut Li Jing reached up to her lips with her fingers and lightly traced her lips as her mind replayed the whole thing in her head.

"AAHH!"

****

Although that weekend seemed good for Li Jing and Ye Cheng, it still had not yet taken away the trouble on the ground.

Ye Cheng called her when he got home to make sure she was okay and he also checked up on her on Sunday.

He did not want to tell his closest friend, Yi Wang Lei, knowing full well that the latter would tease him about it, so he locked up and awaited when he would see her on Monday morning.

By the time he got to the office, it was a different thing entirely with Mr Kang waiting outside to meet with him.

"Mr Kang," Ye Cheng called out to him the moment he entered the meeting room. "My apologies, I wasn’t informed of your coming. Good morning."

Both men shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. "Please, do have a seat."

"Thank you."

"Please, how can I be of help? What exactly did you want to meet with me for, Mr Kang?"

"According to the footage you sent me and the information passed, I asked my security team do a proper check on the footage and I found the perpetrator."

"Oh really." Ye Cheng raised his brows at the news. This was interesting considering how hard and mad Mr Kang was that they could let such a thing happen and ruin the business plan.

It turned out now that; Dream Star Corporation wasn’t the ones at fault but his own company.

How splendid. Never jump into conclusion or point a finger accusingly at someone as you have three fingers pointing right back at you and one as a witness.

"What happened was..."

*Flashback*

The doors to the luxuriously furnished restaurant opened and three men in expensive suits walked in.

Each of them was of the big class and instantly, waiters rushed up to them to tend to their needs.

Somewhere not too far from where they were lead to was a lady seated behind them but neither of them paid her any heed and went on discussing their company’s progress and some problems.

It was at this point that Mr Kang maid mention of his partnership business with Dream Star Corporation.

"But you mostly do business with new and upcoming businesses to help the young ones grow and meet up. Why did you go for the big shark this time around?" One of the men asked.

"I saw a rare gem and I wanted to work with her. You see, Li Jing’s IQ is one of a kind and Ye Cheng agreed to partner with me because of her tremendous business idea."

"Great for you then. Perhaps I too would do business with them. I trust your insight on these things," the third man spoke up.

"Simple then."

Unknown to them, the lady at their back heard everything they said and just when Mr Kang’s eyes drifted off to where she sat, she quickly raised her menu a bit higher to prevent her face from being seen.

He had shrugged it off as nothing but took note of what she wore, her watch and her hairdo, even her walking steps when she exited the restaurant soon after.

He knew she looked familiar and wanted to beckon on her but he kicked against it due to his respect for his friends.

It was when he saw the CCTV footage and he caught the culprit handing over a flash drive to her as she was still having the same hairdo as that day, he saw and knew who it was.

It was Li Xiu.
