CHAPTER 124

Minutes pa.s.sed and Ye Cheng could still not bear with the anger. He got up and picked his car keys then walked out of his office.

Since the previous day, Li Jing had not still seen Ye Cheng and her heart and mind were troubled just thinking that he wasn't okay.

She quickly cleared her desk and finished with her schedule for the day, then decided to pay Ye Cheng a visit.

On her way to his office, she heard the elevator made noise and turned her gaze at the elevator only to see the person she had been thinking off inside it. Just as the doors were about to close, Li Jing quickly called out his name.

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Cheng lifted his head slowly but before he could see her face clearly, the door closed.

"Ye Cheng. Where is he going to?"

Since he did not answer her, Li Jing decided to find out from Han Qing Qing where her boss was headed and continued to where she was going.

Meanwhile, Ye Cheng who had heard her call his name could vaguely see the confused look on her face and wanted to stop the elevator to meet her but his mind kicked against it and he stopped.

The last thing he wanted now was for her to see him that way. E was a mess already and he knew it. He did not know how he was going to handle the betrayal as it had hurt him deeply.

Forgetting the fact that Bai Qing Mei was his girlfriend, she was first his best friend and he wondered how many times they must have laughed at him behind his back for his stupidity.

He was also blaming himself for not seeing through their schemes and for befriending them when they approached him back then.

What had hurt him the most was that before the accident, he had started loving Bai Qing Mei more than before. Although, at first it was just a trial relations.h.i.+p since she said she loved him and would want to be his girlfriend.

Ye Cheng refused her but after some months, he saw that she was really changing and becoming depressed about his rejection and it started affecting their friends.h.i.+p. That was when he gave in and agreed to date her.

But has time progressed, he started having feelings for her. She was the first girl he actually started showing such care to as all his life he hated the idea of a relations.h.i.+p, seeing her useless his parent's own became.

He wanted someone who he could love and trust and would love him in the same way too but he never found that person and that was why he had refused the idea of entering a relations.h.i.+p for fun as his friend would say.

His mind was in a mess now and he did not think he could face Li Jing. No, she deserved not to see him like this. It would hurt her.

Why he was suddenly bothered about Li Jing, he did not know the answer to that question as well but somehow, thinking about her brought a bit of comfort to his aching heart.

Still, he could not bring himself to letting her see him this way. It would be better if he just went somewhere n.o.body knew him and drown his sorrows away.

And that he did.

Li Jing arrived in front of Han Qing Qing's table looking all worried and confused. Han Qing Qing noticed it and gave her a tight-lipped smile.

"h.e.l.lo, Li Jing. He just left."

"I saw. I saw." Hearing it from Han Qing Qing should not have had any effect but rather, it made her feel even sad than she was.

"Is anything the matter?" Han Qing Qing asked.

"No, it is just that I have been trying to reach him since yesterday. I just hope he is alright."

"Honestly, I do not think he is."

"Did anything happen to him?" Li Jing quickly asked.

"Perhaps you can try and call him up." Han Qing Qing's smile widened at her, giving her hope and a little encouragement.

"Okay, I would. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Li Jing took a U-turn and retraced her steps back to where she was coming from. She decided to give him some time before calling him as he was looking dishevelled and stressed from the little she could see of him before the elevator's door closed.

Letting out a deep sigh, she walked off in the direction of her office.

––––

Luo Jinhai had been trying to reach Li Jing ever since he saw the news. Unfortunately, the news got to him quite late as he had some things he needed to take care of and travelled.

Only for him to return and he heard that the almighty Ye Cheng allowed his face to be revealed with a beautiful girl by his side.

Curious about the issue, he asked his friend if he had the pictures and luckily, his friend, Jun Tai Hua saved a screenshot of the news.

Immediately he was shown the picture, rather than look at Ye Cheng who everybody wanted to see, something else took his attention away.

His eyes narrowed at the phone screen and he zoomed in on the girl.

Noticing what he was looking at Jun Tai Hua smiled to himself before breaking the silence. "Oh, I see, you have good taste. Well, who wouldn't when they set their eyes on a lovely beauty like that. Do you also have eyes for her?"

Hs friend arched his eyebrows at him repeatedly in a playful manner as he waited for Luo Jinhai to answer his question.

Rather than a playful shy smile from his friend as always when he was teased about a girl, Luo Jinhai frowned and returned the phone to him.

That was definitely not the kind of reaction he was expecting. "Hey, what is it?" Jun Tai Hua asked.

He was surprised that his friend would frown at the picture. Did he know the girl from somewhere or what? Jun Tai Hua could not figure it out but wait for him to speak.

"Luo Jinhai!"
