Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 440 - Return 1

*************

CHAPTER 440

Now that the family was intact, Li Jing was glad. It simply means she could go about her business and also return to her husband.

And just to ease her burden, Mrs Lin Huilang agreed to stay one more week and tend to things on behalf of Li Jing while her brother-in-law recuperates.

"Thank you so much, auntie. I really appreciate it."

"Anything for my favourite grandniece. Now you need to hurry before you miss your flight. Alix and I are here to fix things for you. You need not worry yourself too much," Lin Huilang said.

"Yes, auntie. I really am grateful."

"Besides, I know Ye Cheng would be eager to have you home to himself. Now do not keep that lovely husband of your waiting and hurry otherwise you would have a crying grandfather ron your neck."

"Hey, I heard that," Lin Zian quickly interjected.

Li Jing turned to look at him. She felt bad to be leaving him but life must go on. He had a face full of smiles about him. He was glad, not because she was leaving but that he had gained her back.

"I never hid what I said."

"Hmm. Anyways, why would I cry when I can always book a flight and g see her in Star Cross City?"

"You will?"

"You bet I would. I would not miss it for anything in the world."

"Yayy!" she screamed, forgetting she was no longer a child and from the corners of her eyes she could see her auntie giving her the warning look. No one had to tell her that it was indeed time to escape. "Thanks, grandpa. Okay, I need to get going now before auntie Huilang pounce on them."

'Nah, she adores you too much too, but let's be o the safer side. Hurry along now."

"Take care auntie, I love you." Li Jing moved in close and hugged her before das.h.i.+ng out the door to enter the car.

"Awwwn, such a cheerful soul," Lin Huilang complimented out loud.

"Yeah. Once again, joy has returned to my life."

"I bet Ye Cheng is lucky to have her. He would be so joyed having her back."

"True."

"Oh yes, brother-in-law," she began turning to her side to look at him. "When do you intend for that visit? You need to see your son-in-law you know."

"I know, do not worry. I would make adequate preparation."

"Great!"

Meanwhile, Ye Cheng had returned home and carried on with his normal day to day activities. Unknown to him, Bai Qing Mei had acquired for herself a new accomplice which was one person he never wanted to see.

Taking a break from work, he decided to close early and take his business meeting with some of his a.s.sociates to an outing meeting where they could eat and relax.

Unknown to him, Li Xiu had been tailing his movements, waiting for an opportunity to strike since Li Jing was out of town and her last plan had backfired.

"Yes, Mr Kang. Indeed things have gone more smoothly than we could have hoped for. Yes. Be rest a.s.sured, all has been settled and the projects set in place," Ye Cheng said into the phone.

"Thank you very much, Ye Cheng. I knew you would deliver. You are one of the best businessmen I know."

"Thanks. It is a shame you are not here in person. It has been long since we had since."

"Yes. Once I return from my trip, would be sure to stop by. My regards to Li Jing, please."

"No worries. She would hear of it."

As soon as the call dropped, Ye Cheng smiled a bit to the representative from Mr Knag's company.

"Pardon me, please. I would briefly use the restroom."

"No problem sir. Take your time."

With that, he stood up and headed for his destination.

All through the meeting, he had been checking his phone to see if he got any message from Li Jing but till now nothing.

He even went as far as leaving her a message online but she did not respond to it. He tried calling her, her phone was not reachable.

All efforts proved abortive to even reach her. He was beginning to get worried quickly. He missed his wife but yet he could not have her.

'Sigh! Li Jing come on, get your phone n or something.' He thought within him.

Remembering that being with her phone or putting it on was not her strong point, Ye Cheng resigned himself to his worries and tried to be at his best self.

It wasn't going to help if he worried and she was okay. He knew she was at her grandfather's place and even if things wanted to go terrible, he was sure she was more than capable of handling it.

That was why he wasn't too bothered but even at that, nothing beat hearing her voice.

Finally, he got to the restroom and went in to do his business.

No sooner had he arrived there than a silhouette followed suit. Due to the fact that he had been busy worrying over his wife, he did not pay attention that someone was following him.

Left to him, whoever was behind was heading in the same direction.

However, by the time he finished and was about to exit the restroom, the door shut close with a loud sound, catching him off guard as he had least expected for that to happen and who walked out from the bend leading to the exit was…

"Li Xiu."

"h.e.l.lo, handsome." She licked her lips at him as she eyed him through her lashes and closed the gap between them.

"Get out of my sight this instant," Ye Cheng said with disdain laced not only in his tone but also in the look he gave her.

"Oh, please, do not be such a killjoy. I know you must have been lonely and missing some of this good action down here."

As she said that, she slid her hand seductively down her stomach till she got to her crotch area and winked at him.
