Chapter 158 - Li Jing's Anger

CHAPTER 158

"What!" Ye Cheng could barely believe how the conversation changed top blaming him

historical

"Yes, Ye Cheng. I said it and I mean it." Gone was her scared expression, what was left was anger that it replaced itself with.

It was one thing to blame her when it was her fault and another to blame her when it wasn’t.

Did you once consider the implications of your actions? No, you didn’t. Did you once seek for my permission before you did? No, you did not. Did you even consider that you were putting me at risk? Let me guess the answer to that as well. No."

"Li Jing."

"Save it, Ye Cheng. ALL OF YOUR ACTIONS, not once did you consider the implications did you."

That was a slap to his face. It was a b ad lie because he did consider her but never did he expect this today. "Li Jing."

"I do not want to..." she raised her hands in front of her chest to silent him when he shouted.

"Li Jing. Just listen to me, okay. I am sorry I got you into this without your permission but up till this day, starting from when I first met you till now, never have I done anything without considering its implications on you."

"Then explain this. Was this part of your plan to have them hate me? My life was quiet before all of this, Ye Cheng."

"I am sorry. I never thought things would escalate into this. It is obvious those crazy fans were hired by my enemies."

"Then why did you fail to foresee that?" Ye Cheng did not know how he was to res[pond to her question. He was equally tongue tied. "I expected better. You are just as responsible for this as I am, Ye Cheng, even worse. So please next time think things through. If you want to irk someone then be prepared for the worse case possible."

All she said made sense and was the entire truth. His failure to think that Bai Qing Mei would retaliate in that way left him open and endangered Li Jing too.

"I am so sorry. Pardon my actions."

"Just this time, I would not accept such in the future. You know better than this the battle you have to fight against them, so be careful."

"Yes. I will. Thanks." She was still fuming with anger at him. She expected better actually.

RING!

Just then Ye Cheng’s phone began to ring, pulling their attention away from their anger. It was Hua Diuyi and Ye Cheng could already guess why he was calling/

"Sir. I am sorry but I have lost Miss Li. She went in a shop to get something and I waited but now, I have been looking for her and..."

"She is at the office. Do not worry. You can go back home."

"Oh, my apologies sir, I never expected her to."

"It is okay." He cut the call and returned his gaze back to her. "Another thing, Hua DFuyi is there for your safety, please do not ditch him again."

"Ye Cheng I am not a kid that needs someone following me everywhere I go."

"You know this is not the same, Li Jing. They know you are involved with me. It is risky for you to be out there alone." Hearing him say involved, her naughty mind explained a different thing and her cheeks became flushed.

Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes at her and was confused by her change in expression. It was obvious her adrenaline was still doing wonders in her body and causing different changes or was it mood swings on its own?

He tried to recall what it was that he had said to make her behave that way but was finding it hard until it clicked.

’I cannot believe she is flushed because I made mention of being involved with me. She should know I never meant it.’ Ye Cheng thought inwardly before clearing his throat to get her attention.

"I meant that my enemies are aware that you helped me and you still am, so they would want to target you in other to get to me. So, please and please do not do anything rash again."

Li Jing now better understood the point he was coming from and smiled back at him. "I won’t and so should you."

"Deal."

"So what would you do now that she is fighting back?"

"I have threatened to sue the protesters if they do not leave there soon."

"No, I meant Bai Qing Mei."

"She?"

He was not shocked that she could easily figure it out that it was Bai Qing Mei though. Unknown to him, Li Jing had come across the post about Bai Qing Mei and himself on the social media so she had a fair share of understanding that this was done by Her Witchiness.

"I would send them a message in my own way. Rest assured."

"Okay. I better head back to the office. I need to finalize everything for the pitching meeting with Mr Kang."

"Sure, no worries. Thank you. You can relate with Jack for whatever you need to prepare that meeting. I need to plan and put things in place to have the best January Bidding Proposal so we can win it and do the 2021 project."

"Okay. I would leave you to it then."

She bade him farewell and exited his office, feeling better than when the whole day initially started then proceeded to her office.

At the end of the day, she was mega stressed out due to all her planning and just needed to rest, so she decided to go home and continue at night.

Before leaving, she called Hua Duyi to inform him she was ready and waited for his arrival before descending to the down floor.

Just at the lobby, she ran into the strawberry blonde guy that had saved her in the morning and she recalled Ye Cheng wasn’t pleased with him.

She needed to apologize for that, as well as her failure in thanking him and officially thanking him.

"Hello!" Li Jing called out to him.

Seeing as he was the only one down that time, he turned to look at who was calling him.

His face lit up when he recognized her and waited for her to walk over to him. "Hello. How are you?" He asked her, feeling concerned that she may still be in shock due to what happened today.

"I am fine, thanks to you."
