Chapter 162 - The Fake Death Girl?

*******

CHAPTER 162

He knew how he hated people touching him due to his obsession with cleanliness. Then again, this wasn’t him but a girl. So why?

Instinctively, Long Lei peeled his eyes off Ye Cheng and let his wondering gaze drop on the lady on the bed. The moment he laid eyes on her that was when he understood why.

Even though he was always busy, that did not prevent him from checking the news and social media every once in a while and that once, he happened to see Li Jing on two occasions with Ye Cheng.

"So this is her?"

"Yes, she drank a spiked drink and has been like this since," Ye Cheng quickly briefed him on what happened.

"I meant she is the one that has been blowing up the news with you.’

Ye Cheng shot him a warning gaze before ordering him. "Just threat her, Long Lei and I would not trouble you for a week."

"You can do better." Long Lei said and peeled his gaze off Li Jing to look at his friend, daring him to change the deal.

Ye Cheng could be a real big troublemaker and he just did not want his disturbance for more than a week.

Although they were friends, Long Lei was hardly ever seen but when Ye Cheng begins to disturb him, he always regretted it.

"Fine, two weeks off from being my personal doctor."

"You can do..."

"No more, but it can be less if you become too greedy." Ye Cheng warned, earning a smile from his friend.

"I can help her but then, I am confused about one thing. Why bring her to me when you know what she needs? Or is it that you do not know exactly how to relieve a wom..."

"One week off. Keep on talking and I would make your work harder."

Seeing as he was a lost cause to tease, Long Lei sighed and went straight to work.

By the time they were done, he looked at his friend and smiled cutely at him. "She would be okay. She can go home once she wakes up or by tomorrow morning," Long Lei teased him but Ye Cheng still had a strong face.

"Okay."

"Okay? Is that all I get?" Long Lei asked.

"What more are you looking for?"

"Tsk, I would be on my way then." Long Lei cast one more glance on Li Jing before looking at Ye Cheng and left the room.

Ye Cheng who had since ignored the latter to focus his attention on Li Jing did not notice the look that Long Lei gave to him.

All his mind and attention were focused on Li Jing. She was intelligent but na?ve nonetheless and being with him would entail several dangerous situations. She needed to be careful but she wouldn’t listen.

’Just maybe she would be the one to change him.’ Long Lei thought as he walked away.

All through the time, they knew him, Ye Cheng had always been cold to others except his close friends but even at that, he refused to love.

Long Lei was actually surprised when he saw Bai Qing Mei and him dating and he began to open up some more but even at that, he was still the same annoying, cool, handsome CEO that they knew.

By the time Li Jing woke up, it was already morning and Ye Cheng was nowhere close by, he had already returned to handle some work-related stuff.

Somehow he got Yin Lifen’s number and informed her about her friend being in the hospital. Being the worrywart that she was, Yin Lifen wasted no time hurrying over to see her friend at the hospital.

So when Li Jing woke up, all she saw was a worried Yin Lifen and Hua Duyi in her room.

"Hmm, FenFen?" She rubbed her eyes to clear whatever sleep that was left from them, then looked again to be sure that she was not dreaming.

"Li Jing." Yin Lifen burst into tears the minute her friend called her name and hurried to hug her tightly to herself.

Li Jing was a bit shocked by the hug but nevertheless, she moved her hand and wrapped them around her friend’s waist.

"Do not scare me, Li Jing. You need to be careful," Yin Lifen cautioned her before pulling away from the hug to look into her friend’s eyes.

"FenFen, I..."

"NBoneed," she cut in, saying. "Ye Cheng already informed me about what happened."

"He did?"

"Yes."

"Where is he then? The last I recall was that we were going back home when I started feeling hurt and uncomfortable. That is what I recall last."

Yin Lifen looked at her na?ve friend and shook her head. "You should be thankful Ye Cheng was there or you would have been... I do not want to talk about it as well. Let’s just leave it at that."

"I am sorry to have worried you, Fen Fen," Li Jing apologized as she let herself fall back on the bed to relax.

"I know, but why did you not even ask for my help with him?"

"I just wanted to be free and not have my life monitored, no offence Hua Duyi." She quickly apologized as she recalled that Hua Duyi was still in her ward.

"No worries ma. The young master is only concerned about your wellbeing. I am glad you are okay. I would leave you two to prepare and go get the car."

"Thanks," both ladies chorused at the same time and smiled sweetly at him. He bowed his head respectfully at them and then exited the room.

"You still have a lot to learn Li Jing. Anyways, who do you think is responsible for this. Tell me, I would make sure they pay big time."

"Perhaps Bai Qing Mei?"

"Bai Qing Mei?"

"Yes, she is Ye Cheng’s ex-girlfriend. The one I told you about."

At first, Yin Lifen’s eyes narrowed at Li Jing then seconds later, her eyes widened at the news. She could not believe her ears. She needed to confirm so she knew what to do next. "The fake death girl?"

"Exactly."

"Wow!"
