CHAPTER 513

"Yay! I won," Gu Guang half yelled again.

"Yes. You did. I am proud of you. Congrats."

"Really? Is Li Jing proud of me?"

"Yes, you wanted to win and you proved it but you know what would make me prouder?" Gu Guang shook her head innocently. "When you stop drinking. It doesn't take your sorrows away but only compounds your problems. If he broke up with you, then he is not worth your tears."

She took the glass cup from her hands and dropped it on the boy's tray who surprisingly happened to be there.

"Thanks." Although she found it odd a bit, she brushed it off. Thinking he was just doing his job.

"You are more precious than to be wasting your tears and getting yourself drunk because of a guy. Brace up. I know how hurtful it is but you are better than this."

The more Li Jing spoke, the more touched the girl was and in the next second, she burst into tears.

Seeing that she somehow made matters worse, Li Jing decided to take the girl elsewhere so she could cry her heart out.

"Come." Leading her towards the back of the hall, close to the bar, she picked two seats and helped the girl into one.

"I am sorry. I never meant to make you cry," Li Jing apologized.

"No, it is not your fault. I.." she sniffed. "I just, I was too heartbroken and did not know whom to pour it to. My friend ignored me, pushing me to you because she did not want to bear the responsibility of seeing me drunk."

"Oh, wow. That wasn't nice of you not to be here for you. Do not worry. I won't leave you. You would get better."

"Thanks."

"So, you still want to talk or to just take a rest?"

"Umm, well, I miss him, you know. So much that it hurts each time I think about him."

"Of course you would miss him. It is only natural."

That was how they spent the next ten minutes talking and before Li Jing knew it, Gu Guang was already dozing off like mad.

Seeing that she too was feeling funny, she decided to help the girl up to rest as she was tired of talking or listening as the case may be.

"Come let me help you to rest."

She looked around her. There were more than enough big sharks here. Anyone could take advantage of her in the name of helping her,' she thought. 'I better book a room for her.'

Helping her up, Li Jing escorted the young lady away from the party and finally, they managed to get to one of the empty rooms upstairs.

On getting there, she helped her to bed and placed the covers on her. Gu Guang who was already sleeping rolled over and began muttering some words. "Hot.. Fan, hot.."

"Huh? But the air conditioner is switched on so why would she.."

Before she could leave, she started feeling hot as well. "Indeed this place feels hot or was it that we talked or drank too much?"

Feeling light-headed, she decided to catch her breath first and when she felt good, return to the party.

Not feeling good, she decided to inform Ye Cheng as she sat down at the empty side of the bed.

"Honey.. I.. not feel goooood. Resting."

She managed to type the words and sent them to Ye Cheng.

By the time he got the message, he looked up from his phone, trying to spot Li Jing but he did not see her in the crowd.

It was hard not to spot her seeing that her outfit made her stand out. So that made him worry.

Quickly, he excused himself from his associate and called for his men. "Where is my wife? Have you seen Li Jing?"

"No boss."

historical

"Why? Ask the others if they have spotted her."

"Yes, boss."

Turning his head to the side a little, he touched his ear pod and spoke. "Any info on the madam?"

"Aye." Looking at Ye Cheng, he nodded. "She was seen going upstairs with a drunk girl."

Before he could inform him about anything, Ye Cheng moved.

His mind was in shambles. Something about this whole thing wasn't right. First Li Xiy and Hao Huizhng were seen together and now this?

As he went, his mind flashed back to days before then.

After their outing with Tang Zixin, he got a mail from Tang Zixin and when he saw it, it was pictures of someone stalking him and Li Jing.

Since then he had been on the lookout for any suspicious activity around his wife but he refused to tell her not wanting to scare her if indeed they were after him and not her.

'Damn it, Li Jing. Where are you?' He was worried. He tried reaching her phone but her phone was switched off. "Bloody hell, li Jing.. Now is not the time to be off. God!"

Just then he heard some people not far from him speak and paused.

"Hey, I just got a tip, the young miss is in a room in the hotel with a man.

"Wow. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I think the source is correct. Come, let us hurry. This would be huge if we can report it first. We do not want that reporter Ying Yue to find out before us. It is our ticket to be popular."

"But which miss?"

"It said it looked like the exquisite beauty, Li Jing. That is why we must hurry."

By the time Ye Cheng turned around, they had moved away but were still talking

"Where is she by the way?"

"I heard she was in room 1109."

"Okay, 1109 here we come."

Ye Cheng looked up at the building. "1109. Damn it, I need to get there and confirm this first. What would she be doing? Did someone help her up because she was sick or was it.. Not this had to be a plot."

Quickly he got his phone out and called. "Hey, block the elevators from the south and north. On no account should anyone get in there before me?"

"Yes sir."

"If they argue, let them use the stairs."

"Yes sir."
