Chapter 150 - Angry Ye Cheng
*******
CHAPTER 150
Li Jing snapped back to reality. She could not stay silent any longer and let these men plan her schedule like she was a toddler. "I am not going to be busy every day in the calendar month and Luo Jinhai you just do not fix dates without asking when would be convenient for me."
"Exactly," Ye Cheng added.
"Same goes for you. My working hours end at 4 pm. I decided whether I want my butt worked off or not, not you."
This was a change of event and Li Jing feeling angry at their behaviour suddenly pulled away from Ye Cheng’s arms while he was still in a daze at her little outburst.
"Li Jing."
"That’s it, I am not busy and very busy. Says who we have tons of work that I cannot have my free time any longer?
"Well, you do not. We have so much to do." Ye Cheng chipped in again, his face turning cold and authoritative."
"Who are you to..." Luo Jinhai started to say but Ye Cheng cut in.
"I am her boss."
"Urggh! Men!" Li Jing threw her hands in the air and walked out on both of them. It was useless talking to them when they were like that. She resigned her fate to the lovely evening breeze instead. At least it was calmer than these their squabbles.
Naughty bunch of high school boys!
"Li Jing," Ye Cheng called out to her and hurried after her.
"Run after her. I would get her from you." Luo Jinhai said but Ye Cheng ignored it and followed after her.
It just felt like her day would never get any rest just because of the people in her life and it was becoming annoying that she had to go through all these day in, day out.
She hadn’t gone far when Ye Cheng chased after her and caught her wrist. "Li Jing, wait."
"Why"
"Calm down. I am sorry." She had least expected him to apologize but here he was saying sorry.
She stopped struggling against his hand and waited for him to speak but she still had her body facing forward and ignoring him.
"I know I shouldn’t have said that. I just did nit want him to speak to you like he did before at the bar."
"Okay."
"And then again, you deserve the best. and I know you have the right to decide. I was just helping you since I saw you put yourself in a situation that you could not get out of."
"Thanks for the concern but I can handle myself, Ye Cheng."
"I know, I know. It was just a little help." Li Jing raised her brows and turned to face him.
"Did you just say just a little?"
"Okay, okay. I went over board, I am truly sorry. I never intended to dictate your life for you."
’I know but hearing you two was just sickening."
"I’m sorry. Please."
"Besides, I already had it covered up. I am not free as I would be going on a date with Tang Zixin."
"What?!"
GBAGHAN!
*Plate shatteres*
Ouchie! How could she have forgotten and mentioned that in front of him? Li Jing, tsk...
On a second thought, it was her life and she had every right to go out with whomever she wished, whether they liked it or not. Besides, Tang Zixin wouldn’t behave this way.
"Yes. He asked me for a dinner tomorrow."
That was it, Ye Cheng’s already calm and soft expression turned sour all of a sudden. Li Jing noticed the change in his expression and for a minute there she thought she saw his irises darken but reverted back quickly.
While she was distracted, she did not notice him lean down and take her hand. It was when he pulled her away that she even knew her hand was in his.
"Hey! Where are you going to?"
"Taking you home. You have stayed in this party long enough."
"But I want to enjoy this vicinity for some time more."
"No."
"Ye Cheng!"
"Li Jing." He halted in his steps and she almost collided at his back but thankfully to good reflexes she stopped in time. Ye Cheng did nit say anything but instead he turned around and pulled her hand up, bringing her body closer to his.
The deadpan silence that followed was thickened as he stared into her lovely eyes with his dark ones, exuding a terror in them.
She just defiled his will and he did nit like it one bit. Li Jing was shaken to her bones by the intense gaze she was getting.
This was not the usual soft calm side she knew. Even when he was angry, he still never showed her this but today, he did.
No one spoke, eyes staring into he other, daring the other to disobey again and the other too shocked by the recent change to.
Her lips were clamped shut now and she was no longer talking and complaining. After what seemed to be like hours, Ye Cheng finally came down from whatever high he was on and realized she had shock written over her.
He blinked and as quickly as those dark and dull yet harmfully daring her eyes came, they reverted to his normal peaceful cold eyes.
"Let’s go." He released her from his grip, but his hand still held her small wrists. There was no room for questions and Li Jing obediently followed him.
They walked on in silence till they got to his car and the driver opened the car door for them to go in.
All through their drive, no one spoke tp the other. They all kept quiet and reflected in what had happened that evening. Li Jing so much wanted to talk to him but his mood still had not relaxed and that had worried her.
Did she anger him so much? Was her daring him the problem? She did not know much but she knew it wasn’t good.
Minutes later they arrived at her apartment and the driver opened the doors for her to step out but Ye Cheng refused to follow.
Following the awkward silence, she did not know what to say either other than...
"Thanks for tonight. Good night."
