CHAPTER 179

Luo Jinhai nodded at her before continuing his speech. "But now that you and Duan Tian are no longer dating, I decided to confess to you and let you know how I feel. Li Jing, would you be my woman?"

Okay, all these were happening all too fast for Li Jing who was finding it hard to believe the calm Luo Jinhai she always knew would voice at his feelings just like that.

"You do not have to give me an answer now but think about it." Luo Jinhai quickly added before she said anything. "Please I would love for you to give me and you a try. I promise I would cherish you with all of my heart and everything that I got."

Li Jing wasn’t so sure how she was going to answer him especially as he was being sincere about her and recalling how his face changed when she mentioned Ye Cheng.

He was definitely going to be jealous and she knew she couldn’t handle his jealousy.

"Luo Jinhai, I appreciate you coming out to me like this. It means a lot."

"I want what is best for you, Li Jing."

"Thank you very much. I know, but what I feel for you isn’t the same."

"Li Jing, please wait. I told you, I do not need an answer right now, Give it a thought, please. I am here for you. I want to take care of you and give you all I can in this life. Whatever it is that you want me to do for you to be mine, tell me, I would do it. I love you."

Li Jing took a deep breath. Things were getting out of hand and she knew it. Sigh!

She did not need to actually think about it and could give him an answer right there and then but she decided not to.

"Fine. I would wait and reconsider your words."

"Thank you."

"It is okay. Now, can we get back to our meal?" Li Jing chipped in, hoping the awkward conversation would end.

"Sure, why not?"

"Okay. Merry Christmas in advance, Luo Jinhai."

"Call me Jinhai, Li Jing. It sounds better when you do."

"Okay."

The evening was nice and pleasant for Li Jing as her worries faded away with the soft music playing in the restaurant and the delicious meal to go with it.

By the time they were done, Luo Jinhai took her for a Christmas carol and when that finished as well, he went to get her some gifts for Christmas before taking her home.

As soon as she dropped at her place and came down from the car, her eyes caught sight of a lone figure in the parking lot standing with crossed arms close to his car.

Even though her senses weren’t as sharp as his and it was dark, she could tell from the lights in the vicinity that it was him.

She knew that built, frame and form from anywhere. She had personally harassed that person with her eyes and hands. There was no mistaking it one bit. It was only peculiar to one person.

As if on cue, he heard some noise and turned his head at their direction. That was when their eyes met and her breathing hitched.

Luo Jinhai who had not still paid any attention to the stubborn stranger was more than shocked when he saw Li Jing just standing there like a statue when he went round to get her gifts from his car.

"Li Jing," he called out her name but she did not say anything. Her gaze was still fixed up ahead. He sighed before following the line of her sight and his eyes landed on his worst nightmare.

"Ye Cheng." The words left his lips in a whisper but it was as if Ye Cheng heard it and at that moment, he moved, taking long and calm steps towards them.

Li Jing did not know why her heart was beating so fast since she saw him and as much as she wanted to turn away like it didn’t matter, she just could not do it.

It was as though he got her speechless and unmoving with just one gaze at her and as their eyes met, his held hers, not breaking eye contact as he came over to her.

"I have been calling you. Where did you drop your phone?" Those were the first words he said to her as soon as he got to where she stood in front of Luo Jinhai.

Gbaghan!!

His voice carried a certain chill down her spine and his cold gaze made her freeze.

She knew he hated it when she did not pick her calls and she forgot to remove it from silence mode when she went out to dine with Luo Jinhai. "I..."

"Ye Cheng, do not frighten her like that. Give her some space," Luo Jinhai intervened when he saw that Li Jing was finding it hard to compose words to tell him.

He had a certain imposing, domineering aura around him and the stern look he gave her only intensified her freight. He looked like a father about to scold the living daylight off his child’s life and she was partially scared.

She did not want to be, but it also felt like she did something wrong. She knew she did not as nothing was going on between both of them but why did it still feel that way and her heartbeat raced so fast.

She felt like her legs would give way soon because of the intoxicating anger, shimmering in his eyes.

He was angry, jealous in fact but there was no need to be. Was there?

He trailed his gaze away from her pretty scared face and let them land on the soul that spoke. Noticing it was Luo Jinhai, his already angered godlike face became angrier. "Scram."

"Hey, Ye Cheng!"

"Not another word from you," he returned his gaze from Luo Jinhai to her. "So you have started bringing men home, Li Jing."
