CHAPTER 200

Knock!

By the time she got to the door, she heard the knock again and let out another sigh. ’ Just who is that impatient person?’

"I’m coming!" Li Jing turned the doorknob and pulled the door open. "Ye..."

Her words got cut in her mouth as she remained unblinking at the person that stood in front of her.

"Li Jing." He was the last person she expected to see and wanted to see. How he got to know where she was saying, she did not know. All she knew was that somehow, he got to know where she was and was currently looking at her.

"What?" She snapped from her stupor and regained her composure. "What do you want?"

"Li Jing, please. Don’t be like this. Let me explain."

"I do not want to hear it, Ye Cheng. Not another lie."

Her words had hurt him. He never lied to her and never would he do such a thing. It was all a misunderstanding and she came at the wrong time.

Ye Cheng raised his hand to his head and combed his fingers through his hair while maintaining eye contact with her.

"Li Jing. Hear me out, please."

"How did you even find me? I just want to be alone, Ye Cheng."

"You cannot hide from me. I tracked your phone when it came on and found out you were in this hotel." His explanation did not shock her one bit but there was something she was curious about.

"Then how did you get my room number? I know the hotel staffs would not disclose that to anyone even after my warning."

"They never did but I do know people and the owner of the hotel happens to be working for me."

"What?"

"I own the hotel, Li Jing. I bought it from the owner just before the business closed down. I just chose to leave the name as it was. It was the favour the previous owner asked of me."

"I see. I hoped I would escape you. I guess not."

"Li Jing, you should know better. I care about you. I would ensure precautionary measures for your safety. I always keep my promise."

She wasn’t surprised at all. It was just that she underestimated him and what length he would go to ensure her safety.

He had installed the tracker into her phone when he got her a new phone just in case she was ever kidnapped by his enemies.

And now that she decided to run away, it was a perfect time to use it as well.

She rolled her eyes lazily at him before attempting to close the door but she found out that something was blocking it. She looked down to see what was by the door and found Ye Cheng’s foot preventing the door from closing with his left palm on the door as well.

"Li Jing. I won’t leave until you hear my side of the story. I promise you, I never betrayed you nor did I lie."

"Fine, come in."

She was not in the mood to argue with him. She only agreed to let him in so that he would say what he wanted to say and then leave.

They got inside and she did not bother to offer him a seat but just went climbing back into bed while waiting for him to finish talking when he had not even begun.

"Okay, you have five minutes to explain, Ye Cheng. Five minutes."

"Thanks." He wasted no time in filling her in on what she asked and explained to her how Ru Mei Xing refused to leave after he found out who she was.

He was just to the extent that he did not hide anything but said everything as it was to her. Of a truth after hearing what he had to say, she believed him as she knew he had nothing to lose or gain by lying to her but there was something that still hurt her.

"Li Jing, please, listen to me. I would not do anything to hurt you. It was all a mistake. I should have thrown her out quickly or better still, I should have known that she had a hidden agenda and refused her entry but if I really was having something with her, why would ii bother bringing her to the same hotel that I was lodging at with you?"

Li Jing did not answer him. She knew he told the truth but she just did not want to accept it or him for that matter.

"Li Jing, please. Believe me."

"I do."

"You do? Thank you."

"Not so fast. I believe you Ye Cheng but I do not think anything can happen between us."

Ye Cheng’s eyes widened at her statement. He felt things were already fine with them, so why now was she saying what she was? "Li Jing, I just explained to you."

"That is not the problem." Li Jing interjected. She took in a deep breath first before explaining to him. "We haven’t even started dating and all these problems are happening."

"We can handle it."

"I know I can but let us just give it time and stay apart for some time. I just do not think we are ready. You and I know we are not. You still haven’t figured out if you are and same for me."

Even though Ye Cheng did not want to accept it, he knew as well that he still had not yet set his heart down. His mind and heart weren’t ready but the fear of losing someone close to him was making him push things through.

That was going to be the wrong reason with which to enter a relationship. He needed closure. He needed to come to terms with his hurt and the betrayal he received.

Not until that has happened and he was ready to risk loving someone again, they were not ready.

"The events of the past few days only made it obvious. We are not ready. I told you, I would be here as a friend and trusted ally."
