Chapter 201: Found Your Grandfather

**********

CHAPTER 201

No one spoke for some minutes. They both took some time to think things through. The more he thought about it, the more he accepted it as things were.

"Okay." He combed through his hair with his fingers again before raising his head to look at her. I am sorry for burdening you with my problems, Li Jing. I know I keep saying this but, I am truly sorry. You deserve better."

"No. If there is anything, I am sorry for the problems my family keeps causing you and I am happy that you came into my life."

He felt truly touched by her words and a certain joy enveloped his heart. Even though they were not dating, he was glad that he had her close by as a friend. "Come here."

Li Jing got up from the bed and made her way to where he was standing. "Yes?"

Rather than reply her, Ye Cheng closed the space between them and pulled her into his embrace. He was glad she came into his life.

They both deserved something better, still they still needed time to heal and feel better. Li Jing was right, a relationship may not necessarily be what they needed to jump into till they were sure of what they felt for each other.

For now, they would remain as friends and let life lead them on.

Knock! Knock!

Ye Cheng's eyes pried open and so did Li Jing's. He pulled back from the hug and looked at her questioningly.

This time around, he was more than careful not to utter anything stupid to her. Ignoring the look he gave her, Li Jing instinctively checked the time and her lips parted into an O shape.

"What is wrong, Li Jing?"

Knock! Knock!

She looked back at him and a small smile formed on her lips. "Please seat, I would be right back."

"Expecting a guest?"

"Yes but relax. I am fine. He isn't a stranger. You know him as well." Immediately she informed him that he knew the person, Ye Cheng's brows creased. "Be right back."

It was little she was petting a kid that was left inn her care with the way she spoke to him. One couldn't blame her as Ye Cheng wasn't helping matters with how he looked.

Right then he could be likened to a child who was angry that a man was about to take his mother away from him. Li Jing smiled it off and went to answer the door.

She knew he would get angry when he met the guest but giving that they weren't dating…

Ye Cheng would have to bear with it.

She opened the door and wore her best charming smile to receive her visitor. "Hey."

"Hello, Li Jing."

"Welcome. Come in please."

"Thanks." Tang Zixin smiled at her and walked into the room before waiting for her to close the door.

By now he still had not looked inside the room and was watching her as she closed the door before allowing her take the lead.

On the other hand, Ye Cheng heard his voice and already knew who it was.

"Funny meeting you here. Hello, Ye Cheng."

"Hello." He looked his usual cold self. Not bothering to smile one bit as they exchanged pleasantries.

"Pleas have your seat." Things were looking awkward having two of them together in one room but giving that they were civilized and did not have any issues before that day, Li Jing hoped it would be great.

"Okay. My apologies, I do not have anything other than pizza to offer you guys. Please help yourselves." She pointed at the pizza on her table as her mind thought of ways to make this visit fun.

"Thank you," both of them said in unison.

"It seems you are busy, so I would go straight to the point about why I came to see you," Tang Zixin quickly informed Li Jing and opened the lid of the envelope in his hand.

"Why didn't you meet her outside?" Ye Cheng asked.

'He just can't stay without looking for trouble, can he?' Sigh!

Tang Zixin was about to respond to Ye Cheng's question when Li Jing beat him to it.

"Because I was trying to avoid you seeing me. Unfortunately that did not turn out well as you still found me."

"You wouldn't have to if you did not run away. That was unprofessional. Now I had to skip the meeting as well."

"You did what?"

"You started it when you ran away and traveled back. How do you expect me to attend a meeting when there was a possibility that something bad could have happened to you?" Li Jing could not deny the fact that he had a point there.

"If you hadn't let her in, then I wouldn't have met you in such a situation and then I wouldn't have gone."

"Can we seriously not do this?"

"Fine." He was right. She had forgotten they had company for a minute and let her anger take over. "But wouldn't it cost you?"

"Relax. I got it covered. Yi Wang Lei would attend in my place." Li Jing narrowed her eyes at him. "And Han Qing Qing would cover for you. The trick is to be prepared for anything."

"Hmm. Oh my, sorry about that Tang Zixin. Please continue."

"It is kind of personal. Are you sure you want me to say it?"

"I am sure. I have nothing to hide from Ye Cheng." Ye Cheng smiled at her. He felt proud that she held him close to her heart and valued him as such.

"Okay but this is different too. Li Jing, what do you know about your maternal grandparents?"

Her smile instantly dropped. She wasn't expecting he would ask that all of a sudden. That was a touch topic indeed.

Tang Zixin and Ye Cheng had noticed the change in her expression and how she had subconsciously reached up to brush her fingers on her necklace.

For someone like Ye Cheng who did not know the story behind it, he felt it was normal but Tang Zixin understood.

"She says they are both dead."

"Not your adoptive maternal grandparents. I mean your birth mother's grandparents."

"I do not know. I have no memory of my life before I joined the Li family."

This was a part of her Ye Cheng had never touched and right there, he felt like he really did not know her. He shifted his eyes from her to Tang Zixin and then back to Li Jing.

"What if I told you, I found your maternal grandfather?"

"What? Are you…" She blinked several times at him. She was unsure of what to think of or believe at that point.

'Did he just say, my maternal grandfather is alive?' Her mind was in shambles almost immediately as the news had done so much to her.

"Yes. I have found your grandfather, Li Jing."

"Ah… Y-you… Are you serious?"

"Yes." Tang Zixin's smile brightened when he saw her eyes began to water.

All her life she had lived her life carrying a certain void and an unknown past with her and now she heard this? It meant she was a step closer to finding out the truth about her parentage.

Sigh! Just want to know your opinion, is their love being rushed? I kind of felt it was rushed and i did not give them time to heal. I would love your opinion guys.
