Chapter 53: You Do Not Like It?

CHAPTER 53

In an expensive bar, a man is seated at the far corner of the luxurious looking bar with few people sparsely seated inside as well.

He took his phone out and dailled a number.

Ring! Ring!

"Hello, Chairman sir, good afternoon."

"Did you get him?" The person asked from the other end.

"Unfortunately, no sir."

Silence ensued on both ends apart from the steady breathing of the other person, the chairman.

"You assured me, yet you couldn't finish such a simple job. How the hell did he manage to escape you this time, when he wasn't even expecting you to show up!"

The chairman yelled into the phone. He had been keeping his cool since but he was done with it.

Just how incompetent were these men anyway?

"Sir... " he started to say but was cut short by the Chairman's next words.

"No more excuses."

"Sir, pleas this is not an excuse. He had help. Perhaps we can track them and try again," the man protested.

"What more can you do? You have done enough already. Do not chase him or launch any attack again. It is too risky. At least now we know that Ye Cheng is alive. We must keep a low profile and watch out," he cautioned.

"Okay sir, understood."

"Good. Keep me updated."

"Sure sir."

Beep!

It was evening time when Ye Cheng finally arrived at his house to pick Li Jing.

As soon as he got in, he was greeted by the maids and butler.

Slowly, his eyes scanned everyone, looking for something or in this case, someone.

The butler noticed the frown on his boss's face when he finished scanning everyone.

Before Ye Cheng could ask where the missing person was, the butler spoke up.

"The young miss is in the kitchen."

"Kitchen?" Ye Cheng's brows deepened hearing the word kitchen.

What was she doing in the kitchen? No wonder she didn't come to welcome him, still...

"What is she doing in the kitchen? Why did you allow... "

"You're Back!" Li Jing walked out from the kitchen upon hearing a familiar voice in the house.

Ye Cheng turned to the direction where the voice came from and his eyes landed on Li Jing.

She stood at the door way wearing a simple green off shoulder gown and a white apron on top of it.

Her hair was neatly wrapped in a cooking cap. She held a big spoon in one hand and placed the other on the kitchen door frame.

Ye Cheng took in her simple appearance and upon seeing her, he felt a sense of calmness envelop his mind.

"Yes, I am back," he replied her without taking his eyes off of her.

"You are just in time for dinner," Li Jing announced.

Watching him, she took her first step and walked towards him.

"I got the clothes and stuffs you bought me. Thank you."

"You don't need to be thankful, after all I made you lose all you had."

"Umm... It's okay, I guess."

Li Jing lowered her head when she knew she had nothing more to say other than that.

Truthfully it was his fault that she had to go through all these, still she never blamed him, rather she was happy she could be of help.

"Here."

Ye Cheng stretched his hand forward and handed her a small nylon bag. Taking it, Li Jing peered into it. Her eyes popped wide open like a pair of saucers at what was inside. It was a white box containing a new phone.

"I forgot to send it with the other stuffs. You must have people wanting to talk to. I hope it is to your taste."

'Hope it is to my taste?' Li Jing thought. She was still trying to process everything. He just handed over an iPhone 12 to her and still asked if it was to her taste... OMG!!!

"What? You do not like it?"

It was at this point Li Jing came out from her trance. "No, that's not it. I love it, thanks."

Pff of course she would like it. Who wouldn't, especially when you were using a Samsung before?

"Okay, let us leave." As soon as the words left his mouth, he pulled her right hand and then turned around.

Li Jing pulled back and stood firm on the ground, refusing to move. Noticing the abrupt stop, Ye Cheng returned his gaze back to her, giving her a questioning gaze.

"Where are we going this time?"

"Somewhere else." He pulled her hand again but Li Jing stood her ground.

Ye Cheng let out a soft sigh as he turned to look at her.

"What is wrong?"

"Nothing. It's just... What about the meal?"

"Forget it."

"Why? I made that!"

"I never asked you to. Who allowed you into the kitchen? It isn't your job to cook. You are my guest."

"I wanted to. Besides I was mega bored just fitting clothes and doing nothing else. I am not used to this." She spread her hands to the side a bit, indicating what she meant.

"It is okay. I would have them sent over."

"And the clothes? Just wait let me get them," Li Jing said and turned around, ready to get to where the clothes were kept in the guest room.

"Don't worry about that. Come let us hurry. I would have everything sent over."

"Fine."

Not waiting for any reply, Ye Cheng pulled her along with him and left his butler and maids to attend to other things.

By the time they got to their destination, Ye Cheng ushered her into a find unit not so far away from the busy part of the city.

"This is where you would be staying from now on. I would have some men always be on the lookout for anyone suspicious. You would be safe here."

"And you?" Li Jing asked as she walked further into the house, her eyes taking in all that was present in there.

"You like?" Ye Cheng asked when he noticed her eyes move to and fro.
