CHAPTER 131

Following Ye Cheng’s order, Li Jing took her seat and that was when her eyes licked clearly on the newspaper.

At the front page, had a picture of Ye Cheng kissing her but from the angle, no one would know it was her.

If that was the only issue then that would not have been a problem but at the side was another picture with both of them staring into each other’s eyes.

Although their faces still weren’t clear enough but moat people already now knew Ye Cheng and her and it was not hard to place it that they were the ones.

’Truth Revealed: Dream Star Corporation’s CEO Caught Kissing His Financial Manager.’ Li Jing read the caption inwardly.

Immediately she read it her brows creased at the words.

She did not lift her head from what she was looking at for some time and was oblivious to the fact that Ye Cheng was studying her, watching to see her reaction.

By the time he got home yesterday and drank a soup his cook prepared for him, his drowsiness cleared and he felt better aver some time.

He had tried calling her to apologize for what he dis but her phone was switched off.

It was in the morning that the news got to him about what he had done being everywhere.

This was the very firat reason why he did not want aanyone except a selected few to know him.

He loved his privacy and his personal life so much that he hated when the public intruder.

Regrettably, things did not go according to plan and he had to reveal himself.

He asked his assistant to make sure they get the news down and prevent more copies to be printed out.

And make sure nothing like that ever happened. Even though things could be done, it dis not change the fact that it was on social media and a lot more people had seen it before it was removed.

That was why he was mega worried that Li Jing had not come down from the situation of before. He knew what he did affacetedbher and he was sorry but now this...?

Slowly she peeled her eyes away from the newspaper and looked up at him.

Their eyes met and locked. Words unspoken, but words became heard in the dead pan silence that followed.

Ye Cheng opened his mouth to speak but she raised her hand to stop him.

"I don’t want to hear it, Ye Cheng."

"I am sorry, Li Jing. I really am."

She closed her eyes and shook her head. No, she honestly was not ready for any of this.

All she ever wanted was a peaceful life but then even that was ruined by her useless ex and bitchy sister.

"I have had everything removed especially the newspaper company and sued them. Even the news on social media, everything has been removed. This normally do not happen, Li Jing. I apologize truly. I would try to ensure that there would not be a religion of such," Ye Cheng assured her.

Hearing his words should have pacified her or even made her still mad at him.

She never asked him to kiss her and definitely not there but then it rang a certain bell in her mind and her supposed anger diminished on its own.

Long has she lived her life to please people caring about what they said and feeling bad about it. This was her life and not theirs.

Since she chose to accept this job, she was aware that a lot of eyes would be on her and him and she was also the one who wanted to rise to the top and make her sister and her ex pay dearly for what they did.

So who cares what everyone thought or what news spread out there? She had a clear conscience and her goal was her revenge and not what people think.

The next words she said left Ye Cheng tongue tied.

"It is okay. I should have expected it."

"Expected what?" Ye Cheng could not help asking. ’The kiss or what?’ He asked himself in his mind.

Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Li Jing clarified for him. "The news."

"Oh, but about the kiss..."

"You only did that to get him off my back. Thanks but in case of next time, I can handle it. So no need to apologize. I know there is nothing attached to it."

Okay... Slow down babe.

Her words were still all but shocking to Ye Cheng who had never seen her been bold about something like this before except when she got angry at how her useless boyfriend and her bitchy mouthed sister insulted her.

And of course she wasn’t angry. So this new change definitely was shocking.

In actual fact, he liked it and he liked her more.

<Ye Cheng: Author, hold up. Slow down will you. She is just a friend.>

<Author: That you kiss? Keep deceiving yourself. Besides, you admire her. I never said love just like. Naughty boy.>

Yes, he had begun liking her. She was intelligent, smart, beautiful, naive but nonetheless caring and if not that he had shut his heart after the betrayal then...

"If that is all, then I would head back to the office and work. I have them piled up."

"Sure. Oh and Mr Kang, he called."

Li Jing who was already half way standing paused and returned her gaze to him. "He did?"

"Yes. Apparently he wants to do business with my company because of you. He did not let me rest, telling me about how I stole such a rare gem from him and because of that, I have no choice but to let him work with her."

If it were others he would not even bother praising them in their front but he knew firat hand just how brilliant Li Jing was and truly a rare gem.

It was just a shame Duan Tian did not know what he had and gave her up.

Tsk, their loss his gain.
