Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

************

CHAPTER 292

Indeed love was hard to find and probably that was why she wasn't giving up, on him.

"Fen Fen? Are you there? Jia Huang, leave my friend alone this instant or…"

"Fine, fine I have left her alone," Li Jing heard Jia Huang yell from the other end of the phone and the next voice she heard was a Yin Lifen trying to catch her breath.

"Thanks a lot for that, Li Jing."

"Welcome. Now, I am happy to hear you happy."

"Honestly, I was mad though. But then, I would remain friends with him. I told him so. I am okay with that for now."

"Are you sure?" Li Jing needed her to make sure of what she wanted to prevent her from being hurt again.

"Yes, I am. I am okay, better than before."

"Alright then. Just relax okay. By evening we would all be out to relax and enjoy our last time here."

"Sure. Bye, my regards to Kim Fan."

"Yeah, he would hear of it. Take care."

As soon as she ended the call, Kim Fan did so too. With a smiling face, he stood up and asked for them to continue their tour.

For Li Jing, the tour of the hotel was blissful, she had enough pictures to take a good shot off and enough memories made.

It was what she needed to a large extent in her life. For the first time, she wasn't really bothered about anything apart from doing good work of which she knew she would be capable of doing.

By evening, they all came out as planned and had a nice time. They also played games with other guests in the hotel, making it livelier than before.

By the time night fell upon them, Li Jing was left wishing the night could be longer and they could all stay some more.

It was a good experience considering when they arrived, it looked like it would be the end of them with all the bickering and bad air around them.

That was another reason why she was happy. Yin Lifen was happy, all their problems were resolved. At the very least her friend's heart healed.

She had to admit to herself that she envied her a bit. She was able to relay her love to someone even though it came with a price, she was happy nonetheless.

By the time some people had begun to thin out of the bonfire they all did, Li Jing too got up and strode over to the garden side and rested her back on one of the trees there.

She had never expected to meet such a view in the garden at night. It had several small lights decorating the trees as well as the stem, making it look like a garden of lights and decorated flowers.

Just being there brought back happy memories for her and she found herself missing a certain person. It had been days since they last spoke.

Li Jing was already feeling lonely not hearing from him. She missed him dearly. All the times when they fought and he was being bossy over her.

Even down to the first day when he kissed her at the bar and her shock, then to that night after the dinner that they almost kissed and then when they officially kissed on Christmas watch night.

Each and every memory made with him brought fresh pain to her heart. It wasn't that she lost him but it felt that way.

Before she knew what was happening a tear slid down her cheeks falling on her right palm. Instinctively, she reached up and brushed it off her cheeks while wearing her sweet smile.

That was it, she missed him so much and she was not going to deny it further. She took her phone out from her pocket and placed a call through to him.

RING! RING!

The phone rang for some more seconds but no one picked up. She tried it once more and it was the same response. She felt her heart fall at the disappointment of not hearing his voice.

"Ye Cheng, how are you? How are you coping with work? Are you pulling through well?"

Even though she knew the answers to the questions she asked, she still did not feel all too good. She felt he was being stressed out and wished she was there to be of better help and assist him.

She recalled that when she and Han Qing Qing spoke that she found out they still did not have a financial manager in the company.

Apparently, he was still reserving her work for her. He was having so much hope that she would come back and although he knew this was what she needed in rising up in her career, a part of him wanted to be selfish and have her to himself.

"I miss you," Li Jing confessed in a whisper. She imagined him telling her he didn't hear her clearly and she smiled before saying the words again. "I miss you. I really do miss you, Ye Cheng."

Her voice broke right there when she made mention of his name. It felt like a sharp stab of pain in her heart. "I miss you." Her voice rose higher than someone close by would hear her but she did not care one bit.

"Who do you miss?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Li Jing jolted away from the tree and turned around to see who it was.

"Who do you miss, Miss Li Jing?" It was Jia Huang who was behind her.

Noticing he was the one, she had thought it was Kim Fan at first as both had a similar voice, she relaxed a bit and went back to where she was standing and resting her back on the tree,

"Someone dear to me."

"Is it your mother?" Li Jing's eyes popped wide when he made mention of her mother and Jias Huang noticed her reaction. "I am sorry," he quickly apologized, seeing as this was a sensitive topic. "I never meant to…"

"It is okay."
