Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 372

"Oh, do not worry. You are like family. We would be meeting more often in the future I suppose and I would personally be preparing the meals for you two."

"Wow! I am so glad. Thank you. I look forward to tasting all of your good cooking and if possible learn a thing or two."

"That can be arranged."

"And that is enough, Rong. I believe you have several guests to cater for. Off you go now," Ye Cheng shooed him away before he got too comfortable discussing with his wife.

"Ay… Pleased to make your acquaintance you once again, Mrs Li Jing."

"The pleasure is all mine." Rong smiled at her again then glared at his friend before leaving.

He wanted to keep on conversing with her but naughty Ye Cheng refused to allow it.

'Stingy, Ye Cheng, he cannot even share a conversation with her to someone else. Hmm, I would get myself a gorgeous beauty like your wife, you'll see. Ying Rong thought to himself and then he left.

"Tsk, I do not know between himself and Yi Wang Lei who is worst. First one hugs my wife in my presence and now this one is literally flirting hmm." Although he had muttered it t himself, Li Jing heard and she couldn't help but smile at him.

'What a jealous hubby I have. Hehehe, it is cute at least it shows his love for me and I would be jealous too if I were in his shoes.' Li Jing thought.

"Hmm, can you kindly tell me what that was all about?" Li Jing asked, breaking her husband from his train of thoughts.

"Ah, nothing. I just…"

"Ye Cheng," She called his name out in a warning tone. As though she was silently telling him not to lie to her. "It takes like forever to get a reservation here and you got it easily plus all the weird sighs you two were giving each other. Something is up and I want to know."

Ye Cheng knew she was brilliant and all but was surprised that even in this situation she figured everything clearly.

"But he said, we are like family," Ye Cheng said. He was still trying to see how much she knew.

"Do not test my patience, honey. Spill."

"Fine. I would explain to you."

**FLASHBACK**

After Li Jing ran into the bathroom, Ye Cheng made his way to the bed and picked up his phone to put a call for the reservation.

"Hello?"

"Hmm, it took you five months, twenty one days and six hours thereabout to put a call to your friend. What favor do you want, Ye Cheng," Ying Ring asked.

"Tao, who would have thought that your cooking brain could actually calculate this well. Technically it was seventeen hours," Ye Cheng corrected.

"Whatever Mr Accurate. Now spill. The last time you called you were planning to get my cooking for your supposed girlfriend that I do not know then you canceled. Now, I wonder if you want similar for her again?"

"Have you been listening to the news lately?*

"Oh, congrats on your wedding by the way."

"Tsk, show your congratulations some other way."

"How?"

Ye Cheng smiled when he heard that. It was just what he was looking for. He knew that to book a reservation in his friend's restaurant took days at least for someone like him but now, he wanted it impromptu, that could only be arranged by a favor.

"I am bringing my wife for dinner at your place and do not say it cannot be done, cause you can do it. Consider this your gift to us."

Ye Cheng was always cunning wasn't he?

"Do not worry about payment though, I would pay for all the meal, all I need is the reservation. Can you make it happen?" Ye Cheng calmly asked.

"Hmm." Ying Ring took sometime off to think on what his friend had said. After some seconds an idea came to mind and he smiled. "Fine. But on one condition." Ye Cheng had not yet had the opportunity to be jolly when his naughty friend started.

"State it. If it is feasible then yeah, if not... No."

"Relax, it is feasible trust me and it won't take much from you."

"Alright, shoot."

"Since you did not give the privilege of attending your wedding or meeting your wife face to face, I want to have the opportunity of having a conversation with her."

"Just that?" Ye Cheng asked quickly to be sure.

"Yes, just that."

Ying Ring did not get enough time to breath after his last word when Ye Cheng's reply came in straight.

"Done."

"No going back on your word, Ye Cheng. I told you, it is something quite easy."

"You two no going back on your word. I need a table for two at your VIP lounge and..."

"Just tell me the time and I would give you the best. Oh and forget about payment, that is my wedding gift to the new Mrs Ye."

"Thanks. We would be there in the next hour. Kindly make it possible. Thanks man."

"Noted. See you in an hour, hehhe... I can't wait!"

Listening to how happy his friend was, Ye Cheng felt that his friend was the one at a loss and he just won the jackpot!

Now he got to take Li Jing out for no cost especially for a visit his friend would have had the privilege of getting if he had been patient enough.

"Ying Rong, thank you bunch. Even though it a present, I can am happy you did not quench her hope."

**FLASHBACK ENDS**

By the time he finished explaining himself to Li Jing, he was praying she wouldn't get mad at him for bargaining her like that.

Regardless of what the deal was, it turned out that Ying Rong actually was the one at the losing end and Ye Cheng gained more due to his jealousy, yet he made a face like he was the one who lost.

"Tsk, I see my hubby is not only good in making deals in business but also good with deals in other areas. Bravo."2
