CHAPTER 458 – Surprise: One Month Anniversary
By the time they both woke up, it was already late into the morning. Quickly both of them made their way to the bathroom and washed each other's bodies before dressing up and heading to work.
Due to how the morning had started, Ye Cheng was glad Li Jing did not remember that it was their anniversary and he was glad.
After following her downstairs, he told her he forgot something and asked her not to worry about him and head to work without him.
Unknown to her, as soon as he got inside, it was a different matter that was discussed entirely.
"Young master, anything the matter? Has young miss left?" The head maid asked loudly.
"Ssshhh… You do not want to alert her now, do you?"
"Oops, sorry sir. I didn't know. My bad."
Ye Cheng sighed, shaking his head at the lady before speaking again. "Just as I have instructed. Please make this grand. Where is the head butler?" He looked up the second he heard footsteps approach them.
"Sir, I am here."
"Nice. Invite all my closest of friends, all except Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhong."
"Notes, sir."
"Oh and especially Rong. I know if I do not, he would eat me up and I won't hear the end of it. Make then know it is a surprise birthday something."
"Noted sir."
"Anything you need money for, get across to me, and I would send you more if the money in the foodstuff account isn't enough."
"Yes, young master. I will do as you have instructed," the head butler noted.
"Good I would be on my way then and we would both arrive together."
"Alright sir, do have a lovely day," his head maid wished him, waving him goodbye.
"I will."

All through their stay at work, he did his best to avoid her, ensuring he was in one important meeting or the other so as to make her miss the hell out of him.
Thanks to his business, Li Jing really did miss him especially with the kind of mind-blowing sex they had. It wasn't just helping matters one bit.
She let out a deep sigh, blowing the hair that fell on her face away and then sighed again.
'Why am I missing him so much today? I really just want to see him at least, even if it is once. Hmm, perhaps a video call would not be bad.'
Quickly, she picked up her phone with glee and dialled his number.
RING! RING!
It kept on ringing and ringing but nothing changed. Ye Cheng did not pick his call. It was already so frustrating for her.
'Come, Cheng, please pick up your call. You are making me anxious and worried.'
She let out another sigh but and tried again. In the end, all she got was no answer!
***
Meanwhile, Ye Cheng had just finished discussing with Yi Wang Lei and one of their workers when Yi Wang Lei noticed that his phone had been ringing consistently and yet he refused to pick it.
Stylishly he looked in the direction of his phone to see the caller and noticed that it was Li Jing. The shock was clearly written on his face as he stared in disbelief at his friend.
This was the first time he saw Ye Cheng and Li Jing not in the fighting term, yet his friend readily bounced her calls.
On a normal day, if he was even in a big meeting, he would have at least sent her a text message to calm her down. But now, he could even excuse himself if he wanted to but he chose to ignore his wife instead.
"Hmm," Yi Wang Lei sighed while eyeing his friend.
"Jingyang," Ye Cheng called out, ignoring Yi Wang Lei.
"Sir?"
"Please you may take your leave. I need to speak with Yi Wang Lei in private.
"Absolutely sir. I would be on my way then. Do have a good day."
As soon as the door closed behind them, Ye Cheng turned his head to face Yi Wang Lei. "Out with it, Wang Lei."
"What do you want me to say?"
"The thing disturbing you that is making you poke your head to check my phone."
"Naughty. You already know what I am going to ask."
"Out with it, still. Since when was I in your mind?"
"Fine." Yi Wang Lei sighed and then smiled at him. "Why are you ignoring the love of your life?"
"Because I am busy."
"Since when have you been too busy for Li Jing, Ye Cheng? Tell that to who doesn't know you. What is wrong? Did your love offend you?"
"Nope."
"Then why do you hurt her? You know she would be so worried now. Please call her."
"Hmm, you have no idea what today is right?"
"Nope. Tell me, help jog back my memory, please."
"Check your phone, my butler should have sent you a message," Ye Cheng replied.
"Really?" Quickly, he dipped his hand in his front pocket and brought out his phone. "I doubt if I have any messages," Yi Wang Lei said, as he unlocked his phone.
The second he opened the phone, his eyes came face to face with the message from Ye Cheng's head butler.
"Oh, it did come." He looked closely at his phone screen. "What, wait> It is… oh my, Ye Cheng… How can you not…" he raised his voice, forgetting and throwing reason away.
Ye Cheng could not blame him completely but he still needed to hush him.
"Shut it already. Now you know, right?"
"Yeah. I cannot believe one month has reached already. Congrats man. Aww, poor Li Jing is going to feel bad. If only she knew what her hubby has in store for her."
"And you are not going to say anything. This is a surprise, okay?"
"Sure." Yi Wang Lei smiled cheerfully at his friend. It really was touching. "I can't wait to see the look of shock on her face," he finally voiced out, watching Ye Cheng as his friend broke out into a lovely smile.
"It would be priceless."
