Chapter 716: Cover-up Ye Cheng

CHAPTER 716
Just as Li Chun took his leave, Li Jing got a call from one of the men she had watching Li Chun’s house.
“Hello, good morning?” she greeted, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
“Good morning, ma.”
“Yes.”
“We just followed him, Mr. Li has arrived at the airport. Once again he is travelling,” he informed her.
…..
“Oh.” Her eyes flew open at the new piece of information she got and she sprang to a sitting position on the bed.
Due to their activities at night, Ye Cheng was still spread out on the bed by her side. She smiled watching him sleep peacefully before getting up to leave.
At the same time, she heard the voice of the young man, pulling her out of her thoughts. “Ma’am, are you there?”
“Huh… yes. Yes. Give me a minute.” She walked up to his side of the bed and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead and cheek before exiting the room.
The moment the door shut close, a pair of brown eyes flew open. He took some time to adjust to the light seeping into the room before he turned to his other side and noticed she had indeed gone.
Shaking his head, Ye Cheng let his eyelids drop close and slept again.
Once outside, she made her way to her room and sat down on the bed to make her call. “Yes, you can continue.”
“He is away on another business trip, I think,” the man responded quickly.
“Business trip?” Li Jing wondered.
“Yes, ma.”
She took her time to ponder on the issue first before responding. “Fine. Just keep me posted on his next arrival. This time I would ensure I get what I need from him.”
“Okay. Got it, ma.”
She dropped the call and laid down on the bed, thinking. If there was one thing she knew, her father well, foster father did not own any other business aside from the one he had here in the city.
However, he had always been travelling for a business for as long as she could remember since she came to live with them.
And Ding Jiaying always complained that he started that behaviour after her arrival which was also the reason why she felt Li Jing was his daughter with a mistress.
On the other hand, no matter how he travelled in a search of investors and all, she did not see many changes. Then she felt it was luck, but now, she could not say the same thing.
He seemed forgetful. He was cold to everyone and herself. All in all, when she went through their photo album once, then, all she saw was a man who would do anything for his family, loving the joy and fun they had in their little.
But after she came into the house, his attitude changed.
‘Hmm, are you still going back there to the place where your mistress is, or are you really in search of investors? State it, Li Chun, which is the real reason for your drastic change in life?’
Turning on her side on the bed, she let her gaze trail to the door and was surprised to see it open. In the midst of it, all was a young man, standing in nothing but his briefs.
“Oh my!” she sat up and stared wide-eyed at him. “Cover-up Ye Cheng. Or do you want the maids to see?”
“What? They know better than to come up till I give them clearance. This can give us privacy. I always ensure that.” Saying that he pushed the door wide open before stepping in.
“Please, shall I come in?”
“Pfft!” she giggled softly at him. “You are already in, yet you question me as though if I say no, you would turn back.”
“For you, I can do anything and I can see that right now my baby needs cuddling.” He walked in till he got to her bed and climbed in.
Rather than scouting away as he has thought, Li Jing scooted closer to his body.
“I see someone really wanted the attention,” he stated and laid on his left-hand side while his right hand lay across her waist.
“Scooch in,” obeying his every word without complaint, Li Jing snuggled against her husband and laid her head to rest.
“Care to tell me what is bothering you?” He asked after some minutes of silence.
“Nothing much, just trying to figure out something about my foster family. You do not have to worry your head. I left so as not to wake you up with my ball,” she confessed.
“Then why didn’t come back to bed?”
“Too lazy and thought-filled?” She smirked against his chest and wrapped her hand on his body.
“I am yours forever. Never you doubly that, Ye Cheng.”
“I do not. I need you to believe me too. I just want to dispose of everyone that has caused us problems before in life so that we can have peace of mind.”
“Me too. Soon though, I believe so.”
“Yeah. Now close your eyes let us nap here for a while.”

Since the day they had met with Kim Fan, Li Jing’s grand aunties, Lin Qi and Lin Xuilan have taken their time in preparation for their next attack. They wanted it to be one final fatal strike that would take her out of their paths for good.
However, what they failed to calculate was the fact that their brother was returning to the city.
“Lin Qi, have you heard?” Lin Xuilan began.
“Heard what?” The other lady asked as she typed away on her phone, not paying full attention to her sister-in-law.
“The patriarch is back. Your brother is around.”
She paused and lifted her head to look at Lin Xuilan. There was not a single trace of laughter on her face, to tell her she was kidding.
“You said?”
“The same thing you heard, sister-in-law. He is back and he did so stealthily,” she informed.
“If so, how did you find out?”
“He called Lin Liqin. I overheard them on the phone.”
“Damn it.”
