Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 213 - Unannounced Visitor

*********

CHAPTER 213

Minutes later, he arrived at the house and quickly asked Hua Duyi to return home when he saw the car, then he made his way into the house.

One of the maids went ahead to inform Mr Lin at the dinning that he had a visitor while Ye Cheng waited.

"A visitor? I wasn't expecting anyone, though. Alright, send the person in. We just finished our meal. Inform him or her that I would join him or her shortly."

"Him sir," the maid corrected to ease her master's speech.

"Okay. You can carry on." The maid bowed down to him and then walked away to deliver his message. "Shall we?"

"Yes sir," Tang Zixin replied him after cleaning his lips, then dropped the napkin on the table and stood up.

"Li Jing?"

"Sure. Thank you for such a meal."

"Oh come off that, you are my grandchild. Everything and anything I own belongs to you from now on." She did not know what to say anymore other than to flash him one of her trademark smiles and stood up, following his lead.

By the time they arrived at the living room, Mr Lin still had not figured out who came visiting but the moment Li Jing saw the back of his head, she did not need a soothsayer to tell her who it was.

For a moment there, she stopped in her tracks with her eyes fixed on him. She could not believe he ran here as soon as he can just to fulfil his promise to her.

Her heart felt warm by his kind gesture and she smiled to herself. Unknown to her, Tang Zixin was behind, watching her.

"Yes, I am sorry for keeping you waiting," Mr Lin apologized as he walked in close to where Ye Cheng sat before crossing the living room to the other cus.h.i.+on.

Hearing his voice, Ye Cheng stood up at once to greet him. The moment their eyes locked, Mr Lin's jaw dropped.

b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l! He was not expecting that the visitor that came unannounced to his house was none other than the country's top-notch businessman.

"Ye Cheng!"

"Mr Lin. My apologies for coming here unannounced, if you do not mind my coming here. I was to take Li Jing here but some things came up and I had to quickly handle them and return for her."

"Oh." Mr Lin's lips were still opened as he had not yet come off the fact that Ye Cheng was standing in his living room.

"Mr Lin?" Ye Cheng's voice came out a little bit louder, pulling Mr Lin out of whatever trance he ventured into.

"Oh yes. By all means, please do sit down."

"Thanks." Before he sat down, he turned around to see who had been staring at his back and his eyes met with her. There she stood in front of Tang Zixin looking as cute as ever.

Subconsciously he blinked several times. Indeed her pictures did not do her any justice as they had a way of hiding just how much beautiful she was.

The way he blinked made him look like a superstar mesmerized by a fellow co-star. Little did he know that his intense gaze was making our Li Jing feel too shy and her cheeks turned red almost instantly.

She was even cuter when she blushed. This had only fueled Ye Cheng's naughty behaviour and he wanted more than anything to make her blush the more.

"Li Jing."

"Hey."

"Li Jing, please come and take your seat. You too Tang Zixin." At his words, Ye Cheng's eyes finally moved up past Li Jing's head to land on the tall calm young man at her back.

His once smiling face dropped and changed automatically. All that remained was his usual cold look that could freeze one in place but as quickly as it came, it vanished and he resumed his stoic expression with a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips.

Li Jing who was watching this change shook her head in her mind. He just wouldn't change, would he?

Tang Zixin held her hand and led her to one of the long cus.h.i.+ons in the living room to sit down and so did he beside her.

Ye Cheng had wanted to sit down close to her but he did not want to look all too childish if he started behaving that way. "So, how are you doing, Li Jing?" He broke the awkward silence quickly.

"I am okay."

"I can see that but you did cry. I am sorry for not being here."

"No need. It was tears of joy I guess. It wasn't like I was hurt or something."

Or something! Sigh Li Jing, tsk.

"I want to use this medium to thank you two, Tang Zixin and Ye Cheng for all the help and kindness you two have shown my granddaughter."

"She is deserving of it and more sir. There is no need to thank us. If there is anything, I am glad that she has met you and she would be well taken care of and protected," Ye Cheng responded coolly.

He was perfectly good at hiding his emotions when need be and showing them at times. He was not an open book and that is one of the things that hurt Li Jing. She wished he would be more open.

"Yes. I would ensure that."

"For me, I have no problem, sir. My grandmother asked me to ensure her safety and look after her, so there is nothing to be thanking me for."

"Oh, she knew Jiaye?" Mr Lin was surprised at how small the world was. Perhaps if he had looked for Grandma Jiaye during her last years, he would have met Li Jing sooner.

"Yes, she helped grandma till she pa.s.sed on."

"Oh my. My Li Jing is so good." Li Jing smiled at the compliment she was getting. This was getting too much for her to receive.

All she knew was that she didn't do much other than keep the older lady company and help her when need be.
