Chapter 114 - Wants You In His Office
"Why not call her, must you go to her office?" Ye Cheng suggested.
"Yes sir, I was going to do that."
"Okay, now it is four minutes, you have used one."

Was he serious right now? Han Qing Qing knew her boss could be overbearing at times, but this...this was just too much. This was him asking for trouble when no one brought it.
"Yes sir. I will."
Beep!
It was as if he was pulling war to himself. What would he do if that clingy girlfriend of his come again and meet them together in his office?
"Oh, poor Li Jing!"
Picking the telephone back up, Han Qing Qing dialled her Li Jing’s number.
"Hello?" her voice came off confused from the strange number and Han Qing Qing understood.
It was the first time they were talking over the line.
"Hello, good morning Li Jing. It is Han Qing Qing."
"Oh, good morning. Sorry, I did not realize."
"It is okay. My apologies for yesterday though, I did not have time to come to personally apologize."
"It is nothing. I understand."
"Phew! Thank goodness. We are still friends, right?"
"Sure. I am sorry but I need to hang up now, my desk is full."
"Oh, no worries. I understand. Bye."
"Bye."
"Oh wait! Yikes, I almost forgot."
"What is it?" Li Jing’s brows creased a bit, from Han Qing Qing’s words. ’What did she forget?’
"He wants you in his office in four minutes. Wait, make that two."
"Huh?"
"We already used like two minutes. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about the most important thing."
"Okay, I am on my way."
She hung up and quickly left what she was doing. She knew her Ye Cheng was with time. He loved to keep to time and the last thing she wanted was having to listen to him tell her about that.
Not to speak off, the earlier she went, the quicker she would return.
A part of her hope it wasn’t a query but then, she would only know when she got there.
At exactly two minutes, she was standing in front of his office. She took in a deep breath, preparing herself mentally to see him then she knocked on the door and turned the doorknob.
Stepping into the office, she greeted him and remained by the door.
Ye Cheng who had not started his work was obviously waiting for her arrival and upon seeing her, he pretended to put on a stern look.
"Come have a seat."
She approached his desk and took a seat opposite him.
"Why did you leave work early yesterday?"
’Should he really start with that or he should apologize?’ Li Jing thought.
"I am sorry, I had to meet up with a proposed client."
"Hmm, who?"
"Mr Kang."
"Alright. That is not the reason why I called you. Yesterday I could not reach you, why? What happened Li Jing?"
"Oh that, I just wanted to relax and not have any calls come in. I did not know you would call."
’You are terrible at lying, Li Jing.’ Ye Cheng wanted to voice that out but decided to keep it to himself.
"Okay, I was worried that something might have happened to you."
"It was nothing. Sorry to have made you worry."
"No." He finally relaxed his face and Li Jing could see a hint of regret or was it sadness in his eyes, she wasn’t sure, exactly though but his next words did explain it to her. "I should be the one apologizing."
"Abit what?"
"The way Bai Qing Mei acted yesterday. I am sorry about that."
"No, do not be. I understand her. She thought she had lost you just the way you thought you had lost her."
"Hmm."
He never expected her to speak that way, considering she intentionally did put her phone off not to receive any call from him.
"Anyways, I hope you are happy to have her back?"
"Yeahh..." Li Jing noticed that his reply seemed off and raised her brow at him.
"What is the matter?"
"It is nothing. I am just trying to put things in place. It all seems..." He did not have the riht word for it or know how to put it to her as he may sound absurd that he was doubting his girlfriend.
"You find it strange?"
"Exactly. I know what I saw, I watch as the yacht exploded and I lost consciousness."
"Okay, if that is so, then are you very sure she was the one?"
"Yes. It was the same clothes and outfit that she wore on that day when we first saw each other in the morning."
"Okay, so you are sure she was the one?" Li Jing asked again to make sure.
"Well apart from her clothes, her face was covered, so I couldn’t see her. But I knew she was the one." Ye Cheng paused.
’Knew!’ That was true. It would all make sense. He wasn’t so sure if she was the one. He only saw her clothes and that was all.
"You do have a point Li Jing."
"Do you think it might all be linked or maybe she was kidnapped but wasn’t used. No even that do not make sense to me."
"Yes."
"Have you noticed anything suspicious since she returned? Perhaps during your discussion, yesterday?"
’Or she spent it kissing you nonstop that there wasn’t much of a discussion?’ Li Jing voiced out in her mind.
Even though she was displeased, he was still her boss and that was his personal life.
"No, just the story she told me about how she escaped which sounded wrong to me. Then we talked a bit and a mail came and we called Hao Huizhong."
"Hao Huizhong?"
"Yes, we were all best..." Ye Cheng paused again and his gaze trailed off to the side. Li Jing arched her brows at him questioningly.
All of a sudden he returned his gaze back to her. "That is it!" Ye Cheng exclaimed.
"That is what?" Li Jing asked, still shocked by his exclamation.
