Chapter 178 - Luo Jinhai\'s Confession

"What is that?" Mr kang asked her. He was getting curious by her analogy.

"They went against the big fish. This is the business world and they hope to remove his company from the number one spot as the top leading business in the country."

"Their terrible miscalculations." Both heads turned towards Ye Cheng at once and Li Jing smiled at him.

"Of course, it was their terrible miscalculations," LI Jing continued. "It isn’t easy to remove someone or a company from a position they worked so hard for just because you got a very good business plan. He controls the stock market and with the snap of his fingers, he can control them."

Li Jing went on and on explaining things to Mr Kang while Ye Cheng could barely contain his smile and excitement on how her brain worked wonders.

She was like a little mech tech genius but this time, she was a cute financial brainiac.

"Well she has said everything that needed to be said. We would delay our own business plan and deal with this issue of theft first."

"Yes. My apologies Li Jing. I hope you can found it in your heart to forgive me? I know you cherished this work so much."

"It is all good. Happy we narrowed it down."

"Do not worry, I would make sure Li Xiu gets what is coming to her," Mr Kang assured her.

Ever since this event had been going on, Li Jing did not have the time to meet with Luo Jinhai for his date and that had only made Ye Cheng happy.

He was beginning to lose himself but even at that, it felt alright and okay.

By the time it was Christmas eve, Luo Jinhai placed a call through to her and asked her for a date.

"Hey, Li Jing."

"Luo Jinhai, how are you?"

"I am fine and you?"

"I am okay. Nothing much."

"That is good. I know your week was somehow rough and I decided then wasn’t the best time to call you, that was why I did not disturb you or call you as I said I would."

"It is okay. Thanks for considering."

"How is Ye Cheng? Hope he isn’t causing so much trouble for you?" Li Jing had been waiting for him to bring up Ye Cheng, she needed to tell him off once and for all.

"He isn’t, you do not have to worry."

"Okay. Li Jing, I know it has been long and things haven’t been going on as well as they should, but please, would you love to go to dinner with me?"

Luo Jinhai waited for some seconds but he got no reply from her. She was as quiet and mute as she could be.

"Li Jing!" He increased the tempo in his voice, hoping to get her attention.

"Yes?"

"Oh, you are back."

"I never went anywhere, Luo Jinhai. I am still here on the phone with you."

"So, what do you say? How about a pleasant dinner, tonight?"

"Okay. Dinner sounds nice."

"Alright, I would come and pick you up."

"Alright. I would text you my address then."

"Thank you."

Instead of answering him, Li Jing smiled to no one in particular and ended the call.

She had a Christmas dinner to prepare for and unlike every other year that she had to stay home and cook till almost midnight in preparation for Christmas and to entertain her father and mother’s visitors but this year, she was alone and for the first time, she did not have what to do.

It was as though his call came at the very right time or she would have been bored to death just sitting at home, probably cooking or doing something else that was obviously boring.

She dropped her phone and went to get ready for her date.

While both of them were eating, Luo Jinhai decided to be responsible enough to ask her up front if she was dating Ye Cheng so he would back down.

"Li Jing, can I ask you a question?"

Li Jing who was about putting a fork full of chicken in her mouthy suddenly paused at his words before lowering her fork down and cleaned her mouth with the napkin.

"Yes, you can." She could tell just from the way his brows creased and his expression fell, turning serious, that it was something really important and probably bothering.

"I know it is not my business but Li Jing, I have known you for as long as I can remember..."

’Go straight to the point and don’t make me lose my appetite.’ Li Jing said in her mind but still wore a crazy ass capturing smile.

"Are you in a relationship with Ye Cheng?"

Her eyes dropped at his question before she picked up her fork and knife to eat. She took a mouth full of chicken meat and when she was done chewing, she had the strength to answer him.

Even though she did not like things were about to get down, she still had to be there.

"No, I am not in a relationship with him."

At her reply, Luo Jinhai let out the breath he had been holding in all through her little torturous ordeal where she took her time before answering.

"WHOA! But he kissed you the opther day," Luo Jinhaoi interjected.

"Yes he did because you wanted to be paranoid."

"I am sorry. Li Jing ever since I met you, my thoughts changed and I always wanted to be around you. Li Jing, I have watched you grow and face different obstacles in life but you scaled through each of them. You have been a fighter since long and I realized how much I admired that. What I am trying to say is that, Li Jing, I love you."

GHAN GHAN!

"Always have and always will. You have been the girl of my dreams but then I chose not to let you know as I saw the way in which you adored Duan Tian that scumbag so I let go as your happiness meant more to me than mine."

"Thank you."
