CHAPTER 73
"Sign here sir." The delivery boy stated calmly as he handed the note to him and Ye Cheng signed then tipped him.
The young boy’s eyes widened at the huge tip he received and quickly bowed his head to thank Ye Cheng. "Thank you, sir."
"Thank you." He collected his order before closing the door and headed for the dining.
By the ti he got there, he t Li Jing eating but her mind seed to be sowhere else as she did not turn her head upon his arrival whereas his friend was grinning from ear to ear while giving Ye Cheng that looks of, ’My Guy! You did not disappoint.’
Apparently, Ye Cheng was not in the mood to play gas with him and returned his gaze to Li Jing.
He did not know why he was doing this as this was no longer the sa as just being competitive with Yi Wang Lei.
Although that was what started it, he found himself anticipating the look of surprise on her face at his present. He always looked forward to seeing her smile and since, yesterday he annoyed her and decided to try and make it up to her.
"Li Jing, this is for you."
Hearing her na being called seed to have woken her up from her thoughts and instinctively she turned her heads in his direction to look at him.
Imdiately she laid eyes on the gifts he presented her with, Li Jing’s eyes widened and almost popped out of their sockets.
"Oh, my Goooddd!!" She could not believe her eyes.
There was Ye Cheng standing in front of her with a bouquet of roses in one hand and a shopping bag containing several wines with a very big white teddy bear to go with it. Also, there was another bag, showing Cadbury’s chocolate symbol of it.
He got her, a bag of chocolates! Boy was he planning on spoiling her rotten.
Although the flowers had caught her attention, it was not as much as the big white teddy bear in his hands and the bag of chocolates.
He was happy at the reaction he got from her. Boy was he glad. At first, when he placed orders, he did not know if she would like those as the only girlfriend he ever had in his life was Bai Qing i.
Even as at that, she wasn’t a fan of chocolates and teddies. What she valued more was the best spa appointnt and pieces of jewelry and the likes that most big rich heiresses did.
He knew Li Jing was different, that was why he decided to try sothing else and surprisingly, she loved it.
Before Ye Cheng could tell what was going on, Li Jing stood up and walked hurriedly to where he stood at the entrance of the dining room to et him.
"I love it, thank you." Her eyes lingered on the giant white teddy bear that was in Ye Cheng’s arms.
Ye Cheng noticed that was the gift that she seed to have captivated her the most was the teddy and not the roses. He ntally took note before handing her the teddy bear.
Imdiately it got to her hands, she felt as though she was given a weight to carry as it was not as light as she expected, making her wonder how Ye Cheng could easily carry it with one hand.
"Thank you, so much." She peeled her eyes off her teddy as she rocked it from side to side before looking at Ye Cheng and saying her words of thanks to him.
She was grateful he got her that. She always wanted one but Ding Jiaying refused to get her any toys except her daughter’s old ones that Li Xiu disliked.
When she was older, she got herself one but Li Xiu tore it to threads while picking a fight with her.
Although Li Jing knew that her sister had only started the fight because she was jealous of the new teddy that she bought, Li Jing did not say anything more after Li Xiu accomplished what she wanted to accomplish.
So now, for the first ti, she was having her own real teddy. This was a dream co true.
By and by, Ye Cheng was beginning to fall for her simple, naïve, yet intelligent nature and found himself smiling whenever she smiled or whenever he recalled sothing about her.
He knew he tried to protect this heart of his, but when he was with her, things just wasn’t as they seed and he wanted more. There was sothing more, more of her vibe, more of her goodness, more of her intelligence, her likeable character.
More of everything.
She stood on tiptoes, shocking Ye Cheng and Yi Wang Lei who had beco a sudden spectator in the house and their audience, before bringing her face closer to his ear like she wanted to tell him sothing and planted a soft kiss on his cheeks.
"Thank you so very much, Ye Cheng. It ans a lot."
"You are welco."
He handed over to her the chocolates and helped her keep the flowers on the table in the living room so she could tend to the teddy bear and the chocolates.
From there he proceeded to his seat with the wine and brought out all 6 bottles of wine on the table.
They were each of different types of fruits with two being alcoholic and four without. The two were specifically for himself and Yi Wang Lei as he wasn’t so sure, she did drink alcoholic drinks yet.
In no ti she was back at the table and t the guys talking between themselves then joined them and they all had a nice evening.
Before they knew it, three hours had gone by and they were still talking and laughing hard. It was Ye Cheng who broke the happy ti and reminded Yi Wang Lei that he had sowhere to be.
"Young man, it is ti to go ho," Ye Cheng announced.
"Sure, Li Jing we would be on our way now." Ye Cheng raised his brows at his friend.
’What is he saying?’
