CHAPTER 214
They had so little conversations and after so ti, Ye Cheng said the most important thing.
"I trust so. Well, Li Jing, I do not know, but are you set?" It was already getting to evening. He hated being a spoil sport, considering as both parties may like to bond well but he also wanted to spend ti with her.
Sohow he felt a bit selfish with what he was asking but he did anyways?
"Umm... I-I uh..."
"It is okay dear. We have all the ti in the world. I won’t be letting anything take you away again. You can go and have fun with these lovely gentlen and enjoy your watch night together."
"Thank you, grandfather." She was happy that he was understanding. She did not know if he would have allowed, not because he was keeping tabs on her but because he just found her and t her for the very first ti in his life.
So she understood if he wanted her to stay longer.
"Thank you, sir," Tang Zixin appreciated his thoughtfulness and stood up. "Ye Cheng, what say you, we all go out for dinner? I know a very nice restaurant that we can spend the reminder of the night just talking and enjoying so tasty al as friends."
Ye Cheng understood what he was doing and so did Li Jing. Both n wanted to spend so quality ti with her but none of them would be willing to relinquish the ti for the other.
And so Tang Zixin’s idea seed to best. They would all go out and enjoy their ti together as friends. No strings attached.
Strictly friends, dinning together and enjoying the last day of the year.
For Ye Cheng he needed the outing especially with what his father had done and he was already very hungry as all he took in Mr Lin’s house was a glass of wine.
"Fine. We can go."
"Cool then. Li Jing are you up for it?"
"Definitely."
"It is settled then." He returned his gaze back to Mr Lin and with a smiling face, called their eting to an end.
"Do take care of her, you two."
"We surely will," Ye Cheng quickly responded and held Li Jing’s hand. "Bye."
"Bye grandpa. See you in the new year."
"Sure. No hugs for gramps?"
"Of course there would be." She pulled away from Ye Cheng and went to hug her grandfather goodbye.
By the ti they got outside, that was when Li Jing found out that Hua Duyi was no longer there. It only ant one thing. Ye Cheng sent him back so she could ride with him.
Cunny, naughty CEO.
"You’ll ride with . I would follow Tang Zixin behind."
The way he said it basically left no room for argunt. It was more like an order while still being suggestive and protective of his territory. Tang Zixin shook his head at him but did not bother uttering one word to him.
"Okay, Jing. Let’s go."
With that, they entered their respective vehicles and drove off. They got to the Star Ryler which was the most luxurious restaurant in the whole city and quickly they were lead to the VIP lounge to have their seat.
"Li Jing, how do you like the place?" Tang Zixin asked her. He noticed her eyes had been darting to and fro, checking out the place since she got there.
Feeling caught red handed, a small blush appeared on her cheeks before she replied. "I like it. I am glad we ca here." Indeed anyone being there would love the place.
It was luxuriously designed with expensive decorations.
With gold and black being the primary colour there. Even down to the cutleries and plates were designed with gold and white to add flair to it.
Everything about the place shone and breathed radiance, glamour, wealthy. It was no wonder it was the most luxurious restaurant in the city.
Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t owned by any of the two young gentlen seated with her.
Booyeah!!!
"Let’s place our orders. Dinner on ," Ye Cheng quickly called the shot and signaled for a waiter.
Their dinner was pleasant and once done, Ye Cheng ordered their best desserts to be sent over. As they waited for desserts, they engaged in several small talks, while Li Jing tried to fill Ye Cheng in on so of the things that happened between her and her grandfather.
She did not fail to try and caution herself, lest she ntioned what her grandfather said about she taking over his business to Ye Cheng as she knew what that would an. He would not be happy and for this night, she wanted no sadness whatsoever.
"It is good to hear. You two have an uncanny resemblance. I have t Mr Lin before during a business conference but then my mind never went to it. Stupid of though."
"Nah, it is okay. You are a busy person with a lot of businesses to manage and control. Even if it ca to your mory, you may likely forget."
"Sa here. My excuse would be worst. I do not have any excuse to give considering he is a family friend. Our families having been doing business since my grandmother, but it never clicked as well," Tang Zixin chipped in after taking a sip of his champagne.
"Guys, please stop with the blas okay. It is supposed to be a happy day. No sad monts."
"Yeah, no sad monts. Cheers, to friendship and a happy end of year," Ye Cheng raised a toast with his glass of wine raised into the air.
Li Jing and Tang Zixin followed suit, mimicking his movents with a smile. At this stage, it felt like all their worries was gone and nothing else mattered or could possibly go wrong.
They wanted to bask in the mont for a long ti and even the jelly bean Ye Cheng was truly happy. It was what he needed after the annoying eting with the Fang’s today.
"To friendship!"
~~~~~~
Sneak peak to future chap.
Minutes after their desserts was served, Li Jing felt pressed and excused herself, heading straight for the rest room. Unknown to her, her evening was just about to get better and annoying all at once.
"What do we have here? If it isn’t the mistress whore herself."
"You!"
