CHAPTER 228
"I am okay. Glad that I still have her. We talk every now and then so, I am not really sad."
"That is good. It is nice you still maintained a good relationship with her and you are there to be understanding for her."
"I only wish for her happiness, that's all." His once saddened face managed to produce a small smile which ended up warming Li Jing's heart. She was happy he told her that as now she understood him more and why he felt sad that she was leaving.
"And she would get it as long as you remain by her side to help her and to love her."
"Yeah." No one spoke for some seconds more before Ye Cheng broke the silence. "Now eat up."
"And what about you?"
Ye Cheng paused what he was doing with his fingers and returned his gaze back to her. "Me?"
"Yes, you."
"I umm…"
"Do not lie. I know you haven't eaten. Come and join me."
"No, Jing. This is strictly yours. You need to eat and get fat."
"What? Are you trying to say that I am skinny?"
"That's not what I meant and you know that. I meant that with the stress of things happening, you have lost some wait a little bit. You need to eat up and gain that weight back before your grandfather thinks I am not taking care of you well."
Li Jing was left speechless. She did not know what she was going to say to him.
After some seconds she blinked and looked down at her body to check the reduction he was talking about but she found nothing. Then she raised her head slowly and let her gaze lock with his with her lips slightly ajar and bent to the side.
"What weight did I lose?"
"Plenty. Take a good look at your arm," Ye Cheng poked her arm then continued poking some parts of her body he could touch that she lost weights just to emphasized his point.
"Please, do not make me laugh. Kindly join me and eat."
"Would you be feeding me?"
"Hey you are the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, so stop acting like a baby and eat, young man!"
Ouch! Bossy!
Honestly speaking, this was the first time he was hearing her speak in such an authoritative manner and that had left him completely spellbound.
He had to admit that he loved her bossy side and subconsciously his mind drifted away to when they kissed and she took the lead.
Oh yes, our baby's new non-naive nature was finally showing.
"Stop staring at me like it is the first time you are seeing me, Ye Cheng, and eat before it gets cold. Or I would not be eating again."
"Okay, okay, okay. Fine! I'll eat, boss."
"Better."
'Did she just accept being called a…' his thoughts were scattered by her new behaviour, further entangling him in the web of her heart. Without further ado, he stopped playing and joined in.
Ring!
Ye Cheng and Li Jing turned their heads to the direction the ring tone was coming from and that was when it dawned on Li Jing that it was her phone that was ringing.
"Oh." She quickly picked it up from the table and answered the call.
"Hello, good morning sir."
"Li Jing, my darling child. Good morning. Happy new year. How are you?"
"Grandfather, I am fine. Happy new year. How are you?"
"Great. You see, I went to visit you at home today but you weren't there."
