CHAPTER 623
"Ah, I see, so it was a hard thing after all for you to leave her by herself hey?"
A burst of loud laughter escaped his lips at that moment. This was really something. He had been looking forward to this day but their busy schedule did not let him.
"You naughty... tsk. I knew it. The fact that you have kept yourself, it would be terrible when you finally let go with the girl you love, right?"
"I said not to speak about it," Ye Cheng voiced out in a threatening voice.
"Why not? It is so much fun you know. I recall when I first started tasting meat. Aaah, the thrill of it all," he giggled out loud. He knew how uncomfortable that discussion made Ye Cheng but he made it his mission to raise it up.
"Stop it."
"What? It was just a curious question. So tell me, are you?"
"I am not answering that."
"Hm, well I guess I would just go and ask my sister-in-law if that is okay."
"I said to leave Li Jing out of it."
"Then answer. You are old enough to talk about these things. Now stop being a weeny and speak up. It feels good right?"
"Yes," Ye Cheng finally gave in. The last thing he wanted was for Fong Wei Ling to disturb Li Jing and make her embarrassed.
Other than him, it was very easy for Li Jing to become embarrassed when it came to the topic of sex and stuff and he knew his friends. They could be a pain in the ass when they need and want to.
"You see. It was easy. Hmm, hope you do not stress out our sister-in-law?"
That was it, Ye Cheng was done with trying to please him. He was taken hold of the opportunity to butt in too much.
"Tsk, I think you have enough playtime on your hands, Fong Wei Ling. I bet it would be great to give you some work to do. How is the investigation for Sying coming along, huh?"
Hearing him mention that, Fong Wei Ling gulped hard and adjusted his tie. "Tsk, do not always be a pain in the ass you know."
Instantly, Ye Cheng's voice changed, becoming deeper and colder. "That was not what I asked you, Wei Ling. Where is Sying? You claim to be the best, how come you cannot find someone like her?"
"Do not insult me, Ye Cheng."
"I will if you do not get your shit together and work, rather than gossiping about my sex life. Tsk." He let out a deep breath, relaxing back into his chair as he awaited his friend's response.
"I knew it. Ah!" He half yelled through the phone. "So that was what this was all about huh?"
"What are you yapping on about, Wei Ling?"
"Simple. You got mad just now because I made you spoil a teardrop in the ocean of your life and now you are on about Sying. Fine, if you miss her so much, why then did you marry Li Jing? Does sister-in-law even know about her?"
Ye Cheng tightened his hand into a fist. His friend was lucky he couldn't see him.
"Shut it, Wei Ling."
"Ah, I see. So sister-in-law doesn't know, huh?"
"Stop talking while I am still nice."
"Nah. Get mad all you want. So does Li Jing know about this?"
"She does."
"Wow, so how does she feel. It must have been hard for you to let her know. You were so obsessed with Sying back then. No other girl was worth it to you I was even surprised you agreed to date Bai Qing Mei and thought you had let go of your obsession for her."
He knew once Wei Ling started a conversation he wanted answers to, it was going to be difficult to evade him. And even if he chose to end the call on him just so he did not answer, it do not help either as when he needed help, he would use it as a criterion to help.
Letting out a sigh, Ye Cheng placed a hand over his face as he spoke the truth. "I got hurt by Qing Mei and though I didn't love her back then when we started, I was warming up more to her and beginning to."
"You could not fall for her. It was obvious," Fong Wei Ling cut in sharply.
He knew his friend and he knew what Ye Cheng could do.
"Well, I was really hurt and I did not plan on letting anyone in. Instead, I think I wanted to just go back to loving her and searching for her but then Li Jing was there at that moment and although I did not notice it back then I was already falling for her."
"Wait, hope you do not mean she was the easy way out due to your hurt?"
"Can you hear yourself? Were you even listening when I was speaking?"
"I did. I just want to make sure since she came into your life at the point when you were hurt."
"Hmm," he let out a breath again. This talk was becoming sensitive for him. "She wasn't an easy way out. You should know me by now. Relationships are important to me and I would not just give in like that just to escape the hurt of my previous relationship."
"Okay, I believe you. So continue."
"Anyways, she was there for me. She was intelligent and just what Dream Star needed and so she became Dream tar's financial manager. Although I gave her the position first, irrespective of her saving me. She was worth it and more. She was a business gem."
"Okay. A good one for my sister-in-law."
"Yeah. She was brave and also faced hurt at that time. We were both betrayed it would seem so we understood what we were going through. However, her family still pestered her life as well as her ex. I became more overprotective of her especially after I found out Bai Ming Mei and Hao Huizhong betrayed me before then it was business and after that..."
"Pleasure."
