CHAPTER 624
"Shut up. It was still business but on that day, I kissed her."
"You what?" Fong Wei Ling was shocked.
"I was drunk and..."
"You did what? Ye Cheng, since when did you allow yourself to waste away like that?"
"Dude I was hurt by my girlfriend I thought dead and my best friend. What did you think?"
"Okay. I am sorry. Please carry on."
"Well, I wanted to protect her from a guy. I guess it got leaked and that was when people started shipping us together and thinking she was involved with me and all. But from there, we became close. I became, as I said before more protective of her and always uses the excuse of work to get to see her."
"Interesting. What a typical young CEO."
"Well, soon I began to realize I had feelings for her and seeing her with other guys, people trying to hurt her cause of me. It did not help. We kissed on different occasions though but I do not think we said it out. Our feelings. Or I did but she didn't. Anyways that is it."
"Enh, that is what? Hey, you haven't finished the story," Fong Wei Ling protested.
"Yeah, about that, she left. She found her grandfather so she had to leave and she left for good."
"So how did you two come back to. Her travelling shouldn't have put a barrier right?"
"I got busy with the new bidding project and later, I saw someone else kiss her and thought she had moved on. Turns out, was wrong but I was too hurt to know what happened and I left her, without a call or anything."'So your jealousy was what ruined you guys, huh?"
'You couldn't blame me. I had been hurt before and now it felt the same and so I just left. Then she came back to establish their business here and that was how we started again."
"Did you ever tell her about the kiss?"
"I did, much later though and she clarified things. She confessed her love for me and..."
"And you married."
"Hmm, something like that."
"Wait, something like that? Come on, what shitty things have you been putting your hands into?"
"Nothing. Do not mind me. What matters is that we love each other, we are married now and I would do anything to protect her even putting my life on the line any day. Do not worry, what I am doing for Sying, I am keeping a promise. Even if she is found, I cannot marry her. I am so much in love with Li Jing to want to hurt her but for friendship sake and to make mum happy."
"I understand. I almost forgot your mum was more obsessed with their disappearance than you."
"Yeah. It broke my family but I can at least find them to give her back that joy."
"I understand you. Please always make her happy. From my investigations and all, I see she is a good girl and she has changed you so much. For me, it is an honour to meet someone like her."
"Thanks, man."
"Yeah, I wish you two all the best and I won't say pause with your sexual acts, carry on cause I need a godson to pamper silly."
"Tsk, I might as well just hide my son from you all. The lot of you would spoil him silly."
"We can and we would because of you but we would not want to dishearten sister-in-law, so we would let him take after his father but not so cold like you lest he becomes a woman man. He would be a gorgeous man though. Oh, I would be proud."
"Get out."
Knock! Knock!
"Umm, Wei Ling, I got to go. Work calls." As he said that he looked up at his wall clock. "Wow, we really did spend time talking today."
"Yeah, it's been long since we did this kind of catch up."
"Sure thanks, man. I never realized it but talking about the past like this, I feel a lot lighter and now I am missing her so much."
"Same. No, I do not mean to miss your wife but I am glad. I missed this time hanging out with the guys so much. I miss us. We all have been so busy that we barely hang out like when we all went abroad to study."
"Well thank goodness we can catch up during the weekend outing but first we need to ensure we put Chairman Zhang in his place before he does havoc in our absence."
"Yeah. Leave that to me. I would send some warnings to him and his lovely daughter."
"You mean granddaughter right?"
"No. I mean his daughter."
"But she ain't involved."
"She is his daughter and although hi slove for Bai Qing Mei runs deep, I bet it would freak him out when I come after his own daughter. That would be my warning."
"Well, do what you must and just be careful not to take it to the extremes."
"I know. Have a lovely day. Your guest still awaits at your door."
"Oh shit, yes I forgot. Bye."
He ended the call, dropped his phone and his table and settled down before calling out. "Come in."
The doorknob turned and Yi Wang Lei stepped in with a file in his hand, containing some documents.
"Wang Lei. Welcome. Sorry about the delay."
"Hmm. I would say. What took you so long to get the door?"
"Huh?"
"Yes. It is not like sister-in-law is around and I would say you two were getting down on it in the office. No, except you had another girl but hen..."
That was it. Ye Cheng had had it with his friends and their stupid talk.
<Ye Cheng: Author why make them all so perverted like this?>
<Author: Sorry but as they say, birds of the same feather, flocks together.>
<Ye Cheng: Are you lumping me in with them?>
<Author: I'm not the one who wants to go to Li Jing, now, am I?>
<Li Jing: *Giggles*>
He picked up the small desk calendar thing he had on his table and used it to stone Yi Wang Lei. Luckily the latter dodged on time. "Hey relax will you. I was joking.. Of course you won't do that when you wife is such a beauty."
