Chapter 43 - You Really Are A Whore

CHAPTER 43

At the same time, Li Jing who was not expecting the sudden pull, fell face forward and landed on Ye Cheng's waiting body, causing both of them to fall on the ground.

Ye Cheng who had least expected the turn of events was taken aback. Not reacting on time with his right hand raised and fist clenched, he managed to catch her but fell down with her.

With a loud thud, both found themselves lying on the floor just like the first morning they spent together.

While still trying to process the situation, Li Jing stared at Ye Cheng with dazed unblinking eyes. In her mind, she was in another world, experiencing what she felt the first day again.

No one moved. Eyes locked on the other, heartbeats racing, breathing ragged and matched.

Ye Cheng moved his hands on her arm and snaked one to her waist while the other went up to her chin. "Are you alright?" His questioning gaze wandered all over her flushed face as he scanned her for injuries.

"Um… uh yeaah..." Li Jing managed to mutter. She was lying on his bare chest now and her heart could not contain the shock and excitement of being on top this god-like being.

"Hmm."

"Sorry for bumping into you," Li Jing apologized.

"No. I was at fault. I got paranoid and thought someone was coming."

"Oh, I see. Thanks."

"For?"

"You know, serving as my shield. Or my face would have been scrunched up or worst."

Ye Cheng let out a soft chuckle at her words and smiled. "Considering I caused it, there is no reason to be."

He turned his head to the side and saw the things she bought sprawled on the floor. Is eyes landed on a pair of clothes coming out from the shopping bag close to her left-hand side on the ground?

'Men's clothing! What is she doing with…?'

He returned his gaze back to her and arched a brow at the now flushed Li Jing.

'Dang it. My surprise has been ruined. I might as well just cry at my unlucky life.'

Rather than say anything, Li Jing returned his questioning gaze with a smile and lightly laughed her nervousness away.

'Awkward! Yikes. Behave yourself, Li Jing.'

Carefully, Li Jing moved back and got up. Ye Cheng did as well and looked at her up close.

'Why is he looking at me like that? Do I have dirt on me or is my hair pretty messed up right now?' Li Jing thought. She could not begin to fathom the thoughts running through this stranger's mind and his endless stares made her feel uncomfortable.

He moved closer to her and held her chin again. Before she could protest or make sense of what was happening, he lifted her chin and turned her head to the side.

After he was done inspecting her, he let her chin go.

'Good, no injuries anywhere. So she is behaving like this because of what? I thought I would have to take her for treatment. Oh well, she did use me as her cushion.'

"Sorry, just making sure you are okay," Ye Cheng quickly pointed out since she was looking at him weirdly.

"I am fine. No need to worry."

"So you two cannot wait to get inside before getting intimate at the doorstep."

Li Jing and Ye Cheng turned their head towards the sound of the voice and their eyes landed on a tall not too handsome man standing at the doorway.

Ye Cheng's brows creased as he stared at the unfamiliar intruder. 'I knew I heard the sound of a car. Who is he? Is he one of those kidnappers?'

While Ye Cheng was trying to process his thoughts, Li Jing spoke up, clearing the mystery for him.

"Duan Tian."

'Oh, she knows him.'

"What are you doing here?" Li Jing asked him. Her once flushed face, totally changed into a serious one as she glared at him.

"Shocked that I would find out about your lover?" Duan Tian scoffed at her. His gaze shot up and his eyes landed on Ye Cheng who was standing behind Li Jing. "I see you have a new one now. What happened to your other rich lover, Luo?"

As much as Li Jing was tempted to say something to him, she pursed her lips tight and balled her fist, restraining herself from doing something she may regret.

"Are you too ashamed to speak? Or you are scared of revealing to this gigolo just how many lovers you have?"

'And who is this imbecile calling a gigolo?' Ye Cheng thought. He had planned on not butting into her issue but then, this idiot, Duan Tian who he did not know just insulted him.

"How shameless of you, Li Jing. The rumours were true, you really are a whore," Duan Tian added.

"Duan Tian!" Li Jing was already angry at the idiot that appeared out of nowhere and now he was here spurting nonsense.

"I wonder just how many men you mistress to while we together? Haha… I expect nothing less from the daughter of a mistress."

That was it, the thread that held Li Jing's anger broke.
