Chapter 735: Mood Swing: Stubborn Li Jing

**************

CHAPTER 734 – Stubborn Li Jing.

Li Jing walked into the office, wearing a cooperate black fitted gown, with a pair of silver heels to match with a similarly dressed Yin Lifen, putting on a dark blue gown just like her own.

“Hey. You do not have to be so headstrong about things you know,” Yin Lifen reminded her.

Li Jing spun on her heels, facing her friend with both hands on her waist as though she was standing before a toddler who did wrong.

“Of course, you would side him. What was I to expect?” She spat out half bitterly.

It wasn’t that she was angry, no. She was damned annoyed Yin Lifen would not take her side on such an important matter.

.....

Ye Cheng meant the world to her but his refusing her from stepping out of the house, after all, they discussed yesterday was absurd.

They had an important meeting and it took all the pleading in her being before Ye Cheng let her leave the house.

Even at that, she had to promise him to allow his bodyguards to go with her. One drove at the front and the other behind.

She felt her head spin in her mind. She was not one who loved such luxury. No.

She wasn’t brought up with it and even though she married into a rich family and her grandfather was from such as well, she was not cut out for it.

Only for her to tell Yin Lifen and she took Ye Cheng’s side.

“Li Jing, Ye Cheng has a point. I know he overdid it.”

“Exactly,” she interrupted Yin Lifen, throwing her hands in the air. “It was too much.”

“Considering you did come to an agreement yesterday. Like what was he thinking?” Yin Lifen thought out loud.

As much as she knew what he was thinking, she only said those words to make Li Hing feel better.

And when Li Jing stared into her eyes, noticing the playful smile in her eyes, she fumed, even more, her anger rising a notch.

“Urghh!”

Before uttering any more words, she snatched the file in Yin Lifen’s hand and walked around her desk till she came to her seat and sat down, dropping the file on the desk in front of her.

Her chest heaved up and down, going slightly ragged than usual.

Watching her, Yin Lifen knew she had nothing to worry about. She maintained her smile, thinking of ways to make her favourite and best friend smile again and see things from her husband’s point of view.

“Li Jing. You know better than this that he has a fair point and you should know how Ye Cheng feels about you, right?”

“I do but it does not excuse him,” she pointed out as a matter of fact.

“Sure it doesn’t but I think your husband is scared. Sacred of losing you.”

“I know. I understand and I do not know why I am all so angry and mad at him.”

“That is true. Because if you were bothered so much about the meeting, I could handle it and the investors would understand. However, you still fought with him,” Yin Lifen reprimanded shaking her pointy finger at Li Jing.

“Someone was naughty. Why are you so crank baby?”

“I wish I knew.”

Her head lowered in complete surrender and just then the image of Ye Cheng feeling bad when she kept on fighting to leave the house flashed before her eyes.

“I made him sad,” Li Jing muttered.

“You sure did,” Yin Lifen breathed out sharply and scooted out of her seat. “He cares so much but it feels like you are saying he is wasting his time. That wasn’t fair.”

“I know. I know.” Her lips puckered out cutely, as the frown that once marred her beautiful face finally straightened out, leaving a cute crease on her brows.

“I am not the one you should be apologizing to but your husband, Ye Cheng. He knows the real danger. You have not yet seen the wickedness of the world my darling friend. Had you seen it, you would know better.”

“I think I have a bit. They did it to him, my family did it to me.”

“They were your foster family which was why they acted that way. Well, even real families, there are those whose greed is insatiable.”

“Yeah.” She nodded in agreement before she let out a hard sigh.

“Call him and apologize Li Jing. At times it doesn’t matter who was right or who was wrong but you know from your heart that you hate to see him sad and so does he. It was due to that he had to go against his fears and let you out, set you free. Appreciate that.”

“Okay. I would call him.”

“That’s my girl. Now, I do wonder. What got you this way? Are you on your period?” Yin Lifen went straight to the point.

She had no interest in beating about the bush and hit the nail on the head.

Instead of answering the question, she dipped in her head some more, avoiding Yin Lifen’s gaze as much as possible.

“Gosh, you are still such a baby at heart. What is there to hide? Do not tell me you hide this from Ye Cheng as well?”

“Well, I... We began our argument this morning. It started at night. I got changed and went back to bed.”

“You do know he would never allow you out, no matter how you plead.”

She let out an exasperated sigh, leaving her lips parted as she stared in disbelief at her friend.

“Have you forgotten your menstrual cramps can be a pain in the ass as the day gets on?”

“Well, the pains have not yet started,” Li Jing defended, making Yin Lifen feel as though pulling out her hair would teach this naughty adult a lesson.

“Where are your medication? Have you taken them?”

She shook her head at Yin Lifen before sinking into her chair further.

“The nerve!” Yin Lifen hollered at her. “Why? What are you waiting for?”

“I...” when she lifted her eyes, Yin Lifen was greeted with Li Jing’s best puppy dog face. “I left it at home.”

“How the hell can you forget this? Li Jing? It is not like you are new to this thing. What s your issue?” Yin Lifen questioned again.

“What would you have me do? I was frustrated this morning.”

“You were having mood swings dummy. How can you not figure that out? When you start screaming today, I would make sure to record it and send it to Ye Cheng. I would thrill to see him rushing here and glaring daggers at you before he scolds the life out of your brain and takes you to the hospital or home.”

“Hey,” Li Jing shot her a fair amount of bad stare.

“Save it for someone else. A lousy worker perhaps and not use that on me. I have been trained well by your husband. Such lousy stare from a puny chicken, my chicken cannot work.”

Li Jing hissed and turned her head to the side.

It was one thing to get angered by Ye Cheng and nagged to death by Yin Lifen. All in a day when she was having mood swings.

Too bad for her that lashing out in Yin Lifen was not an option. She would get scolded the more.

Indeed, today wasn’t her lucky day that was for sure.

“I am sorry.” She apologized after some thought on it. That was the best way to escape all of these and besides,

“Sorry for yourself,” Yin Lifen retorted.

Her anger increased at her friend’s remark. Wasn’t this lady seeing she was trying her best to apologize?

Before she could complain she saw Yin Lifen get up and walk over to where she was seated.

“You need to go home but knowing you, you would refuse it. Fine. I would rive out and get you some medications. That way you can stay till noon or 1 pm and return home. Let Ye Cheng pamper you. I would call him over.”

“Okay. ”

“Now that is how being obedient is. Next time, listen to both of us, we know what is best for you.”

“I have heard you, Fen-Fen. I would keep that in mind on one of these days in the future.”

“Good. Calm down, things would play out well.”

Li Jing managed a smile on her tired face, shutting her eyes briefly.

“Sigh. Good thing it is just a mood swing. Here I was thinking at first it was because he probably denied you sex, that made you cranky.”

“Does someone get cranky from that?” Li Jing inquired innocently.

“Huh?!”

“Yes. Why get cranky?”

“Are you kidding me? You and Cheng haven’t had such a fight before?”

“Nope. Whenever he wants, I am ready. I try to match up with his sexual appetite.”

“Hmm.”

“And then one day, he said, if someone hasn’t tasted meat before and now he did, do you expect the person not to crave and want it every time?”
