CHAPTER 830 — Avoiding Suspicion Till It's Right

Bai Qing Mei could not believe the level of insult she had to endure from Hao Huizhong, whom she thought was always by her side and was ready to have her, even though she knew she was chasing after Ye Cheng. She bit her tongue, holding back the urge to cry or scream. If he wasn't willing to help her, she thought it would be best to find her help somewhere else and subsequently cut away from him for good. 'He's just jealous.' She shrugged, throwing away thoughts of his betrayal. 'If he is not coming to my aid, then let's use someone else.'

Tapping away on her phone, Bai Qing Mei ended up finding someone else to help deal with her dirty deed.

"Hello, Wang Bin?"

A low hum seeped through the phone, irking Bai Qing Mei some more.

Here she was thinking of the best way her ploy can go and ruin it better still—kill Li Jing—and someone whom she needed his help was acting lazy. "Wang Bin!!"

"Yes? Why so grumpy, Young Miss?" The latter's grumpy voice reached her ears, adding fuel to the fire in her brain.

"Wang..."

"Alright. Alright, alright. I've heard you already," he said, pacifying her. "Tsk. If you wish me to still do business with you, a lot has got to change." At the mention of business, the lazy man's tantrums instantly ceased, and he straightened his back, sitting up properly. "Umm, let's rewind. You lost me there."

Her brows creased, and her muscles tensed slightly. Blood rushed through her veins. She was getting angry, but she fought to maintain her composure. "I lost you everywhere, Wang Bin!"

He exhaled softly. Ye Cheng reached behind her, wrapping his hands firmly around her waist as he leaned in close, his nose brushing against hers. With their closeness, Li Jing could feel the thumping of his heartbeat against his chest. And for a moment, she allowed her ears to follow the sound, her mind calmly relaxing to it. "I already lost my real father and have none with me. He is the only thing that has been closer to one in the past few years. I owe him that little care, come what may."

"I know. I am not dissing you or calling you a liar." He exhaled sharply.

"You only scared me, and that worried me greatly. The least you could have done was call me and explain or send a text when you got there that you are alright."

Surprisingly, Li Jing sighed heavily, which only triggered his suspicions, and his muscles tensed. He already warned her that no one from that family should hurt her or disturb her. If things didn't go well, he would not hesitate to make them suffer.

"Li Jing."

"It was nothing I couldn't handle. As usual, I met my bitchy foster mother and sister there."

"Did they hurt you?"

"No. Father was on my side a bit today, and for some reason, it felt nice."

"Of course it'll feel nice." Immediately, Ye Cheng cupped her face tenderly, brown eyes staring into brown, their thoughts mingling, their minds understanding each other. "You yearned for that your whole life, and now, as much as you got it briefly, that inner child in you is thrilled by everything. It's good. Your visit wasn't all that bad."

"It wasn't."

"Thank God."

He pressed a kiss on her forehead, then moved down to her nose, and finally, his lips claimed hers in a passionate kiss. 'Thank goodness.' Li Jing voiced inwardly. She couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. At least not yet. Not until she has proof that this was what was happening and there was a big link to their case. 'There wouldn't be any false hope raised. That being said, what should my next step be to fix this quickly?'
