CHAPTER 113

By the next day, Li Jing quickly decided to get to work on her own without Ye Cheng's driver.

Till now, she was still a bit angry at him and very angry at his stupid girlfriend that she decided to just stay away from him first.

By the time she got downstairs, she was shocked to see the black Maxda that usually took her to work, waiting for her outside.

'Ye Cheng!'

At the same time, Ye Cheng who had barely slept all through the night because he was thinking about the current problem on ground, did not still fail to try out her line but nothing.

Her phone was still off.

Guessing the reason why he decided to send his driver very early to check up on her. He knew that she might use this opportunity to run away and not follow his driver like she did yesterday, that was why he sent him there before his usual time.

ACHOO!

"Someone must be cursing me this morning or speaking ill of me," Ye Cheng lamented to himself as he held his nostrils with his left hand.

He looked over at his wall clock and saw the time.

"Oh, Hua Duyi must have arrived at her place by now. I bet she is the one speaking ill of me. Naughty Li Jing. See you at work."

He too went to have his breakfast before heading for work.

Achoo!

At the same time, Li Jing who was making her way past the parking lot, pretending as though she had not seen Hua Duyi, instantly sneezed.

"Who hates me this morning? Must be Li Xiu or Duan Tian. Sigh, what do I do with them?" She shook her head and brought out her handkerchief to wipe her nose.

In her occupied state, she failed to see that Hua Duyi had noticed her and quickly drove the car up to where she was standing.

HONK!

He blew the horn close to her, startling her by the sound and making her turn around.

After which, he winds down the glass and smiled at her. "Good morning, Miss Li. The Young Master would be furious if he caught you jumping a bus."

Catching her breath, Li Jing replied him with her hand on her waist. "Who said anything about jumping a bus? I can very much get a cab."

"Is that so?" Hua Duyi asked her, raising a brow at her." You forget that this, not a very busy street Miss Li, it would be hard, except you want to actually trek out of the street to the main road," he briefly informed her.

Hearing the information she failed to notice, Li Jing's jaw dropped a fraction. She had completely not thought about it since she had been dropped and carried to work every day.

She just thought it was maybe the wrong time that she came out and returned, that was why she did not see a lot of cabs parading the street.

Secondly, only truly wealthy people lived there and a majority of them had their cars.

"Well, I can trek. That is not a problem," Li Jing stated as a matter of fact.

Hua Duyi let out a soft sigh as he stared at the stubborn lady. "Have you ever trekked it or gone for a morning walk?"

"Umm… Ni, why do you ask?" Li Jing looked at him confused by his sudden question.

"If you had done that, you would know it is a very far distance for you to trek especially on a morning going to work."

"Oh." That was the only word she could utter right now.

"Miss, please enter the car and let us go. You do not want to be late, you know."

Left with no other option, she turned around the car to the passenger's seat and entered, then carefully shut the door and they left.

"That Ye Cheng knew what he was doing bringing me to stay here. Couldn't he just rent anywhere else for me to stay?"

"He did not rent there, Miss. The young master owns the place."

Gulp!

She knew she had muttered that to herself, so how then did he hear her? She looked at the mirror at his front and found him smiling.

"Hmm, he does, huh."

Hua Duyi did not engage in any discussion with her and drove her to work quietly, leaving her to her thoughts.

It was these same thoughts that always made her not to watch where she was going once inside the car and by the time he got herself back, they had gotten to the main street.

As soon as she arrived at the company, she went to her office to quickly arrange her things and prepare for the new day.

Yesterday's incident had left her quite some work to tend to. She even failed to present the business plan she was making at home when she heard the news, because of it.

And now, she just couldn't any longer. She would have to leave Mr Kang to handle the deal with the business slides.

She sent a message to her assistant, telling her she would be busy and do not want any visitors except for meetings scheduled today.

This was her own little way to rid herself from Ye Cheng as much as possible, forgetting that he owned the company and he could go anywhere he wanted to without any disturbance.

Ye Cheng got to his office as well and before he started anything for the day, he called Han Qing Qing.

"Yes, sir," Han Qing Qing said as soon as she answered the phone.

"Tell Li Jing to be in my office within the next five minutes."

"Okay sir, but…"

"But what?"

"Nothing sir, I would tell her right away."

"Why not call her, must you go to her office?"

'Huh, who said anything about going to her office? Besides, why didn't you call her yourself? It is not like you do not have her number!'

In as much as it annoyed Han Qing Qing that Ye Cheng could have just called Li Jing rather than her, he still chose to make her do it, she still could not argue or tell him to his face. Her only option was to do it.

It wasn't her fault that his girlfriend had talked anyhow yesterday, so why should he drag her into this mess?
