CHAPTER 184

Of course she could do it if it was just them but with everyone around... Oh Boy!

"I would take that as a yes, then. We would do it. No Li Jing, let's not keep them waiting. Remember we have outing later. You need to prepare as well."

'Hey, don't just go about making decisions on my behalf! I do not want to.' Li Jing pouted as she thought to herself.

She could not believe this guy one bit. But even as much as she wanted to protest, she could not even open her mouth to complain or even look Ye Cheng in the eyes.

"Very well, sir."

The head butler moved back and left them, giving them the not so good privacy he thought he gave and further opening the way for the prying eyes of the maids.

"Hey." Ye Cheng lifted Li Jing's face up by her chin and turned her so they were now standing face to face as he stared into her beautiful eyes. "Here goes nothing. To good luck."

He spoke he wanted to make a cheers and before she could even protest that she wasn't prepared, Ye Cheng snaked one hand to her waist and pulled her closer to him while the other hand held her chin in place and he brought his face closer till their lips sealed into a perfect kiss.

By the time they stopped kissing, a loud round of applause erupted from their sides and Li Jing could not help letting her smiles envelop her face as she stared at them all.

"Pluck the mistletoe!" One of the maids announced.

"Very well." It was Li Jing who spoke and she reached up to get the fruit but Ye Cheng was taller and got to it first. He handed her the fruit and watched what she wanted to do.

Somehow, after the whole kiss, she became bolder and not as shy as before the kiss.

'Kissing under the mistletoe really does wonders.' Ye Cheng thought.

He was beginning to enjoy the whole thing and waited to see how special it could be.

Li Jing peeled her gaze from the fruit in her hand slowly before raising her head so their gazes met. Her smile still remained glued perfectly on her face as she watched him watch her through his lashes.

He looked so heavenly cute with the way he looked at her. Heaven knows she had been missing so much since. Who knew that kissing Ye Cheng would make her feel this way?

He was the best thing that had ever happened to her and she was more than grateful that their paths crossed.

What more could be better than this? Even though she did not know what fate had in stall for the two of them, she was willing to give it a try and watch where it lead to.

Her fingers brushed the fruit in her hands as her consciousness slept away, throwing her into wonderful thoughts.

Slowly, her eyelashes dropped closed and she pressed the hand holding the mistletoe to her chest, making a silent wish.

With the way they stood, if captured, they looked like a couple in a painting, wishing under the mistletoe.

"Ready whenever you are." Ye Cheng's voice seemed to have pulled her out of fantasy land and she smiled. She had almost forgotten people where waiting for her. "And they are waiting too."

"Sorry, I just…" she shook her head and her smile broadened. She took the fruit and brought it to her lips as he gaze beheld his, not breaking eye contact.

Just when they thought she would throw it into her mouth and eat it all, Li Jing put it in between her teeth and reached for Ye Cheng's neck, wrapping her hands around it before pulling his head down for a kiss.

Her actions had left everyone stunned. They never believed that she shy young miss would be able to initiate a kiss with their master.

Ye Cheng first of all bit from the fruit, before covering his lips with hers and kissed her. Their lips entwined and danced to an unknown rhythm.

Seconds later they pulled apart before eating the fruits and swallowing. Another round of applause followed and the couple, without looking at them, turned towards the door and headed out of the house.

"Whoa!!"

They could still hear the cheers and claps coming from inside the house but that did not matter to either of them as he brought her to the car and opened the door for her to enter.

'What a Christmas morning.' Li Jing thought to herself while waiting for him t o round the car and get in.

***

Just as planned, Li Jing prepared the dinner and Ye Cheng came over.

It was even better than the food of the last time and a part of him was tempted to dash her one favour but he kicked against it as she was already turning cunning and could use it somehow he may not like.

He left, but not before stealing a kiss from her and making his way home.

While they were busy enjoying the joy that came with the Christmas, someone was having a fit at his happiness.

"Bloody hell! What is the meaning of this?" Bai Qing Mei yelled, her gaze remained unmoving from the pictures in her hands.

Three maids stood before her, each holding a tray in their hands with their heads hung low.

"Arrghhh!!" She screamed again, almost deafening the eardrums of the maids standing with her.

Quickly she picked up her phone and dialed Hao Huizhong's number. "Huizhong!"

"Qing Mei, merry Christmas."

"What is good about the Christmas?" She hollered her question. Hao Huizhong who had thought that she called to wish him a lovely Christmas was shocked by her words.

"What is the matter Qing Mei? Who has wronged you this time?"

"Have you seen this?"

"What?" He was not getting her clearly as he wasn't there with her and obviously did not know what she meant.

"Ye Cheng and that wench!"
