CHAPTER 221

"Did I ask you for a child? Wasn't the one I had enough? And now you query me for letting her leave, wow! I bloody do not care if she dies wherever she is nor do I fucking care where she is, so if you so much want your mistress's child, then search for her yourself but know this, leave my daughter and I out of it!"

Immediately she finished speaking, she held Li Xiu's hand and together they walked out of the living room.

To her, that was her only means of escape considering she did not want her husband to find out exactly what has been going on or what they did.

Coupled with that, even if he was to ask any of the servants in the house about Li Jing or about what happened, there would be nothing to tell as she had ensured to warn them before hands never to spill what had happened on that day.

If he were to ask, then they should say Li Jing left on her own.

Li Chun did not know what he did wrong to be blessed with such a wife. He turned around and followed after them but the mother and daughter were already far gone. All he heard was the slamming of the door upstairs.

He reached up with his hands to rub his face as he let out an exasperated sigh.

What would he do with the females in his life?

****

On the other hand, Ye Cheng remained with Li Jing and ensured she was okay. The ice cream arrived as per order and both of them enjoyed the few hours to the new year watching a movie.

By the time it was a minute to go, Li Jing paused the film they were watching and turned to look at Ye Cheng.

"Hey, anything wrong?" Ye Cheng asked, arching his brows at her. He was concerned about her wellbeing and it ended up making him forget the most important thing.

"Nothing much."

'Are you sure?"

"Yes. One, two, three…" Ye Cheng was confused by her sudden count and it was not until she got to five that he understood the reason why.

"Happy newyear!!"

POOH!

GBISH!

"Happy new year." From the streets outside, they could all hear the shout coming from the people around. A wide pleasing smile broke out on his lips at her smile. "Happy new year, Li Jing."

He could not believe he had forgotten himself like that as he became too engrossed with the film he was watching. But before he could say anything, she flung herself on him and hugged his neck tightly.

"We made it to the new year. I am glad!" She still did not pull away but instead closed her eyes as she melted into the hug.

Ye Cheng's smile deepened and he freed himself, releasing his hands and wrapping them around her slim waist and pulled her closer to his body.

"I am glad as well. I am glad."

After sometime, Li Jing pulled away from the hug to look at him in the eyes. His smile was genuine and so was hers. She just felt too happy to have been together with him like this and before Ye Cheng could say Jack Robbison, Li Jing pressed her lips against his.

Whoa!

Ye Cheng definitely did not see that coming. To him she was just being happy and all considering she asked them to take their time to figure out things but she kissed him?

At firdst his eyes remained open ss his brain processed what was happening but when his mind registered the softness of her lips on his, he let his eyes drop close and parted his lips for her.

For the first time in his life, he actually relaxed into a kiss and let her take the lead, watching to see what mischief and skills she could display.

Following all that she had experienced from kissing him, she dove right n, enjoying the feel of her tongue in his warm mouth against his expert tongue.

She continued with her work and wanted the moment to last longer. However Ye Cheng slowly stopped kissing her and relaxed but his lips still remained parted for further invasion.

Not really understanding what he was doing, Li Jing felt that something was wrong and that he was not interested in kissing her and so she decided to pull away.

Seeing that she had gotten the wrong idea and stopped kissing him, he knew he was at fault and immediately, he reached one hand into her hair and guided her head back down as he went in for the kill, taking the lead this time.

He felt glad just being like that with her and did not intend for it to stop. After some minutes of basking in the warmth of her tasty velvet mouth, they broke apart to catch their breaths with their foreheads still joined together.

'I wish to be like this with you every day, Li Jing but you are right. I need to figure out just how much I feel about you and right now with the so many problems happening, I do not want to drown you in them any further.' Ye Cheng thought to himself.

He wanted to tell her these words but at the same time he felt he should not ruin the mood and just let himself watch her closed eyes.

It was as though time froze but Ye Cheng would not have bothered any way.

After some seconds she opened her eyes and met his brown ones staring back at her. She felt shy watching him gaze at her intensely but what could she do other than blush.

He was stunned though, surprised to say the least. He had not thought she would be the one to initiate a kiss with him but recalling her daring bahaviour on Christmas day, it all made sense.

"Happy new year beautiful. I hope you blush more this year and be genuinely happy."
