CHAPTER 74

"It was nice being here. Thanks for having us. Ye Cheng, let's go." Yi Wang Lei beckoned on his friend but Ye Cheng did not budge.

"Speak for yourself. I am not going."

DANG! Yi Wang Lei was left stupefied by what he heard. He did not expect that Ye Cheng would say that. Wasn't he the one who told them to leave?

"But you said it was late."

"Yes, for you. Do not forget you just came back from the states and need to avoid late nights. I still have some unfinished business with Li Jing. Be a good boy and go ahead."

Even though he wanted to argue, he just could not because he got the hint loud and clear that Ye Cheng wanted to spend some time with Li Jing and agreed to leave first.

At least this was proof enough that his friend was beginning to open up and see the possibility of loving again.

"Fine! Li Jing," He averted his gaze from, his annoying friend to Li Jing. It was truly a pleasure. The food was sumptuously delicious."

"Glad you like it, Jack. Thanks."

"Welcome. Bye guys." He excused himself and Li Jing saw him off to the door before coming back to meet Ye Cheng.

"Finally!"

Did she just hear him clearly? Wow! This was a first for Li Jing to see Ye Cheng be like this.

Without looking at her he could already tell how her facial expression was. Yes he knew that he shocked her but he just did not care about that for now.

"Come and have a seat, please."

Without questioning his motive, she obeyed and took her seat on the chair closer to him. "Anything wrong?"

"No."

"Okayyy… So, how was it? The meal."

Instead of giving her a straight-up reply once, Ye Cheng let out a soft sigh and his expression changed to one of a father ready to scold his child and leaned back on the chair.

"Ummm…"

"Huh? Come on, tell me, how was it?" Li Jing could not keep it up anymore.

She had been waiting to hear his thought on the food and now he seemed so… relaxed and stern-looking like a critic.

"Well, it wasn't bad. It was simply just umm…" He moved his lips and brought his hand under his chin as his gaze left her to the empty dishes on the table. "It was simply superb."

Her eyes dropped close at his compliment and the breath she did not know she had been holding in was suddenly let out as her chest fell down with it.

A smile broke out of his lips at her reaction. It was as though she was undergoing a food contest and waiting for the results to be called out by the judges. "Relax. It was great and I loved it."

In as much as he did not want to let her know because he was still angry that he shared his dinner with a third party, he just could not hide it and thought that she needed to know as well.

He reached for her hand on the table and gently rubbed it to help her calm down. It was at this point she opened her eyes to look at him, returning his pleasant smile with one of her own.

"I am glad you liked it and as I earlier said, I promise you your own personal dinner. You earned it for being a good boy."

"Tcshh…" he chuckled at her statement. She was beginning to treat him like a child again. Although it felt annoying, it was coming from her. He found it calming and nodded his head at her.

"Because of that, I have decided to grant you one favour as well."

"What!" Did she just hear him clearly? Did Ye Cheng actually want to give this to her?

"Yes, you heard me quite alright. I am giving you a favour. So use it wisely. It is rare that I do this."

Oh, he did not need to tell her as she could very much see that. He wasn't the granting of favours type so easily except when you impress him like what she did today.

Which was also a very rare occurrence as this barely happened. He was not easy to impress so she had come to know of him.

"Okay. I can ask for anything?"

"It depends."

"I do not understand."

"Just ask, Li Jing."

"Fine. I want to use my favour to cancel your favour."

0_0

Was she joking right now? How could she cancel a favour he earned? Tsk someone was being naughty and Ye Cheng was going to change that.

"Sorry, you cannot do that."

"But why not. You said I could ask for anything."

"No, quote me. That was why I said, it depends. I knew your naughty mischievous mind would definitely not let you ask for something nice and easy."

"Of what use would it have been if I did? Besides, I…"

"I earned mine, just as you earned yours. So, no cancellation and unreasonable requests."

"Fine."

"Deal?" She nodded her reply before peeling her gaze away from him as she let her mind be drowned in her own thoughts.

Both of them stayed there for some minutes more without uttering another word to each other and Li Jing found it awkward as he did back then when she met him.

She was left to wonder what was on his mind though and then she could fix everything.

Her mind drifted to the day she slept on his body when he first woke up and she began to recall that scene and how stupid she looked when she was drooling over how handsome he looked.

As her mind was playing wonders on her, Li Jing could not fight the urge that was eating her up to take a look at him and steal a glance of his handsome face.

And so she did.

Thinking he was watching her, Li Jing let her gaze linger on his handsome face first then slowly she found herself wanting to see more and let her gaze drop to his throat, his Adam's apple…
