Chapter 52
Before Li Jing could react, she saw him fall down to the ground and collapsed.
"Ye Cheng!"
Not wasting any more second, she dashed to where he lay on the ground and turned him around.
She could see the clear blood stains and that only indicated one thing... His wound reopened.
****
At dawn the next day, the blinding light of the morning sun sipped into the room, further illuminating and bringing life to the room.
A pair of eyes blinked open and after some seconds, the owner finally moved his head to face the second person on the bed.
Ye Cheng's eyes soon found their bearing on Li Jing who was half sitting and half lying down.
It looked as though she fell asleep while watching over him.
His eyes wondered the room and noticed he was not in his room but hers.
Slowly he sat up but the process caused a strain at his injured side, causing him to since from the pain.
No sooner had he done that, than Li Jing raised her head, yawning in the process with her hands spread wide at her sides.
Her whole body felt like tons of bags of rice was placed on her the entire night.
After stretching herself, she averted her gaze to her side and her eyes locked with his.
He had a normal expression not like his usual stoic one.
"Good morning."
"Good morning. How do you feel now?" Li Jing asked, her eyes widening in concern.
"Better. Thanks."
"No worries. I think the fall in the tunnel did you a solid. Luckily your wound wasn't infected. You were overly stressed out by yesterday's activities, causing you to collapse."
"I see." He knew he would probably have his wound reopened but he never expected bot would get to that extent of him fainting on her.
"I am sorry to have stressed you once more."
"It is okay. I guess you would have to see a doctor to properly stitch it up and give you some medications. I did first aid, you need proper treatment," Li Jing informed him as she got up from her chair.
Ye Cheng followed after her and stood up. "Hey where are you going? You need to rest more," Li Jing protested.
He just barely recovered, she wasn't ready to go through any surprises at all.
"I am fine. I have things to that needs attending to. Get ready, we would be leaving here in an hour."
"Where are we going to?"
"Another house and to get somethings done."
Not waiting for her response, he made his way towards the door and left her to tend to herself.
By the time they were done, both of them left the house and headed for the main city in his car.
In no time they arrived at another mansion with better and more expensive designs and infrastructure.
As soon as they got in, they were greeted by some maids and a butler.
Ye Cheng left Li Jing in their care and bade her farewell.
As he was about exiting the house, Li Jing rushed after him and held his elbow.
"Where are you going? Let me come with you." Although they weren't close or anything, she still felt he was less of a stranger to her than all the maids and butler.
Besides, what would she be doing in this big mansion? She wasn't used to not doing anything and from the looks of things, she won't be doing anything in this luxurious house.
He turned around and gazed down at her. "I would be back to pick you. For now, you are safer here. I can be rest assured that no one would hurt you. Just wait for my return."
"Okay." She lowered her head at being rejected but as quickly as her face fell, she smiled recalling something and waved him goodbye.
Noticing her change in expression, Ye Cheng was about commenting, but decided against it and left the house.
By the time she turned around, she was greeted with the smiling faces of the attendants.
They all gave her a knowing smile as though she had something going on with Ye Cheng.

Meanwhile Duan Tian had been waiting and looking forward to any news concerning Li Jing's new lover.
He moved to his living room and switched on the television.
After some search he found what he was looking for.
"Yes! Perfect!"
Duan Tian raised his hand a bit and tightened his fist as his gaze lingered on the television news.
Just them Li Xiu walked into the living room and met him in a happy mood.
"Sweetheart," she called out as she cat walked to where he sat on the couch and sat down next to him.
"What's making you so happy?"
"Li Jing!" Duan Tian exclaimed, his smile not dropping.
"Li Jing?" Her brows creased at the mention of her sister's name. "What would you be happy over Li Jing?"
"Listen to the news. Something happened."
Following the line of his gaze, Li Xiu fixed her eyes on the screen and listened to the news.
After two minutes, she returned her gaze to him. "What has a raid got to do with Li Jing? I thought I would see someone dying and you thought she was the one, rather this?"
"You know yesterday I told you about seeing Li Jing?"
"Yes, and I recalled telling you to leave her, which you did."
"Technically, no."
"Duan T...tiiaannn!"
"Okay, I know you said not to, but it was good. I needed to find out where she was staying and I did."
"Go on," Li Xiu replied as she narrowed her eyes and folded her arms in front of her chest.
"I found her with a man and... "
"Why am I not surprised? I told you she was a no good. It hasn't even been days since you threw her out and now, she has jumped with another man. I am so embarrassed to be related to her."
"Well the guy seemed suspicious and to pay him for the insult I received, I kind of pointed some men to where they were. And this was the outcome."
As he spoke, he gestured towards the television and his smile widened.
