Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 303 - Like My Own

***********

CHAPTER 303

"You may not understand him, auntie but I know Ye Cheng to a certain degree. He would not push things. He respect my wishes and he also needs to fix things in his life. There are too many scandals surrounding him due to his influence and power."

"It is the life of a rich business tyc.o.o.n and not just anyone, the wealthiest," Mrs Lin Huilang pointed out.

"I know. But both of us have been hurt badly before."

"Since when did you let your past relationship decided your future, Li Jing?" Mrs Lin Huiilang asked. She had a point, one that Li Jing and Yin Lifen could not argue against.

"Just think about it, dear," Mrs Lin urged her once more. "And if you think you cannot cope, then you can go for Tang Zixin. Weigh your options and pick what your heart wants. I would advise you, marry a man that loves you more than you do. Let him push for your love as well and let it not just be only you doing so."

"I understand, auntie."

"I love both men for you, Li Jing but I know your heart goes out for Ye Cheng. Know this, no matter whom you chose, I would always be here to support you. You can count on me for that."

Li Jing did not know what to say to that. This was the first time she has something close to a motherly love before in her life. Never had she received such and she felt touched really.

She was happy that she could freely discuss this kind of thing with her grand aunt. Mrs Lin Huilang was indeed a blessing to her.

"I take you and your mother like my own. I wish I was more supportive of your mother when your father pressured her, then perhaps you would have had it best in life."

"Then perhaps I would not have met Ye Cheng and the people I met from my city," Li Jing said with a smile as she looked at her best friend. 'They mean the world to me even though lots of bad memories were created from there."

"I know. So let us stop regretting and look forward to the future, hmm?" Mrs Lin Huilang smiled back at them.

"Okay, just so you know Li Jing, all hope is not lost yet," Yin Lifen chipped in, breaking the silence that ensued just now.

"Huh… Explain please."

"There is still hope if you want to spend valentine with Ye Cheng." She looked at both auntie and her friend as they waited for her to explain. "You are meeting Tang Zixin on Sat.u.r.day, Valentine is Sunday. This further makes you have time to board a plane and go pay him a surprise visit."

As she spoke, Li Jing's eyes lit up with hope and her once saddened face lit us with a brilliant smile. "I can still make it."

"Yes you can," Lin Huilang chipped in but while Li Jing was busy smiling, she wasn't.

"Auntie."

"Why you make one happy, one must suffer."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think that Tang Zixin came to just spend one day with you? I bet he wants the entire weekend with you since he would have to get back to work on Monday," Lin Huilang explained.

"But he shouldn't be selfish and still know that she would have plans," Yin Lifen corrected.

"Selfish? He isn't selfish dear. She is doing all these for someone who doesn't have her time much. Sigh! Think wisely dear, think wisely."

"Can't you see, auntie Lin, there isn't much to think about. Your baby is in love. My Li Jing is in love."

Li Jing did not argue with what any of them said. Yes she knew it in her heart that she loved Ye Cheng and only him. Also she knew she caused her problem but she had a right to want to be sure lest a Duan Tian's case repeat itself but even that had made the man she loved to calm down.

'Ye Cheng is busy and so are you, you know that. Give him time, Li Jing,' she encouraged herself while the other two battled it out with words.

A sad bright smile appeared on her aunties face as she made her way to where Li Jing stood and held her grandniece's face in her hands.

"My darling. Is that true? Tell auntie, do you really love him? Do you love Ye Cheng?"

"I…" Li Jing paused and closed her eyes. There was no denying it anymore but it was still hard to say those words out.

"It is okay. You do not need to say it out if you are not yet ready." Li Jing opened her eyes and smiled back at her auntie. "I can see it in your eyes, dear. They are there. It is etched deep in your heart, you love him."

Yin Lifen felt that the moment was so touching and did not know when tears began to roll freely down her cheeks.

"Ha, ha…" Mrs. Lin Huilang's voice broke at that moment and before Li Jing knew what was happening, her aunt's eyes began to water and the tears flowed out too.

"Auntie."

"I wish Quinyang was here to see how grown her daughter has become. It feels like watching my own daughter grow up. I am proud of you Li Jing. I am proud of your choices in life and I know your parents, wherever they may be, would be very proud of the girl you have become."

"Auntie." By the time she finished talking, Li Jing was already in tears too but she still managed to keep her pained smile on.

Her heart ached badly just by hearing someone wish her mother was here.

She couldn't describe it, this feeling, it was new and daring and bold and strong and overwhelming.

She felt her heart bleed just recalling the picture of the dazzling beauty in the portrait.

NB: I am sorry dearies but their ship is a bit of a slow one. The trials in their life need to be fixed. I feel bad that I am about to cause a big misunderstanding btw YE CHENG AND LI JING, but this misunderstanding would be what would make them confess their love for each other later in the future during their contract marriage.

I hope you would understand and stick with me. But if you want naughty, read my third book, Loving the Dragon Lord CEO... I let my comment end here but I warn you, you would have a naughty CEO there.
