Chapter 751: Informed 2: Not A Bad Man

CHAPTER 751

By the time Li Jing finished cleaning up, Ye Cheng informed her about Yin Lifen’s call and what they discussed.

A satisfied smile spread across her face but she did not say anything and proceeded to get changed.

Once done, she joined him on the bed with their dinner carefully placed on the tray on the bed.

“I am famished,” she informed him, keeping her intense gaze on the food.

Just watching her want to devour the food whole made Ye Cheng happy. She was taking the situation better than he had thought she would.

.....

He patted lightly on the bed beside him, signalling for her to come over.

By the time Li Jing was fully seated, she picked her chopsticks and tried some of the shredded chicken and vegetable sauce.

Ever since she left home that day, this was the first meal she had put into her mouth.

It wasnt the first she tasted chicken but it tasted heavenly. The more she tried the other dishes, the more she felt her appet.i.te grow.

Ye Cheng watched as she ate to her fill but the way she munched on the food, he knew something was wrong.

She was trying but now she was trying too hard. That was when he noticed she really wasn’t alright and all she had been doing had been a facade.

Thankfully she lifted her head and pushed her hair from her face as she ate her fill.

That was when he got a good glimpse of her eyes. They were puffy. And not exactly how they had been when they returned.

It simply meant she had cried.

“Li Jing.”

“Hmm?”

“Hold on before you choke on your food, okay. It’s all yours, I would ask them to bring more for me and you, if you wish.”

“I...” Her eyes budged out as she quickly clamped a hand across her mouth and rose to her feet.

The way everything went from okay at one minute and down the drain the next second made his eyes widened.

Blurp! Blurp!

Listening to the sound of her throwing up all that she had eaten, Liu Xueyi shook his head and proceeded to leave the bed.

A part of him knew this would happen when she insisted on choking on her meal instead of eating calmly.

Although this wasn’t how she acted when she was feeling stressed or anything but she behaved that way for him.

To conceal the fact she wasn’t okay just to prevent him from getting worried.

A complete waste of time, Ye Cheng thought.

In the end, she hurt herself and made him worry.

His feet came to a stop beside her close to the toilet as she emptied her bowels again and again.

Slowly his hand patted on her back, alternatively rubbing down the length of her back in a soothing manner.

“Let it all out, baby. All out. You do not have to be strong with me. It’s your duty to be a baby. I’ll be here to protect you as my baby.”

She forced out another cough and emptied the contents of her stomach.

Once she was done, she flushed it, rose to her feet with his help and headed for the sink to rinse her mouth and face.

Even with everything happening, Ye Cheng did not for once scold her but calmly pet her to her amus.e.m.e.nt.

Once she was done, he picked her up bridal style and took her to the bed.

He went ahead to clear the meal and get her a gla.s.s of clean water. At first he offered her something light to eat but she refused and decided to go to bed.

Although he wants happy she did not eat again, he was happy with how she relaxed afterwards.

The last thing he needed was for her to bother about anyone else but herself.

“Goodnight pumpkin,” Ye Cheng said as he placed a light peck on her forehead.

*****

By the next morning, Ye Cheng woke up before she did and snuck out of bed.

Due to how shaken she was the previous night, he refused to leave her alone and stayed with her all through.

However, there were things that needed his handling and one of such was the case with Chen’an.

Ever since the day he accidentally electrocuted her instead of Ten, his conscience p.r.i.c.ked him concerning her health.

And now that Ren had helped him rescue Li Jing, it was only natural he did the right thing and set her free.

Just thinking about them and the kind of love they shared, warmed his heart.

In no time, he arrived at the room where Chen’an occupied. Giving a simple knock on her door twice, Ye Cheng waited for her response before turning in the door k.n.o.b and helping himself inside.

To his surprise, she was seated on the bed with the blanket drawn up to her stomach, shielding her lower body from the cold in the room.

“h.e.l.lo, good morning,” Ye Cheng greeted and took closer steps inside the room till his feet came to a stop in front of the bed frame.

“Good morning,” her raspy voice greeted in return. “To what do I owe this pleasure, Ye Cheng?”

“You have nothing to fear. I only came to see how you are faring.”

“You mean having been locked up in here like a prisoner?” Her tired gaze raised up to look at his eyes.

She could sense his hesitation and the fact that he was sorry with everything that had happened.

However, she was pa.s.sed caring at this point. She just wanted to see Ren and be sure he was alright.

“If that’s what you are asking about then yes. I am doing great without my freedom.”

He released a deep breath and began taking a slow walk in the direction of the window in her room.

“You were never a prisoner. See,” he half turned with his eyes directed at the entrance of the room. “The door wasn’t locked either.”

“That is a point but you and I know I cannot set foot out if this room or even this house and I won’t be dragged back.”

“True. I would not deny that fact. Althoufh6, I had my reasons. I needed you to be within reach to allow Ren, your boyfriend to tell me the truth.”

“He knew nothing,” she snapped as her fingers gripepd tightly on the duvet.

In the end all she ended up doing was earning a direct glare from Ye Cheng. Instantly, all of his smile drained from his face and all he had left was a tired look as he returned his attention back to the window.

“If you are not sure of things, do not speak. I know you are blinded by your live for him...”

She did not give Ye Cheng the opportunity to speak freely as he wished before refuting his words instantly.

“It’s not about that. My iSight wasn’t clouded. Ren is a good man.”

Averting his eyes from the beautiful and tranquil scenery outside her window, Ye Cheng brought his gaze back to her.

“He is. However it does not change the fact that if the man he worked for wanted Li Jing dead, he may well enough have done that.”

“No,” she denied once more. “Not my Ren. He said things were complicated but he was not a bad man and I believe him.”

Ye Cheng did not know if her actions were done foolishly out of love or she was just too trusting?

Regardless he could see a part of Li Jing in her. Li Jing had not known if he was evil but she helped him notwithstanding.

She wasn’t in love with him but she followed her instincts to save him and because of homs he got into so many troubles.

“Call me naive or stupid. I am a good judge of character. And I am sure you are here and not angry because somehow, Ren proved to you that he was one of the good ones, didn’t he?”

His lips pulled back into a small smile that spread across his face and reached his eyes.

He had to give it to her, she was right though but still.

“You should know there is difference in trusting blindly and trusting both with your head and heart. You are too trusting and that, one day can be used against you.”

“I know. I am willing to face anything head on when that happens. All I know is that currently you are holding an innocent man.”

“On the contrary, he wasn’t so innocent after all. I knew he was hiding something and I was right but in the end, your boyfriend a.s.sisted me in finding Li Jing.”

“He did?” Chen’an asked with a shocked expression shining proudly on her face.

“Why are you shocked? O thought you trusted him. This shouldn’t come to you as any useful news. Instead yohs hiudk be happy.”

“I am. However, I cannot say I am not surprised. I really hoped he had nothing to do with her kidnapping. Now I just feel stupid a bit.”

.....

Having listened to her response, Ye Cheng’s smile broadened. “Were you listening? He wasn’t involved the way you think. At least his boss was but not him. He on the other hand was able to help.”

“I see.” Although her eyes seemed lost, she nodded her head in understanding. “Where are they? Where is Li Jing and Ren?”

“Ren, he is with my friend. Only I and Li Jing cane home together. Do not be too bothered, I am sure now that everything is out in the open, he would come for you.”

“I am not.”

“Great. Have it at the back of your mind, he does loves you and a lot.”
