CHAPTER 142

Regardless of his friend's state, Jun Tai Hua was not going to let him brood like a lost soul when there was clearly still hope for him with Li Jing.

Just like the girl herself said, nothing is going on between her and Ye Cheng and Luo Jinhai could use that to his advantage and still be close to her.

"Why not use this opportunity and invite Li Jing to go with you as your date?"

At that moment, Jun Tai Hua's word seemed to have struck a nerve in Luo Jinhai and his eyes lit up. "Yes! That makes absolute sense." Luo Jinhai brimmed with joy at the idea.

Never had his friend made more sense in his eyes other than this and a smile formed on his lips at the thought.

That was it. He would call her and ask her.

"You see, my ideas are great," Jun Tai Hua praised himself.

"Tsk, was it not your idea to go and meet her at the bar that day? And look at how that one turned out."

"Hey, I said go and meet her and not the other way around. I never told you to provoke her or Ye Cheng for that matter. Now you are blaming me. What an ungrateful guy, tsk I would keep my ideas to myself from now on."

Jun Tai Hua pretended to be offended and turned his head to the side with his eyes closed.

"Tsk, until when would you stop behaving like a babe and act like an actual man," Luo Jinhai scolded him.

"Hey. Jinhai, it is obvious you do not want my ideas anymore. You should be begging me."

"Are you a lady?"

"No, then stop acting like one."

"Why you…"

"You know u was joking. Your ideas are great. Thanks. Now what do you think, should I call her or ask her out for dinner and tell her?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Do not be like that or I would call you a lady. Just be my friend and give me advice."

"Fine. You cannot do without me, so I would let this slide and help you. This is what we would do to get you your girl."

And just like that, it was weekend and the time Li Jing had subconsciously been waiting for.

She got off work a bit early, so she would go shopping with Yin Lifen and forgot to actually let Ye Cheng know about it so he would not call Hua Duyi to pick her up.

Ye Cheng who was busy in his office got a call from Hua Duyi that he had not yet seen Li Jing. Confused, Ye Cheng tried calling her office line but nothing.

He even had Han Qing Qing reach out to her assistant and call Li Jing for him. He did not bother calling her phone as she always had it switched off.

When Han Qing Qing returned, she reported to him that Li Jing left work early.

"Where can she be?" Ye Cheng asked in anger. He was almost having a fit thinking about her whereabouts. His hair was no longer arranged but now a ruffled mess as he had a habit of ruffling them when he was worried or stressed out.

"I think I saw her leave with a girl earlier," Jack chipped in.

He had been silently watching his friend and was amazed at how worried Ye Cheng was just from finding out Li Jing left the company without telling him.

Ye Cheng shifted his gaze from Han Qing Qing to his friend who knew where Li Jing was all these while and thought it wise not to tell him. The look in Ye Cheng's eyes was like ones of an angry lion.

"Yi Wang Lei!"

"Hey you never asked for my help," Jack shrugged at him. "Not to mention, it was fun watching you be worried." He wore a smug look and gave Ye Cheng a thumbs up.

"I would get back to you for that." Ye Cheng shifted his gaze back, "Han Qing Qing, thank you. You may go."

Meanwhile, Li Jing and Yin Lifen were already at the shop picking out outfits for her outing with Ye Cheng when her phone rang in her bag.

Currently, she was busy trying out different outfits, leaving Yin Lifen with the option to get her phone for her.

As soon as Yin Lifen saw the caller, she smiled and walked up to the dresser where her friend was currently changing.

"Lifen, who is calling?" Li Jing asked.

"Guess!" Judging from the excitement in her voice, Li Jing without being told knew who it was. "Loverboy is calling."

"Fen Fen, he is not…"

"Yeah yeah, I know, just answer his call and not keep him waiting." Yin Lifen interrupted her and handed her the phone.

Li Jing shook her head and took the phone. Immediately she answered the call, the usual yell that meant she did something wrong followed.

"Li Jing!" She quickly pushed the phone far from her ear to save her eardrums. "Where are you?"

"I went out." As she answered, her eyes gazed up at the screen and saw the time. 'Yikes!'

"And who did you tell? Ye Cheng asked her. "What is the time on your phone?"

His voice was growing impatient. That was when it dawned on her what he meant by that. She had totally forgotten about Hua Duyi since Yin Lifen came to pick her up.

"I… it is already 4:30 pm."

"Good, glad you can still tell the time although I wondered why you forgot before."

"I am sorry."

"Come back to the office," he ordered her and honestly it had only ended up pissing her off but he was her boss she had to swallow it.

"But… I am out, picking clothes for the event." She quickly explained to him, hoping he would see reason with her about why she left.

"No need, come back. I have already had your outfit arranged. It would be delivered to you later today."

"Oh." Those were the only words her brain could manage to form at that point. He seriously had everything thought of, didn't he!
