Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

776 Baby Hubby

****************

CHAPTER 776

Preparing herself for the visit to her father, Li Jing sought Ye Cheng’s permission first to leave the house.

Readily he agreed, thinking of it as a way to prove to his enemies he isn’t scared but ensures to keep her safe while granting her freedom.

Regardless, his whole mind was fixed on getting Fong Wei Ling to send more men to watch after her.

“I know you will not let me go without guards but my foster mother and sister would make it such a mess and a big deal as though I am showing off,” Li Jing stated with a hand on her lips.

The smile on her face did not go out as she hoped he would reduce security for her a little bit.

“Let them think what they may,” Ye Cheng stated sharply. “Any sensible human would expect such after what you have been through.”

She sighed in defeat. He wouldn’t loosen up.

.....

“Besides, it is not like that duo were any good to you. You should have my men follow you inside just in case they do something stupid. I would not spare anyone who harms you.”

“Calm down,” Li Jing pacified.

Placing her hands on his chest she shook her head. “Stop being a baby, honey.”

“Of course, I am a baby. I would act like a child if that is what it would take to get my lovely wife to see that only her safety matters.”

“And yours plus that of your mother’s,” Li Jing corrected.

“Yes, and that.”

He held her waist, pulling her body closer before placing a long peck on her forehead.

“I’ll miss you.”

“I wouldn’t be gone for long. This is important.”

“And I would not ask you about anything. I know you seek something. When you are ready to speak to me, you know I would always be here for you to listen.”

“Definitely.”

Li Jing stayed in his hug as though it would be the very last time both of them would be seeing each other.

Whether or not that was the case, she had to go. No more running. It was time to confront her past.

GBISH!

A heavy blow was sent to the face of Chairman Zhang’s right-hand man’s face as the latter’s head was sent to the side.

“Shall we try this again?” Fong Cai questioned. The sound of his bones cracking as she pressed his fingers echoed in the big room.

Sluggishly, the young man straightened his head. Dried blood stains were etched deep at the sides of his face, leaving a long trail down to his lips and neck.

His left eye was swollen after taking obvious hits from the big man standing before him.

“I should be hearing screams today. Roll my equipment forward,” Fong Cai ordered coldly.

He had no time to play. Although it had been some days since he caught the lunatic, he was willing to hear him scream in torture always.

That was just the tip of the iceberg for the annoying stunt he pulled on Li An.

“Ready to snitch on Zhang or do I make you lose some digits first?”

CHOO-CHOO!

“Hehhe, keep dreaming, you cannot even lift...”

GBISH!

“Oww!”

“That’s more like it. If you are not saying what I wish to hear, then you shouldn’t be talking at all.”

He moved his neck from side to side, wearing his dangerous look as a smile erupted on his lovely face.

“Round one and a half. We have eleven and a half more to go.”

Knock! Knock!

Reluctantly, Fong Cai snapped his head at the entrance of the door. “Yes?”

“Boss. You have a call.”

“Let it wait,” he snapped.

“It is from the madam.”

He paused. Stole a glance at the obviously happy prisoner and scoffed.

“Enter.”

The black door pushed open slowly. Soon enough, a brown-haired young man stepped in. His face was covered, leaving just his eyes to the sight of many.

“She is...” Fong Cai glanced at him, silencing the young man quickly.

He returned his attention to his prisoner and mirrored the smile on the latter’s face. Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

“Do not for once think you are lucky or have escaped. I shall be coming back for you but to keep you company, my men shall entertain you.”

Pacing in her room, Li An bit her lower lip into her mouth as her eyes remained locked on the ground.

“Hello>”

Her heart leapt into her mouth at the sound of the familiar voice.

“Finally,” she muttered before taking the phone close to her ear. “Cai.”

“What is a lovely beauty like you doing all worried?”

She breathed out sharply. He knew her no matter what. “Stop guessing everything outrightly,” she scolded.

“And why won’t I?”

“I hate it when you are right, that’s why.”

Fong Cai burst out laughing. “Okay, okay. I would not tell you I am right. Tell me what you had worried about.”

“I did not hear from you. I only hoped Zhang had not made a move and attacked you or done something worse to you.”

“Pfft. It would take more than that to kill me, Li An. You should know that better than anyone.”

“I am sorry.” She moved over to the chair in her room and sat down.

“I know there is something else bothering you. Open up already.”

“It is nothing serious. I stumbled upon her picture and I... I got scared again. I saw the accident once more.”

He went quiet. This was a past that had affected her so much that it broke her marriage.

“Li An. I told you, didn’t I? She may be your friend but you ought to think about your health too. Should Ye Cheng find out you have not gotten over the trauma and it is still affecting you like this then you...”

“You are not to mention it to him on any account,” she swiftly interjected.

He sighed. Sometimes, she was so stubborn it was bad for her.

“Li An, I...”

“Knock! Knock!

“Hold on. Someone is by the door. I’m coming.”
