CHAPTER 47
Ye Cheng loved the looks in her eyes when she is dazed from his looks. Although she behaves stupidly then, it was one of the things he liked about her.
<Ye Cheng: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, author… like! Have we gotten that far yet?>
<Author: Don't be such a killjoy and let me give my readers a good read, baka.>
'Li Jing, control yourself when he is around. But he is so perfect. I bet no girl can withstand his charms. Since he would soon leave, let me enjoy staring while I can.'
With her thoughts set in place, her shyness disappeared instantly. She knew this stranger would soon leave her as he could walk about now without difficulty, so rather than feel bad about admiring him, she was going to enjoy doing so before he left.
'Besides, once he is gone he would definitely not remember me.' She said inwardly and a smile broke out on her lips as her eyes closed.
Ye Cheng watched her expression change from time to time and wondered what crazy thing was going on in her mind.
Suddenly, she turned her body so she was facing him fully and clasped her hands close to her chest. "Who is hungry?!"

Back at the base of the hill, Duan Tian moved over to where his car was packed and got in. No sooner had he sat don than his phone rang.
"Li Xiu, why is she calling me? It is not yet up to one hour or did something go wrong?"
Duan Tian raised his head to look at the people ahead. They still stood at the same spot he had left them. To the side, he saw a man who seemed to be their leader on a phone call with someone.
"I hope this would do." Ignoring them, he went ahead to pick his call. "Hello, Li Xiu, any…" before he could say anything more, he heard a sultry voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hey baby, where are you?" Li Xiu said with the sexiest voice she could muster.
Duan Tian who had least expected such a thing from her gulped down his saliva hard at the voice. "About to drive home to you. I just took care of Li Jing."
"Leave Li Jing alone. You can tell me all about it later." Duan Tia could sense the irritation in her voice when he made mention of Li Jing, but as quickly as it came, it was gone and replaced with her sexy voice once more.
"Guess what I am doing baby? If you don't come back now, my hands would take care of…"
"Don't do anything. Get those naughty hands off and wait for me. I would be there in a jiffy. Wait for me."
He quickly cut the call and put his hand brake on reverse, then drove away, leaving Li Jing and Ye Cheng to their fate.
To the other side, the men discussed and gathered the others, flinging the fliers in their hands away as they talked. After a minute, they turned their head to the side to look at their boss who was on a call.
"Yes sir. I think the information is true."
"Don't you want to confirm before carrying out the plan?" A deep voice asked from the other end of the phone.
"He could be long gone by then. We can't take chances. Besides, the guy looked convincing."
"What did he ask for in return?"
"Nothing. He wanted nothing and just left."
"Good then, set the plan in motion. Let the raid begin."

Meanwhile, Li Jing and Ye Cheng sat down together in the dining table after having their dinner together.
The look on his face showed that he had something serious and important to say to her and Li Jing averted her eyes away from his intense gaze.
She felt nervous having him watching her like that as though she was in front of a panel of judges or an interview. Even if it was any, she wouldn't be this nervous.
She did not understand it herself, only he made her this way and it was getting too much. She needed to stop being this way.
Just as she returned her gaze back to his and was about speaking, he spoke first.
"I would be leaving tomorrow."
"What!"
"Yes. Thank you so much for all your help."
"You can't go?" Li Jing suddenly blurted out of nowhere, stunning both Ye Cheng and herself. He arched a brow at her, waiting for her to explain to him the reason why.
"I mean, your injuries aren't fully healed yet."
"I can walk and do things on my own. I should not intrude further."
"You are not disturbing me. I just want to make sure you are out of mortal danger first, then I wouldn't have to worry about you or your injuries getting infected."
"I…"
"If you feel like you do not want to cause more trouble for me like the incident of today, that has nothing to do with you. You do not have to bother with the words of that jerk."
She did not know where all these words were coming from and her own words shocked her, but more than anything she had a bad feeling about him leaving.
She could not place it, but something told her things wouldn't be alright.
"Li Jing, I do not want to interfere in your life and I am already grateful for all you have done. It would be wicked of me to stay longer, besides my being here can endanger you. Someone has seen me."
"But Duan Tian does not know who you are and…"
Screech!
As she spoke, Ye Cheng heard the sound of cars driving up the hill and stood up instantly.
Scared that she might have said something wrong, she spoke up. "Okay, I am sorry if my outburst annoyed you, please sit down first…"
"Li Jing!"
She stopped talking and looked up at him. "Get down!"
