CHAPTER 467
'But sincerely, Ye Cheng's childhood love, I am sorry but please allow me to enjoy my love and marriage with Ye Cheng. I would treat5 him well and love him with my life. Please forgive him and bless us. Thank you.' Li Jing kindly pleaded in her heart.
Her face lit up after saying those words in her mind.
Even though she could not completely be happy considering the sitruation she found herself in, Li Jing was glad that his heart remained with her.
"Thank you, my love. I promise, you would not regret loving me."
"Of course not. Why would I do such a thing? Says who I would leave you or you would leave me? We are together for life, honey."
She brought her lips out into a playful pout. Her happiness and carefree nature was already coming out easily.
Just to add to it, he moved closer and pecked her on her lips.
"Ahh!" Li Jing gasped but before anything else, she pulled back and blushed "Someone is being naughty, right?"
"When you are mine? Tsk, I believe I have all possible right to be. Come here, baby. It is time to bath you and spoil you."
He scooted closer to her, bringing his face closer and ready to steal another kiss. Li Jing did not move but waited patiently until his face was but a few inches away from hers, then she sprang into action and placed her palm in between them.
Opening his eyes, he was faced with a pair of smiliar brown eyes to his, staring cutely at him as though she did not just do what she just did.
"Give me a reason why I am being refused my kiss?" Ye Cheng asked.
"Umm, I have one and a very cogent one at that."
He let out a sigh, his chest falling with it before looking back at her and waiting for that very cogent reason she had.
"What about your mother, my love?"
"What about her?"
"You abandoned her, I presume?"
He let out another sigh, closed his eyes and massaged his temples. Once he was sure he was perfectly calm, he reopened his eyes and smiled at her.
"Mother would be fine, trust me. She is just being emotional."
'All the more reason why she needs you."
"And so does my wife whom she hurt. Or aren't you in need of my company?" It was very easy fro him to turn the situation around in the blink of an eye.
"Of course. You know that was not what I meant. I need you. I want you in more ways than one but she has no other person but you, am I right?"
"Yes."
"So I do not want her feeling like her last hope and her only source of joy. She doesn't have your father to speak with. It is just you and for a long time now, you have been her help in finding them. So seeing this, me, it must be pretty devastating for her."
"She would be okay. Tonight is our one month anniversary and you mean a lot to me. I am not going to ruin this night further with problems. Rather, I would talk to her first thing in the morning when she wakes up and comfort her. Is that okay?"
"Alright then, I won't force you against your will. But tomorrow be nice in the way and manner you speak to her. I can see she adores you so much and would be hurt if you do otherwise."
"Yes my love. I have noted all that you have said and would do so. Thanks."
"Any time, honey. Anytime."
"Now, shall make thus night a night to remember."
"Definitely and oh, be prepared too. I want to please you as well," Li Jing stylishly admitted her own desires but she could not look him the eye to say that.
"Wow. I can't wait. My shy wife, always shy. How would she please me being like this?"
"I can please you!" Li Jing snapped and looked at him challengingly.
"That's more like it." Without saying anything more, he held her face with his hands and pulled her closer for his domineering kiss.
He had planned it very well. He was not going to let her have this session with him in such shy state, so he dared her and like a lamb going for the slaughter, she fell into it and he caught that brave side of hers that made her look up, sealing it with a kiss.
"Hmmm…"
****
Just as planned, he got up the next morning, although pretty much tired from all the extra activities he had with his wife and made his way to his mother's room.
On getting there, he had barely lifted his hand to knock when the door pulled open with hois mother;s face staring riught back at him.
"Umm…"
For a brief second, no one smiled. No one spoke. They stood there staring at each othewer.
After abouit a minute plus, Yer Cheng blinked and dropped his hand by his side before greeting her.
"Good morning, mum."
"Morning," she responded.
"How was your night?"
"Okay. Thank you."
"Yes."
They stood there, still not saying anything useful to each other.
"Anyways, I am about to go get something to eat. If you do not have anything else to say, you may please exc…"
"I am sorry ma. I am so sorry," Ye Cheng pleaded.
Even though Li An did not want to see him and turned her face elsewhere, she could not deny the fact that she missed her son dearly and hated to see him sad.
They had always been close, the mother and son pair but now, she was losing him.
"Mum, I am sorry. I did not mean to yell at you yesterday. Please forgive your son, mum."
"I do not want to talk, Ye Cheng. I am not angry."
"You are. You call my full name when you are mad at me. I won't let you go unless you forgive me."
Just from hearing him say that, tears began to well up in her eyes but she did not want to look at him one bit.
He was her weakness and her strength. Seeing him feel sad was more than enough to break her heart so she refused to look at him and he knew it. Her lips quivered but she remained adamant.
"Mum. Please. It is your son. I am sorry, please do not be mad at me anymore. You cannot do this to me. We need to talk but first I need you to forgive me, please."
"Ye Cheng, I…"
"Mom, I know you. You cannot lie top me, nor deny it. Please, I am hurting too, you know. I hate fighting with you and I hate seeing you sad, so please."
Her heart broke when he said that. She knew he was being serious and not joking but the thought of everything and how easily he threw away his promise did break her even more.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore as he saw her tears threaten to spill and pulled her into his arms.
