CHAPTER 24

Like every other morning, Li Jing woke and began to take care of the house. She vacuumed, did the dishes and prepared breakfast as usual.

She was already used to doing these things back at home even though there were maids in the house. Ding Jiaying would make her clean and tidy up and sometimes cook while telling her that she was just privilege to be called by their surname and she wasn't different from the maids there.

Although growing up was hard for her, she managed and right now she was used to it and it helped her a whole lot.

It was the normal things she did before going to the office at her father's company. Forgetting she was no longer welcomed in the family, Li Jing the early bird went about her duties and too her bath.

After that, she proceeded to knock on the door of the master's bedroom where Ye Cheng slept in.

"Hello!" her small cute voice called out not too loudly. "Hey, are you up?" she called again but did not get any answer like the last time.

"Hey, I need to clean and you need to take your bath so I can change your bandages," she informed him but still got no answer.

"Pff," she blew her hair that fell over her face, covering her eyes, away. "I am coming in." She announced once more and turned on the door knob.

As soon as she exerted force to push it open, the door opened, almost causing her to topple over as she was not prepared that he would open the door at that moment.

Fortunately, he was there to act as a support for her as she fell with her face on his chest. He quickly caught hold of her arms and held her in place.

By the time he was sure she was alright and would be able to stand on her own, he steadied her, pulling her from him by her shoulders.

Li Jing who was struck dumb by the sudden turn of events didn't know when her cheeks began to turn red and feel hot.

'Oh my God! Those strong hands and chiseled chest awwnn…' she trailed off in her thoughts at the lingering feel of his body on her face and his hands on her shoulders.

Unknown to her she was drooling as her eyes fluttered dreamily with every second that passed.

She couldn't stop herself from acting so stupid in front of him. Left for her, this god-like being just held her. Somehow the thought of him holding her made her mind to drift back to when he pulled her down on him and hugged her tightly against his chest.

"Are you done?"

Ding!

Like a bell that rang, his cold voice broke her from her reverie, bringing her to the present with him.

"Uh-uh... ahemm!" She cleared her throat before looking at his face. "Good morning." she greeted him with her charming smile, hoping to erase what just happened from his memory with her smile.

"Good morning." He replied her calmly while holding her gaze.

"I need to clean up. I would just get your blanket and stuffs and wash, while you get changed and go bath." As she spoke, Ye Cheng arched his brow at her.

'And stuffs? Why can't I trust her to leave me with clothes to put on?' Ye Cheng thought, a playful smirked appeared on his perfect god-like face.

"I have already had my bath while you were sleeping." He informed her with his playful smirk now gone and total taken over by his cold look.

'This man, was he thinking I would snatch his clothes again? Pff, he wishes.'

"Okay, that's good then. Can I come in? "She asked. Her gaze left his and flew to the room behind him.

"Sure," Ye Cheng replied her, before stepping to the side to let her gain entrance into her room.

Fortunately, the room was already arranged before she got there. She made a mental note of how he arranged everything, before moving up to removing his sheets and replacing them.

By the time she was done, her eye swept around the room one more time, takin in its new look and a small smile crept up her lips.

'He is neat. Perfect. As a reward I would get him a new set of clothes to change into.' Li Jing thought. She felt so accomplished with her thoughts until her eyes caught sight of a sparkling object to the corner of the room, sitting atop the reading table. 'Just wait and see… I would shock you.'

Grandma Jiaye was a lady who loved to read, she had several books on her shelf and would often seat there at noon when she was around and read.

The shining object was none other than her laptop. It looked neatly arrange and set on the free space of the table, waiting for its owner to come and admire it.

Quickly, she shook her head lightly, trying to get back to the present and leave her train of thoughts. She patted on the bed, a signal for him to take his place on the bed and be ready for the treatment.

"Come sit, there's no time."
