CHAPTER 172

"Ye Cheng!"

"Do not play that card with me." Ye Cheng's smiling face dropped as he brought his eyes back to linger on Li Jing.

He had clearly told her not to invite any of the guys she mentioned to him to come but she did.

"Is this all or should I be expecting more?" He threw the question at Li Jing without a second thought.

One couldn't blame him as he was expecting this to be a time alone with her. He was hoping to bond well with her and get to know her better but she went ahead to test his patience and invited his friend.

"I do not understand." He could see her confusion laced on a full scale in her eyes but it did not change how he felt.

"I told you not to invite them. This was my thank-you dinner, Li Jing. Why is he here? Is that how little I mean to you?" Ye Cheng asked her. He clearly ignored the fact that his friend was present.
