Chapter 460 - Surprise: One Month Anniversary 2

CHAPTER 459

By the time they closed, all Ye Cheng could do was to call Li Jing that he needed to rush for a business meeting and would not be able to accompany her.

"My love, I am so sorry but I needed to leave on time. It was urgent," Ye Cheng pleaded.

"But I really miss you. You have not been answering my call all day. At least you should have texted me. I was worried."

"I am sorry, baby. I promise I would make it up to you."

"Thanks. No problem. I…"

"Li Jing I am sorry, the meeting is starting now. Please I would ask them to take you home, alright. Please go home straight and relax. In fact, cook your boo something special and I would pamper you on my return. I miss your cooking."

"Okay, I will."

"Thanks, my love." As soon as he said that, the call ended.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Hey wait, I…" she stopped talking and pulled the phone from her ear. She wasn"t feeling happy at all.

"Why did he cut the call? I was just about to ask why he didn"t send someone to represent him? Didn"t he say I could always have him with me?" she thought within her.

Li Jing sulked before packing her bags and getting ready to leave the office.

"Sigh! Li Jing get yourself back. He also has work to do, besides, you would have him to yourself this night. Hehe, I would cook him a nice delicacy. I better go home and prepare."

Finding something to hold on to, she smiled and hurried out of the office.

The earlier she cooked, Li Jing thought, the quicker she might get to see him.

***

Keeping his phone in his pocket, Ye Cheng turned around and said, "She is coming, get ready."

"Yes sir." Turning around, he looked at everyone sternly. "The young miss would soon arrive. Everyone stays in place."

About twenty minutes later, they heard the sound of a car entering the residence and blowing its horn as a signal for her arrival.

Immediately, the lights were turned off where they waited for her.

Li Jing being oblivious to all that was prepared for her, came down from the care elegantly and took her steps carefully as she made her way into the house.

The second she opened the door, she saw a note on the wall and walked up to it.

"Take your left," Li Jing readout. "Hmm, what is going on?" Thinking they left some instructions for her because of G.o.d knows what, she followed the direction.

Soon she came to the second living room but she saw n.o.body and looked around.

That was unusual. Normally when she arrived, she usually saw at least a maid or two, waiting to receive her and help her with her bag but today none.

Not even in the living room. Where were they? "h.e.l.lo? Where is everybody?" She asked herself as her gaze swept through the living room.

Taking the initiative, she decided to look for them. Was it that they got busy with something outside in the backyard or something?

Moving further into the house, she pa.s.sed the kitchen but saw no one and went back to check the side balcony.

Immediately she stepped foot past the gla.s.s door leading to the balcony, she heard a loud shout!

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"

Li Jing"s eyes widened with such. She was least expecting anything like that. She looked at everyone with mouth opened down as she gazed at them with unbelieving eyes.

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!" They yelled again, causing her to break out a burst of small laughter at their gesture.

"Congratulations!"

Several laughter and cheers were heard as balloons from different angles began to burst in celebration.

In everything, Li Jing was happy but she searched through the crowd for one person. That one person who would make this whole surprise the bomb and found him not.

"Where is he?" Li Jing questioned in her mind.

No sooner had she done that, than she got another shock.

POOOOOOOOHHH!

A loud trumpet resounded close to her, shocking her out of her wits. Swiftly she turned around swiftly to look at who did and found Yi w.a.n.g Lei playing the trumpet for her.

She smiled at him, listening with full attention to the lovely happy birthday song he sang for her and when he was done, Li Jing moved close to him with smiles all over her face.

"w.a.n.g Lei," Li Jing called out his name softly. She could barely believe that this was happening but she recalled something important.

"Where is Ye Cheng? Why aren"t you with him for the meeting?"

"Because my dear, Li Jing. I am here for your anniversary party, silly."

"But why isn"t he…"

"It was a really important meeting. He wanted me to go on first and keep you company before he rushes to round this off and come here."

Letting out an exasperated sigh, Li Jing nodded at him and muttered something to herself and then smiled.

"Hey, what did you say, Jing? That"s not fair."

"Fair? Fair is him being here. There is no anniversary without him. I miss him and I want him to be here with me."

"Relax, Li Jing." She furrowed her brows when she heard that familiar voice. Turning around, she came face to face with…

"Yin Lifen!"

"Hey, babe. Happy anniversary. You didn"t think I would miss it now, did you?"

Indeed she had thought so when she did not see her friend but now she knew better. "I"m sorry, Fen Fen."

She smiled a bit and took a step closer to hug her best friend. "Don"t cry, darling."

"But I miss him and want him here. Isn"t our marriage as important?"

"It is and that is why, he prepared for you, this anniversary gift."

"He did?"

"Yes. Go through that door and back into the house to receive your anniversary package."

"Hope you ain"t covering up for him or…"

"Get going already you doubting…"

"Don"t you dare say it, Fen Fen. It is my anniversary after all. And you forgot about it. Face it, baby, you lose. Now, go get your hubby"s gift. I bet everyone is dying to see what it is."

Her face lit up almost instantly and she appreciated her friend. "Thanks."

"Anytime dear."

Following through to where Fen Fen directed her, she came upon the big living room again. Fortunately for her, she saw another sign. "Walk straight ahead and take your right. Take your right?" Li Jing questioned. But when she did not get an answer she carried on, on her own.

She was getting confused. Where was she going to? "What trick is going on here?"

Finding this funny and interesting, she followed the direction until she saw another note.

"Keep walking ahead. Just a little bit more, love."

When she read this next inscription, she smiled and eagerly walked towards the direction she was asked to go see what waited for her.

The next thing she knew, she came in front of a door and smiled when she saw the lovely red ribbon design on the door with another inscription… "My love, my heart."

Without wasting another second, Li Jing turned the door k.n.o.b and pushed the door open. Behold what stood before her, was what she never had expected.

"OH MY G.o.d!"
