Chapter 62 - Meeting

"Oh that reminds me, I have something for you."

At her words, Ye Cheng's brows creased and his narrowed.

"Just wait for me. I would go and get it in a jiffy."

"Okay."

Having said that, Li Jing got up from her seat and made her way to the kitchen.

Minutes later she came back with a tray containing a glass of milk and a plate of cookies.

Ye Cheng raised his head and looked at her direction the moment the sweet aroma of the baked cookies entered his nostrils.

"Here you go," Li Jing said and placed the tray on the table.

"Thank you so much."

Dropping his phone on the couch, Ye Cheng scooter closer to the dessert set before him.

"Just a minute. Let me get you water to wash your hands," Li Jing said and turned around, ready to leave.

"Do not worry. I would go and wash up myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Relax."

"Okay."

Li Jing watched as he got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Not up to two minutes later, he was back and moved to his seat.

As he ate, he asked her to join in and after refusing his offer twice, the cold stare he gave her made her change her mind and she joined in.

They made small talks as he ate to pass the time.

He had already messaged Han Qing Qing the address of where they were have lunch and just decided to stay with Li Jing till then.

As much as it should not concern him with her affairs, he felt he needed to make it up to her in every way possible.

Soon it was lunch time and he had to leave.

"Are you still going to see your friend's grand mother today or you want it for tomorrow and rest today?"

"It is okay. I would go today. I already promised her I would come."

"Okay then. Get your stuffs and let's go. I would drop you off at the hospital and head to my destination.

"Oh, thank you so much."

"Anytime."

"I would be right back then."

Quickly, she raced to the room to have a quick shower and put on a fresh set of clothes then picked her bag and went out to meet him.

"Ready?"

"Yes."

Together they both left the condo unit and headed for the hospital.

In about forty-five minutes time, Ye Cheng arrived at the restaurant and met Han Qing Qing waiting for him.

He got to where she was seated and took the seat next to her.

"Good afternoon sir."

"Good afternoon."

Although his reply was simple but the way and manner in which he spoke showed his standing.

"What do you want to order?"

"Hmm I think I would take... "

Han Qing Qing placed a finger on her chin as she scanned through the menu in her hand.

"Waiter," Ye Cheng raised his hand and called out to a waiter passing by.

Immediately the male waiter arrived, Han Qing Qing placed her menu down and looked up at him.

"Good afternoon, ma'am, sir. Welcome. Please may I take your order?"

"Good afternoon."

"Please may I take down your order?" The waiter asked politely as a stunning smile marred his handsome face.

"Yes, give us your special, please."

"Okay sir. Two specials coming right up."

Without another word, the waiter nodded and walked away.

As he moved, Han Qing Qing's gaze followed the handsome young man and this simple gesture did not escape her boss' clever sharp eyes.

Ahem!!

Ye Cheng cleared his throat to get back her attention to the matter at hand.

"Hmm, are you done staring?"

"Sorry sir. I just..."

"You have a boyfriend, Qing Qing or do you still need me to remind you?"

"No, sir. I did not forget. I love my boyfriend very much. Well, I can admire someone. Besides, he looks charming," Han Qing Qing confessed to her boss.

"If you say so. Now, the files I requested?" Ye Cheng asked as he stretched his palm forward to collect the files.

Retrieving the documents from a file bag, she brought out a big envelope and passed it on to him.

"I tried to sum them up into something concise. Based on the tracking, I have been able to discern whose account the money has been going to."

As she explained, Ye Cheng took the time to check the files in his hand and started opening the documents to read through them.

"You made sure there was no other theft from the files you went through?"

"Yes, sir. I did them twice and there wasn't."

"Okay. I would cross check them all again to be sure we are not missing anything."

"Very well sir."

Ye Cheng lowered his gaze back to the documents and read the next file.

"I have tried getting to know who owns the account that the money is being sent to but it seems as though the person has a strong backing."

"Have you sent him the files to check the account for you?"

"No, but I doubt there would be much difference considering it seems closed and we do not want to disclose this to anyone just yet."

"I know. I would call someone to help. Just give me a minute," Ye Cheng said and brought out his phone to search out the contact.

"Okay sir." Han Qing Qing leaned back in het chair and resend her back as she awaited his call to go through.

At the same time, the waiter returned with their order.

"Sorry for the delay, ma'am, sir," the waiter apologized as he began to serve their meal.

"It's no worries. Thanks," Han Qing Qing said with a smile.

"Enjoy your meal then."

"Sure."

Ye Cheng carefully kept the files back one at a time so they could have enough space on the already crowded table of food.

Just as he was about to put the last file inside the envelop, his eyes caught sight of something and he paused.

Han Qing Qing who had been watching him arched a brow at him.

Ye Cheng neither moved nor said anything.

"Sir?"
