CHAPTER 125

At the mention of his name, Luo Jinhai peeled his gaze from whatever he was staring at and looked at his friend.

"Jun Tai Hua!"

"Yes, Luo Jinhai, what is the matter? Why do you look so dull and gloomy all of a sudden?"

Luo Jinhai shook his head for some time before opening his mouth to speak. "Do you not recognize who this is?"

"No, am I to know her?"

"Yes. Take a closer look at the picture. Look closely at that innocent face over there. Who does she remind you of?"

Jun Tai Hua looked at his phone screen closely and zoomed in, mirroring Luo Jinhai's earlier movements.

Seconds later, his eyes lit up and he turned his head to look at his friend. "Wait, do not tell me she is who I am thinking she is."

The sour look on his friend's face told him everything without him needing to say anything. "Yes."

"You are telling me that this girl beside Ye Cheng is Li Jing?"

"Of course." Just from hearing the name 'Ye Cheng,' Luo Jinhai's face became even more troubled like a child who was about to cry.

His mind was already telling him how much he had lost her for the second time and that had hurt him deeply.

"Hey, no wonder I said she looked familiar but I could not put my fingers to where I knew her from."

"The problem now, is why she is with Ye Cheng?"

"Man, I cannot say but if the reports are true which I think they are considering it was taken down and that could only mean two things. One was that it was a fake report about the things said and the other would be that they are very true and something secret might be going on."

What Jun Tai Hua did not know was that his theory was not helping Luo Jinhai at all.

"I do not understand, are you saying this to give me a heart attack or what?" Luo Jinhai questioned his friend while shooting him a cold glare.

"Hey ma, calm down. I am just saying putting the truth or what might be in your front. You pick what you want and choose what you would do with that news."

"But is the meaning of this? She never mentioned meeting Ye Cheng? Besides, I have just been gone for a week and all these are happening? What more have I missed?"

"I don't know, don't ask me. It is not that I am close to Li Jing to actually know about her personal life. If there is anything you should know but since you look like who disappeared from Earth, then ask any of her friends."

"You have a point. There is someone I can ask." Luo Jinhai said thoughtfully.

"Cool then. Why not find out before you already feel heartbroken. Besides, the reporter, Ying Yue only stated that she was his financial manager."

"What!"

"You never heard the news? How come? You travelled and it feels like you are no longer in this century."

Jun Tai Hua was very much perplexed at his friend right then.

"Hey, you cannot blame me. There were some minor problems at the other branch. I needed to go and set things straight and do a thorough check of things there to prevent something of that sort from happening again. I was very busy."

"Great, while you were busy, your babe was been chased by other guys that were less busy." As he spoke, Jun Tai Hua raised his hands and used his fingers to show quote. "I hope you are happy."

"Do not be like this, Tai Hua."

"Hey, I am only being realistic, man. You should check up on her more, buy her gifts and go on more dates with her. Let her see that you are interested in her."

"But I do not want to ruin our friendship because of a relationship."

"You chose. You try and get rejected or you do not try and do not even get a chance at being accepted. Worst comes to, she would still keep your friendship. But give it a try and chase after her."

"I want to chase after her."

"Good. That is a start. Besides, she is just his financial manager. There might really be nothing going on between them, but giving who Ye Cheng his, all the ladies want him. You should have seen the chaos this post had caused."

Luo Jinhai lowered his gaze as he felt a sense of regret wash over him. "You do not understand. I was going to offer her a job at my company since she was sacked by her sister."

"Wow! Just wow, Luo Jinhai. What were you thinking? How can you delay such a thing? You knew she needed it and you did not offer?"

"I was waiting for the right time and opportunity. Li Jing was going through a lot then."

"And that was why you were supposed to be her pillar. Oh my God! Are you sure you are my friend?"

Luo Jinhai who was still down shot his friend another cold glare. "You are not helping Tai Hua."

"You are not acting like my friend. Go for what you want. Look at me, I do not sit and wait for another guy to offer my woman a job while I had the chance to do so. It would surprise you how you would lose her if you do not buckle up."

"Fine. I would. I won't lose her again."

"I am here to support you. Do not take this the wrong way but you would have to try harder. Ye Cheng already has her close to him daily. Your competition is going to be strong."

"I have heard. Can we please go get a drink or something? I am not feeling myself right now. I need to calm down and distract myself."

"Stupid boy. Can you hear yourself?"

Luo Jinhai frowned at Jun Tai Hua. The insults were becoming too much. "What is the problem now?"
