CHAPTER 183

Unfortunately, they were not under the mistletoe but he kissed her anyway and Li Jing returned bit with every of her being.

None of them knew what this meant for them. Regardless, this was a case of living in the moment and letting tomorrow worry about itself.

"Ahh!!"

Li Jing broke the kiss herself with the more fireworks shot into the sky and let herself fall back but Ye Cheng's strong arms held her waist firmly, letting her half bend while she spread both hands to the side like a playful child.

"Haha haha Merry Christmas!" Li Jing yelled, ignoring if anyone's ear drum got blocked, particularly her naughty CEO's.

To her, it was the best Christmas ever and one she would continue to cherish for the rest of her life.

After some time passed, Ye Cheng pulled her up so she could look into his eyes. "Ready for an all night fun time?"

Her joy could not let her answer and her smile widened as she nodded her head in response. "Great then. Let me spoil you tonight."

"Okay." Without wasting any more time, he pulled her with him and went to his car and opened the door for her to go in before he also went to his driver's seat and started the car.

"Ready?"

"Very!"

"We are going for a ride… Fasten your seat belt Li Jing, this is going to be the best night of your life."

She giggled at his words and nodded for him to go ahead. Hearing her soft voice was like beautiful Christmas melodies in his ears and it further brightened his smile.

***

That night was one of the best nights Li Jing had ever had. They went to different places, played different games, listened to the choir sing Christmas carols and everyone be merry.

Hours later, Ye Cheng brought Li Jing to his house and she met the butler and maids. They were all in happy Christmas spirit and full of cheers.

She ate and played with everyone. To Ye Cheng that was one of the best times of his life as well as he got to spend the night with Li Jing and watch her smile endlessly.

What more could he have asked for?

By the time she was to return home, Ye Cheng did not want to allow her as there numerous rooms in the house and she could use any of her choice, but Li Jing still preferred to go home.

It was already 5 am in the morning and she was getting tired but she always had a tradition of spending Christmas at home, so she needed to go back.

"Fine, since I cannot convince you to spend Christmas here with me, I would drop you off and come visiting, later."

"I would like that. Also, I would use this opportunity to make you your dinner. Specially for you and no one else."

Ye Cheng's eyes widened at her words. He never thought the day could get any better but it did. "Wow!" Li Jing exclaimed but was careful so that his maids wouldn't hear her. "The almighty CEO is speechless. I think that is a plus for me for making you speechless on Christmas."

"Lucky you then,: Ye Cheng responded to her statement with a smile. "Come, I would drop you off."

By now they were standing close to the door and discussing but the giggles coming from the maids never stopped even for once. Of course, Ye Cheng and Li Jing knew that something was fishy but they ignored them.

It was not until, the head butler came and spoke to them that they understood what was going on.

"Ahem!"Both of them turned their heads to face him.

"Yes?" Ye Cheng asked. It was written all over his face that his head butler was disturbing him and he should state what he wanted to say quick.

"Master, well it is a tradition for those standing under the mistletoe to kiss," the head butler said and cleared his throat quickly while averting his gaze away from them.

Both Li Jing and Ye Cheng as if on cue, looked up and saw the mistletoe hanging from where they stood and smiled. Li Jing who clearly understood what they meant, lowered her head as a faint blush crept up her cheeks.

This was mega embarrassing.

"The maids are all giddy to watch it happen as it would bring good luck to those who do and you two are the first persons to stand under the mistletoe," the head butler added but when he did not get any reply from either of them, he smiled to himself.

For him, this was the first time in a long while, that he saw the young master truly happy and they decided to bring the mistletoe kiss up to him.

On ma normal Christmas, they would not have dared decided to say that to him but this Christmas was different and everything with it.

"According to the tradition, it's bad luck to refuse a kiss beneath the mistletoe. Any couple caught standing underneath the mistletoe should prepare to pucker up. After the kiss, the couple is to pluck one of the berries from the plant. Once all the berries are gone, the bough no longer has the power to command kisses."

Ye Cheng could see that Li Jing was all flushed now and that had only made him want to try out this mistletoe kiss that they spoke off.

He loved watching her being shy as she had a certain charm round about herself at that moment and it made one just want to stare at her forever.

"But of course, if Young Master wishes not to along with young miss, then we can make an exception," the head butler chipped in again.

"No. I t is fine. We would do it. No one wanted bad luck into the new year right? We got this, right Li Jing?"

He just had to ask her that when he knew her predicament. Li Jing felt like nudging him hard in the gut till his eyes became fully red.
