Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Xu Mey wanted to say something but upon thinking, she realized that she really couldn’t force love. It won’t be fair with him or Azalea. Later, she asked him to relate the whole thing in detail and like an obedient little brother, he did so.

She smacked his head making him scowl as she said, "Have you lost your mind? If you don’t want to accept her feelings that’s alright but who gave you the right to question her feelings for you?"

Xiamu rubbed his head while rolling his eyes at her sudden outburst. "If I didn’t question her, do you think she would have backed off?" Xu Mey opened her mouth to say something but he interjected her saying, "Besides, I didn’t belittle her feelings. I stated a fact and if she still keeps being stubborn, she’ll be belittling her own very self."

Xu Mey sat there in a daze for a while, not knowing how to continue on since this brother was equally persistent and stubborn like herself. One doesn’t need to think hard where they got their genes from.

"What if... This relationship could really have worked?" She toned down her temper just for his sake. She wanted him to calm down and think before making a decision. Because if there really was the tiniest bit of hope, she would certainly grasp it!

But Xiamu could understand her very well as he said, "Sis, do you know... I was four years old when Azalea was born... She was like a little living doll that was given to me and I did cherish her for that. But how can I forget that from the very first day, I was told that I’m like her older brother and I shouldn’t let anyone bully her? I can’t possibly forget that I doted on her with the thought that she was my precious little sister. I might not be sure about her feelings but I am sure about mine. I gave her the love that was supposed to be yours."

"Love can come when you least expect it to..." Xu Mey tried to persist but it seemed futile at this point since his expression told her clearly that he was telling the truth. His clear eyes mirrored his sincerity.

"I tried to reject her in the nicest way but I realized that she was taking my goodwill as my hesitation. I didn’t want her to spend another decade with useless hope and that’s why I had to jab her where it’d hurt her the most. My words were harsh, I agree... But I didn’t say anything that could go against my conscience." Xiamu’s words had left her in a dilemma. Was she really pushing her brother towards a dead-end? She didn’t want to. She just wanted to see him happy.

After a prolonged silence, she voiced out, "Is there really no chance?"

Seeing his sister’s earnest eyes, his heart wavered a little. He didn’t want to see her upset. However, was it fair to lie to his own heart? He didn’t think so!

"No." He replied in a resolute manner.

"You both are acting quite civilized," their father, Xu Cheng’s voice broke the weird atmosphere in the room. He saw the way they both had a somber look and a frown emerged between his brows. "Is something wrong?"

"Nope!"

"Not at all!"

Both twins spoke simultaneously yet again and threw a deadly glare to each other. It had been happening a lot lately. Although they seemed annoyed when the other one spoke at the same time, it still gave them a warm feeling. Blood is surely thicker than water but... Nothing could rival their unyielding twin-bond. Even years of separation couldn’t harm it.

Xu Cheng eyed their somber looks skeptically but didn’t say anything.

"Dad, I heard grandfather is coming," Xu Mey got excited talking about the elderly man she hadn’t seen in a while.

Xu Cheng sighed out saying, "Yes. It was his call just now. He’ll be here by tomorrow."

Xu Mey clapped her hands like a child and grinned brightly, "Great! Then I’m prolonging my stay here."

"Your husband might hunt us if you stayed longer," Xiamu reminded her as his possessive and over-protective brother-in-law’s face flashed through his mind.

"Don’t talk nonsense about my Ah-Jie." She immediately got defensive. "My Ah-Jie is the sweetest husband in the whole wide world."

Xiamu scoffed at her side saying, "He most definitely is the sweetest husband but sis... He certainly isn’t the sweetest person. He is a nice and just person but most certainly not sweet!"

Xu Mey didn’t want to agree with him or argue with him at all. "Look, dear brother, you can say whatever you want about me. But don’t spout rubbish about my husband. I won’t take it lying down!"

Seeing her eyes narrowed into slits, he gulped as he muttered to himself, ’No wonder they are a loving couple. Both have the same personality.’

"I won’t even dare." He solemnly swore and even raised his three fingers to show his sincerity.
