Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

The person Xu Mey venerated the most in this world, once adviced her. "Love the one who trusts you. Not the one who wants to trust you."

"Is there a difference, Sensei?" She asked back then.

"There is a huge difference, Mey Ai. The one who trusts you, won’t ask for a reason and the one who wants to trust you, will always look for reasons."

From the time, Ye Jie helped her sit in the car, she’s been pondering about his utterance. He just believed her. Why? Am I that good at theatrics? And why does he look so troubled? And where are we going?

Xu Mey sniffled. "Where are we going?"

Ye Jie didn’t reply to her. But she got her answer in 10 minutes when the car parked in front of the hospital.

"Why are we here?" It was illogical to come to the hospital, right?

"You’re hurt. We need to see a doctor." He replied with his hands clutching the steering wheel so tightly that it turned white.

"Hurt?" She furrowed her brows.

Ye Jie didn’t look at her. "There is blood on your neck." He replied in a choked up voice. Xu Mey touched her neck and realized there was indeed blood. But it was dry already. "And your whole face is bright red." He continued hastily.

"Mr. Ye!" Xu Mey called out his name calmly in her soft voice but Ye Jie didn’t stop.

"This is all my fault. I knew you didn’t like Xu Liqing and Fu Lan. But I still took you there." Ye Jie was regretful.

"Mr. Ye Jie!" She called again. A little louder than before but it was like Ye Jie was in his own guilty conscience world.

"I’m not gonna let her be. I’m gonna ruin both-" Before he could finish his resolution, Xu Mey’s angry voice startled him.

"Ye Jie!" He turned to look at her glaring at him. "I’m fine. She didn’t hit me. I was acting." Ye Jie didn’t seem to believe her words. His eyes fell on the blood on the side of her neck. Xu Mey noticing his gaze replied, "I scratched myself."

Ye Jie stayed quiet for a long while. Before the silence thickened, he asked, "Why?"

Understanding his question clearly Xu Mey replied, "I did it because of you." Ye Jie was flabbergasted. "If only Fu Lan and my father had been there, I wouldn’t have done anything like that. it wouldn’t matter. Because they will always take Liqing’s side. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. For them, Liqing is always right." Ye Jie was listening with the utmost attention. "I wanted to see what would you do in that situation. That’s why I orchestrated the whole act."

Ye Jie’s eyes were trained outside the windshield as he let those words sink in his mind. All of a sudden, he opened the door and walked out. Xu Mey saw him walking around the car and coming to open her side’s door. He held her wrist and pulled her out making her crash into his broad chest.

Xu Mey’s body stiffened. But his warm body and his peculiar scent calmed her nerves and she slowly relaxed in his embrace. When we are tired, we look for our safe haven. At that moment in his embrace, Xu Mey felt like coming back home. Like she found her safe haven. She could feel the way Ye Jie’s tensed body relaxed when he hugged her. But she didn’t know why he was so tensed?

Ye Jie placed his chin on her head as he stroked her hair slowly. "Give me a heads up next time." Xu Mey tilted her head to look at his anxious face. "Please, don’t scare me like that again. Okay?" Seeing his agog gaze, Xu My nodded instinctively.

"You believed me? Just like that? Why? I thought you were a rational person. You should have seen through my act." When she asked these questions, she didn’t know what answer she was expecting but the answer she received was something that never crossed her mind.

"Because you make me lose my rationality. When I saw you on the floor, I forgot that I was supposed to be a rational person." Ye Jie’s tone was so tender that Xu Mey even forgot to breathe. Looking at her adorable face swelling up, Ye Jie went in another fit of anxiousness. "Why are you swelling up? And why is your face so bright red like a ripe tomato?"

Xu Mey touched her face and realized that it was indeed swelled up. "Is it really bad?"

"No... It’s so adorable that I want to eat it." The hint of a smile on his face was combined with his coquettish tone. Xu Mey dry coughed to lose her embarrassment.

"You really are a smooth talker." Xu Mey commented under her breath but Ye Jie heard it.

"Thanks for the compliment dear wife but for now, just tell me why is your face like this?"

Xu Mey sighed animatedly. "Do you think my dear step-mother is so loving that she’ll feed me with her own hands?" She scoffed. "She was aware that I’m allergic to pineapples. She intentionally fed me that pineapple cake."

After listening up to this point, Ye Jie held her wrist again and pulled her towards the hospital. "I have my allergy medicine at home. I don’t need to go to the hospital." Xu Mey tried to reason with Ye Jie but it didn’t work.

"Since we are already here. Let’s just go in to see if anything else is wrong." Ye Jie had to drag Xu Mey inside the E.R.

Looking around Xu Mey grumbled. "We could have just gone to see a doctor. Isn’t coming to E.R. for allergy a bit excessive."

"Stay quiet." Ye Jie turned to look at her sternly. Then he turned to the nurse who was asking, "What’s the patient’s name?"

"My dear wife!" When the nurse arched her brows, Ye Jie bit his own tongue as he realized his mistake. "Xu Mey... Her name is Xu Mey." He corrected himself.

"You are?" Before he could reply, the nurse answered her own question. "Obviously her husband."

While Ye Jie answered all the questions, Xu Mey was gazing at the back of Ye Jie’s head intently. Trying to figure out the person standing before her. All she knew about him through her networks seemed like a lie all of sudden.

What are you Mr. Rain? Or should I ask, who are you?
