Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 166 - Special Relationship

"Baby, get ready. I'll drop you to the office," Ye Jie spoke after the breakfast but Xu Mey didn't budge an inch.

"Ah Jie, I'm not going to the office today," she retorted indifferently while clearing up the table.

"Why? Are you sick?" Ye Jie came up to her and extended his hand to examine her temperature but Xu Mey knocked his hand away stating,

"I'm absolutely fine." She even whirled to show him that she's really fine and went on, "I'm just going to stay with Azalea. We can't leave her alone at home now, can we? She's still not healthy. She needs company."

Ye Jie pondered for a moment and questioned, "Don't you have important projects going on in the company?"

Xu Mey relinquished a peek to Ye Jie that stated, 'Are you kidding me?' and spoke, "I'm not paying my employees to leisure around all the time. They can handle. And if they can't then they really need to be fired from work."

Ye Jie narrowed his eyes and pondered about how contradicting her own statements are. She didn't even want to take a day off when her own ankle was hurt but now that she wants to accompany Azalea, she has all the time in the world. So, obliquely, she was saying that she didn't have time to waste with him but she has all the time for his sister. How astonis.h.i.+ng? Not!

With a sigh, he shook his head lightly and said, "Fine then I'm leaving."

"Okay, bye!" She waved with a smiling face making him scowl.

Ye Jie turned to Azalea saying, "Bye, Zelie! I'll see you in the evening." Azalea nodded while Ye Jie held Xu Mey's wrist and said through gritted teeth, "And you come to see me off for a minute."

Xu Mey scowled but before she could open her mouth, she was dragged by Ye Jie towards the door. He pushed her against the wall and stood facing her.

"Why do I feel-" Xu Mey's words were swallowed back when Ye Jie dipped his head to catch her cherry blossom-like lips between his.

The sudden kiss made Xu Mey's eyes widen a bit but she soon relaxed with his hands around her waist. The moment she closed her eyes to drown in the sweetness of his lips, Ye Jie bit her bottom lip with a little force and pulled away.

"Ouch!" Xu Mey rubbed her lip while scowling at Ye Jie. "What was that for?" She snapped.

"That was to remind you that I'm your husband. How can you give importance to my sister over me?"

"Are you jealous of your own sister now?" She really couldn't discern the reason for his weird actions.

"I'm not jealous of Azalea. I'm mad at you." He lightly tapped her forehead and said, "I had to drag you here for the kiss otherwise you just shooed me away with that wave and 'bye'."

"Oh!" Now Xu Mey realized that she was supposed to see him off as a wife would do. She felt a bit guilty seeing the way he was fuming. "Ah Jie!" she called him in the sweetest voice she could muster at the moment and made puppy dog eyes. "It hurts," she pointed at her lip where he bit earlier.

That seemed to work since Ye Jie instantly palmed her face and worriedly looked at her, "Did I bite that badly?" Although he was sure that; he only bit in a teasing manner but since she said that it hurt, there was no way Ye Jie would bear to say that she was lying to him. "I'm really sorry, baby. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Xu Mey gave an empathic look and said, "It's okay. I was in the wrong as well."

After a bit of coaxing Ye Jie left for the office and before she could smile in victory, Xu Mey heard Azalea's voice, "You really have my brother tangled up around your fingers, huh?"

Xu Mey guiltily tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear and gave a dry laugh saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The best way to get out of trouble is simply to deny that you even did anything wrong in the first place. And that was exactly what Xu Mey was doing with Azalea.

But Azalea was young, not stupid. "Of course, you know what I'm talking about but if you want to deny then that's up to you. But I really like your relations.h.i.+p with Jie-Ge."

Xu Mey pursed her lips and asked, "What do you like about our relations.h.i.+p?"

Azalea chuckled and replied, "I love the fact that my brother knew that you were lying and yet he was willing to believe you. I also love that even you knew that he'll know your lie but he won't mind you lying." After a pause, she remarked, "You both have a very special kind of relations.h.i.+p."

Xu Mey couldn't think of a reason to disagree with her words. Even she herself was beginning to believe that they really had a very special kind of relations.h.i.+p now.

For some reason whenever she was with Ye Jie, Xu Mey didn't care about all the people who have hurt her or made her cry all this while. With him, the only thing that mattered was that he was the reason; she was smiling brightly again.

A smile that she believed to be lost forever was caught by him and it made her feel alive again. The more attached she was becoming to Ye Jie, the more her fear was gnawing at her heart. The fear of; what if?

And someone said that the fear of 'what if?' was the worst of all.

Her thoughts were broken when she heard the doorbell. Xu Mey directed to open the door and saw her in a yellow dress standing there with a small smile on her face and eyes stuck on Xu Mey.

"Hi!" Xu Mey heard her very soft breathy voice which made Xu Mey scowl.

"Bye!" With that, Xu Mey banged the door at her face making a 'thud' reverberate.
