Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 225 - Burn Each Other With Words

Ye Jun's goofy and carefree laughter seized when Ye Jie walked away. He silently went to Jun Li Na's side with a complicated look on his face.

"So it's really not a coincidence that Azalea's father looks similar to Ye Jie, right?" Jun Li Na voiced out softly, looking into Ye Jun's dark black eyes.

He gazed into her eyes and replied, "It doesn't seem to be."

Jun Li Na stared at his face for a long while in silence before extending her hand to hold his. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Ye Jun was stunned not just by her words but also because of the hand that now laid over his own. It felt so natural that Ye Jun couldn't help the smile to return on his face.

"I think I'll be fine." He answered her question with boyish charms.

"Are you trying to be strong or are you strong?" Jun Li Na asked quirking her brows at him inquiringly.

"Neither." She furrowed her brows, not believing him at all. "But this touch is surely making me feel stronger." Jun Li Na immediately tried to retrieve her hand away from his hand but he held it. "Let it stay. I still need more strength." He made a pitiful face making it impossible for her to say no. After a while, her hand on his relaxed.

"You're really a flower boy," Jun Li Na remarked wistfully.

"I was one until I finally found a flower... You." Ye Jun replied plainly.

"Don't make me want to dream again. It's painful when that dream breaks. Let me just go." She said avoiding his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with so many feelings that overwhelmed her.

"Dreams doesn't make us cry. Only nightmares do." He held her shoulders making her look at him, "As for letting you go, I can't do that." Jun Li Na was stunned at his blunt speech. "I barely managed to catch you."

"Jun, you really can't like me." her voice was feeble as she spoke.

"But dear Li Na, I don't like you. I already am in love with you." Jun Li Na stood with her wide eyes looking back at him as he went on, "I tried not to. I tried so hard. But my own efforts turned so fruitless that even I was angered by it. But now, that I've finally caught you, I'm not planning on letting you run away ever again."

He took a pause before caressing her cheek as he said, "Also like every flower needs rain to grow, you also needed this storm in your life to help you not just grow but also flourish. And we just pulled that weed like Lu Ge from your side, now this flower will only bloom to its prime." Jun Li Na chuckled lightly at his words taking him by surprise. It's been days, he hadn't seen her smiling at all. He felt really at ease seeing her smiling like this.

"You know flowers also wither away." Jun Li Na reminded him with a sad smile.

"Aiyo! So what? I'm right here to make sure that this flower doesn't even get a chance to wither away." Ye Jun answered cheekily.

They say love is a poison and yet we drink it without thinking twice. Ye Jun only wanted to love her and it was the first time in his life when he wasn't expecting anything in return, not even the same feelings. He had seen her fall apart right before his eyes and the feeling was not pleasant at all. Now, he only wanted her to stand back up taller than before and stronger than ever.

"Ah-Jie, what did you wish for?" Xu Mey asked Ye Jie when he came by her side and hugged her from behind without any care for all the people around him.

"Hmm... I wished for nothing." Ye Jie replied making Xu Mey knit her brows.

"Why not?"

"Because I have my wish right in my arms," he whispered close to her ear making her blush profusely.

"Cheeky are we now?" she teased.

"Cheeky? Baby, do you think I'm kidding? How can you even think like that about your Ah-Jie? That's so unfair with me." Ye Jie felt like he was wronged.

Xu Mey planted a kiss right on the side of his jawline and whispered, "Stop being adorable. It's not healthy for me."

"Not healthy? How?" Ye Jie asked innocently.

"Well... I might want to pounce on your adorable self right here," Ye Jie choked on air hearing her words.

"I suddenly love this phrase." He said after his coughing fit ended.

"Which one?"

"Pouncing on me." Xu Mey's cheeks grew beet red as she punched his arms around her waist.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!" A dry coughing sound made both Xu Mey and Ye Jie get out of their own world and look at the group of people staring at them.

"How about keeping this PDA to a minimum?" Wu w.a.n.g suggested with a smile which was really not a smile.

"How minimum?" Xu Mey asked amusingly.

Wu w.a.n.g smiled radiantly before his face turned all serious. "Minimum as in NDIAA."

"What's NDIAA?" Xu Mey wasn't the only one curious. Everyone had the same look as her.

"NDIAA means... NOT DO IT AT ALL!!!" Wu w.a.n.g spat out and glared at her making everyone laugh out loud.

"w.a.n.g-Ge, why are you eating vinegar? Go and get a girlfriend for yourself," Xu Mey suggested not paying any heed towards his glare.

Wu w.a.n.g fell silent for a while and everyone around him noticed this particular change. "I think I'm doing just fine without one." His eyes darted surrept.i.tiously towards Zhou Qi chatting away with someone.

"Woah! Abstinence is really not your thing, w.a.n.g." Li Qiao voiced out making Wu w.a.n.g shake his head.

"Right! I forgot it's your strong suit," Wu w.a.n.g mocked Li Qiao with his smirk. Most of them got that Wu w.a.n.g's suggestiveness was towards how Li Qiao had managed to restrain himself from proposing Yu Kim even after all these years. The only lost person was Azalea who kept trying to figure out the meaning behind his words.

"They really know how to burn each other with words," Xu Mey grumbled to herself with disappointment.
