Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 363 - Worth It

"Believe in love and love will make its way to your life." He could hear that distant but vivid voice.

"And what exactly is love?" He asked trying to look through the smog that had engulfed him.

"Some words are left unsaid

Some stories are not meant to unfold

Some lies are made to stay in wraps

But...

Love is not a word that needs to be told

It's not a story that needs to unfold

It's not a lie that we can enwrap

Love...

It's a feeling meant to be felt,

A story meant to be kept

And a truth that is meant to be perfect."

He could hear that voice but the person was still enshrouded in smog. He tried to lift his hand to touch only to be jolted awake.

"Ah-Jie! I've been trying to wake you up for an hour now." Calming his breath, Jie turned to look at Xu Mey pouting by his side.

"What's wrong, baby?" He asked as he touched her face gently and tenderly.

"Why are you sweating so much? Was it a bad dream?" Xu Mey instantly changed her words and started wiping the beads of his sweat with her sleeve.

Jie shook his head. "It wasn't a bad dream. It was... a distant memory. One that I had actually forgotten about." He might have not seen the face but he remembered that voice. It belonged to the person who taught him compa.s.sion and kindness. And now that he thought about it, he needed to talk to his father. To know the relations.h.i.+p between him and Ru. He had to ask his father.

"About what?" Xu Mey's voice broke his train of thoughts.

"Forget it. You tell me why did you wake me up?"

"Because I'm hungry." Xu Mey answered pursing her lips.

Jie chuckled softly and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Ice cream!" She answered instantly.

"There must be some in the kitchen."

"There is none."

"And how do you know that?"

"Because I ate it all." She said sheepishly. Apparently, the one growing in her loved ice cream. She had never eaten this much ice cream in her entire life before.

Jie pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows and looked at the time. "Baby, it's 3 a.m. Where will I find ice cream at this time? We came back to Star Metropolitan City a couple of days ago. It's not Imperial City that stays awake the whole night." Because of their individual work schedule, they both had come back to their own home.

"I want ice cream. I want ice cream. I WANT ICE CREAM!" Xu Mey whined repeatedly until he gave in.

"I would love to give you ice cream but where should I get it from?"

"My Sensei got me the ice cream exactly around this time. If he can then why can't you?" Xu Mey glared at Jie and puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"Your Sensei did what?" 'Ru'er! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you have to set the standards so d.a.m.n high?' Jie took deep breaths to calm himself before saying, "Let me change my clothes. Then I'll take you out to find your ice cream."

Xu Mey clapped her hands in happiness and tried to jump down the bed when Jie gave a stern look and said, "Can you please come down civilly?" Xu Mey nodded her head and slowly but carefully made her way to get the closet.

After fifteen minutes, both husband and wife were out the door on their drive to look for ice cream when the city was sleeping peacefully.

But even after driving through the whole city, they couldn't find a single place for ice cream. Yes, there were convenience stores but our Xu Mey was making a fuss about wanting chocolate chip cookie dough flavor.

"Baby, let's have ice cream tomorrow. Okay?"

Xu Mey made a crying face and started complaining. "How can you be so mean? Your this baby," pointing a finger at her own self. "And this baby," moving to point at her protruding belly. "Both want ice cream and you can't even do that? I can't sleep without it. I want it at any cost."

Rolling his eyes at her, Jie made a call.

Within ten minutes, they were inside an ice cream parlor which was specifically opened for them.

Walking inside, Jie thought, 'I never thought I'd use my name to open a d.a.m.n ice cream parlor one day.' He was amazed at himself. He hated using his name or influence to get anything done. According to him just because he had the power didn't mean he had to use it for his own good. If things could be achieved like any normal person then there was no need to display your authority.

But with Xu Mey's presence in his life, he had already broken a lot of his principles. This one was not a big deal either. This was the least he could do to bring a smile on her face.

And honestly, seeing the way she ate with content made all his thoughts vanish. "It was all worth it." He said to himself.

Xu Mey was certainly placated like a child after gobbling down ice cream. And even curled up to sleep like a kitten as soon as she sat in the car. Jie covered her with a blanket and said, "What will I do with you?"

But after a while, he smiled at himself and said, "And what will I do without you?"
