12.95% Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty / Chapter 55: She Knows How To Find Her Way In My Heart

Kapitel 55: She Knows How To Find Her Way In My Heart

There is a saying, "Let life surprise you."

Nah!

It's actually not the life that surprises you. It's the person you made your life that surprises you. So, let's change the phrase a bit: "Let the one you call life surprise you."

Just let that someone take the reins and let him blow your damn mind. It doesn't hurt to be surprised once in a while.

Xu Mey propped her chin on her palm as her clear black orbs stared at the man sitting before her. Xu Mey was rather used to shocks than surprises. Therefore, she was a bit confused about whether Ye Jie was a shock in her life or a surprise.

Life catches us as a surprise. But in my case, you're hell-bent on catching me by surprise. Why are you doing this? Isn't my life messy enough? You're scaring me even more now. What if you suddenly decided to drop me? With these thoughts going wild in her mind, Xu Mey still held an indifferent look.

It was the second time in Xu Mey's life when she wished to have superpowers to read someone's mind. She really wished to open Ye Jie's mind to see what tactic was he trying.

There wasn't much said after that and they both ate the meal in an unsaid harmony. Either there was nothing to talk about or they both had no courage to say was another mystery. They both left the restaurant under the gazes of people around after eating.

Xu Mey had been an observant person for all her life. She was a bit sensitive to change. With her observant nature, Xu Mey realized that this week, Ye Jie had a consistency. He never called her by her name instead chose to use my dear wife every single time. He always was the first one to greet her in the morning and without kissing the top of her head, he never left for office.

Even if this was a small change, it was a change for her.

-Friday, Lotus Entertainments Head Office at lunch hour-

Li Qiao was having a discussion with some new directors in his company when there was a knock on the door. Yu Kim opened the door slightly and said, "Sorry to disturb you, Sir. Mr. Ye is here to see you."

Li Qiao frowned. "Mr. Ye?"

"Mr. Ye Jie. Xu-" Before she could complete, Li Qiao interrupted her.

"Send him in." Then he turned to the people around him. "We'll continue after some time." He was perplexed but he couldn't just let Ye Jie wait for him.

After 5 minutes, Ye Jie walked in his sapphire blue tailor-made suit. He had his usual noble aura around him. Just one glance and Li Qiao knew how much attention Ye Jie must have attracted from the time he entered his company building.

"Hello, Mr. Ye!" Li Qiao greeted him politely and stretched his arm to indicate for him to take a seat. He sat right opposite of him.

"Sorry for coming unannounced." Li Qiao waved it off like it wasn't a big deal. Ye Jie went quiet after that. He had a lot of things in mind but now he didn't know how to ask.

"What do you wanna know about Mey-Mey?" Li Qiao's surprised Ye Jie.

"How did you?" Ye Jie didn't know what gave it away that he was here to talk about Xu Mey.

"You and I have only one thing in common... Xu Mey." Ye Jie instinctively nodded.

"You must have heard that she doesn't want to go to honeymoon." Li Qiao nodded indicating that he had heard about it.

Ye Kim entered with a cup of coffee for both of them and left immediately after placing it on the coffee table.

"I wanted to take her out. But I don't have any idea where?" Ye Jie stated his dilemma.

Li Qiao picked his cup of coffee and took a sip letting the hot coffee burn his tongue. "You can take her anywhere. It doesn't make much difference." Li Qiao stated with a straight face.

"Why doesn't it make a difference?"

"Just because it doesn't." Was the only reply he received. Ye Jie realized why Xu Mey was so difficult. It came from this guy.

They were quiet for a minute before Ye Jie said, "You don't seem to be fond of me."

Li Qiao reclined back in his seat. With his legs crossed, a black cup held between his long slender fingers, he looked distinguished. "It's not that I don't like you. I'm still deciding."

"Ha? Deciding? About what?" Ye Jie's curiosity was piqued.

"Have you heard, 'A good destiny is when two people find each other without even looking.'" Li Qiao asked and Ye Jie nodded instinctively. "You and Xu Mey are the two people who met without looking for each other. You were looking for someone else and she had no plan to even start looking for anyone. What I can't seem to decide is whether you're her good destiny or bad?" Li Qiao took another sip of his coffee while his sight was trained on Ye Jie's face.

Ye Jie was in deep thought. He couldn't think of a reply. Li Qiao's voice broke the trail of his thoughts, "Let me ask you something, Mr. Ye." Ye Jie looked up at him as Li Qiao uncrossed his legs and sat straight. "Are you ready to put Xu Mey in your heart or are you gonna make her fight for a place in your heart with someone else?"

The question seemed very simple but Ye Jie felt the pressure. Did he want Xu Mey to fight with someone? If yes then who? Lu Yuhan? Definitely not! But was he ready to put her in his heart? Or did he already gave her the place?

Ye Jie's lips curled upward slightly. "Fight? She doesn't have to fight with anyone. Naturally, the place in my heart should belong to her since she's my wife. But even if I don't give it to her... That beautiful smile, that indifference in her eyes for me, her adorable scowl and her as a person... She doesn't need me to put her in my heart, she knows how to find her way in my heart."

Let's face it. Ye Jie is hell-bent on making us singles feel miserable...

Unexpectation is better than expectations.

Expectations let us down. But unexpected things lifts us up.

Don't forget to write a comment, drop a power stone in my bucket or write a review. ^_^

Kapitel 56: Make Up For The Bitterness

Ye Jie left Li Qiao's office with plenty of things in mind. Even though Li Qiao didn't say much but what he said was more than enough for Ye Jie. He was thinking about the answer Li Qiao gave him when he asked the question. "Does she not get drunk?"

Li Qiao's face was indifferent but his voice held a lot of concern. "It's not that she doesn't get drunk. Lin Shen said that she's putting all her efforts in settling a psychological barrier. That barrier around her mind is not allowing her to put her guard down. She doesn't want to let anyone close to her weaknesses." Li Qiao sighed as he pinched his brows.

In his thoughts, Ye Jie didn't see the person standing in front of him and ended up banging into her. "Sorry!" He apologized immediately without missing a beat.

Yu Kim smiled politely and said, "It's okay, Mr. Ye."

Ye Jie stared at her face with a frown between his brows. He rubbed his chin with the index finger as if trying to remember something. "Have we met before?" He asked.

Ye Kim was surprised at his question but she replied, "I don't think so."

"Why do you look so familiar then?" He wasn't asking her the question rather the question was to himself. Before Yu Kim could react Ye Jie walked past her in his thoughts. But after a few steps, he abruptly stopped. "Ahan!" He turned to her again as she looked at him. "You're reminding me of Mr. Yu Ting. Are you related?"

Yu Kim's body stiffened at that name but she recovered in a matter of seconds. With a smile plastered on her small face, she replied. "He's my father, Mr. Ye. Isn't it obvious I'll look like him?"

Ye Jie's eyes widened at her reply. He was even gaping. Yu Ting was a name to be feared in the business world. He belonged to a conglomerate family with a history that went far ancient times. He had only heard that Yu Ting had only a daughter that was precious to him more than his business. It would come as a shock to anyone that such a powerful man's daughter was working as an assistant.

"Do you want to ask why I'm here?" Yu Kim asked since that was the most asked question in her life.

Ye Jie shook his head without delay. This time Yu Kim frowned. "I'll ask my wife about that. That way, I'll have something to ask and she'll have to talk." Ye Jie was rubbing his hands inwardly but he only showed a smile outwardly.

For some reason, Yu Kim found his answer very pleasing. She didn't expect that what she heard about Ye Jie was not true at all. She shook her head with a smile on her face as she watched Ye Jie's disappearing figure.

-Conference Room At Vintage Gems-

The conference hall was submerged in a vehement debate. The agenda for the board meeting was closely related to how Vintage Gems was planning on dealing with CoCo Jewels who appeared to have decided on choosing Jade Stones over Vintage.

Everyone Loves profit. As they say, "Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception." There is no doubt that people would choose a profit. Even though Vintage was a huge name in the market, but Vintage only depended on the talent of its people and their hard work. While Jade Stones had the backing of both Fu's and Xu. It was quite evident for a sensible person to know which one will be profitable.

And a verbal agreement is like sand in the business world. One can just make that sand go away with a bit of wind.

"Vintage will have to take a huge blow if this deal went to someone else." One of the directors spoke with fury.

"Jade Stones are getting shameless day by day. Our market value is better than them yet they are using other means to take away our deals." Another one chimed in.

"But if they sealed the deal with CoCo Jewels, Vintage's market value will go down. Our shares will drop drastically." This voice was not furious rather anxious.

All this while, the person sitting at the main seat had not said a word. Xu Mey was reclining on her chair with an air of languidness. It was like she wasn't even listening to what was being said. But the truth was she was listening to every word, she just wasn't letting those words enter her brain. Her mind already had Ye Jie's words, how could it let some not-so-important directors words enter?

All of a sudden, a phone ringtone rang in the conference room making everyone's breath hitch. All the members of the board pulled out their phones to check with cold sweat making its way on their foreheads. It was common knowledge that President Xu didn't like the sound of the phone. There was once a manager whose phone rang during the meeting and after that, the poor manager had to work overtime for an entire year without a single vacation.

"Whose phone is ringing?" Everyone looked at each other before sneaking glances at Xu Mey to observe her reaction.

Xu Mey's phone was laying with the screen facing the table on her right side. She picked it up and saw the familiar caller id flashing on it. When everyone saw that it was the President's own phone, they all had mixed feelings.

"President Xu has a phone?" Someone voiced out in surprise.

"Isn't it obvious that she has a phone?" Another one chided the previous one.

"No... I mean... She doesn't really use it..." He was a bit hesitant but he wasn't alone. Every board member had to contact Xu Mey through Qin Hao. So, they assumed that she didn't like cell phones. And her own phone was just for show.

When Xu Mey looked up at them, everyone quietened. There was pin-drop silence in the room. "Hello!" She accepted the call in a calm voice.

"Hey, my dear wife! How are you?" Ye Jie asked the usual question.

"I'm fine." She replied straightforwardly. Even though everyone saw her calm face, they felt like her voice a bit gentle than usual. Her usual calm voice was a bit cold but today, it was awfully gentle.

"Since you won't ask. Let me tell you, I'm also fine." Ye Jie continued to talk.

"En." She replied making Ye Jie roll his eyes.

"Dear wife?" His voice suddenly seemed softer and cautious.

"Yes."

"Your... *cough* Your dad called to invite us to Xu Residence tomorrow." Ye Jie answered honestly. He was walking out of Lotus Entertainment when Xu Chen's call surprised him.

"Mhm..." She replied.

"What should I say to him?"

"Do you need my permission for everything?" She asked amusingly.

"Fine... " He stayed quiet for a long while just listening to her soft breathing. Knowing well enough that she won't talk by herself, he continued, "I placed a pack of orange fruit jellies in your jacket. Don't forget to eat it."

"I told you, I don't -" He interrupted her.

"I know you don't like sweet things. But I think you should try eating some sweet things. You said yourself, Life is bitter. 'That's why everyone wants sweet things.' We have to make up for the bitterness." She could feel the smile in his tone. But she was more surprised that he quoted Black Butler. "Take care of yourself and I'll see you at home." Ye Jie disconnected the call.

Almost all the pair of eyes in the room was trained on Xu Mey. She straightened up after the call and said, "Leave CoCo Jewels deal with me. I'll deliver the results by next week." The gentleness in her voice was taken over by a frost.

"But President Xu, Jade Stones is signing the deal with CoCo Jewels next week." One of the members tried to reason with her.

Xu Mey looked at him making him gulp. "Did I ask you?"

"N-No..." He stammered.

"Then I don't need your suggestion." With that, the meeting came to an end.

On your high demand, there will be no holiday on Sunday from now on even though this was the only Sunday, I took a break on. Anyways, Sunday will be a bonus chapter day with the release of more than 2 chapters for sure.

And there seems to be a day in the mid of February that you all love so much. Originally, I wanted to post a complete short story on that day but now I think it's better to give a mass release of 10 chapters.
