Kapitel 74: My Cherry Wife
This time Ye Jie was not stunned. From what he gathered during her nightmare, if she really had spent 4 years in that cage made for her, she really would have killed herself.
"What about the video?" Ye Jie started as the warmth of the sun fell on his face through the tall windows.
"Do you trust her?" Wu Wang asked.
"I do!" Ye Jie's words were absolute.
"Then be patient. I believe that she thinks you won't trust her because she doesn't have proof of her innocence. When she gets the proof, she might open up to you." Wu Wang said leaning back on the couch.
Ye Jie nodded and quietly sat there looking around at the paintings. His penthouse was like an art gallery. Ye Jie stood up to look at the painting closely. Noticing something, he asked, "Why do you have my wife's portraits?"
"Because she's my little sister..." Wu Wang replied naturally as he came to stand beside him.
Okay, Bro... You win!
I guess, Now I know why my wife is so blunt...
"And my first muse as well..." Wu Wang continued thinking about something as a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Ye Jie's eyes caught the sign at the side of paintings. "You!" He pointed at Wu Wang in disbelief. "You're the famous painter, Eric?" Ye Jie was in disbelief.
"You have a problem with that?" Wu Wang asked.
"No way... I like your paintings from the very beginning. I even bought your first auctioned painting, 'Meeting and Parting'. It's still in my study." Ye Jie always liked his work. He always told Ming Qu that this painter had a deep story. Each stroke of brush or color felt like the painter poured his heart out.
Ye Jie wasn't wrong. For Wu Wang, a blank canvas was like his empty world. And he painted it with the pain inside his heart to hide his empty world from judging eyes. Although people thought painting was a hobby to him. But it was his escape from his own empty world.
"Wow, I never thought I'll meet my favorite artist. Not here at least." His interjection showed his honesty to Wu Wang. Seeing the weird way Ye Jie was looking at him. Wu Wang asked,
"What do you want to ask?"
"I heard that Eric donates all of the money earned from paintings to the cancer patients. Is that right?"
"Obviously it's right..."
"Why?"
Wu Wang gave him a look that made Ye Jie feel like a clown in front of him. "Look at me..." Wu Wang pointed at himself with both his hands. "Does this young master look like he needs money?"
Ye Jie figured that Wu Wang didn't want to share the real reason with him. They were not close. Wu Wang was not obliged to tell him anything at all. But the idea that a broken flower boy [1] like Wu Wang spent millions on cancer patients was really refreshing.
Ye Jie didn't ask anything and set out to leave. When he was leaving, Wu wang passed him a painting and said, "I still don't trust you very much. But I believe you have a heart that can shield my Mey's heart. So, I'll stop disliking you from now on." Ye Jie smiled at his words and left.
Lunchtime was over when Ye Jie came back. He opened the painting which Wu Wang gifted him when he came inside the office. For a moment, he didn't have words to say.
It was a painting of Xu Mey's side profile with a smile that showed her beautiful dimple. She looked relaxed with her eyes closed as the cherry blossoms fell on her. He decided to hang the painting in his office.
At the office, Ye Jie was again frustrated. This e-sports business was really out of his league. Actually, it was not that he couldn't do it, it was that he wasn't interested in e-sports at all. He was a typical example of a bookworm. Far away from gaming.
At exactly 4 o'clock, he called Xu Mey. Asking her about lunch and her medicines. And after informing her that he'll be on time to pick her up, he disconnected the call. While talking to her, his disposition was pleasant but the moment, the call was disconnected, he was back to his hectic work.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening and Ye Jie set out to pick up Xu Mey. When he arrived at the front of the building, he saw her walking out with a cold and indifferent face. She spotted his car instantly and climbed in.
As they were on their way back to the Peach Estate, Ye Jie asked, "How was your day, my dear wife?"
"It was alright..." After a pause, she said, "Can you stop calling me 'dear wife'?"
Ye Jie trained his eyes on the road as he said, "Sure..." Xu Mey sighed in relief which instantly vanished at his next words. "My cherry wife." She groaned in irritation.
"Don't you have anything else? Why not just call my Xu Mey?"
"Nope... Not happening..." He replied calmly.
At this hour, the traffic was quite heavy and they were stuck in a jam. "How was your day?" Xu Mey asked him.
"Perfect!" Ye Jie smiled looking at her but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Liar!" Ye Jie quirked his brows at her comment. "If you're going to lie at least learn how to."
Ye Jie couldn't help but chuckle at her observing nature. "It was very hectic." He seemed tired.
"Why?"
"There is a new e-sports business, we've started. And at this moment, we only have losses. I don't know what to do." Ye Jie pinched his brows.
"Did you play online games before?" She asked.
"No... Ye Jun plays... I never did." He replied.
"Hmm... You seem like the kind of person who wouldn't know about gaming much." He asserted.
"How come?" He was very curious.
"I'm an observing person with discerning eyes." She looked out the window and all of a sudden turned towards him. "You never even played the classic game like Legend's League?"
"Not at all..." He replied watching her gaping at him. "Have you played online games?"
"Yup!"
"You said you don't have hobbies. Gaming isn't a hobby for you?" She shook her head to answer him. "Why not?"
"Because I played games to earn money. I cleared FC's and people paid me for it." Her expression was formal with no visible emotions.
Ye Jie stared at the side of her face for a long time. To earn money, the eldest daughter of Xu Family had to play games for others. What else have you done, my cherry wife?

Kapitel 75: We Are Not Done Yet
Some people become your habit
Some habits become your nature
And nature become your individuality
When did giving Xu Mey a call or kissing her forehead in the morning and before going to bed or calling her cherry wife became a habit? Ye Jie didn't realize at all.
And when did sleeping soundly in his arms with his heartbeat acting as soothing music or his smiling face whenever he looked at her became a habit? Xu Mey didn't know as well.
These small habits were becoming a part of their nature without them feeling it at all. This week wasn't much different. Except for the fact that Ye Jie was acting like Xu Mey's personal chauffeur. But he loved to play this role. They got to spend time together and talk. Actual talk about random stuff.
Whether it was some news playing on the radio or a song, they'd easily start a conversation over it without feeling awkward.
In this week, Xu Liqing was feeling content thinking that Ye Jie must have been angry and rude with Xu Mey after everything she sent him.
Unbeknownst to her, their relationship was moving steadily because of her stupid mistake in the fit of rage. She didn't try to contact Ye Jie because she was busy planning the deal with Jade Stones which they were about to sign this week.
It was Thursday. The day, CoCo Jewels and Jade Stones were publicly going to announce their collaboration. The big screen in the conference hall of Vintage Gems was showing the live broadcast of the press conference.
As both companies were signing the contracts, all eyes in the hall shifted to the young lady in white sitting like an empress at the head seat. She looked like a pure fairy with a snow white dress complimenting her jade-like skin. But the fairy's cold aura was missing. Instead, she had a languid look almost like she was bored enough to even look at the press conference.
All of a sudden, her personal assistant whispered something to her and she nodded in reply. Qin Hao, her assistant changed the channel which was playing the press conference and connected his phone to play an internet video instead. The video was from an international blogger.
"Sapphire designs welcome you all friends of the media. We are glad that you've come forward to support us." A beautiful foreigner lady in a golden and black dress spoke in fluent French. "All of you must be curious about the agenda of this press conference. So, without further ado, I would like to invite our general manager to say his piece." The beautiful lady gave her spot to a middle-aged man.
"First of all, thanks to all of you for joining us. The agenda of today's press conference is to share very important news with everyone." He took a pause as the media went into discussion mode. "Sapphire Designs is proud to announce that we are collaborating with one of Asia's most prominent company, Vintage Gems."
Not just the media but the people in the conference room had mixed expressions. None of them expected this outcome from Xu Mey. They thought this time, President Xu was done for but who knew, she'll find her way around. And that too with Sapphire Designs? It wasn't only the most popular brand in Country F but also in entire Europe.
"And with this collaboration, Vintage Gems will be opening their first 3 stores in Paris anytime during next month. The time and date will be shared with you and we'd like you to come to show your support." With that, the video ended.
All the board members looked at Xu Mey without a word. She didn't react much but her cold chilly voice rang out, "We are not done yet. Qin Hao!"
Hearing her words, everyone gulped. Qin Hao played the Jade Stones Press conference again. The signing ceremony was done and they were shaking their hands.
After a while, a reporter raised his hand. He was a lanky young man in his mid-twenties. "Ms Xu Liqing, we've heard that the collaboration plan you proposed to CoCo Jewels was actually stolen from Vintage Gems. What do you have to say about this?"
Xu Liqing blanched for a moment before coming back to her senses. "I don't know where you heard this groundless accusation but it's just that; a groundless accusation. A well-established company like Jade Stones doesn't need a wanna-be company like Vintage for success."
The reporter smiled coldly. "Ms Xu, we've also heard that Vintage Gems is actually planning on suing Jade Stones for stealing not only their plans but also the designs."
Seeing Xu Liqing in a tight spot, Jade Stones Manager spoke, "Vintage Gems are the one who stole our plans and designs yet we are being the bigger person here. But looks like they really don't know how to repay kindness with kindness."
"So, are you insinuating that Vintage is actually the fake one?" The reporter asked.
"Absolut-" The manager's words were cut off when he saw the police and a few other people entering the hall.
"Vintage Gems have formally sued Jade Stones for theft of plans and their designs. Ms Xu Liqing, since you're the CEO of Jade Stone, you've to come with us to the police station." The bulky officer at the front said.
Xu Liqing panicked. "What do you mean? I won't go anywhere. I didn't even do anything. Even if anything was done, it must be done by this stupid manager. Why do I have to go to the police station?"
"Miss don't make it worse for yourself. We have the court orders." The lawyer showed the documents to everyone present.
No matter how much Xu Liqing tried to get free, the police dragged her right in front of everyone.
Qin Hao turned off the screen. "President Xu, how could our designs get leaked?" One of the directors asked.
"Shouldn't I be asking all of you instead?" Xu Mey's cold aura was back. Her tone and those chilled eyes made everyone feel cold. "If you will ask me then who will I ask?"
"Doesn't President Xu already know about the culprit?" Another board member spoke. He was rather young to be sitting here.
"Oh, really? And why do you think that Mr Hao?" Her cold eyes looked at the youth.
"Because, the President Xu I know of wouldn't have filed the lawsuit without knowing the whole truth." He replied seemingly calm yet with a turmoil of fear within. Fear of her losing her temper.
Xu Mey gave a half smirk which looked evil. "Then Mr Hao we should ask our capable manager, Mr Ching?" She looked at the man who was sweating profusely at the moment, "What do you think, Mr Ching?" Her slow voice was akin to a poison slowly torturing him.

I believe all of you want them to be intimate. But come on guys, they have been married for what like 12 days or so.
I want them to be emotionally intimate first because I don't like physical intimacy without emotions or the type where intimacy is used to make the girl fall for you.
What they need as a couple right now is an emotional connection, not some superficial intimacy.
But don't worry, we'll get there but for now, it's a big no from my side.
Second bonus chp
Happy New Year once again.
