11.59% Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty / Chapter 49: I Need You

章 49: I Need You

Someone once said: 'The worst feeling in the world is the feeling of guilt.'

But the worst kind of guilt is when you haven't even done anything wrong. That was the kind of guilt in Ye Jie. He merely gave in to his brother's tantrum but now his wife's glare was like scorching heat making him resolve: 'I'll never give in to Ye Jun's tantrums ever again. It'll be a lot easy to avoid him than to face Xu Mey's glare.'

"My dear husband," Normally, Ye Jie would have been happy to hear the way she addressed him but now, he could feel the sarcasm clearly dripping from her words. "Your younger brother is sick and you know it's not healthy for him to eat such food. Yet you brought it?"

Ye Jie looked at the ground submissively not facing her. "It's not my fault. He played the emotional blackmailing card. I couldn't fight with it."

"Even if he did play a card. You're older than him. You shouldn't have given in to his wishes. Do you know what you did wrong?" Xu Mey was chiding him like he was bully.

"Yes." Hearing his brother's faint voice, Ye Jun chuckled and received a glare from Xu Mey in reply making him purse his lips.

"And you," She turned to Ye Jun. "Even when you're sick, you asked for such spicy food. Also, you're not wearing any jacket. And you're not even in the bed like you're supposed to." It was Ye Jun's turn to look submissive. He understood why his overbearing brother became so meek. His sister-in-law's oppression aura was no joke.

"Sis-in-law, that medicine made my mouth so bitter. That's why I wanted something with enriched taste." Ye Jun replied as if he had been wronged.

"That's why I brought these candied plums for you." She opened one of the plastic bags and pulled out a box of candied plums. Ye Jun's eyes brightened up again. "I brought some abalone congee and some udon for you as well. Now, eat this first and take some meds. You need plenty of rest."

Ye Jun raised from his seat intending to hug Xu Mey but Ye Jie pushed his body back to where it raised from. "Hug your own wife." His voice was low but held the same authority as it did in front of his employees.

Ye Jun puckered his lips accusingly. "I don't have a wife."

"Then get one to hug." The reply was straightforward.

"Don't want to." Ye Jun announced.

"Not my problem." Ye Jie kept his answer short and turned to his wife beside him. "How come you're so early?" He was stroking her black glossy hair.

She looked at him with her gleaming eyes. "I thought even if we can't go out, we can have dinner at home together." Ye Jie grinned at her answer seemingly satisfied with it.

Both of them forgot Ye Jun who was right beside them as they got into a staring competition. It took a while before Ye Jun kissed the top of her head and said in a low voice near her ear, "Stop running your mind for no reason." That kiss actually froze her thoughts.

Xu Mey frowned. Clearly, he couldn't have known that her mind was running wild again. But he knew. "You want to ask something?" Xu Mey nodded. "Don't hesitate. Just ask."

"The night of our wedding... Mm... Did I say something wrong? Or did I get the wrong idea about something?" The moment she was told that she should stop overthinking. She realized that maybe she had done overthinking which led to Ye Jie making everything clear to her. He was patient with her which gave her the impression that she must have done something.

Both brothers nodded their head like a rattle. "You do know that our past is something we can't change, right?" Xu Mey nodded in reply. "But we can't build our future looking at that past either." Ye Jie took a pause to let his words sink in her mind. "The thought that made you so cold that night was your own thinking."

Xu Mey thought back to their conversation and widened her eyes. "You weren't thinking about your ex?"

Again both brothers shook heads simultaneously. "Only an idiot will think his ex while sitting in front of his wife."

"But she was your girlfriend for 8 whole years. She was even with you since your childhood. There is no way you can possibly forget her that easily. People don't just fall out of love."

Ye Jie looked at his shrewd wife's face and smiled. This was within his expectations. The way her mind ran, it was not odd for her to say all this. "Yes, my dear wife is as always right. People don't just fall out love just like people don't just fall in love. In fact, the way they need someone to pull them in love is exactly how they need someone to pull them out of love." Xu Mey was listening attentively to him with her palm supporting her face.

"So, you're saying that you need someone to pull you out of love?" She asked curiously.

"Not someone." Ye Jie moved even closer to her making her sit straight. "You! I need you."

Xu Mey's heart was one thing, this time her whole body shook. *Cough* *Cough* "Why me?"

"Simple... Because... You... Are... My... One... And... Only... Wife..." The more he enunciated each word slowly, the more her breathing was getting stuck.

As much as fluffy clothes were comfortable to Xu Mey, these fluffy words were as much uncomfortable. She always believed that fluffy words were just fluffy not heartfelt or sincere. She felt like some stuffed her up with cotton candy.

It was hard for her to digest anything that came out of his mouth. And she would have laughed at it on any other occasion but the look in his brown eyes, his soul penetrating eyes mixed with his handsome face. Only brought one sentence to her mind: 'I'm doomed!"

Ye Jun: This single one is definitely not eating cotton candy.

Author: I feel you, bro. *sulking with a box of ice cream*

While it's true that we need someone to pull us out of love but it can't be denied that relationships only end when we stop trying. And we stop trying when we get bored.

We have the tendency to always look for something thrilling and exhilarating. And when love loses that thrill. It just becomes a burden.

章 50: Let's Bet On Him For Once

A relationship with insecurities can never last long. When insecurities enshroud the credence in a romance, what leaves behind is a crumbled relationship.

"Insecurity is a side effect of loving too much but receiving too little."

Xu Mey's insecurities came from her own family. An abandoned daughter that had nothing else other than insecurities in her. The girl who was abandoned by her own mother right after her birth, what could she expect from the rest of the world?

But...

That foolish girl still attached all her hopes with her father. The same father who let her down time and time again. The only thing Xu Mey knew about her mother's absence was that Fu Lan also got pregnant with Xu Liqing while her mother was in her last month of pregnancy. She knew her father cheated and it would have infuriated her mother but that thing will never be able to explain why she abandoned her own daughter.

And if she did, she should have come to look for her at least once in the past 28 years. But that woman didn't come, even when Xu Mey wished for her to come and take her away. She didn't come.

With her father evading her, Fu Lan's constant reminders of how her parents don't love her because she's not worth it and the way Xu Liqing made her feel useless; It all became a reason for her low self-esteem in herself. That low self-esteem made her feel jealous of Xu Liqing. And eventually, that jealousy made her lie to her own self.

Insecurities give birth to low self-esteem.

Low Self-esteem gives birth to jealousy.

Jealousy gives birth to lies.

And Lies puts you to your death bed.

Lies even pulled her to death but there was someone standing at the edge. The person who managed to pull her up from the sea of lies and jealousy. But insecurity was something she needed to get rid of herself.

Even though Ye Jie's words were sincere but her insecurities were not letting her believe in him.

'Let's bet on him for once.' She heard her heart's voice nagging her.

'You can't break a broken thing. So, why not just give him a chance?' Even her mind was in cahoots with her heart. And that was a rare scenario.

Xu Mey took a deep breath to ease up her stiffened body and looked at his brown eyes. Those orbs were akin to an enchanting vortex that kept pulling her in. She opened her mouth to say something but her mind froze without a warning. That gaze held a million questions in it but there was not a single word that came out of his mouth.

It was the first time in her life when Xu Mey wanted the other person to ask her. Because she desperately wanted to know whether she'll be able to speak about her own dark past or not.

Confusion is also a curse. You can't even know what you want. She was having a battle inside of her. She wanted him to know everything and at the same time, she didn't want him to learn anything about it. She wanted him to know 'cause she was tired of lies but she didn't want him to know because...

She couldn't comprehend why she didn't want him to know. If the question was asked a week before, she would've answered without a pause that it doesn't matter whether he knows or not. But it was not the same after just a week. If in only a week, he was making her mind turn into a confused-box, she didn't want to think about what it'll be like after spending more time with him.

She suddenly realized that she was getting more scared of his presence in her life than she was of her own past.

When nothing came out of her mouth, Ye Jie stared at her cherry-blossom lips with a faint smile and held her hands in his own making her jolt. "Stop running your mind. I'm right here." His beautiful soft voice was akin to the dew-drops that caress the flower petals in the early morning to refresh them.

In her daze, Xu Mey nodded at his words still lost in his eyes that held an indescribable feeling in it.

Ye Jun coughed loudly on purpose to let them know that he was still feeling sick and their lovey-dovey mood was making him feel worse.

Recalling that Ye Jun was still here, Xu Mey tried to free her hand from Ye Jie's grip but he ended up tightening his hold. Xu Mey didn't want to bother with him at the moment, so she turned to Ye Jun. "Why were you here last night?"

Ye Jun scratched the back of his head with a guilty face. "I was out drinking and ended up being wasted. I couldn't go home like that. Mom would have killed me. So, I decided to crash here." He told everything honestly.

Xu Mey frowned. "Why were you drinking?"

"It's all your best friend's fault." He replied accusingly.

"My best friend?" A crease appeared between her brows. "Which one?"

"Jun Li Na." He replied matter-of-factly.

Xu Mey nodded her head in understanding. "What did she do?"

"She didn't pick up my calls." He was resentful.

"You have her number?" She raised her brows feeling surprised.

"Yeah! She gave it to me during your wedding." Ye Jun smugly replied while passing his phone to her.

Xu Mey looked at the number displaying on the screen and didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. But she ended up laughing. Her laugh fell like thunderbolts on Ye Jie's heart. Just the laugh made his body react in the way even he didn't know it could.

"Why are you laughing, sis-in-law?" Ye Jun pouted.

"Sorry... Haha... It's just that... She made a fool of you... This is definitely not her number." Now it was Ye Jun's turn to be stunned at her reply.

Yesterday, while I was watching a video with my mom and sis. there was dialogue in it: "If a person smiles a lot, he's hurt. If a person sleeps a lot, he's sad." Both my mom and sis looked at me with accusation in their eyes at the second sentence.

While it's true that I love to sleep but whether I'm sad or just lazy is out of my own mind.

Even if I'm sad, I wouldn't know why. So I believe, I'm just lazy like a cat.
