บท 213: Loving & Losing

-Imperial City-

Ye Jie had been busy from the time he came to Imperial City. But in all his work he didn't forget to keep his phone by his side. He was waiting for Xu Mey's call.

Ye Jie had seen the news early in the morning reporting everything about Xu Liqing's scandal. He thought that Xu Mey would call now. But she didn't. He felt disappointed but didn't lose hope.

Several times he picked up his phone to dial her number but each time, his thumb would hover over the name, 'My Baby' before he'd lock the phone and throw it aside.

At first, he was fuming with rage and slowly that rage turned into bitterness than to sadness and eventually he felt empty. The reason he couldn't call her was just to see whether she would call or not.

Oddly enough, in their marriage period the number of times she called him could be counted on one hand and still you'd have fingers to spare. His feeling of melancholy brought him to the bar in the evening.
