10.22% Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty / Chapter 43: Uncertain & Stressful

章節 43: Uncertain & Stressful

There were quite a few things running around in Xu Mey's mind when she left the house in the morning.

Her head was like: "What's up with that kiss? And those sugary words?"

Her heart was like: "It was a way to show that he cares." Xu Mey's heart again skipped a beat without any prior notice.

Her head was again like: "Is he giving mixed signals?"

Her heart was like: "No, you stupid. You're just having second thoughts... AGAIN!"

Xu Mey parked her motorbike at a secluded place and knocked her head with her knuckles. She was frustrated. And the worst part was; She didn't even know why she was frustrated in the first place.

They are right when they say: 'Uncertainty is the most stressful feeling.'

Xu Mey was both: Uncertain and Stressful.

The feeling when you don't even know what you're feeling is a damn f*cking feeling.

She remembered a saying at this moment: 'If he loves you, you'll know. If he doesn't, you'll be confused.'

Which means if he loved me I'd have known by now but he doesn't love me that's why I'm so damn confused. Right? Right.

She joined her fist with her other hand's palm as she concluded in her mind. Now, there was only one answer to her weird behavior; there was something wrong with her heart.

She put back her helmet and got on the motorbike. But instead of taking the right turn which was the way to her office building, she took the left turn leading her to...

The Hospital.

At the hospital, she went through ECG, Blood Test, Chest X-Ray and even CT Scan but when the doctor concluded there was nothing wrong with her heart, she didn't believe a word.

"You went through all the tests and the result is before you. But if you're still insisting there is something wrong with you, why don't you explain in detail?" The doctor was a tall man in his late forties but he was very handsome even at this age.

"I'm telling you something is wrong because my heart just skips a beat whenever it feels like it." Xu Mey replied is an obvious kind of way.

Dr. Zhu Chen nodded his head like an experienced doctor trying to understand his patient. He recently came back to China from the Country F. He was a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon. But today, he was helping an old friend by just seeing some common patients. Who knew Xu Mey would be the first one.

"Can you explain further? Like when it started? How did it start? And what do you really feel when it happens?" He was very professional with his questions.

"Today is the third day. Before this, it never happened. It started when my husband talked to me about our wedding night during the ceremony." She tilted her in thought. "And now it's becoming a habit. When he talks or just come close to me, this stupid heart skips a beat or does that annoying 'thump' 'thump' sound. It's so loud that I'm afraid, I'll be stone deaf soon enough." Xu Mey explained so calmly that it was hard to say whether she was telling the truth or just messing around. Her expression was as if her heart's reaction was a mystery to her.

Dr. Zhu pursed his lips trying hard not to laugh at his patient's explanation. But rather than finding her to be annoying or a nuisance, she seemed adorable to him.

"You're an odd one." He commented.

"You have to be odd to be at the top." Xu Mey replied with a straight face. Dr. Zhu was amused just listening to her. "Dr. Seuss once said: 'You have to be odd to be number one.'"

Dr. Zhu's gaze held admiration for her. She's not that old but she seems strong. 'A person with an easy past can never be strong.' She must have been through her personal hell to turn into the person she is today. But she's really ignorant about love.

"Let me teach you some breathing techniques. It'll help you a lot." He couldn't just tell her about why her heart was skipping a beat around her husband. It was something she needed to discover herself.

Even if he told her, she won't understand it at all. Love can't be explained in words. It can only be felt and that too with your heart.

He taught her some breathing techniques which she picked up very smoothly. "Try drinking Hibiscus Tea or Lemongrass Tea. It'll help you a lot." He offered his expert suggestion.

"Thanks, doctor. But are you sure, that I don't have an arrhythmia?" She was still suspicious.

"Yes, I'm sure." He replied with a faint smile.

"How sure are you?"

"Very sure."

"How sure is very sure?"

He didn't get angry at all. "100%"

Xu Mey nodded. "Oh well, I can only trust you. Okay then. I'll be leaving now. Thanks once again, doctor." She closed the door behind her politely.

"What an interesting young lady." Dr. Zhu chuckled thinking about Xu Mey.

With a sullen face, Xu Mey walked out of the hospital. She was supposed to be happy about being healthy but she was gloomy instead.

The reason was very simple. If it had been an arrhythmia, her confused mind would have been at ease. But now the confusion was back with a loud bang.

She was getting on her motorbike when her cellphone rang. She pulled the phone out of her jacket. It was Li Qiao's call.

"Hi, Qiao!" Her voice was dull and Li Qiao could feel it.

"Mey-Mey, are you alright?" He asked anxiously.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied.

Li Qiao heard an ambulance siren from her side and his heart started beating like a drum as he abruptly stood up from his revolving chair. "Where are you?"

"Me? I'm at the hospital." Her short sentence fell like lightning on Li Qiao as the coffee mug in his hand fell down breaking into tiny pieces.

I don't know why people try to explain love in words. Love is a feeling. So, isn't it obvious that it can only be felt?

You can never understand the definition of love from someone else's experience. Because it's a feeling that brings a different change to every person.

Moving on, Hope you enjoyed this chapter filled with our crazy FL.

Spoiler Alert:

I introduced a new character and it's actually a very important person in the story. For both FL and ML. *evil laugh*

Don't forget to comment.

章節 44: But It's Called Love

The clattering of the cup was loud enough to reach Xu Mey's ears making her frown. Realizing what she had just said and what effect it must have had on Li Qiao she facepalmed herself.

"Qiao, calm down. Nothing happened to me at all. I'm in perfect condition. You know I won't lie to you ever." Xu Mey said slowly trying to get her words across to soothe his uneasy heart.

Li Qiao was not convinced completely but he tried to calm down knowing well enough that she really won't just lie to him. "Then why are you at the hospital?"

"It's all this stupid heart's fault. I did nothing. Trust me, I'm very innocent in this case." Xu Mey depicted the reason for coming to the hospital and also what the doctor told her.

Li Qiao's tensed muscles finally eased up as he reclined back on his seat. He felt a droplet of something trickle into his eye making him realize that he's broken into a cold sweat.

In just the span of two minutes, Li Qiao had walked to the door of heart failure and back. He was drained emotionally and physically feeling really tired. He heaved a long sigh of relief and then smiled at his Mey-Mey's antics of running to the hospital for a simple thing.

Xu Mey experienced all kinds of feelings; hate, fear, anger. But love was new to her. Li Qiao knew it might be a bizarre feeling but she wasn't as dense as to run to the hospital for it.

The real issue was in her belief:

"Love?

It's a mirage…

It lures you in…

And devours you whole…"

Even Li Qiao had no idea who taught it to her. But she wholeheartedly believed in it. And he couldn't do anything about it.

"So, your heart skipped a beat around Ye Jie?" His voice was calm, doting but hiding his amusement.

"Yeah…"

"And you want to know why it happens?"

"Yeah… That's exactly what I want to know." She was feeling mystified. She kept rubbing her temple to ease the pain that was crawling in.

"Give it some time. You'll know the reason." He tapped his fingers on the armrest casually. "Just remember, when it comes to Ye Jie, stop running your mind faster than your motorbike. Always focus more on what your heart thinks."

Xu Mey frowned at his words. "Qiao, what are you trying to imply?"

"Mey, it's not like you have a low EQ. You and your heart both know very well about what you're going through. But the problem lies in your attitude... You don't want to accept what your heart is desperately trying to tell you."

Where it was true that love was foreign territory to Xu Mey but she heard about it. He Jian and Li Qiao never talked about love with her and Wu Wang stopped talking after his own belief was trampled on. But Lin Shen and Jun Li Na never stopped talking about how beautiful and magical love is.

Xu Mey had an idea about her heart's abnormal behavior. But the truth was; she didn't want to accept it. She desperately needed a reason to escape from this feeling. To deny it. And that's why she chose to believe that it was a disease rather than believing that a new feeling was trying to make cracks in the thick walls around her heart.

Some walls are built to protect ourselves from the storm. But sometimes, these walls stop us from seeing the world beyond that storm.

Love is an existence that makes you forget even your own self. But Xu Mey was scared of forgetting. She lived with only a single aim. Revenge. She was afraid that love will make her weak and in weakness, she'll forget the promise she made to herself. And if she forgot that, her reason for existence will vanish.

After staying quiet for a long while she said, "There was never a place for that feeling in my life."

There was a bitter smile on Li Qiao's face. "The more you'll run, the closer it'll be to you. And that feeling is unpredictable. It can never be planned Mey-Mey. It comes like an unannounced storm."

"Yeah and that storm ends up destroying you." She snickered. "I'll talk to later, Qiao. I have to go to the office. I have a meeting with some new investors."

Xu Mey disconnected the call without waiting for his reply. Li Qiao shook his head as he thought: 'You can run... You can hide... But it's called love... Because you can't survive...' He sighed.

He crouched down to pick up the shattered pieces of his favorite cup. The cup was favorite because it was a gift from his one and only aunt. While picking the pieces, the knock at the door distracted him for a second and in that second of recklessness, a sharp shard of the ceramic cup pierced the skin of his hand. He took a sharp intake of cold breath at the pain as the blood gushed out of his palm.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Yu Kim's voice penetrated the silence in his office as she took large strides and came closer to his crouched figure. She inclined her body intending to take the broken cup from his hand but his hand gesture made her halt her movement.

"It's not in your job description to pick up the broken pieces." He replied calmly as he continued to take the rest of pieces off the ground. "Walk back." He ordered and Yu Kim took a few steps with a hurt expression but hid it very well.

He was afraid that she'll get hurt while not taking note of his own blood dying the marble floor in red color.

She was clutching her chest in her hand as she saw his blood falling. "It's not your job either. Let me call the cleaning staff." Li Qiao didn't stop her.

He placed all the broken pieces in a small box to keep them safe while Yu Kim brought the medicine box.

Li Qiao arched his brow in question at her and took a step back from her. It was actually funny that a grown man was not afraid of getting hurt but he was certainly scared of disinfectants.

Yu Kim knew what was running through his mind very well. "Take a seat Sir and let me help you clean that wound before you get an infection." She was very calm but the worry in her eyes was betraying her big time.

People are scared of death. Why? Because we don't know what death will bring with it.

People are scared of love. Because they don't know how it'll end.

Both death and love have a similarity. Uncertainty.

But people are also scared of life. Even when they know that it's ending is death.

---------

I ramble a lot. I know. But I can't help it. Trust me, in reality, people call me a very quiet person.

Now, that's a different story that when I start talking there is no stop button.
