15.9% Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty / Chapter 68: She's Our Precious Little Girl

章節 68: She's Our Precious Little Girl

The people always deem you the way they want you to be. We don't have control over how someone thinks about us or through which filters they are looking at us. Everyone has the entitlement to think but no one has the right to judge.

But we forget this very easily. We love to judge everything around us. It's like judging will bring the feeling of sanctimonious to us. And the more someone tries to please us, the more we have the cause to believe that he's faking it.

But our human nature doesn't allow us to stop trying. Therefore, we keep trying to impress the people around us.

Mother Ye became that person for Xu Mey. She was trying to impress her with all her might and Mother Ye was holding on to her prejudice against her for some unknown reason.

The food that Xu Mey spent 4 hours to make, when Jun asked his mother, "Mom, how's the food? It's delicious right?"

She replied with a dry, "Hmm..." with a nod and that was done unwillingly.

Father Ye didn't hold back in his praises, "Our daughter-in-law is so filial. She has a unique taste in her hands. She's such a nice child." All the while, his eyes were following the reactions of her best friends giving away the fact that he was only trying to please them.

And Our overprotective four bros were keeping a solemn expression. They have been keeping an eye on every single interaction without getting involved themselves. Whenever Father Ye tried to strike a conversation with them, they either nodded with a practiced smile or replied in monosyllables.

It was almost late at noon when both the parents decided to leave. Both Ye Jie and Xu Mey walked them back to the door leaving the best friends behind in the back garden.

"So, we don't like his parents, right?" Wu Wang started with his question looking at the others.

"Don't worry. We are on the same page this time." Lin Shen answered his question while sipping on his rose tea in a poised manner.

"Yet, you guys think that Ye Jie is right for our honey Mey." Wu Wang grumbled while rolling his eyes.

"He and his parents are both different, Wang. We can't judge a child based on his blood." Li Qiao added looking in the direction of the door that led to the living room.

Wu Wang raised both his hands to emphasize, "I still think, we should consider divorce."

"Shut up, Wang!" He Jian's voice was calm and low but his tone gave Wu Wang a shiver. "Relationships are no joke. Just because your own became one. Don't try to make Xiao Mey's like yours."

Wu Wang stared at He Jian with pursed lips. He didn't have a reply to that. "That was a low blow, Jian." Li Qiao said to He Jian and turned to Wu Wang. "Even though Jian said it in the wrong way but he is not wrong, Wang. It's only been a week. We should observe for a while longer." Lin Shen showed his agreement with a nod.

"Whatever!" Wu Wang grumbled as he reclined back in a wicker chair with both arms crossed over his chest.

There was silence for a moment before He Jian broke it, "'Pearls don't lie on the seashore, you have to dive into the ocean to get them.' Since they found our pearl like Xiao Mey so easily. They are taking her as a pebble."

"Maybe they believe in, 'Better to have a diamond with a flaw than a pebble with none.'" Wu Wang sat straight as he said.

"Our Mey-Mey is neither a diamond with a flaw nor a pebble without any flaw, she's our precious little girl. No matter what they think about her, that doesn't concern us." Lin Shen joined the conversation placing his empty cup on the table.

They were immersed in their own debate that they didn't notice when Xu Mey came behind them. They only noticed her when she spoke, "Is it just me or my mother-in-law seems to hold a grudge?" There was a frown between her brows.

Li Qiao stood up and pressed her frown with his fingers saying, "It's not just you. We all noticed that." Knowing that she wasn't being paranoid, she relaxed a bit.

"Oh! So, did you guys see the way she treats my husband?" Hearing 'my husband' from her mouth was a bit odd for all of them but they didn't let it show on their faces.

He Jian wore his gold-rimmed glasses as he said, "If our Xiao Mey noticed it then isn't it obvious her brothers noticed it as well."

She was familiar with their natures and naturally, she was aware that their eyes were following exactly what she was seeing. It wasn't very obvious but she and her friends had a habit of noticing the subtle changes.

During the meal, Mother Ye kept filling up Ye Jun's bowl with food but she only placed a rib in Ye Jie's bowl once. And even at that Ye Jie showed a very gratifying expression. Then when Ye Jie asked about the meal, she didn't reply at all. But when Ye Jun asked, she gave a reply even though it was not worth mentioning at all.

Her mother-in-law's attitude didn't fit in the criteria of what she was told. According to the world, Ye Jie was his parents' favorite son for being so filial. But what Xu Mey saw was a completely different story. Only Father Ye treated him like the eldest son. As for Mother Ye's behavior, she wasn't so sure about it anymore.

As it's Sunday, so we have an extra chapter for the day...

Yay!

I know there is no interaction between Xu Mey and Ye Jie but everything has a reason. This chapter is kind of important for reasons you'll know later on.

Hope you like our overprotective bros... ^_^

章節 69: I Learned Cooking To Bribe Someone

All of them didn't stay for long. They only advise Xu Mey to take care of her health and threw warning looks towards Ye Jie before leaving. Ye Jie pulled Xu Mey to their bedroom after everyone left.

"I'm really sorry," She heard his faint guilty voice as he made her sit on the bed. She arched her brows in a questioning manner. "Sorry for not being much of help with mom and food."

After comprehending his meaning she said, "It's not much of a deal."

Ye Jie gave a humorless smile. "I would have believed you on normal days. But today, you were sick." He crouched down before her on the ground and held her hands. "I never really disobeyed her. The last time I argued with her was-" He stopped speaking making Xu Mey curious.

"When was the last time?" She asked.

He looked into her black orbs asking, "Do you really wanna know? It... It's actually related to my ex." He was hesitant in his words.

"I have no problem in listening at all." She replied with a straight face. "But you could feel hurt after living through the memory lane."

Ye Jie frowned. "No, I won't. She doesn't have a place in my life or my heart anymore."

"Then why are you getting frustrated?" She asked making his frown deeper. "I believe you when you said she doesn't have a place in your life but when you say she's not in your heart..." She sighed. "I really don't believe you."

"How can I make you believe in my words?"

"It's very simple actually. I'll believe you the day you won't hesitate to talk about her."

"Any reason for that?" Ye Jie placed her legs up on the bed and placed pillows to support her back. Then covered her legs with the duvet.

"My Wang bro had a girlfriend years ago. He fell in love with her and spent an entire year with her. When he met her, he told her that he was a painter. An artist trying to make his name in this big world." She was looking into a distant.

"He lied?" Ye Jie sat beside her on the bed as he asked.

"No... He didn't lie... He was actually trying to make a name for himself through painting during that time. He never liked that girls approached him because he was Wu Wang- the heir of Global Corporations. But he wanted an honest relationship. He thought he found that love in her. Especially when she became pregnant with his child." She took a pause. Ye Jie's whole attention was on her.

"Wang Bro decided to propose her and come clean about his identity but in the end, when he was on his knee, she told him about the abortion. The reason was simple, she didn't want to marry someone who didn't hold an identity worth mentioning, after all, she was supposedly a noble lady from a business family."

Ye Jie was confused. "How is this related to me?"

"Be patient..." She shifted a bit. "It's been almost 8 years and Wang Bro still has a portrait of her in his penthouse. He's known to be a playboy now. But he still has feelings for her." She shook her while sighing.

Ye Jie thought for a minute before speaking. "Maybe he's keeping her portrait as a reminder of his mistake of loving the wrong person."

Xu Mey smiled at his statement. "That's what Wang Bro said as well. But that's not true. The day he'll be ready to sell that portrait will be the day, all of us will believe that she doesn't have any control over his heart anymore."

Without even realizing it, Ye Jie had given control of his emotions to Lu Yuhan. He realized that talking about her really made him frustrated. And frustration is also a feeling. In Xu Mey's words, when her name won't be able to bring any kind of feeling in him, that's when she'll be out of his heart.

'Couldn't she just say it like an ordinary person?' He thought. 'But wait! I didn't know anything about Wu Wang. I always thought he was just a playboy but he seems to be hiding a lot in him.'

No one could blame Ye Jie for his opinion. Not even Xu Mey. Wu Wang had portrayed himself as a playboy who only has single night-stands. He never approached girls or try to establish any other relationship. Most of all, he never gave any girl hope. He knew how much it hurt when hopes are shattered.

Ye Jie passed her painkillers with warm water and asked her to relax. "Where are you going?" She asked seeing him getting up from the bed.

"I'm going downstairs to get you some milk and then I have some work to finish. But don't worry, I'll be done very soon." He replied as he headed to the door.

Remembering the start of the conversation, Xu Mey asked, "What about your first argument with your mother?"

Ye Jie stopped in his steps and turned to look at her. "You still are curious?" Xu Mey nodded. "It happened about a year ago, mom was against our relationship and she asked me to break up with her. I refused and that's how the argument happened."

Xu Mey creased her brows. "And then what?"

"Ha? Then nothing... My ex broke up with me and left. So, the argument with mom ended naturally." He shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the door.

She was deep in thought when Ye Jie came back with a cup of milk and made her drink it right in front of him.

"By the way, for someone who doesn't like cooking, you made one hell of a feast... Where did you learn to cook?" He was getting curious about her knowledge about food.

"I learned cooking to bribe someone." She replied nonchalantly.

"Do I need to know about it?" He asked cautiously.

"Not yet," She turned her head to one side. After that, he kissed the top of her head and asked her to take some rest. He went down to his study to work.

Xu Mey picked up her own laptop to check emails but instead her mind was wandering off to Ye Jie's words. A ring tone broke her wool-gathering. Catching the caller id flashing on the screen, she smiled broadly.

Take this dessert as well to go with the meal.

-----

To all those who think she went overboard with the food. Try cooking for your in-laws for the first time. There is so much confusion that you'd want to make everything just so that your mother-in-law is happy with you.

Especially in countries like China where parents opinion matters a lot more than your own when it comes to life partners.

Hope you enjoyed this conversation between our ML and FL.
