章節 73: After Her Nightmare, I Do...

"Just give her the phone. Don't ask questions." Ming Qu had a look of askance but he didn't argue with Ye Jie any further.

"Xiao Xia?" Ye Jie heard Ming Qu's voice calling Wu Xia.

"Yes, baby!" He heard Wu Xia's faint voice from the other side.

"Could you please come here, Ye Jie wants to talk to you," Ming Qu said.

"Ye Jie?" Wu Xia's voice got closer. "You mean sister Mey's husband?" Ye Jie figured Ming Qu must have nodded because the next reply came, "Give the phone to me then."

"Oh, Hello! Jie Ge-Ge?" Her addressing him as big brother surprised Ye Jie but he didn't mind it. Even before Ye Jie could say anything, Wu Xia spoke, "How are you? How is sister Mey? I haven't spoken to her in a long time. Sorry, I couldn't attend the wedding. I so wanted to but that idiot brother of mine didn't let me. Even dad went to the wedding." She was aggrieved. "But since dad went alone, he had been sleeping in the guest room for a week now. Haha! Mom was very upset that he didn't bring her along. Oh, I almost forgot, why did you want to talk to me?"

'Thank God you just remembered that. Ah! She really talks a lot.' Even though Ye Jie was not used to this much talking but he was actually feeling relaxed listening to her complaining nonstop. She felt like a little sister mithering about being wronged.

"Do you know where Wu Wang is?" He asked.

"Huh? Wang-Ge is out of the country." She replied innocently.

"But he came to my house yesterday." Ye Jie claimed.

"What? Wang Ge is back? He was supposed to come after 2 weeks." She fell quiet for a minute. "Jie Ge-Ge? Is sister Mey alright? There is no way Wang Ge would come back so suddenly unless it has something to do with sister Mey." She asserted.

"She... She is fine now. Why don't you come to meet her over the next weekend and see for yourself?" Ye Jie offered.

"Oh, okay!" Her voice was cheerful. "I'll come for sure." She declared.

"Yes, please do." Ye Jie smiled. "Do you have any idea where Wu Wang could be?" Ye asked again.

"Mmm... If he had gone to the office, mom would have told me... Then... He must be at his penthouse in the suburbs." She came to a conclusion.

"Can you give me the address Xia Mei-Mei?" Hearing 'little sister Xia' in Ye Jie's soft voice felt so good to Wu Xia that she was over the moon.

"Yes yes... Of course..." She replied cheerfully. She gave Wu Wang's address to him joyously.

"I'll see on the weekend, Mei-Mei." Ye Jie smiled. His voice filled with gratitude.

During the lunch break, Ye Jie left the office and drove towards the suburbs. Ye Jie was walking to the lobby when Wu Wang entered the building wearing casual clothes. As Wu Wang's eyes fell on Ye Jie, he scowled.

Before Wu Wang could ask, 'Why are you here?' Ye Jie answered the question himself. "I'm here to meet you, Mr. Wu." Ye Jie replied in a business-like tone.

Wu Wang sighed and said, "Follow me!" He stepped into the private elevator with Ye Jie trailing behind him. They quietly entered his penthouse.

Wu Wang turned to Ye Jie and said, "Why did you want to see me?"

"Why? Can't I want to see you?" Ye Jie answered with his own question.

"I think you already got the idea that I'm not very fond of you." Wu Wang retorted in all honesty.

Ye Jie sniggered. "The idea I got is that none of you are fond of me." Wu Wang looked at his face with an arched brow. "The only difference is that you're very open about it. And that's why I'm here... Lin Shen has a way with words. Li Qiao is strict with his words. As for He Jian, *sigh* he's a mystery. The kind that scares me."

Wu Wang chuckled at his last remark. "Since you share my views about He Jian, you can take a seat." Wu Wang finally offered him to take a seat. "Would you like to drink something?"

"Just water." Ye Jie replied while sitting down. As Wu Wang left to take water, Ye Jie looked around his penthouse. It had a very sophisticated feel to it with minimalistic design. The most eye-catching things were the paintings hung on the walls. Before Ye Jie could focus much on the paintings, Wu Wang brought a water bottle for him and sat beside him.

"So," Ye Jie looked up at his face as he heard his voice, "What brought you to my humble abode?"

Ye Jie took another sip of water. He rummaged out his cellphone and pushed it towards Wu Wang. Wu Wang was skeptical but when his eyes fell on the video, he froze. He watched the video in silence. Even after the video ended, his eyes were frozen on the screen. With a jolt, he came out of his daze as he asked, "You didn't show this to Xu Mey, did you?"

Ye Jie shook his head and Wu Wang sighed. "How do you have it? Did you pry into her past?" Before Ye Jie could defend himself he heard, "No... You can't possibly find it even after looking. The only people who have it-" He stopped as a furious fire burned in his eyes. "Which one was it? The evil stepmother? Or her witch daughter?" Ye Jie saw the way his hands were clenched.

"I'll choose the latter one." He replied calmly seemingly not affected by Wu Wang's outburst.

"Do you believe it?" Wu Wang's voice was low very much unlike his usual self.

"If I did, I would have been confronting my wife instead of coming to see you."

"Then why are you really here" If Ye Jie didn't believe the video, there was no reason for him to be here at all. There had to be something else. And true to Wu Wang's speculations, Ye Jie showed him the photos of the documents. "Do you believe these?"

"After her nightmare, I do." Ye Jie replied honestly.

Wu Wang sighed feeling drained all of a sudden. "Don't bother believing it." Ye Jie frowned at his reply. "While the documents do say that she spent 4 years there but in reality, she spent only a year."

Ye Jie was shaken. "Why does it say 4 years then?"

Wu Wang shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Although I don't know who got her out of there or why? Or why the documents say 4 years? But I know only one thing, there was someone who saved her back then. And whoever he is, I'm thankful to him. She would have died otherwise."

章節 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?
