Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 100 - Simple Living, Pleasure Giving



While back on Xu Mey’s side, she spent the day at the Vintage working on her pending work. It was normal for her to work on weekends. She stopped working on the weekends after her marriage with Ye Jie. Now that he wasn’t around, she decided to work like her usual self.

When the phone didn’t ring at 4 o’clock, Xu Mey felt a strange tug at her heart. She tried to ignore it with her focus on her work and it worked to some level. She drove back to the Peach Estates quite late. It was already past 9 when she opened the door of the house. The darkness and silence welcomed her.

She went straight to the bedroom, took a shower, put on casual clothes and dried her hair before snuggling up in her warm bed. She kept tossing and turning but sleep didn’t come. She picked up her cell phone from the nightstand and kept staring at the screen.

"Did he get safely to Tokyo? He should have called to let me know." She was talking to herself. "Did something happen to him?" She felt anxious all of a sudden. "I should call him myself." She decided and opened the call log.

Her finger hovered above the call button but she couldn’t bring herself to press it. At the same time, the incoming call startled her and she almost dropped the cellphone from her hand. It was Ye Jie’s call. She smiled and felt a flutter in her stomach seeing his name flashing on the screen and attended the call without any delay.

"Hello!" Her voice was impatient as she unconciously touched her lips remembering his soft lips.

"Hey, My Cherry Wife!" He seemed a bit tipsy.

"Are you drunk?" She asked.

"Not yet but the way this idiot best friend of mine is making drinks for me, I’ll be drunk soon enough." He replied. She stayed quiet. After a pause, he said, "How are you?"

"Mm... I’m fine. What about you? How was your journey?" She asked sitting up to support her back against the bedpost.

"I’m also fine..." He again stopped talking. "I miss you." He said in a low voice all of a sudden. "Aren’t you missing me?" He asked hopefully.

"...Maybe..." She replied softly making him chuckle.

"Gosh! I wish I was there to see the expression on your face." He was amused thinking about her blushing. "Cherry Wife?"

"Mm..."

"Do you think I’m only useful because I’m Ye Jie- the CEO of Ye Enterprises?" He asked hesitantly.

Xu Mey found his question really odd. ’Why did he ask this out of nowhere?’ She thought.

"At first, you were only useful because of being the CEO." She replied honestly.

Ye Jie felt dejected. "And now?" He didn’t have much courage to hear any more.

"Now..." Ye Jie was nervously waiting for her answer. "Now, I think, you’re not that bad as just my husband, Jie." Ye Jie’s mind went blank for a moment.

"Really?" He asked ecstatically.

"Yup..." She heard her deep laugh making a smile to appear on her own face.

"Baby, go to sleep. It’s quite late. I would love to talk to you for hours but you need rest. I’ll call you tomorrow. Will you wait for my call?" He asked.

"Mhmm..." He heard her voice before the call hung up.

Ye Jie was laughing like a maniac. His best friend, Ru, looked at him behaving like this and shook her head. "Tsk, people in love are surely crazy." She muttered to herself.

"I heard that." She heard Ye Jie’s voice.

"So what? Aren’t you acting like a crazy person?" She gave him a challenging look. Ye Jie couldn’t deny. "Ah Jie?" She called him with softness in her tone making him raise his head to look at her tender eyes. "Are you falling in love with her?"

Ye Jie thought about it for a while. ’Was he really falling in love?’

"I don’t know..." He said in all honesty. "I just know that she makes me feel alive. Just listening to her voice brightened up my mood. In a way, she’s like you, Ru." She gave him a questioning look. He smiled tenderly, "She makes me believe that there is not just one kind of relationships in this world. Some relationships and feelings are too special. And those feelings don’t even have words."

Ru looked at him admiringly. "You make this Shifu proud, my dear disciple." She said while placing her hand over her heart in a dramatic way.

"Fu*k off! You have another dear disciple that seems dearest than me." He cursed.

She chuckled. "For this Shifu," She pointed at herself. "All the disciples are dear. But you’re my friend more than a disciple. Don’t you remember those days we spent together? That just reminded me, I’m hungry. Bring me to eat a free meal."

Ye Jie rolled his eyes at her again. "My foodie friend. What’s up with you and free meals? You’ve become one of the richest and most powerful people in the whole world and yet you’re asking me for a free meal."

She slung her arm around his shoulder taking advantage of their almost equal heights and said, "Dear friend, you and I got where we are through our own hard work. No one can better understand the value of money more than the one who earned it. I can’t just spend my money like water now, can I?"

"Why don’t you just say that you’re a miser." He suggested.

She flicked his forehead and said, "Not miser. I’m simple living while you’re pleasure giving. Now, buy me food. Stop arguing."

"I should stop arguing. No one can win the battle of words with you anyway." He muttered and walked beside her leaving the empty bar behind.
