Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

By the time Xu Mey woke up in the morning, Ye Jie had left the room to buy some breakfast for her. She looked around and found a sticky note on the side table. It read: ’Baby, I’m going out to buy some breakfast for you. You haven’t eaten anything since last night. I’ll be back soon.’

Xu Mey smiled reading the note and she didn’t realize that her father had woken up and he was staring at her smile intently. Xu Cheng felt inexplicable happiness in his heart seeing that she was alright now.

Feeling a gaze at the side of her face, Xu Mey lifted her head and saw her father smiling softly at her.

"Dad, are you okay? Let me call the doctor," she ran out of the room to get a doctor before Xu Cheng could even say anything.

She came back with the doctor and stood at the side while the doctor examined Xu Cheng. After a while when the doctor left the room before instructing a few precautions, Xu Cheng beckoned Xu Mey to come closer with his finger.

Xu Mey took small steps and came beside her father’s bed with a lowered head. "Did you get hurt?" She heard her father’s voice making her lift her face. She shook her head slowly and stayed quiet. "That’s good." Xu Cheng said and turned his face to look out the window at the side.

"Dad!" After much contemplation, Xu Mey managed to voice out. "Why did you save me?"

Xu Cheng stared at her face and raised his hand to touch her head saying, "If I won’t save my own daughter then who else am I supposed to save?"

The turmoil of feelings inside Xu Mey’s hearts was getting uncontrollable. "But you never saved me before. You always thought that I’m not your daughter." Xu Mey felt bitter while complaining for the first time in her life to her father.

Xu Cheng heaved a long sigh but stayed quiet. "Dad, are you still going to stay silent? Even now after everything that happened?"

Xu Cheng knew that he won’t be able to hide anything for long now. His daughter was smart enough to figure out a lot of things.

"What if dad tells you that he never believed the ones who said that you’re not my daughter?" Xu Mey’s eyes widened up.

"Then why did you ignored me for so long?" She asked.

"Because I know Fu Lan better than you." Xu Mey frowned. "She’d been obsessed with me for a long time now and when I came back from Country F with your mother, Fu Lan went crazy thinking of several ways to get me. In the end, I fell for her psychotic plan and Xu Liqing is the result of that plan." He longingly stared into the distance before continuing, "I saw how she always tried to chide you without any reason or rhyme and I thought that perhaps, after marrying me her obsession will be over and let you live in peace."

He shook his head at the memory. "I was wrong. Instead of letting you live in peace, she started taking advantage of her position. Do you remember that you fell down the stairs once?"

"Yeah... It was my 8th birthday and I went rolling down the stairs." Xu Mey felt hurt at the memory.

"One day before that I took you out to the park." Xu Mey clearly remembered that. It was one of her good memories with her father. "When Fu Lan got to know that I took you out, she planned to make you fall down the stairs."

Xu Mey stared dumbfoundedly at her father. "But why?" She questioned.

"I told you she’s psychotic. She couldn’t see that I was spending time with you or showering you with love. She’s one of those crazy jealous people. I never touched her in all these years of our marriage and that might have added another reason for her hate for you. She believed that your mother was the one who came between her and me but in reality, Fu Lan was the one who came between us and tore us apart." Xu Mey silently listened to her father’s voice which seemed to have aged in a single night.

"Since I couldn’t help you by myself, I asked Fu Shuang to take care of you because I saw the way he cared for you. I know he wasn’t me but Fu Lan took control of Xu Corporations in some way and if I had intervened, she would have killed you a long time ago." He took a pause to catch his breath while Xu Mey passed a glass of water to him.

After soothing his parched throat, he continued again, "I tried sending you to boarding school to save you but even that didn’t work much. Until the day that hotel incident happened, I didn’t even know that she’d been trying to drive you insane through drugs. The worst part was that I had to choose between sending you to the rehab or the prison." Xu Mey’s heart quivered a bit. Xu Cheng stroked her hair saying, "I chose the rehab because I could save you there. I bought all the people of the rehab center but the drugs and that incident had such an effect on your mind that you started believing that you’re in a prison. The more you tried to kill yourself, the more I tried to save you in that year."

"But it changed when you’re caught after running away from the rehab. You started acting normally and it was a huge accomplishment. One day, a person came to me and told me that he can save you. I didn’t believe that person but he told me how the changes in you were brought by his care. The only thing, he asked me for was that I allow him to take you away from the rehab and to save you I chose him as my last hope."

"Dad, who was that person?" Xu Mey’s heart beat like a drum against her chest.
