Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

The orange hues of the sun seemed like a tangerine jelly merging with the sky. The sun hid half of itself under the blanket of the sky as if blushing thinking of how the twilight will soon beckon the stars. Silhouettes of birds appeared on the now magenta sky as they flew back to their homes.

As the last orange rays made her sleeping figure aglow, his lips bore a semblance of a smile at the sight. He enjoyed this feeling of being able to lie next to her and just stare at her milky white skin.

The birds might be flying home outside the window but as he placed a kiss on the space between her brows, he knew that he was really home. He pulled her body closer to himself and said, "I love you, baby. And I also love the feeling of loving you. Oddly, I don’t seem to care anymore about what your love does to me." His voice sounded like whispering meadows; serene, mysterious, and most of all beautiful.

Xu Mey stirred a bit in her sleep as his voice fell to her ears. She smiled and tilted her face to look at him. "Jie, what am I to you?" She asked out of the blue in a soft voice.

Ye Jie played with her long locks and smiled beautifully. "You are my weakness." He started making her scowl but he kissed the tip of her nose and added, "But you’re also my strength."

"How?" She questioned seemingly very interested in this conversation.

Ye Jie tousled her hair a bit and said, "You’re my weakness because I care for you too much. As for being my strength, that’s because I love you too much."

Xu Mey stared dumbfoundedly at his face that seemed to be glowing for some odd reason. Then her lips curled upwards as a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She hugged him tightly as if afraid that he would slip away from her grasp.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" She suddenly remembered as she sat up covering herself with sheets and added, "I have a gift for you."

Ye Jie’s brows quirked up in surprise as he listened to her, "I prepared it about a month ago for your birthday but I got tangled up with stuff so much that I completely forgot about your birthday." She was feeling really bad about it.

"Found it!" She managed to pull out a small box out of her jacket which was thrown somewhere earlier and walked back to the bed. She extended the box towards him with a toothy grin.

Ye Jie eyed the box curiously and took it from her. As he opened the box, his brows knitted together.

There was a bracelet set inside the small box. The platinum bracelets had a very simple design of infinity carved on them but what made them special was the words written inside the infinity lines.

In one loop of the first bracelet was written, ’Cherry’s’ and in the second loop’s line was written ’Jie’ while on the second bracelet in the same pattern was written, ’Rain’s Baby’.

He opened his mouth to say something but could find neither words nor his voice. He looked up to see her nervously waiting for his response. "Do you like it?" She voiced out her uncertainty.

Ye Jie didn’t answer her question with words instead he pulled her towards himself and planted a long kiss on her lips. The long kiss slowly turned into a deep one as they started losing themselves in each other all over again.

Before he would lose himself completely in her, Ye Jie pulled away a bit. Face-to-face, the tips of their nose brushed together as he spoke in a low voice, "Just like I love you. I love everything that comes with you. Even your forgetfulness." Xu Mey grinned goofily which didn’t last long as he held her face and caressed her bottom lip with his thumb.

Xu Mey gulped down looking into his deep brown eyes that made her feel dizzy and hot once again. She tried to pull away and suggested, "Let me put this on for you."

Ye Jie didn’t tease her and extended his hand in front of her. She took the bracelet with ’Cherry’s Jie’ written on it and made him wear it. As she helped him with the bracelet, he held her hands in his own and looked straight into her eyes with indescribable emotion.

"Baby, I’m in awe," He started speaking in his husky tone, "Not just with the fact that you’re so beautiful but also with the fact that a beautiful person like you is all mine to keep for the rest of my life." Xu Mey felt a blush creeping up her face as he went on, "I heard about miracles but never believed in them and yet you became my miracle. You found me who was lost and slowly, with your mysterious smiles pulled at my heartstrings making them play out a tune that only you could hear." Tears started pooling in her eyes as she looked at the sincere smile on his face. "You became the answer for a person like me who always kept looking for answers in life. I always believed that love is all about being patient and not proud. But whenever I’m with you, I become the proudest person in the world and oddly enough, I’d love to boast about my wife to the whole world as well. And I won’t even feel any shame for flaunting you around." Xu Mey chuckled a bit as a tear seeped out of her eye. "I want to laugh, I want to love and most of all I want to cherish this life with you and all of this is because of you. You walked into my life and dared me to see the dreams that had you in them and I did. Day by day, every day... My dreams are all about you... With you... You are and will always be the love of my life... My reasons for dreams... My reason for living and I’d love to keep you right beside me as my soulmate and most of all, as my one and only, Cherry Wife."

Xu Mey was in between laughing and crying as he finished speaking or more like making this vow. It was like he spoke all the vows one would do on their wedding day.

Ye Jie wiped her tears with the back of the hand and said, "Baby, can you not cry please?" Xu Mey nodded but couldn’t help sobbing at the way his voice warmed her heart. She encircled her arms around his neck and buried her face in his neck.

Ye Jie rubbed her back softly trying to soothe her. After a while, her hiccups seized and he heard her hoarse voice, "I never thought in my life that I’d find someone who’d be willing to pick up my shattered and scattered self. You showed me that beauty doesn’t exist in the picture perfect things, it can exist in a whithered rose and fading fireworks. The only condition is; one has to have a person to share it with them." She pulled away herself and her soft hands palmed his face saying, "Ah-Jie, you made me realize that broken people like me can also love and be loved. You made me want to anticipate everything. I even started anticipating the moment when your eyes would look at me again and what emotions and feelings I’d find in them. You taught me what freedom is. Not from the world but from my own self. You freed me and made me want to fly high." Ye Jie had a content smile plastered on his lips as he listened to her voice that felt like a tinkling glass and her words were akin to a lover’s kiss.

She took a pause to gather her thoughts before she added, "Jie, I need you in my life for the rest of it... I know I’m impulsive, impatient, rude, blunt, and most of all, forgetful. But I feel blessed that a man like you who could have found someone way better than me had fallen for me. I never took myself to be the luckiest girl but with you in my life, I don’t think anyone can win in luck from me anymore. I love you and I am willing to scream it to the world that I love you. And I’d gladly announce it to the whole world that you are my husband. Mine. One and only. Forever!"

She sealed her vow with a kiss on his lips taking him by surprise. As the moonlight cascaded inside and fell on her face, it made her appear ethereal. Well, to him, she had always been ethereal.
