Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

While Xu Mey was happily chatting away with her friends, suddenly she felt a tug at her arm as she was dragged to a corner by Ye Jun.

"What?" She questioned while squinting her eyes.

He held her shoulders and twisted her body a bit to turn her towards where Zhu Chen was smiling along with Ye Jie. "Would you mind telling me how that man over there seems like the old version of my brother?"

Xu Mey’s eyes went round and she started scratching the back of her head sheepishly. "About that... Go and ask your brother." She tried to shirk all the responsibility but Ye Jun wasn’t planning on letting her escape so easily.

"Sis, don’t try to run and just answer me," he was going crazy thinking about the possibility in his mind.

"Jun, you’re smart and I know that your mind already knows who he is. Now, please don’t ask me anything. Because I already told you that I won’t be the one talking about this with you." She answered crisply but calmly.

Ye Jun pursed his lips as his shoulders drooped down. "You’re telling me that my mind is absolutely right?" For some reason, he wanted her to say no and yet his mind wanted her to say yes.

"Jun, it’s better that you talk to Ah-Jie. It’s time you both come clean anyway. So, look for him," she took a pause before adding, "But after this party. Don’t think about spoiling his mood right now."

"I’m not that stupid," Ye Jun defended himself.

Xu Mey shrugged her shoulders not paying heed to his last words and came back to He Jian’s side.

While Ye Jie was stuck between the elders, he didn’t mind it at all. Their conversations were livelier making him feel calm.

"Let’s cut the cake." He Jian’s mother announced. "Everyone gather around."

Holding the knife in his hand, Ye Jie looked around at the tandem of people, trying to find a certain someone. Catching his line of sight, He Jian’s mother laughed as she went up to Xu Mey and pulled her up to Ye Jie’s side saying, "Aiyo, Xiao Mey! How can you stand so far from your husband? He wants you by his side."

Ye Jie smiled while Xu Mey could only blush since there was the whole wave of "Ohhh!!" going around in the crowd. Ye Jie kept staring at Xu Mey’s bright red face with tenderness his eyes.

"Come on! Enough with that lovey-dovey moment. Cut the cake already, my sweet tooth is craving for that cake," Azalea shouted loud making everyone chuckle.

"Behave yourself!" Azalea received a light slap on her shoulder from her mother making her pout.

"Did I say anything wrong? They are simply making us singles feel miserable." Azalea spoke righteously.

"Zelie, shut up!" He Susu glared at her daughter making Azalea seal her lips tight.

After the ceremony of cake cutting, everyone went back to chatting in their respective groups.

"Happy birthday, man!" Ye Jie’s old friend Ming Qu gave him a bro hug.

"Thanks!" Ye Jie said. He wasn’t surprised to see Ming Qu since he was Wu Wang’s brother in law, there was no odd thing for him to show up here.

"Where is Xiao Xia?" Wu Wang inquired about his sister from Ming Qu.

"Well, she’s right there," Ming Qu pointed towards the place all the middle-aged ladies were huddled up.

"I can’t believe that she still enjoys herself between old people." Wu Wang shook his head in disbelief.

While they were chatting away, a figure clad in an aquamarine gown came up beside them and smiled at Ye Jie saying, "Happy birthday, Ge-Ge!" Ye Jie looked at his cousin, Zhou Qi and smiled brightly as he thanked her.

Her appearance caused a change in Ming Qu’s expression as he excused himself away from them. But this certain detail wasn’t unnoticed by Wu Wang. He already had noticed the way Zhou Qi’s body stiffened when Ming Qu spoke up to say, "I’ll be right back." But the worst reaction was of Ming Qu who simply ran away from her.

When Zhou Qi went to stand beside Ye Jun, Xu Mey came to Ye Jie scowling, "What is she doing here?"

"Baby, she’s my cousin. Obviously, Ye Jun must have told her about this." Ye Jie answered seemingly amused by the way her face was scrunched up. "You’re not very fond of her, huh?"

"Humph! Fond? I hate her!" Xu Mey answered straightforwardly and stomped away. Ye Jie hadn’t seen her this irritated by someone’s presence before, so he found it quite amusing.

Xu Mey went up to Wu Wang with a sad look saying, "Wang-Ge, I didn’t know that she’d be here. I didn’t call her. I’m sorry!"

Wu Wang smiled at her reaction and said, "Mey-Mey, it doesn’t matter. It’s been a long time. I’m over it."

Xu Mey rolled her eyes saying, "As if I don’t know you." Wu Wang tousled her hair lightly but didn’t answer her. He knew that Xu Mey could see through his lie but he couldn’t help it. He had to lie.

Yes, it affected him greatly whenever Zhou Qi came before his eyes! But what could he do? Even after 8 years, his heart was still affected. And he couldn’t even do anything about it. As they say, love might not last forever but sad love... it sticks with you till the day you die.

Wu Wang was trying to live his life by the rule of, ’Sad things happen. They do. But we don’t have to live sad forever.’ And because of this rule, he always laughed before everyone trying to evade the sadness in his heart.

No matter if she had given him a million reasons to hate her, he just couldn’t bring himself to hate her. Because if he could just let a single moment of their breakup slip away from his mind, everything else was just too perfect to be true. But sometimes, a single moment can overshadow the rest of the good ones.
