Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Xu Mey was immersed in dealing with the office projects that she didn’t realize when the time flew by. It was only when her phone rang that she looked up from the pile of work on her desk.

Holding the phone in hand, Xu Mey was surprised. Not because of the call from Ye Jie but because the call was exactly at the same time as it was the previous 2 days.

"Hi, dear wife! Are you ready for our dinner date?" His disembodied voice was charming with a hint of coyness.

"Where are we going?" Xu Mey asked her own question.

"I called to give you the address. It’s not like I can pick you from work." Obviously, he was trying to make her feel guilty and surprisingly it worked.

"You can pick me from the E Road." She didn’t invite him too far from office but not too near as well.

Ye Jie instantly got excited. "Okay, I’ll pick you at 6:30 then?"

"Sure." There was nothing else to continue talking about. So, they said their goodbyes for now.

Yu Kim was more efficient than one could describe her to be. She arrived exactly on time with all the stuff needed. She had many bags in her hand. There were plenty of clothes, shoes, accessories, and make-up. Xu Mey was a bit scared at the way, Yu Kim was prepared.

Yu Kim’s own mother was a famous stylist in Korea and she picked up some of her traits. She was extremely good at changing ones whole outer look. She could change a beggar into a royalty.

But with Xu Mey, she didn’t need to do much.

-At 6:30 P.M around E Road-

Ye Jie wasn’t driving his usual Maybach. Instead, he was in his favorite Porsche. The silver-grey Porsche was a striking match with his suit. Even the sleek body was like his own brown hair.

He arrived early to wait for her like a gentleman. His eyes were wandering around when they fell on a slim and slender figure walking towards him. Ye Jie’s brain was frozen. Oh, No. There were fireworks in his mind.

Xu Mey was wearing a high-waisted black leather pant, a black v-neckline top exposing her extremely fair jade-like skin and those collarbones. She matched it along with a white Zip Detail Blazer and her black high heels Chelsea Boots completed her look. The make-up on her beautiful face was minimalistic. There was only a faint red colored lipstick that was most noticeable on her face. Her black lustrous hair had soft curls that made her waist-length hair to fell on her mid back.

The most eye-catching detail was that almost identical golden rose around her neck. The rose on that pendant was nearly like his own rose brooch. While Ye Jie was in a daze, Xu Mey was already standing before him. His daze broke with a jolt and he opened the passenger seat door for her mechanically.

They both didn’t talk much on the road. It took Ye Jie almost 45 minutes to reach the destination. When Xu Mey saw the board of the restaurant, she was surprised herself. "We’re eating hotpot?"

They were standing before the City’s most popular hotpot restaurant. He chose it very carefully. Since he didn’t know her likes or dislikes. He only knew that she likes spicy things. And when it comes to spicy food, hotpot has to take the crown.

"You don’t like it?" Ye Jie was nervous.

Xu Mey chuckled. "Like it? I love it! Thank you so much for not going to a fancy restaurant." Ye Jie was content to see the smile on her face.

As they made their way inside, they caught a lot of attention from the people. After all, they both were strikingly beautiful in their own ways and together they were just dazzling.

"Are they a couple?" They heard someone’s voice.

"They seem to be." There was envy in that voice.

"How can such perfect looking people end up together? Isn’t it bit unfair to normal people like us?" This voice was a bit like blaming them for being so beautiful.

"Aiyo, Some people are just meant to be in the spotlight with just their looks."

"Do you think they are dating?"

"Nonsense. Can’t you see the rings in their hands? They are definitely married."

The voices were getting louder which made both Ye Jie and Xu Mey uncomfortable. Luckily, Ye Jie had already booked a private room. So, they were brought to their VIP room on the third floor. The room was spacious with plant pots and paintings. It gave a complete ancient feeling to oneself.

Ye Jie pulled out a chair for Xu Mey elegantly and took a seat opposite of her himself. They both sat in silence after giving the order. The alcohol was brought before the ingredients for hotpot and Xu Mey had gulped down a whole lot of alcohol to stop her fidgeting.

Ye Jie wanted to stop her but realized that she had a thing for alcohol. "Is alcohol that good that you like drowning yourself in it?"

Xu Mey looked up at his face. Even after downing 2 bottles, her eyes were clear, sparkly. "It’s not that alcohol is good. It’s just a reminder." There was no hint of being drunk in her speech.

"A reminder? Of What?"

Xu Mey tilted her head in a thinking manner. "A reminder that life is bitter." She chuckled. "Actually, life and alcohol are not that different. Both are bitter. But we love both. No matter how much life gets bitter, the one who gets used to it doesn’t want to die. And no matter how much alcohol gets bitter, the one who gets used to its bitterness also doesn’t want to leave it."

"Which bitterness are you trying to remember? Life? Or Alcohol’s?"

Xu Mey looked down at her hand specifically at her wrist that had a tattoo on it. It was a simple, clean tattoo with just a single word; Scars.

"I think, I’m trying to remember the bitterness of life at the moment." Her voice was very soft but it didn’t lose its original charm.

"Why?"

"Because of you..." She pointed her index finger at him.
