Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 60 - Youre My Responsibility



"So, you’re allergic to pineapple?" The doctor clad in his white coat asked her professionally.

"I am. But usually, the reaction is not this bad. After eating pineapple, I only have a minor rash and that’s about it. This time it’s a bit excessive with all the swelling up." Xu Mey explained in detail with a frown on her face.

"Are you allergic to something else?" The short doctor asked again.

"Yeah, I have an allergy to peanuts as well." Xu Mey replied honestly.

Her blood test results came back and the doctor narrowed his eyes at the report in his hand. "Is everything okay, doctor?" Ye Jie who was quiet all this while asked impatiently.

The doctor looked at him and replied, "It’s good that you brought her to the hospital. Otherwise, there were chances of anaphylaxis." Ye Jie furrowed his brows at the medical jargon. "In simple words, she could have gone into shock." Ye Jie’s eyes widened. "We found traces of peanuts in her blood along with pineapple. She’s lucky that the reaction is mild otherwise it could have been life-threatening."

Ye Jie’s heart took a blow. And his anxiety slowly turned into fury. ’I’m definitely going to make you pay for this Mrs. Fu Lan.’ He thought to himself. Xu Mey’s reaction was a lot calmer than him. Saying that she expected it would not be wrong.

The doctor administered an IV and gave some anti-allergy meds to her. She was advised to stay for a few hours for observation. Ye Jie sat right beside her bed as he held her hand in his own. Looking at her bright red face, his heart was breaking. His eyes never left her face and hers couldn’t look away from his face.

The nurse who asked for her name before came to clean up her wound on the side of her neck. Xu Mey closed her eyes when the nurse applied the disinfectant. She didn’t wince in pain but Ye Jie could feel her body stiffen up. He drew circles at the back of her hand with his thumb to soothe her.

The nurse had short hair with small eyes. Even after cleaning up her wound, she was constantly looking at them. "They seem to be madly in love." The nurse beside her commented with a sigh.

"They match each other perfectly. Both have the features of a top star." She added.

"Don’t compare them with stars. They have an air of nobility and supremacy. Stars can’t have that." The short-haired nurse commented. The others around her nodded as they watched how Ye Jie’s eyes held tenderness while Xu Mey’s were blank.

"You should go home. Don’t tire yourself. I’ll be fine here." Xu Mey told Ye Jie as she saw how worn out he looked.

"No... I don’t want to leave you here alone." Ye Jie replied without thinking.

"I can just call Li Qiao." Ye Jie scowled at her suggestion.

"I can’t leave my wife’s care up to others. You’re my responsibility and I still have enough exuberance to take care of my wife." Ye Jie replied controlling his emotions. Xu Mey chose to stay quiet.

Xu Mey quietened up after that. Ye Jie stayed beside her in silence but in silence, there was an assurance that he was there for her. Silence speaks louder than words. It was exactly that silent assurance that let Xu Mey put her guard down. She never liked the smell of disinfectants and medicine in the hospitals but today, she didn’t feel that repulsive.

Ye Jie’s phone broke that peaceful silence. Seeing the caller id, Ye Jie frowned and rejected the call. The call came again after a minute. "You should pick the call up. It could be important." Xu Mey urged him. Ye Jie stood up and walked out of the E.R. to take the call.

When Ye Jie left the Xu Residence in fury, Fu Lan was seething in wrath. She glared at Xu Liqing. "Why are you so dumb? Why did you do that? I wanted Ye Jie to have a good impression of you. Look what you did."

"Mom... I didn’t do anything. It was all that sl*t Xu Mey’s doing." Liqing refuted meekly as the tears fell down her face in a stream.

"You want me to believe that the girl I turned into a retard suddenly turned into a cunning witch? Talk with sensibility, Liqing." After chiding her own daughter Fu Lan left Xu Liqing alone.

’I’ll turn you into a liar’ Xu Mey’s words rang in her mind making her dig her nails in her palms.

So what if mom doesn’t believe me? Do you think Ye Jie will have a psychotic person like you? Let me show you what I can do. Xu Liqing was smoldered with indignation. She turned her laptop on and drafted an email with a video along with a few photos.

Then she called Ye Jie. Ye Jie wasn’t attending the call because it was Xu Liqing’s but then he decided to talk to her.

-In the corridor-

Before Ye Jie could say anything, Xu Liqing’s voice rang out from the other end. "Before cursing me, Mr. Ye Jie. I realized you don’t want to believe my words when I say that my sister is not good enough for you. But you just need proof. Why don’t you check your emails? I believe you’ll find it very interesting." She disconnected the call after saying her piece.

Ye Jie had no intention of listening to Xu Liqing’s words but the title of the email sent a few minutes ago broke his resolve. It read: ’Are you still proud of your psychotic wife?’

Ye Jie scowled and clicked to open the email. The moment he played the video, his mind went blank. Then the photos of some old reports and documents made his whole world shatter in front of his own eyes. He felt like the ground under his feet was slipping away slowly. And he had nothing to hold onto.
