Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

"Ah-Jie," Xu Mey’s face was stained with tears as she wrapped her arms around his neck and said in a choked up voice," My sensei is abandoning me."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ye Jie asked with confusion as he kept rubbing his hand on her back to soothe her.

"My sensei," Xu Mey’s voice broke in between. "He actually apologized to me. Can you believe that?"

"You didn’t want him to?" Ye Jie frowned a bit. ’Wasn’t she just sad because of Ru’s words?’

"No!" Xu Mey exclaimed. "He’s my sensei. He’s the only person in my life who had been honest with me. I know everybody loves me but all the other people always sugar-coat their words and never tell me the truth. But sensei was never like that. He had always been brutally honest with me. And I hated that about him." She took a pause to pull herself away from Ye Jie and sniffled a bit. "But his honesty was the thing that made me admire him as well. He had always been at a pinnacle for me. A place where he didn’t have to feel bad about what he say or do. Today, when he apologized, I felt like he’s breaking himself away from me. And I don’t like that feeling at all."

Ye Jie fell into deep thought. "What do you want now, baby?" He asked after much contemplation.

Xu Mey looked at him with her red eyes and replied, "I don’t want sensei to abandon me."

Ye Jie nodded and stood up as he offered his hand to her. Xu Mey looked at his hand and then at his face quizzically. "Come, I’ll take you to your sensei."

"Huh? Ah-Jie, sensei is the most difficult person to find. How are you gonna take me to him?" Xu Mey questioned rather innocently.

"Leave that to me. I’ll find him but," he paused and added after a sigh, "You won’t ask anything after seeing him."

Xu Mey was really skeptical about this. How could Ye Jie find her sensei? He only met her sensei once? And even though she trusted Ye Jie and believed in his capabilities, she also was familiar with her sensei. Nonetheless, she chose to hold his hand.

Ye Jie dragged her to his sports car and after settling her in the passenger seat, he took his own seat as the driver.

It took them 2 hours to drive to Imperial and during the ride, Ye Jie didn’t say a word to Xu Mey. He had been concentrating on driving without any distraction.

When Ye Jie parked the car that’s when Xu Mey noticed that they were somewhere in the mountains and there was only a small bamboo hut before them. There was no light in the hut or outside of it. Only the soft moonlight was illuminating the area making it rather eerie for Xu Mey’s liking since she was scared of ghosts.

"Ah-Jie," Xu Mey held Ye Jie’s arm as her eyes looked at the scary place. "Why are we here?"

Ye Jie patted the back of her head and replied, "Don’t worry. The person inside is scarier than ghosts. So, ghosts won’t waste their time here."

Before Xu Mey could react, the cabin before her lit up along with the pathway. Ye Jie led the way and was about to knock at the door when it opened and there stood a 182cm tall figure staring back at him with the beautiful emerald green eyes.

"You have got to be kidding with me! What now do you want me to bow to offer the apology?" Ru asked glaring at Ye Jie who in return rolled his eyes at her. But before he could answer, Ru bent her body at the 90-degree angle and said, "I’m sorry, Xu Mey. For saying such hars-"

Her words were cut off when Ye Jie pinched her arm with excessive force. Ru was caught off guard. "You! What? I apologized nah?"

"Sensei?" Xu Mey was in a daze. First because of seeing her sensei and second because of Ye Jie’s punch. ’This is insane! Ah-Jie pinched sensei and sensei is only glaring in retaliation? What am I missing here?’

"My wife thinks you’re abandoning her and that’s why you apologized," Ye Jie said plainly as looked back at Ru.

"Abandon? When did I say such a thing? And do you think this lord is that easy? I only apologized because of this jerk! Otherwise, this lord would never apologize until he feels like he’s at fault." Ru answered in her usual intimidating manner.

Xu Mey stared at Ye Jie in disbelief. ’Does Ah-Jie know sensei? If yes, then how? Since when? And why are they closer to each other than me?’ Her mind was reeling with questions.

"Don’t ask! I won’t be able to answer for now." Ye Jie answered her unasked questions. Then he turned to Ru and said, "Tell her that you’re not abandoning her. She’s been crying for such a long time."

Ru obediently turned to Xu Mey and said, "I’m not abandoning you. Actually, I can’t! Your husband will kill me otherwise."

Ye Jie held Xu Mey’s face in his hands and told her, "Baby, you heard that? No-one is abandoning you. Now, go back to the car and I’ll be right there with you." Xu Mey nodded in a daze and went back to the car.

Ye Jie stared intensely at Ru and said, "We need to talk."

"Why? Want to remind me again that she’s more important than me?" Ru retorted venomously.

"You used to read out Confucius sayings to me and one of those was, ’When anger arises, think of the consequences.’" Ye Jie spoke mildly.

Ru scoffed. "You should have remembered that saying when you lashed out on me without so much of a good reason. In our two decades of friendship, you always told me right from wrong and I listened. But we only fought two times and both of the times, your love interests were involved."

Ye Jie sighed loudly and fell on his knees making Ru’s eyes widen up.
