Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 121 - Brother-In-Law Is Meticulous

From Wednesday night to Sunday morning, Xu Mey and Ye Jie stayed in Imperial City. Since Ye Jie took special care of Xu Mey, her ankle was much better. Both of them drove back to City Star and reached the Peach Estates in the afternoon.

When they set foot inside the house, Xu Mey entered her study room and asked Ye Jie to not disturb her at all. She had been away from work for the whole week and she had much to catch up on. Vintage was opening stores in Paris and she had to see the design plans and business plans herself to feel assured.

Ye Jie had just finished up taking a shower when he heard the doorbell and he had to come downstairs. The person standing at the door was not grinning like usual instead he had a black face filled with a grievance. "Bro, how can you do this to me? Why didn’t you tell me that you came back? I had so much to tell you. There are so many things that happened while you were gone. Sis-in-law got hurt but that’s just one thing, more shocking thing is-" He was interrupted when Ye Jie held his lips to make him shut up.

"You knew about your sister-in-law’s injury and you didn’t bother telling me about it?" That was the only thing that caught Ye Jie’s attention.

Ye Jun felt wronged and hurriedly said, "I wanted to tell you. Believe me! But sis-in-law didn’t allow me to."

"She said and you listened?" Ye Jie was most familiar with his brother and he knew how much Ye Jun avoided being obedient.

"Bro, she said that if I will tell you then you’ll be worried for no reason at all. When she put it this way, I had to listen to her." Ye Jun was desperately trying to make his brother believe him.

"Jun," Ye Jie slapped the back of his head making him wince in pain and said, "stop making excuses to me."

Ye Jie’s insinuation broke Ye Jun’s heart and he humphed before turning away to leave and yet halted a few steps away from the door. "I was going to tell you a shocking discovery about sis-in-law but now, I won’t say a word." Ye Jun turned his head away from Ye Jie and instead of walking towards the door came back inside to sprawl on the couch.

Ye Jie neither noticed on his words nor on his actions and ascended the stairs to dry his wet hair. Ye Jun looked around when he heard a door’s sound. "Oh look, it’s my most cunning sis-in-law." Ye Jun whisper-yelled looking at Xu Mey making her perplexed.

Seeing her confused look, Ye Jun added, "I never thought that my sis-in-law would be inexplicably precocious."

Xu Mey squinted her eyes and awkwardly said, "Thank you!"

"Don’t just thank me yet..." He looked around to see whether his brother was around or not and after confirming that Ye Jie was still upstairs said, "President Xu."

Xu Mey’s body stiffened as her eyes widened. She turned to see him crossing his arms over his chest with wrinkles on his forehead. "How did...?" She didn’t know how to say it but Ye Jun was meticulous today.

"When the next time you so flamboyantly walk on the golf course and throw something at someone’s face like a slap and a bracelet, do take note of your surroundings." Ye Jun was perceptibly amused to see that blanched look on Xu Mey’s face. She remembered the tandem of people on the golfing ground but she really didn’t pay attention to anyone there. How would she know that Ye Jun had some connection with Master Shuang?"

"Did you tell your...?" She again didn’t complete the question.

"I was planning on telling brother but then I thought you should be the one to tell him not me." He lied with a rightful stance. He only planned to not tell when Ye Jie slapped his head for no reason. But he didn’t want to accept that reason before Xu Mey at all.

When they both heard a door’s sound from upstairs, Xu Mey had to drag Ye Jun to her own study room. She locked the door and turned to look at him. "How do you know him?" She was referring to Fu Shuang and even Ye Jun understood that.

"I’ve known him since high school. And I know you from the past 4 years." Xu Mey frowned. "Remember that trip to Paris?" Xu Mey remembered it very well. That’s where she met Fu Shuang as President Xu for the first time. "I was there with Fu Shuang. I was there when he was dreamily enchanted by you on the Eiffel tower. I was with him when he followed you under the soft light of the moon. And I was also there when he left those red tulips in front of your hotel room."

"Why didn’t you recognize me then?" Xu Mey asked with curiosity.

"First, it was 4 years ago. Second, it was evening when I saw your side profile and even then that idiot Fu Shuang was blocking my view. He was afraid that I’d be charmed by you as well. Third, I never expected to meet you as the infamous Xu Mey of Xu Family." Ye Jun explained in detail as they kept silent for a long while. Ye Jun sighed tiredly. "Do you know that I might have not seen you in years but there has never been a week passed in which I didn’t hear about you?"

Xu Mey didn’t speak anything at all. "I thought Fu Shuang was obsessed with you like he always had been with other people or things. But I was wrong." He stopped talking for a bit and looked at Xu Mey with an indescribable look in his eyes. "Sis-in-law, you’ve been consistent in his life for the past four years. And even now, you don’t know how much he drank that night because of those slaps. He got alcohol poisoning and is still in the hospital."

"Jun, are you trying to tell me that I should sympathize with him? And give him hope when I already am in your brother’s life?"

"Noooo... I’m scared that his devotion might sway you. It’s not like you love my brother and I don’t want my brother to break again. It was hard enough for him the last time." Ye Jun was really concerned about his brother since he had seen how crazy Fu Shuang had been for Xu Mey. Any girl might get swayed with his moves. Especially when Fu Shuang had the history of getting what he wanted.

"Let me assure you of one thing. No matter what, Master Fu Shuang and I can never be together." Ye Jun saw sheer resolution in her eyes and it stunned him.

"What did he do to make you hate him so much?" He asked in a daze.

Xu Mey snickered. "Did you tell him that my full name is Xu Mey and I’m from the Xu family?" Ye Jun shook his head. "What he did is to ’Xu Mey’ while he’s obsessed with President Xu. His obsession has nothing to do with me. My life only has Ah Jie in it now. And I don’t plan on changing that at all."

Ye Jun didn’t know why but he believed her. Xu Mey took a deep breath and asked, "You were here to ask me the exact same question on Wednesday as well, right?"

"Yeah... I did... But then I changed the question tactfully." He replied. After a pause, he added, "I won’t ask you what he did to ’Xu Mey’ but sis-in-law, you need to look for me if he comes between you and bro."

Xu Mey smiled at him. "Relax, my brother-in-law, I’ll make sure to use you like a wall between Master Shuang and MeyJie."

"Huh? MeyJie?" Ye Jun scratched his head.

Xu Mey chuckled while ruffling his hair. "Xu Mey and Ye Jie as in MeyJie."

"Ooohhhh!" Ye Jun dragged the words with this happy realization. "Sis-in-law, I’m helping you keep your secret, I should get a reward."

"What do you want?"

"First, let me call you Sister Mey. Calling you, sis-in-law all the time feels weird. Second, make me something to eat but only when your ankle is alright." He stated his reward terms.

"Okay fine. I’ll make you whatever you want."
