Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 139 - President Xu, Mr. Jacob

*Flashback To The Morning*

After dropping Xu Mey at Vintage, Ye Jie drove towards the hospital. As he entered the hospital room, he saw Azalea looking at Ru like she had met her Prince Charming.

Ru held Azalea’s hand to massage her pressure points to ease up the stiffness in Azalea’s muscles. Her mind was in better condition but her body was too weak and she couldn’t talk without getting tired. Azalea stared at Ru’s green eyes drooped to focus to her hand while Ru’s perfect long lashes were making a shadow. "You’re really handsome, Doctor," Azalea said in her sweet voice. Her voice didn’t have the same hoarseness as yesterday.

Ru lifted her eyes and saw the look in Azalea’s eyes. "First, don’t call me a doctor. Second, stop with those dewy eyes. Your brother will murder me if he saw it."

"I already am seeing it." Ru stiffened a bit before leaving Azalea’s hand and looking at Ye Jie.

"Hi, Jie! I’m not flirting at all." Ru tried to explain herself still using her deep voice like a male.

Ye Jie shook his head while clicking his tongue. "How can I believe the biggest flirt of the century?"

"Now, this is not fair with me. It’s like you’re blaming me for even breathing." Ru said with a scowl.

Ye Jie chuckled. "How’s my sister?" He asked.

"See for yourself," Ru replied.

"I’m feeling much better, Jie Ge-Ge. My throat is not stinging and my muscles are not feeling stiff. Also, my mind is not fuzzy anymore." Azalea counted all the things with her smiling face.

Ye Jie walked closer to her and said, "That’s very good." Then he looked at Ru. "But Zelie, you should stay away from this hypocrite here. This person can only break people. Fixing them is very rare for this one."

Ru smiled to herself. "Is he a flower boy who likes to break hearts?" Azalea asked like a curious little kid.

Ye Jie patted Azalea’s head and replied, "No... Breaking heart is not his nature. This one likes to break people as a whole."

A pleasantly alluring laugh spread in the silent room. Ye Jie and Azalea both looked at Ru who had dropped her head back to laugh out loud. "Best friend, didn’t I tell you that hearts are dangerous to play with? Hearts carry the burden of feelings and I really don’t have the courage to play with that kind of burdens. Breaking people is a lot more fun." Ru’s voice was still deep and lazy. Her face was smiling but it looked like hiding a storm behind it.

"And you, my best friend’s precious sister," Ru turned to Azalea who was curiously peering at her. "Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t be scared of having a broken heart. Be scared of not having a heart at all. Because a broken heart can at least remind you that you’re alive with pain. But an empty heart is just numb. It can’t feel anything at all. Your brother is right, you should keep your distance from me because I fall into the second category; an empty heart one." With that, Ru left Azalea and Ye Jie alone in the room.

Azalea was deeply thinking about what Ru said and Ye Jie saw that. "Zelie, stop thinking." He said and made her look at himself. "You won’t be able to comprehend that person’s words this easily. Just think that he’s crazy. Okay?"

Looking into Ye Jie’s eyes, Azalea nodded her head and smiled at him. "Do you want to talk to your parents?" He asked after some hesitation.

"No..." Ye Jie frowned at her response. "I can’t talk to them. Especially not daddy. He’ll instantly know that I’m unwell. And then, he’ll make everything too big of an issue. I can’t deal with that yet. Let me get a little better."

"But we have to tell them about the accident." Ye Jie said in a bit lower voice.

Azalea held his hand and said, "Ge-Ge, it’s better to avoid talking about my accident for now. Trust me, mom and dad will flip. And even more than them, grandpa and grandma are going to flip. Until you’re not ready to be officially my brother, I don’t want them hearing about it at all." Ye Jie reluctantly agreed to her demand.

He wanted to spend some more time with Azalea so, he decided to take her out of the room for some fresh air. He was walking around with Azalea on the wheelchair when his assistant’s call came. After some time, Qi Guan himself came to Ye Jie.

"What’s so urgent?" Ye Jie asked right in front of Azalea.

"Sir, Vintage Gems is holding an exhibition tonight. They have invited the CEO of Glow Gemstones." Qi Guan informed him courteously.

"Tell them, I can’t come." Ye Jie replied without any interest. Qi Guan nodded but didn’t leave. "Is there something else?"

Qi Guan nodded and stretched the iPad in hand towards Ye Jie. Ye Jie frowned but took it from him. There were news articles on the screen. The headlines caught Ye Jie’s attention: ’Vintage Gems low-profile President Xu is actually fond of PDA?’ and ’President Xu in her Handsome mysterious boyfriend’s arms.’

It was very rare to know anything about President Xu at all. "Sir, these headlines were posted at 6 in the morning yesterday and were taken down in less than an hour." Qi Guan informed him further but Ye Jie wasn’t paying attention. His eyes were stuck on the photos attached in the articles.

Although the faces were hidden how could Ye Jie not recognize the girl he held in his own arms. Whose every movement had become familiar to him. His eyes were glued to those photos as a million things ran through his mind. ’Xu Mey hugged me in front of Vintage’ building. This is definitely me and her in the photos. But what’s with President Xu? President Xu... Xu Mey... President Xu? Xu Mey?’ At this sudden link, Ye Jie’s mind froze completely.

"Qi Guan, tell them that CEO of Glow Gemstones will be there at the exhibition tonight." Qi Guan didn’t know what changed in a moment but he still bowed and left.

"Ge-Ge, you never liked going to such parties," Azalea remarked looking at Ye Jie weirdly. "Is your girlfriend going to be there?"

He smiled wickedly and said, "Not girlfriend... Apparently, my wife is going to be there."

Azalea’s eyes widened with shock. "Ge! Did you get married? I told you I don’t like that stupid girlfriend’s of yours and you still married her?"

Ye Jie looked at her making a crying face. He flicked her forehead and said, "Aiyo! Zelie, I got married but not to my girlfriend. I’ll introduce you to my wife soon. But tonight, I need to introduce myself to another version of my wife. I need to surprise her. Or maybe I’m the one who’s going to be surprised." Azalea didn’t understand the meaning but she knew that he must have his reasons for asking her to wait.
