Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 158 - A Precious Piece

Good moments are like a bonbon, they might end but leaves behind a sweet taste to linger on one’s tongue. That sweet taste becomes a part of one’s memory reminding him of good times.

Some people are like the bright sun, they are alone enough to brighten up someone’s dark world. Like Ye Jie had become the sun of Xu Mey’s dark life.

Ye Jie left the house in a hurry leaving Xu Mey behind. Xu Mey tried to walk but found the unwelcomed soreness between her legs a bit worrisome.

When Xu Mey looked at her own reflection in the mirror, she couldn’t help but blush to see her body painted with red bite marks. Especially the bright ones right above her bosom.

But a sudden thought, ’One shouldn’t be embarrassed by the things that made him feel good about himself.’ made her shrug her shoulders nonchalantly. The hot shower made her body’s soreness to dissipate a bit.

It took her 30 minutes to get dressed and cover up all the visible red marks on her neck. She planned on hailing a cab to work but when she walked outside, she noticed Ye Jun waiting for her while leaning on his car.

Upon seeing her, he waved excitedly and said, "Good morning, sis!" Xu Mey squinted her eyes at him accusingly but didn’t say anything. "Come I’ll drop you to the office, today."

Xu Mey silently climbed inside his car and looked outside the window.

While driving, Ye Jun kept stealing glances at her which were not unnoticed by Xu Mey. "What is it? Just speak!"

Ye Jun cleared his throat and started, "I don’t know but..." he gave a thoughtful look and added, "You look a bit different for some reason."

Xu Mey rolled her eyes at him and thought, ’Look different? I even feel different you dumbo! But why am I feeling different? And what changed exactly? Is this feeling of being reborn? No, no! This must be the feeling of discovering oneself.’ She bobbed her head up and down slowly in a trance

Ye Jun saw the way she was lost in dreamland. With one hand still on the steering wheel, he stretched the other hand in front of Xu Mey’s eyes and waved to get her out of her daze. "Sis?"

"Ha? What? Oh... What were you saying?" She asked again still not completely aware of her surroundings.

Ye Jun frowned at her reaction and said, "We are here." Xu Mey looked around to see that they were indeed right before Vintage building.

Before disembarking from the car, she turned to Ye Jun and said, "If you have nothing special to do at the office, come inside I have to talk to you." Although her tone felt odd to Ye Jun he didn’t think much about it and drove the car to the underground parking.

When Xu Mey entered the building, she noticed a familiar face waiting at the reception area and when he looked at her, a smile bloomed on that familiar face as he came closer to her, "Hello, Xiao Mey!"

"Dr." Xu Mey bit her tongue at her mistake and said, "Uncle Chen, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Chen smiled at her and said, "I came to see you actually. I need your help with something."

"What are we waiting here for then? Come with me." She led the way for Zhu Chen to her office. Even though she was surprised that he came to look for her on his own accord, she didn’t show it on her face.

In her office, she gave instructions to Qin Hao, "Bring some Blue Mountain Coffee and when my little brother comes up, ask him to wait in the other room." Qin Hao courteously bowed and walked out of her office.

Then she turned to see Zhu Chen who was comfortably sitting at the couch with his eyes darting around the room. She took a seat at the single sofa and asked, "So, what can I help you with?"

"Actually it’s my 32nd anniversary next month and I’ve been looking for a gift for my Susu. But I couldn’t find anything. One of my colleagues suggested that I should buy a personalized piece of Vintage and I liked the idea. Then He Jian told me that you’re the President of Vintage. So, I decided to ask for your help." As he spoke all the details in one breath, she was stuck at the fact that he was wandering around just to buy a gift and that too for their 32nd anniversary.

"So, you want me to design something for you?" He nodded agreeing with her. "Hmm... Tell me about what do you have in mind." She picked up the notepad and pencil from the side table while Qin Hao came inside with the coffee and left after placing it on the table.

Zhu Chen scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "That’s what I don’t know. I mean I think I know what I want and yet I don’t know." He sighed. "It’s confusing, right?"

Xu Mey shook her head. "Not at all." She contemplated a bit with the pencil between her teeth and said, "How about you share some precious memories of yours to let me get an idea?"

"Ah? That’s a good idea." He smiled but it soon faltered. "But we have so many precious memories. Which one should I tell you?"

"How about the one that makes you feel warmest even now?" She suggested.

"The warmest one?" He smiled thinking about something and said, "Maple Trees."

"Huh?" She was perplexed.

He explained, "There was a time when Susu was under mental stress and stopped talking. She didn’t say a word for 2 years. During that time, she wrote some words for me on a maple leaf. That’s one of the warmest memory to me." Xu Mey’s mind held millions of questions but she didn’t ask a single one. It was too soon to pry into their matter.

"Okay, I can work with a maple leaf."

"I feel weird asking President of the company for such a small matter." He voiced out his thoughts.

"I call you Uncle Chen that means you’re just as much important to me as much Uncle Kun is. Don’t feel burdened. I don’t mind at all." Seeing her sincere smile, Zhu Chen relaxed and picked the cup of coffee to take a sip.
