Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 216 - Worthy Defense

Xu Mey left for office earlier than Ye Jie since she had some important meeting at the office. Ye Jie was sitting at the breakfast table when he noticed the absence of a, particularly cheery person. "Where is Azalea?" Ye Jie asked the maid.

"Miss hasn’t come out of her room," the maid answered courteously.

Ye Jie furrowed his brows and went upstairs. He knocked at her door for a couple of times but no answer came. His frown deepened and he twisted the doorknob to open the door.

The room was cascaded in darkness as the thick curtains were draped over the windows. He saw Azalea sprawled on the bed with her head dangling from the edge. "What are you doing?" He asked.

Azalea opened her eyes and tilted her face to see Ye Jie. She spontaneously got up from the bed and came running towards him excitingly saying, "Ge-Ge, you’re back! It’s good that you’re back. I have planned so much for your birthday."

Ye Jie shook his head at her saying, "Zelie, I don’t want to celebrate my birthday. Also, I have something important to discuss with you. Come down after freshening up." Azalea was confused but she didn’t question him and nodded her head.

After a while when Azalea came down her face looked fresher than her earlier half-dead look. "What do you have to talk about?" She questioned Ye Jie taking her bowl of rice.

Ye Jie put his chopsticks down and started, "I think it’s time that you meet your parents."

Azalea was taken aback by this sudden suggestion and choked on the rice. She coughed profusely and Ye Jie had to rub her back to soothe her. She didn’t choke because it was an unreasonable suggestion, instead, she was shocked because she had been thinking about the same thing for the past two days.

She’d been always close to her dad and from last night, she’d been missing him to the extreme. Even in sleep, she felt like calling her dad over and over again. That’s why she planned on talking to Ye Jie about it.

"Okay!" She answered to Ye Jie taking him by surprise.

"Really? Then you’re okay if I bring you to them tonight?" Ye Jie asked to confirm again.

Azalea smiled saying, "Yes... Any day is good and I think there is no better day than today." ’Since it’s your birthday and mom will be super upset. I think me going today will bring some joy to her.’ She left the last part to her own self.

Ye Jie nodded his head and said, "Then you pack up your stuff. I’ll pick you up at night." Azalea nodded in acknowledgment.

They both ate the rest of breakfast in silence and Ye Jie left the house.

When he left, Azalea made a call to He Jian, "Jian Ge, I need your help with something."

"What can I help you with?" He Jian asked with interest.

"Today’s Jie Ge-Ge’s birthday and he wants to surprise mom and dad by bringing me to them but I want you to prepare a surprise for him in return," Azalea spoke in a bright way.

"What surprise are you thinking of?" A smug smile bloomed on her adorable face.

Meanwhile, Xu Mey planned to visit Jun Li Na after her meeting. When she drove to Ye Jun’s apartment building, she parked the car and made her way towards his apartment.

After a single doorbell, Ye Jun opened the door and was surprised to see Xu Mey. "Sis, what are you doing here?"

"What do you mean? I came to see Jun Li Na, what’s wrong with that?" Xu Mey pushed him aside and walked inside.

Then her eyes fell on Jun Li Na sitting on a wicker chair in the balcony. Strands of hair were scattered around her on the floor. She tilted her face and her eyes caught sight of a scissor in Ye Jun’s hand. She smiled to herself at how Ye Jun was helping Jun Li Na in cleaning the mess that she had made of her own hair.

"There’s nothing wrong. I just expected you to spend this day with bro." Ye Jun grumbled at the side.

"I’ll spend time with Ah-Jie in the evening. What’s the big deal?" Xu Mey paced up to Jun Li Na and crouched down before her. Ye Jun was left perplexed at the side with her reply.

’Bro’s birthday is not a big deal? I thought it was a huge deal.’ Ye Jun asked himself raising his brows.

"Hey, Li Na! Wanna see what your friend did just for you. I bet it’ll make you happy." Xu Mey was all smiles as she stared at Jun Li Na.

Jun Li Na didn’t say anything but Xu Mey’s infectious smile did affect her as she smiled faintly as well. "Look at this," Xu Mey passed some documents to Jun Li Na. She frowned and looked at the papers in her hands.

"Divorce Agreement!" Jun Li Na spoke out softly.

Xu Mey smiled at her saying, "After you sign this, I’ll make sure to turn Lu Ge’s life into a living hell. Will you sign it?"

Jun Li Na tilted her face to look at Ye Jun staring at her intently. His eyes were imploring her. Looking at her eyes, Ye Jun smiled and it reassured Jun Li Na. Without any hesitation, she took the pen and scribbled her name on the papers. "That’s like my girl." Xu Mey patted her head and stood up.

"I’ll come to see you later." Xu Mey said and made her way out of his apartment with a triumphant smile on her lips.

Ye Jun frowned as he chewed on the inside of his mouth. Thinking of something, he placed his hand on Xu Mey’s shoulder. She halted in her steps and turned with her inquiring gaze. "Sis, you do know what today is, right?" Ye Jun asked uncertainly.

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t tell me that you have no idea that today is bro’s birthday," Xu Mey’s eyes widened at his words.

"What?" She screeched making Ye Jun wince a bit.

"As I expected, you really didn’t know. Wow!" Ye Jun shook his head in disappointment.

"Damn!" Xu Mey cursed out realizing how she forgot such an important thing. But in her defense... Oh, well, damn! I don’t even have a worthy defense!
