Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 245 - The Parting Gift

Xu Mey woke up quite late in the morning. She rubbed her eyes and the events of last night played before her eyes one-by-one. While she was gathering her thoughts, the bedroom door was pushed open and Ye Jie walked in with a small table full of food.

"Finally, you’re up! I thought you were planning on sleeping for the whole day." He said flippantly with a beautiful smile on his face.

Xu Mey kept staring at him for a while as her mind was thinking of many things. But she only had one question to ask. "How long have you known my sensei?"

Hearing her groggy voice, Ye Jie sighed and sat down on the bed right in front of her. "We have been friends for about 22 years now."

"22?" Xu Mey was surprised by this piece of information. "That’s a long time, eh!"

Ye Jie chuckled at her words. "That’s indeed been long enough."

"So, you guys must be like bros now, right?" Xu Mey asked curiously.

"Bros?" Ye Jie thought about the time when he met Ru. Indeed, he thought he found a bro for himself who knew after five years, he’d receive a huge blow when that bro turned out to be a ’girl’! "Yeah, very close bros actually." Both stayed quiet for a moment before Ye Jie asked, "Don’t you have any other question?"

Xu Mey pondered a bit and shook her head, "Nope! I’m good." Ye Jie was surprised but as he expected Xu Mey couldn’t stop her curiosity at all. "So, do you know anything about sensei that I don’t?"

Ye Jie ruffled her bed hair making them an even bigger mess. "There is a lot that you don’t know about your sensei." ’Your sensei being a female would be at the top of the list.’ He didn’t say the last words.

"For instance? Can’t you share some secrets with your baby?" Xu Mey blinked her eyes giving him an innocent look.

"Mm..." Ye Jie thought about the secrets of his best friend and realized that the list was too long. "Well, your sensei is a foodie you must know already, right?" Xu Mey nodded her head vigorously. That she sure knew. "But do you know that your sensei is an even bigger fan of sweets than the food itself?"

Xu Mey raised her brows. "Really? I have never seen him eat any sweets."

"Also, your sensei doesn’t like mobile phones at all."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because baby, he says that every problem in the modern age is created by this mobile phone."

"I knew he’s weird. Never thought he was this weird." Xu Mey remarked.

"Now, finish your breakfast. Fast. I’ll share more some other time." Ye Jie left her to eat her breakfast and went to his study downstairs.

Xu Mey was delighted to see her favorite food on the table and dug in. As if a reminder made her look for her phone and she immediately looked up the hot topics.

A triumphant smile bloomed on her face as she saw how Lu Insurance Company was left with no way out. She had no doubt in her sensei’s capabilities at all but she was still impressed, to say the least.

While she was enjoying her breakfast and online news, her phone rang.

"Hello!"

"Xiao Mey, I have a piece of news for you." Her father, Xu Cheng’s voice came from the other side.

"What is it, dad?" Her way of speaking with him had drastically changed even without her knowing it.

"Xu Liqing is pregnant. Also, she can’t abort the child at this point because of complications," this news came as a surprise even for her. ’Looks like even the heaven is working against Liqing now.’ she thought to herself.

"Also, Fu Lan is in a coma because of the vase that Xu Liqing attacked her with. She was in the surgery till morning but the doctors said that her chances of waking up are very bleak for now." Xu Cheng explained the whole situation to Xu Mey.

"So, what I heard was right. A person always receives his punishment right in this world. One way or another." Xu Mey spoke out softly as if talking to herself.

"For now, you can say that heaven is on your side." Xu Cheng replied to her tenderly.

"Heaven is sure on my side since I have so many people to love me." Xu Mey truly felt like that she was blessed to have so many people who warmed her world. She shouldn’t have spent her life ignoring this fact.

She always thought that it was her drive for hate that pushed her to live and become strong but today, she felt like it was always the love of people who encouraged her to live. And to fight. But until now, she had been fighting for herself. It was time to fight for those people who loved her.

"Also, I don’t know if it matters to you or not but Fu Shuang is leaving the country for good." Xu Cheng informed her before saying, "I thought you should know that." And he hung up the phone.

"Huh? That jerk, Master Shuang is again leaving without a goodbye. Such a hateful person he is!" Xu Mey grumbled to herself and in her grumbling, she saw that her phone had a voice message that she received early in the morning.

She clicked on the play button and Fu Shuang’s voice was heard. "Hey, little Mey! Guess where am I? No? Okay. I’ll tell you myself. I’m at the airport waiting to board the plane. This time I really wanted to see you before leaving but..." His voice broke and Xu Mey thought she heard a sniffle. "I don’t have the courage to see you. Not just because of my foolish relatives. Also, because I think I won’t be able to say goodbye to your face. You do know that I have loved you, right?" Xu Mey nodded listening to this voice as if he was right before her. She knew very well that he loved her.

"I still do and that’s the only right I want from you. Please, don’t ask me to stop loving you! I might not even be able to take my next breath if you didn’t allow me the right to love you..." This time, Xu Mey was sure that he was crying since his voice had gotten heavy. "And don’t worry, I won’t ask you to love me. Although I want to snatch you away from Ye Jie, I know he is still right for you. Sorry for everything that you had to go through because of my blood relatives and farewell. I’m not sure if I’ll ever want to come back here. I’ve lost my reasons. Goodbye, and take care!"

Xu Mey had complicated feelings in her heart as she clutched the phone tightly in her hand. How could one allow the other to love all alone knowing that this love might kill him? But it was the first time, Fu Shuang had asked for something from her. Therefore, she decided to give it to him as the parting gift.
