Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 336 - Oscar-Winning

Needless to say, those words struck like lightning. Not just on Xu Mey but also every single person who was present in the room.

"Bro, you don’t know who she is?" Ye Jun was the only person who could raise this question. He was cautious with his words but he was really horrified at the simple idea of... What if his brother really doesn’t know Xu Mey? But he remembered everyone else. So... Selective memory loss?

Jie took a deep breath and turned his eyes away from Xu Mey like she was just any passerby he didn’t care to know about. "Didn’t I just say, I don’t?" As Ye Jun opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish, Jie continued, "Why? Am I supposed to know her?"

Everyone shared a look not knowing what to say. What could they say?

"It’s alright if you don’t know her." Lin Shen was the first one to answer as he entered the room with a group of doctors behind him. "No need to strain your mind." He smiled pleasantly and gestured for the other people to leave the room.

With only the doctors in the room, all the necessary tests were carried out. Outside, Xiamu had called for a nurse to bandage Xu Mey’s bleeding hand while he put slippers on her feet. Xu Mey sat like a statue, not caring for the words around her. The world had gone into a flurry for her.

’He doesn’t remember me? My Ah-Jie forgot me?’ Xu Mey couldn’t believe it. No, her heart wouldn’t let her believe it. She remembered once he said, ’I’m afraid you might even forget me one day.’ She held her head in her hands. ’Ah-Jie, I didn’t forget you... Just like I promised you I won’t. Then how could you forget me instead?’

She kept shaking her head as the melancholy of her heart starting to sink in her soul. Her breathing was still ragged and slowly it started getting worse. But suddenly, her body went numb. Completely numb.

Why?

Because her own words rang in her mind, ’If you forgot me, I’ll lose my reason for existence.’

And that’s exactly how she felt. She suddenly lost her reason for existence. Lost herself into an abyss of darkness all over again. And a lost person can’t possibly feel the pain. That person can only feel numb.

She didn’t care what Lin Shen or the other doctors said. She went back to her own room and went inside the bathroom to splash some cold water to feel something... Anything would be fine for now.

"Haha... Why are you upset? Didn’t you decide to leave him?" Xu Mey stared back at her reflection that seemed like it was admonishing her.

Xu Mey let the palms of her hand lay flat on the cold marble sink and felt her tears brimming up. "But I never wanted him to forget me." She whimpered.

"Oh, so you want to leave him but you still want to torture him with your memories? How selfish of you!" That voice the only rationality she was left with.

"No, no! That’s not what I want. But..." Xu Mey tried to find for a reasonable excuse. "But he needs to remember our baby. Yes! How will he care for our baby if he won’t even remember me?"

"That’s a nice way to convince your guilty conscious. But for how long?" After that, the voice vanished and Xu Mey was left with her own self again. She entered the room and curled up her body on the bed in a fetal position.

Staying awake till morning, Xu Mey was distorted with her own thoughts. Finally, not being able to take it anymore, she stormed off to Jie’s room.

Azalea was feeding him some soup when Xu Mey entered with blazing eyes. She shot a look to Azalea and said only one word, "Out!"

Feeling the danger, Azalea made her presence small and briskly left the room. Jie was still frowning at Xu Mey but stayed quiet as if waiting for her to speak first.

Xu Mey took steady steps towards Jie. "You don’t remember me?" Her voice choked up.

"Am I supposed to?" He retorted blandly.

"Of course! You can’t forget me. That doesn’t make sense."

"Why? Who are you to me?" Xu Mey felt like someone twisted a dagger in her heart.

"Ah-Jie!" She called out his name affectionately and softly.

"Miss, I don’t think we are that close. Also, you shouldn’t be here. I’m a married man and you are a single lady. You might not care but I definitely don’t want to upset my wife at all."

"Your wife? I am your wife, damnit!" Xu Mey finally burst out.

Jie chuckled in amusement. "Nice try. But don’t you think I’d know my wife? She’s the sweetest person in the world. Certainly, someone careless like you can’t be my wife."

As he spoke, his gaze was stuck on her feet that were yet again bare.

"Ah-Jie-," Before Xu Mey could say anything, he interrupted her.

"Miss, please leave. I’m tired. I need some sleep." He even lowered his body indicating that he was indeed going to sleep.

Biting her lips, Xu Mey hesitated but still turned to leave with a heavy heart.

Watching her leave, Jie’s expressions shifted as a cold expression took over.

Suddenly, a silvery and graceful voice rang in the room, "Blimey!(*) I must say that was one Oscar-winning performance. But aren’t you going a bit too far?"

(*) ’Blimey!’: My Goodness!
