Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 96 - The Wedding Gifts

They arrived home in the evening. After freshening up, both of them pulled out some documents to look through but the difference was that both of them stayed in the living room instead of being cooped up in their individual study rooms. While Ye Jie was on the couch with his laptop in his lap and documents scattered around. Xu Mey was on the rug on the floor with all her designs laying around.

"Hey, cherry wife?" Ye Jie suddenly thought of something again. It was like he had an inkling to talk to her again and again. He felt he never gets tired of talking to her.

"Mm..." She replied distractedly.

"We haven’t opened our wedding gifts, have we?"

Xu Mey rubbed her nose and said, "No... We haven’t. What do you have in mind?"

"Let’s look through them." He suggested placing his laptop on the coffee table.

"Why?" She asked in a whiny tone.

"Because I always loved to unwrap the gifts. Come on!" He had to drag her up from the ground. Xu Mey very reluctantly followed him to the guest room where all the gifts were stored.

There was a huge pile of gift in the room which made Xu Mey turn around wanting to escape but Ye Jie was faster than her, he held her shoulders and turned her back around. She looked at him innocently making puppy dog eyes. Ye Jie closed his eyes and said, "Stop that! Let’s just get over with this."

"Fine!" She stumped her foot on the ground.

Ye Jie kept unwrapping the gifts while Xu Mey just sat there to give him company until a particular gift caught her attention.

It was a wooden photo frame, seemingly very ordinary. But at one closer look, one could see the intricate design of roses carved by an expert artisan. The frame could open from the center and both sides had a photo. One of Ye Jie and one of Xu Mey respectively. But the photos were from their teenage years.

There was a short poem carved on the sides of the frame. It read:

"The road might be long,

The wind might be strong,

But if that one person hold you tight,

Then all worries will be gone..."

Xu Mey chuckled at this rhyming poem. ’This is so your style, Sensei.’ She thought with a shake of her head.

Meanwhile, in Ye Jie’s mind was another debate session. ’Why does this kind of poem is giving me a familiar feeling? Do I know someone who likes to rhyme like this? Or should I say try to rhyme?’

He didn’t pursue the matter, seeing Xu Mey’s smile was enough indication that the sender was her Sensei. They moved on to another gift and this time, Xu Mey’s smile was swapped with annoyance.

There seemed nothing wrong with the gift to Ye Jie. It was a platinum bracelet with three charms dangling from it. In the middle was a tulip flower, on the right side was Effile tower and on the left side was a crescent moon.

She clutched the bracelet tightly in her hand and raised it as if to throw it but at the last second, she changed her mind. "I’ll throw it at your face. That’ll be more thrilling." She seemed to be talking to herself but Ye Jie heard her clearly.

After this gift, Xu Mey wasn’t in the mood of staying even for a second. Therefore, she went back to the bedroom to sleep. Ye Jie’s heart was brimming with curiosity but he just couldn’t bring himself to ask anything.

The next morning, when Xu Mey woke up, Ye Jie was already dressed up. She frowned because it was Sunday and he wasn’t supposed to work. Then her eyes caught a small suitcase laying near the door.

"You’re going somewhere?" She asked.

Ye Jie sat beside her on the bed. "Get up and freshen up. Faster!"

"We are going somewhere?"

"Mm... I’m going to Tokyo and you’re going to the airport with me." He replied.

"Why are you going to Tokyo and why am I going to the airport?"

"I’m going to Tokyo because of business and you’re coming with me to the airport because I want to spend some extra time with you." He replied caressing her face. He rubbed her bottom lip gently letting it linger there for a while.

Xu Mey suddenly felt hot. A feeling of embarrassment and warmth spread over in her body. "Okay!" She didn’t argue anymore and obediently went to freshen up.

She randomly put on some clothes after taking a shower and headed to the door with him. Ye Jie’s assistant, Qi Guan was waiting in a car outside. He opened the back seat door and both of them got it.
