Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Xu Mey learned to act like a trusting person. But in reality, she didn’t trust at all. The person she trusted the most was also the one who taught her that trust was a luxury not everyone could afford. That person was her Sensei- who brought her back to life and gave her a new dream in life to live.

Her trust for her Sensei was so deep that just with his one sentence, ’He is a keeper!’ She decided to trust Ye Jie. She didn’t want to go all in this relationship but she didn’t want to get all out as well. Therefore, she decided to find a middle ground in this relationship.

When she was walking towards her motorbike, she stopped. Turned around and headed to Ye Jie’s Audi which he was about to drive out. She bent a little, knocked at his window and when the glass rolled down, she asked, "Do you mind giving me a ride?"

Ye Jie kept staring back at her without blinking. This was one of the rare times when she spoke first. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He cleared his throat and tried again. "Yeah sure... Get in."

Xu Mey smiled faintly and walked around the car to sit at the passenger seat. "Where to?" He asked.

"Just drive. I’ll tell you the directions." She replied and Ye Jie stepped on the accelerator.

There was silence in the car and Ye Jie kept stealing glances at her face from his peripheral vision to discern her frame of mind. After much bickering with himself, he tested the water. "Those herbs that you received..." He dragged his sentence, not daring to complete it.

Xu Mey tilted her head towards him. "Oh, those... They are to help me get better sleep." She replied languidly.

Ye Jie nodded. "Who?" He again didn’t complete the question.

She gazed at the side of his face for a while. "They are from the person who said you are a keeper." Her blunt reply stunned Ye Jie to the extent that he ended up stepping on the brakes. Fortunately, they were not yet on the highway otherwise you could imagine the consequences.

After looking at her face trying to see whether she was telling the truth or not, he coughed a little. "Sorry about this." Xu Mey waved it off like it was no big deal. And it was really not a big deal, no one got injured or anything.

"Okay, you can stop the car right there," She pointed towards the building and Ye Jie’s eyes widened.

He parked the car and asked, "You work at Vintage Gems?"

Xu Mey was unbuckling her seatbelt when she said, "Isn’t it a dream of every jewelry designer to work at Vintage these days?" She looked at him with raised brows. When she received no reply from Ye Jie she said, "Fine... It’s not to that extent... Yet... But its still a good place to work." Indirectly, she was trying to make Ye Jie talk about his opinion of Vintage but he didn’t make a comment.

"Should I come to pick you up?" He asked looking expectantly at her.

She pursed her lips, thought for a minute and said, "Sure, just come by at around 6:30."

"Got it!" He did a salute with two fingers making her roll her eyes at him placed her hand over her mouth to hide her smile. She was about to turn when she heard his voice, "Wait!" She turned to see him getting off of the car and walking up to her. He gave her a light hug and kissed the top of her head. "Now, you can go." He waved his hand and got in the car again. She stood at the side watching his car disappear before she walked inside the building.

Ye Jie was unusually happy today. It was like another step to knowing her. He finally knew where she worked. As for her workplace, he knew about Vintage very well. He had every detail of the company with him except for one - Who was the President of the company? It was a question asked by many but if you had no business interactions with Vintage, there was no way of knowing about the President.

But the worst part for Ye Jie was that he had a very close business interaction with Vintage and yet he had never met or seen the President. ’Ha? President Xu? Xu Mey? They have the same family name. Weird!’ He was talking to himself in his office.

Seeing the reports on his table, he stood up and headed to Ye Jun’s office. Ye Jun was busy playing games when Ye Jie came inside without knocking. "Bro, knock before you enter." He got defensive.

Ye Jie threw the files in his hand in front of Ye Jun making him jump in his seat. "You’re the one who wanted to get into e-sports and now, you’re not taking responsibility." Ye Jie was furious. He clearly told Ye Jun that even though he played games, none of them had much idea about e-sports but he still insisted. Ye Jie was regretting agreeing to it.

"Bro, you take care of it. I can’t handle it anymore." Ye Jun raised his hands trying to get out of the mess he created.

"I guess I was expecting too much from you." Ye Jie was disappointed in Ye Jun once again. For the world, Ye Jun was an exceptional worker but in reality, Ye Jie had to do everything behind the scenes. He didn’t want anyone to question Ye Jun’s abilities but it was true that Ye Jun enjoyed hanging around instead of working.

Ye Jie pinched his brows and came back to his own office. His cell phone was ringing when he walked back inside the office. Ye Jie received the call without looking at the screen. "Hello!"

"What hello? What an ungrateful best friend are you?" Ming Qu’s voice transmitted from the other end. "After the marriage, you have completely forgotten your best friend." Ming Qu was trying to act brokenhearted but Ye Jie was familiar with his antics.

"Get over it. Didn’t you forget me when you got married?" Ye Jie replied in frustration. All of his frustration over Ye Jun was being directed to Ming Qu.

"Ouch! You got mean, my friend." Ming Qu declared. Ye Jie rolled his eyes and loosened his tie while taking a seat.

"Is your wife with you?" Ye Jie asked as a sudden thought came to his mind.

"She is. What do you want with her?" Ming Qu was suspicious.
