Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 164 - I'm Your Man

When Ye Jie stepped inside the bedroom, a sour reality was anticipating his entrance.

There she stood right beside the bed with a broad grin which appeared fake with her hands over her hips. Of course, it wasn't her stance or the smile that made his jaw drop, it was, in fact, the partition of pillows on the bed.

He gave one look to the pillows separating the bed which left even space on both sides and then glanced at Xu Mey with probing eyes.

"Ah Jie," her voice appeared to be dribbling with nectar for some dreadful reason. "Tonight, you're sleeping on that side," she pointed towards the left side of the bed and went on, "And I'll sleep on this side of the bed."

Ye Jie gulped visibly and took a step closer to Xu Mey who in turn took a step back and lifted her hands in guard, "No touching tonight, Ah Jie." She waggled her finger to accentuate her point.

"Baby, what are you talking about?" Ye Jie was really lost for words. What did he do to deserve this treatment? She was fine just a while ago. So, what changed in a moment?

"Didn't I tell you that I'll show you how much I missed you today?" Ye Jie nodded his head. "This is exactly how I'll show you."

She turned to sit on the bed and suddenly remembered, "Ah, remember! No touching even when we are sleeping!"

"What?" Ye Jie couldn't believe that this was befalling on him. It was like being sentenced without even grasping the ground.

He tried to walk closer to her but she again halted him with her hand and said, "Shoo! Don't come closer or I'll make you sleep outside and that too for the entire week."

That threat seemed to work better since Ye Jie backed off instantly and walked over to his own side of the bed.

In the dim light, laying on his back with his arm under his head, he could hear her calm breathing but he knew that she wasn't sleeping. It was past midnight and he still couldn't catch a wink of sleep. "Baby!" He called softly.

"Hmm..." He heard.

"Can't I just hold your hand?" He used the pitiful voice and it seemed to have stirred something in Xu Mey for a moment before she shook her head.

'Don't fall for his act?' She reminded herself and replied, "Nope!"

Ye Jie groaned and tossed around for a while before sitting back up. "Baby, if I won't hold you then I really can't fall asleep."

Xu Mey turned her back towards him and said, "You could sleep before I came into your life. Certainly, you can do that again."

"Before you came to my life, I didn't know what heaven tasted like. But now, I've gotten the taste of it which makes it hard to live without it. Don't deprive me of holding you. Or at least tell me, what the hell have I done wrong?" Ye Jie was exasperated. It was true that he could easily sleep alone before she barged into his life but in the past month, he got so used to her presence that it was really hard to sleep without her body snuggled up closer to him.

Xu Mey sat up cross-legged on the bed and picked a pillow to place over her legs. With her face supported by her palm which was propped on the pillow, she said, "You don't know what you did wrong?"

"Obviously, I don't. I even planned such a huge surprise for you. Oh, wait! Are you upset that I didn't tell you about Azalea waking up? But in my defense, I just wanted to surprise you." Ye Jie kept rambling until Xu Mey made him shut up.

"Would you shut up?" He instantly zipped his lips even made the gesture of zipping his lips which looked cute to Xu Mey in the soft light of the side lamp. "Why would I be upset about Azalea? I'm as glad as you are."

"Then what's the problem?" He quirked his brows gazing into her eyes.

Xu Mey puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms before her chest. "I'm upset because today I learned that you don't trust me." After saying that, she looked away avoiding looking at his face.

"Huh? When did I not trust you?" He scowled trying hard to think about this matter but couldn't think of anything. "Baby, you need to tell me yourself."

"I learned that you got jealous after hearing about Fu Shuang." Now, that rang a bell of danger in Ye Jie's mind. "The only way you could be jealous is if you have no trust in me."

'Really? Where the hell did she make that connection? Oh, my baby really runs her mind at the speed of light.' He lightly shook his head and pinched the space between his brows. 'I will kill you Ye Jun! That moron! Can't he keep anything to himself? Why does he have such a loose mouth?' But now, the damage was done and Ye Jie could only try to limit the outcomes.

He sighed heavily and said, "Baby, this much jealousy is very healthy in a relationship. It actually means that I love you so much that I don't feel good about other men thinking about you in the wrong way."

"There is no room for jealousy in a relationship. You said you love me that means that you should have immense trust in me but you don't." Xu Mey was still stuck on her own stubborn thoughts.

Ye Jie took her hands in his own and said, "Baby, I trust you completely. I just don't trust Mr. Fu Shuang." Xu Mey frowned. "You see, he's a man. And men are not very trustworthy. Especially when they are the third party in a relationship."

Xu Mey narrowed her eyes at him and retorted, "Then I shouldn't trust you as well. After all, you're a man as well."

Ye Jie had the urge to knock his own head but he held himself back. "Baby, I'm a man but I'm different."

"Oh, really? How?" She challenged.

"Becuase I'm your man!" Xu Mey was lost for words. She couldn't think of anything to say to him all over again.

'Fu*k! He did it again!' She thought. 'He and his damn sweet mouth!'

Taking advantage of her daze, Ye Jie threw the wall of pillows on the floor and wrapped his arms around her waist. And Xu Mey didn't resist anymore. She couldn't find a reason to.

"Baby, let's go to sleep. I'm seriously very tired today." Xu Mey relaxed in his embrace and didn't say anything about him holding her like this. In reality, she herself couldn't sleep while he was tossing and turning right beside her.

It didn't take long before both of them fell into slumber with Ye Jie's head buried on her shoulder and Xu Mey's hand over his arm on her waist.
