Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 25 - I Don't Cook

-The next morning-

The orange rays of the sun broke the shadows of dark night and found its way out. There was an earthy smell in the air and those plants that were crestfallen in cold were now standing proudly showing their newly found youth. The fragrance of blooming flowers could make this morning a vibrant one for anyone.

When the pearly rays of the sun fell on Ye Jie's face, he squinted his eyes and covered them with the back of his hand. After a moment, he decided to wake up and start the day. Xu Mey was not beside him when he woke up but he didn't think much about her absence.

He took a shower and wore a tailored made suit accentuating his broad shoulders along with his flourishing beauty.

He picked up his tie and coat before going downstairs. The moment he came down, he heard the sound of a door closing. He turned to see Xu Mey closing the door of her office as she walked towards him.

"Good morning, Mr. Ye!" Her voice was flat just like her countenance. Ye Jie replied with own 'good morning' as his eyes followed her slender figure clad in black high waisted velvet pants with a full sleeve jersey crop top. Her long hair was tied in a proper bun.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Jie said, "Don't you think, you should repay me?" Xu Mey turned her head to look at him with a confused look. "I cooked dinner for you. You should make breakfast for me." He said it like it was common sense to know about that.

"I don't cook." Her reply was short and precise.

"Breakfast is not that difficult to make." Ye Jie retorted stubbornly. Xu Mey narrowed her eyes at him before replying with an 'okay.'

She walked over to the kitchen and wore an apron over her dress. She picked some eggs and toast and other necessary ingredients. She didn't try to impress him with her Chinese dishes and chose to make an easy western style breakfast.

Within 30 minutes, she made Tomato Toast with Macadamia Ricotta, a few egg muffins, cheesy spinach baked eggs and scrambled eggs along with healthy peanut butter and banana smoothie.

Ye Jie was used to eating a heavy Chinese breakfast. Seeing all the dishes neatly served on the table before him, He was a bit surprised. He was not unfamiliar with western food. He had his fair share of western delicacies while traveling around the world for business. But he wasn't expecting Xu Mey to make them.

Xu Mey took a seat at the dining table with her cell phone in hand. She took a glass of smoothie without paying attention to Ye Jie. She neither talked to him during the breakfast nor looked at him. She was immersed in eating.

Her phone placed beside her plate on the table rang repeatedly. She picked it up and placed it near her ear. "What?" That was the only word she said.

"President Xu, you need to come to the office right now," Her assistant, Qin Hao's panicked voice came from the other side.

"I told you, I'm on a leave for a week." She replied in a calm voice. But Qin Hao was aware of the storm behind her calmness.

"I didn't want to disturb you myself. But the investors from Paris are here and they want to meet you."

Xu Mey became quiet hearing his words, she looked at Ye Jie who was pretending to not pay any attention to her. In reality, he was focused on her every move.

After a moment of contemplation, she replied, "I'll be there in half an hour." With that, she disconnected the call.

"Mr. Ye, I need to leave," She didn't want to explain any further to him as she stood up.

"Our flight is in 2 hours," He informed her while taking a small bite of his toast.

She rubbed her nose and sighed loudly. "Can we postpone this honeymoon?" He raised his brows at her words. And she continued, "Actually, let's just cancel it. These formalities are really not necessary in our relationship."

She didn't say anything else and took her leather jacket from the couch and strode out of the house.

Ye Jie was thinking about her words. Formalities word seemed annoying to him for some reason. He couldn't deny the fact that this relationship was a formality. He was frustrated not just because of the reality of their relationship but also for the reason that he didn't even know where she was doing her job. Or what her job actually was?

"Good morning, Master Ye!" The maid's voice broke the train of his thoughts.

He informed his own assistant to cancel the tickets and hotel reservations. Since they were not going on a honeymoon, he decided to go to the office as well. Staying at home alone for no reason was not productive.

As he entered the garage to take his Maybach, he suddenly remembered that Xu Mey didn't have a car. Then how did she leave? There is no way for her to get a taxi in this area.
