Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 49 - I Need You

Someone once said: 'The worst feeling in the world is the feeling of guilt.'

But the worst kind of guilt is when you haven't even done anything wrong. That was the kind of guilt in Ye Jie. He merely gave in to his brother's tantrum but now his wife's glare was like scorching heat making him resolve: 'I'll never give in to Ye Jun's tantrums ever again. It'll be a lot easy to avoid him than to face Xu Mey's glare.'

"My dear husband," Normally, Ye Jie would have been happy to hear the way she addressed him but now, he could feel the sarcasm clearly dripping from her words. "Your younger brother is sick and you know it's not healthy for him to eat such food. Yet you brought it?"

Ye Jie looked at the ground submissively not facing her. "It's not my fault. He played the emotional blackmailing card. I couldn't fight with it."

"Even if he did play a card. You're older than him. You shouldn't have given in to his wishes. Do you know what you did wrong?" Xu Mey was chiding him like he was bully.

"Yes." Hearing his brother's faint voice, Ye Jun chuckled and received a glare from Xu Mey in reply making him purse his lips.

"And you," She turned to Ye Jun. "Even when you're sick, you asked for such spicy food. Also, you're not wearing any jacket. And you're not even in the bed like you're supposed to." It was Ye Jun's turn to look submissive. He understood why his overbearing brother became so meek. His sister-in-law's oppression aura was no joke.

"Sis-in-law, that medicine made my mouth so bitter. That's why I wanted something with enriched taste." Ye Jun replied as if he had been wronged.

"That's why I brought these candied plums for you." She opened one of the plastic bags and pulled out a box of candied plums. Ye Jun's eyes brightened up again. "I brought some abalone congee and some udon for you as well. Now, eat this first and take some meds. You need plenty of rest."

Ye Jun raised from his seat intending to hug Xu Mey but Ye Jie pushed his body back to where it raised from. "Hug your own wife." His voice was low but held the same authority as it did in front of his employees.

Ye Jun puckered his lips accusingly. "I don't have a wife."

"Then get one to hug." The reply was straightforward.

"Don't want to." Ye Jun announced.

"Not my problem." Ye Jie kept his answer short and turned to his wife beside him. "How come you're so early?" He was stroking her black glossy hair.

She looked at him with her gleaming eyes. "I thought even if we can't go out, we can have dinner at home together." Ye Jie grinned at her answer seemingly satisfied with it.

Both of them forgot Ye Jun who was right beside them as they got into a staring competition. It took a while before Ye Jun kissed the top of her head and said in a low voice near her ear, "Stop running your mind for no reason." That kiss actually froze her thoughts.

Xu Mey frowned. Clearly, he couldn't have known that her mind was running wild again. But he knew. "You want to ask something?" Xu Mey nodded. "Don't hesitate. Just ask."

"The night of our wedding... Mm... Did I say something wrong? Or did I get the wrong idea about something?" The moment she was told that she should stop overthinking. She realized that maybe she had done overthinking which led to Ye Jie making everything clear to her. He was patient with her which gave her the impression that she must have done something.

Both brothers nodded their head like a rattle. "You do know that our past is something we can't change, right?" Xu Mey nodded in reply. "But we can't build our future looking at that past either." Ye Jie took a pause to let his words sink in her mind. "The thought that made you so cold that night was your own thinking."

Xu Mey thought back to their conversation and widened her eyes. "You weren't thinking about your ex?"

Again both brothers shook heads simultaneously. "Only an idiot will think his ex while sitting in front of his wife."

"But she was your girlfriend for 8 whole years. She was even with you since your childhood. There is no way you can possibly forget her that easily. People don't just fall out of love."

Ye Jie looked at his shrewd wife's face and smiled. This was within his expectations. The way her mind ran, it was not odd for her to say all this. "Yes, my dear wife is as always right. People don't just fall out love just like people don't just fall in love. In fact, the way they need someone to pull them in love is exactly how they need someone to pull them out of love." Xu Mey was listening attentively to him with her palm supporting her face.

"So, you're saying that you need someone to pull you out of love?" She asked curiously.

"Not someone." Ye Jie moved even closer to her making her sit straight. "You! I need you."

Xu Mey's heart was one thing, this time her whole body shook. *Cough* *Cough* "Why me?"

"Simple... Because... You... Are... My... One... And... Only... Wife..." The more he enunciated each word slowly, the more her breathing was getting stuck.

As much as fluffy clothes were comfortable to Xu Mey, these fluffy words were as much uncomfortable. She always believed that fluffy words were just fluffy not heartfelt or sincere. She felt like some stuffed her up with cotton candy.

It was hard for her to digest anything that came out of his mouth. And she would have laughed at it on any other occasion but the look in his brown eyes, his soul penetrating eyes mixed with his handsome face. Only brought one sentence to her mind: 'I'm doomed!"
