YM778.TV Chapter 8 - More Like Lust Bite
"Qiao, you’re talking like he’s cheating on me," She replied languidly before taking wolfberry to eat.
"Isn’t this also cheating?" Li Qiao was glowering at this point. He never wanted his best friend to have a fake relationship. He believed that one day she’ll love someone but he was scared of her love as well. He knew she had a habit of doing everything to an extreme and if she loved to the point of going crazy one day, he won’t be surprised at all.
The door to the private room opened and in walked Wu Wang with a radiant smile and disheveled hair. His clothes had creases giving away what he’d been doing. "Oh, here’s my pretty girl," He came to Xu Mey for a hug but she paced backward to hide behind He Jian making Wu Wang pout like a baby.
"You have a," She pointed at his neck but couldn’t speak out.
Easing her stress, Lin Shen commented, "She’s trying to say that you have a hickey at the side of your neck."
Wu Wang saw the hickey through his phone’s camera and replied, "It’s called love bite you ignorant people."
"Minus the love part," He Jian added with a pleased expression.
Xu Mey snorted at his reply and said, "More like lust bite, Wang boy." Her words made all of them burst out laughing. She passed him a wary smile and sat back down.
"Always expect my best friend to say the joke of the day," Wu Wang lamented and sat with Lin Shin.
All of them were busy in their usual banter when a knock was heard on the door and a head poked in. Looking at the face, Xu Mey’s smile turned into a dark expression. Her assistant shivered under her scrutinizing gaze and passed a tablet to him before literally running out of the room.
Her expression was grave as she looked through the report in her hand. The rest of them came around and glanced at what was she reading. It was a detailed report on Ye Jie’s life, including the kind of brands of clothes he used. The only black spot on his flawless attributes was his last relationship. He was known as a cold and aloof CEO but he valued his family the most.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Shen noticed the change in Xu Mey’s expression with his keen senses. She looked into his beautiful eyes and Lin Shen understood the meaning behind her gaze. "Even if he grew up in the company of a loving family and you didn’t that doesn’t change anything." All of her friends hugged her stopping her breath. But eventually, they managed to uplift her mood.
The next morning, Xu Mey decided to pay her future husband a visit to assess everything. She arrived at his two-story house in the Peach Estates. There was a pathway decorated with beautiful flowers leading to the main door.
She rang the bell and stood at a side waiting for the door to open. She was wearing a white knee length skirt with a red top along with knee-high leather boots and a long coat.
It was Sunday morning, for Ye Jie this was a late morning because he had a bit of the flu. Last night, it took a lot of effort to sleep, when the doorbell woke him it made him a bit moody. He came downstairs to open the main door and didn’t see on the screen before opening the door with an irritated look.
The sound of the door opening made her turn around to see Ye Jie standing in only his night trousers leaving his toned abs and lean body for her to gawk at. He was rubbing his eye to shake away the sleep when he heard her familiar languid voice, "Not bad!" He opened his eyes to see her licking her lower lip looking at his naked self. To make it worse, she even gave a wolfish whistle like a hooligan.
"F*ck!" He cursed before shutting the door leaving her out in the cold with a sullen look. He ran back to the room and wore a woolen sweater and came back to open the door. "You can come inside, now." He saw the sour look on her face as he made a hand gesture for her to enter.
She walked inside the modern style house, it had everything but it still felt empty to her. ’I guess, home is really with people.’ She thought to herself looking at the huge chandelier in the living hall. Ye Jie was walking right behind her and as she halted in her steps, he bumped into her figure without realizing it.
He scratched the back of his head while apologizing to her. "What are you doing here?" He asked while she took off her coat and placed it on the side of the couch.
"What you’re not happy to see your beautiful future wife?" She asked with a fake sweet smile on her face which actually made him worried.
"No, that’s not what I meant. It’s going to be your house as well in a month anyway. I’m just saying you should have informed me so that I could clean up the house a bit," He looked around at the mess of clothes and files and he scrunched up his nose. He wasn’t a messy person but because of flu, he didn’t let the maid enter the house for the past 2 days.
"You don’t have to worry about the mess. I can deal with that. And for why I’m here? They say, ’To know a fish go to the water; to know a bird’s song go to the mountains.’ And since I want to know my future husband, I had to come to his house." She sat down on the rug and started organizing the papers and files scattered around. "Sorry for coming unannounced but I didn’t have your contact details."
"Achoo!" He sneezed and took a tissue before asking, "So, the report you received didn’t have my contact information? How ironic?"
Xu Mey saw the pleased look on his face but ignored it. "Since we’re on the topic, why don’t you ask your minions to stop trailing me? It’s not like they’ll find anything." Her reply made a shocked expression to surface on his face.
