YM778.TV Chapter 19 - She Needs Trust
When Xu Mey entered the hall, Ye Jie had a cheeky smile. The veil they decided on last time was semi-transparent with embroidered flowers on it. It didn’t give a clear view of her face but her aura alone was enough to leave people in awe. That slit down her knee was showing her long slim leg with each step she took.
Exchanging rings vows, all in all, the ceremony was long and tiring for both Xu Mey and Ye Jie. After the ceremony, they had to greet the guests but Ye Jie didn’t let her take off the veil.
But Xu Mey ignored him and took the veil off her face. The guests were already in awe of her beauty.
"Miss Xu, this is for you," A girl in her early twenties presented a small gift to Xu Mey with a polite and respectful smile. Xu Mey didn’t pay much attention to her and placed the gift on the table beside her.
After a while came a young man with black rimmed glasses. "Miss Xu, this is to congratulate you on your wedding." He presented the gift with a bow and left the way he came.
"Ex-boyfriends are on the run," Wu Wang tried to tease her but Ye Jie’s expression halted his movements.
"Well, seems like I’m late on my little Mey’s wedding."
"Uncle Wu!" Xu Mey was surprised and also very happy to see Wu Wang’s father. "You said, you can’t make it." She looked accusingly at him.
Uncle Wu chuckled and gave her a side hug. "I had to come. My little Mey is getting married. I had to see the rascal who’s snatching you from us." Uncle Wu turned to Ye Jie. "Young man, if you hurt my little Mey even a bit, I’ll be a very hostile person."
"I won’t hurt her, Mr. Wu."
"You better not."
"Wu-Wong, what are you doing here?" Grandfather Xu and Father Ye came when they saw Uncle Wu.
"Naturally, I’m here to congratulate my little Mey." Uncle Wu replied in an obvious kind of way making Wu Wang and Xu Mey roll their eyes.
"You are familiar with Xu Mey?" Father Ye asked with uncertainty.
"She’s my son’s best friend for 20 years. I obviously am more than familiar with her."
"Ugh! Why are you here earlier than us?" They turned to see Li Man and He Kun with presents in their hands.
"Looks like I won this round," Uncle Wu laughed proudly.
"Auntie Li, Uncle He thanks for coming," Xu Mey greeted both Li Man and He Kun with equal enthusiasm.
"We had to come, our little Mey." The way they greeted each other made it obvious that they were really close.
Xu Cheng was not happy with his daughter being so affectionate to outsiders but he still was happy for the fact that those outsiders brought a smile to his daughter’s face.
"Am I the last one to arrive?" Lin Han’s voice sounded near them. "Oh my, our little Mey is dazzling today. I might get blind."
Xu Mey laughed lightly at his words. "Uncle Han is making fun of me now."
"Oh no baby, I’m serious. Our little Mey is mesmerizing as always." Li Man, He Kun agreed with Lin Han’s words.
It was like a jolly atmosphere with all of her best friends and their parents. Only Jun Li Na’s parents couldn’t make it but the rest treated her like their own precious daughter. The number of time Ye Jie was warned by all of them about hurting her can’t be counted on two hands.
Because of Xu Liqing, Fu Lan left right after the ceremony. So, naturally, she didn’t see the way all those conglomerates treated Xu Mey. If she had seen it, she would have believed in her daughter’s words.
"You seem to be worried about something," Lin Shen asked Ye Jie noticing the look on his face.
"I’m not worried. It’s just that I don’t know if I can really make a place in her heart for myself." Ye Jie shared his heartfelt thought with Lin Shen.
Lin Shin smiled at him. "It’s very easy." Ye Jie looked at him. "Little Mey’s heart is empty." Ye Jie gave him a baffled look. "It’s true. Her heart is really empty. She’d never dated a single person in her life before. She’s like a naive girl when it comes to love and relationships."
"To fill that heart, you have to give her what she never had before." Wu Wang joined their conversation with a wine glass in hand.
"What is it that she never had?"
"A home that is solely hers." He Jian added his words in.
"And a loving person who is solely hers." Li Qiao also had to add his thoughts.
Ye Jie was trying to understand their words when he heard a feminine voice. "Most of all, she needs trust. If you’re willing to trust her, she’ll not only give you her heart but even her soul if you ask for it." Jun Li Na’s words made all the boys nod in agreement.
Ye Jie looked at his wife stuck between the elders. His eyes had an indescribable feeling of affection. He was also impressed by her. Even watching a complete dark side of hers in the storage room, he couldn’t stop himself from being attracted to her.
It felt like the devil in her was provoking him in a way that he couldn’t ignore her dazzling and enchanting presence.
