Chapter 32 - An Enticing, Exciting, & Nervous Love

-At Ye Enterprises-


The meeting about the Ye Enterprises to set foot in the online gaming industry was in full heat. Everyone wanted to impress the CEO with their own proposals. And it seemed like their zealous efforts luckily were impressing the cold CEO. Throughout the entire Ye Jie felt a weird kind of excitement in his heart which led a wandering smile to play on his lips.


But his poor employees had a self-opinionated inkling that their boss was very happy with their performance. On the other hand, Ye Jun who was sitting right beside his elder brother had an itching feeling that the smile was related to Xu Mey.


Ye Jie was in college when he started dating Lu Yuhan. The reason was straightforward; he was comfortable with her. Lu Yuhan and Ye Jie were friends since middle school. He never had any thoughts about dating her at first but when she proposed to him, he felt like there was no harm in trying out.


Being familiar with each other in a relationship is always a healthy thing but when that familiarity turns into over-familiarity, it becomes a disaster. They shared a good and comfortable relationship with each other. But the relationship was exactly that; A comfortable one. It didn't have any excitement, anticipation or nervousness in it.


But that kind of a relationship was good enough for a person like Ye Jie who had no experience. He believed that relationships were supposed to be like this until his best friend, Ming Qu and his younger brother, Ye Jun shared their exciting relationship experiences.


When Ming Qu met his now wife, Wu Xia, he shared the story with Ye Jie about how he fell in love with. "Jie man, I feel excited just at the thought of seeing her. I always spend hours or days anticipating our dates. And all my time is spent in trying to make her happy." He had a dreamy expression.


"I just love when she smiles because of me." He pointed at his nose with his finger. "And the first time she called me affectionately, I felt like until that day, I had been living a lie. The way her presence makes me nervous and excited at the same time... Ahh! I can't explain in words to you."


Ye Jie didn't take his remarks seriously. But now, thinking about those times, he realized how much wrong he was back then. Just an ordinary date with Xu Mey, well it can't even be considered a date, made him feel really excited. He was anticipating his anime-date with his wife.


Looking at the time on his wristwatch, Ye Jie raised his hand, "Meeting is adjourned... You can talk the rest of the details with Ye Jun." Getting up from his seat, he buttoned up his coat and walked out with his usual posture yet the aura felt different to people.


Ye Jun being the annoying brother couldn't stop himself from bothering his brother. "Bro!" He called out to Ye Jie making him come to a standstill. Ye Jun ran to catch up to his brother. "What's the hurry?" He was panting profoundly in an exaggerating manner. "Bro, how can you leave such a big project at my weak shoulders?"


"Jun, I need to go home. Stay here and decide the project related details. I'll look over them tomorrow, okay?" Ye Jie patted his younger brother's shoulder to encourage him and made an attempt to leave.


"It's barely 5:30 bro. What's the hurry? You usually leave the office around 8 o'clock." Ye Jun stepped in his track to stop him.


"Jun, don't make me angry." Ye Jie gnashed his teeth to keep himself from hitting his brother.


Ye Jun had an amusing glint in his eyes as he came closer to Ye Jie's ear to whisper. "Are you that excited to see sis-in-law?"


"Yes!" Ye Jie ended up accepting without realizing it. He immediately refused it. "No... I have some important matters to take care of."


Seeing his brother's righteous and flustered look, Ye Jun burst into laughter. "Oh My God! Bro..." He tried to self-control his laughter which proved to be more difficult than he thought. "You're not good at lying."


"Shut up." Ye Jie grumbled under his breath. Pushing Ye Jun out of his way, he walked away taking long strides with his long legs.


Ye Jun was contented seeing his brother's smiling face. He watched the disappearing back of his brother with a smile on his lips. Ye Jun had nothing against Ye Jie's relationship with Lu Yuhan. But he always felt that there was something missing. He saw his brother's happy and comfortable life with Lu Yuhan but he wanted his brother to experience a different kind of love.


The day he met Xu Mey, he just knew instantly that she'd be able to change his brother's idea of love.


Ye Jie was familiar with the kind of love where you didn't have to say anything to make the other person know where you stand in this relationship. As they say, 'Actions speaks louder than words.' But Ye Jun knew, with Xu Mey's nature, Ye Jie will have to use both words and actions.


Because sometimes actions can be misleading.
