Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Where this phone call left Ye Jie in a euphoria, Xu Mey was in an intense predicament. It was an undeniable fact that Xu Mey cared about Ye Jun just because he was Ye Jie's only brother. She wasn't the kind of person to run from her responsibilities and taking care of her husband's family was also a responsibility she couldn't just shake off.

Her predicament at the moment was that she felt bad about saying no to Ye Jie for dinner. Even though she promised to go tomorrow but no one might ever know the difference between going today and tomorrow better than her.

The time she asked her father to accompany her to school, he said, "Little Mey, I'll go with you tomorrow. Today, Daddy has an important meeting." He left his 6-year-old daughter with that 'important meeting' excuse once again.

Xu Mey was downhearted. It was the annual function at her school that day. There was a huge difference in going today and tomorrow. The worst part was; that tomorrow never came for her.

The heart that she took years to harden was actually sad thinking about that memory. She gently closed her eyes leaning back in her leather chair and sighed. When she opened her eyes again, there was a completely unreadable look in her eyes.

Back at the Peach Estates, Ye Jie brought tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) as per his brother's requests. When he entered the living room, Ye Jun pounced at him but Ye Jie's nimble body movements saved him from being squished in his brother's arms. But Ye Jun was not as lucky as Ye Jie. Because Ye Jie moved at the last minute, Ye Jun couldn't control his speedy body and ended up hitting his face against the closed door behind Ye Jie.

Seeing his younger brother hugging the door intimately, Ye Jie couldn't stop his laughter. Ye Jun turned his now aching face towards Ye Jie to glare. His nose and forehead both were red from the hit and he was in intense pain.

But the way Ye Jie laughed hurt him, even more, making his eyes sting with tears. "Who told you to get out of bed?" Ye Jie patted his brother's shoulder in an affectionate manner. His words were accusing but his tone very gentle. "See, I brought your food." Ye Jie raised his other hand to show the plastic bag in hand which made Ye Jun's eyes brighten up again.

Ye Jie didn't have to drag Ye Jun to the sofa in the living room. Ye Jun excitedly took the plastic bag from his hand and happily skipped to the sofa like a kid who just got his favorite candy.

Ye Jie took a seat beside him and rubbed his forehead at Ye Jun's childish behavior. Ye Jie's biggest worry about Ye Jun was just the fact that Ye Jun never took anything seriously in his life except for food.

Even in the company, Ye Jun just worked because he couldn't possibly refuse Ye Jie for anything. The person Ye Jun respected the most in this world was Ye Jie. He might not listen to his parents but if Ye Jie once told him to stand, he definitely won't sit.

As the proverb goes, 'It takes two to make it work.' A relationship also needs two people for harmony. A single person's effort might make a relationship. But it can't possibly make it stand for long.

To make a relationship stand longer, both parties involved have to give something. Every relationship in this world is based on giving and taking. If you give love in a relationship, there is no way you won't expect it in return. And it's not really your fault for expecting. It's a basic human nature. We always do something in hopes of gaining something in return.

In the case of Ye Jie and Ye Jun, if the younger one was respectful, the elder one was doting.

The Tango of relationship needs two people but in case of love, one of the people has to take a step ahead. If you won't ask for the dance first and kept waiting for the other person to make the first move, the consequences most likely will be; That first dance will never happen!

Ye Jie was trying to make that first move with Xu Mey. He didn't want to take any chances with her. As Ye Jie was thinking about Xu Mey, Ye Jun's starry eyes were devouring the food. Ye Jun picked up his chopsticks and was about to take the first bite when the main door opened making him halt. Ye Jie also cocked his head to look.

Xu Mey was standing there with one hand on the doorknob while the other had a few plastic bags in it. As her eyes fell on that red spicy sauce dripping down while Ye Jun's mouth was gaping intending to take that bite, she squinted her eyes at him. Ye Jun swallowed his saliva at that expression.

He still remembered Xu Mey's expressions in that dark storeroom on the wedding day. He definitely had no intentions of messing with his sis-in-law. Never in his life!

The hand that was holding the doorknob raised slowly. She pointed her finger at Ye Jun and waved her finger in a 'no-no' gesture. Then she made a 'put-it-down-at-once' gesture making Ye Jun pout. But he still brought the chopsticks down reluctantly.

I was so close to having that explosion of taste in my bitter mouth. Why at this time, sis-in-law? I wanted to eat that!

Ye Jun's heart was crying but his face only had a pout on it which shifted into a grin when his eyes fell on Ye Jie. The way Xu Mey was glaring at him while heading up to his side was priceless and the even more priceless expression was Ye Jie's which made him look extremely guilty.
