On the other hand, Xu Mey ran straight to the bedroom. Took her cellphone and ran into the bathroom, locked the door and leaned against it. She slid against the door and sat on the ground. Controlling her breathing was getting tougher by the minute.
She connected the call with her friends and waited for them to pick up. Xu Mey was right about her friends, they were the fitness freaks. Even at the moment, all of them were in the gym when they received her call. Lin Shen was the first one to receive her call, "Hey Baby Mey! So early in the morning?" By the time he asked the question, the call was connected with all others.
Even after a minute, they didn't hear Xu Mey's voice making them anxious.
"Xiao Mey, what's wrong?" He Jian asked clearly bothered with her silence.
He also received silence in reply.
"Mey-Mey, you're scaring us. Everything is alright, right?" Li Qiao picked up his keys, ready to drive to her place.
Even Li Qiao wasn't able to break her silence.
"Mey honey did that Ye Jie did something? Did he hurt you? I'm booking my flight right now. Don't worry, I'll be there soon. How dare he upset my sister?" Wu Wang was on the verge of exploding. In his mind, he completely blamed Ye Jie.
But his words actually managed to shatter the silence as they heard her low breathy voice. "He didn't hurt me. But his words made me really confused and I embarrassed myself because of my stupid bluntness." She was still trying to catch her breath but all of them could discern her flushed state.
"Baby Mey, there is no hurry. We all have time for you. Take your time and explain in detail." Lin Shen encouraged her like talking to a small kid. Naturally, others voiced their agreement.
Xu Mey recounted the events from last night till the moment of her extreme embarrassment. Sensible Li Qiao, Placid Lin Shen, and mysterious He Jian stayed quiet. But Wu Wang being the hot-tempered one exploded. "How dare he called my Mey, foolish?"
"Hold your aggressive behavior, Wang." Li Qiao said.
Lin Shen: "Don't forget, he also called her clever."
He Jian: "It doesn't matter what he thinks. What matters is what you think about his proposal, Xiao Mey. He seems sincere from his words."
Even though He Jian usually treasured his words but he was quite generous when it came to Xu Mey.
"But can I trust him, Bro?" That was the real thing bothering her.
"Who asked you to trust him? You just need to try sharing." Li Qiao added his thought.
"Consider him a friend and just share as much as you want him to know for now." Lin Shen also agreed with their thought.
Wu Wang was very wary of Ye Jie. But he couldn't deny the fact that Ye Jie was a good person. He wasn't worried about Ye Jie's past relationship. He was concerned about whether Ye Jie can take care of Xu Mey. He was very protective of her.
"Share what's in your heart and stop thinking with your mind." Wu Wang couldn't stop the words from flowing out.
Xu Mey smiled. Their voices were enough to calm her frenzy heart and mind.
There are things easy to forget in life and there are some that don't get out your mind. For instance, Our Xu Mey forgot her embarrassment but Ye Jie's honest words couldn't get out of her mind. For Ye Jie, he wasn't paying attention to the earlier conversation, his mind was stuck on her Xu Mey's last comment on his abs.
He was glad that in his sullen, heartbroken period of six months, he listened to his friend and focused on his own body. Exercising is not only good for health, but it's also good for heartbreak. After all, it takes your mind off of useless contemplation as it eases your mind.
Ye Jie always had a notion in mind that youngsters like to show off their bodies with those abs. And he never thought about hitting the gym just for the purpose of muscular body. He always had a fit body and he was satisfied with it.
But...
Now...
I guess I'm gonna keep this toned body. Remembering her words, "Your abs are all mine to look at." he thought, 'After all, they're not just mine anymore.' He was grinning like an idiot completely unaware of his surroundings.
But there was something that both Xu Mey and Ye Jie forgot completely. First thing was the healthy breakfast that Ye Jie spent hours on and second was our pitiful second young master Ye. Even being in the same space, Ye Jie was treating Ye Jun like thin air. In his dreamland, Ye Jie didn't even notice the arrival of the maid. He ascended the stairs with the same idiotic smile on his face.
His smile shocked the young maid so much that she almost lost her footing.
When Ye Jun was being ignored, he was grumpy until his gaze fell on the healthy food made with love. Even though the love was not for him. But who cares? He will just pretend like it was for him.
He instantly ran to brush his teeth and came back to the dining table. He was rubbing his hands with an invisible drool flowing down his mouth. "My love, my delicious food. You and I both are treated as thin air by those heartless people. But you don't worry at all, this young master is one of your admirers and I'll definitely give you justice by eating you with adulation."
But Ye Jun also forgot a simple detail or rather chose to ignore it. That was; the breakfast was made by Ye Jie and that too for his dear wife, Xu Mey.
