As the saying goes: 'The best thing you could give someone is a Chance.'
It might not seem like a big deal to the one giving the chance but the one who gets that chance can't possibly say in words how much it means to him.
But for people like Xu Mey who's thinking is like: "How can he possibly love a girl covered in scars? The scars that are even yet to heal." Giving that chance is akin to showing their scars. Now, it's up to the other person whether that person puts salt on them or makes those scars go away.
No matter which path Ye Jie takes in the future; healing her or hurting her. For her, it was a great foot to even give that chance to him.
Her lips curled slightly upward while she kept looking at that daisy flower in her hand. You're turning into an interesting person Mr. Rain.
It took her a while to concentrate on her pending designs. Since the Paris investors were important, Xu Mey designed each jewelry piece herself. But what Qin Hao told her in the office was still in her mind. It is not difficult to deal with shameless people, you just have to be even more shameless than them.
And staying with her shameless best friends had already brought a huge change in her. Since you would like to play my dear step-mother, let's play this game then. I would love to see whether you're more shameless or I'm more wicked.
After devising the counterattack, Xu Mey left the office for some sleep. Ye Jie was already sleeping soundly under the comfort of the duvet. He must be tired. He didn't sleep last night as well. Xu Mey pulled the duvet further up to cover his upper body as she looked at his peaceful face. His face was emitting a calm aura which made her feel at ease just by looking at him.
She positioned herself on her side of the bed and fell asleep instantly. Whether it was because she was mentally tired or because his aura was too strong was one of those mysteries which are meant to stay as mysteries.
When Xu Mey woke up the next morning, Ye Jie was already clad in his silver-grey tailor-made suit. There was a limited edition Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. There were two bright blue diamond studs on his cufflinks. A simple yet elegant rose flower brooch was pinned to his lapel.
"You're awake?" Feeling her gaze, he looked up at her sitting figure.
"Isn't it too early to leave for office?" She noticed it was only 6:30 in the morning and he was already set to leave.
Ye Jie walked up to her, bent his body to leave a fleeting kiss on her head. "It's early. But I need to settle everything soon. After all, I have a dinner date with my wife." Ye Jie gave another kiss on her head as he caressed her hair before leaving.
Huh? Wasn't it just a dinner? How did it turn into a dinner date?
Xu Mey was nonchalant about it before but now that the dinner turned into a date, she was freaking out.
Oh well... It's not much different. Dinner and dinner date are exactly the same. Let's take it as the same thing.
She convinced herself before getting up to take a shower. Clad in her comfy bathrobe, she walked inside the closet. Usually, Xu Mey picked the dress that came in front of her. She was about to pick casual jeans and shirt when Ye Jie's handsome look in the morning suddenly popped up in her mind. She looked around her clothes to look for something special. But let's face it, she didn't keep any special clothes.
All her clothes were either casual or formal with no exception. She rubbed her head in confusion. If she decided to call any of her friends, she knew about their reactions.
Xu Mey would say: "I'm going on a dinner date."
Wu Wang would be like: "Are you sick somewhere, honey Mey?"
Lin Shen: "Oh! So, he's trying to woo his wife."
Li Qiao: "You look nice in anything. Don't bother choosing, Mey-Mey."
Jun Li Na: "Wear something sexy. He should know how beautiful his wife is."
As for He Jian: "No comment, Baby Mey."
They really are useless sometimes. Now, she had two options; Either to call Sun Jun or Yu Kim. But knowing Sun Ju, she'd make her wear an exclusive dress designed by her. Xu Mey didn't want to wear a dress. So, she decided to call Yu Kim in the end.
"Hello!" Yu Kim's sweet voice came from the other end.
"I need your help." Xu Mey got straight to point.
"How can I be of help?"
"I can't decide what to wear. Ye Jie asked me to go out on a dinner date with him." Yu Kim was smiling at her sentence.
"Wear anything for now. I'll bring something over to you at noon." Yu Kim replied after a pause.
"Okay." After the call, Xu Mey picked up a plain washed up jeans with a white sweater and a pair of sneakers to go with it.
She first went to Ye Jun's room to check up on him but his bed was empty and he was nowhere in sight. *Ding* She received a message. It was a text message from Ye Jie. It read: 'Don't worry about Jun. Mom called him back home.'
Xu Mey felt relaxed and didn't ponder much on it. Taking her bike keys, she left the house.
