"Ding!"
The sound of Xu Mey's computer got her attention and she walked up to her desk. She leaned a little to see the content of the email that she received. An alluring yet menacing smirk appeared on her cherry lips.
Ye Jun felt a chill emitting from her body and shivered reflexively. "Sis Mey, what got you into this mood?"
She languidly sat back at her chair and raised her head to glance at Ye Jun. "What do you mean?" She asked innocently but this time Ye Jun was not fooled at all by her acting.
He narrowed his eyes in suspicion and said, "Sis, I heard about President Xu's nature and people say that she has a habit of being amused when she plans to hunt someone. Right now, you have that strange smirk that is giving me chills."
Listening to his explanation, Xu Mey smiled innocently and said, "Little brother!"
"Huh?" Ye Jun was shocked beyond belief at the way she called him little brother with so much feels that he was frozen to his spot just staring at her.
"Since you already know that I'm President Xu then there is no need to hide much from you." She paused for a bit as the smile on her face widened. "There is a dunce Princess coming to Vintage tomorrow. And I... plan to hunt her. Tomorrow's highlight news will be very interesting."
Ye Jun gulped loudly. The look in Xu Mey's eyes felt like the frozen Mount Everest to Ye Jun. He literally could feel himself freezing up in this close proximity. He was thanking his good luck that saved him from being a part of her enemies.
He suddenly remembered a piece of news he had heard recently. "Sis the Princess you just talked about, is it Xu Liqing? Your so-called sister?"
"Yes, it surely is her." She replied with candor.
"Can I watch the live show?" He asked with making his eyes glistening with hope and plead.
"Hmm... Well..." Xu Mey had a thoughtful look as if she was pondering over this idea.
"I will cheer you on and I'll also get the chance to see the might of my sis." He was brimming with energy. "We will raze her to the ground together."
"No need to go overboard, little brother." Xu Mey started. "But why do you really hate Xu Liqing so much? It can't be just because of her nature."
Ye Jun waved his hand. "Tsk... She's a manipulative person and I don't like such people."
Xu Mey reclined back in her chair saying, "I'm also a manipulative person."
Ye Jun shook his head while shaking his index finger and said, "Sis, you're not manipulative. You're a calculative person."
Xu Mey quirked her brows in an amused manner. "And how are both different?"
"Aiyo!" Ye Jun sighed. "Sis, manipulators are devious while calculative people are shrewd." He opened his mouth to say something else but Xu Mey's next words made him swallow them back.
"Just like you, little brother." Ye Jun looked at her with confusion. Xu Mey gave him a half smile and leaned ahead to spin a pen on her desk saying, "If you think, you're the only one who is holding my secret then you're very wrong. I happen to know you better than your own family."
"Really? What do you know?" Ye Jun was not much surprised. If she was President Xu then it was given that she would have done her homework on him.
"Hmm... There are a lot of things..."
"For instance?"
"For instance, you being an ingenious person. Also, how you can't drink alcohol and yet you try to make people believe that you are always partying out with girls. And I also know how much you love your brother." Ye Jun was listening attentively to all that she said with a sad smile on his face. "You could have handled this e-sports project with ease yet you played the bad guy. What I don't know is, why? Why do you want to be bad and useless for the world? Are you trying to make your brother a hero or are you trying to just drag him down?"
"It does have to do with bro. But not like what you think." He took a deep breath and got up from the chair to pace up to the window to gaze at the back garden. "You must have noticed our mother's partiality with bro." Xu Mey nodded. It wasn't that hard to see anyway. "If I'll act good and work diligently then my brother's efforts will be ignored completely. I always had to take all the credit for his hard work from a young age and I got tired of seeing that my brother had to take the backseat while I was always in the frontline."
"So, to make your brother a hero, you became a lazy side character?" Xu Mey was really surprised to see that Ye Jun's love and care for Ye Jie was to that extent. She suddenly was scared of the time when Ye Jun would get to know that Ye Jie is not his real brother.
"I'm very happy being a side character." He replied with a goofy grin. He stayed quiet for a moment and said, "Sis, there are secrets in our family as well and they are scary. Those secrets were the reason bro's ex, left him but please, if you get to know about those things just remember that no matter what, bro is a very nice person."
Xu Mey frowned. "What do you know, little brother?" She needed to see whether her suspicion was right or not. "Do you know that Ah Jie is not your-?"
Ye Jun's stiffened listening to her words. "How do you know that?" He asked.
"I should be the one asking that. How do you know that? And since when do you know it?"
He didn't reply instantly. He was just staring into her black orbs that seemed to shook him inside. "I've known since I was 15 years old... That's when I learned that bro and I are not blood-related."
