Chapter 3 - Taking Advantage of Drunk Guys (2/2)

At all the parties, Xu Mey was the final one to exit. Previous night when she was leaving the party, she happened to see Ye Jie blacked out on the bar counter. His head was buried in the crook of his arm as he slept peacefully. Xu Mey looked around and asked the hotel staff to inquire about his room no but since Ye Jie arrived right before the wedding ceremony, he hadn't booked a room for himself.

Due to the wedding season, there was not a single room available. Wu Wang had a female companion which leads to Lin Shen sharing the room with the other two. Thinking about all the possibilities, Xu Mey ushered him to her own Presidential suite.

Coming to the next morning...

She walked out and Ye Jie decided to take a hot shower to ease up his aching body. The ginger drink worked like magic for him. His head was not as heavy as it had been when he woke up earlier. After the shower, he walked to the living area where Xu Mey was busy on her laptop. When she saw him enter, she offered him a cup of coffee while he took a seat opposite of hers.

"Ming Qu left me at the party?" He wasn't asking her but she heard his words.

"What? Do you expect the groom to take care of you on his wedding night?" Her eyes were fixed on the laptop as she asked. "Because I wouldn't expect that. Not even in my wildest dreams." She was shaking her in slow-motion.

Ye Jie nodded his head in understanding. "Thanks for last night." He passed a sincere smile in gratitude.

"It's not a big deal." She saw the way he was chewing his lower lip and said, "If you have something to ask, feel free."

Ye Jie played with a black stone ring on his ring finger while he asked, "How did you guess about my breakup?"

"There are two situations when people drink themselves to the state of fainting; either they are extremely happy or they are awfully sad."

"So, are you extremely happy or awfully sad?" Ye Jie asked after a moment when he remembered the way she drank last night. He clearly remembered that she drank a hell lot more than him but she appeared to be fine.

Xu Mey raised her eyes and glanced at his extraordinary handsome face. "Neither." Just one word was her reply but Ye Jie felt that one word was like a mask that hid a million scars behind it. But he didn't pry any further. 'The prerequisite of feeling happy or sad is; having feelings, to begin with.' Naturally, she wouldn't voice that out.

"I should take my leave now. I've to catch my flight in a few hours." Ye Jie got up from his seat and picked up his last night suit with him.

"Mr. Rain!" Ye Jie heard her leisurely voice and turned to look at her. "Remember, 'While there are green hills, there'll be wood to burn'(Where there is life, there is hope). So, don't be so dishearted 'No man is a perfect man; no gold is sufficiently bare.'(no-one's perfect)"

Her metaphors made him laugh lightly as he bit his lower lip softly. "Thanks for the advice, Ms. Cherry. Hope we see each other again."

Saying that he walked out of her Presidential Suite with a broad smile gracing his handsome features.
