Chapter 9 - Future Wife, Future Husband? (2/2)

"Woah, Big Brother, you're not even married yet and already cheating on your fiance with this beautiful fairy." He walked towards Xu Mey and extended his hand as he introduced himself, "Hi! I'm Ye Jun. And may I know this beautiful person's name?" He had a wolfish expression not hiding his intentions even for a second.

Xu Mey looked at his extended hand and then back at his face which didn't look similar to Ye Jie at all. "I'm Ms. Useless Wretch." Her introduction made Ye Jie choke on his tea as he sprayed the tea out. Ye Jun stood there wide-eyed looking at her with an ugly expression.

"Brother, she's your fiance?" He wanted his brother to say no so badly but receiving a nod from Ye Jie. "Sh*t!" He cursed loudly. As if remembering something, he turned to his brother who was enjoying his expression he asked, "You told her that?"

Before Ye Jie could open his mouth, Xu Mey made a gesture with her hand to shut him and said, "I have my ways of knowing. Mr. I can't spend my life with someone like that. This time, I'll 'Replace weapons with jade and silk.' But if there is a next time, remember 'If you don't do stupid things you won't end up in tragedy.'" She patted his cheek like an elder giving lessons to a kid and sat beside Ye Jie on the couch.

Ye Jie still held the amusing expression and when she sat down beside him, he couldn't help himself as he caressed her head and said in a low murmur, "You were awesome just now, Future Wife."

Xu Mey was having the laugh of the day, inwardly but her outer expression was like a serene illustration. When Ye Jun's embarrassment wore off, he looked behind at his brother caressing the girl beside him with a pleasant smile. It had been months for Ye Jun to see his brother's real smile and not the forced one. His pleasant smile brought an involuntary smile to linger on his own lips.

"Future husband," Ye Jie gave all his attention to Xu Mey when she called, "There is a vacant room, I want that." Her demanding tone made his already pleasant mode to sore through the roof for an unknown reason.

"All yours."

"I can bring someone to decorate it?"

"If it's already yours, do whatever you want to."

"Okay, thanks." She said with a broad smile showing her cute dimple to him. In her excitement, she even granted him with a peck on his cheek before picking her coat and walking out briskly leaving the two dumbfounded brothers behind.

If the kiss was unexpected for Ye Jie, it was a lot more shocking to Xu Mey herself. She was a devil who was a naive little girl when it came to relationships or romantic involvements with the opposite gender. Inside the house, Ye Jie touched his cheek where her cherry like delicate lips stroked like a fleeting feather. While outside the house, Xu Mey skimmed her slim fingers on her lips which stroked his cheek.
