Chapter 12 - Never Lived To Tell The Tale (2/2)

Mother Ye looked at him with a tender look in her eyes. A stranger could tell from the way she looked at him, how much she doted on him. She gave a hug to both her sons and said, "Send the bride's dress to Ye Residence and I'll just send some food for you both in a second." With that Mother Ye walked out of her son's house.

Actually, Ye Residence and Ye manor, Ye Jie's house were not that far apart. There were only a couple of manors between them.

"Brother, you're getting married. You should change the passcode. Everybody knows your passcode. Only give me the new passcode, okay?" Ye Jun suggested and Ye Jie slapped the back of his head playfully.

Mother Ye sent the food almost instantly to Ye manor where both brothers were arguing and in their argument, they forgot about a certain someone who was still sitting behind the couch. Seeing the food, they remembered her existence in the room and came around the couch to see her.

There she was sitting in a knee position on her heels with her gaze glued to the trash can that contained her spicy-spicy noodles and that hot-hot soup. Her lips were trembling like she was going to cry any minute. Ye Jie's lips twitched at the sight of her. He tried really hard to control himself. But she looked so adorable that he couldn't control it any longer.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to cry?" Ye Jun asked in between his laughing fit. He always felt light in the presence of Xu Mey. She was honest and very straightforward. He loved that about her.

She tilted her head a bit, he crouched down beside her. "Why will I cry? The number of times, I cried in my life can be counted on one hand while the number of times, I made others cry... Hehehe... You can't tell." Her creepy laugh scared Ye Jun's, poor heart.

"This is not fair. I really wanted to eat that," She was sulking but Ye Jie was smiling.

He gave her his hand as he said, "Come get up from the cold floor first." Xu Mey took his hand without any argument. He pulled her straight to his chest and buried her in his embrace. That scent of cinnamon wafted into her nostrils making her feel dizzy. In her dizziness, she heard his husky voice near her ear as he said in a low murmur, "I'll get you the spiciest noodle when you move in, okay?" She nodded in his embrace without looking at his expression. Ye Jie kissed her hair before letting her go.

Upon seeing their PDA, Ye Jun was left with a lonely feeling in his heart.
