Chapter 15 - You Need To Learn A Lesson (1/2)

The memory of Lin Shen's and Sun Ju's first meeting made a sweet fragrance to linger in the air. Lin Shen kissed the top of Sun Ju's head and all his friends scrunched up their nose saying, "Chessy." He ignored them, it was not anything new for seeing his friends to make such comments. He was used to it by now.

"You guys have been together for how long now?" Asked Ye Jun with a curious expression.

"It's gonna been 10 years this summer," Replied Sun Ju with her eyes holding a loving gaze for her fiance.

"And on their 10th anniversary, they're getting married," Xu Mey said the words Sun Ju left unsaid. Making Ye Jun nod in understanding.

All of them were sharing their random experiences when suddenly the lights in the club turned off. "What's going on?" Wu Xia voiced out in fear of darkness.

They saw a candlelit moving towards them. The candle was placed on a cake and a tall person was holding it in hands. 'Who is he?' The question was in everyone's mind except for Xu Mey who got up from her place. "Jun Li Na, you got a way to congratulate huh?" She had a regal appearance matching the other person's grandiose presence.

Lights lit up the club again showing the person's graceful appearance. She looked like a young lady from a noble family that made Ye Jun awestruck. She made an unhappy expression and said in a complaining way, "I closed the club just for you and this is how you say thanks. I even baked this cake myself."

"Aiya, our dark world princess is really improving these days." Jun Li Na placed the cake on the table and narrowed her eyes at Xu Mey with her hands on her waist in an imposing way. Xu Mey chuckled a bit and said, "I was just messing with you, princess."

Both beautiful ladies shared a warm hug and Xu Mey introduced everyone to Jun Li Na. In normal days, Jun Li Na was known as the heiress of a biggest Real Estate Company. But on not so normal days, she was associated with the underworld people because of her family's old history. For people, they were a clean company but Jun's still had connections. Very strong ones at that. Jun Li Na spent her weekends running the illusion nightclub which was her sole business.

Xu Mey only talked about her being an heiress of Real Estate Company and left the other matters untold. Xu Mey blew the candle and cut the cake but since she didn't like eating sweet things, Jun Li Na had Spicy Rice Cakes for her. Xu Mey dug into the spicy rice cakes as if her life depended on it.

They stayed at the club till midnight and finally decided to call it a night. Ye Jie offered to drop Xu Mey which she politely accepted. Ye Jie was driving his red sports car on an empty highway and Xu Mey was looking out the windows at the cold winter night. The lights on the road seemed dreamier and gentler to her, easing up her mind.

Xu Mey observed the way Ye Jie was avoiding her gaze and felt his brooding expression affecting her. "Do you 'Like sitting on a carpet of needles' (To feel tense and uneasy) Because of the wedding tomorrow?"

Ye Jie shook his head with a small smile and turned his attention back to the road. He wasn't nervous about the wedding. In fact, if someone would ask him, he would say he's excited for some reason. The idea of spending his life with the most unpredictable girl was excitement in itself.

Ye Jie's denial didn't ease up the knot in Xu Mey's mind. She had an intuition, he was hiding something from her. Xu Mey never liked the idea of someone keeping things from her. She remembered the way he was looking anxiously at his phone during the party.
