Chapter 22 - He Is Dangerous For Me (1/2)

There are plenty of things people fall in love with. Some love rainy days while others love clear blue skies. Some fall in love with a rose while others fancy the cactus. Some love bright days while some enjoy the darkness of the night. But there is always something people love.

Why? Because love is a feeling you can't control. It's not like a rope, you could hold whenever you want to or let it slip away when you feel like it.

But fear is not that different from love. Some people are scared of commitment and love. Some are scared of death and some are just scared of life itself.

We can't possibly control fear as well. Fear is also an uncontrollable feeling.

But love and fear have something in common. Both teach a person a lesson. A lesson of survival. A lesson of growth. A lesson of 'life'.

Xu Mey learned the lesson of 'life' from fear. Love was foreign to her. And the worst of all fears in life is the fear of unknown.

When Ye Jie brought Xu Mey back to his mansion, it was almost past 9 o'clock. Since she was familiar with the house, she didn't need Ye Jie's help to find her way to the bedroom. But he still led her to his, oh no, their bedroom upstairs.

He unlocked the door and pushed it lightly. The fragrance of roses was pervading the candlelit room. Observing her surroundings and that bed filled with rose petals, Xu Mey's jumbled up mind went into hysteria.

Ye Jie was surprised to see the room himself but watching Xu Mey's pale face was amusing. He hid the surprised look along with his amusement with coyness. "I hope my wife liked the arrangements... for the wedding night."

His low husky voice made her heart skip a beat. She tried to walk away from his reach but to her dismay, he held her wrist in his hand. She licked her lips before biting her lower lip to get her senses back.

He pulled her wrist and her body crashed into his broad chest.

'Pull yourself together, Mey! This is not the first time you're in close proximity to a man. Stop being so girly.' Xu Mey's inner-self was bellowing in rage.

'But I am a girl. And what's so wrong with acting like one. Once in a while.' Xu Mey rebutted.
