Chapter 69 - I Learned Cooking To Bribe Someone (1/2)

All of them didn't stay for long. They only advise Xu Mey to take care of her health and threw warning looks towards Ye Jie before leaving. Ye Jie pulled Xu Mey to their bedroom after everyone left.

"I'm really sorry," She heard his faint guilty voice as he made her sit on the bed. She arched her brows in a questioning manner. "Sorry for not being much of help with mom and food."

After comprehending his meaning she said, "It's not much of a deal."

Ye Jie gave a humorless smile. "I would have believed you on normal days. But today, you were sick." He crouched down before her on the ground and held her hands. "I never really disobeyed her. The last time I argued with her was-" He stopped speaking making Xu Mey curious.

"When was the last time?" She asked.

He looked into her black orbs asking, "Do you really wanna know? It... It's actually related to my ex." He was hesitant in his words.

"I have no problem in listening at all." She replied with a straight face. "But you could feel hurt after living through the memory lane."

Ye Jie frowned. "No, I won't. She doesn't have a place in my life or my heart anymore."

"Then why are you getting frustrated?" She asked making his frown deeper. "I believe you when you said she doesn't have a place in your life but when you say she's not in your heart..." She sighed. "I really don't believe you."

"How can I make you believe in my words?"

"It's very simple actually. I'll believe you the day you won't hesitate to talk about her."

"Any reason for that?" Ye Jie placed her legs up on the bed and placed pillows to support her back. Then covered her legs with the duvet.

"My Wang bro had a girlfriend years ago. He fell in love with her and spent an entire year with her. When he met her, he told her that he was a painter. An artist trying to make his name in this big world." She was looking into a distant.

"He lied?" Ye Jie sat beside her on the bed as he asked.

"No... He didn't lie... He was actually trying to make a name for himself through painting during that time. He never liked that girls approached him because he was Wu Wang- the heir of Global Corporations. But he wanted an honest relationship. He thought he found that love in her. Especially when she became pregnant with his child." She took a pause. Ye Jie's whole attention was on her.

"Wang Bro decided to propose her and come clean about his identity but in the end, when he was on his knee, she told him about the abortion. The reason was simple, she didn't want to marry someone who didn't hold an identity worth mentioning, after all, she was supposedly a noble lady from a business family."

Ye Jie was confused. "How is this related to me?"

"Be patient..." She shifted a bit. "It's been almost 8 years and Wang Bro still has a portrait of her in his penthouse. He's known to be a playboy now. But he still has feelings for her." She shook her while sighing.
