Chapter 71 - He Is A Keeper (2/2)

Xu Mey looked at him and scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "I had some work." She replied in an uncertain way.

Ye Jie sighed and headed to his side of the bed. "Are you scared?" He asked while laying down.

Remembering how she had her head buried in his chest in the morning, a blush tinted her ear red. "Nope... I'm fine." She replied hastily.

Ye Jie saw her embarrassed state with delightful expression. He snaked his arm around her waist pulling her to his own body saying, "We shouldn't take any risk."

Xu Mey was again buried in his chest as his heartbeat felt like soothing music to her. Easing her body and taking away the pain she felt in her muscles. Her weariness took over and she fell asleep instantly.

"I really don't know what's wrong with mom so suddenly. But don't worry, I'll make her like you at all cost and if I can't, then I'll make sure to stand by your side." Ye Jue spoke softly unbeknownst to the fact that she was already asleep. When he felt her steady breathing, he looked down at her face pressed against his heart and couldn't help but smile. "Good night, my dear wife!" He kissed the top of her head and hugged her even closer to his body before closing his eyes.

The next morning, as usual, both of them had small interactions during the breakfast which was prepared by the maid. Ye Jie asked Qu NaNa to stay back last night because he didn't want Xu Mey to do any work at all. But he knew, she was not going to avoid her office work just like him.

The unusual thing was the parcel that came early in the morning for Xu Mey. Ye Jie received the parcel from a young man who looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered, the young man came to his wedding with a gift for Xu Mey and today he had a parcel for her.

"Sir, pass this on to Ms. Xu, " He said politely extending his hands to pass the parcel to Ye Jie. Ye Jie took the parcel and said,

"I will."

After he closed the door, he looked at the parcel which was actually a wooden box with an intricate design of turtle doves on the cover. The design was so beautifully carved that Ye Jie had the urge to know which artist designed it.

As Xu Mey came to the living room, she saw Ye Jie looking closely at the box in his hand. Noticing her presence, he said, "This came for you." He passed her the box.

She held it with a curious expression but seeing the turtle doves at the top, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She instantly opened the box. She didn't hide the content from Ye Jie.

There were pouches filled with herbs neatly placed inside and a small note was underneath. Xu Mey pulled it out and read it,

"Boil the herbs and drink them before sleeping. It'll calm your senses and help you with sleeping.

Although I don't care about what your mother-in-law is like, I do care about you. Stop trying to impress others. And stop saying you turned your heart into a metal.

Even the hearts made of metal have to burn in the presence of fire inside of us. And the fire of revenge you have will only burn you.

So, instead of burning yourself, try sharing with your husband. Let me tell you, HE IS A KEEPER!!!"

There was no one the note was addressed to and even the sender's name was not written. But how could Xu Mey not know the unique style of her Sensei? But what surprised her was the last sentence. It was very rare for her Sensei to say something nice for anybody. That person only knew how to find faults. But today, the compliment was for Ye Jie, her own husband. She really had no idea what her Sensei was thinking while writing this note.
