Chapter 138 - Disappointment (1/2)

Ye Jie went to pick Xu Mey in the evening but didn't stay for long. He was feeling guilty that he told Xu Mey he'll spend the day with her and yet he ran away.

"Ah Jie," Xu Mey cautiously called him.

"En."

"Are you really okay?" She asked with a worried face.

He smiled looking at the road and replied, "Of course, I'm fine. Baby, stop worrying about me. I'm not that weak."

"Are we going to talk about it?" She asked referring to the discovery of his parents' identity.

"Sorry, baby but not now. We'll talk but it's not the right time. I need some time, okay?" He gave her a sideways look.

"Okay." She agreed. Even she knew that it was not easy for him to accept the changes in his life that soon. After a moment of silence, she asked, "How's Azalea?"

"She's fine." He replied, not telling her about Azalea's waking up. He wanted to surprise her by bringing Azalea home. He knew Xu Mey would be really happy to see her. Also, he needed to surprise both Xu Mey and Azalea at the same time.

While he was smiling to himself, Xu Mey noticed that his smile was very different today. It was almost like he was contented. Like he had found the missing piece of his life all of a sudden. Xu Mey felt relaxed seeing that smile on his face.

Late at night, Xu Mey was stretched out beside Ye Jie with his hand over her stomach and his head in the crook of her neck. He was placing soft kisses making her feel jittery. "Ah Jie," she called out his name.

"Hmm." He hummed distractedly.

"Do you think I'm a bad person?" Ye Jie stopped kissing her and held her shoulder to make her turn her body to face him.

"I don't." He answered with a straight face.

Xu Mey bit her bottom lip and Ye Jie's brown eyes deepened as he followed her movements. "What if I'm really a dark person with no hope?" She asked.

"You can be dark, baby. But not hopeless." He started. Xu Mey lifted her gaze to stare at his handsome face. "I know what dark people look like. I have seen one. As for you, how can you be dark when you are even scared to be alone in dark?" He took a pause to kiss the tip of her nose and added, "Even if you're a bit dark then there is no worry. I'm right here to pull you out of that darkness."

Xu Mey blushed and scooted closer to his body with the side of her face against his heart and her arms wrapped around his back. Ye Jie placed his chin at the top of her head as his one arm stroked her hair and the other one stayed on her waist.

"Ah Jie, who's the dark person you were talking about?" He heard her muffled voice and took a deep breath.

"There is only one. My best friend, Ru." He replied.

"How can you say that she's a dark person?" Xu Mey asked with curiosity.
