Chapter 144 - Taking A Whole New Advantage (1/2)

Early morning when Xu Mey opened her eyes and was greeted by his face close to her. Ye Jie was still sleeping with a serene look on his face. When the sunlight fell on his face through the sheer curtains, it seemed to have brightened up his face.

Xu Mey kept staring at his closed eyes as the memories of last night invaded her mind making her blush uncontrollably. She looked under the duvet and saw that she was still completely naked. The duvet on his body had slid down to leave room for her to gawk at his toned muscles. She felt the urge to run her hand all over his chest and she did. Her hand caressed all the parts of his exposed muscles but she didn't feel satisfied.

Ye Jie's eyes twitched a bit and he couldn't pretend anymore. "Like what you see?" Xu Mey jerked a bit at his sudden question. Also, because she remembered it was the same question she asked him when they first met. She was about to retract her hand when Ye Jie held her hand and placed it back on his chest. He opened his groggy eyes and looked at her. "What are you trying to escape? After taking advantage of me?"

Xu Mey pouted and retorted. "I was not."

Ye Jie chuckled and said, "Okay... You might not be taking advantage of me but don't forget that you have a lot to answer."

Xu Mey lowered her gaze. "Like what?"

"Hmm..." Ye Jie made a thoughtful expression. "Like why my brother knew that you're President Xu but I didn't?" This was what vexed him in the first place. So, he needed an answer for sure.

"I didn't tell him." Ye Jie frowned. "Trust me, I did not. Let's just say that he got to know because of his friend somehow. And I was not trying to hide it from you on purpose. I just needed to keep it a bit secretive to avoid suspicions from Fu Lan." She answered honestly. "Do you not like me being President Xu?" She asked staring into his eyes.

He pulled her closer to himself and replied, "Of course not. I'm over the moon that my baby is such an awesome person. How can I not like it? How can anyone not like it?" Xu Mey relaxed a bit and suddenly remembered something.

"Oi! Even you hid the fact that you own Glow Gemstones." She looked at his accusatory. Finally, she remembered this detail. Last night, he played with her emotions and hormones so well that she completely let it slip her mind. Now, her mind was a bit clearer since she was not floating in clouds anymore.

"What you couldn't dig that part up when you were checking my background?" He asked with amusement.

"No... It was nowhere that you're Jacob. Also, when I investigated Mr. Jacob, I got to know that he was a fat old man."

Ye Jie chuckled. "Baby, there are two Jacobs in Glow Gemstones. Since I can't come before the public, he takes my position and people think that he's the CEO." Ye Jie explained making Xu Mey's mouth open like a goldfish.

At a sudden reminder, he pulled her closer and said, "I remember reading somewhere that President Xu's husband is better than a woman's Prince Charming." Xu Mey tried to lower head when she remembered that email she wrote to CEO of Glow corporation not knowing that it was Ye Jie. He placed his index finger under her chin and lifted her head but she didn't lift her eyes up as he continued, "He's handsome but he also has flaws that make him perfect. Those flaws make him real and make President Xu curious to know what love is like. And he has the ability to make her heart beat like a drum. And the most important part was..." He made a thoughtful look as if forgot the last part.

"He makes me speechless with just his words." She completed his sentence and lifted her eyes to look at him grinning at her.

"Do I really have the ability to make you speechless?" He asked gazing into her dark eyes.

"First, it was your words that made me speechless. Now, your whole existence makes me speechless." Although she spoke with annoyance her eyes were saying otherwise. "I also heard that Mr. Jacob wishes to hear the same words from his wife and believed that it was his wishful thinking." She wasn't forgetful as well, she remembered his words very well.

"I think the wishful thinkings are not that bad." He remarked. "We left somewhere last night, don't we have to continue?"
