Chapter 162 - My Sister (1/2)

Ye Jie was being excessively reticent about the surprise he had for Xu Mey. She asked loads of times during the drive from office to home but he didn't bother telling at all.

His silence left Xu Mey with her wildly ingenious mind to run amok.

"Are you ready for the surprise?" Ye Jie turned to ask Xu Mey at the doorstep of their house.

Xu Mey shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly trying to attest that she wasn't that eager. "Ready as I can be."

Ye Jie smiled and opened the door wide for Xu Mey. She swaggered indoors with her eyes darting around to look for the surprise. But all she noticed was that everything was precise as she left it in the morning.

'Ha? Where is this damn surprise?' She howled inside her mind. But all of a sudden, her ink-black eyes fell on a slender figure clad in a completely white dress with her long hairs falling over her face in a mess.

Xu Mey was seriously taken aback by that sight as she staggered back and held Ye Jie's sleeve. One thing Xu Mey never told anyone in her life was that she was super scared of ghosts. And yes, she even believed in them.

No matter how much someone says that ghosts are just your imagination, she won't believe it at any cost. For her ghosts are real and that's it. Final... No further discussion needed!

Seeing Azalea sitting like a ghost scared Xu Mey at some level and Ye Jie noticed it. He rolled his eyes and said, "Zelie, what the hell are you doing?"

Azalea pulled her hair back from her face and looked at Ye Jie standing before her. "What did I do?" She emphasized her words with hand gestures.

"Pull your hair back." He said to Azalea and turned to Xu Mey who was staring at Azalea with wide-eyes. That's when Azalea regarded the presence of Xu Mey and peered at her with voyeurism.

"Jie-Ge, is she your wife?"

"Is she for real or am I hallucinating?"

Both Azalea and Xu Mey spoke simultaneously and glanced at each other.

"Yes, Zelie. She's my wife, Xu Mey." Ye Jie answered Azalea's question and turned to Xu Mey, "Baby, you're not hallucinating. She's real and this was the surprise, I wanted to give you."

"She's fine?" Xu Mey asked while peering at Azalea. Even though Azalea's body looked wan but her cheeks were rosy indicating that she was healthy. Her eyes were even bright and twinkling.

"Well, I'm as fine as I can be," Azalea answered her question and paced up to Xu Mey with narrowed eyes. She circled around Xu Mey's body studying her with a finger tapping at her chin in a thoughtful manner. "Not bad." Azalea concurred.

Being appraised like that was a completely new encounter for Xu Mey and she wasn't sure about what to say. Therefore, she chose to say, "Thank You!" with a bit of a dilemma.

Xu Mey's discomfiture was broken when through the opened door came the voice, "Sis, I've been calling you for an hour now. Why are you not answering?" Ye Jun trudged inside with an accusing glare at Xu Mey.
