Chapter 166 - Special Relationship (1/2)
"Baby, get ready. I'll drop you to the office," Ye Jie spoke after the breakfast but Xu Mey didn't budge an inch.
"Ah Jie, I'm not going to the office today," she retorted indifferently while clearing up the table.
"Why? Are you sick?" Ye Jie came up to her and extended his hand to examine her temperature but Xu Mey knocked his hand away stating,
"I'm absolutely fine." She even whirled to show him that she's really fine and went on, "I'm just going to stay with Azalea. We can't leave her alone at home now, can we? She's still not healthy. She needs company."
Ye Jie pondered for a moment and questioned, "Don't you have important projects going on in the company?"
Xu Mey relinquished a peek to Ye Jie that stated, 'Are you kidding me?' and spoke, "I'm not paying my employees to leisure around all the time. They can handle. And if they can't then they really need to be fired from work."
Ye Jie narrowed his eyes and pondered about how contradicting her own statements are. She didn't even want to take a day off when her own ankle was hurt but now that she wants to accompany Azalea, she has all the time in the world. So, obliquely, she was saying that she didn't have time to waste with him but she has all the time for his sister. How astonishing? Not!
With a sigh, he shook his head lightly and said, "Fine then I'm leaving."
"Okay, bye!" She waved with a smiling face making him scowl.
Ye Jie turned to Azalea saying, "Bye, Zelie! I'll see you in the evening." Azalea nodded while Ye Jie held Xu Mey's wrist and said through gritted teeth, "And you come to see me off for a minute."
Xu Mey scowled but before she could open her mouth, she was dragged by Ye Jie towards the door. He pushed her against the wall and stood facing her.
"Why do I feel-" Xu Mey's words were swallowed back when Ye Jie dipped his head to catch her cherry blossom-like lips between his.
The sudden kiss made Xu Mey's eyes widen a bit but she soon relaxed with his hands around her waist. The moment she closed her eyes to drown in the sweetness of his lips, Ye Jie bit her bottom lip with a little force and pulled away.
"Ouch!" Xu Mey rubbed her lip while scowling at Ye Jie. "What was that for?" She snapped.
"That was to remind you that I'm your husband. How can you give importance to my sister over me?"
"Are you jealous of your own sister now?" She really couldn't discern the reason for his weird actions.
"I'm not jealous of Azalea. I'm mad at you." He lightly tapped her forehead and said, "I had to drag you here for the kiss otherwise you just shooed me away with that wave and 'bye'."
