Chapter 196 - Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me (1/2)

This time, it was Xu Mey's turn to choke on air. She coughed and Ye Jie rubbed his hand on her back to soothe her but his touch only awoke Xu Mey's sleeping hormones.

Gosh! Why is he torturing me? He really seems to enjoy playing with me like this.

Xu Mey shook her head and thought about how did the conversation took this strange turn? They were clearly talking about something else but now they were talking about babies.

The biggest shocker for Xu Mey was that she was actually feeling excited at the idea of having a kid with Ye Jie. The person that could make you feel giddy about the future really is a precious one. Xu Mey wasn't scared of the future anymore, she was actually anticipating it day after day.

The days she spent with Ye Jie was akin to a surprise gift with an infinite layer. Every day they both peeled off a layer and enjoyed the gift of the day. The more she disregarded the presence of Xu Liqing and Fu Lan and most of all her past, the more she felt life was beautiful.

It was Ye Jie's presence that made her realize that even if she snatched the smile off of Xu Liqing's face, that smile won't be hers. Instead, that smile will become a reminder of how she was deceiving herself. A borrowed smile always stays as a borrowed one, it can never become a part of you entirely.

"Ah-Jie, let's get back to the serious topic." Xu Mey took a few steps back making a distance between their bodies as they came down the dance floor.

"Baby, do you think the topic of our kids is not serious?" Ye Jie made a sad face. "Is the idea of having my babies that repulsive to you?"

"I did not say such a thing." Xu Mey argued while Ye Jie smiled at her acting defensive all of a sudden. "Ah-Jie, can we please focus?"

"Okay... I won't disturb now."

"Alright! So, I was saying that you should go and attend to your work." Xu Mey suggested.

"Baby, the work is in Imperial City and it might take a few days there. I really don't want to leave you here." Ye Jie caressed her cheek with his knuckles.

"But the work is important and you should go. I can manage everything here for you."

Ye Jie groaned and said, "I can't just leave my gorgeous wife here all alone."

"Ah-Jie, are you jealous that people are looking at me?" Xu Mey asked teasingly.

"Why would I be jealous?" Ye Jie snorted. He had seen the gazes of men on Xu Mey but it didn't affect him much since he knew one thing as always he reminded himself; she was his and his alone.

"Huh? So, you're not jealous at all?" Xu Mey felt a bit sad.

Ye Jie flicked the space between her brows saying, "My silly baby, why would your Ah-Jie be jealous? They can look all they want, I can't stop them and I don't blame them as well since my baby is so beautiful that it'll be odd if they didn't look at you. I would think something is wrong with their eyes if they didn't look at you."
