Chapter 197 - Hidden Motives (1/2)

Watching Ye Jie's car depart, Xu Mey was planning on leaving the party herself since Xu Liqing was not there. She only came to the party for Xu Liqing but if her prey wasn't even here then she didn't need to be here as well.

She had just unlocked her phone when she heard a familiar feminine voice, "Mey-Mey!" Xu Mey turned her face and saw Jun Li Na coming towards her with a smile. Although the lighting was a bit dull, Xu Mey could see her puffed up eyes as if she had been crying for a while. "I didn't know you'd be here."

"I didn't expect you here as well even though I should have." Xu Mey commented. Jun Li Na was acting bravely before Xu Mey so, Xu Mey didn't feel like probing her for the reason of her tears.

She knew how much the image mattered to Jun Li Na. She also knew that Jun Li Na would have shared with her if she wanted to.

"Let's go inside," Jun Li Na looped her arm with Xu Mey's and pulled her inside with herself. "Why are you alone?"

"Huh? Oh, Jie had to leave for some urgent work." Xu Mey answered still lost in her thoughts.

"Oh!" Jun Li Na nodded and muttered, "He must love you a lot."

It wasn't a question but Xu Mey still agreed with her saying, "He really does love me a lot." Thinking about Ye Jie, Xu Mey could only smile.

Jun Li Na smiled and said, "You really are lucky." Xu Mey frowned and she continued, "You have so many people who love you. Just take your best friends alone. They love you so much more than I can even imagine. As for your brother-in-law, he seems to be head-over-heels for you as well."

"Huh! What do you mean? How is Ye Jun head-over-heels for me?" Xu Mey asked.

"Well, the other day, he actually had a bit of a teasing contest with Shuang." Jun Li Na related the incident when Ye Jun provoked Shuang with his words. Xu Mey couldn't stop laughing as she heard the complete story.

Especially the part, "If you'll hurt me once, my sis-in-law will kill you twice." That part made Xu Mey want to go and pat on Ye Jun's shoulder. He finally did something worthy of being praised.

Seeing her grin, Jun Li Na asked, "Would you really hurt someone for Ye Jun?"

"Of course!" Xu Mey replied straightforwardly without even thinking.

"Why?" Jun Li Na questioned.

"First, because he's my husband's younger brother and second because he's actually playing the role of my younger brother which I never had." Ye Jun had become very important in her life. With all their interactions, she had come to develop a strange connection with him. Perhaps that's why Ye Jun always came to look for Xu Mey whenever he needed help.

Jun Li Na sighed audibly saying, "It surely is a beautiful connection." She drank the flute in her hand without blinking.
