Chapter 238 - Tied To Heart (1/2)
Although his words were dripping with sarcasm, all Xu Mey felt was the pain in his beautiful eyes. Xu Mey lost herself in thoughts gazing into his eyes, 'What are you, Ah-Jie? You're angry over such an insignificant thing? Such an insignificant me?'
She slid closer to him and placed her soft hand against his cheek. ”Ah-Jie,” her voice had gone softer as she went on, ”I know I'm not a superwoman. I also know that my single mistake would have led to a grave injury.” Ye Jie closed his eyes as if feeling the pain with just her words of possibilities but Xu Mey didn't stop, she continued, ”But Ah-Jie, now I also know that I am not scared of falling. Because of you...” Ye Jie's lashes fluttered as he gazed into her sincere eyes. ”Now, I know that my Ah-Jie will never let me fall, he'll not only hold me, he will also help me fly instead. How can I be scared of getting hurt when I know that my Ah-Jie is right beside me?”
Ye Jie was at a loss. He really was tongue-tied with his mind running amok. 'Damn! Am I really this easy to placate? When did I turn into someone so fickle?' Then he saw her smiling softly and gently at him and replied to himself, 'Yes. This is it! This damn smile is enough to undo me. Fine! I'm finally a fickle person while my wife is the insidious one. But I'm surely not dropping this look of anger!'
He had determined to keep up the pretense. So what if he was already a puddle of mush? He could at least act. He couldn't be that bad that she'd figure it out.
Thinking this, Ye Jie scoffed and turned his face away from Xu Mey avoiding her eyes. ”You're getting good with words. Even if you think that I'm easy but let me tell you that I'm not that easy. You're in the wrong this time and that fact won't change.” He was avoiding his gaze because he knew he won't be able to pretend if he looked into her eyes but Xu Mey thought that he was really angry and that's why he wasn't even looking at her.
It was very new for her since Ye Jie always gazed into her eyes while he talked to her and it always gave her the confidence to talk. She kept silent for a long while as her mind went blank.
Thinking of something, she smirked to herself and looked at Qi Guan through the rearview mirror and gave him a look. Taking the hint, Qi Guan immediately put the divider up. Ye Jie didn't notice this change until Xu Mey heaved herself up to his lap and wrapped her bare arms around his neck.
”Jie darling can't possibly be this mad at his baby,” she whispered near his ear and even licked his earlobe with her hot tongue making Ye Jie curse inwardly. But Xu Mey didn't plan to stop just there, she caught his earlobe between her teeth and nibbled on it seductively.
”Are you trying to seduce me?” Ye Jie clenched his fists tightly to keep his voice normal.
”Ani!(*) How can I seduce the seduction master himself?” Xu Mey replied innocently as her lips moved to leave feathery kisses all over his jaw.
Ye Jie smiled to himself as he said, ”Seduction master? Who have I seduced?”
Xu Mey stopped her kissing and looked straight into his eyes. She lowered her face and as their foreheads touched and the tips of their respective nose brushed together, she voiced out breathily, ”Me! Jie darling has seduced his baby.”
”When did I do that?” Ye Jie retorted but in a breathless way losing control on his pretense completely.
