Chapter 242 - Isll Find Him (1/2)

In the silent living room, there was a sound of whimpers suddenly breaking the tranquility of the night. Ye Jie was startled as he saw that the sound of whimpering came from his dear wife.

He ran up to her and asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"

"Ah-Jie," Xu Mey's face was stained with tears as she wrapped her arms around his neck and said in a choked up voice," My sensei is abandoning me."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ye Jie asked with confusion as he kept rubbing his hand on her back to soothe her.

"My sensei," Xu Mey's voice broke in between. "He actually apologized to me. Can you believe that?"

"You didn't want him to?" Ye Jie frowned a bit. 'Wasn't she just sad because of Ru's words?'

"No!" Xu Mey exclaimed. "He's my sensei. He's the only person in my life who had been honest with me. I know everybody loves me but all the other people always sugar-coat their words and never tell me the truth. But sensei was never like that. He had always been brutally honest with me. And I hated that about him." She took a pause to pull herself away from Ye Jie and sniffled a bit. "But his honesty was the thing that made me admire him as well. He had always been at a pinnacle for me. A place where he didn't have to feel bad about what he say or do. Today, when he apologized, I felt like he's breaking himself away from me. And I don't like that feeling at all."

Ye Jie fell into deep thought. "What do you want now, baby?" He asked after much contemplation.

Xu Mey looked at him with her red eyes and replied, "I don't want sensei to abandon me."

Ye Jie nodded and stood up as he offered his hand to her. Xu Mey looked at his hand and then at his face quizzically. "Come, I'll take you to your sensei."

"Huh? Ah-Jie, sensei is the most difficult person to find. How are you gonna take me to him?" Xu Mey questioned rather innocently.

"Leave that to me. I'll find him but," he paused and added after a sigh, "You won't ask anything after seeing him."

Xu Mey was really skeptical about this. How could Ye Jie find her sensei? He only met her sensei once? And even though she trusted Ye Jie and believed in his capabilities, she also was familiar with her sensei. Nonetheless, she chose to hold his hand.

Ye Jie dragged her to his sports car and after settling her in the passenger seat, he took his own seat as the driver.

It took them 2 hours to drive to Imperial and during the ride, Ye Jie didn't say a word to Xu Mey. He had been concentrating on driving without any distraction.

When Ye Jie parked the car that's when Xu Mey noticed that they were somewhere in the mountains and there was only a small bamboo hut before them. There was no light in the hut or outside of it. Only the soft moonlight was illuminating the area making it rather eerie for Xu Mey's liking since she was scared of ghosts.

"Ah-Jie," Xu Mey held Ye Jie's arm as her eyes looked at the scary place. "Why are we here?"
