Chapter 264 - Ah-Jie Smitten By His Baby (1/2)

Sluggishly, Xu Mey opened the door of the house and stepped inside. Keeping her eyes open was a battle in itself. She dragged her exhausted self to the living room and thinking that she had reached the couch, she let go of her body.

But in her weary state, she didn't see that she had just reached the entrance of the hall, the couch was feet away from her. Fortunately, before her body could land on the marble floor, Ye Jie ran up to catch her. She would have landed face front on the hard floor if not for Ye Jie approaching her at lightning speed.

The familiar lavender scent made her rub her eyes to see and her exhausted body immediately got recharged as she wrapped her arms around his neck excitedly, "Ah-Jie, you're back! Why did you just come now? Your baby's been missing you so much."

Ye Jie held her face and frowned seeing the condition of her face. "What have you been doing in the past two days while I was gone?"

Xu Mey placed her head against his chest feeling the warmth of his body and mumbled softly, "I was at the hospital."

"Why? Is your dad okay?" Ye Jie thought her father was again hospitalized.

"Dad is fine, thankfully! But it was Wang Ge..." She related the whole events of the last two days while dragging her words a bit unnecessarily.

"You must be exhausted," Ye Jie remarked and Xu Mey snuggled up closer to him as she nodded like an innocent bunny. Our Ah-Jie who was already smitten by his baby felt a tug at his heart seeing her in such a state.

He bent a bit and picked Xu Mey in his arms. "Have you eaten anything?" Ye Jie asked close to her ear and she shook her head in her half sleeping state. He could only roll his eyes since she had a habit of acting perfunctorily.

He took her straight towards the bathroom and helped her in removing all the dirty clothes off of her body as he filled the bathtub with hot water for her. He placed her body in the hot water and said, "Baby, I'll be right back. Don't sleep in the tub." Xu Mey rubbed her eyes like a kitten and nodded her head vigorously.

Ye Jie came out to call the maid to make some light dinner for Xu Mey and when he went back to the bathroom he was stunned. Xu Mey did exactly what he told her not to do, she slept in the bathtub and was now coughing loudly to get the water out of her lungs.

Ye Jie came to her side and she smiled cheekily at him. "Baby, I told you not to sleep." He was trying to control his anger as he supported her body and helped her in taking the bath.
