Chapter 274 - Sweet Poison (2/2)

"If you have a headache then you shouldn't be working this late. Now, sit down and don't move." Xu Mey spoke sternly. She came behind him and with her soft fingers, she started massaging his temples.

Ye Jie held her hands and tilted his face. "What are you doing? I'll be fine with this ginger tea." He knew she was tired and didn't want to tire her further.

"Oho! Ah-Jie, drink your tea. Don't bother me. Massaging is also helpful," Xu Mey remarked with a sweet smile and got back to work.

"You're also tired and I don't want you to worry about this insignificant headache," Ye Jie said softly but his words touched Xu Mey's heart too deeply. She felt giddy inside as she tought, 'Aww! Such a sweetheart my Ah-Jie is. How can he worry about me at this time when he's suffering from pain? I'm surely gonna drown in his sweetness. Wait! I think I'm already drowned with no way out!'

Xu Mey came around the sofa and perched herself onto Ye Jie's thighs with her arms around his neck. She looked straight into his eyes saying, "If my Ah-Jie is my priceless treasure, how can anything related to him be insignificant?" She caressed his cheek and added, "I don't like that frown you have because of the headache. It must be a pretty bad headache. But you won't tell me just so that I won't worry. Can't you stop thinking about my feelings for a second and focus on yourself?"

Ye Jie smiled to himself and placed his hands on her waist saying, "I can deal with any pain as long as it doesn't get you involved." He kissed her forehead softly and didn't stop her from massaging his head. After observing her face for a while, he asked, "Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?"

Xu Mey almost choked on air at his words. She knew it was impossible to escape from his scrutinizing gaze. "Nooo... I'm not! How can I hide anything from you?"

Ye Jie didn't believe her even for a second. The way she dragged 'no' was a clear pointer that she did something she shouldn't have. The question was; what? But before he could voice out his question, Xu Mey interrupted him. "Ah-Jie, it's weekend. I want to go out on a mini vacation."

Her plan of distracting him worked since this 'mini vacation' part caught Ye Jie's attention. It was rare for Xu Mey to suggest a vacation and obviously, Ye Jie was more than happy to comply as he asked, "Where does my baby want to go?"

Xu Mey thought for a moment before her eyes brightened up as she answered him excitedly, "Let's go to the beach."

Ye Jie smiled at her innocence. This was the first time she asked for something and that was also just for a vacation to the beach? How simple minded she was, he really couldn't fathom anymore.

"Okay! We'll leave tomorrow," Ye Jie agreed, which was exactly how Xu Mey had expected.

She planted a big kiss on his mouth saying, "Thank you, Ah-Jie! My husband is the best!"

Hearing her giggles and seeing her infectious excitement, Ye Jie felt his headache subsiding and it wasn't surprising to him at all. If her love was his life's sweet poison then she was surely the cure of it herself.
