Chapter 278 - For Being Mine (1/2)

Coming back to our dearest couple, keeping his words, Ye Jie took Xu Mey for a vacation over the weekend. While riding the car, Xu Mey kept asking him about the details related to their stay but he kept his mouth shut. Seeing Ye Jie being so secretive about everything, she decided to just wait patiently.

As they came closer, she could hear the sound of the waves as the wind caressed her face gently. It had been years since the last time she had a chance to come to a beach for some leisure time.

When Ye Jie parked the car, Xu Mey was frowning. She climbed down and looked around at her surroundings. They stood at the door of a beautiful mansion on a secluded side of the beach. This probably was the most scenic view of the beach and looking at Ye Jie's smile, Xu Mey ran up to hug him as she said, "I'm so glad that you actually rent this mansion for us."

"I'm glad that you liked it but baby," he looked down into her eyes and added, "I didn't rent it."

"Huh?" Xu Mey was confused. Did he just bring her to show this luxurious beach mansion? Why was she so excited then? What a mood spoiler!

Seeing her fifty shades of expressions in just a moment of silence, Ye Jie was amused. He pinched her nose and pulled her towards a side showing her the nameplate. It read: 'Cherry's Beach House'.

Xu Mey was dumbfounded to see this. She looked at Ye Jie and he answered her, "I didn't rent it. I just bought it... For my baby."

Xu Mey gasped as she covered her mouth in surprise. "This... This is mine?"

"Do I have another baby? I don't think so..." Hearing his reply, Xu Mey's eyes stung with tears as she felt overwhelmed with emotions. Without any warning, Xu Mey's tears cascaded down like a stream of water.

Ye Jie was baffled by this reaction. He had imagined different expressions but crying wasn't one of them. He pulled her in his arms and tried to soothe her by rubbing her back gently as he asked, "Baby, why are you crying?"

"Because I'm happy..." He heard her stifled voice as she kept sniveling against his chest. "I didn't expect you to buy a house for me. I've never bought a house under my name in my entire life. So, I still can't seem to believe that this house is mine."

Ye Jie finally heaved a sigh of relief as he heard her explanation and said, "I thought you didn't like the house. Anyway, now this house is all yours and this husband was already yours. So, please don't cry." Xu Mey chuckled a bit between sobbing softly.

Getting out of his embrace, Xu Mey ran around the mansion like a kid in a candy store. From the huge halls to the 5 bedrooms, she saw everything with a big smile plastered on her face. Ye Jie silently watched her skipping around and felt relieved.

"Do you like it?" He asked as she was wandering in the hallways.

"I love it!" Xu Mey exclaimed in reply.

"Do you love the house or the one who bought the house?" Ye Jie gave her an inquiring look making her giggle.

"Mmm... I love both." After pretending to take a moment to think she replied.

Ye Jie wrapped his arms around her waist and asked childishly, "Which one do you love more?"
