Chapter 292 - Time To Heal (1/2)

Xu Mey had to say goodbye to Jun Li Na with a heavy burden on her heart. Although her heart knew that whatever Jun Li Na said was true, she still wasn't feeling okay with letting her leave like this. She knew if Ye Jun got to know about this, he'd be really sad.

She only chose to promise Jun Li Na because she knew that it wasn't the time to tell Ye Jun anything. He'd have a lot to deal with now that his mother was sent to prison. There was no way that the Zhu family would let Zhou Ning out for the rest of her life. That was already heartbreaking enough for Ye Jun and she didn't want to add to his troubles by bringing up Jun Li Na's matter.

With complicated feelings, Xu Mey made her way back to the Peach Estates. She needed someone to talk to at this time and Ye Jie was the best option she had.

When she came home, Ye Jie was going through some documents in the living room. Xu Mey paced up to his side and perched down right beside him. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes feeling weary all of a sudden.

"My baby seems to be really tired," commented Ye Jie as he stroked her hair gently. Xu Mey hummed in response and stayed quiet not knowing how to bring up the drama that unfolded at the airport.

"Ah-Jie, Jun Li Na left the country." Ye Jie placed the documents in his hand down, asking her the details. Xu Mey related the whole conversation with Jun Li Na to Ye Jie without skipping out anything. "I think she shouldn't have break Jun's heart like this."

Seeing her taking sides, Ye Jie smiled softly and said, "If for a second you'll try to think from her perspective, you'd know that what she did isn't wrong." Xu Mey didn't expect him to say this. "She had loved a man for a decade. Not just loved him, she actually changed herself for him. And one day, her dignity, love, emotions, and whatever she held dear was squashed by that same person."

"But Jun is offering her a new beginning with his sincerest feelings. What's so difficult in just giving him a chance?" Xu Mey argued with a scowl.

"There is nothing wrong except for the fact that Ye Jun was there to watch her crumble down right before his eyes," said Ye Jie.

"What?" Xu Mey didn't understand his meaning.

"For Jun Li Na, Jun was the man who admired her. Can you even fathom her feelings when she saw that pitiful look in Jun's eyes? The eyes where she only saw a fawning and admiring look, she had to see pity for herself." Xu Mey's heart shook a bit as everything became clear to her. "She didn't leave him... In my opinion, she's giving herself a chance to heal. In this state, she'd only be feeling pity for even herself. Therefore, she needs time before she could think about love again."
