Chapter 320 - Hate-Relationship (1/2)

Xu Mey was drying her wet hair as she looked at Jie's reflection in the mirror. He had been leaning on the headboard, seemingly trying to contact someone.

"Ah-Jie, who are you calling?" Xu Mey finally voiced out her question seeing the deep frown between his brows. "And who is making you so worried?"

Jie threw his phone on the bed and walked up to Xu Mey's side. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he started massaging gently. "No one is making me worried except for my wife."

"Huh? What did I do?" Xu Mey asked uncertainly.

"Baby, you spent hours in the kitchen. You tire yourself out for no good reason."

"Haven't you seen the happiness on everyone's face?" Jie nodded his head. "Then it was all worth it."

He shook his head at her and bent down to pick her up. Laying her down on the huge bed, he sternly said, "For me, your happiness matters a lot but I can't let you ruin your health in the process. Be nice and stop over-exerting yourself all the time." Lowering his face, he planted a soft kiss on her forehead and pulled away.

As she laid on the bed, she felt tired all of sudden. Rubbing her eyes, trying to keep them open, she sat up again.

"Ah-Jie," she called out to him while he was again looking through his cellphone.

"Hmm..." He hummed in reply distractedly.

"Dad asked me to think about something. I need your suggestion." Jie immediately let go of his phone, seeing the serious look on her face.

"What is it?"

"Dad asked me to meet his first wife." Xu Mey answered in a plain voice. She talked about her mother as if she was just casually discussing a stranger.

Jie stayed quiet for a long while as he pressed his lips together in a straight line. He didn't know what to say. Could he possibly tell her to go and meet her mother? Or could he just stop her from doing so? Both possibilities didn't appeal to him very much.

He scooted closer to her, grabbed her head and let her lean it on his shoulder before opening his mouth to say, "If I say don't go, I'd be doing it just to make you feel at ease since you don't go to meet that woman. But if I say that you should go, that'd be me being biased. Because I want you to talk to that woman. Perhaps it might solve whatever bad blood there is."

"It won't solve anything. None of her excuses can change my opinion of her." Xu Mey said promptly in a bitter way.
