Chapter 331 - Awkward Lies (1/2)

"Little Mey, look what I got for you," Wu Wang pushed a huge teddy bear inside and Xu Mey's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wang Ge, what is that?" Xu Mey was eating mouthfuls of porridge contently but looking at that teddy bear bigger than her own self, she frowned.

"It's a teddy bear." Wu Wang answered matter-of-factly just to tease his little Mey.

"Oh! How cute! I didn't know it was a teddy bear." Xu Mey rolled her eyes with sarcasm.

Wu Wang smiled widely at her and pinched her nose. Xu Mey swatted his hand away and asked, "Why did you bring it here?"

"For you."

"Don't you think I'm old enough not to play with stuffed teddy bears?" Suddenly, a fascinating look flashed in her eyes as she added, "Besides I have my own personal teddy bear now. His name is... Ah-Jie."

Listening to her flaunting her love so brazenly, Wu Wang felt strange in his heart. Remembering how Jie was still unconscious after two weeks of the accident, he felt bitter in his heart. But he couldn't let his little Mey find anything odd. Therefore, he controlled his expressions and tried to crack a joke just to lighten up the mood.

"Little Mey, just because you have Jie now doesn't mean you have to torture a single dog like me all the time with this dog food. This is so unfair!" He was sulking with a pout like a little kid.

Xu Mey laughed at his expression and hugged him saying, "Wang Ge if you're that jealous, why don't you find a partner for yourself. Dr. Yang Ziyi is not bad in my opinion."

"What? That blockhead doctor and me? Sheesh! Don't make me cringe!" He looked horrified but Xu Mey knew he was pretending. She had seen the way he'd been treated Yang Ziyi during her stay at the hospital. She still wasn't sure why they were not letting her go back home. Also, her Jie was not coming to see her at all.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her looking down, he asked with concern.

"Wang Ge, do you think Ah-Jie doesn't love me anymore?"

"What nonsense are you thinking about?"

"Then tell me why hasn't he come to see me? Is work more important than me?" Xu Mey looked aggrieved and it broke Wu Wang's heart. He had never seen her this disheartened before.

He sat beside her to give her a side hug before saying, "What are you saying? He was sitting by your bedside all night? He's already worried about his work and with you being here, he's exhausting himself."

"He was here?" Xu Mey looked surprised but excited.

"Of course! But when he came, you were sleeping. He didn't disturb you because you need plenty of rest." Wu Wang lied straight through his teeth. He had to. It was previously decided that no one will disclose Jie's condition to her 'till she is stabilized.

"Why was I sleeping like a dead person? I wanted to see my Ah-Jie." Xu Mey whined to him.
