Chapter 385 - Words Are Not Wrong (1/2)

Just as Xiamu had predicted, how could Jie stay calm knowing his wife wasn't planning on coming back home? Jie showed up at Xu Residence in the middle of the night.

”What do you have to say now?” Xiamu gave a sly smile to Xu Mey who was yawning with sleep-filled eyes. ”Didn't I say he'll come?”

Xu Mey didn't plan on arguing with him at this time and that's why she went straight to Jie. ”Ah-Jie, why are you here?”

”I missed you...” He answered plainly while raking his fingers through his thick hair.

”But it's midnight. You could have waited till morning. It's not safe to drive at this time.” She nagged like a typical housewife.

”Again, I missed you.” Jie made his point clear with the same sentence again.

”Yes, I know but...” She was getting exasperated when he cut her off.

”At this point, you should be saying, you missed me as well.” With these words, Xu Mey was left speechless.

”Whatever... I'm going to sleep.” She turned to Xiamu saying, ”Help your brother-in-law find a change of clothes.”

”Yes, boss!” Xiamu replied solemnly. She rolled her eyes at him before ascending the stairs leaving those two in the hallway.

Just as Xu Mey had said, Xiamu brought his own casual wear for Jie to change into and said, ”I think these will fit you.” Jie took the clothes and nodded. ”Let me know if you need anything else.”

”Will do,” Jie said and made his way to Xu Mey's bedroom but stopped in the middle of the stairs to say, ”Brew some tea. Let's have a chat.”

Xiamu was a bit taken aback by that request but he still did so. After all, he didn't want his sister to beat the hell out of him in the morning for disregarding her husband's wish.

When Jie came back clad in those casual clothes, Xiamu was already sitting in the lounge with the tea and some midnight snacks. Jie silently sat down and poured some tea for himself. Xiamu was observing his movements.

”Do you want to talk about Azalea?” Xiamu was the one who broke the awkward silence between them since it felt suffocating to him. The chills emanating from Jie's body were really getting to him.

”Why? Do we have something to talk about Azalea?” Jie retorted while sipping on his tea with a calm expression.

”Don't we?” Xiamu's voice sounded uncertain.
