Chapter 393 - Me Too (1/2)

Christopher Morley once said, 'A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.'

Well, in Jie's case, he'd appreciate it if his wife would never get angry. Because an angry Xu Mey was a dangerous zone. Women are never good at hiding their anger and Xu Mey wasn't any better. Especially when the anger was directed towards their own partners.

With her hands on her hips, Xu Mey stood at Jie's side and glared at the woman angrily with hatred visible on her face. Noticing Xu Mey's presence, Jie smiled at her and asked, "Baby, what are you doing here? I was just about to come. Oh, meet..."

His words were cut off when Xu Mey raised her hand to stop him from saying another word. Jie gulped to see the dangerous look in her eyes and stayed quiet.

"You stay quiet..." Xu Mey's voice was dangerously and maliciously low. Then she turned to the woman and said, "And you! How dare you hit on my husband?" Jie's eyes widened in shock as he heard her insinuation and looked at the woman while he mouthed a 'sorry' to her.

Meanwhile, the woman was unruffled as she stood up and faced Xu Mey saying, "Why can't I? He seems like good boyfriend material."

Xu Mey held her wrist in a tight grip making her pretty face to distort in pain. "He's a good boyfriend material but he's only my good material. And he'll stay like that even if he doesn't want to."

Trying to ignore the pain in her wrist, the woman spoke again, "You're willing to force your love on him?"

"Yes, I am!" replied Xu Mey while letting her wrist free. "He's my husband and there is nothing wrong with the fact that I love him very much."

Before the woman could say anything, a manly arm wrapped around her shoulder and Xu Mey heard a familiar voice, "Sorry, Roulan. The call took longer than I thought it'd." Xu Mey looked at the familiar face of her new collaboration partner, Mr. Qi and had a weird look on her face. "Oh, Mrs. Zhu is here. Rourou, did you offer Mr. and Mrs. drinks?"

The woman named Roulan smiled mysteriously as she looked at Xu Mey and said, "I offered the drink to Mr. Zhu but Mrs. Zhu didn't like my gesture."

Xu Mey closed her eyes at the realization that she had misunderstood the whole situation. Argh! Why was she turned into an idiot when it came to Jie? She wasn't in her impulsive lovestruck twenties anymore. For goodness sake, she was in her responsible thirties now!

But her responsible self was thrown out the window whenever Jie was involved.

"Mr. Qi, this is your..." Xu Mey voiced out looking at Roulan inquisitively.

"She's my fiancee. We are getting married next month. Didn't I tell you?" Mr. Qi looked really happy talking about his marriage with the love of his life and it made Xu Mey feel guilty even more. "I'm sorry for keeping your husband for so long. It's my fault that I was curious about a lot of things. Hope Mrs. Zhu won't mind."

Xu Mey turned her head to look at Jie's amused look and scowled. "No, I don't mind." Then she looked at Roulan and said, "I'm sorry for earlier... It was a misunderstanding."

Mr. Qi gave a confused look and Roulan shook her head to not let him worry.

Roulan laughed out happily as she pulled Xu Mey to aside and said, "I don't mind. I can understand your feelings but I'm curious about something. Why did you assume that I was hitting on your husband? It could be the other way around."
