Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 12 - Never Lived To Tell The Tale

Getting familiar with Ye Jie was really easy for Xu Mey. They both shared a common thing; their passion for their work. Ye Jie didn't like someone bothering him while he was working and same was the case with Xu Mey.
In the past month, they didn't meet every day rather they met over the weekends and that too for a reason. Without any reason, both didn't bother the other person. Just like Ye Jie was getting familiar with Xu Mey's surprising nature and moods. Xu Mey figured him out like the back of her hand.
Meeting Ye Jun at first made Xu Mey really annoyed and furious because of what she read in the report of how he talked about her at home. But knowing him, she realized he was 'following the public opinion' kind of person. He didn't like probing to know the truth. He really was like a big baby who loved it when someone appreciated him or talked to him nicely.
After deciding the design of the veil, Ye Jie called for take-out food. The food arrived in 15 minutes. Ye Jie ordered some sour and spicy chicken with rice for himself and Ye Jun while Xu Mey got spicy noodles with soup. She took a whiff of her noodles and almost drooled. She was appreciating the Picante aroma of noodles while both brothers were exchanging a meaningful look when they heard a voice, "Xiao Jie, have you seen the dress?"
"Sister-in-law, hide," Ye Jun said over his shoulder as he walked briskly towards the door to stop his mother from entering.
Xu Mey hid behind the couch when Mother Ye walked in. Seeing the take-out food on the table, she got really angry, "You boys, I told you to eat healthy food but you have to eat this oily take-outs. Are you both trying to kill your mother from worry?" Both Ye brothers held their mother's arm and shook their heads.
"Oh, look at this spicy noodles." She picked up the bowl of noodles while Xu Mey could only see with a cry-baby face as she threw it in the trash can. Xu Mey had the urge to scream at that scene. There were only two things she loved; alcohol and spicy food. Whoever messed with these two things never lived to tell the tale. Metaphorically, of course.
"Mother will send some delicious food for my big boys." She affectionately patted both of their faces. "I just remembered, Xiao Jie, do you like the wedding attires?" She was eager to know about his thoughts.
"I loved it, mother. As expected of my mother's selection, they look amazing." Ye Jie gave a side hug to his mother as he pecked her cheek with love.
"But Xiao Jie, these are not the dresses that mother decided." Ye Jie gave her puzzled look. "When I went to pick the dresses, some idiot assistant dropped an iced coffee on them. There was a kind young lady who offered to exchange them with these dresses. I wasn't taking it but she insisted that I should take it as compensation." Ye Jie unconsciously looked at the couch where Xu Mey was hiding. He had an itching feeling that she had something to do with the dress fiasco.
"It's okay, mom. I loved these dresses as well." Ye Jie replied respectfully.
Mother Ye looked at him with a tender look in her eyes. A stranger could tell from the way she looked at him, how much she doted on him. She gave a hug to both her sons and said, "Send the bride's dress to Ye Residence and I'll just send some food for you both in a second." With that Mother Ye walked out of her son's house.
Actually, Ye Residence and Ye manor, Ye Jie's house were not that far apart. There were only a couple of manors between them.
"Brother, you're getting married. You should change the passcode. Everybody knows your passcode. Only give me the new passcode, okay?" Ye Jun suggested and Ye Jie slapped the back of his head playfully.
Mother Ye sent the food almost instantly to Ye manor where both brothers were arguing and in their argument, they forgot about a certain someone who was still sitting behind the couch. Seeing the food, they remembered her existence in the room and came around the couch to see her.
There she was sitting in a knee position on her heels with her gaze glued to the trash can that contained her spicy-spicy noodles and that hot-hot soup. Her lips were trembling like she was going to cry any minute. Ye Jie's lips twitched at the sight of her. He tried really hard to control himself. But she looked so adorable that he couldn't control it any longer.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to cry?" Ye Jun asked in between his laughing fit. He always felt light in the presence of Xu Mey. She was honest and very straightforward. He loved that about her.
She tilted her head a bit, he crouched down beside her. "Why will I cry? The number of times, I cried in my life can be counted on one hand while the number of times, I made others cry... Hehehe... You can't tell." Her creepy laugh scared Ye Jun's, poor heart.
"This is not fair. I really wanted to eat that," She was sulking but Ye Jie was smiling.
He gave her his hand as he said, "Come get up from the cold floor first." Xu Mey took his hand without any argument. He pulled her straight to his chest and buried her in his embrace. That scent of cinnamon wafted into her nostrils making her feel dizzy. In her dizziness, she heard his husky voice near her ear as he said in a low murmur, "I'll get you the spiciest noodle when you move in, okay?" She nodded in his embrace without looking at his expression. Ye Jie kissed her hair before letting her go.
Upon seeing their PDA, Ye Jun was left with a lonely feeling in his heart.
