Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 117 - A Romantic Fool

Xu Mey twisted to make some distance between her and Ye Jie. She was pondering about how to say it and decided to be straightforward. "I'm a Virgin."
She said it conviction but didn't dare to turn around to look at Ye Jie who was busy in trying to stiffle his laugh. From their wedding night he knew that she was a virgin but why she thought it was something off putting was far from his understanding.
The way she was fidgeting with the hem of her shirt made Ye Jie want to play oblivious. He thought if he told her that he already figured that fact then she might be embarrassed about it. "Oh!" He tried his best to put a surprised tone. "What makes you think that it's something bad?" He was really curious about the answer.
Xu Mey pursed her lips. "Jun Li Na once told me that most men nowadays prefer to have a experienced life partner." She started as Ye Jie paced to stand beside her. "A girl at my age and still a virgin is said to be an unstable woman. She said most men believes that sexually inexperienced girls are clingy and easily tempted. Also, they are emotionally unstable."
"Thats not always the case, some do look for virgin pure girls, " he commented after listening to her. Her statement explained why she was nervous about talking.
"Yes, it's not always like that. But she also said that the men that are looking for a pure girl expect too much from them. My virginity was my choice and I don't want others to judge me for that." She explained.
Ye Jie held her shoulders and made her look at him. "I'll be lying if I said that I'm not glad about you being a virgin. But I also would have no problem if you were not pure. What I needed was never a pure body, I needed someone's pure heart and feelings for me." He placed his rough palm against her cheek. "The reason I'm glad for is that I'll be the first person to not only touch your body but also your heart and soul. Because that's where I want to stay; your heart. Now that's different that staying in your arms doesn't feel bad as well." He tried to make her smile and it worked as she showed him her pearly white toothy grin.
He patted her head like a kid and said, "Now, look over there." He turned body and made her look up at the sky.
Suddenly, the hazy evening sky was painted with hundreds of colors. The beautiful fireworks under the vast sky with Ye Jie standing right behind her with his arms looped around her waist made it seem like a fairytale dream to Xu Mey and for the first time, Xu Mey didn't want this dream to end.
"Why did you put so much effort? Look all the fireworks are gonna fade away." Leave it to Xu Mey to ruin a perfect moment.
"Baby, what did you just feel?" Ye Jie asked patiently, he had expected her reply earlier.
"There were fireworks and they were beautiful for a while and I felt happy, contented and warm." She answered.
"You once told me that time means nothing to you rather its the moments that make the time worthwhile." Xu Mey pondered and realized that's what she had written in the letter that she gave him. "This was a moment for you to remember. Even though the fireworks ended, I want you to remember that feeling which they brought in you because that is OUR moment."
Xu Mey felt something stinging in her eyes and her throat was prickling. It was a very first time that she was emotionally overwhelmed.
"Why are you so nice to me?" She didn't realize that she had said it out loud.
Ye Jie turned her body towards himself and said, "It's not that I'm nice to you. I never thought myself to be nice or perfect. I have many secrets and many imperfections. But you make me want to be perfect… Perfect for you. I want to let go of all my imperfections so that you could lean on my shoulders whenever you're tired from your fight. I don't want you to ask for my help because I know how much independent you want to be. I just want you to hold my hand so that I can help you cross this storm of your past and your future revenge."
The tears Xu Mey was holding onto trickled down her face with full force without her realizing it. Seeing her tears, Ye Jie got anxious. "What's wrong baby? Did i say something wrong? Or does your ankle hurt?" He was worriedly looking at her.
Xu Mey shook her head and tried to say something but choked on her tears. She put her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "Thank you!" She managed to say in her hoarse voice.
Ye Jie rubbed her back to soothe her. "Thank you for being you, Ah Jie! I know how it must be frustrating to deal with someone like me. But I'm grateful that you have the patience to let me say it on my own pace. And thank you for accepting me as your wife. Although i still have no clue about what made you accept me as your wife."
Ye Jie smiled against her hair and said, "That fighter brave girl inside of you made me accept you as my wife. No matter how much life broke you, you still had that creed in your yourself that you can challenge not only the world but also your destiny. "
It was the first time, Ye Jie recognized the reason for accepting her as his wife. It was bizarre that he chose a wife who didn't need his help in everything but that made him want to stand by her side even more.
She was that precious treasure that needed to change even his own destiny. 'My dear cherry wife is not even realizing that she has turned me into a romantic fool.' Ye Jie thought to himself with a satisfied look look on his face.
