Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 323 - Cheesecake

After a long and heated argument, Jie managed to get the address from Wayne. After that, he didn't stick around to chat and immediately darted out towards his car.
Anger was surging inside him. At just the thought of how he almost lost his sister in that accident... Jie couldn't even describe what he was feeling. But one thing was sure, he definitely had a murderous glint in his eyes as he drove the car at fast speed.
Meanwhile, Xu Mey had just turned off her computer and arranged the documents on her table. She was preparing to leave the office on time since she hasn't been feeling very well since the morning. She had a nauseous feeling making her feel uneasy. She even puked a couple of times but she didn't take it very seriously.
As she shot up to her feet, the world around her spinned and she fell back on her swirl chair. With a hand on her head, she pressed her head a bit before trying to stand again but the ground beneath her feet seemed shaky.
She took a sip of the water trying to get rid of the bitter taste in her mouth. She picked up her cellphone and pressed one on her speed dial. The call connected with Jie who had almost reached his destination.
"Ah-Jie," her voice sounded brittle making Jie immediately hit the brakes.
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you crying?" Her voice was enough to make him assume a million possibilities. His mind went into a frenzy.
"I... I'm not feeling well." The delicate warmth of her voice which he loved, was lost today. Her voice was heavy and it was weighing down Jie's heart.
He couldn't even tell why but he was really scared all of a sudden. "Baby... Tell me in detail, how are you feeling?" He tired his best to sound calm but his own emotions were betraying him big time.
"Dizzy." She replied in monosyllable.
"Dizzy?"
"Yes. It's a woozy feeling. I can't even stand. It feels like the world is spinning." Xu Mey kept talking. "I've been feeling waves of nausea but it was bearable. This whirlwind sensation is so not bearable."
"Hold on... You've been feeling nauseous and you are telling me this now?" He felt like pinching her adorable nose at this time. She'd been sick but she didn't bother going to see a doctor.
"Well, it wasn't a big deal. I puked a couple of times and nausea got better."
"You even puked?" The pitch of his voice raised involuntarily. "Baby, are you serious? How can you be so careless? If you had such a condition, why did you even go to work? Which sensible person does that?" With his mind in shambles, he reprimanded her a bit harshly.
"Boohoo. I'm not talking to you. How can you yell at me? I'm already not well." Her cracked and fragile voice instantly pulled at Jie's heartstrings. It wasn't her voice that just broke down, it felt like his heart also broke.
"Baby, stop crying." The voice that started off sharp turned soft.
"I'm not your baby. Go find your baby somewhere else." Xu Mey was throwing a tantrum and even she couldn't tell why she cried so easily. Was she a crybaby? No! Was she turning into one? It seemed like that. But her emotions didn't seem to be in her control.
"Sorry, sorry. Baby, I'm really sorry. You can punish me as you wish but wait for me to get there first." Jie tried coaxing.
Xu Mey sniffled loudly on purpose to make him feel guiltier before saying, "Okay. I'm waiting. Bring a cheesecake for me as well."
"Cheesecake?" Jie asked to make sure he heard right. After all, his wife wasn't really fond of sweets. Especially, cakes. Also, didn't she hate cheese?
"Yes. I suddenly have a craving for it. Just the idea of eating cheesecake is reducing my nausea. How weird!" Xu Mey kept babbling while Jie was frowning on the other side of the phone.
'Nausea. Dizzy spells. Puking. And now, she's craving something she hates.' His eyes went round as a possibility came to his mind. "Baby, when did your aunt last visited?"
"My aunt?" Xu Mey frowned a bit before replying, "I don't know. It's been over a month."
"It's been over a month and you didn't go to see a doctor?"
"I always had irregular periods, why would I go to see a doctor for such a small matter? Anyway, why are you distracting me? Bring me my cheesecake. Now!" Xu Mey ordered in her bossy way.
Jie grinned like a lunatic as Yang Ziyi's words rang in his mind, 'Take care of your wife. Don't stress her out and don't let her work like she did today. She needs rest. Also, her emotions are gonna be unstable. Don't disagree with anything she says. It's for your own good.' He finally understood the meaning and he had the urge to fly back to Xu Mey right this instant.
"Baby, don't move. Stay right where you are. I'll be there with you." Jie started off the car as he instructed Xu Mey to stay in the office.
"Don't bother coming without my cake." Xu Mey said impatiently.
"I wouldn't dare." His answer made her smile in victory.
"Okay then. I'm waiting. Come soon." She hung up the call and laid her head down on the table to rest.
