Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 382 - Burden Of Her Tears

Xu Mey was busy drying her hair when Jie walked inside with her breakfast in hands. He placed it all on the table neatly before coming around her to help her.
"I could have gone downstairs for breakfast," Xu Mey spoke while he held the hair blower in his hand.
"I don't mind bringing it here." He answered plainly.
"You're making me lazy with all this pampering." Xu Mey pouted as she looked at his reflection in the mirror.
Jie kissed the top of her head and said, "My beautiful wife, I love you and my love comes with a package of endless pampering."
Xu Mey was immediately left speechless.
After breakfast, they both arrived at the biggest mall in the city.
"Let's do clothes shopping first," Xu Mey suggested while looking at the floor map to find baby stores. Naturally, Jie agreed with her wishes and took her to the clothes shop where her eyes immediately brightened up, seeing all those cute little clothes and those tiny shoes. It all looked too cute to her.
She almost ran over to a rack and picked up a cute dress in blue color. "Ah-Jie, this blue one looks so cute. Our baby boy will look so adorable in this, right?" Jie looked at her smiling face and nodded.
"But we need to buy something for our little princess as well." Xu Mey gave him a pointed gaze. She really disagreed with his belief that they'll have a baby girl. But since he didn't bother her shopping spree, she didn't want to dampen his mood either. However, she noticed that unlike other people he wasn't picking anything in pink while her choices were revolving around blue.
"Ah-Jie, why aren't you buying the pink frock?" She couldn't hold in her curiosity.
"Is it a rule that girls have to wear pink while boys have to wear blue?" He asked her in response.
"It's not a rule. But most people roll this way." She answered nonchalantly.
"Well, then I'm not most people. I want our girl to grow up loving each and every color. Because I do want her to grow up like a princess but instead of giving her the life of Cinderalla or Snow-white, I want her to learn Melida's valiant style. After all, she also needs to learn that girls don't necessarily need to depend on a guy."
Xu Mey stared at him disbelievingly for a moment that stretched longer than it was necessary. She had no answer for him. So, she decided to pay attention to her shopping instead.
With a huge variety of cute clothes and shoes, she was so happy that she couldn't stop grinning at all. She was already imagining how their baby boy will look in those clothes.
They had gone all around the mall looking for baby products which included, a crib, warm and cool steam humidifier, sleepyhead pad, stroller, a cozy rocker napper and plenty of other stuff. They even ate lunch at the food court before continuing on again.
It was late afternoon when they were finally done with their shopping only when Xu Mey complained that she was too tired to even lift her foot now. Jie had repeatedly told her to take it easy but she was so excited that she couldn't possibly keep her feet on the ground. She was floating in clouds.
While they settled inside the car, Jie's phone rang. He frowned a bit listening to the call but stayed quiet before saying, "Okay. I'll be there in a while." He turned to see Xu Mey's inquiring gaze and said, "It was Zelie. She sounded a bit upset."
Xu Mey's eyes flashed a bit skeptically. "Alright. Then drop me at my dad's place."
"You're not coming with me?" Jie asked in surprise.
"Nope. I haven't been to dad's home in a while. Also, I heard grandfather is coming in a few days as well." 'And I have a brother who needs a good beating. I told him to be nice. Idiot!' She didn't show her bitterness on the face, hiding it quite well behind her smile.
Jie wasn't very willing at first but listening to her reasoning, he gave in. The ride to Xu Residence was a short one since they weren't far from it.
"Take care of yourself. And don't move around recklessly." Jie reminded her again and again while she kept nodding her head obediently but inwardly she was rolling her eyes at his constant nagging.
"Ah-Jie, stop worrying so much. There are plenty of people to take care of me here as well." Xu Mey gave him a kiss on his cheek and added, "Just go. Be with your sister. She needs you after the rejection."
"Rejection?"
Xu Mey related the whole story of Azalea's crush on Xiamu and how she's sure that Xiamu had rejected her.
"What? Such a thing was going on and I had no clue?" Jie was really surprised to hear about it. "But why would Xiamu reject her? Is something wrong with my sister?"
"There is nothing wrong with Azalea. It's my brother who's to blame here."
Jie was silent for a while before leaving not without saying, "Ask your brother, can he really bear the burden of her tears?"
Xu Mey watched him leaving with a complicated gaze.
