Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Her unexpected words flustered Ye Jie as he lost his equanimity for a while. He coughed a little when he heard her amusing voice again, "Did I just catch you checking me out?" He looked up at her narrowed eyes staring right back at him.

"It-It's a misunderstanding," His words faltered a bit which caused an amusing smile to linger on Xu Mey's lips.

"Relax, It's not like I'll eat you or something," She turned back to her drink and continued, "I didn't mind you checking me out. I check myself out all the time."

Her words lead another coughing fit to follow as he looked at her calm face again. Seeing his widened eyes, she added, "Don't you check yourself out in the mirror every morning?" Ye Jie nodded his head hesitatingly. "So, how do you checking yourself out in the mirror is different from me checking myself out?" She raised her arched brow in a questioning manner.

"Is it a rhetorical question?" After a period of time, Ye Jie succeeded in uttering a few words.

"Maybe... Maybe not."

Ye Jie trudged and settled himself beside her while he observed her features. Other than having a delicate clear skin, she had the most alluring black eyes. Ye Jie asked for red wine while she mixed soju with the beer in a glass. They didn't interact any further.

Eventually, she left the bar when Wu Wang dragged her to the dance floor. His eyes trailed behind her to the dance floor while she happily laughed displaying her beautiful dimple. Her dance steps were unhurried as she swayed her body a little letting herself lose to the beats of music. Her soft curls bounced forming an enchantment of dark clouds hiding her small beautiful face.

Observing her dance moves triggered a smile on his grim face. Alcohol was not Ye Jie' strong suit but her smiling face and dance moves enthralled him and he didn't realize how many glasses he downed.

'Ahh, my head hurts.' That was the first thought that came to Ye Jie's mind as he rubbed his temples to soothe the pain. His eyelids felt like holding tons of weight and it took some effort for him to open his eyes. In his groggy state, he saw the wall length glass windows through which the blazing sunlight fell on him making him shut his eyes again.

"Finally, you're awake," When Ye Jie heard that soft voice, his heart shook a bit and opened his eyes, instantly. There she was leaning against the door frame with a tray in her hand. She walked towards him and noticed his abashed look. She placed the tray on the side table and offered him the ginger drink to ease up his hangover.

He took the glass from her hand with gratitude and looked down to see him wearing the suit he wore last night. Observing the way he sighed in relief after seeing his own clothes, Xu Mey smiled in a mischevious way.

"I don't like taking advantage of drunk guys. So, you can be at ease." He opened his mouth to explain but she cut him with her own words, "Especially the broken-hearted ones."

Ye Jie's eyes widened in shock as he raised his head to see her walking towards the windows as she pulled the sheen curtains. Her slim figure had tight fitted jeans paired with an over-sized black shirt while her hair was tied in a high pony-tail. It was a simple ensemble but on her, it felt much more. It made her appear like a young girl.

"How did you know? Did I say something last night?" Ye Jie was feeling disturbed, he knew if he said something than Ming Qu must have known by now. 'Drunk Ye Jie was more than bearable' that's what Ming Qu always said.

"No, you didn't. It was not difficult to conjecture. You were drunk and alone, apart from that topic there were no spare rooms in the hotel. So, I brought you to mine as a good human being." 'Which I'm definitely not.' Obviously, she left the last part unsaid. She strode towards the door as she added, "There are some spare clothes on the chair, take a shower before asking any further."

At all the parties, Xu Mey was the final one to exit. Previous night when she was leaving the party, she happened to see Ye Jie blacked out on the bar counter. His head was buried in the crook of his arm as he slept peacefully. Xu Mey looked around and asked the hotel staff to inquire about his room no but since Ye Jie arrived right before the wedding ceremony, he hadn't booked a room for himself.

Due to the wedding season, there was not a single room available. Wu Wang had a female companion which leads to Lin Shen sharing the room with the other two. Thinking about all the possibilities, Xu Mey ushered him to her own Presidential suite.

Coming to the next morning...

She walked out and Ye Jie decided to take a hot shower to ease up his aching body. The ginger drink worked like magic for him. His head was not as heavy as it had been when he woke up earlier. After the shower, he walked to the living area where Xu Mey was busy on her laptop. When she saw him enter, she offered him a cup of coffee while he took a seat opposite of hers.

"Ming Qu left me at the party?" He wasn't asking her but she heard his words.

"What? Do you expect the groom to take care of you on his wedding night?" Her eyes were fixed on the laptop as she asked. "Because I wouldn't expect that. Not even in my wildest dreams." She was shaking her in slow-motion.

Ye Jie nodded his head in understanding. "Thanks for last night." He passed a sincere smile in gratitude.

"It's not a big deal." She saw the way he was chewing his lower lip and said, "If you have something to ask, feel free."

Ye Jie played with a black stone ring on his ring finger while he asked, "How did you guess about my breakup?"

"There are two situations when people drink themselves to the state of fainting; either they are extremely happy or they are awfully sad."

"So, are you extremely happy or awfully sad?" Ye Jie asked after a moment when he remembered the way she drank last night. He clearly remembered that she drank a hell lot more than him but she appeared to be fine.

Xu Mey raised her eyes and glanced at his extraordinary handsome face. "Neither." Just one word was her reply but Ye Jie felt that one word was like a mask that hid a million scars behind it. But he didn't pry any further. 'The prerequisite of feeling happy or sad is; having feelings, to begin with.' Naturally, she wouldn't voice that out.

"I should take my leave now. I've to catch my flight in a few hours." Ye Jie got up from his seat and picked up his last night suit with him.

"Mr. Rain!" Ye Jie heard her leisurely voice and turned to look at her. "Remember, 'While there are green hills, there'll be wood to burn'(Where there is life, there is hope). So, don't be so dishearted 'No man is a perfect man; no gold is sufficiently bare.'(no-one's perfect)"

Her metaphors made him laugh lightly as he bit his lower lip softly. "Thanks for the advice, Ms. Cherry. Hope we see each other again."

Saying that he walked out of her Presidential Suite with a broad smile gracing his handsome features.
