Chapter 20 - Youre Ready For Our Wedding Night
Xu Mey’s friends made Ye Jie realize how much he still didn’t know about his wife. The smile on her face, talking to her best friend’s parents was just a mirage. The real person inside of her was crying. Screaming to break free. Shouting to be heard.
Xu Mey had a belief that she didn’t matter and changing that belief was the real challenge for Ye Jie. That belief was the obstacle, he had to cross. To reach her heart, he had to alter that belief. And Ye Jie knew with his own heart in shambles, he won’t be able to help her at all. He decided to get Lu Yuhan not only out of his mind but also out of his heart.
He wanted to be a good, no, a perfect husband for Xu Mey. The girl who could make him smile with mere her presence. Feeling his gaze on her face, Xu Mey looked at him asking with eyes, ’What?’ He smiled and shook his head as saying, ’Nothing’. Xu Mey scanned his expressions closely and rolled her eyes at him.
Mother Ye’s gaze was on her son’s face. The way he smiled at Xu Mey and the interaction between the two made her heart fill with joy and warmth. An uncontrollable tear escaped from the corner of eyes. "What’s wrong, Ning?" Father Ye asked his wife with concern.
"Kang, our boy is gonna be alright." Father Ye followed her gaze to see his son. "I thought this girl will not be right for him. But now I think, she can save my son." Father Ye agreed with his wife.
Meanwhile, Ye Jun’s gaze was following Jun Li Na to wherever she went. He didn’t move his gaze away from her figure for even a second. Li Na was trying to ignore his burning gaze but it turned difficult than she thought. She walked up to him glowering. "Mr. Ye Jun, do you hate your life that much?"
"Does all my sister-in-law’s friends are violent?" He asked with a delighted look.

Li Na sighed. "No, Mey’s the worst of us all." Ye Jun looked at her quizzically. "She learned something from all of us. For instance, keeping her calm appearance was learned from He Jian. Outsmarting someone was learned from Lin Shen. She also took Wu Wang’s playfulness and Li Qiao’s business mind. As for me, she took the violence from me."
"Are you trying to indirectly tell me that you’re really going to hit me?"
"I don’t have to lift a finger. But those bodyguards of mine are a little overprotective." Ye Jun followed her gaze to see a few brawny guys scattered around in the hall. He gulped visibly.
He raised both his hands in surrender. "I was just trying to be friends. No violence, please. I’m a peace-loving person." He even made a peace sign at the end making Li Na giggle like a little girl.
"Because of you being funny, I can consider being friends with you." Ye Jun instantly felt happy to hear that. "But don’t get any other ideas." She shook her finger in front of eyes in a warning and he nodded. "I have a fiance, anyway."
"Who said things can’t change in future? I’ll settle for being friends for now." Ye Jun grumbled under his breath passing an innocent smile to Li Na.
"Oh, right! If sister-in-law learned all that from you guys, what is the real her then?" His question changed the color of Li Na’s face as a grave expression took the place of a cheerful one.
She stayed quiet for long while. Ye Jun thought she didn’t want to answer him but after taking some time, she said it. "She’s a whole lot of crazy hiding behind a whole lot of darkness."

Ye Jie walked beside his wife placing his arm around her small waist and pulled her to his side. "So, my pretty wife, hope you’re ready for our wedding night?"
Her face turned pale at his words as she blinked repeatedly. She was so tense that Ye Jie felt her body trembling. But instead of his cheeky smile to vanish, her expressions intensified it.
Xu Mey not having relationship experience was an idea that never crossed Ye Jie’s mind before. He always thought with her nature, appearance, and personality, she’d have at least a few boyfriends. But knowing that his wife was only his brought relief to his heart. He was feeling at peace.
"Oh, by the way, my dear wife, I’m really hungry tonight. Hope you can help your husband a bit."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Ye?" Xu Mey made an innocent face at him.
"I think you know what I’m talking about." He was being sassy at her innocence. ’So, there is actually something that can shut you up.’ He kept his thought to himself.
Poor Xu Mey had no idea about his evil schemes. A pure maiden was caught in claws of a hungry wolf. The worst part was she had no clue that he was playing with her.
"Dear wife, I obviously have to prove to you that I’m not a second-hand product." His reminder of ’second-hand product’ made her choke on air as she fell into a fit of dry coughs.
