Chapter 26 - The Kiss Was Really Special
-At Ye Enterprises-
The atmosphere in the office was tense. Every employee was trying to please their boss who was supposed to leave for his honeymoon but ended up at the office. Everyone had the same question in their hearts, "Why is the boss not on a flight for his honeymoon?" But not even a single person had the guts to voice out their questions except for the second young master Ye Jun.
Ye Jun had a habit of arriving late at the office and by the time he came, he heard about his brother’s tyrannical behavior. He was in deep thought.
Brother was supposed to take sis-in-law on the honeymoon but he is at the office? He didn’t even tell me? Did his overworking tendencies take over again? Or he had an argument with sis-in-law?
Instead of straining his mind with all these thoughts alone. He decided to ask his brother directly. By the time he came outside his brother’s door, there was a booming voice coming from inside the room.
"Is this how you are supposed to work? And you, where are your work ethics? I need all the reports within 2 hours otherwise, pack up your stuff. Scram!" Ye Jun flinched a bit hearing this angry voice of his elder brother.
The senior employees that walked out of his office had sweat running down their forehead and a young pretty Manager couldn’t control her tears and let them fall freely. Ye Jun patted her shoulder. He could sympathize with her on personal experiences. No one knew the extent of his brother’s brutality better than him.
"Second young master, take care of yourself," When the employees saw Ye Jun opening the door of the office, they encouraged with their best wishes and silently prayed for his well being in their hearts.

Taking a deep breath and with a nod to those pitiful employees, Ye Jun crossed the gates of hell. Ye Jie was buried in the piles of work on his table and didn’t bother to look up to glance at the intruder in his office. "Scram!"
"Woah! Bro, did someone ran away with sis-in-law?" Ye Jun asked in a playful way but Ye Jie’s reaction seemed exaggerated. Ye Jie’s brown eyes appeared to be turning black in anger. The scowl on his face got deeper than ever. The air turned chilly even with the heating system providing a reasonable amount of heat.
Ye Jun felt the chills and shuddered. He tried to soothe his brother’s emotions with a cheesy smile but failed miserably ’cause it seemed faker than he would have liked it to be.
"If you nothing important to say, leave my office." Ye Jie lowered his eyes again to read through papers in his hand.
"Bro, I just came to ask why are you here? What about the honeymoon? Sis-in-law might feel really upset." Ye Jun was concerned about Xu Mey’s feelings. Knowing his brother, he concluded that Ye Jie did something for sure.
"Your sis-in-law is the one who suggested that we should postpone the honeymoon. Ah! No no, she said, let’s cancel it altogether. It’s a formality anyway." Ye Jun could hear the frustration in Ye Jie’s voice as he looked at his brother feeling amused.
"Why did she say that?" Ye Jun was rubbing his chin in thought.
"How would I know that?" Ye Jie’s choleric bearing was infectious to Ye Jun.
Ye Jun kept tapping the arm-rest of the chair as the silence pervaded the huge office. The walnut hardwood office table complimented the white walls of the office. Ye Jie was inclined to light colors rather than dark ones and his office displayed it perfectly. The couch and other stuff were either in white or a touch of silver-grey was used elegantly. All in all, the office exuded the aura of its master; Sparkling, noble, and distinctive.
"Bro, did she liked the arrangements last night?" Ye Jie knew Ye Jun was talking about the arrangements in his bedroom last night. He wasn’t surprised to hear about it. He already deduced that it was Ye Jun’s handiwork.
"She didn’t say it but she seemed to be pleasantly surprised." Thinking about the memory of her reactions and those soft lips, the corners of his lips turned upwards. Ye Jun might be the person who followed the public opinion but he wasn’t a dense person. He was rather observant when it came to people around him.
That gentleness and spark in Ye Jie’s eyes couldn’t escape Ye Jun’s hawk eyes. He was rather surprised and ecstatic to see that look on his brother’s face. Taking the advantage of his brother’s distracted mind, Ye Jun asked, "Something special happened?"
"Yeah... It was special... The kiss was really special," Noticing what he had just said, Ye Jie glared at his younger brother who tricked him.
Ye Jun, on the other hand, was busy trying to hold his laughter. "Bro, you should have seen your expressions. Haha!!!"
"Shut up, Jun!"
"Okay... I’ll stop now... But if it was special than what changed? Why would sis-in-law call honeymoon a ’formality’?" Ye Jun air-quoted to emphasize
"I don’t know," Ye Jie was confused about that himself. How could he possibly provide Ye Jun with an answer?
"Give me a detailed version of what happened last night," Ye Jun demanded.
"Nothing happened. Xu Mey suddenly became cold. That’s all." Ye Jie replied with a scowl.
"You must have done something. Bro, people don’t just turn cold out of nowhere. Especially the Sincere and honest people like sis-in-law."
Ye Jie felt like his brother’s words were right. No one just changes without a reason. She was even a sincere person when she helped him as a stranger all those months ago. So, he decided to share the details of last night with Ye Jun leaving the bedroom activities out of it.
