Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

But fear is not that different from love. Some people are scared of commitment and love. Some are scared of death and some are just scared of life itself.

We can’t possibly control fear as well. Fear is also an uncontrollable feeling.

But love and fear have something in common. Both teach a person a lesson. A lesson of survival. A lesson of growth. A lesson of ’life’.

Xu Mey learned the lesson of ’life’ from fear. Love was foreign to her. And the worst of all fears in life is the fear of unknown.

When Ye Jie brought Xu Mey back to his mansion, it was almost past 9 o’clock. Since she was familiar with the house, she didn’t need Ye Jie’s help to find her way to the bedroom. But he still led her to his, oh no, their bedroom upstairs.

He unlocked the door and pushed it lightly. The fragrance of roses was pervading the candlelit room. Observing her surroundings and that bed filled with rose petals, Xu Mey’s jumbled up mind went into hysteria.

Ye Jie was surprised to see the room himself but watching Xu Mey’s pale face was amusing. He hid the surprised look along with his amusement with coyness. "I hope my wife liked the arrangements... for the wedding night."

His low husky voice made her heart skip a beat. She tried to walk away from his reach but to her dismay, he held her wrist in his hand. She licked her lips before biting her lower lip to get her senses back.

He pulled her wrist and her body crashed into his broad chest.

’Pull yourself together, Mey! This is not the first time you’re in close proximity to a man. Stop being so girly.’ Xu Mey’s inner-self was bellowing in rage.

’But I am a girl. And what’s so wrong with acting like one. Once in a while.’ Xu Mey rebutted.

’He’s not good for your health. Walk away from him.’ The inner-self was really nagging harshly.

’Well, he is dangerous for me.’ Her inner battle lasts for a moment.

Trying to calm her breathing, Xu Mey looked up at his face to say something. He had an obvious mischievous glint in his brown eyes with a radiant smirk on his thin lips.

But that look left her in a daze. ’But he’s really handsome as well.’ She again thought in her mind losing the last bit of rationality.

Ye Jie was pleased with her transfixed countenance. He lowered his face towards her. Inadvertently, Xu Mey took a step back. It was on reflex she had no control over. He took another step ahead and in response, she took another step back.

They continued with a step back and a step ahead until Xu Mey’s legs felt the edge of the bed behind. There was nowhere else to run anymore.

There was a haughty smirk playing on Ye Jie’s lips. His brows were arched as if to challenge her. ’Where are you gonna run now?’ He lowered his face again towards her. Xu Mey bent her body backward but she lost her footing. On pure reflex, Ye Jie snaked his arm around her waist and she held onto Ye Jie’s tie making him fall with her on the bed.

As she laid on her back on the bed with Ye Jie’s body pressing on her own, an odd thought came to her mind. ’Even the strongest warrior will have a weakness that could make him submissive.’ She took herself to be strong until this day. But at this moment, gazing at his handsome face inches away from her own with his piercing gaze penetrating her soul, she realized she had no ability to push him away.

She wanted to get him off her body. She wanted to stay far away from him. But she couldn’t do it. His face was so close that she could smell the spearmint from his warm breath as it tingled her.

When his soft thin lips touched her cherry plump ones, her mind was electrified. He softly nibbled on her lower lip, sucking it slowly. The kiss was not urgent or passionate. It was just a simple kiss which displayed a gentle but sincere feeling.

Ye Jie didn’t try to deepen the kiss. He knew his limits very well. Most of all, he respected their relationship. He knew she was new to this relationship thing and he didn’t want to rush anything. He was scared that she would run away if he went any further. It took a lot of effort to pull away from her sweet taste but he managed it somehow.

Xu Mey’s eyes were tightly shut. She only felt the soft touch of his lips along with a warm feeling in her stomach. The response she provided to his soft kiss was nonexistent. She didn’t know how to respond at all. Even after his warm lips left her own making her feel a bit cold, she didn’t open her eyes.

Until she heard his low husky voice near her ear, "You can call me a second-hand product, dear wife. But don’t forget this second-hand product is not useless."
