Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Xu Mey was sitting beside him in the backseat of his car looking intently at his side profile while his one hand held hers and the other hand held his cell phone to his ear. With the sunlight stroking his side profile, he looked mesmerizing to Xu Mey.

She was utterly enthralled by his attractive face. As her eyes fell on his soft lips, a reminder of his kisses made her blush in embarrassment and she turned her face to look outside the window.

Xu Mey read a poem by Nikita Gill, once. It went like this:

’Kiss Someone

who makes you

feel their magic

in your bones,

who makes you wonder

how can someone

who looks like

witchcraft

at midnight

taste so holy.’

Those were Xu Mey’s thoughts about Ye Jie at that time as well. It was really unfair that he not only had a handsome face to bewitch others but he also tasted so divine that he could make Xu Mey forget her own self.

Xu Mey didn’t know where they were going but in an unknown period of time, she came to have established a blind trust in him. The extent of her trust in him was unknown to her but she knew that she trusted him enough to believe that he won’t hurt her.

Therefore, as long as he was accompanying her, it didn’t matter where they were going.

The car stopped after driving for more than an hour and Ye Jie helped her in coming out of the car. Xu Mey disembarked the car with her hand in his rough ones and looked around with curiosity.

They were in the northern mountains and as far as Xu Mey could see, there were mountains and tall trees in her sight.

"We have to walk for a bit," Ye Jie started. "Where I want to take you, our car can’t reach there." He said with a pleasant smile on his face enhancing his enchantment. Xu Mey had to look away to escape his charms.

Although, Xu Mey couldn’t find many buildings in this area she had a feeling that it was private property. She had seen some security checks when they entered this mountain range. But she didn’t question Ye Jie about it.

"Let me carry you," Ye Jie suggested thinking about her still hurt ankle.

"Nooo..." Xu Mey dragged her answer dramatically as she took a couple of steps back. Seeing Ye Jie’s crestfallen face, Xu Mey added, "I mean my ankle is much better. I can really walk." She really tried to convince him.

"But my heart is not at ease." Ye Jie’s statement made her feel guilty for some reason.

She contemplated for a minute and said, "Then... Erm... How about you give me a piggyback ride?" She suggested herself thinking that it was a safer choice.

"Piggyback ride?" He quirked his brows seemingly amused. Xu Mey nodded her head like a rattle in excitement. Ye Jie smiled sweetly and squatted down allowing her to climb on his back.

Xu Mey looped her arms around his back and got on his back. Ye Jie slowly stood up and started walking on the stone path. Xu Mey was looking around at the greenery. There was a strange kind of peace at that place. The chicks chirping with the sun shining and a faint fragrance of flowers in the air was soothing to Xu Mey.

"Baby?" Xu Mey heard his deep voice.

"En." She replied.

"Is this your first piggyback ride?" Why he asked this question was unknown to Ye Jie. He just noticed that she was really excited about it.

"Yup. It’s the first time. Who else will give me a ride?" She retorted absentmindedly.

"Your d-" Ye Jie bit his own tongue not daring to complete his sentence. He wanted to ask about her dad but realized that he’ll spoil her mood with just her father’s name. He coughed a bit and continued walking in silence.

After walking for 20 minutes, Ye Jie placed Xu Mey down. She was looking around with wide eyes.

They were standing between a beautiful cherry blossom forest. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The pink blooms entranced Xu Mey. Her surrounding was full green a moment ago and now, it looked like she walked inside pink heaven.

Looking at her face filled with happiness, Ye Jie asked, "Do you like it?"

She tilted her head to look at his brown eyes looking at her. "Like it? I love it. Cherry blossoms are my favorites." She told him. "How did you know I love cherry blossoms?" She asked.

"I didn’t." He replied making her frown. It was true that Ye Jie didn’t know about her liking for cherry blossoms but he knew that he loved her cherry lips and he really wanted to show her this place that reminded him of her. But he didn’t tell her that. "I just brought you here for hanami [1]. Also, because you’re my cherry wife." He replied.

"But we don’t have a picnic basket." Xu Mey argued and ignored the last statement. He smiled again and pointed his finger in a direction ahead of them. As Xu Mey followed the direction of his finger, she saw a beautiful pavilion in the middle of the cherry blossom forest with a table full of delicacies.

Xu Mey looked back at Ye Jie’s face and said, "Thanks for being so meticulous, Ah Jie."

The moment she said ’Ah Jie’ Ye Jie’s heart missed a beat. He placed a hand over his chest. "Are you okay, Ah Jie?" She looked worried but Ye Jie’s heart really was in disarray. Ye Jie only nodded to assure her that he was fine.

He had heard Ah Jie plenty of times from other people then why did the way she said it, was different? ’If only you knew what you’re doing to me, baby.’ He thought.

’If only you knew what it means for me to stand here with you, Ah Jie.’ Xu Mey thought looking at him.
