Good monts are like a bonbon, they might end but leaves behind a sweet taste to linger on one’s tongue. That sweet taste becos a part of one’s mory reminding him of good tis.
So people are like the bright sun, they are alone enough to brighten up soone’s dark world. Like Ye Jie had beco the sun of Xu y’s dark life.
Ye Jie left the house in a hurry leaving Xu y behind. Xu y tried to walk but found the unwelcod soreness between her legs a bit worriso.
When Xu y looked at her own reflection in the mirror, she couldn’t help but blush to see her body painted with red bite marks. Especially the bright ones right above her bosom.
But a sudden thought, ’One shouldn’t be embarrassed by the things that made him feel good about himself.’ made her shrug her shoulders nonchalantly. The hot shower made her body’s soreness to dissipate a bit.
It took her 30 minutes to get dressed and cover up all the visible red marks on her neck. She planned on hailing a cab to work but when she walked outside, she noticed Ye Jun waiting for her while leaning on his car.
Upon seeing her, he waved excitedly and said, "Good morning, sis!" Xu y squinted her eyes at him accusingly but didn’t say anything. "Co I’ll drop you to the office, today."
Xu y silently climbed inside his car and looked outside the window.
While driving, Ye Jun kept stealing glances at her which were not unnoticed by Xu y. "What is it? Just speak!"
Ye Jun cleared his throat and started, "I don’t know but..." he gave a thoughtful look and added, "You look a bit different for so reason."
Xu y rolled her eyes at him and thought, ’Look different? I even feel different you dumbo! But why am I feeling different? And what changed exactly? Is this feeling of being reborn? No, no! This must be the feeling of discovering oneself.’ She bobbed her head up and down slowly in a trance
Ye Jun saw the way she was lost in dreamland. With one hand still on the steering wheel, he stretched the other hand in front of Xu y’s eyes and waved to get her out of her daze. "Sis?"
"Ha? What? Oh... What were you saying?" She asked again still not completely aware of her surroundings.
Ye Jun frowned at her reaction and said, "We are here." Xu y looked around to see that they were indeed right before Vintage building.
Before disembarking from the car, she turned to Ye Jun and said, "If you have nothing special to do at the office, co inside I have to talk to you." Although her tone felt odd to Ye Jun he didn’t think much about it and drove the car to the underground parking.
When Xu y entered the building, she noticed a familiar face waiting at the reception area and when he looked at her, a smile blood on that familiar face as he ca closer to her, "Hello, Xiao y!"
"Dr." Xu y bit her tongue at her mistake and said, "Uncle Chen, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Chen smiled at her and said, "I ca to see you actually. I need your help with sothing."
"What are we waiting here for then? Co with ." She led the way for Zhu Chen to her office. Even though she was surprised that he ca to look for her on his own accord, she didn’t show it on her face.
In her office, she gave instructions to Qin Hao, "Bring so Blue Mountain Coffee and when my little brother cos up, ask him to wait in the other room." Qin Hao courteously bowed and walked out of her office.
Then she turned to see Zhu Chen who was comfortably sitting at the couch with his eyes darting around the room. She took a seat at the single sofa and asked, "So, what can I help you with?"
"Actually it’s my 32nd anniversary next month and I’ve been looking for a gift for my Susu. But I couldn’t find anything. One of my colleagues suggested that I should buy a personalized piece of Vintage and I liked the idea. Then He Jian told that you’re the President of Vintage. So, I decided to ask for your help." As he spoke all the details in one breath, she was stuck at the fact that he was wandering around just to buy a gift and that too for their 32nd anniversary.
"So, you want to design sothing for you?" He nodded agreeing with her. "Hmm... Tell about what do you have in mind." She picked up the notepad and pencil from the side table while Qin Hao ca inside with the coffee and left after placing it on the table.
Zhu Chen scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "That’s what I don’t know. I an I think I know what I want and yet I don’t know." He sighed. "It’s confusing, right?"
Xu y shook her head. "Not at all." She contemplated a bit with the pencil between her teeth and said, "How about you share so precious mories of yours to let get an idea?"
"Ah? That’s a good idea." He smiled but it soon faltered. "But we have so many precious mories. Which one should I tell you?"
"How about the one that makes you feel warst even now?" She suggested.
"The warst one?" He smiled thinking about sothing and said, "Maple Trees."
"Huh?" She was perplexed.
He explained, "There was a ti when Susu was under ntal stress and stopped talking. She didn’t say a word for 2 years. During that ti, she wrote so words for on a maple leaf. That’s one of the warst mory to ." Xu y’s mind held millions of questions but she didn’t ask a single one. It was too soon to pry into their matter.
"Okay, I can work with a maple leaf."
"I feel weird asking President of the company for such a small matter." He voiced out his thoughts.
"I call you Uncle Chen that ans you’re just as much important to as much Uncle Kun is. Don’t feel burdened. I don’t mind at all." Seeing her sincere smile, Zhu Chen relaxed and picked the cup of coffee to take a sip.
