In the silent living room, there was a sound of whimpers suddenly breaking the tranquility of the night. Ye Jie was startled as he saw that the sound of whimpering ca from his dear wife.
He ran up to her and asked, "Baby, what’s wrong?"
"Ah-Jie," Xu y’s face was stained with tears as she wrapped her arms around his neck and said in a choked up voice," My sensei is abandoning ."
"Huh? What do you an?" Ye Jie asked with confusion as he kept rubbing his hand on her back to soothe her.
"My sensei," Xu y’s voice broke in between. "He actually apologized to . Can you believe that?"
"You didn’t want him to?" Ye Jie frowned a bit. ’Wasn’t she just sad because of Ru’s words?’
"No!" Xu y exclaid. "He’s my sensei. He’s the only person in my life who had been honest with . I know everybody loves but all the other people always sugar-coat their words and never tell the truth. But sensei was never like that. He had always been brutally honest with . And I hated that about him." She took a pause to pull herself away from Ye Jie and sniffled a bit. "But his honesty was the thing that made admire him as well. He had always been at a pinnacle for . A place where he didn’t have to feel bad about what he say or do. Today, when he apologized, I felt like he’s breaking himself away from . And I don’t like that feeling at all."
Ye Jie fell into deep thought. "What do you want now, baby?" He asked after much contemplation.
Xu y looked at him with her red eyes and replied, "I don’t want sensei to abandon ."
Ye Jie nodded and stood up as he offered his hand to her. Xu y looked at his hand and then at his face quizzically. "Co, I’ll take you to your sensei."
"Huh? Ah-Jie, sensei is the most difficult person to find. How are you gonna take to him?" Xu y questioned rather innocently.
"Leave that to . I’ll find him but," he paused and added after a sigh, "You won’t ask anything after seeing him."
Xu y was really skeptical about this. How could Ye Jie find her sensei? He only t her sensei once? And even though she trusted Ye Jie and believed in his capabilities, she also was familiar with her sensei. Nonetheless, she chose to hold his hand.
Ye Jie dragged her to his sports car and after settling her in the passenger seat, he took his own seat as the driver.
It took them 2 hours to drive to Imperial and during the ride, Ye Jie didn’t say a word to Xu y. He had been concentrating on driving without any distraction.
When Ye Jie parked the car that’s when Xu y noticed that they were sowhere in the mountains and there was only a small bamboo hut before them. There was no light in the hut or outside of it. Only the soft moonlight was illuminating the area making it rather eerie for Xu y’s liking since she was scared of ghosts.
"Ah-Jie," Xu y held Ye Jie’s arm as her eyes looked at the scary place. "Why are we here?"
Ye Jie patted the back of her head and replied, "Don’t worry. The person inside is scarier than ghosts. So, ghosts won’t waste their ti here."
Before Xu y could react, the cabin before her lit up along with the pathway. Ye Jie led the way and was about to knock at the door when it opened and there stood a 182cm tall figure staring back at him with the beautiful erald green eyes.
"You have got to be kidding with ! What now do you want to bow to offer the apology?" Ru asked glaring at Ye Jie who in return rolled his eyes at her. But before he could answer, Ru bent her body at the 90-degree angle and said, "I’m sorry, Xu y. For saying such hars-"
Her words were cut off when Ye Jie pinched her arm with excessive force. Ru was caught off guard. "You! What? I apologized nah?"
"Sensei?" Xu y was in a daze. First because of seeing her sensei and second because of Ye Jie’s punch. ’This is insane! Ah-Jie pinched sensei and sensei is only glaring in retaliation? What am I missing here?’
"My wife thinks you’re abandoning her and that’s why you apologized," Ye Jie said plainly as looked back at Ru.
"Abandon? When did I say such a thing? And do you think this lord is that easy? I only apologized because of this jerk! Otherwise, this lord would never apologize until he feels like he’s at fault." Ru answered in her usual intimidating manner.
Xu y stared at Ye Jie in disbelief. ’Does Ah-Jie know sensei? If yes, then how? Since when? And why are they closer to each other than ?’ Her mind was reeling with questions.
"Don’t ask! I won’t be able to answer for now." Ye Jie answered her unasked questions. Then he turned to Ru and said, "Tell her that you’re not abandoning her. She’s been crying for such a long ti."
Ru obediently turned to Xu y and said, "I’m not abandoning you. Actually, I can’t! Your husband will kill otherwise."
Ye Jie held Xu y’s face in his hands and told her, "Baby, you heard that? No-one is abandoning you. Now, go back to the car and I’ll be right there with you." Xu y nodded in a daze and went back to the car.
Ye Jie stared intensely at Ru and said, "We need to talk."
"Why? Want to remind again that she’s more important than ?" Ru retorted venomously.
"You used to read out Confucius sayings to and one of those was, ’When anger arises, think of the consequences.’" Ye Jie spoke mildly.
Ru scoffed. "You should have rembered that saying when you lashed out on without so much of a good reason. In our two decades of friendship, you always told right from wrong and I listened. But we only fought two tis and both of the tis, your love interests were involved."
Ye Jie sighed loudly and fell on his knees making Ru’s eyes widen up.
