It took Xu y a long while to make Ye Jun understand the reason behind Jun Li Na not giving out her number. There were two reasons; first, she loved her fiance a lot more than Xu y could understand and second, Jun Li Na was an only daughter of a family that was deeply tied to the underworld.
"Take my advice and forget about Li Na." Xu y tried to convince him.
"Is her fiance so great that I can’t possibly compete with him?" Ye Jun was feeling indignant.
"That I don’t know."Xu y replied calmly.
"You’re her best friend. How do you not know?" Ye Jun was suspicious. It felt odd that a best friend didn’t know about her other best friend’s fiance.
"I never t him."
"Why not? She’s your best friend."
"I never t him because I was never interested." Xu y took a pause and seeing the confusion on Ye Jun’s face, she continued. "Jun Li Na was my neighbor and that’s how we beca friends. But when I was 8, I was sent to boarding school. I got distant to her but I still was in contact with her. We lost contact when I was 12 and... *cough* Anyways, I didn’t have a way to contact her for a while. Later I t Jun Li Na during the last year of college and by that ti, she was already engaged to soone. I never asked because I don’t like asking and she didn’t tell. Maybe she thought I was not interested in knowing him which I definitely wasn’t."
She took a deep breath after explaining everything in the shortest version possible. Ye Jun was focused on the story but Ye Jie only noticed that small pause with a cough. She avoided saying sothing and Ye Jie had a nagging feeling that it wasn’t as simple as losing contact for so small reason.
What do you want to hide so badly, dear wife?
Ye Jun was downhearted. He obediently took the dicine and went to his room to get so rest. Xu y and Ye Jie both had the dinner together after freshening up. The maid that Ye Jun sent away in the morning ca back and made a lavish al. There were cheesy shrimp spring rolls, beef fried rice, hoisin roast asparagus, Egg drop soup along with almond crescent cookies.
As much as it was a feast for the eyes, it was much better in taste. Xu y ate with content and Ye Jie was alighted to see her happy face thoroughly enjoying the al.
The discussion during the dinner was very casual. Like Ye Jie asked: "How was your day?"
Xu y replied: "It was okay. And yours?"
Ye Jie: "Mine was really good as usual. It got better with that mysterious note in my coat."
Xu y’s chopsticks stopped mid-air. She gave him a side glance. "Mysterious note?" She was planning on pretending to know nothing.
Ye Jie: "Forget it. There was sothing like that." He realized how she wasn’t an open person and decided to play the ignorant ga.
After the harmonious dinner, Ye Jie went to his study to work on the project he had to leave mid-way because of Ye Jun. Xu y couldn’t do much during the day at the office and decided to make up for it herself.
When she was about to open the wooden door of her own ho-office, her gaze fell on a red envelope with a single daisy flower above it. She arched her body to pick them up from the floor. She looked around with confusion and shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly.
She brought both things in the office and placed them on the table while reclining on her leather chair. She held the envelope between her fingers as she played with it while her gaze was stuck on the daisy. After much contemplation, she opened the envelope and took out the note inside. She could sll the faint scent of cherry blossoms on the note.
"My Dear Wife, Xu y,
Although the way you answered was really an archaic way. But I loved it. It gave the feeling that I was important enough for you to take the effort to write an answer. So, I chose that sa archaic way to say my piece.
You’re right. Ti doesn’t matter. Monts do. And I’ll feel honored to be a part of your worthwhile monts.
I already figured that you’re not good with words. And it doesn’t matter to . I know my limits.
What I don’t know is you. And what I want to know is you and only you.
Do you know what a daisy flower represent in flower language? It ans innocence, loyalty, and purity. It is exactly like your nature. You’re innocent when it cos to love. You are loyal and anyone can tell from your relationship with your friends. And purity is sothing that is written all over your face. You seem so pure that even I’m scared that I might taint you with a single touch.
You must have read this poem of Christy Ann Martine:
’Shed your insecurities
and reveal yourself to
so I can see each Imperfection,
cherish every flaw,
get to know you
from the inside out,
for my love is raw.’
Daisy is usually given between friends to keep a secret and to never unfold that secret.
I’m giving this daisy to my wife. It’s a promise that all our imperfections, flaws will stay between us. I want to know you inside out no matter how much ti it takes and I’ll let you see everything that I am without hiding anything.
All you have to do is stand by my side and I assure you, I’ll be standing right by your side as well. Let’s start this relationship with being friends. Hope that will bring so comfort to you.
Your one and only husband, Ye Jie A.K.A Your Mr. Rain."
Xu y might not have known before what effect her note had on Ye Jie but after reading his words, she had no way to avoid the reality. Whether he was a smooth talker or not, only ti can tell. For now, I can give you a chance.
