All of them didn’t stay for long. They only advise Xu y to take care of her health and threw warning looks towards Ye Jie before leaving. Ye Jie pulled Xu y to their bedroom after everyone left.
"I’m really sorry," She heard his faint guilty voice as he made her sit on the bed. She arched her brows in a questioning manner. "Sorry for not being much of help with mom and food."
After comprehending his aning she said, "It’s not much of a deal."
Ye Jie gave a humorless smile. "I would have believed you on normal days. But today, you were sick." He crouched down before her on the ground and held her hands. "I never really disobeyed her. The last ti I argued with her was-" He stopped speaking making Xu y curious.
"When was the last ti?" She asked.
He looked into her black orbs asking, "Do you really wanna know? It... It’s actually related to my ex." He was hesitant in his words.
"I have no problem in listening at all." She replied with a straight face. "But you could feel hurt after living through the mory lane."
Ye Jie frowned. "No, I won’t. She doesn’t have a place in my life or my heart anymore."
"Then why are you getting frustrated?" She asked making his frown deeper. "I believe you when you said she doesn’t have a place in your life but when you say she’s not in your heart..." She sighed. "I really don’t believe you."
"How can I make you believe in my words?"
"It’s very simple actually. I’ll believe you the day you won’t hesitate to talk about her."
"Any reason for that?" Ye Jie placed her legs up on the bed and placed pillows to support her back. Then covered her legs with the duvet.
"My Wang bro had a girlfriend years ago. He fell in love with her and spent an entire year with her. When he t her, he told her that he was a painter. An artist trying to make his na in this big world." She was looking into a distant.
"He lied?" Ye Jie sat beside her on the bed as he asked.
"No... He didn’t lie... He was actually trying to make a na for himself through painting during that ti. He never liked that girls approached him because he was Wu Wang- the heir of Global Corporations. But he wanted an honest relationship. He thought he found that love in her. Especially when she beca pregnant with his child." She took a pause. Ye Jie’s whole attention was on her.
"Wang Bro decided to propose her and co clean about his identity but in the end, when he was on his knee, she told him about the abortion. The reason was simple, she didn’t want to marry soone who didn’t hold an identity worth ntioning, after all, she was supposedly a noble lady from a business family."
Ye Jie was confused. "How is this related to ?"
"Be patient..." She shifted a bit. "It’s been almost 8 years and Wang Bro still has a portrait of her in his penthouse. He’s known to be a playboy now. But he still has feelings for her." She shook her while sighing.
Ye Jie thought for a minute before speaking. "Maybe he’s keeping her portrait as a reminder of his mistake of loving the wrong person."
Xu y smiled at his statent. "That’s what Wang Bro said as well. But that’s not true. The day he’ll be ready to sell that portrait will be the day, all of us will believe that she doesn’t have any control over his heart anymore."
Without even realizing it, Ye Jie had given control of his emotions to Lu Yuhan. He realized that talking about her really made him frustrated. And frustration is also a feeling. In Xu y’s words, when her na won’t be able to bring any kind of feeling in him, that’s when she’ll be out of his heart.
’Couldn’t she just say it like an ordinary person?’ He thought. ’But wait! I didn’t know anything about Wu Wang. I always thought he was just a playboy but he seems to be hiding a lot in him.’
No one could bla Ye Jie for his opinion. Not even Xu y. Wu Wang had portrayed himself as a playboy who only has single night-stands. He never approached girls or try to establish any other relationship. Most of all, he never gave any girl hope. He knew how much it hurt when hopes are shattered.
Ye Jie passed her painkillers with warm water and asked her to relax. "Where are you going?" She asked seeing him getting up from the bed.
"I’m going downstairs to get you so milk and then I have so work to finish. But don’t worry, I’ll be done very soon." He replied as he headed to the door.
Rembering the start of the conversation, Xu y asked, "What about your first argunt with your mother?"
Ye Jie stopped in his steps and turned to look at her. "You still are curious?" Xu y nodded. "It happened about a year ago, mom was against our relationship and she asked to break up with her. I refused and that’s how the argunt happened."
Xu y creased her brows. "And then what?"
"Ha? Then nothing... My ex broke up with and left. So, the argunt with mom ended naturally." He shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the door.
She was deep in thought when Ye Jie ca back with a cup of milk and made her drink it right in front of him.
"By the way, for soone who doesn’t like cooking, you made one hell of a feast... Where did you learn to cook?" He was getting curious about her knowledge about food.
"I learned cooking to bribe soone." She replied nonchalantly.
"Do I need to know about it?" He asked cautiously.
"Not yet," She turned her head to one side. After that, he kissed the top of her head and asked her to take so rest. He went down to his study to work.
Xu y picked up her own laptop to check emails but instead her mind was wandering off to Ye Jie’s words. A ring tone broke her wool-gathering. Catching the caller id flashing on the screen, she smiled broadly.
