After getting out of the warehouse, Xu y’s whole persona took a turn. The bloodthirsty aura around her vanished and a cold but calm aura encased her body. Seeing her spotless white dress, no one could tell that she played with blood just a mont ago. She started heading towards the highway to flag a cab for herself. As she was walking, she rummaged her phone out to text Ye Jie.
Xu y: ’You don’t have to pick today. I’m going ho early.’
His reply ca instantly.
Ye Jie: ’Why? Are you feeling okay? Should I co? We should go to the hospital if you’re not feeling well.’
Xu y rolled her eyes at his imaginative mind. But a warm feeling gushed into the depth of her heart making the coldness around her dissipated
Xu y: ’I’m fine. I just don’t have much work today.’
ye Jie: ’Oh... Okay... Don’t start working at ho. Just go to bed to take rest. You need it. You’ve been overexerting yourself a lot this week. And I asked the doctor, he said, you need to cut down on your working habits.’
’Huh? When did he consult a doctor? And why did he consulted a doctor? I thought I was a smart person until now but I really can’t understand you, Mr. Ye Jie.’ She thought to herself while shaking her head with a sigh.
Xu y: ’Okay... I’ll try my best.’
Ye Jie: ’That’s more like my cherry wife.’
Xu y groaned reading the last text. But chose not to reply. She had to walk for a long ti but she didn’t mind. She was used to walking and it felt comfortable to let the soft breeze caress you slowly.
She received Qin Hao’s call informing her that to save Xu Liqing, Jade Stones made there General Manager a scapegoat to get Xu Liqing out of trouble. But since the company is already tagged with being a thief, their shares have dropped drastically and plenty of board mbers were looking for a way to get out of this sinking ship.
Because of Jade Stones, CoCo Jewels also suffered a huge blow especially when they received the news about Sapphire Designs and Vintage Gems Collaboration project.
Xu y had already known that Xu Liqing won’t be implicated. But seeing her being dragged by the police officers and that too on live tv was satisfaction in itself.
Xu y ca back to Peach Estates in a cab. She was right outside the gate when Mother Ye bump into her. Xu y greeted her politely with a bow and was about to walk past her.
Mother Ye’s harsh voice stopped her. "What are you trying to do?" Xu y turned to look at her with a frown. "When I clearly saw your face at the wedding, I knew you’d be a seductress. But I didn’t know, you were this good?"
"I don’t know what you’re trying to imply here, Mother." Xu y was speaking her in low voice.
"Don’t call mother." Mother Ye roared. "I can’t tell how you made my son be against but let warn you. Ye Jie will always listen to . And just . You or any other person won’t be able to control him" With that, she walked away.
Xu y stood at the door with a thinking expression. She realized what Sensei said was right about her mother-in-law. She really wanted to control Ye Jie. But the question was why?
"Whatever!" She said to herself and made her way inside the house. After getting into casual ho clothes, tying her hair in a high ponytail, she walked to her study.
She logged into her email account. Surprisingly, an interesting email was waiting for her.
The title was: ’I knew you’re smart but didn’t take you for the cunning type.’ Xu y hooked her lips upward slightly. She clicked on the email. It read:
’President Xu,
I always heard that we are a very smart and calculative person. But seeing the way you kept your words made realize you’re a very honest person as well. Cunning but honest. I’ll be rooting for President Xu from now. Let know if you need for anything.
Jacob, CEO of Glow Gemstones’
Xu y smiled after reading this email. It was a weird feeling. Without knowing each other at all, he was offering to support her. Even if she didn’t need his help. Soone’s sincere words an a lot more than other’s insincere actions.
She only sent a single line in reply, ’Thanks for showing this sincere gesture.’
Another email ca from him. ’Since we have the sa enemy. I hope this humble person gets a chance to et the famous President Xu. How about a cup of coffee to show my gratitude for keeping your words?’
Xu y replied without having to think for long. ’I promised to spend this weekend with my husband. Maybe so other ti.’
His email ca again after a while. ’I didn’t know President Xu was married. It’s surprising.’
She sent. ’You don’t even know President Xu. Isn’t it obvious that you wouldn’t know that she’s married?’
Mr. Jacob replied again. ’Haha! Fair enough president Xu. But now I’m curious to know which man managed to wrap your heart in his hand.’
Xu y wrote the reply. ’He’s better than woman’s Prince Charming. Not because he’s handso- which he really is- but because he has flaws. He’s perfect because he has flaws. His flaws make him real. If he had no flaws, he’d have been pretentious. He’s soone who makes a person like curious to know what love is. And he’s the man who makes my heart beat like a drum. Most importantly, he can a person like speechless with his words.’
This ti, it took a while before the email arrived. ’He sounds amazing. And you seem to be very fond of him. I wish my wife would say the sa words to one day. But that’s my wishful thinking. Anyways, I’d like to et President Xu whenever she has so ti to spare.’
Xu y replied with, ’Sure!’ and didn’t wait for another email. She turned off the laptop and left the study room.
