Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

"Haven’t you noticed bro? Sis Mey’s name is enough to change your whole persona. You almost forget that the other people also matter not just her." Ye Jun replied sincerely as he sat beside Ye Jie. "I’m not saying that it’s bad. I just think that you should not let others feel insignificant in your life."

"Perhaps that’s why my best friend said that I chose love over friendship of two decades." Ye Jie mumbled to himself as Ru’s words came to his mind.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about but bro, I do know that you need to realize something. Your world can’t just always revolve around sis Mey. Because a lot of other people also are present in your life." Ye Jun reminded his elder brother since he felt that someone needed to break this news to him that he was disregarding other people in his life who really cared about him.

Ye Jun patted his shoulder and got up to leave when he saw Jun Li Na coming his way. "Let’s leave now, Jun." Hearing Jun Li Na’s voice, Ye Jun instantly sprang up to leave.

When they both left, Xu Mey noticed Ye Jie’s somber face. "Ah-Jie, is everything okay?" She asked seemingly perturbed by his expressions.

Ye Jie immediately smiled at her and said, "Absolutely. Everything is fine." He stood up and told her, "I’m gonna take a shower." Then he left her alone in the living room while he went to take a shower upstairs.

After taking the shower, Ye Jie didn’t see Xu Mey in the bedroom. He came out of the room to look for her and found her fiddling with something in the kitchen. He was about to enter when he heard her soft voice, "Hey, Sensei!" Ye Jie stopped in his track. As if someone froze him at the spot.

He couldn’t hear anything in reply but it seemed that neither could Xu Mey since she called out, "Sensei, are you there?"

"Yes. I am right here!" Ye Jie’s eyes widened when he realized that Xu Mey had put the phone on speaker. Something in him didn’t let him move away. He hadn’t heard Ru’s voice since the fight. Or was it a fight? Argument? Okay, let’s call it miscommunication for now.

Although it wasn’t her real voice, he was glad that at least he could know that she was fine.

"Oh, sensei did you like the show tonight?" Xu Mey asked excitedly.

"Huh? What show?" Ru’s voice came from the other side.

"Sensei, you don’t know? How’s that possible? You always knew what’s happening in my life." Xu Mey felt odd since it was really the first time that her sensei was clueless about something related to her.

"You are a married woman. This lord should stop involving himself in your matters. That’s why I stopped keeping track of your plans." Ru answered plainly but knowing her nature, Ye Jie knew that she was putting her words very mildly.

Xu Mey scowled but she didn’t say anything about it. "Well, let me tell you tonight I made a super hit show," She continued to relate the whole event and added, "Now, I need your help to make it super duper hit." She was beaming from ear to ear.

Ye Jie heard a tired sigh as Ru’s voice came again, "How can this lord help you?"

"It’s very easy for you actually. All you have to do is," she told the whole plan to Ru and went on, "it should happen by tomorrow morning. It can’t be difficult for my sensei, right?"

"Send me the name and details. It’ll be done by the morning." Ru was about to hang up but Xu Mey spoke again.

"Sensei, don’t you like me anymore?" Xu Mey asked in a sad voice. "I mean you didn’t even call me since the last time at the hospital. Are you mad that I didn’t take the dagger from your hand? But I had my reaso-" Before Xu Mey could continue Ru interrupted her.

"This lord really doesn’t care about the fact that you didn’t take that dagger. What matters is that you got your revenge in your way. Congratulations on that." Although there was nothing wrong with Ru’s voice, Xu Mey felt like those words were odd.

"Sensei, do you think that I did something wrong?" Xu Mey asked softly.

"Are you happy with what you did?" Ru asked in return.

"Yes. I’m more than just happy. I finally dropped that Xu Liqing down along with Fu Lan." Xu Mey was smiling triumphantly.

"Then you really don’t need my approval for your actions. Not mine or anyone else’. Because they haven’t lived your life and they can never understand your reasons for doing what you did."

Xu Mey frowned a bit. "I don’t need the world’s approval. I just want yours."

"Haha..." Xu Mey heard a deep laugh surprising her. "You want my approval? I guess then my words are only going to hurt you as always. I never approved of your revenge 13 years ago and I still stand where I did back then."

"You think I’m wrong with the revenge?" Xu Mey really hoped that her sensei would approve her revenge. At least this once.

"No... I just find it quite unnecessary as always." Before Xu Mey could say anything Ru spoke again, "It’s true that I haven’t lived your life and I have no right to judge you, with the kind of person I am. But... I still find it funny that you have 99% of people to love you and yet you chose to drive your life for that 1% of hateful people. It’s very bizarre for me."

Although Xu Mey knew that her sensei was brutal with words, it still hurt her. Especially because the words weren’t wrong. She chose to drive her life in hate for just two people while a hundred were around her to love her. But before today, her sensei never said these words.

Ru always just told Xu Mey to leave the revenge to her and focus on the people who care for her in this life. But Xu Mey was the one who chose this path. Did she regret it? No! Even if she did, she’ll never say it out loud. Because she knew that once she actually accepted it that her revenge ruined her heart, her life will shatter away.

"I did the wrong thing, huh?" Xu Mey managed to say out loud.

"Wrong? Yes! But then again, we are all wrong. We all do the wrong things. But our reasons are always right. I always wondered how do our reasons become the right thing when we are the ones called, ’Wrong’? Let me tell you, the thing is your reason for revenge was never wrong. It was you who was wrong to disregard the love of hundreds to always let yourself burn in the fire of hatred." With that, Ru disconnected the call leaving Xu Mey alone to ponder and Ye Jie to reel with complicated thoughts.
