Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

A relationship has a ’ship’ in it. Have you ever wondered why?

Because two people have to board that ship together and even through storms, they have to make sure that any external storm doesn’t get to tear them down. Marriage is also a ship where when we encounter a storm, we can’t just abandon the ship. And the storm in marriage is often spelled T-I-M-E.

In a way, time is a challenge in married life.

In their nine years of marriage, Xu Mey and Jie also faced that challenge of time. Both had their own professional responsibilities that made them stay often apart. And other factors were their respective families.

Jie now being the head of the Zhu Family, had a lot of responsibilities. While Xu Mey had to find time for all her friends and her own father and brother. It was a huge relief that her in-laws weren’t very demanding and also Jie was the one helping her with Zhu Family’s matters. The rest of the time that they had, they’d end up spending it with their kids which was necessary. Their kids had become a priority they couldn’t deny.

The biggest challenge was finding time for each other. A time where they were all alone in the company of each other and lost in each other.

*Eight Years Later*

Sitting in a dimly lit restaurant, Jie’s eyes were staring at his wife who was so engrossed in the menu that it was agitating. In such a romantic restaurant, she had the heart to look at the menu like it was more important than the handsome husband asking for her attention. But he wasn’t receiving any from his heartless wife.

They had fixed a day for a date once a week. Even though life was hard but there was no doubt that their love was sweet. Sweeter than it had ever been. But even after all these years, if one asked both of them ’What marriage is?’ they definitely wouldn’t be able to answer that. Because for them, they were still treading through this journey called marriage.

And this journey had its ups and downs. It had all the happiness but it had a variety of sadness as well. But it was their journey, how could it not be worthwhile?

"Baby, is the menu more important or your husband?" Jie finally questioned as he was really tired of Xu Mey’s behavior.

"Ah-Jie, right now this menu is really important," was Xu Mey’s reply.

"We are out on a date after a month. First, I was on a business trip then you had to leave for a while. We are only getting this time to spend with each other, and you’re telling me that this menu is more important than spending this time with your husband?" Jie felt hurt and disappointed. He was so looking forward to tonight.

"Even Little Juan and Little Bao don’t act as needy as you’re right now," Xu Mey scowled at him and shifted her eyes back to the menu in her hand.

Jie leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands over his chest. Seeing how she was still ignoring him, he said, "If you kept up this act, I’m gonna... Find a girlfriend for myself."

Xu Mey lifted her eyes slightly and said, "Don’t forget you have a wife and two 8 years old kids."

"So?" Jie replied nonchalantly. "I’m thinking of keeping a girlfriend, not a mistress."

"Is there a difference?" She asked curiously.

"Of course, girlfriends like to go on dates. Mistress’ loves to splurge your money and climb your bed. I only need a girlfriend to accompany me on dates. I don’t have the money to waste on keeping a mistress." Jie elaborated matter-of-factly. His elaboration was quite peculiar.

"Girls don’t date married men," said Xu Mey.

Jie snickered as he said, "Aiyo, my baby is so innocent. Don’t you know it’s a trend to date married and mature men? And your husband is still charming and handsome enough to get a bunch of girlfriends."

"Go ahead and find that girlfriend then, stop disturbing me."

Jie stood up from his chair and gritted out, "Don’t regret it later on."

Xu Mey didn’t even spare him a glance and said, "I won’t."

Jie clenched his fists and stared at her head but she didn’t even flinch under his gaze. Taking a deep breath, he walked off saying, "I’m gonna find a hot girlfriend to burn you with jealousy."

Xu Mey didn’t pay attention to his so-called threats of finding a girlfriend. One might call her too arrogant for thinking that Jie won’t love anyone else. But indeed, she was certain that her Jie was only gonna be hers at all costs. No one was there who could snatch him from her.

So, with ease, she ordered food for both of them. But even when the food was served after 10 minutes, Jie was nowhere to be found. Her brows knitted together as she patiently waited for him.

However, being Xu Mey how patient could she possibly be? Well, let me tell you, she wasn’t very patient as she shot up from her chair and walked around the restaurant to find Jie. When she did found him, she was infuriated to see the scene playing out before her very eyes.

Jie was standing beside a very hot girl in a skimpy dress sitting at the barstool. Her hair was sprawled over her one shoulder while there was a huge cleavage on display.

"Why don’t you take a seat? I’ll buy you a drink," the girl offered with a smile on her red lips. She looked young as in her mid-twenties and her young beauty could be easily seen on her bright and beautiful face.

Jie chuckled lightly and said, "I can’t let such a pretty young woman buy a drink for myself. Instead, I should be the one paying."

Xu Mey’s mouth opened wide. Her husband was gonna buy a drink for another woman? Why don’t I just strangle you before that?! Xu Mey rolled up her non-existent sleeves and flipped her hair back saying, "It’s action time! Let’s see how you hit on MY husband!"
