Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

She remembered once her Sensei told her, "Look for your safe haven, Mey-Ai?"

Xu Mey asked in return, "Where will I find it? Where will I have to go?"

"You don’t have to go anywhere. Just listen to your heart and one day, someone’s arms will become your safe haven." Xu Mey was demented by this reply. Because she didn’t want to believe that someone can become a safe haven for anyone.

But at this moment, that memory made her snort at her own self. She surely was kooky to think that a person can’t become another’s safe haven. She raised her hand and touched the soft hair of the man who still had his face buried in her neck lovingly. ’Are you really the safe haven I was looking for?’ Xu Mey asked inwardly.

He wasn’t just making her feel protected from the world. He was also protecting her from herself. Just his presence was enough to take Xu Mey’s mind off of her wounds, pain, and past. He was teaching her to learn to live in the present. The present which had him. And the future, they were supposed to build together.

The Xu Mey who used to spend hours thinking about making the lives of people who hurt her miserable was actually planning on how to ease up his burden. She didn’t want him to be worried about anything. His exhausted look made her heart feel a prickling feeling. And she didn’t like that feeling at all.

In all these thoughts, Xu Mey had completely lost track of time and when she looked out the window, she frowned. "This isn’t the way to home." She commented softly.

Ye Jie who was relishing in the way her slender fingers ran through his silky smooth hair didn’t want to open his eyes at all. "I know." He replied in his husky tone as his hot breath stroked her neck making her feel electrocuted.

Xu Mey shook her head lightly and took a deep breath to get her thoughts straight. "Where are we going?" She asked as she tried to take her hand away from his hair which felt nice to touch but Ye Jie’s hand held her hand and placed it back in his hair.

"I need to take you somewhere. We’ll reach there soon." He replied and adjusted his head back in her neck. Xu Mey didn’t question it at all.

There was only a dim light of road lights falling on her face from time to time as she still was held in his lap. She thought he’ll get tired eventually. It wasn’t like she was light as a feather. Although she was said to be malnourished because she never took care of her meals but that didn’t mean she was not heavy at all.

But she read somewhere that when you have interest, nothing is too heavy. For instance, for a man picking up a sack filled with 10kg weight might be tough but for a groom picking up his bride of even 60kg is not a difficult task at all. In conclusion, interest is all that matters.

Psst... Xu Mey laughed at her own thoughts. She had to bit her tongue to not let the laughter escape. Because if Ye Jie asked the reason for her laugh, she might have nothing to say at all.

It was past midnight when the car stopped and Qi Guan opened the door of the back seat. Xu Mey disembarked and looked around. The building in front of her had a huge fluorescent board with the words: ’First Emporer Hospital’ She frowned and turned to look at Ye Jie with an arched brow.

’Don’t tell me he found out about my accident?’ She thought but shook her head to deny her own conjecture. ’He didn’t have to bring me to Imperial City for that, right?’

He didn’t say anything, just held her hand in his own and walked towards the west wing. It was the VIP Ward Wing and to Xu Mey’s surprise, it was completely empty. Xu Mey decided to have patience and see what he was trying to do. They took the elevator to the sixth floor and Ye Jie brought her to the end of the corridor.

Xu Mey had a weird kind of fear of hospitals. They were eerily silent at times and it scared her a lot. But even though at the moment, the hospital was too quiet for her liking, Ye Jie was holding her hand giving her a reassurance silently that he was there just for her. And it calmed her a lot. The crawling fear in her heart was diminished instantly.

Room No. 610... Ye Jie stood before the door, took a deep breath and slid the door open. Xu Mey heard the beep... beep... beep from the machines as her eyes fell on the frail figure lying still on the white bed with a lot of tubes attached to her.

Ye Jie paced up to the bedside with Xu Mey trailing behind him. The girl on the bed looked sallow and wan along with all the machines made it as if her life was hanging by a single thread that could break any minute. She was wearing the blue colored hospital gown which made her complexion look paler in comparison.

But her beauty could not be overlooked. She had clear and soft features. Long lashes that made shadows on her under eyes. She had long brown colored hair but looking at her felt like she wasn’t dying but rather sleeping peacefully.

Xu Mey tilted her head to look at Ye Jie and saw the tender look in his eyes as he gazed at the girl on the bed. Xu Mey pursed her lips. She didn’t know what to think or what to say. But she knew whatever she said will not be the right words. She had to pull this trigger at all costs and she did. "Who is she?" She asked.

Ye Jie stroked the hair of the girl lying on the bed lovingly and with a sadness in his eyes, he replied, "She’s the reality, I’m running from."
