There is a saying, "Let life surprise you."

  Nah!

  It’s actually not the life that surprises you. It’s the person you made your life that surprises you. So, let’s change the phrase a bit: "Let the one you call life surprise you."

  Just let that someone take the reins and let him blow your damn mind. It doesn’t hurt to be surprised once in a while.

  Xu Mey propped her chin on her palm as her clear black orbs stared at the man sitting before her. Xu Mey was rather used to shocks than surprises. Therefore, she was a bit confused about whether Ye Jie was a shock in her life or a surprise.

  Life catches us as a surprise. But in my case, you’re hell-bent on catching me by surprise. Why are you doing this? Isn’t my life messy enough? You’re scaring me even more now. What if you suddenly decided to drop me? With these thoughts going wild in her mind, Xu Mey still held an indifferent look.

  It was the second time in Xu Mey’s life when she wished to have superpowers to read someone’s mind. She really wished to open Ye Jie’s mind to see what tactic was he trying.

  There wasn’t much said after that and they both ate the meal in an unsaid harmony. Either there was nothing to talk about or they both had no courage to say was another mystery. They both left the restaurant under the gazes of people around after eating.

  Xu Mey had been an observant person for all her life. She was a bit sensitive to change. With her observant nature, Xu Mey realized that this week, Ye Jie had a consistency. He never called her by her name instead chose to use my dear wife every single time. He always was the first one to greet her in the morning and without kissing the top of her head, he never left for office.

  Even if this was a small change, it was a change for her-

  Friday, Lotus Entertainments Head Office at lunch hour-

  Li Qiao was having a discussion with some new directors in his company when there was a knock on the door. Yu Kim opened the door slightly and said, "Sorry to disturb you, Sir. Mr. Ye is here to see you."

  Li Qiao frowned. "Mr. Ye?"

  "Mr. Ye Jie. Xu-" Before she could complete, Li Qiao interrupted her.

  "Send him in." Then he turned to the people around him. "We’ll continue after some time." He was perplexed but he couldn’t just let Ye Jie wait for him.

  After 5 minutes, Ye Jie walked in his sapphire blue tailor-made suit. He had his usual noble aura around him. Just one glance and Li Qiao knew how much attention Ye Jie must have attracted from the time he entered his company building.

  "Hello, Mr. Ye!" Li Qiao greeted him politely and stretched his arm to indicate for him to take a seat. He sat right opposite of him.

  "Sorry for coming unannounced." Li Qiao waved it off like it wasn’t a big deal. Ye Jie went quiet after that. He had a lot of things in mind but now he didn’t know how to ask.

  "What do you wanna know about Mey-Mey?" Li Qiao’s surprised Ye Jie.

  "How did you?" Ye Jie didn’t know what gave it away that he was here to talk about Xu Mey.

  "You and I have only one thing in common…… Xu Mey." Ye Jie instinctively nodded.

  "You must have heard that she doesn’t want to go to honeymoon." Li Qiao nodded indicating that he had heard about it.

  Ye Kim entered with a cup of coffee for both of them and left immediately after placing it on the coffee table.

  "I wanted to take her out. But I don’t have any idea where?" Ye Jie stated his dilemma.

  Li Qiao picked his cup of coffee and took a sip letting the hot coffee burn his tongue. "You can take her anywhere. It doesn’t make much difference." Li Qiao stated with a straight face.

  "Why doesn’t it make a difference?"

  "Just because it doesn’t." Was the only reply he received. Ye Jie realized why Xu Mey was so difficult. It came from this guy.

  They were quiet for a minute before Ye Jie said, "You don’t seem to be fond of me."

  Li Qiao reclined back in his seat. With his legs crossed, a black cup held between his long slender fingers, he looked distinguished. "It’s not that I don’t like you. I’m still deciding."

  "Ha? Deciding? About what?" Ye Jie’s curiosity was piqued.

  "Have you heard, ’A good destiny is when two people find each other without even looking.’" Li Qiao asked and Ye Jie nodded instinctively. "You and Xu Mey are the two people who met without looking for each other. You were looking for someone else and she had no plan to even start looking for anyone. What I can’t seem to decide is whether you’re her good destiny or bad?" Li Qiao took another sip of his coffee while his sight was trained on Ye Jie’s face.

  Ye Jie was in deep thought. He couldn’t think of a reply. Li Qiao’s voice broke the trail of his thoughts, "Let me ask you something, Mr. Ye." Ye Jie looked up at him as Li Qiao uncrossed his legs and sat straight. "Are you ready to put Xu Mey in your heart or are you gonna make her fight for a place in your heart with someone else?"

  The question seemed very simple but Ye Jie felt the pressure. Did he want Xu Mey to fight with someone? If yes then who? Lu Yuhan? Definitely not! But was he ready to put her in his heart? Or did he already gave her the place?

  Ye Jie’s lips curled upward slightly. "Fight? She doesn’t have to fight with anyone. Naturally, the place in my heart should belong to her since she’s my wife. But even if I don’t give it to her…… That beautiful smile, that indifference in her eyes for me, her adorable scowl and her as a person…… She doesn’t need me to put her in my heart, she knows how to find her way in my heart."
