Meanwhile, at Ye Jie’s end, there was a storm brewing. Not in the sky rather it was in Ye Jie’s heart. Clad in only a bathrobe with shampoo all over his hair, he was running after his best friend as if his life depended on it.

  "You turned the water off." It wasn’t a question. It was not an unfound accusation either. It was a clear declaration.

  "Aigoo! How can a poor baby like me, can do that?" He heard his best friend’s pleasant voice filled with an innocence that could make anyone believe that she was being wrongly accused.

  "I’m gonna murder you, Ru!" Ye Jie exclaimed with raging fury.

  "First, you can’t kill me, my best friend. Second, haha…… Even if you could, you wouldn’t because you love me so much. Third, Gosh! You have some serious abs game going on there." She waved her hand playfully looking at his exposed toned chest making Ye Jie even more furious.

  "You! You!" Ye Jie was seething in a volcano ready to burn his best friend any moment.

  "What me? I’m beautiful? I know that." She commented as she took off her baseball cap and let her Korean-Style messy layered short hair fall on her forehead. She raised her hand and touched her messy hair flipping them sidewards. She had red hair with copper highlights complimenting her green eyes perfectly. With her high cheekbones and mixed breed features along with golden skin, she was the perfection of beauty in herself. Her movements were so beautiful that even Ye Jie was stuck for a moment.

  Ye Jie really wanted to argue with her but he knew, she wasn’t narcissist as the world said about her. With her talents and beauty, she had the right to have this pride in herself.

  "Turn the water on, I don’t want to argue with you early in the morning." All of his anger vanished into thin air and he paced back to the bathroom to complete his bath.

  After 20 minutes, when he came back to the living area of the presidential suite, he saw his best friend sitting in the balcony while looking out at the haze. She was wearing black jeans with a black tee and a side-zipper stylish hoodie on the outside. When she felt Ye Jie’s presence, she muttered, "Cheapskate!"

  Ye Jie heard that making him sigh loudly. "Are you calling me a cheapskate because I didn’t let you those fish cakes last night?" He asked pacing up to her side and taking a seat opposite of hers. She ignored him completely and turned her head away with a humph. Ye Jie chuckled inwardly at her adorable actions. "I can’t believe you, Ru. Do you know how much street food you ate last night? Street food is supposed to be inexpensive yet I paid almost a 1000$ for that food. That’s how much you ate."

  "I only asked for food and yet you didn’t let me try those fish cakes. They looked so yummy dipped in that sauce." She was almost drooling just remembering it.

  "Fine!" Ye Jie grumbled. "I’ll take you out to eat as much fish cakes you can possibly eat. Even though I believe even the stall won’t have enough fish cakes to satiate your hunger."

  "Really? Okay!" She replied excitedly as her thin lips stretched showing her pearly white teeth. She completely disregarded his last sentence. It was not like there was going to be only one stall on the food street? Aye! She was rubbing her hands inwardly with an evil laugh.

  Ye Jie made a call to his wife, Xu Mey right before his best friend, Ru. "Good morning, Baby!" His coquettish voice made Xu Mey’s heart flutter.

  "So, you decided to move from Cherry wife to Baby?" She asked completely disregarding the butterflies in her stomach.

  Ye Jie chuckled at her question. "Why? Shouldn’t do it?" He asked.

  "I didn’t say that." She replied softly.

  "Well, it’s about time that my Baby gives me a name as well." He suggested.

  Xu Mey coughed. "Don’t you have work to do? Stop wasting time with me." She avoided answering him.

  Ye Jie was a bit disappointed but he didn’t let it show in his tone. "Have a nice day at work, Baby. I’ll call you at night." They hung up after that small phone call.

  Ru was looking at her best friend’s face intently. She saw the happiness but his frowns were not hidden from her as well. "What up?" She asked.

  Ye Jie pursed his lips looking at Ru’s green eyes. He sighed. "I feel like her moods are unpredictable." He commented.

  "What do you mean?" She asked.

  Ye Jie thought for a while before replying. "Let’s take the example of the night we were opening our wedding gifts." He took a pause. "She was completely uninterested in gifts unlike you." He gave a look over to Ru making her narrow her eye at him. "But a certain gift made her very happy. And I know it was from her Sensei for sure." Ru stiffened for a second before relaxing back.

  "How are you sure?" She asked curiously.

  "Because of the smile on her face." He replied in a ’duh’ kind of way making Ru roll her eyes at him. "Now that I look at it, it seems that her Sensei is very similar to you." Ru avoided his eyes.

  "Why?"

  "He has the same bad sense of rhyming as you." He replied with sarcasm making her scowl.

  "Hei! I’m very good at rhyming, okay?" She knew herself, that she wasn’t that good at it as she always believed herself to be but who cares? As long as she was happy with it.

  "Whatever!" Ye Jie avoided the banter yet again. "So, what I was saying was that there was another gift that caught her attention. But she seemed very angry seeing it."

  "What was it?" Ye Jie explained the design of the platinum bracelet in detail. "Tsk…… Tsk…… Tsk…… My dear best friend. You really are dense." Ru commented.

  "What do you mean?" Ye Jie asked.

  "There was a red tulip flower, Eiffel tower, and a crescent moon. Are you really not getting it?" Ye Jie shook his head. Ru flicked his forehead making him rub the sore spot between his brows. "A tulip flower means eternal or perfect love, Eiffel tower is the representation of the city of love and a crescent moon is like the love of a dark night." Ye Jie raised his brows letting her complete. "In other words, whoever sent the gift said to your wife that he fell in eternal love with her on the Eiffel tower under the crescent moonlight."

  Ye Jie was struck with a bolt. "You’re messing with me right?" He asked with no confidence.

  "What do you think?" She retorted.
