"Ah Jie! Ah Jie!" Xu Mey ran up to Ye Jie’s side and started shaking him. "Wake up! We have to go to the hospital."

  Ye Jie instantly sat up and held her hand, turned her to a side looking all over her body. "Why? What’s wrong, baby? Did you get hurt?" His anxious face surprised Xu Mey.

  "I’m fine…… Ah Jie, we have to go to the hospital to remove my stitches." She reminded him and he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

  "Gosh! That was one bad scare you gave me there." Xu Mey chuckled when she saw him rubbing his chest.

  "I didn’t know that Ah Jie has such a weak heart." She commented.

  Ye Jie pulled her hand which he was holding, making her land on his lap. "I didn’t have a weak heart before…… But you had turned my heart into a weak one."

  Xu Mey innocently looked at him and asked, "Are you blaming me?"

  Ye Jie touched the tip of her nose with his own and said, "How can I be an idiot to blame you?"

  "You better not be." Ye Jie nodded and placed his chin on her shoulder. "Come on! Get up already. We need to leave."

  "Hmm……" Ye Jie replied still nuzzling into her soft hair- up and down. His movements made Xu Mey inhale a sharp breath.

  "Ah Jie!" She raised her voice an octave and Ye Jie groaned while reluctantly letting her go.

  Ye Jie went inside the bathroom to take a shower while Xu Mey walked inside the closet to look for clothes. She was skimming through her clothes when her phone rang in her pocket. She rummaged it out and answered the call. "What is it?" She asked curtly.

  "President Xu, Ms. Fu Lan’s lawyer is here to look for you. Ms. Xu Liqing hasn’t gone back to her house since last night and the last person she met was you. So, they are insinuating that you’re behind her disappearance." Qin Hao related the details to her.

  ’You surely are eager to face your doom, Ms. Fu Lan.’ Xu Mey smirked to herself. "Do I need to tell you what to do?"

  "Should we start our counterattack?" He asked for her permission.

  "This seems to be the right time." She replied and hung up.

  While they were on the road after 30 minutes, Xu Mey asked Ye Jie to take the left turn instead of the right one where the hospital was. "Where are we going? We didn’t eat breakfast as well." He said looking at the road.

  "No questions." Ye Jie kept silent after that. Was it possible that Xu Mey said something and Ye Jie had the courage to disregard it? Of course not! Definitely not! He realized, how much he enjoyed listening to her every demand. Especially because she rarely made any demands. Also, because his feelings for her cleared up last night.

  After driving for 30 minutes, they entered the military compounds area. Ye Jie had no clue what Xu Mey was planning. In reality, even Xu Mey herself didn’t know what she was planning. She was just listening to her heart and her heart told her to bring Ye Jie here.

  "Xiao Mey?" He Jian’s mother was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Mey so early in the morning.

  "Auntie Qin-Qin," Xu Mey called her name and hugged her tightly.

  "How’s your ankle? Is it better? Did you take care of it? I told you not to leave until you’re alright. But you really don’t listen at all." She kept talking and talking until her eyes landed on Ye Jie beside Xu Mey.

  For a moment, her eyes widened. She couldn’t believe her eyes that the young man before her looked so much like her own brother. Xu Mey noticed the odd look in her eyes and said, "Auntie, this my husband, Ye Jie. And Ah Jie, this is my Auntie Qin-Qin, Jian-Ge’s mother."

  "Hello, Mrs. He!" Ye Jie politely greeted her with a noble bearing stunning Auntie Qin-Qin even more.

  It took her a while to come around and she said, "You can just call me Auntie Qin-Qin like Our Xiao Mey."

  "Thank you, Auntie!" Ye Jie said with a smile and watching the crinkles around his eyes, she felt a bit dizzy.

  "Oh, Auntie, is Uncle Chen still at your place?" Xu Mey asked about Dr. Zhu Chen.

  "Ha? Oh, yeah…… Chen is still here." She replied and invited them inside the house.

  Everyone was gathering for breakfast just like Xu Mey guessed. "Hi, everyone!" She said and all the gazes shifted to her.

  "Xiao Mey, why are you running around with your ankle still hurt?" He Jian scolded her.

  "Exactly, you should be resting. Not hopping around everywhere." He Jian’s father spoke forgetting all about his newspaper.

  "Aiyo! What’s wrong with you all? Xiao Mey must be here to remove her stitches, right?" Dr. Zhu Chen spoke up for her and Xu Mey who hung her head low like she’d been wronged looked up.

  "Uncle Chen is really wise. Jian-Ge and Uncle Kun, Xiao Mey won’t talk to you both anymore." Xu Mey turned to face Ye Jie and said, "Ah Jie, let’s go! No one even asked me if I’ve eaten or not."

  Ye Jie was too stunned to react at all. When did his wife turn into such an adorable girl? And she even knew how to act so pitifully, looking still adorable? She even has such a cute temper? She really didn’t seem like the girl who liked holding a sword against the world to fight. At this moment, she felt like she was relaxed between these people.

  "Oh boy! Xiao Mey, you didn’t eat anything? Come have a seat here, Auntie’s little munchkin." Auntie Qin-Qin coaxed her but Xu Mey ignored her.

  She again said to Ye Jie, "Ah Jie, tell her that I’m full from hearing all the scolding early in the morning."

  "Aiyo! Auntie’s munchkin, Auntie’s really sorry. You can be angry with Auntie but what’s the food’s fault. And coincidently, I’ve made your favorite Steamed Buns filled with a lot of meat." She looked eagerly at Xu Mey who was still playing hard to get.

  But Xu Mey’s eyes really sparkled when she heard about the Steamed Buns. She acted like she was unwilling and said, "Well…… Food is not at fault…… And since you’re insisting so much then…… I’ll have a bite."

  She held Ye Jie’s arm and dragged him to the table. Ye Jie fully understood why she was relaxed. The reason was simple; here all people loved her to the extent that they loved seeing her tantrums. She really was like a pampered person here who had the right to have a slight temper. And Ye Jie was glad that she had a home where she could be this happy and where people loved her unconditionally.
