In just 5 minutes, Xu Mey received a message with Xu Liqing’s location. She immediately turned to leave but Fu Shuang held her wrist. "Where are you going, Mey?" He asked.

  "That’s none of your business, Master Shuang." Xu Mey replied and realized something. "What did you just call me?"

  Fu Shuang straightened up and stared back at her. "I called you Mey. Isn’t that your name?"

  "How did……? No, When did you know?" She asked.

  "Would you believe it if I said that I knew it from the moment I saw you again?" Fu Shuang retorted.

  "Then why didn’t you say so?"

  "If I had, would you have talked to me?" Xu Mey knew that he was right, she would have avoided him at all costs instead of using him for this long.

  After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "I see you’re still crazy."

  Fu Shuang smiled but didn’t argue with her. "Now, would you tell me what are you planning on doing?"

  "Now, I have more reasons not to tell you. Enjoy your birthday party." Xu Mey turned to leave.

  "Don’t do anything reckless!" She halted as she heard Fu Shuang’s voice from behind.

  Xu Mey turned her body and asked, "Why not? Huh? She can send assassins to kill me and I’m not allowed to even act recklessly?"

  Both Fu Shuang and Xu Liqing were stunned listening to her words. "What do you mean, Mey-Mey?" Jun Li Na asked.

  Xu Mey snickered, "That psychotic witch sent assassins to kill me and I would have died by now if dad wouldn’t have been there to take the bullet for me." As she spoke, both Fu Shuang and Jun Li Na turned pale. "Do you still want me to not act recklessly?"

  Fu Shuang composed himself and said firmly, "Yes…… I don’t want you to act recklessly. We don’t have to stoop to her level. I know she went far but I think you’d feel more peaceful if Xu Liqing ended up exactly as you did back then."

  At the reminder of that past, Xu Mey felt bitter and said, "You really don’t get to talk about my past since you left. That too even without saying a word to me."

  Fu Shuang scowled at her last statement and held her shoulders asking, "What do you mean that I didn’t provide you with a reason?"

  Xu Mey pushed him back, pointed a stern finger at him saying, "Don’t touch me again! And when did you explain anything? You just left. On your own…… Breaking your promise."

  "Listen! Mey, I gave you the reason. I met you in the church and told you about why I had to leave. Don’t you remember?" Fu Shuang looked at her with a questioning gaze.

  "What the hell are you talking about? I didn’t see you at church at all." Xu Mey replied.

  "Weren’t you wearing a mask and you told me that you had a bad cold and you didn’t want to pass your germs to me?" Xu Mey scowled and shook her head vigorously. "Then who was under that mask?" While Xu Mey shrugged her shoulders indifferently, Jun Li Na patted Shuang’s shoulder.

  "Who do you think?"

  "F*ck!" Fu Shuang cursed at the realization. "I’m so going to kill her now." He turned to Xu Mey saying, "Where is she? Take me with you."

  "Don’t want to." Xu Mey replied curtly.

  "Stop acting stubborn and let’s go! You’d need help as well." Fu Shuang didn’t listen to Xu Mey’s protests and dragged her with himself. Jun Li Na also followed behind them.

  In Fu Shuang’s car, Xu Mey gave the address to Fu Shuang since Jun Li Na insisted.

  "I can’t believe that you actually thought, I’d ever leave without seeing you." Xu Mey disregarded Fu Shuang’s presence and dialed up Ye Jie’s number.

  When the call connected, she said, "Ah-Jie! Are you there?"

  Fu Shuang ended up pressing the breaks abruptly making the car halt with a jolt. Xu Mey glared at him but it wasn’t his fault that he had never heard Xu Mey talk so adorable and lovingly. It made him feel sour.

  "Not yet, I’m still on the road." Ye Jie answered. "Where are you, baby? Did you leave the party or are you still there?"

  "Ah-Jie’s baby left the party." Fu Shuang had the urge to puke blood with the amount of vinegar he had to drink at the moment. "But your baby is not going home for now."

  "Hmm…… Then where is baby going?" Ye Jie asked as he leaned in the leather seat where her scent still lingered. He really was missing her more than he thought he would.

  "Baby will tell you later when you come back."

  "Baby, are you planning to do something?"

  "Ah-Jie! I promised you that I won’t so, trust me. I really won’t do anything. At least not myself." Xu Mey spoke innocently.

  Ye Jie smiled at the other side and shook his head lightly. "Okay…… Do whatever you want. Just don’t get hurt."

  "I won’t. I assure you." Xu Mey answered solemnly. "Oh, and I’m not alone."

  "Hm…… Who’s with you?"

  "Jun Li Na and…… Master Shuang." Xu Mey said hesitatingly but she didn’t want to hide this from Ye Jie. If a misunderstanding arose in the future, she really didn’t have the courage to argue with Ye Jie. So, she decided to timely clear up everything.

  "Alright! Then enjoy your plots and don’t go home alone." Xu Mey smiled since Ye Jie didn’t say anything as she had expected from him. He really was too trusting.

  "Yes, boss! I’ve texted Qiao-Ge, he’ll be there. So, he’ll be dropping me home." Ye Jie hummed in response and Xu Mey saw out the window that they were almost at the hotel, so she said, "Ah-Jie, call me after getting there. I’ll talk to you later. Bye and take care. And oh, I miss you already."

  Ye Jie chuckled and said, "I miss you more, baby!"

  Xu Mey grinned from ear to ear as she disconnected the call. There was a strange silence in the car. Xu Mey looked at Fu Shuang to see him making a foul look while Jun Li Na was smiling like a lovestruck teenager.
