"Baby, have you been avoiding me?" Ye Jie whispered to Xu Mey when she came sauntering to his side.

  "How can I do that Ah-Jie?" Xu Mey gasped at the accusation. "I didn’t want to come between you and your family. So, I decided to keep a bit of distance."

  "And why does my baby always forget that she’s also my family?" Xu Mey was tongue tied at those words. She had the urge to facepalm herself. She really kept forgetting that she was his family as well!

  "Okay…… Forget it!" Xu Mey tried to wave off the topic. "You know earlier your mom said that she’d have been more than happy if we came in the package of buy one and get two free." Ye Jie raised his brows at her in surprise. "Crap!" Xu Mey just realized what she had spoken so damn bluntly. "It sounded decent in my mind but now, I feel like I should have kept my mouth shut."

  Seeing her adorable reaction, Ye Jie chuckled and pinched her cute little nose, saying, "Baby, we can go inside to try for that third member." Xu Mey’s mouth opened wide. "After all, it’s not a good thing to make our parents unhappy." The way his hand was rubbing against her waist made Xu Mey feel hot all over her body.

  "Do you want to make them happy or yourself, Ah-Jie?" Xu Mey managed to ask trying to calm her breathing.

  Ye Jie moved closer to her face and his hot breath tingled her ear as he said, "I certainly want to make my baby happy." Before shifting away, he even left a soft kiss right below her ear making Xu Mey bit down her bottom lip trying to control her own body which wasn’t acting on her wishes.

  "Are you okay, Xiao Mey?" Their moment was broken when they heard Zhu Qinyang’s concerned voice.

  "Huh?" It took a moment for Xu Mey to get over the feelings that Ye Jie’s hands were brewing inside her. She gulped and tried again, "Yeah! Nothing’s wrong at all."

  "Why are you so red? Are you sure that you’re okay?" Zhu Qinyang inquired again with emphasis this time. Xu Mey nodded her head vigorously since she had a feeling that if she opened her mouth, she’d only spout nonsense again.

  She slapped Ye Jie’s hand away saying, "You keep a distance. Ugh! I lose my senses around you." Ye Jie chuckled making Xu Mey scowl.

  "Baby, you’ve already lost your heart to me much less, your senses," Xu Mey gaped at him in disbelief. She whipped her body and decided to walk away. It was better to keep the distance at a public place. She didn’t want to be embarrassed before others.

  ’Shameless husband! Shameless!’ Xu Mey was shaking her head when she bumped into her father.

  "Watch where you’re going. You’ll get hurt." Xu Cheng reminded her making Xu Mey smile at him sheepishly.

  "Sorry, dad! I had something running in my mind." Xu Mey answered vaguely.

  "Do you want to talk about it?" Xu Cheng asked looking into her eyes.

  Xu Mey pondered for a moment before taking her father to sit at the nearby table. She turned to him and asked, "Dad, how is it possible for someone to lose their senses when they are around a special someone?"

  Xu Cheng chuckled softly. "Because my dearest daughter, you can either keep your senses or that special someone."

  "Huh? What do you mean?" Xu Mey asked curiously.

  Xu Cheng patted her head affectionately and said, "You know that we have five senses, right?" Xu Mey nodded her head not knowing where this conversation was headed. "Now, there is another one. The sixth sense."

  "I know, it’s that intuition one." Xu Mey interrupted him.

  Xu Cheng shook his head and continued, "The sixth sense is love. And love has the ability to eat all the other five senses. That’s why I said, you can either be smart or you can be in love."

  Xu Mey was dumbfounded. That’s the first time listening to such logic. But oddly, it didn’t feel wrong at all. Whenever it comes to Ye Jie, she always loses her smartness. And it seems like all her senses run away to have a feast. ’So, this is all love’s fault…… Hmm…… This is dangerous.’ Xu Mey nodded to herself and Xu Cheng patted on her hand.

  "Dad, I want to be smartly in love." Xu Mey spoke feeling happy about her thinking and took his hand in his own feeling safe. Senses didn’t matter anymore.

  Xu Cheng again shook his head at his naive daughter. ’Love isn’t an exam paper that one can do brilliantly and smartly.’ But he didn’t want to say that to his daughter.

  Suddenly, she heard some commotion and turned to look towards the entrance. Due to all the people gathering around in a circle, she couldn’t see clearly but she got the idea that someone had come to join the party.

  "Xiao Qian!" She heard Li Qiao’s mother’s voice calling out to someone. She could even hear the happiness in her voice. "Why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming?" The name seemed familiar to Xu Mey but she couldn’t decide where had she heard it.

  "Because I wanted to surprise you," the other lady spoke elegantly making Xu Mey crane her neck in an attempt to look but she suddenly realized that her father’s hand in her own was trembling. It had turned cold instantly.

  Xu Mey looked at her father and was shocked to see his face blanched as if he was gonna pass out any minute. ’What happened? Dad was fine just now!’ She had a lot of questions in her mind but seeing Xu Cheng’s condition, she had no courage to ask.

  "Where is my nephew? He didn’t come with you?" The question was asked by Li Man again.

  "Well, you know him. My son has a habit of running off on his own." The answer was again in that soft elegant voice but Xu Mey felt that her father’s grip on her hand had tightened.

  "Dad, is everything alright?" Xu Mey asked anxiously. She really felt scared seeing Xu Cheng’s condition.

  Xu Cheng breathed harshly and tried to smile at Xu Mey to reassure her but it didn’t work. "Where are you uncomfortable? I should call uncle Chen, he’s a doctor." Xu Mey was about to turn when Xu Cheng held her again and shook his head.

  "If you really want to help dad, please, take me home!" The way Xu Cheng’s voice was weak and his manner of imploring made Xu Mey feel hurt.

  "Okay, let’s go!" She felt so scared that she immediately helped him out of the He family house without informing anyone.
