YM778.TV Chapter 393 - Me Too
With her hands on her hips, Xu Mey stood at Jie’s side and glared at the woman angrily with hatred visible on her face. Noticing Xu Mey’s presence, Jie smiled at her and asked, "Baby, what are you doing here? I was just about to come. Oh, meet..."
His words were cut off when Xu Mey raised her hand to stop him from saying another word. Jie gulped to see the dangerous look in her eyes and stayed quiet.
"You stay quiet..." Xu Mey’s voice was dangerously and maliciously low. Then she turned to the woman and said, "And you! How dare you hit on my husband?" Jie’s eyes widened in shock as he heard her insinuation and looked at the woman while he mouthed a ’sorry’ to her.
Meanwhile, the woman was unruffled as she stood up and faced Xu Mey saying, "Why can’t I? He seems like good boyfriend material."
Xu Mey held her wrist in a tight grip making her pretty face to distort in pain. "He’s a good boyfriend material but he’s only my good material. And he’ll stay like that even if he doesn’t want to."
Trying to ignore the pain in her wrist, the woman spoke again, "You’re willing to force your love on him?"
"Yes, I am!" replied Xu Mey while letting her wrist free. "He’s my husband and there is nothing wrong with the fact that I love him very much."
Before the woman could say anything, a manly arm wrapped around her shoulder and Xu Mey heard a familiar voice, "Sorry, Roulan. The call took longer than I thought it’d." Xu Mey looked at the familiar face of her new collaboration partner, Mr. Qi and had a weird look on her face. "Oh, Mrs. Zhu is here. Rourou, did you offer Mr. and Mrs. drinks?"
The woman named Roulan smiled mysteriously as she looked at Xu Mey and said, "I offered the drink to Mr. Zhu but Mrs. Zhu didn’t like my gesture."
Xu Mey closed her eyes at the realization that she had misunderstood the whole situation. Argh! Why was she turned into an idiot when it came to Jie? She wasn’t in her impulsive lovestruck twenties anymore. For goodness sake, she was in her responsible thirties now!
But her responsible self was thrown out the window whenever Jie was involved.
"Mr. Qi, this is your..." Xu Mey voiced out looking at Roulan inquisitively.
"She’s my fiancee. We are getting married next month. Didn’t I tell you?" Mr. Qi looked really happy talking about his marriage with the love of his life and it made Xu Mey feel guilty even more. "I’m sorry for keeping your husband for so long. It’s my fault that I was curious about a lot of things. Hope Mrs. Zhu won’t mind."
Xu Mey turned her head to look at Jie’s amused look and scowled. "No, I don’t mind." Then she looked at Roulan and said, "I’m sorry for earlier... It was a misunderstanding."
Mr. Qi gave a confused look and Roulan shook her head to not let him worry.
Roulan laughed out happily as she pulled Xu Mey to aside and said, "I don’t mind. I can understand your feelings but I’m curious about something. Why did you assume that I was hitting on your husband? It could be the other way around."
Xu Mey shook her head saying, "My Ah-Jie can only talk big. He can never flirt with anyone besides me."
"Is that your love for him talking?" She asked.
"No. It’s my trust in our love talking. Besides, I can imagine myself wavering in this love, not him. I often forget to tell him that I love him, but he never does. If not with words, his eyes are enough to remind me that he is the one who loves me with all his heart."
Roulan smiled at her said and rubbed her sore wrist as she said, "I’ll remember your words. Hope it’ll help with my married life. Oddly, he said the same things about you." Xu Mey surprised to hear her words.
As both Xu Mey and Jie walked back to their table, Jie said, "I didn’t know you’re this insecure. So much for having faith in our love."
Xu Mey pointed at him and said, "You don’t even dare talk. How can you stay quiet there? You could have stopped me! I embarrassed myself."
"I tried introducing but you told me not to talk," replied Jie innocently.
As they came to their separate dining area, Jie hugged her shoulders from behind and said, "Did you really think I’ll hit on someone?"
"No. But I can’t keep an eye on all those girls. I trust you but how should I trust that those girls won’t hit on you?"
Jie kissed the side of her neck and said, "My silly baby, I love you. I adore your crazy, gorgeous, wonderful but slightly weird self. Or a whole package of your weird self. Because you’re lovely to me in any way. My perfect life partner, and my kids’ perfect mother!"
Xu Mey smiled at his words and said, "But you’re still a man. What if you really wavered before those young girls. After all, I’m getting old now."
Jie bit her ear making her yelp as he said, "I’d still love my wrinkly wife."
Xu Mey gasped at his response and hit his arms. "How can you point out your wife’s wrinkles so easily? Besides, I don’t have that many." She spoke touching her face cautiously.
"Because I am your husband who is supposed to love you in any way. Besides, do you know why we are still a power couple after so many years?"
"How?"
"Because your Ah-Jie has a habit... Whenever I see you, I fall in love with you all over again. It seems like every day is new day for our love. So, if our love is not getting old, how can we?"
Xu Mey leaned back in his embrace and said, "Me too."
"That I know," he replied and received another hit on his arm from her.
