Just like Xu Liqing came 3 hours late for the meeting, Xu Mey made her wait for precisely 3 hours. How Xu Liqing managed to keep the seething volcano buried inside was a mystery but it sure was remarkable. The remarkable fact was that the girl who never liked to wait even for 5 minutes was made to have the patience for 3 hours.
’You have to see this President Xu today, Liqing. Calm down. There is no rush at all. This is the only chance to see the face of the bit*h who has been getting in your way. We will have our day for revenge. But today is not that day.’ Xu Liqing had to keep chanting these words in her mind like a mantra to hold on to the last shreds of rationality in her. With clenched teeth, she was taking deep breaths.
Her barrier of tolerance was at its limits but no one came to get her. She went up to the receptionist again and through gritted teeth said, "When will this meeting end?"
The receptionist yawned lazily like an idiot was standing before her but it wasn’t the least bit amusing to her. "Ms. Xu," She smiled or forced it. "I’m a mere receptionist. Who am I supposed to know how the higher management meetings work?" ’What are you tired? That soon?’ The receptionist kept the last words to herself.
Xu Liqing patted her chest. "Then you can call to check. Can’t you?"
"Well, it’s not like I can’t... rather I don’t want to," she muttered the last words and Xu Liqing couldn’t hear it.
"What did you say?" Xu Liqing eyed her suspiciously.
The receptionist rolled her eyes at Xu Liqing inwardly. She fixed her glasses and said, "I’ll call to check." ’If you’re so eager to face your doom then what can I do? I’ll gladly serve you to my devil President. Haha’ She really was having a fun time with her thoughts.
She made a call to Qin Hao and he went to ask Xu Mey. "President, Ms. Xu is getting impatient."
Xu Mey smiled rather menacingly while rubbing her hands together. "Okay, it’s time to bring her up then." Qin Hao nodded and left the room.
He sent Xu Mey’s female secretary to bring Xu Liqing up while he stayed away from her as per Xu Mey’s instructions. Although Xu Mey was sure that Xu Liqing would not be able to remember Qin Hao for this long; she didn’t like taking unnecessary risks.
When Qin Hao left, Xu Mey picked up her cell phone and dialed a number and almost instantly a deep voice was heard, "Am I seeing things or my baby really called me herself today?"
Xu Mey was smiling but she used a sad tone to say, "Huh! It’s 04:01 pm and my Ah Jie didn’t bother to call me like usual. So, I decided to take the initiative myself."
Ye Jun shook his head at Xu Mey’s antics. He had the urge to give her a big round of applause. And that too in slow motion. It would be epic that way.
"Oho! What have I done? This is a huge mistake on your Ah Jie’s part, isn’t it?" The senior management people around Ye Jie almost toppled down to the ground when he said ’your Ah Jie’ and that too with so many feels.
"Huh! So, you do know that you did a huge mistake?" said Xu Mey.
"Of course, I do, baby. And you can punish me however you like." Said Ye Jie with his lips curled upward. Although he seemed to be placating or more like coaxing someone his employees all had the idea that he was really enjoying it. And they were right. Ye Jie surely was amused trying to coax her.
"Okay! Erm..." Xu Mey pretended to think of punishment and replied, "I know! I have a punishment in mind.’
"Really? What is it, baby?" Asked Ye Jie curiously.
"I want you to give me all your good luck."
"Huh?"
"Aiyo! Ah Jie, I mean I have to act like a white Lotus Flower today and for that, I need you to wish me luck." When Xu Mey explained it like this, Ye Jun spurted out the tea in his mouth and coughed profusely.
He literally had a face that said, ’What the hell are you doing? What Lotus Flower? Can you really act like one?’ Xu Mey threw a cold dagger-like glare towards Ye Jun and he instinctively straightened up.
Ye Jie chuckled heartily. He surely was very happy. "Does my baby need my good luck? My baby is my good luck charm, how can I wish good luck to my own lucky charm?"
Xu Mey opened her mouth wide at his words and held her chest with one hand as if Ye Jie had thrown an arrow and it hit the mark, perfectly. "That’s not fair." She grumbled while puffing up her cheeks.
"Stop puffing up your cheeks or I might want to come to you right now." Xu Mey immediately stopped puffing her cheeks.
’You know me so well. That’s also not fair.’ Xu Mey lamented inwardly.
"Ah Jie, stop making me speechless. Just wish me luck, okay? Let’s just presume that the way you think I’m your lucky charm, I also believe that you are mine." It was Ye Jie’s turn to be stunned.
While Ye Jun thought, ’Are you both playing the lucky charm couple game or something? Why are you both so ruthless with my single heart.’ He surely was aggrieved.
"Best of luck, baby!" Ye Jie said in a daze.
"Thank you! I’ll see you soon. Bye for now!" She hung up the call and looked at Ye Jun who was dramatically bowing to her. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"I finally know what really happened to my brother." Ye Jun shook his head.
Xu Mey frowned and asked, "What happened to Ah Jie?"
Ye Jun pointed at her and said, "You! You happened to my brother. You made my innocent brother turn into a romantic lunatic."
"Oh shut up! Just follow me!" Ye Jun raised his brows in question. "Aren’t you gonna watch the live show?" Ye Jun nodded while smiling and followed Xu Mey out of her office.
