Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Downstairs, Ye Jie served all the food in an orderly and clean fashion before using the common bathroom downstairs to take a shower himself. He wore comfy casual clothes for the night and replied to some important emails while waiting for Xu Mey.

Xu Mey saw him sitting with straightened back while his head was buried in his cell phone with a frown between his brows and his fingers were dancing on it. As he heard her light footstep, he looked up at her and smiled.

"Shall we?" He made a gesture towards the Home Theatre with his hand swapping his earlier frown with a coy look.

"We shall." She reciprocated with a mild look as if it wasn’t a huge deal at all.

Ye Jie placed his arm around her small waist as he led her to the corner most room which happened to be the Home Theatre.

The dark mahogany colored door had a wall art of Antique Bronze Metal Movie Reels on it. Last time, when Xu Mey was touring around the house, this wall art was enough to tell her that this was the Home Theatre room. She didn’t feel the need to walk inside after knowing it.

This time, however, when Ye Jie opened the door, she was surprised.

Black color dominated the room along with silver small lights. There was a huge flat screen tv mounted at the front wall with a double chaise placed before it. Behind the Double Chaise, silver metal wall art of ’Lights’, ’Camera’, ’Action’ decorated the black wall.

There was only one window in the room which had dark complete blackout curtains over it.

The ceiling was on a whole new level with the illusion of a dark night with small but bright stars illuminating it.

There was no need to say it out loud, Xu Mey was without a doubt profoundly in awe of it. Her eyes were giving away her heartfelt feelings and Ye Jie was pleased with himself seeing her reaction.

He led her to the silver colored Double Chaise seat which had side tables beside it with food all over them. Low deep bench seat cushions and plush pillows gave an ideal lounging experience.

Xu Mey’s finger touched the soft armrest feeling relaxed. Ye Jie pressed a few buttons taking a seat beside her. The flat screen tv turned on. Meanwhile, the lights dimmed even further only leaving a trail of purple lights in the back corners.

When the opening theme song of Black Butler played on the screen, Xu Mey had an urge to sing it along but Ye Jie’s presence made her feel self-conscience. So, she stayed quiet with her focus on the bowl of Chicken Stir-Fry in her hands.

Don’t know from where did Ye Jie pulled out a comfy blanket and covered her legs in a very thoughtful and gentlemanly manner making Xu Mey’s heart flutter. He looked at her under the dim lights and smiled faintly but dotingly making her fluttering heart jump into a frenzy.

She passed an awkward smile to him and moved her hand to tuck some stray strands behind her ear. But he stepped ahead of her. The moment his fingers grazed lightly against her cheek while tucking the loose strands, her face was flushed which she hoped was hidden from his keen eyes.

But Ye Jie had a pair of extra keen eyes with his exceptional thinking skills. He might not have seen her heated face tinted with red color but he deduced it from the way she was fidgeting awkwardly.

To get rid of her weird state of mind, Xu Mey cleared her throat saying, "Are you going to watch it without subtitles?" She was planning on asking this question earlier but his damn sweet gestures made her forget everything.

"Hm..." Was his reply as he kept his eyes on the screen while eating dim-sum.

"You know Japanese?" After this question when he quirked his brow in an amused fashion, she realized how idiotic it sounded. She had already done a detailed background check on him. And in the report in the bold letter was inscribed that he learned about 6 languages and Japanese was one of them. Then she thought of something else, "Okay, you can understand Japanese and I know it. But what gives you the idea that I can understand it as well?"

"Isn’t it obvious dear wife? You give the impression of someone who would learn Japanese just so you could watch your Sebastian without having to look down at the subtitles." He spoke in fluent Japanese making her eyes-wide-open hearing his reply which seemed like a taunt to her.

She decided to ignore his presence and focus on Ciel and Sebastian. They didn’t talk to each other during the episodes but it didn’t feel awkward. It was an exceptionally calm and harmonious atmosphere. It was so serene that Xu Mey felt sleepy.

She was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands repeatedly. When Ye Jie saw her state, he found her amazingly adorable. Finally, she couldn’t fight with her sleep and nodded off. Her head slipped down to Ye Jie’s shoulder and she moved around to find a comfortable position.

After finding the comfort in the crook of his neck with cinnamon scent wafting in her senses. She was in a deep slumber.

But unknowingly, her small actions turned into agony for Ye Jie. Her soft and warm breath on his neck was tickling making his poised posture turn into a crumbled upstate. He didn’t know whether to laugh at the fact that it was a ’Mission Accomplished’ or cry that she was only physically close to him.

He took a deep breath trying to calm his breathing and kissed her head full of shiny black hair. After gazing at her sleeping figure for a long time, he picked her up in his arms ’princess-style’ and brought her to their bedroom.

He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with the duvet. "Before learning to hold onto you, I need to learn to let go first." He whispered softly.

Today’s events made one thing very clear to him; Xu Mey was a surprise in his well-planned life which was turning into an important person without him realizing it.
