The night before the wedding, Xu Mey's friends called her out for a bachelorette party. They didn't invite the outsiders, just the four friends were there. Lin Shen's fiance, Sun Ju also tagged along. And Wu Wang's sister Wu Xia who brought her husband Ming Qu managed to find her way in. This chain reaction ended up with Ming Qu calling Ye Jie and Ye Jie brought Ye Jun with him.

The illusion nightclub was only hosting these few special guests, tonight. The extravagant three-layered nightclub was closed for business just for the sake of celebrating a bachelor party.

When Xu Mey saw Ye Jie and Ye Jun entering the club, she was stunned. She didn't expect them to appear here in her friends' group.

Ye Jie was clad in a simple black attire but still, he was flamboyant. While Ye Jun was dressed up for a party with his peculiar fashion sense.

Li Qiao was hugging Xu Mey when Ye Jie saw her and it made a surge of anger boil up inside him. Ye Jun held his clenched fists in his hands to ease him up.

As they say, even when there is no love, no one likes to share what belongs to them.

She went to greet both of them and dragged them towards her friends. "Boys, this is my future husband Ye Jie and this is his brother, Ye Jun." She introduced both of them as they said 'Hi!' in a stiff manner. "And these are the love of life. They are stupid, shameless and a hell lot of crazy but I still love them a lot." Xu Mey didn't see the way Ye Jie stiffened at her affection towards them but the four boys had sharp eyes. They seemed amused by seeing his possessive bearing.

"Mey baby, let's have a drinking competition." Li Qiao suggested.

"No, let's dance guys." Wu Wang offered.

"Our baby girl is getting married and you want to dance over that fact. Aren't you a bit sad?" Lin Shen made a wiping fake-tears gesture.

"You'll be missed, Mey," He Jian also mimicked Lin Shen's actions with adding his own touch by blowing a nose as well.

Xu Mey rolled her eyes at her idiot friends and pinched all of them one by one making them wince in pain. They all glared at her. "I'm getting married. Not Dying that you guys are acting like this."

"Hahaha!" They all laughed heartily looking at the scowl on her face. "We know our little pumpkin but we just can't believe our little baby has grown so much that she's getting married." Everyone nodded in agreement with Lin Shen's words.

"What? Do you guys want me to cry now?"

"Who dares to make you cry?" Li Qiao started.

"We'll break his legs." Wu Wang followed behind.

"Then we'll cut him into tiny-tiny pieces." Lin Shen was not far behind. The doctor was acting like a butcher.

"Finally, we'll make his broth." He Jian said.

"And serve it to you on a silver platter." Four of them said simultaneously making her laugh out loud. All of them buried her in their bear hug.

The way they treated Xu Mey, it made Ye Jie realize what she actually was for them. She was not just a friend or a lover, she was beyond that. They had a relation which Ye Jie couldn't challenge even if he wanted to. And he understood why she only laughed from her heart around them; they made her feel loved and a part of them.

After their banter and hugs, they took everyone to the dance floor. The only person who was not familiar with Xu Mey was Ming Qu but he was also happy for his best friend. Ming Qu never really liked Lu Yuhan for his best friend. He always said that she was not the person for him.

Ye Jie pulled Xu Mey towards himself and placed one hand on her waist while intertwining the other with hers. Her other hand was on his shoulder. They swayed their bodies to sound of music as Ye Jie pulled Xu Mey even closer to himself leaving no space for even air to pass. "Your friends are very close to you," He said in his husky voice near her ear making it tingle.

"'Love the house and its crow. (Love me, love my dog)' So, you have to bear with them." Her breathing was harsh as she licked her lips repeatedly. Ye Jie's eyes followed the way her lips licked making a cold shiver run up her spine.

"I have one for you as well, 'Radishes and greens, each has those who love them. (One man's meat is another man's poison)'" With that, he let go of her body. Xu Mey felt cold without his body warmth. She walked to the bar and drank a shot before gaining her senses.

"What do you guys think about him?" Wu Wang and others had their gazes fixed on Ye Jie from the moment he walked in. They saw the way he looked at her, talked to her and even the way he held her.

"He will either be the poison that could cure the poison in her." Lin Shen started staring at the dance floor.

"Or he will be the poison that kills her." Li Qiao finished his thought as he took a swig of his drink.

"Whichever it'll be, we'll be here to stand by her side." He Jian added his thought while gazing dotingly at Xu Mey who was conversing with Wu Xia.

Ye Jun was trying to remember the girl beside Lin Shen from the minute he saw her. He had a feeling that she looked familiar. He searched through his phone and finally found it. And in his enthusiasm, he bellowed, "Aha! Found it."

Everyone passed him a weird look which made him want to shrink to the size of unnoticeable dust. "What did you find, Jun?" Xu Mey asked as she placed her hand over his shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, I was trying to figure out where have I seen her," He pointed at Sun Ju making her raise her brows. "Now, I figured it out. She's the famous designer that goes by the name of Phantom."

"Oh, that's it," Xu Mey patted his shoulder as she said, "Took you long enough." Ye Jun felt he had made a fool of himself in front of everyone, so he sat down silently on his seat.

Ye Jie walked up to them and asked, "She's the one who designed the wedding dresses of ours?" He wasn't really asking but Xu Mey and Sun Ju nodded in reply.

"Ju-Ju asked about the wedding dresses and I told her that my mother-in-law is taking care of it. So, she did that fiasco but I really didn't know it until your mother mentioned the part of iced coffee ruining the dress." Xu Mey explained in a plain unhurried gentle way.

"How exactly did you link coffee with her? Anybody could do that," His suspicion was realistic. Dropping a coffee is a common thing. It happens all the time. But all the friends shared a meaningful look and eventually burst into laughing.
