Xu Mey took a seat beside Dr. Zhu Chen and Ye Jie sat on her other side. He was intently looking at the sparkles in her eyes and that adorable pout.

"Let me bring your Steamed Buns," He Jian's mother spoke and headed to the kitchen.

"Oh, I just remembered," Xu Mey lightly tapped her forehead at her forgetful nature. "Uncle Chen, this is my husband, Ye Jie."

Ye Jie nodded with a smile to greet him- he wasn't really paying attention to other people except for Xu Mey- while Dr. Zhu Chen kept staring at his face. He nodded as well in a daze. Then he smiled warmly and said, "I've heard a lot about you young man. Now, I know why she can't stop talking about you."

Ye Jie looked at Xu Mey's flushed face and said with a surprise, "Really? She doesn't like talking to me though."

"Mean husband." Xu Mey grumbled. Ye Jie smiled at her while Xu Mey made a face at him. "Nevermind. Ah Jie, you know Jian-Ge already and that beside him is Uncle Kun. You've met him at our wedding." Xu Mey said while pointing at He Jian and He Kun. "As for Uncle Chen," She turned to Dr. Zhu Chen. "He's a doctor and also, he's Jian-Ge's uncle."

"Xiao Mey, aren't you late for office?" He Jian asked with suspicion.

Xu Mey turned her head away from him and replied, "Not that I want to tell you but I'm taking a break today."

Ye Jie frowned to hear her answer. He moved closer to her and whispered, "Are you really?" She nodded. "Let me inform Qi Guan that I'm not coming today." He was about to stand when Xu Mey held his hand.

"You don't have to take a day off for me."

He patted her hand on his own and said, "I want to spend time with my wife. Who's going to stop me? Even my wife herself can't stop me." Smiling, he excused himself for a minute.

Dr. Zhu Chen was looking at Ye Jie's back when Xu Mey's voice made him shift his glance to her. "Uncle Chen, when are you going to remove my stitches?"

"Let's do it after breakfast. But you'll still need to take some care."

"Okay... But don't say that in front of Ah Jie, he already didn't let me walk for the past 4 days. If you'll say I need more rest then I'm afraid, he'll tie me up to the bed." She sighed making everyone chuckle.

"Looks like this kid needs to be praised." He Jian's father said making Xu Mey scowl. "Lose the scowl now. Uncle is just worried about you. You know how much Uncle loves you and you still go around getting hurt for no reason."

"Well... I can lose the scowl if Uncle Kun will gift me his favorite gun." Xu Mey made her offer.

"I can give you the gun but Xiao Mey, you don't even know how to use it." He commented.

"Jian-Ge will teach me. Right?" She looked at He Jian while blinking eagerly.

He Jian closed his eyes briefly as if it was really getting difficult to look at her. He sighed in defeat and said, "Fine... I'll teach you." Xu Mey smiled in victory.

At this time, He Jian's mother and his aunt brought breakfast to the table. Xu Mey didn't look at anyone other than the basket of Steamed Buns shaped as cute birds. She was drooling.

Xu Mey's focus shifted to Dr. Alice when she heard her voice. "Chen, don't you dare touch anything other than Congee."

Dr. Zhu Chen's face turned sad as he looked at the imposing woman beside him. "Su darling, let me eat just one Steamed Bun. Please!"

"No means no. Now, just eat your Congee." She said sternly and her eyes caught Xu Mey's black orbs looking at her with curiosity. A crease appeared between her brows as she looked at Xu Mey.

Noticing her gaze, He Jian said, "Auntie Su, that's my best friend, Xu Mey."

Dr. Alice' eyes widened and she smiled widely as she stepped closer to Xu Mey. "So, you're the Xiao Mey who has charmed my husband."

"Huh?" Xu Mey frowned with confusion.

"From the time I came back, he can't seem to stop talking about you. If it's not charming him then what is?" She was asking Xu Mey who scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

"Su darling, don't intimidate my Xiao Mey. She's such a fine young lady." Dr. Zhu Chen spoke up for her making Xu Mey feel warm. "Xiao Mey, this is my wife, He Susu but people know her as Alice. So, you can call her Alice if you want." Xu Mey nodded.

This scene was encountered by Ye Jie when he turned after finishing up his call. He came closer and said, "Dr. Alice?"

Dr. Alice looked behind Xu Mey and saw Ye Jie's familiar face surprising her. "Oh my, Chen! Look! That's the young man I told you about. The one I met on the plane."

Dr. Zhu Chen gave another look to Ye Jie with a sadness in his eyes and replied, "I've met him, Su darling."

"You have?" She raised her brows.

He nodded and said, "He's Xiao Mey's husband."

"Ohhh!" Dr. Alice managed to say.

"It surely is a small world." Xu Mey commented, getting everyone's attention. When she felt all the gazes at herself, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I mean to say that when I met Uncle Chen, I didn't know that he was Jian-Ge's Uncle. And, Uncle Chen's wife met Ah Jie in the plane and now, they are seeing each other here. Isn't it a really small world?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. "I don't know about before but now I definitely believe that this... This is not just a coincidence. It surely is a game of fate. Either it's a cruel one or a pleasant one, only time can reveal.' Xu Mey thought to herself.

When the maid was about to serve the wanton and dumplings to Ye Jie's bowl, Xu Mey instantly reacted, "No, don't! Ah Jie don't like mushrooms."

Dr. Zhu Chen, his wife, and He Jian's mother all looked at Xu Mey with surprise. "Go and bring the bowl without mushrooms." He Jian's mother said to the maid.

"There is no worry, Auntie. I'll eat something else. It'll be a bother to you." Ye Jie said politely.

She shook her head. "It's nothing bothersome at all. My brother doesn't like mushrooms as well. So, I already made extra without mushrooms. Don't feel burdened about it."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Ye Jie replied.

The breakfast table had a weird atmosphere. Xu Mey was looking at her left and right side to see the similarities between Dr. Zhu Chen and Ye Jie; both had the same way of sitting, talking, and even eating. Xu Mey felt sweat forming on her forehead thinking about the possibilities. There were a lot of possibilities and there was no real answer. And Xu Mey hated it when she didn't hold the answers.

Meanwhile, Dr. Alice and Zhu Qinyang, He Jian's mother were also sneaking glances at Ye Jie. He Jian had seen the way everyone was acting and couldn't help but feel suspicious especially about the way Xu Mey was acting.
