Before Ye Jie could act upon his desires, the car stopped. Ye Jie groaned but didn't say anything. He reluctantly let go of Xu Mey. She tried to take care of her messed up state.

Like a gentleman, Ye Jie walked out of the car and came around to open the door for Xu Mey. He stretched his hand for her and she smiled sweetly taking his hand.

Fu Shuang's birthday celebration was held at the Fu Manor's back garden. With her hand on her arm, she walked elegantly down the cobblestone path which was lined with decorative banners and lanterns.

As the gazes of the crowd at the party fell on the pair of a strikingly beautiful couple a wave of gasps escaped. While the young lady looked elegant, gorgeous, and poised, her partner was on another level of exquisiteness. He had a gentle look in his eyes as he gazed at Xu Mey's face with a smile playing on his lips.

When the gasps intensified in the crowd, Fu Shuang noticed the presence of Xu Mey. He went blank for a moment as he stared at her from a distance. She always looked beautiful but today, the smile on her face seemed to be real without any hidden agenda.

But as Fu Shuang noticed Ye Jie, a sadness took hold of his heart overwhelming him. He looked at the only dream he ever wished for, Xu Mey and told himself how she was a dream that could never be his ever. Even knowing all this, he still couldn't stop himself from loving her or yearning for her.

He told himself repeatedly that she was better off without him but whenever he was closer to appeasing his heart, she would appear before his eyes looking so gorgeous that his heart would again go into disarray.

Xu Mey came closer to Fu Shuang and passed a small gift box to him saying, "Wishing Master Shuang blessings from both me and my husband." She smiled brightly at Ye Jie and went on, "I forgot to introduce, Master Shuang meet my husband, Mr. Ye Jie."

Fu Shuang only smiled sadly and stretched his hand out to shake Ye Jie's. "I didn't expect President Xu to actually become a part of this celebration." Fu Shuang remarked.

"Then why did you send the invitation?" Xu Mey raised her brows inquiringly.

Fu Shuang smiled again saying, "I was actually trying my luck. Who would have known I'll be so lucky tonight that President Xu would grace my humble home with her presence." Xu Mey couldn't tell whether he was taunting or not but Ye Jie knew that Fu Shuang was sincere.

"It's really nice to meet you, Mr. Ye Jie." Fu Shuang turned to Ye Jie. "It's an honor meeting you."

"And why is that?" Ye Jie somehow had a clue about his reply but he still had to ask the question.

"The person who managed to make President Xu a wife must be an amazing person. That's why it's really an honor for me." Fu Shuang exactly said what Ye Jie thought he would.

When Fu Shuang turned away to greet some other guests, Xu Mey languidly looked at the surroundings trying to find her prey of the night; Xu Liqing. But to her dismay, she could find neither Xu Liqing nor Fu Lan.

Ye Jie received a call and he excused himself and walked a bit away. Although his voice was quite low, Xu Mey could hear the conversation.

"I told you that I'm busy." Ye Jie spoke into the phone. After listening to the reply, he said, "I don't care about that deal. I need to be here right now. Stop disturbing me."

When Ye Jie came back to her side, Xu Mey narrowed her eyes at him and in return he smiled at her and stretched his hand asking her for a dance.

Xu Mey gave her hand into his and walked to the dance floor. In the middle of the dance floor, both their bodies swayed with the sound of the slow song playing in the background.

"Do you have to be somewhere?" Xu Mey asked looking into his brown eyes.

"Nope!" Ye Jie replied.

"Liar! I heard the phone call."

"It's really nothing, baby. I need to be here with you and that's more important." Ye Jie replied sincerely.

"But I don't want you to disregard your work for me." Before Ye Jie could argue, she added, "More importantly, if you won't earn money what'll happen to our future."

"What do you mean, baby?" Ye Jie asked curiously.

"Well, you surely won't want to see your wife and kids on the roadside just because you didn't want to leave your wife." She spoke righteously and bluntly as always without thinking her words over.

Ye Jie choked at the mention of kids and said, "Baby, for now, you're my only baby. So, where did these kids come from?"

Xu Mey pursed her lips as she realized what had she just spoken. But she had already said it so she could only go with the flow now. "Well, yeah! Just because we are two at the moment doesn't mean we won't be three in the future."

Ye Jie pulled her body closer to himself and whispered, "Three? I was planning on having a dozen or so babies running around us."

Xu Mey gasped at his words and punched his chest lightly. "I don't want that much."

"Then how much do you want?" Ye Jie asked seriously.

"Erm..." Xu Mey pondered for a while before raising two fingers and saying, "I think two will be okay. One girl like you and one boy like me."

Ye Jie frowned at her reply and asked, "Isn't it usually boys like their father and girls like their mothers?"

"No, no..." Xu Mey shook her head and said, "I don't want anything cliche. Baby definitely wants a son like herself and a daughter like baby's Ah-Jie."

Ye Jie couldn't help but laugh at her stubbornness and how she called herself, Ah-Jie's baby. He lowered his head again and whispered, "Then shall we go and work out to make a son like Ah-Jie's baby?"
