Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Xu Mey didn’t get a chance to pay attention to Xin Qian since He Jian’s mother, Zhu Qinyang called her. "Xiao Mey, take a seat beside your husband and eat your breakfast. You’ve been serving everyone for a while now. And your husband hasn’t even touched his food since you’re not by his side."

At Zhu Qinyang’s comment, everyone noticed that indeed, Ye Jie’s food was still untouched. At their meaningful gazes, Ye Jie was completely unabashed while Xu Mey turned crimson. She glared at Ye Jie who was grinning like a fool.

"Auntie, if I’ll eat alone then wouldn’t that be unfair to my wife who had been helping you in the kitchen since dawn?" Ye Jie’s words made Zhu Qinyang nod her head in agreement.

"Sigh... Learn something from the young generation, Kun!" He Jian’s father who had been eating his breakfast silently was left dumbfounded at being dragged into this conversation. Was it his fault that this young couple was always distributing candies for diabetic patients like him?

Xin Qian ate the breakfast with a warm feeling as she watched this whole family laughing, and teasing each other. She occasionally said a few words to He Susu but mostly she ate in silence.

"Let me help you in cleaning up," Xin Qian offered to help when everyone was done with their breakfast.

"There is no need for that." He Susu politely declined her offer.

"Su, where is the restroom?" Xin Qian asked He Susu and the latter pointed her in the direction.

When she left for the restroom, Xu Mey slapped the back of Ye Jie’s head and said, "Ah-Jie, can’t you see that Aunt Su is working? Get up and help me clean the table." Taking the order from his wife, Ye Jie sprinted to his feet.

"Aiyoh! Xiao Mey, let my son rest. I’m not that old yet." Disregarding He Susu’s words, Ye Jie took the dishes from her hand. Inwardly, she was sighing, ’When will this girl call me a mother. She has no problem in calling Chen as a father.’

"You might not be old, Aunt Su but he definitely is young. He should move around a bit." Xu Mey was adamant on her decision.

Before He Susu could argue, Ye Jie interrupted her, "Mom, my baby is always right. If I can do this much at home for my wife. I should also do this much here for my mother as well." He Susu couldn’t find words to describe how happy she felt at this gesture. Especially, when she noticed how Xu Mey and Ye Jie managed to work in perfect coordination.

Coming out of the restroom, He Susu took Xin Qian to the sitting area and sat down with her. The rest of the family members all got to their own work. He Jian and his father left for work while Zhu Qinyang had to leave for an urgent meeting with the Mayor.

"Now, tell me why did you come to see me so early in the morning?" He Susu asked Xin Qian, giving her full attention.

"You really are a psychologist." Xin Qian commented with a faint smile.

"Since you know you can’t hide anything from me as your psychologist then tell me what’s bothering you?" He Susu didn’t dawdle any longer.

Xin Qian pressed her lips together not knowing how to continue. She often had counseling sessions with He Susu but today, she just couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

He Susu could see Xin Qian’s hesitation. "It’s okay... You can take your time," she reassured Xin Qian.

After several deep breaths, Xin Qian finally spoke up, "I met my ex-husband last night."

"Oh..." He Susu straightened up since she just realized what must have been weighing down on Xin Qian. "Did he say something?"

"No..." Xin Qian shook her head and sniggered, "He walked right past me."

He Susu observed even the slightest change in her expressions and her lips curled up in a sad smile. "What’s really bothering you? The fact that he came before you or the fact that he treated you like a stranger?"

Xin Qian kept her eyes down as she thought about He Susu’s suggestion. What was really bothering her? Was she upset that he didn’t even look at her after all these years? Yes! She was! But she wasn’t going to accept it before anyone. Therefore she said, "I asked him to let me see my daughter. He straight up refused me as if I left my baby girl on my own accord."

"Can I answer that question as a friend instead of your psychologist?" Xin Qian frowned a bit but nodded and He Susu continued, "To be honest, I think you really left your daughter on your own accord. You could have fought the custody battle in court but instead, you left with your son."

"If I would have gone to the court, I would have lost Xiamu as well. The court would have never allowed me to keep my children with my mental state at that time." Xin Qian tried to clear her conscious.

Seeing her getting frustrated, He Susu didn’t press the matter and said, "Anyways, if you really want to meet your daughter, there are other ways to do so."

Xin Qian was thinking about He Susu’s suggestion when her train of thought was broken by a ringtone. She tried to find her phone when she heard He Susu’s voice, "It’s not your cellphone." That’s when Xin Qian noticed a black colored cellphone placed on the coffee table. She was about to shift her gaze when her eyes caught sight of the photo that was displayed along with the caller id.

’Xu Cheng?’ Her brows furrowed in confusion. On the 6.2’’ screen was a photo of Xu Cheng with Xu Mey.

"Xiao Mey, your dad is calling!" Hearing He Susu’s voice, Xin Qian was stumped.

’Xu Mey? Xu Cheng? Dad?’ She lifted her eyes to see Xu Mey walking up to their side and thought, ’She’s my daughter?’
