While back on Xu Mey’s side, she spent the day at the Vintage working on her pending work. It was normal for her to work on weekends. She stopped working on the weekends after her marriage with Ye Jie. Now that he wasn’t around, she decided to work like her usual self. When the phone didn’t ring at 4 o’clock, Xu Mey felt a strange tug at her heart. She tried to ignore it with her focus on her work and it worked to some level. She drove back to the Peach Estates quite late. It was already past 9…

"You could have simply replied with a yes." Ye Jie said in a mocking tone. "You can make me fly all the way from Country R to here in Tokyo and I’m not even allowed to reply in a roundabout way?" Ye Jie smiled pleasingly. "Your problem is not that you had to come to Tokyo. Your problem is with the plane ride." She passed him an ugly look. He ignored it while clicking his tongue. "Tsk... Tsk... Such a brave person is scared of plane rides." "Hei!" She bellowed in Korean while squinting her eye.…

Meanwhile, at the Tokyo airport, Ye Jie passed through all the security checks and came out through the VIP arrivals passage. A man clad in black with a stern look and an earpiece in his ear came up to him and bowed slightly to greet him. "Mr. Ye, please follow me." Ye Jie nodded and trailed behind him to his BMW parked up front. When the bulky stern looking man was focused on maneuvering the car through the rushed up roads, Ye Jie raised his eyes from the laptop and asked, "Where are we going?"…

"For how long are you going?" Xu Mey asked him while Ye Jie was going through some emails on his laptop. He took a deep breath. "About a week." He replied. Xu Mey lowered her head as she felt something odd. "But I’ll try to come early." He added which made Xu Mey’s odd feeling to dissipate a bit. "Mr. Ye, we’ve arrived." Qi Guan informed them from the front seat and disembarked to open the door for Ye Jie. "Take care of yourself then," Xu Mey said in a low voice. "Aren’t you coming out…

They arrived home in the evening. After freshening up, both of them pulled out some documents to look through but the difference was that both of them stayed in the living room instead of being cooped up in their individual study rooms. While Ye Jie was on the couch with his laptop in his lap and documents scattered around. Xu Mey was on the rug on the floor with all her designs laying around. "Hey, cherry wife?" Ye Jie suddenly thought of something again. It was like he had an inkling to talk to her…

"Hello, everyone!" The girl greeted them while tucking a loose strand behind her ear. As if on queue, Wu Wang’s assistant Suzy came beside him and reminded him, "Sir, you have a flight. I think we should leave now. You might miss your flight otherwise." Suzy was an experienced person in her mid-forties, she could read the tension clearly and she’s been with Wu Wang since his teenage years, which gave her an even deeper understanding of him. The girl Ye Jun brought was stunned to see Wu Wang…

After their touching banter, Ye Jie held Xu Mey’s hand intending to leave the park. But suddenly, Xu Mey’s eyes fell on something and she stopped walking making Ye Jie halt as well. He looked back at her questioningly but she wasn’t looking at him at all. She gave the limelight to soap bubbles. The way she opened her eyes wide to look at them with desire and the way her mouth was opening, closing and turning into a smile looked adorable to Ye Jie. At this moment, he really wanted to pull her…

Xu Mey left the restaurant to look for He Jian. After a bit of wandering around, she found him standing before the fountain. She slowly came behind him and placed her hand on his shoulder. He Jian turned his head to look at her. Seeing her concerned look, he tried to smile but his smile looked rather sad to Xu Mey. He placed his hand over Xu Mey’s hand on his shoulder saying, "She didn’t even give me the chance to give her the last rose." He said sotto voce. Xu Mey had no idea how to console him…

Memories are another name of expectations. And expectations are the name of disappointment. But disappointment is torturous. Therefore, one way to describe memories is torture. The good, the bad, or just a plain memory, all bring unbearable torture with it. But we often ignore the reality we are living in for the memories we hold dear of the past. And then one day, the same reality turns into another memory we hope to live again. The endless cycle doesn’t end. Because we don’t stop looking back…

Xu Mey noticed Ye Jie’s unusual gaze. He was staring at He Jian and Wu Wang as if both of them were the criminals. And he was the executioner. "Why are you giving odd looks to my Jian Ge and Wang Ge?" She couldn’t help herself and asked him. Ye Jie looked at her face. As if reading Ye Jie’s mind, Xu Mey burst out laughing. "You think that Jian Ge or Wang Ge are engaged to Yu Kim?" She asked in between her hearty laugh. "Am I wrong?" He inquired cautiously. "Of course you’re wrong, dear…
