YM778.TV Chapter 113 - Im Being A Gentleman
It was a triplex apartment. When Xu Mey entered the apartment still in Ye Jie’s arms. She squirmed a little to indicate her discomfort. Ye Jie reluctantly put her down on the floor. The hardwood floor at the entrance was unblemished and it was sleek making it appear like a glassy floor.
But the hardwood floor was not the most eye-catching feature. Walking through the entrance, when they reached the living room. Xu Mey was stunned for a second.
There was a top-down view of the living room from the third floor of the apartment. Taking the inspiration from the beautiful sky outside the glass walls, a neutral ivory base palette with different shades of blue and lavender was mixed together in the interior. It had four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.
The entire apartment had a minimalistic interior with a combination of modern and antiquity. Even though Xu Mey couldn’t find much furniture in the apartment, it still didn’t give a cold feeling. It was rather cozy.
The bedroom Ye Jie brought her to gave off an intimate feel with the white sheer canopy, it was reminiscent of a fancy hotel room giving off elegance and dreaminess.
The wall behind the bed and at one side was of glass with sheer curtains draped over them. Xu Mey could see the beautiful view of bustling city lights from the wall behind the bed and from the other wall, she could see the beautiful dark sky with hazy stars.
Xu Mey was savoring this beautiful scenery when she felt Ye Jie coming closer to him. "Do you like it here?" He asked close to her ear making her shiver.
"Yes... It’s beautiful. I like the fact that it’s designed with the concept of simple but elegant. Who’s the owner?" Xu Mey gave her opinion and asked.
"Hmm... Do you remember Ru? I told you a bit about her. This is her apartment." Ye Jie replied. "But I’m the one who designed it. If it was left to her then the whole apartment must have looked like her bedroom." His tone was a bit spleen.
"What’s her bedroom like?" Xu Mey got curious because of his reaction. Ye Jie didn’t say it in words and silently brought her to the third floor of the apartment and opened a dark mahogany door.
Xu Mey noticed that while the first 2 floors had a light theme, this third floor gave off a rather dark feeling. When Ye Jie pushed open the door, Xu Mey’s eyes stuck at the wall ahead of her; half of the wall was covered with a wall-mounted waterfall. But it was designed in a peculiar way; on both sides, antique ceramic cups were placed meticulously with water droplets fallings in them at some interval. When the water drops fell in those cups, they produced a musical tune, pleasing to hear. And the waterfall sound added another enchanting effect to it.
Xu Mey pulled her eyes away from that wall with much effort and looked around in the spacious bedroom. She noticed a few Bonsai Double Shaded Maple Tree pots, Bonsai Rainbow Azalea pots, and some Red Azalea pots. They added a different kind of charm to the room as they were scattered around in the huge room.
At first, Xu Mey was frowning at the fact that Ye Jie called this room odd. It was clearly a beautifully designed room. But then she caught a particular detail. "Why is there no furniture? Not even a bed?" She asked Ye Jie.
There was indeed no piece of furniture in the room. Although it was designed beautifully, it was a bedroom without a bed in it. Ye Jie smiled bitterly. "First, my best friend seems to be at odds with sleep." Xu Mey was surprised that his friend was insomniac but it still didn’t give enough reason for not having a bed. "Second, she never needed a bed to sleep on." Xu Mey frowned unconsciously. "She was mostly away from her family. That left her with a habit of sleeping anywhere. This hardwood floor is the most comfortable spot for her."
Xu Mey wanted to ask further but decided against it. They came back to their bedroom and Xu Mey took off her blazer. She was getting ready to sleep since it was already past 3 in the morning when she heard Ye Jie’s voice, "Don’t think I’ll easily forget that you didn’t inform me about you getting hurt. I hold grudges."
Xu Mey turned to look at him as he was unfastening his buttons. Xu Mey’s eyes followed his hands’ movements. ’Then I just have to pull that grudge out.’ Xu Mey said to herself inwardly as an evil smirk spread on her face.
She took a deep breath and paced up to him. Ye Jie’s hands stopped as his eyes fell on her feet. He raised his head and before he could say anything, Xu Mey grabbed his shirt’s collar and pulled him towards herself. Just like he gave her a punishment kiss for hiding things from him, she pulled him to punish him for holding a grudge even when she said sorry.
In reality, the kiss was not a punishment for holding a grudge rather it was for all those new feelings he invoked in her. The butterflies she never felt, the care she never felt before, and the feeling of healing that she never had before. She hated him but also loved him for all those feelings. Because he was putting the pieces back together which life broke inside her.
She also kissed him because he was her husband. Her HUSBAND! Her Jie!
The moment she accepted him as her own, her heart felt at ease for an unknown reason. Maybe because her heart was tired of her running away from this truth and now that she accepted it, her heart was unburdened.
After his initial stun moment, Ye Jie grabbed her round and fine shoulders with his big hands and possessively his hands ran down her back. Even though there was a jersey top acting as a wall between his hands and her skin, she still felt the warmth making her squirm inwardly. He pulled her against his body making their hips collide leaving no space. On cue, Xu Mey kissed him harder while biting his bottom lip as he did to her before. Most importantly, she was teasing him, challenging his limits.
Ye Jie took a sharp intake of breath and a low growl escaped from his mouth. It acted as encouragement to Xu Mey who kissed him even harder now as she let her tongue invade his mouth with all its might. Her hands were dugging on his arms trying to accept every pleasure that he gave her and still asking for more.
His fingers stroked the exposed skin on her neck making her head spin. She realized rather than her possessing him, he was taking the charge now. Out of breath, they pulled away as Ye Jie dropped his forehead gently against hers.
"May I ask what this was for?" Ye Jie asked breathlessly with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Husband and wife shouldn’t hold grudges." She tried to say her piece but felt it was a pathetic excuse.
Ye Jie chuckled lightly. "If this activity is the result of having a grudge, I should consider doing it often." He was teasing her and it worked as her face flushed and she tried to push him away but Ye Jie held her shoulders again.
He slid her shirt off her shoulder a bit and left a trail of kisses up to the spot behind her earlobe making her shiver with pleasure and desire. "If I’m being a gentleman keeping your wound in mind, don’t test my patience." Ye Jie said close to her ear in his deep husky voice.
Ye Jie left her reeling there and walked towards the bathroom to take a cold shower. He was scared of hurting her and that is why he kept his restraint. Although it was difficult when he looked at her radiant cheeks and delicate neck, he needed to do it. He knew he had to cross a long road until he’ll be able to reach the point to completely own her. But it was a start and it was enough for him.
