Since tonight Xu Mey had decided to announce to the world about her ident.i.ty, Lin Shen"s fiancee Sun Jun specifically brought her handmade dress for Xu Mey from her new collection.
Yu Kim became the personal stylist for the day, gladly as the two gorgeous ladies dressed up a dazzling one.
Both Yu Kim and Sun Ju gave Xu Mey a nod of approval and did a high-five feeling triumphant. Xu Mey rolled her eyes at them and said, "Let me see myself now."
"No!" Both of them stopped her simultaneously and shared a devious look.
"See yourself from your husband"s eyes. That"ll be more satisfying!" Yu Kim nodded agreeing with Sun Ju"s words and Xu Mey gave them a dirty look.
"Fine! Whatever!" Xu Mey grumbled and walked down the stairs. Ye Jie was chatting with Lin Shen in the front garden.
As they heard the clicking sound of the heels, both of them tilted their heads to see Xu Mey sauntering out of the door. Looking at her, Ye Jie stood up from his chair and kept staring at her without even blinking.
She was wearing a satin, red high low dress with the lower part trailing down to her feet while the high part was just hiding her knees. The dress had a gold applique and it must be said that Sun Ju had done a great job with that gold needlework patterns. The dress was off-shoulder with a sweetheart neckline giving a clear view of Xu Mey"s jade-like skin and those collarbones that Ye Jie loved to suck on.
Xu Mey was wearing gold heels and held a gold clutch in hand. Her eyes were glossy and her hair looked beautiful in waves. Her makeup wasn"t over the top. It was rather kept natural with only a bright red lipstick making her look alluring. Wait! Ye Jie shook his head. She was beyond alluring. She was graceful, elegant, divine, and graceful.
Dazzling she always had been, so there was no need to even mention it. Tonight, Ye Jie felt like calling her pulchritudinous might not even do justice.
He wasn"t any less handsome in his solid grey slim fit suit and leather shoes. Her brown hair was styled back giving a full view of his forehead. He was dazzling as always with an aura of dominance emanating from him. One look at his face could instantly put one at an edge.
"And here I thought, Xiao Mey would be the dazzling one," Xu Mey heard Sun Ju"s sigh behind her.
"Hehe... They really make a beautiful couple." Yu Kim added in her opinion making Sun Ju nod.
Seeing him in a trance, Xu Mey gave him a pearly white smile nervously. "How do I look?" She asked coming closer to him.
"Ravis.h.i.+ng..." Ye Jie replied without missing a beat. "But then again you always look ravis.h.i.+ng to me. I really feel like going to this wedding would be such a waste of time."
Xu Mey smiled as she looked at his brown eyes clouded with desire and said, "What does Ah-Jie have in mind then?"
Ye Jie heaved a dreamy sigh saying, "Baby, I have plenty of ideas in mind to make this time worthwhile." Xu Mey"s cheeks grew crimson red as she avoided looking into his eyes.
"Ahem! Ahem!" The series of fake coughs made both of them aware of the people around. "Since you guys are getting late. We"ll be taking our leave now. Break a leg, Xiao Mey!" Lin Shen gave Xu Mey a side hug and added, "Don"t just break the leg literally. I mean it metaphorically."
"Shen-Ge!" Xu Mey whined a bit at his teasing.
Lin Shen chuckled and turned to Ye Jie, "You better be alert. With her looking like this, tonight might get out of hand."
Ye Jie snaked an arm around her waist pulling her by his side as he said, "Don"t worry! I"ll keep her right by my side. She"s mine now. n.o.body gets to take what"s mine." Lin Shen patted his shoulder and left with Sun Ju and Yu Kim trailing behind him.
"Shall we, m"lady?" Ye Jie made a gentlemanly bow making Xu Mey giggle.
"Yes, we shall! M"lord!" She curtsied in a fancy manner and slipped her hand in his.
During the whole car ride, Ye Jie"s eyes were stuck on her bright red lips while his hand held hers. Both their intertwined hands were laying on Ye Jie"s leg as he drew circles at the back of her hand with his thumb. It was quite disturbing for Xu Mey. The heat emanating from his hand and the way his thumb"s rough pad rubbed against her soft skin made her neck feel tingling.
It was weird that the sensations from her hands were felt by her neck which craved for his lips but she held herself back. It was really not the time.
"Ah-Jie, why are you staring at my lips?" She finally asked him as she was on edge of dropping everything and staying in the car with him.
"Because you never wore lipstick and tonight, your lips look blood red." He spoke calmly still keeping his darkened eyes on her lips.
"So what if they are blood red?" Xu Mey didn"t know why she asked this stupid question since the answer made her suck in a sharp breath.
"Because those blood red lips are making me bloodthirsty. I wonder what they taste like," his voice was husky near her face as his thumb stroked her lower lip softly making her close her eyes spontaneously. But his soft lips didn"t come down on hers, she opened her eyes inquiring him. "But I won"t taste them."
He leaned back in his seat leaving her frustrated and on edge. "Why not?" she managed to breathe out.
Ye Jie looked into her eyes and smiled dangerously. "Because I know, after I touch those lips. There will be no way back. This expensive dress of yours will be laying torn apart on the car floor. Now, I know I"d like to see that but you might not."
Xu Mey opened her mouth to say, "No! I"d love to see it torn apart!" But a bit of her sensible conscience held her back and scolded her to focus on the task of tonight!
But her focus was again thrown out the word when Ye Jie leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "That doesn"t mean that this dress won"t be torn off of you. I"ll get my wish. It doesn"t matter if it"d be a bit later than I"d like it to be."
Xu Mey placed her index finger between his brows and pushed his face back saying, "Ah-Jie, don"t seduce me!"
Ye Jie made an innocent face, "When did I do that?"
Xu Mey shook her head at him and stayed quiet. Although she wanted to scream, "Always!"
