Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty-Chapter 421 - Won't Stay Mad

Chapter 421 - Won't Stay Mad

Xu Family House...

Xu Mey had been in her room since the time she had talked to Jie over the phone. She was feeling disturbed by his words and that's why turned off her phone. Jie's words were playing on repeat in her mind...

'You're not neglecting the kids? Your argument was with me, right? Then why did you choose to leave the house? I'm not the only one who lives in that house. Our kids are there as well who asked me in the morning where their mother is and I had no answer for them.'

Just like when he said those words, she still couldn't find an answer at all. Indeed, there wasn't just Jie in that house, her two adorable kids were also there. And those adorable kids were extra smart, no matter what answer Jie gave them, they'll eventually figure out that their mother left them and ran away just because she was feeling hurt.

This thought made her heart clench. Although the argument began with Juan, however, the real disagreement was between her and Jie. Why did she choose to walk away from her kids?

'No matter how upset I am, I'll eventually comes back to you. But you couldn't wait. Why is it that difficult for you to wait for me? If you don't have the courage to face the truth, at least have the patience to wait!'

She couldn't refute those words either. He was indeed always waiting for her. Wasn't that the thought that kept her going till now? She knew he was always waiting for her and that's why she was able to push herself to achieve greater success in life. But then why did she couldn't wait this time? Why was she so impulsive?

Actually, she had the answer herself. It was because she had grown too comfortable with the fact that Jie would always be there for her. Maybe that's why her love grew arrogant and she started taking it all for granted.

'I think we both should take this time to understand what exactly is wrong between us. Because unless we figure it out, this marriage is not gonna work.'

She had locked herself in her room to actually contemplate this statement. What was exactly wrong with their marriage? Because honestly, she really didn't see anything wrong. They had been fine for 9 years.

But she finally found the answer within Jie's words... He had said, 'Where is the time for me then? When are you trying to be my wife?'

Although she always made sure to go out with him on dinner dates every now and then, however, now that she thought about it, it seemed like it had been a long time they had even been too intimate with each other. Because her schedule was getting hectic and she couldn't even find time for herself. But since Jie didn't say anything, she didn't even realize that the time they spent together had been getting shorter and shorter.

Whenever he would try to be romantic, she always would remember something else to do. Either it was to help her mother-in-law with family traditions or going out to find her best friends to help them with something else.

Although every night, she'd go to her kids' room to say good night, most of the time, they'd be sleeping. So, the time they mostly saw her had been over breakfast. And as she always cooked breakfast herself for them, she thought they'd happy with it. Even when she cooked early and left, she thought her kids knew that their mother loved them.

But how did she forget? Back when she was a kid, her dad also gave her what she wanted except for his time. And yet she called him a bad father. Then how was she different?

The more Xu Mey thought about it, the more chaotic her emotions became. She couldn't help crying out. She indeed hated people raising their voices at her but she felt more hurt when Jie did it. Because she never thought he would raise his voice at her. And her sharp-tongue couldn't help snapping back either.

Actually, since last night Xu Mey had not said anything about her argument with Jie. She didn't share it with anyone. She only came home because she thought she needed to calm down and she needed to give Jie some time to calm down as well. She didn't think her absence would actually have the opposite effect on Jie who was expecting to see her this morning but she wasn't there.

Perhaps, that's why he was more upset. Because she left without a word.

But being locked inside her room, she didn't realize what storm was brewing outside at all. She didn't know that Azalea had told her mother about Xu Mey tagging along with them. She didn't know how her leaving Jie was interpreted by everyone else around her. She didn't know that He Susu had gone early in the morning to vent on Jie who in turn called her in a bad mood thinking she shared something that was personal between them.

She also didn't know that since she was crying inside her room, and wasn't going out, the servants had informed her state to everyone else in the family. In fact, she knew nothing about any of it.

All she knew was that, for the first time in a long while she thought she was wrong about something. She shouldn't have left last night. If she hadn't everything would be fixed by now. Her Ah-Jie would never be able to stay upset as long as he saw her face first thing the morning.

"AHHH!" she screamed in exasperation and scattered everything in her room. "What have you done?! Why is your impulsiveness still not going?!!"

But doing this was counterproductive, so she hurriedly washed her face, changed her clothes, and decided to go and pick her kids up from school. She knew they'd be happy to see her there. She'd always drop them off at the gate of the school but never went to pick them up. That was Jie's responsibility.

However, she had never even gone to her kids' school since they changed school. They would never get into fights and were like well-behaved kids. So, she never had to worry about them.

"I'll give them a surprise. They'd very happy," she was satisfied with her thinking. "After that, we'll all go together to see Ah-Jie. He won't stay mad at me!"
