Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty-Chapter 389 - I'm So Scared
"What game do you want to play?" Jun Li Na immediately got interested.
"Monopoly!" Azalea spoke immediately.
Jun Li Na's smile stiffened as she glared at her. "Meymey hates monopoly."
"Ha? Why?" Azalea turned to Xu Mey with a confused face.
"Friendship is questioned when money is involved. And I for one, become a vicious person in monopoly. Let's not ruin this happy time." Everyone laughed at Xu Mey's words while Azalea couldn't find a way to retort at all. "Also, I don't want my little bun to see his mommy acting like a wild shrew over a few hundred dollars." She was talking like the child in her could actually see her right now.
"I agree. Let's come up with a better game."
"How about truth or dare?"
"Nah! That's too boring."
"Hey, we can play never have I ever?"
"I can't even touch alcohol. What's the fun without it?" Xu Mey snapped exasperatedly.
"Let's build a blanket fort?" All heads whipped around to stare at Mi'er who smiled sheepishly and said, "You guys kept saying no. So, I thought to try my luck as well."
Xu Mey grinned at her saying, "Future sister-in-law, I love your idea but I can't move otherwise I'd love to do exactly that right now." Everyone laughed along and nodded making Mi'er comfortable between them.
"Okay. I have one." When Xu Mey got everyone's attention, she took a long pause to add dramatic effect and said, "Let's have a re-run of Black Butler." Seeing everyone's dumbfounded looks, Xu Mey's eyes widened and she was gaping in disbelief. "I can't believe this. Why am I having these girls here if they don't even know my Sabastian?" She glared at everyone clearly in disappointment.
If Jie had been here, he would have really shaken his head at his wife. She was still stuck in the same place with her Black Butler obsession. Xu Mey spent the next two hours trying to convince everyone that they are fools for not having a clue about Black Butler. Long story short, she accomplished her goal when she made those girls sit before huge tv and watch the dark-themed anime with interest.
Jie called Xu Mey at midnight to inquire about her situation.
"Ah-Jie, aren't you in a meeting? Why are you calling me?"
"I'm done with the meeting."
"So soon?"
"I decided to not waste 3 hours on the road and took my personal chopper."
Xu Mey was amused to hear his reply. Just to get back to her sooner, he was doing everything possible.
"How are you feeling?" He asked after a pause.
"I'm absolutely fine. We had loads of fun talking. Ah-Jie, do you know what we just did?"
"What?"
"Hehe... I was just watching Black Butler with the girls." She beamed with happiness at her accomplishment while Jie could only shake his head at her. "They were arguing a lot that it has a dark and not so friendly vibe but I eventually managed to convince them otherwise."
He could feel her sense of accomplishment from the happiness in her voice. "Not everyone is easy to manipulate like your husband."
"That's true." Xu Mey didn't deny that while walking slowly around the hall. Her contractions had become about 12-14 minutes apart making her clench her jaw in pain. But she was trying hard not to let Jie feel anything amiss.
"Baby, you should go to sleep now. I'm getting on the chopper and will be with you in no tim-"
"Ahh!" Xu Mey's shriek cut him off and he froze still.
Panic rose within him. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"I-I think the bun is ready to come out of the oven..." Cold sweat was trickling on her face while her face was pale. Jie could tell she was in pain. The tremble in her voice was enough to tell him. Yet she was in the mood to joke around?
"Let me do something." He frantically started moving and called everyone.
Yang Ziyi was already beside Xu Mey when they heard her scream earlier. As she was done with her checkup she said, "Let's shift her to the hospital."
Even Jie heard her voice over the phone and yelled out, "The car is already out. Take my wife to the hospital and let me warn you Ziyi if anything happened to my wife, I'll-"
"We're getting late. Let's leave already." Yang Ziyi hung up on him and helped Xu Mey to the car. Who was in the mood to get a scolding? She wasn't!
On their 20 minutes ride to the hospital, everyone was feeling nervous and anxious since Xu Mey's screams were really getting louder and louder. She was getting scared not because of the pain but because she felt like even in the presence of all these girls, she was all alone.
'Ah-Jie, I will never force you again. Please come back soon. I'm so scared.' Xu Mey felt like crying at the thought of being alone during this time. She wanted Jie to be right there beside her.
