Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty-Chapter 399 - Love Can Find A Way
Chapter 399 - Love Can Find A Way
A pair of leather shoes were tapping against the marble floor while the tall man's black eyes were looking at the big screen hanging from the ceiling. He continued to look around impatiently at the throng of people gathered to receive their loved ones.
Yes, he was standing at the arrivals gate waiting for his own loved one to show up as well. But a lot of those people around him had already made their way back while he was still standing at the same place.
He lifted his hand to check the time on his diamond-encrusted wristwatch. His brows quirked up as he realized that he had been waiting for an hour now.
"Kade!"
A crisp but jubilant voice caught his attention and even without looking up, his lips curled into a beautiful smile knowing who that voice actually belonged to.
That excited girl didn't even take a moment before jumping straight into his arms. And being already used to her over-enthusiasm, he wrapped his arms around her waist to hold her. She tip-toed to drop kisses on his face but since he was a lot taller than her, she could only reach his jaw. The worst part, he wasn't even lowering his head like always.
Azalea pouted at him, "Hubby, I missed you so much."
"We are in public," was his straightforward reply making her act like a sulky baby who hid her face in his chest and refused to pull away.
Although Azalea loved her dear husband, Xu Xiamu very much, this man really hated this public display of affection. In this matter, Xiamu was the complete opposite of his sister, Xu Mey.
His hand rubbed her head with a gentle and doting look in his eyes that was enough to make Zelie smile again. Was there ever a chance that she would stay mad at him?
Back when Xiamu had completely turned her down, she was heartbroken at first but later it made her realize that maybe she wasn't able to convey her feelings well. And since he thought she was wasting her youth on him, she went out to find her real dream. But even after becoming a successful curator, she was still certain that her first dream had been him. Because her love for Xiamu didn't decrease. It only intensified.
And that's why she pursued him again. Even if he ran, she was determined to catch him. And she did. Just as her brother had advised her, "If you want something, run after it. Don't give up."
But a big credit to her relationship with Xiamu should be given to the people in her life who always supported her. Those who encouraged her at every step of the way.
As for Xiamu, he had never really thought that he would fall in love with this girl whom he always saw as just a baby. But love has a way. Love can find its way to the cruelest heart and he was just a simple person. How could the intensity of her love not reach him? It was nearly impossible since she had waited five years just trying to pursue him.
Even an iceberg would melt with that kind of determination. Although he loved this jubilant wife of his, he still didn't like showing it before people. His ways of showing his love had been completely different from his sister and brother-in-law who often made people feel like third-wheels even after so many years of marriage.
Their long journey to find love was actually like a reminder. One; You can find love as long as you're willing to suffer the pain of wait and patience it brings. Two; Patience and persistence can create miracles in life. The only question is; Are you even willing to take this chance at love? Because 99% of the time, people tend to give up on their love without even trying their best. Zelie was in that 1 % who knew if it wasn't Xiamu than there was no one else for her.
Hugging her shoulders, he led her outside the airport while asking, "Didn't you say that the gallery was about to showcase some famous artist's last work or something? Why did you suddenly come back then?"
"You're not happy to see me?" asked Zelie blinking up at him innocently.
Xiamu shook his head at her, kissed the top of her head, and answered, "No. I'm very happy to have you in my arms."
Zelie clutched his arms even more tightly while snuggling up close to his body. "I just missed you so much that I decided to just resign from my job." Xiamu quirked up his brows at her reply. "Don't worry. I wasn't being hasty at all. I thought about it long and hard."
Xiamu didn't say anything to that. Since she decided it, she had her reasons for it. Besides, it was already hard enough to stay away from her. Flying over every month or even every week just to spend some time together was not a good idea anymore since they had been married for over a year now.
Apart from that, she was Zhu Chen's only daughter, Zhu Jie's only sister, and even her husband was Xu Xiamu. Did she even need a reason to work for anyone? Any one of these people was more than willing to open a gallery for here.
Bzzzz...
Xiamu had opened the door of the car for her when his cellphone's vibration came through. He fished out his phone from his suit's jacket and looked at his sister's photo that was displayed on the screen. Why was she calling so suddenly?
Xiamu put the phone against his ear but his sister didn't even give him a chance to say a word as she started, "Kaden! How dare you hide this from me?"
"Hide what?" he frowned and didn't notice the way his wife bit her lip.
"I didn't expect this from you. I thought I'm your best sister. But no, everyone in the whole family knows but I just had to find it out through Jun? How could you?" Xu Mey was going crazy at the other end thinking how her own brother hid such huge news from her. Weren't they like very close now? Why was he still treating her as a stranger than?
"Sis, I don't even know what you're saying. Can you please be more clear with me?"
"You're gonna be a father soon and you're still asking me to be more clear about it? How long were you planning on hiding this from me?"
Xu Mey's words stunned Xiamu to his place. He who was helping his wife with the seatbelt was frozen in that weird posture where his one hand was holding his phone, the other hand was holding the seatbelt and his face was inches away from Azalea's face who smiled sheepishly at him.
"Did you just say I'm gonna be a father?"
