YM778.TV Chapter 319 - A Mermaids Tear
Xu Mey had really outdone herself this time. In reality, the dinner became a reason for all these people to come together and share their happiness with each other.
During the whole dinner, Xu Mey didn’t bother with Jie at all. She’s been diligently serving all the food to Ye Jun who at one point thought he was really going to become the first person in this world who actually would die from the overdose of love and food. Such a weird combination!
One would think that Jie would feel uncomfortable or a bit jealous. But apparently, he was really enjoying himself. Not even for a second, his gaze shifted from Xu Mey’s face. His eyes held such adoration, affection, pride, and satisfaction that it even made Yang Ziyi feel envious. Even though she was just an onlooker.
On this table filled with people, she found the pair of Xu Mey and Jie to be the perfect one. She really was envious of this love.
How could one not be jealous?
Even though she could see the way Sun Ju placed food in Lin Shen’s bowl along with how Yu Kim and Li Qiao were holding hands underneath the table, in her opinion, they couldn’t match the love that was brimming in Jie’s eyes.
"Keep your evil eyes away from my Xiao Mey and her husband." Wu Wang’s voice spoiled Yang Ziyi’s mood. She was feeling such warmth in her heart and suddenly, Wu Wang’s bitter words dropped on her like a bucket of ice cold water.
She clenched her fists underneath the table and glared at him hatefully. Smiling innocently at him, she answered, "Keep your dumbfuc-kering thoughts to yourself."
"Can’t you stop being sarcastic for a minute?" He arched his brows.
"Sorry, but I seem to be too tired for that sh*t!" She definitely cursed to incite him again since Wu Wang’s face turned black.
While Wu Wang decided to ignore her, he heard her voice again, "This conversation must have helped to make you realize one thing."
"And what’s that?" Wu Wang asked as he clenched his jaw and tried to appear nonchalant.
"The fact that you should choose your words carefully around me... I definitely know how to throw them back right back at ya’."
Wu Wang languidly swirled the red wine in his glass before taking its sip completely acting as if Yang Ziyi wasn’t existing in his life at all.
Thankfully for Xu Mey, the dinner ended without anything unexpected. Everyone enjoyed the meal thoroughly and thanked Xu Mey for her hospitality. Just like any other girl, she was over the moon with all the praises and compliments. It oddly satisfied her ego.
Before leaving, Yang Ziyi also came to Xu Mey. "It’s really one of the best meals I have ever tasted in my life. Thank you for inviting me!"
Looking at her extended hand, Xu Mey took it and shook it lightly. "Not the best? Just one of the best?" It was a casual remark on Xu Mey’s part.
"Sorry! But I’d still choose my brother’s food as the best one." Yang Ziyi gave her an apologetic look as her other hand touched Xu Mey’s wrist. Xu Mey was pondering her words when Yang Ziyi suddenly smiled knowingly and let her hand go. She rummaged out something from her purse and placed it in Xu Mey’s hand. "This is my thank you gift for you."
Xu Mey looked at the beautiful pendant with a single aquamarine stone dangling from the rose gold chain. The stone was shaped as a single tear. It looked simple but beautiful and elegant. Matching her style perfectly.
"There is no need for this." Xu Mey tried to refuse it but Yang Ziyi pushed it back to her.
"There is a need. I’ll tell you some other time. For now, I can tell you that it’s not an ordinary stone. It’s named ’a mermaid’s tear’. My brother said that it can grant a wish. Honestly, it works." Yang Ziyi whispered in a mysterious way and smiled pleasantly. Her smile immediately put Xu Mey at ease and she accepted her gift.
While Xu Mey turned to say goodbye to Wu Wang, Jie walked up to Yang Ziyi’s side. "You’ve certainly grown up."
His remark made Yang Ziyi give a sly smile. "What gave that away?"
"You actually dared to gift that pendant to my wife. Do you think your brother will take it lightly? He exerted a lot of effort to get that specific stone for you. Even the carving is done by his own hands."
"Jie brother, you don’t need to worry. If I get into trouble, I’ll just use you as a shield. My brother loves you beyond my imagination. Also, I still think he won’t be angry."
"How are you so sure?" Jie was surprised to see her certain look.
"Jie brother, I’m not the right person to break this news to you but let me give you a piece of friendly advice... Take extra care of your wife. Don’t stress her out and don’t let her work like she did today. She needs rest." Jie was frowning as he couldn’t understand the underlying meaning of Yang Ziyi. "Also, her emotions are gonna be unstable. Don’t disagree with anything she says. It’s for your own good." She patted Jie’s shoulder and walked away leaving a dumbfounded Jie behind.
When Wu Wang dropped off Yang Ziyi at the hospital door, she didn’t waste any time to bicker with Wu Wang and ran inside. After a few steps, she pulled out her cellphone and made a call. As the call connected, she started screaming. "Bro, bro, you won’t guess what I just found out."
Perplexed by her excitement, the person on the other end asked languidly, "Now, I wonder what actually is making you so hyperactive at this time."
"Brooooo! I’m going to be an aunt soon!" She exclaimed into the mic of the phone in a loud voice.
"But I don’t even have a girlfriend," the person on the other end answered in a calm voice.
Yang Ziyi rolled her eyes and said, "Bro, just because you’re hell-bent on being single for life doesn’t mean others are as well. Jie brother has a wife."
"Oh..." This dry answer really didn’t effect Yang Ziyi’s mood, she was used to it.
"Bro, did you hear? Jie brother is going to be a dad!"
