Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

"I hear wedding bells."

Startled by the voice, both Wu Wang and Yang Ziyi frantically pulled away and stood at the side awkwardly. Wu Wang lifted his eyes to see Li Qiao, He Jian, and Lin Shen looking at him with amused looks on their faces.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" Wu Wang clenched his jaw since his stupid best friends really knew how to ruin the moment. Yang Ziyi immediately tried to slip away again but her luck wasn’t on her side as Wu Wang again stopped her and said, "We are not done here." Whatever he meant by that, it made Yang Ziyi blush profusely as she ran out of there.

Wu Wang ascended the stairs to get to his friends and glared at them. "I asked you a question."

"We were having a discussion," Li Qiao answered calmly.

"Here?" Wu Wang asked skeptically and all of them shrugged their shoulders indifferently. "Okay, so what’s the discussion about?"

"I can’t seem to recall the previous agenda but I think now the agenda is your wedding." Lin Shen teased Wu Wang.

"Shut up!" Wu Wang grumbled hiding his smile.

"You sure about this?" Wu Wang gave He Jian an inquisitive look and he continued, "I mean, are you sure about Yang Ziyi? She is a handful after all."

Wu Wang looked down where Yang Ziyi stood a while ago and said, "I think I am sure. She’s a handful but she’s also an honest person and that’s what I need in my life. After the previous dishonest relationship, this is what I need for sure."

"Well, I’m happy for you." Li Qiao gave him a side hug and patted his back a bit harshly on purpose.

"Cut the chase. Be clear with me, what’s going on?" Wu Wang didn’t buy their beating around the bush way to get rid of him.

The rest of them shared a look before He Jian sighed out and beckoned Wu Wang towards the window behind him. "Look down and tell me what you see."

Wu Wang frowned but still looked around. Everything seemed normal. Too normal to be honest giving him an uneasy feeling. Finally, his gaze locked on something. "Those people are suspicious."

As he saw his friends nodding, they fell into silence.

"What’s going on?" Wu Wang questioned again.

"Not sure, but from the pattern we observed, they had been keeping an eye on Jie’s room. It looks like they are... protecting him?" He Jian answered uncertainly.

"From what? Or from whom?"

"That we can’t be sure about." They fell into a contemplative silence all over again. "But their movements sure are suspicious." He Jian had spent his fair share of time in the military to recognize people’s abnormal movements. He was sure something was up but the question was; what?

Since it was already past dinnertime, all of them decided not to disturb Xu Mey. Although it was hard to keep this news to themselves, they still had to do so.

Slowly but steadily, midnight fell over the sky like a velvet blanket engulfing the colors of grey or whatever was left of it anyway. Midnight brings the trail of dreams with it and oftentimes, it brings the nightmares.

While Xu Mey was cuddling with Jie in a deep slumber, Jie was wide awake thinking about Ru’s warning. But feeling the warmth of Xu Mey’s body pressed against his own and the heavy dose of medicines, he soon lost himself to sleep as well.

Outside the window, the air was cooler and damper since the light had been ebbed and dwindled into nothingness. Even the moon looked wanned at this time of the night. It was the time of the night when even rustling of leaves could feel scary.

Suddenly, a black silhouette entered the room without making a sound. He seemed to be merged with the darkness of the room. The curtains draped over the window were fluttering softly as the silhouette made its way towards the happy couple buried in each other’s arms.

In the dark room, a silver sleek shiny object glimmered and slowly made its way towards the couple who was lost in dreamland.

But before that person could move, he heard someone’s melodious voice right beside his ear, "Hi, Sharky! I’ve been waiting for you."
