"Can’t they just spend the weekend at their own places?" Jie muttered to himself while maintaining a polite expression for all the people who just barged in without his permission. "But no... They have to come here just to ruin my weekend."
"And how’s our Xiao Mey doing?" Jie was tired of hearing this question. If they were going to come, they should have come together. At least, his baby wouldn’t have repeatedly answer them with, "We are doing absolutely fine."
"Hey, Mr. Broody!" Wu Wang saw the ugly look on Jie’s face and it was very easy to discern what was going through his mind. But strangely, it gave him a sense of amusement. It was like teasing Jie had become their favorite hobby.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Jie stood up to greet him and said, "I should ask the maid to bring some snacks for everyone." He squirmed his way out of there. Even after months of his marriage, he still wasn’t comfortable with all those intruders. Whenever he had some time for his baby, someone would just barge in to boggle his mind.
"Your husband is so damn pissed-off right now," Li Qiao remarked as he saw Jie walking away.
"Ah-Jie is just petty when it comes to me. No need to take him so seriously." Xu Mey replied with a huge grin. She was naturally very happy to see everyone there. Especially since they each had someone to hold their hand this time around. It felt good seeing that they had someone to lean on.
Ye Jun entered the living room with slow steps while he kept rubbing the back of his neck. There was a frown between his brows as he was in deep thought. "Ahan!" He suddenly exclaimed as the lightbulb of his mind was finally lit. "Now I know why I felt that deja vu earlier."
"What are you talking about, Jun?" Xu Mey questioned him.
"Aiyoh, sis! Do you remember the day these friends of yours came here for the first time?"
"I naturally remember it. I made a huge feast that day." Xu Mey answered with a tired look as if the previous tiredness was wearing down on her all over again.
"That day, your friends came in the same order. The only difference is said to be, this time each of them has a lady companion. Back then they came like single dogs." Ye Jun was feeling proud for remembering the event so vividly. But as he looked around, his proud smile stiffened. All of them were sitting in pairs well except for Xu Mey but Jie wasn’t far.
And it was obvious that Xu Mey and Jie were alone enough to stuff him with dog food for a lifetime.
Realizing the meaning of this scene he cursed, "Fu*k! Now, they are here to make this single dog suffer." He was indignant. Not ready to be shoved by dog food by them as well, he said, "Sis, this is so unfair. I’m not a doorkeeper, okay? I’m the freaking CEO of Ye Corporation now. But your friends always make me feel like a doorman."
"Oho! That’s so unfair with my Jun." Xu Mey opened her arms for him from the couch and with a sly smile, Ye Jun went up to hug her. "Don’t worry at all. I won’t let them bully you anymore. Who can make my hotshot CEO brother-in-law feel like a doorman? I won’t let that happen!"
She patted his head like coaxing a little kid. "Dear brothers, stop making my little Jun feel like a doorman. He’s the newly appointed CEO. Show some respect." She turned to reprimand the four very amused best friends of hers.
Before anyone could say anything else, the doorbell rang again.
"Jun, see who’s at the door." Xu Mey’s words made everyone want to laugh at the irony but taking Ye Jun’s emotions into consideration, no one did so. "No, I should go myself." She tried to lift her leg but Ye Jun stopped her.
"Forget it. I’m the doorman for today. Just for you, I’ll do it." Ye Jun obviously didn’t want Xu Mey to move around. He got up with a heavy heart and asked, "Who is missing from here?"
"Azalea and Xiamu." Xu Mey answered.
"Oh, the estranged pair. One who can’t confess and the other who can’t see. Another pair of fools." No one understood his meaning and nobody really cared. The bell rang again and Ye Jun made his way to the door again while grumbling, "Why are people so impatient these days?" If Jie would have heard this, he would have really kicked his butt for being a hypocrite. Earlier, he was also impatient but now he had the gall to question others?
"I’m coming. Stop ringing the bell already!" Ye Jun shouted before pulling the door open with an ugly face. The person who came in view made him stunned. He didn’t move or even blinked afraid that the person might fade away if he closed his eyes even for a second.
"Long time no see, Jun." The soft voice made him finally release his breath which he didn’t know he was holding.
