Chapter 141 - Dancing To The Rhythm



Now, he understood the main theme of Vintage Gems; Be Classy, Be Simple. It was clear to see that the slogan was chosen by Xu Mey to match her preference.

This specific Jewelry Exhibition was held because it was the 5th anniversary of Vintage Gems. A lot of people were invited whether they were business partners or just an employee, all were gathered in the huge hall. The media was strictly prohibited from entering on this anniversary. Because President Xu had decided to stay even after giving her speech.

After her speech, a piece of soft music was played and people with their respective partners came ahead to dance. Ye Jie also laced his fingers through Xu Mey’s and pulled her to the dance floor without asking for her opinion. Xu Mey was taken by surprise as she looked around to see people passing her odd looks. After all, President Xu didn’t have the habit of mingling with people for no reason.

Xu Mey tried to pull her hand away but his grip tightened. Xu Mey glared at him but he was unfazed. He even passed her an accusing look which made Xu Mey agree to dance with him. She was feeling really nervous. Almost like freaking out. But when Ye Jie swung her to the circle of his arms, she lost herself in his brown orbs. His one hand was on the small of her back and his other hand placed her hand over his own chest.

As her hand was splayed on his chest, she felt trapped. As if someone glued her hand there. All her uneasiness vanished when she felt the warmth of his body and started enjoying being in his strong arms. The lights suddenly dimmed and for Xu Mey, the whole world vanished- leaving him with strong arms to provide protection to her.

The hand on the small of her back started moving upward until his rough fingers made contact with the bare skin. He felt the softness, smoothness and flawless skin under his touch and she shivered reflexively. His fingers were firm and yet light.

His touch was gentle and it sent delightful shivers throughout her heart and body. They were swaying together in rhythm with the soft music. They were so close that she could inhale his pure masculine scent along with his warm breath on her face.

By the time the dance ended, Xu Mey was left breathless. She felt the heat rising from the tip of her toes to the tip of her ears. When his arms left her body, she staggered a bit before getting her balance back. Ye Jie was quite pleased with this reaction.

"Isn’t it weird for President Xu to stay at the party even after her speech?" The gossipmongers were at it again. They really couldn’t stop from gossiping.

"Also, she just danced and it was so beautiful. KYAA!" An excited one squealed like a teenager.

"They look so damn perfect together. Who’s the guy?" Someone asked.

"The manager was introducing him as the CEO of Glow Gemstones." An evesdropper informed.

"So, he is Mr. Jacob. He’s really handsome unlike what I’ve heard from people." Said another one.

"But why do I find that man really familiar?" One of the girls had a thoughtful look.

"Isn’t he the one who came to pick the President on Monday?" The most observant person pointed it out as all of the people turned to look at him.

Their eyes popped when they heard this revelation. "So, this means there is something between President Xu and CEO Jacob?"

This anniversary party had turned into the most thrilling one with these speculations. Almost everyone heard about it in the hall.

But both Xu Mey and Ye Jie were unaware of the gossips around them. They had no concern at all. Xu Mey’s heart was hammering in her chest at the thought of Ye Jie’s way of saying ’punishment’ to her and Ye Jie was delighting himself with Xu Mey’s adorable expressions.

"Should we leave?" Ye Jie asked getting even closer to her making her jolt a bit.

She wanted to say something. Something for sure. But her mind went blank and she only managed to bob her head up and down. He held her hand and walked towards the backdoor of the convention center. Qi Guan had already brought the car to the entrance and opened the door for both of them.

After they settled inside the car silently, Qi Guan started the car. Throughout the ride to home, Ye Jie didn’t make an attempt to touch Xu Mey. Not even once. He didn’t even hold her hand in his own which was their habit.

Xu Mey felt cold and upset. She didn’t like that he was not touching her or talking to her. Even more so, she was mad at her own self. First, she wanted to escape his touch to maintain her sanity and now when he wasn’t touching, she was complaining in her heart. She really couldn’t understand what she wanted herself.

But this was all Ye Jie’s fault. She had convinced herself that it was all his fault for invading her life and senses like this that his presence and absence both made her lose her sanity.
