BXBX NOVEL Chapter 388 - Play A Game
"Why are you not understanding? I’ve called Li Na and she’s gonna bring a lot of snacks with her. We’ll be having a girls night here. You don’t have to worry." Xu Mey’s patience was running out but this husband of hers was still not being compliant. How infuriating!
"Those snacks might not be healthy and I don’t want to risk anything at all," Jie answered without any delay. Trusting his brother’s girl? No way! He could hardly believe that Jun Li Na wasn’t being influenced by Ye Jun. After all, those two were almost stuck together these days.
Xu Mey rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Why was he acting so clingy? In reality, he wasn’t being clingy and she knew that herself. She had been having a hard time during these extra two weeks and he was scared that the previous accident might have done something. He didn’t want to say it out but in his heart, he was really worried for her.
Xu Mey took a deep breath and planned to change her tactics. She softened her tone and started again, "Ah-Jie, don’t forget that you’re Zhu Jie now. You can’t disappoint the whole Zhu Family just because of me."
"Why can’t I? You are my wife and before my image or responsibilities, I need to take care of you. How can I fulfill my responsibilities if my mind would be all over the place thinking about you?" Jie was also adamant.
"But Ah-Jie, I’ll be fine. Not only Li Na but also Mi’er, Kim, Ziyi, and Azalea are gonna join me as well. Wouldn’t it be a blast? I’ll have a lot of fun with all the girls. Please, go and attend to your business. I promise I’ll contact you if anything seems amiss."
Jie fell into deep thought. If she wanted to spend time with girls, he couldn’t say no to that. But the capital was 3 hours away! How could he be at ease?
But her pleading eyes and adorable pout made him lose out. Why did he even expect to have a different outcome? He obviously started believing in Ru’s words when she gave him the title of, ’Henpecked Husband’. He was certainly very easy to manipulate.
Jie reluctantly got ready to leave and during that time, his house already had girls roaming around in their onesies. He was bewildered while his mouth twitched. This slumber party was really scaring him for some unknown reason.
Seeing Azalea in her unicorn onesie, he held in his laughter and tugged at her horn saying, "You better take care of your sister-in-law. I won’t go easy on you." His stern and warning voice made her flustered.
"Jie-Ge, you’re overreacting. I’ll definitely be at my best behavior. I promise I’ll take care of her." She swore in all honesty.
"Jie bro, I’m a doctor. You can be at ease that your wife is in best hands." Yang Ziyi assured him with a smile but seeing her clad in a penguin onesie, he couldn’t bring himself to feel assured at all.
"Your boyfriend has called you blockhead doctor so many times that even I can’t bring myself to have faith in you." Jie’s words made Yang Ziyi pout in defiance. It was all Wu Wang’s fault for calling her blockhead doctor all the time. She’ll settle scores with that playboy scion!
"Ah-Jie, you’re getting late. Go fast and come back faster." Xu Mey was rushing him to leave.
"Baby, please don’t tire yourself. No need to do anything. Act like Madam Zhu and order everyone around. I’ll be back soon." Xu Mey held in the urge to roll her eyes at him nagging her like a mother and pushed him out the door.
She heard the bouts of laughter from behind and felt embarrassed to see all her girlfriends laughing at her like this.
"You both really make one envious." Jun Li Na’s remark got all of the others to nod along in agreement while Xu Mey stayed quiet and sat down since walking was a difficult task these days.
Soon the atmosphere turned lively with all of them chatting and sharing stories making Xu Mey laugh without restraint. She didn’t expect this slumber party with girls to be this interesting. She even got to hear the stories about her best friends that left her wondering if she really knew them.
"Should we watch movies or play a game?" After dinner, the suggestion was made by one of them.
"Let’s play a game," Azalea suggested.
