Xu Mey had to say goodbye to Jun Li Na with a heavy burden on her heart. Although her heart knew that whatever Jun Li Na said was true, she still wasn't feeling okay with letting her leave like this. She knew if Ye Jun got to know about this, he'd be really sad.


She only chose to promise Jun Li Na because she knew that it wasn't the time to tell Ye Jun anything. He'd have a lot to deal with now that his mother was sent to prison. There was no way that the Zhu family would let Zhou Ning out for the rest of her life. That was already heartbreaking enough for Ye Jun and she didn't want to add to his troubles by bringing up Jun Li Na's matter.


With complicated feelings, Xu Mey made her way back to the Peach Estates. She needed someone to talk to at this time and Ye Jie was the best option she had.


When she came home, Ye Jie was going through some documents in the living room. Xu Mey paced up to his side and perched down right beside him. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes feeling weary all of a sudden.


"My baby seems to be really tired," commented Ye Jie as he stroked her hair gently. Xu Mey hummed in response and stayed quiet not knowing how to bring up the drama that unfolded at the airport.


"Ah-Jie, Jun Li Na left the country." Ye Jie placed the documents in his hand down, asking her the details. Xu Mey related the whole conversation with Jun Li Na to Ye Jie without skipping out anything. "I think she shouldn't have break Jun's heart like this."


Seeing her taking sides, Ye Jie smiled softly and said, "If for a second you'll try to think from her perspective, you'd know that what she did isn't wrong." Xu Mey didn't expect him to say this. "She had loved a man for a decade. Not just loved him, she actually changed herself for him. And one day, her dignity, love, emotions, and whatever she held dear was squashed by that same person."


"But Jun is offering her a new beginning with his sincerest feelings. What's so difficult in just giving him a chance?" Xu Mey argued with a scowl.


"There is nothing wrong except for the fact that Ye Jun was there to watch her crumble down right before his eyes," said Ye Jie.


"What?" Xu Mey didn't understand his meaning.


"For Jun Li Na, Jun was the man who admired her. Can you even fathom her feelings when she saw that pitiful look in Jun's eyes? The eyes where she only saw a fawning and admiring look, she had to see pity for herself." Xu Mey's heart shook a bit as everything became clear to her. "She didn't leave him... In my opinion, she's giving herself a chance to heal. In this state, she'd only be feeling pity for even herself. Therefore, she needs time before she could think about love again."


Xu Mey stayed quiet, thinking about what he had just said. She was being emotional for the sake of Ye Jun and was letting her emotions dictate her actions. But after Ye Jie cleared things up, she actually felt that she was being biased.


"I need to tell you something." She heard Ye Jie's voice and in a daze, she hummed in reply gesturing him to continue. "My mom sent Mrs. Ye to the prison."


Xu Mey opened her eyes immediately and titled her head to face Ye Jie. Did he know? Since when? Xu Mey was wondering when Ye Jie answered, "Actually, mom sent her to prison because I asked her to be lenient." Xu Mey was even more perplexed.


"Why? Why would you plead for her? Aren't you angry with her?" Xu Mey voiced out her queries.


"Yes... I am angry. But she raised me all these years. Even though she wasn't exceptionally nice to me but she never treated me shabbily as well. In reality, I even thought about forgiving her completely because I didn't want to dwell into this unnecessary affair. But mom didn't agree with that." Xu Mey couldn't believe the fact that the revenge which she just called boring was actually planned by her own husband. "Also, I can't forget that she's the reason I have you in my life." Xu Mey really wished to argue until he said the last sentence.


"But she deprived you of your mother's love for all these years. She took your identity from you. Don't you think that's enough of a reason for her to reap what she sowed?" Xu Mey said feeling repugnant while even talking about Zhou Ning.


"I think I'll still choose to forget instead of making a huge mess for Mr. Ye. After all, he's innocent in this matter and if this whole thing blew up, Ye Jun and Mr. Ye will have to bear the consequences which I don't want." Xu Mey finally understood his real reason for letting Zhou Ning go so easily. He was worried for Ye Jun.


"Does Jun know about his mother?" asked Xu Mey cautiously.


"Yeah... I asked him before doing anything. I couldn't possibly leave him in the dark," replied Ye Jie.


"How is he taking it?"


"Actually, he's taking it better than I thought. He seems a lot mature than he used to be. I still can't leave him alone." Ye Jie's answer put her at ease. "You don't have to concern yourself about this. I know you're already buried under a lot of pressure from work. Let me know if you need any hel-" Before he could complete his sentence, he noticed Xu Mey had fallen asleep with her head on his shoulder. "You really are tired." He whispered softly and picked her up to take her back to the bedroom.
