A new form of two-photon exchange (TPE) effect is studied to explain the discrepancy between unpolarized and polarized experimental data in elastic ep scattering. The mechanism is based on a simple idea that apart from the usual TPE effects from box and crossed-box diagrams, the mesons may also be exchanged in elastic ep scattering by two-photon coupling at loop level. The detailed study shows such contributions to reduced unpolarized cross section (sigma(un)) and polarized observables (P-t, P-l) at fixed Q(2) are only dependent on proton's electromagnetic form factors G(E,M) and a new unknown universal parameter g. After combining this contribution with the usual TPE contributions from box and crossed-box diagrams, the ratio mu(p)G(E)/G(M) extracted from the recent precise unpolarized and polarized experimental data can be described consistently.
