Married to his secret crush

"Master, shall I drive over to the headquarters? The directors are be waiting for you," Steward Gu spoke up as soon as he got inside the car as he looked at the man through the rear-view mirror.

Yesterday, his Master was reluctant when he left Ren Mansion while the Young Mistress still was sleeping. Then, the whole day, all the employees suffered from the man's poisonous tongue whenever they made a mistake. While the third meeting of the day, he could not endure his lovesickness anymore and left halfway through the meeting.

Jun Zixuan glanced at his wristwatch, "Drive over there," He said after looking at the time.

"Alright, Master."

"Wait," His brows tugged together slightly, "Mei hasn't had her breakfast yet. Ask them to deliver the food to her room."

Steward Gu: "_" Master, with such privileged treatments, the other girls in the university might start competing with Young Mistress for you.

Alas, the poor him did not say anything and simply did as he was told.

While a certain someone finally decided to spare his work a little bit of his attention, the certain someone's wife laid on the bed, daydreaming about everything that was going on between them these days.

Her fingers stroked her lips as she thought back to the way his lips sucked hers and her body turned hot at the mere thought of his touches.

A blush crept up her cheeks as she rolled on the small bed before grabbing the pillow and burying her face in it. "I am done for...I am done for," She mumbled, realizing how she was getting trapped in the things she had decided to stay away from.

'Knock Knock'

She stiffened for a moment and sat up on the bed. Her hair fell over her shoulders like a bird's nest which had just survived a typhoon as she dumbly stared at the closed door and blinked.

Is it him? She quickly jumped out of the bed and walked towards the door. He must have realized that he shouldn't leave in a fit of anger and came back to have a proper conversation with her.

She paused right in front of the door and quickly ran towards the mirror before adjusting her hair with her fingers and then smoothening the creases on her clothes.

Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the door and twisted the doorknob.

"I know that-" She paused, looking at the person standing in front of the door.

She recognized the woman whom she had seen in the cafeteria many times.

"Miss, your breakfast," The lady staff politely handed her the takeout as she bowed and left.

Unaware of the jealous gazes of the girls in the dorm, Yu Mei dazedly closed the door and walked inside the room holding the takeout in her hand.

She kept the food on the study table and sat on the chair before covering her face in both her palms, "Ahhh...I'm so stupid, so dumb. This is the girls' dormitory, not a garden, how can I expect him to go and come so freely?" She paused for a moment. Did he face any problems when he left? She hoped not.

Amidst all these, she misunderstood a few things. First, Jun Zixuan left in a fit of anger. Second, the cafeteria staff was being responsible by delivering the breakfast as they were paid highly by Jun Zixuan.

Later that afternoon.

"Mei, stop stuffing yourself with food, That won't solve any of your problems," Shi Luo sat atop the dining table with her legs dangling as she stroked the top of her friend's head.

Yu Mei put the spoon down and wiped her face with a napkin, "I was hungry. It doesn't have anything to with problems, okay?"

"But you're this hungry when your mind is in a mess," Looking at the woman who was ready to protest, she shook her head and continued, "Don't bother denying it, sweetie. I know you better than anyone else."

Yu Mei glanced at her for a moment and sighed as she explained everything to her.

Shi Luo stroked her chin with her index finger in contemplation, "Mei, how can you call him your friend after all those steamy sessions between you both?" She pushed her messy braid to the back and jumped off the dining table before adjusting the oversized T-shirt she was wearing, "That was too cruel of you."

Yu Mei pursed her lips, "I...I didn't mean it like that. I mean I did not expect Li Shuang to come there suddenly. I just did not want to bother explaining everything so I said whatever came to my mouth and sounded convenient."

It was not that she was hiding anything from Li Shuang or she wanted to. It was just a long and messy story. From the previous owner's mother's death to her marriage to Jun Zixuan, everything was so complicated to explain that she just blurted out whatever sounded simple to her.

Shi Luo shook her head as she took a seat beside her, "Who the fuck in this world smooches their friend? That cunning man is fooling you and you're getting fooled by him. I told you....from the very first day, he had his gaze set on you."

Yu Mei blinked, "You...It's not like that. He has someone he loves," She twiddled with her fingers as she spoke.

But the jealous streak in her words was like loud ringing of bells to Shi Luo who pursed her lips, "Two lives. This is your second life already but you're still so stupid when matters revolve around Jun Zixuan," She paused for a moment looking at her friend's 'I am confused' expression before she added, "What do you think is the possibility that this so called love of his you?"

"Zero," Yu Mei replied within a beat.

"What if you're wrong?"

"I-"

"Ssshhh," Shi Luo pressed a finger on her lips, "Keep your voice down. Jinhai is sleeping."

Yu Mei paused for a moment. Oh, in all these things, she forgot that she had a younger brother now. Her lips tugged up in a soft smile at that but it soon disappeared, "I am sure it isn't me."

Shi Luo, who noticed how fast her expressions were changing simply shook her head. People in love are crazy.

I'll better stay away from such things, she thought to herself.

"How are you so sure?"
