Married to his secret crush

Mu Shen cleared his throat, "No, I just noticed that you have washed the dress. It was dirty yesterday."

Li Shuang paused for a moment before nodding, "Thank you for lending me your shirt. I have cleaned it."

The man waved his hand, "No worries."

"I apologize for interrupting your moment yesterday and thanks again for letting me stay here," Li Shuang said with a straight face.

Mu Shen was reminded of how he had shouted at her for interrupting his soon to be done 'car sex'. But he failed to recognize her then as she had her head lowered. He suddenly felt ashamed about it for whatever reason it may be.

The film emperor scratched the back of his neck, "Uhh…Miss Li, there is nothing like that. We were not about to have car sex…wait...I mean, don't misunderstand me-"

"There is nothing to misunderstand, Mr. Mu. That's your private life we are talking about and it has nothing to do with me," Li Shuang raised an eyebrow and walked towards him.

Mu Shen paused. Yes, what she said sounded legit. "Alright, come, have breakfast with me," He pulled a chair for her.

Li Shuang shook her head, "No. I have already bothered you a lot. I was not myself yesterday and ended up coming here with you. I'll take my leave now."

Mu Shen frowned, "Let me drop you."

"Mr. Mu, we are strangers," She stated expressionlessly, "You don't need to do all this for me."

"We spent a night in one room. How are we strangers?" He blurted out whatever came to his mouth.

Li Shang's brow tugged together.

"Cough…I mean that we have already met twice. We should be more than strangers, right?"

The woman nodded nonchalantly, "Maybe. But I don't need you to drop me. I can go on my own."

Mu Shen furrowed his brows, "You won't get a cab here."

"I'll manage," She turned around and walked out of the door without looking back at him.

His jaws dropped. This woman…Why was she so cold?

It was very shocking for him to witness her sitting there on the roadside and crying like that. But after bringing her to his place, he just made sure she was comfortable and there was no mention of what happened to her. They were not close in the first place and it must have been tough for her as she did not look like a person who will whine at small things.

Alas, he did not think tears suited her. She was much better with that 'I don't give a fuck' cold and unapproachable face. But once again, they were not that close for him to say that to her.

He walked towards the mirror before looking at his face, "I'm still as handsome. How could she not talk to me softly? Weirdo!"

Who knew that there are women who would not spare the film emperor a second glance?

One alley away from the Glory Apartment.

Li Shuang took out her phone before making a call, "Send the driver to the alley behind Glory Apartment," She hung up as soon as she finished speaking. She turned around to look at the high building, "Thank you," Her face remained as aloof as ever.

…

"You don't need to rest?"

"Why are you looking at me like that? Focus on the road," She shrugged, "I really want to meet your mom. What's wrong with that?" She asked the man who was looking at her with that weird gaze.

Jun Zixuan cleared his throat before looking ahead, "Mei, what are you planning?"

"Haven't fought with my mother-in-law for a long time. So, I was just craving it."

He pursed his lips.

She rolled her eyes, "You really think I'm going to do that?"

"Who knows?" He muttered under his breath.

"Do you think I am such a violent person who will always look for quarrels and fights?" She narrowed her eyes.

The corner of his lips twitched, "No, baby. How can that be? Calm down."

She squinted, "We can stay there for a few days and you can work from home. Ask Steward Gu to drop Ah Jin there after school."

"And why do you suddenly want to stay with Mom?"

"Well, I don't have much work and I am getting bored of staying at Ren Mansion all the time," She averted her gaze as the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

The real reason behind it was that she knew that her mother-in-law is sick and is still in the recovery stage.

Shen Lihua always stayed alone at that villa and it has been concerning her for a long time but because she was busy with her work and a lot have happened during these months, she did not get the chance to contemplate further about all this.

Now that they had time, they could go there and spend some time with her.

Alas, it was just a bit awkward to voice it out so she made up random excuses.

Jun Zixuan glanced at her side profile and his eyes twinkled slightly as he averted his gaze. Did she think he won't know what was going on in her mind?

In fact, he had been planning this too but since she was quite busy in the past few days, he decided to discuss it with her after she is done with everything.

He never thought she will insist to go there now.

"We're here," He alighted the car and walked to the other side before opening the door for her.

"I can walk," She quickly raised her hand defensively.

He narrowed his eyes, "As if I am letting you step your feet on the ground," In the next second, she found herself in his arms.

"We're going to meet your Mom. Where would I put my face if we go there like this?"

"She will be happy to see us like this."

She frowned, "Uhh...Why are you so stubborn?"
