Married to his secret crush

''Did you know about this beforehand?" Yu Mei whispered as the mother and daughter duo walked towards the private room.

Jun Zixuan winked at her, a charming smile made its way on his lips as he leaned closer to her ear, ''Since we can't go to them, let's make them approach us,'' He whispered in a husky tone and moved away from her, not before nipping her earlobe.

Yu Mei glanced at him while rubbing her ear. Her face flushed slightly. This man was rather well-prepared.

She never thought that this mysterious client from her previous life would turn out to be Han Suyin, Li Na's biological sister, and Han Jingyi's mother.

''Here we are,'' Han Suyin smiled at both of them as she opened the door.

Han Jingyi glanced at her mother's gentle smile before looking over at the couple. Her gaze shifted to their intertwined fingers and she bit her bottom lips.

As they stepped inside the private room, Yu Mei's gaze went past the long dining table and the people sitting around it.

There was an old man seated on the head chair whom she recognized as Old Master Han. hH was none other than the person who fainted in front of her car.

On his left was a man in his 40s. Yu Mei was not sure but if her guess is right, then this man should be Han Suyin's husband and Han Jingyi's father.

Feeling a cold gaze on her, she tilted her head to look at the man sitting beside Mr. Han...

Jun Zixuan quietly observed the Han Family. They looked like that of a completely peaceful family but then, there was one missing piece of the puzzle.

Where do Han Jian Yu and Han Mei fit amongst them?

Old Master Han's brows tugged together.

Han Suyin cleared her throat, ''Father, she is...''

''I know them,'' The old man waved his hand, ''She saved me.''

''Mei is the one who saved you?" Han Suyin asked in a surprised tone. Initially, everyone in their family knew Jun Zixuan because of him being the Jun Family's son and Han Jingyi's fiance but now his identity was much more prestigious than that.

But it came as a surprise that her father-in-law knew Yu Mei.

Old Master Han nodded wordlessly.

Han Jing stood up at the mention of this, ''She is...''

''Li Na's daughter, Yu Mei Zhen,'' There was an undecipherable emotion in her tone as she took the name.

Yu Mei Zhen.

Han Jingyi clenched and unclenched her fist until her knuckles turned pale.

''Mei Zhen...'' Han Jing murmured in a daze.

Yu Mei and Jun Zixuan exchanged glances.

Old Master Han cleared his throat and Han Jing snapped out of his daze, ''President Jun,'' Han Jing nodded at the man.

Jun Zixuan nodded back at him.

Han Jing then focused his gaze on the woman standing next to him, ''Come come...You both can join us for dinner,'' His voice softened.

Han Suyin glanced at Jun Zixuan and Yu Mei, ''He is my husband, Han Jing. You can call him Uncle,'' She then averted her gaze to the man sitting beside Han Jing, ''He is Han Liyun, Jingyi's elder brother and your cousin. You should know father already...''

Yu Mei nodded but her gaze was focused on Han Liyun. He looked to be around her brother's age as he sat there quietly with an aloof expression on her face without bothering to look at her.

But there was something amiss with him.

''Mom, you are taking too much time in introductions,'' Han Jingyi said all of a sudden as she smiled sweetly, ''It's time for dinner. I will help Cousin later if she has any doubts...''

''Yes,'' Han Suyin patted her back, feeling relieved that her daughter was sensible. She initially thought that Han Jingyi would not be able to take Yu Mei's and Jun Zixuan's relationship well but it seems like she was overthinking.

She was rather shocked that both of them are married but she decided to discuss it with Han Jingyi later to ensure that she really does not holds any hope.

Jun Zixuan pulled a chair for Yu Mei and she took a seat. He then sat beside her.

The little interaction between them was not missed by the Han Family's keen gaze.

Han Jingyi who was sitting beside her brother, Han Liyun lowered her head as she focused on her food.

The dinner table was quiet to the point that it felt awkward but the couple who were their guests were quite comfortable as they served the food for each other.

Jun Zixuan carefully deshelled a shrimp as he placed it in Yu Mei's bowl and she served him some greens.

Old Master Han narrowed his eyes. This boy seems to really love his wife. He had known Jun Zixuan for years and has interacted with him quite a few times but he has never seen him being this attentive towards anyone. Even though those Juns called him a trash and unfeeling child but he was always sure that this boy was bound to soar one day.

Han Jing dazedly stared at Yu Mei as her name resounded in his mind, again and again, an unbearable ache remained there in his chest.

Han Suyin on the other hand glanced at the couple as a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. If Li Na was here, she would have been really happy to see her daughter being cherished and loved like this.

Nobody could tell what Han Liyun was thinking as he glanced and Han Jingyi and then and the couple before staying quiet.

Everyone had different thoughts and the atmosphere during the dinner was eerily quiet.

The silence was broke as Han Suyin cleared her throat.

Yu Mei tilted her head to the side.

''We still have to thank you for saving Father's life,'' She said.

''It was what I got to do...'' Yu Mei replied in a polite tone although nonchalantly.

There were rather some doubts in Han Suyin's mind and she hesitated a bit before opening her mouth, ''If you don't mind, can I ask you something?"

''Yes,'' Yu Mei responded as she felt Jun Zixuan stroking the back of her palm reassuringly under the table.

''You have been in Amaranthine for a long time but according to what I know, you have been staying in the Yu Family all this while...''

Ah...Yu Mei did not need her to complete the sentence to understand what is going on. As expected, Han Suyin must have already investigated her when she got to know that she is her niece.

Han Suyin had met Han Mei in Amaranthine a few times but Yu Mei was in Yu Family all this while.

How can one person appear at both places?

A tricky question indeed.

Han Jingyi's fingers applied pressure on the chopsticks as she lowered her head even further, her expression was unreadable.

The question got everyone's attention in an instant and Yu Mei's silence left them intrigued.

Usually, Yu Mei would not talk to random people about her personal life but the Han Family was different... If she has to look for what happened back then, she can't dodge their questions.

They are treating her like family from the first day but in reality, aren't they just testing waters?
