Married to his secret crush

"Are you looking for this?" Jun Zixuan pointed at the phone in his hand.

"Why do you have that?" Her eyes widened.

He raised an eyebrow, "I got interested in your recent searches."

She snatched the phone from him before using her fingerprint to unlock it.

'How to wash dishes properly?' The recent search results popped out and she pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You didn't need to lie about it," The man pointed out and she had the sudden urge to find a suitable hole to hide inside.

She would have told the truth that she did not know how to do all these household works but the previous owner knew how to do all these. And that bothered her. Wouldn't he think that she was lying so that she wouldn't have to do it?

Well… Let it be… She can't reverse what has already happened so it's better to continue acting cool.

Moreover, even though her screen lock was her fingerprint, she felt glad that she had installed a separate app lock for contacts, call logs, and texts.

Or else it would have been troublesome to explain her relationship with Shi Luo given their one-hour-long conversations that must be there in the call records.

"You are invading my privacy. How can you check my phone when I am asleep?" She diverted the topic.

"Just take it as the compensation for my shirt."

She looked at his white shirt and a portion of it near his abdomen was a little wet. She was reminded of how she pounced on him and cried.

Her fair cheeks turned red in an instant.

She quickly dragged her body out of the bed. Her legs were a bit numb as she tried to stand up with the help of the headrest, "You've been taking care of me. You should take a rest now. I'm leaving."

Just as she took a step, a hand grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Stay," The man whispered.

She froze before turning around to look at him. Holding his cheeks in both her hand, she lowered her head till their faces were inches apart.

His heart skipped a beat as he watched her face coming closer and closer until she pressed her forehead onto his.

"What are you doing?" He asked in a husky voice.

"I was just checking if you have a fever," she mumbled in a soft voice.

"Why do you think so?"

"Heard that they speak gibberish when the temperature is high. Fever makes people muddleheaded. Why else would you ask me to stay?" She stood straight before looking at him in confusion.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman coldly, "You're still sick. Nobody will get to know if you end up dying in your room."

She pursed her lips. Does it cost money if you speak a few nice words? Heartless creature!

She quickly slid inside the blanket, "If you insist, I'll gladly comply. Your bed is very comfortable," She sighed in satisfaction.

"Who said you're sleeping on the bed?" The man glanced at her coldly.

Yu Mei sat up on the bed before looking at him confusingly.

He pointed towards the couch.

She was speechless, "You…I am not sleeping there…I'll better go back to my room," She quickly walked towards the door.

But his cold voice stopped her in her tracks, "I own this place. If you don't want to make a snow house outside, then better sleep on the couch."

"Jun Zixuan, you crazy moody man, are you on your period?" She snarled at him but unbothered by her outburst, the man removed his white T-shirt revealing his muscular chest and those rock-hard abs that had a golden sheen on them under the candle lights.

Looking at his face, she couldn't tell if he will really kick her out of the house if she didn't sleep on the couch.

She walked towards the couch before settling her body on it. The couch was very big and comfortable but for her enormous body, the space was insufficient.

She moved around a little trying to fit properly but there were some movements in her stomach, "Hey, are you asleep?" she glanced at the man sleeping on the bed.

"Yes," He replied without opening his eyes.

Her lips twitched, "I… Can you cook something for me? I am very hungry."

The man opened his eyes before looking at her blankly.

…

"Ugh…. Who drew the curtains open…?" Yu Mei rolled around in the bed as she squinted adjusting to the brightness.

Sitting on the king-sized bed, she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand before looking at her surroundings.

Wasn't she sleeping on the couch? She scratched the back of her neck.

After having the super tasty porridge made by the master chef Jun Zixuan, she remembered dozing off on the couch. Did he carry her to the bed?

She blinked, "No wonder he has such a nice body. He can even carry a sack like me," She mumbled before getting off the bed.

Maybe he isn't that cold-hearted as she painted him to be or else why would he bother with her?

She decided to thank him later.

At the breakfast table:

"Master, the weather is a lot better today. Will you go to work?" Steward Gu asked, standing beside Jun Zixuan.

The man nodded while spreading butter on the bread.

"The Mayor is trying to make an appointment for one month. Shall we deny him access inside the company?"

He paused his movements, "Fix it today, I'll meet him but keep the time short."

"Is thirty minutes fine?"

"Ten minutes."

The Steward was speechless. Master, he is the Mayor after all, shouldn't you give him some face?

He cleared his throat, "I apologize for what happened yesterday. If not for an emergency, I would not have asked for a leave," If it was not Madam's order to leave you both alone in the mansion, we all would have stayed here, he added in his thoughts.

"It was mom, wasn't it?" Jun Zixuan asked without raising his head.

Steward Gu stilled but nodded in the end, "In fact, one of us could have stayed here to serve you but since Miss Yu is good at cooking and other household works…"
