Married to his secret crush

As Yu Mei scrolled down the chat, the links sent by Shi Luo irked her.

The stock price of Rosette keeps on plummeting. While the higher-ups are keeping their mouths shut regarding the disappearance of their CEO, the company is facing the ire of the rival companies and one could not say how long it will be able to withstand the pressure.

If things go on like this, Rosette might go bankrupt within a few weeks? That fast? She contemplated it.

It has been more than one month since her death and the last designs she prepared were all in her drafts.

Even if other designs were introduced in the last month but none of them belonged to her and this attracted the attention of media and news reporters.

Because everyone knew that CEO and chief designer of Rosette, Leanne would design at least one piece of jewelry every month.

Leanne was her English name and she was the CEO of the leading jewelry brand Rosette.

Standing at the sidelines while watching her own company getting destroyed left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Yu Mei was sure that Shi Luo was provoking her on purpose so that she would take some action.

But she had her concerns.

Those people killed her just because she was a Han and they seemed to know everything about her past and present. What if they knew that she was the CEO of Rosette?

If she emerged all of a sudden to take over the position of CEO with a plan, what if they send more people to kill her?

Nobody would believe in something like transmigration or rebirth, but her face was slowly changing back to her past face. Although the resemblances were few and not everyone will link her to Han Mei but what about those murderers?

What if her face completely transformed back to her past looks after she loses weight?

Those people have seen the crimson crescent birthmark on her chest which was now coming back with every change in her facial features.

The Hans were so paranoid that they sent a?hundred mercenaries to kill her even when she didn't do anything, and she believed they would repeat that to kill 'Yu Mei Zhen' even if they had 0.01% doubt regarding her.

Unfortunately, right now she was powerless to face it all. She didn't have her brother's backing nor her own influence.

As for Jun Zixuan, though he seemed to be very influential and powerful but she didn't want to ask him for help.

''If it was before when he was just a trophy husband, I could have tricked him into helping me. But now that we are friends, I don't want to take advantage of him…" She mumbled to herself before slumping on the bed before covering her face with the pillow.

Was there no way to do this without implicating herself?

Suddenly, something clicked in her mind.

Yes...She could try that.

She sat up on the bed in an instant. "Damn...my waist..." How could she forget her current weight and do these stunts?! She cursed herself.

Letting out a deep sigh, she clicked the picture of the outline of the pendant she designed today.

After getting a good picture, she downloaded Instagram and set up an account with the username 'Mei_Zhen'.

She closed her eyes before taking a deep breath and typing 'Old man Xiang' but to her dismay, there were no search results.

"Dammit…Why is it like this?" She remembered that was what the staff members called him. What was his full name again?

She regretted not interacting with her staff members in a better way.

She frowned hard trying to remember the man's full name.

Suddenly reminded of the name she read while interviewing him, she opened her eyes before typing 'Xiang Le' and this time there were search results.

The third account caught her attention. The profile picture was that of a 50-year old man with a stern countenance and properly trimmed beard.

"Woah…Old Man Xiang is rocking it…" She sighed in relief before sending him the picture she clicked along with a short message.

It was later that afternoon when Jun Zixuan came back.

He looked at the woman who was sleeping on the bed peacefully with a mess around her. There was an empty bowl near her head while she held what looked like a notebook in her arms.

Her cellphone was lying on the crook of her neck. Her long dark hair was in a mess as it framed her round chubby face.

He was speechless. "She looks like she survived a disaster…." He murmured to himself before walking towards the bed and sitting beside her.

Somehow she did not feel like the same woman who used to inflict self-harm to get his attention, the one who would always scheme against others and the one he used to loathe.

But she was Yu Mei Zhen, undoubtedly.

If anyone would have told him that there would be a day when he would watch her sleeping face, then he would have laughed at them, worse, he could have slapped them to smack some senses in their head.

But here he was, doing something that was so unlike of him.

He gently removed the phone from her neck and put it on the bedside table. She must be using it when she fell asleep and it landed straight at her.

He chuckled imagining that hilarious scene. What a cartoon!

Looking at her smooth round cheeks, he raised his hand on an impulse and poked her cheek with his index finger.

It bounced back like a fluffy jelly cake.

He bit his bottom lip before doing it again and it wiggled a little this time.

The corner of his lips tilted up as he poked it twice, thrice and it kept on repeating until she grabbed his finger before putting it in her mouth.

He stilled.

Her sketchbook fell to the side while she placed her other hand on his wrist, keeping his arm in place.

Just as he tried to take his finger out of her mouth, she pressed her teeth on it keeping it in place as he felt her tongue swirling around the tip of his finger, licking and sucking it.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He suddenly felt a bit hot.

As he looked at her lips, so naturally red and soft and…tempting… what the…. He closed his eyes. What was he thinking about?

Loosening his collar with the other hand, he tried to remove his finger from her mouth without waking her up.

If she woke up when they were in this position, she might casually say 'This is normal between friends.'

And it would only embarrass him further given the direction of his thoughts.

He sighed unaware of the fact that if she woke up at a time like this, she too would be pretty much embarrassed about this situation.

Even though she said that sleeping with friends is normal, the only friend she slept with was Shi Luo. He came in the second number and she was not awkward or embarrassed about it because as Han Mei, they were close friends.

So, she genuinely did not find anything wrong with sleeping with him under the same blanket without doing anything and just gazing and the moon and stars. According to her, that was what friends do, don't they?
