Married to his secret crush

"Its price is somewhere near tens of billions,'' Shi Luo said, looking at the gown in admiration and shock. Her face stiffened suddenly, ''Didn't you say that you are penniless? Wait…Don't tell me you purchased it with my credit card?" As Yu Mei nodded, she was left staring at her in disbelief.

"Why? Didn't you say that you would pamper me now that I'm poor?" Yu Mei blinked.

Shi Luo sighed, "Of course, I said that. It's just a dress with a wide price tag. I earn a lot but spend less. You can spend my money as you wish. By the way, you look slim in this dress."

Even though the hefty amount will leave a huge hole in her bank balance. It was fine with her as long as her friend was happy.

With that, she took a sip from the glass of water.

Yu Mei's lips twitched. I look slim because Mia did some magic. But she didn't tell her about that. If this worrywart came to know about the existence of the fox, she would be more worried about her.

'The moment you tell about my existence to someone, the consequences will not be good,' Mia spoke up in her mind.

Yu Mei was speechless, "Zixuan got this for me," She said, looking at Shi Luo.

"Pff…" Water splattered out of the woman's mouth. She picked up a few tissues before cleaning her face and dress. "Where the hell did your 'Jun' go to? I remember a few days ago, you were treating him like an enemy. How did you guys become so intimate? And…Why would he give you this dress? How could I forget…Why did he even bring you to this high-profile party?'' Shi Luo bombarded her with questions.

"Eh...Because we are friends again…?'' Looking at her exaggerated expressions, Yu Mei spoke softly.

"En," Shi Luo rubbed her head, "Mei, I believe that even if you are having sex with him, you will say 'We had it because we are friends', isn't it?"

Yu Mei frowned, "Enough. What are you talking about?'' She looked at the woman coldly.

Shi Luo was unbothered by her glares, "Let's talk about anything else then," As long as you can resist the temptation of a man like Jun Zixuan, I'll take my hats off to you.

"Why did you say that this is a high-profile party?" Yu Mei asked.

"Didn't you see the guests?"

Yu Mei nodded, "I recognized a few of them."

"Only a few?" Shi Luo clicked her tongue, "You don't know much about this place. So, let me tell you, all these people present here are the aces in their fields. Let it be industrialists, actors, people from medical field or military."

"Is it so?" Yu Mei frowned, "I saw some Presidents of distant countries too. Why are they even here?"

Shi Luo picked up a wine glass before taking a sip elegantly, "It's rumored that the people of Eminence group and companies will be here. They are saying that the CEO of Eminence is also here in Shanghai."

Yu Mei's eyes widened, "Eminence as in…."

"Yes, that's the same we are talking about. The business empire which has been ruling the business world for the past 8 years. Apart from the business sector, it is said that the CEO of Eminence has enormous influence in politics and the military. He is one of the most powerful figures in the world," Shi Luo explained.

Yu Mei listened attentively. She was aware of this enigma's existence whose power and influence wasn't less than her brother's; possibly a notch higher than him.

"Who this person? Even Jian Yu does not know anything about him."

"Mei…" Shi Luo hesitated for a bit.

"What?"

"Do you think Jun Zixuan…er…"

Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, "What about him?"

"According to what I saw, those big shots were hovering around him like a fly, constantly bootlicking him while he didn't even respond to them. Nobody else is getting such importance in this party. I..think he is the CEO of Eminence," The more she spoke, the more Shi Luo was confident her guess could be true.

Yu Mei glanced at her.

Back to the balcony.

Jun Zixuan kept looking at the picture on his phone. The girl was holding his hand, urging him to smile while he looked at the camera not being able to go against her aggressive persuasion. Contrary to his forced smile, she was smiling ever so brightly.

After his marriage, he changed his number. He thought that after his mother's complete treatment, he will get rid of Yu Mei Zhen. He never once stayed in a close space with her despite their relationship.

He thought he could finally go back to Han Mei after his divorce but he could not even save her from her sufferings.

"Brother Xuan."

He locked the phone, the screen turned pitch black in an instant.

"What is it?'' Jun Zixuan glanced at Gu Min.

"The Chairman of World bank is here and the rest of the guests are looking for you," Gu Min walked towards the man.

"Send them back. I'm not meeting anyone."

"What?!" Gu Min was stunned, "They all are here for you, is it fine to shun them away like this?"

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes, "Did I stutter?"

The young secretary gulped, "I got it. I'll do as you say."

Just as he turned around to leave, Jun Zixuan spoke up, "How is mom?"

"Elder brother said Madam is taking her medications lately. Although her condition is not improving that much but it is not worsening like before. So, the doctors are optimistic about it."

"Alright, you can leave."

"Yes."

In the main hall.

"That's impossible," Yu Mei shook her head, "Zixuan can't be the CEO of Eminence group of companies."

Shi Luo frowned, "And why are you so sure?"

"Eminence is ruling over the business world for 8 years already. Not to mention the CEO of the enormous empire has been unifying all business throughout this period….
