Married to his secret crush

She scoffed, "Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. You just want some entertainment."

Mia swished her thick tail elegantly before batting her eyelashes. This woman is too smart! Sensing another presence, she disappeared immediately.

Yu Mei laughed derisively, "You cunning fox, did you think I'll fall into your trap? Now that I caught you, you just ran away. Huh…"

"Who are you talking to?" A familiar voice sounded beside her.

She stiffened and turned around to find Jun Zixuan walking towards her.

He removed his shoes and sat beside her.

''I was just trying a dialogue from a book."

"Which one?"

"You don't read novels so you won't know," She said, looking at his face under the moonlight.

He kept his phone beside him and glanced at her silently.

Under his probing gaze, she hesitantly opened her mouth to ask, "Is there something you want to ask?"

"You knew she was the Mayor's daughter. Weren't you afraid of getting yourself in trouble?" He asked.

She smiled at his question. "Maybe because I instinctively believed you'd protect me as you did."

I believed you'd protect me.

Something inside his heart stirred at that moment as he looked at her confident smile.

If she was still Han Mei, she would have been reckless without a care of the world because she was powerful enough to deal with the mess she created.

But as Yu Mei, she did not have the luxury to be like that. She would have relied on her wits to get out of that situation.

When things went overboard and that woman tried to beat her, she was already losing her temper. Her period cramps were more than enough for her to lose her reason.

Yu Mei was sure that she would not have taken that risk if he was not there.

She trusted him a little more than she should and it surprised her to some extent.

''But given your attitude yesterday, I thought we would be back to being enemies again," She grabbed his injured hand before looking at the layers of gauze wrapped around his palm, "Is it better now?"

Her heart ached thinking that she was indirectly responsible for it.

"It's fine," He hurriedly retracted his hand.

"Why are you so shy?" She laughed.

Jun Zixuan averted his gaze.

What she said was not wrong. After what Shi Luo told him about Han Mei, he somehow blamed Yu Mei Zhen for everything in his heart. If not for her constant pestering two years ago, he would not have changed his number.

In fact, if she had not been in his life, then nothing would have gone wrong with Han Mei.

He wanted to investigate Han Mei, to get to know more about her current situation, and try to help her somehow but Shi Luo's constant reminder of not contacting her bothered him.

He did not want to embarrass her or make her sad.

Amidst his contemplation, Gu Min came back and informed him about the conflict between Yu Mei and the Mayor.

The next thing he remembered he was already going to the ballroom to protect her, while being constantly concerned about the woman whom he was blaming earlier in his head.

She snapped his fingers in front of his face, "Knock Knock…You there?"

He snapped out of his daze.

She chuckled, "What were you thinking about?"

"I wish I could change some things in the past," He said, looking at the moon.

"Do you take yourself as omnipotent?" She slapped his shoulder, understanding what he was referring to, "Don't burden yourself with the past. No matter how powerful you are, some situations would always spiral out of your control. That's life, isn't it?"

He nodded, "It is."

She yawned.

Leaning her head against his shoulder, she closed her eyes, "I walked so far away from the crowd to sit here alone. But, now, I don't want to walk back to the resort. Can you get the car here?"

"You are so lazy," Putting his fingers on her forehead, he pushed her away.

"Lazy sounds ugly. That's called selective participation," She glared at him before leaning onto him yet again, "As in…I want to mango but don't wanna remove the seed and skin."

He was speechless at her choice of example.

He glanced at the woman who can easily pass of as the combination of a human koala and panda.

Shaking his head, he wrapped one arm around her shoulder and the other near her waist before standing up, holding her in a princess carry.

She was stunned. How could he carry her so easily?

She eagerly pinched his biceps, "Damn, you're so strong…" Her other hand took a feel of his pectoral muscles, "Woah…So hard.."

His face darkened. Did this woman forget his gender?

"If you don't stop doing that, then I'll throw you into the sea."

"You won't do that," She said hesitantly.

"Try me."

"_"

She removed her hand from his private assets.

"Wait…my shoes.."

"You have many of them."

Fine, you are the boss.

It was their last day in Shanghai, she sighed thinking that the small vacation will be over tomorrow. They were enemies when they came here. Who could have thought they will end up as friends before they return?

She chuckled.

"What are you laughing for?"

"Nothing," She leaned closer to him feeling the cold breeze graze past her body.

…

The next day.

Beijing

As they disembarked from the private jet, Yu Mei kept glancing at Jun Zixuan with a probing gaze.

She found herself at a loss again.

"Stop looking at me like a creep," The man coldly said without looking at her.

She cleared her throat before averting her gaze.

"Chief…'' A man called out in English.

Both of them paused in their tracks and a man in his mid-thirties walked out of them.

And this person was the exact reason behind Yu Mei's shock. This person was their pilot.

"Alex," Jun Zixuan nodded at the man.

Alex was not only a licensed pilot but also the Director of Operations of Royal Jets, one of the largest private jet companies.

And she came to know that the man was working under Jun Zixuan.

So, basically, this guy did not have a single jet. He was the owner of the whole company.

The days when they came to Shanghai, she did not get to see the man. So, it came as a shock at the moment.
