Married to his secret crush

Jun Zixuan nodded before pointing his chin towards the quiet hallway connected to the grand ballroom.

As they walked past the dance floor, Yu Mei stood at the place they were standing earlier as she watched at their retreating backs.

"Are they catching up with each other?" She raised an eyebrow.

Earlier she received a notification from Instagram after talking to Shi Luo. Thinking that Old man Xiang has finally seen the text she sent him, she hurriedly checked it only to be betrayed by the internet connection.

She was so focused on it that she did not notice when Shi Luo entered.

Alas, it was just a notification indicating that someone liked her profile picture. She had randomly clicked the picture of her fox and saved it to complete the profile process.

When she finally noticed Shi Luo, both of them were already walking away.

She contemplated whether to go after them or not but at last, she decided to have one more pastry.

She looked at their backs before tilting her head to the side and glancing at the pastries, "I\'ll go there later…"

The grand ballroom had a round-shaped structure along with a dance floor in the middle. There were two hallways in the front and two in the back. While the entry and exit were on both sides with a red carpet connecting them end to end.

Walking down one of the narrow hallways, Jun Zixuan and Shi Luo were led to a beautiful balcony setup.

Sitting on the throne chairs on the 69th floor of the 7-star hotel, Terav, they could see the wonderful night view of Shanghai through the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass.

"How have you been?" Jun Zixuan asked looking at the glass in his hand, swirling the wine slowly.

Shi Luo folded her legs before leaning back on the chair. Adjusting her round glass, she replied to his question, "As amazing as ever."

Silence.

The place once again drowned in the quietness of the night.

Even though Jun Zixuan was not especially a chatterbox but conversing with him has never been so awkward. What happened to him? Shi Luo adjusted her round glasses again, focusing her sharp gaze on his face.

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes before tilting his head to look at the woman, "Seen enough?"

She didn\'t feel the least bit bothered or embarrassed being caught, "So…I bet you didn\'t invite me here to ask about my well-being. What is it?"

"How is Mei?"

She choked on her saliva.

"Cough…Cough…." She is your wife, you should know that better than me!

Patting her chest lightly, she let the gears in her mind run fast.

\'How is Mei?\'

According to the question and his tone, it sounds like he has no updates about her.

Secondly, after graduation, she had changed her contact number so possibly, Jun Zixuan doesn\'t have her number.

Possibly, he is less influential than Han Jian Yu which is why he failed to get any information about Mei.

But if he is not influential, why would those big shots wag their tails in front of him like dogs? Never mind, it\'s not the main point here.

Coming back to the point, if she answered this casually then he might ask her for Han Mei\'s contact number or address given that he was very close to her during university days.

Taking two plus two equals four…if she didn\'t handle this properly, that would lead to a whole heap of problems.

"Is it that difficult to answer?" His cold voice reverberated in the empty space snapping her out of her daze.

Eliminate the problem from its very root.

She finally came to a decision.

"Now that you mentioned her, I…I just suddenly missed her. It has been two years after our graduation and trust me when I never got to meet her after that," We just spent all the Fridays on clubbing, partying and movies, she added in her heart before continuing, "Earlier, she at least used to text or call me once in a week but soon those weeks turned into years."

"Why? What happened?"

"She was working as a waitress at a local bar so she was always busy."

"Waitress?\'\' The hand holding the wine glass trembled a bit before his grip on it tightened, "Didn\'t she want to pursue a career in designing? She has always been interested in that."

"She entered Crystal University because of a scholarship and her outfits and perfumes used to be financed by me, I forced her to use them. Designing? She could not afford those. And her self-respect never allowed to ask me for help," Babe, I am praising you to the heavens here. The corner of her lips slightly tugged up, "As for you, you used to be so close to her that she tried to contact you for help but you were never there for her. I got to know that much later."

She has heard from Mu Shen that Jun Zixuan changed his contact number so this shall go with her lies.

He glanced at her distressed face before asking, "How is she now?"

"She is very happy now. She fell in love with a waiter at that bar and they married within a month. She is a housewife now. She informed me over a phone call about her condition. They are busy in their lives since they are planning for their second child already."

He froze feeling a throbbing pain in his heart.

"Tsk… Back then, we all used to think that you both will be together given your extra sweet attitude towards her.\'\' In fact, it was true. They all used to think like that but things never proceeded in that direction between them and Jun Zixuan even left without bidding her proper farewell on the graduation day.
