Married to his secret crush

How embarrassing was it that the whole time she insisted Jun Zixuan and her were friends but now Shi Luo stumbled upon them in such a situation?

"Why did you come here for?" She asked, in hopes of switching the topic.

Shi Luo opened her mouth to speak but paused looking at Jun Zixuan, "Well, nothing much," Her tone remained casual.

Yu Mei nodded, "I\'m getting late. I\'ll leave now. Let\'s talk later." It was better to sneak away before Shi Luo starts talking about Jun Zixuan and her, especially in his presence.

"Mei…"

The pitiful voice made her footsteps come to a halt. She turned around to look at the man who walked towards her.

"Good night," He held the back of her head before pressing a soft kiss on her forehead, "Dream about me."

She could almost feel the steam coming off her cheeks given how warm they felt.

As the man took a step away from her, she retreated a bit, all the while not looking at him.

"Mei, I thought you both were friends," Shi Luo fluttered closer to the couple, "Why do I smell love in the air?"

Yu Mei narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the woman coldly, "You are smelling too much," But her red face was betraying the composure she faked.

Without giving anyone a chance to tease her further, she flipped her hair and walked away from them.

Shi Luo shook her head looking at her retreating back. What a sneaky woman! \'I\'ll see where you will run off to when we meet alone. I am going to squeeze out all the juicy gossips from your mouth,\' She thought.

"You both seemed to be very close," Jun Zixuan\'s deep voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

Gone was that pitiful tone he used while talking to Yu Mei, he was back to his aloof mode. This man!!

"We are," Shi Luo glanced at him for a moment before letting out a soft sigh, "On that basis, I\'ll tell you something."

Jun Zixuan glanced at her as he raised an eyebrow, "And what is that?"

Shi Luo smiled looking at Yu Mei who just walked past the university gates, "The people who pretend that they don\'t have feelings always love the hardest. It\'s just a defense mechanism," She paused for a moment before adding, "Especially in her case."

…

The next days were pretty much like her usual schedule. Gym, classes, then extra classes at Ren Mansion.

From that day, nobody mentioned the kiss. Although Yu Mei was initially awkward around Jun Zixuan but the man acted like nothing ever happened between.

It was like a big gust of relief to her but it also caused a small uncomfortable feeling in her chest which was forcefully poked and tampered with by her.

As the final examinations have started, she has shifted the majority of her focus towards her studies.

The company was doing pretty well except for the fake CEO\'s continuous scandals but she had decided to not interfere in for now.

As Yu Mei entered the Ren Mansion, the servants all bowed to her at a ninety-degree angle, "Young Mistress," they greeted in unison some birds singing in chorus.

She had asked them to not greet her as such but they won\'t budge. It seems like her mother-in-law\'s influence on them was strong.

Sighing, she ascended the stairs and walked towards the Master Bedroom while stretching her body.

Today was her English exam. All questions were fine to her except for the Essay. It was not like she couldn\'t write an essay but her points are completely logical without emotions involved which gets her marks deducted every single time. Then again, she was not trying to be the country topper. It should be fine as long as she passed.

She raised her hand towards the doorknob but paused for a moment. Lowering her head, she looked at the short blue dress she was wearing.

"Hey, wait…" She turned around hearing the sounds of some approaching footsteps.

The young girl paused in her tracks and turned around before bowing, "Young Madam."

"Uhh...Well...What\'s your name?"

"Kelly."

Yu Mei smiled, "Kelly, can you tell me how I am looking today?" There was a hint of nervousness in her eyes that she wasn\'t aware of.

Kelly couldn\'t help but smile, "You\'re beautiful as always," The young girl said in her child-like voice. It was not a lie. To her, Yu Mei was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. And today, she was especially beautiful.

It seemed like she had dolled up for?Master. The young servant thought to herself.

Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, her face had light makeup and she was donned in a beautiful sleeveless blue dress that reached above her knees. As simple as her dress was, her stunning features and hourglass body emphasized her beauty.

Unknowingly, Yu Mei\'s lips stretched in a wide smile as she patted the girl\'s head, "Thank you, Kelly."

Kelly smiled back as she bowed again.

Yu Mei held her shoulder before helping her up, "You don\'t need to do this. It makes me feel old," She laughed, waving her hand.

Kelly couldn\'t help but giggle as she turned around to leave, all the while thinking how unique their Young Mistress was. She was nothing like the rich ladies she had met or worked for before.

"What a cute girl…." Yu Mei sighed as she turned around to look at the closed door.

She felt her heart beating faster all of a sudden and she had the sudden urge to slap that thing or turn it off.

But then again, second life was already rare. A third life would possibly be as extinct as dinosaurs.

She twisted the doorknob and stepped inside, "Zixuan, today-" The rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
