Married to his secret crush

Chapter 206 - Stingy Luoluo



"Did he sleep?"

"Shh..." Yu Mei slowly stood up from the bed as she tucked Yu Jinhai in the blanket before walking out of the room followed by Shi Luo, "Let him sleep more for today. Since he has exams tomorrow, inform his school that he will be there by the second half," Yu Mei settled on the couch.

"What happened to him? He vomited everything he ate and suddenly started crying. Ah Jin is usually not like that. Even though he is not cheerful all the time, but he is never this chaotic. I panicked today."

"It's all my fault," Yu Mei rubbed her forehead, "I completely forgot that today is his mother's death anniversary."

"Logically, she should be your mother too."

"I don't know about that but as a woman, I do respect her a lot," She sighed, "Mistress or not, she did her best to protect her children from all the storms. She even arranged a betrothal between Yu Mei Zhen and Jun Zixuan so that her daughter would be safe under her friend's wings if anything happens to her in the future. That's a different thing that her daughter never appreciated her efforts. But to me, she was a strong and resilient woman who withered because of the circumstances."

Shi Luo nodded, "That's true. She must have her own struggles in that family."

"Ah Jin has gone through a lot of torment. What hurt him more than the Yu Family was the attitude of his biological sister towards him. Sometimes, she would lock him in the darkroom. Hell, she once sold him off to a bunch of child traffickers. Although he is attached to me now, but there is still that deep fear instilled in him that one day I would not love him like before," Yu Mei leaned back on the couch as she glanced at the ceiling.

Usually, she did not judge the previous owner as she thought whatever she did must have some reason behind it, be it slitting her wrist for Jun Zixuan or scheming against everyone. But at times like this, Yu Mei labeled her as a 'bitch' in her heart. She detested her mother for being a mistress. That's her opinion. But what did this innocent child do to deserve her hate? Why must he go through all these torments?

Shi Luo inched closer to Yu Mei before patting her shoulder, "Leave it to time. I think Ah Jin will heal slowly. We just have to be patient with him and even though he won't be able to forget those painful memories, we can at least create some good new ones."

"You're right."

"Mei, do you think Li Na was murdered?"

"You think the Yu Family killed her?" As Shi Luo nodded, Yu Mei shook her head, "I have the memories. She passed away from a brain stroke.''

Shi Luo sighed, "Anyways, I told Mom that I met her old best friend and she is now excited to reunite with your mother-in-law."

"That's good. You can drive her there when you're free. I'll inform her."

Shi Luo nodded, "Lately, Mom has been asking me about you. I don't know how to answer her."

"You have told her about me?"

"No, I mean Han Mei," Shi Luo's brows tugged together, "I can't tell her that you're dead, can I? Her reactions will be extreme."

Yu Mei massaged her forehead, "You are giving me a headache."

'Ring...Ring..'

She glanced at her phone and the corner of her lips tugged up when she saw the caller ID.

Shi Luo stood up, "Here is your pain reliever," She rolled her eyes, "I am off to sleep. You can also talk to him in your room." She waved her hand and walked away.

Just as Yu Mei was about to swipe the answer option, the call got disconnected. She pouted. But in the next second, her phone started ringing again. And this time, it was not a voice call anymore but instead he was face timing her.

She stood up from the couch in a flash, "I must be looking like a female witch right now," She dashed inside the room before standing in front of the mirror. She quickly adjusted her messy hair and glanced at her reflection.

Luckily, she looked decent.

Adjusting her robe a little, she quickly answered the call only to be greeted by that handsome face staring at her with eyes full of complaints.

Jun Zixuan was sleeping on the bed with his ash-blonde hair in a mess. His upper body was naked till as much as she could see as the blanket blocked her vision.

It was illegal to be this hot! She shouted in her heart.

And the phone was probably leaning against some pillow in front of him. "Hey," She instantly regretted greeting him this way. It was way too awkward when you are used to being around each other but suddenly you have to hold your conversation on the phone.

"Why would you not answer my calls?" His deep voice made her toes curl.

She gulped. "I just missed your first call and I answered the second one, didn't I?" She turned off the lights only leaving the bedside lamps on. Switching on the air conditioner, she closed the door before climbing on the bed.

"After so many rings. Don't you think you are heartless towards me?" His deep eyes bored into hers, making her forget that there was a phone between them. For a split second, it was like he was right next to her.

"I've never been heartless towards you," She blinked. Sometimes, she has been angry at him, fought with him, didn't talk with him for days but that apart..."Your accusations are baseless."

"We will talk about that when you fight with me the next time," The man moved his arm towards the front and she could see his muscles flexing at the slightest movement.

What kind of air conditioner is this? Why was she feeling so hot? This Shi Luo is too stingy. She earns so much but uses such low-quality appliances.

"How was your day?" She changed the topic while reciting in her mind 'Think no evil, see no evil'.
