Married to his secret crush

Chapter 207 - So In Love



"It was dull, bleak, blank...anything but good."

She raised an eyebrow, "Why is that?" She grabbed a pillow and placed it in front of her before putting the phone there such that it was leaning against the pillow for support.

"My days are just so-so without you," The man sighed.

His casual words tugged her heartstrings. The corner of her lips twitched into a small smile, "Is it so?"

"Mm," Jun Zixuan glanced at the ceiling letting her have a view of his side profile, "How was your day?"

She blinked, "Exhausting. I went to the headquarters, then I accompanied Li Shuang to meet her grandpa and later Ah Jin got sick so I am here at Luoluo's place."

His brows tugged slightly as he turned his face towards the camera, "The guard informed me about your whereabouts so I knew you were at Shi Luo's place. But I didn't expect it to be about Ah Jin."

After the Zhu Boqin incident, Jun Zixuan assigned a secret guard for her who won't come out unless the situation was urgent and would always stay at a distance so as to not invade her privacy.

She wanted to deny to this arrangement but...

Once bitten twice shy.

If she considered her brother's advice and had not run away without her bodyguards, then she might not have died.

Mia only had the last tail left so there will be no third life for her. And she already owed her a tail. A little more debt and she will be buried under the ground.

So, this time it was better to stay out of risks.

"Today is his...our mother's death anniversary and since he was close to her so..." She sighed.

"Were you not close to her?"

She glanced at him blankly. It was rare for him to ask anything about her past or anything like that. After their fight, he never once mentioned Mia who was presented to him as her supposed daughter. Sometimes, she could not help but wonder about it.

Was it because she told him that she had her secrets? Or was it because he simply trusted her?

But wasn't he at least curious to know where did that daughter disappear to?

"Mei...''

She snapped out of her daze, "Huh? Yeah...Actually, I was not that close to her. As you know, I was a bit mentally unstable in the past," She cleared her throat, "Only after the accident did I get to see the world with a new perspective. You won't see me as someone crazy now, will you? Well, I Just-"

"I miss you," He interrupted her.

She blinked as her gaze landed on the empty side of the bed before she looked at him, "Me too..." She softly said as she grabbed the blanket and tucked herself properly, "When will you come back?"

"Within 2 days."

She raised an eyebrow, "I thought this business trip was supposed to last around a week," Steward Gu did say something like that.

"Any more than 48 hours, and my work efficiency will gradually decrease."

"Just say it aloud that you can't live without me," She tilted her chin, feeling a bit smug.

"You are overestimating yourself. I just miss home."

She froze for a split second as the man dragged her down from the seventh heaven, "You just can't be nice to me, can you?"

"Uh-huh,'' Home is where you are.

"Anyways, do you know today when I went to the company, the employees were still shocked and they....."

He glanced at her face in concentration as she talked about her day while looking at the ceiling.

"...and then I..." She yawned, "...went with S-Shuang..." She closed her eyes and licked her lips, her breathing turned even.

Jun Zixuan propped himself on his elbow as he glanced at his sleeping beauty, ''Good Night, Love.''

...

As the sunrays invaded through the glass windows and danced in the room, she covered her face with the back of her hand but alas the sun was too stubborn. It had to poke her eyes through the gaps. "Ughhh...Why can't the night last for 15 hours?"

"Because sleeping that much will convert you to a real panda. It will break my heart to have everyone running after my national treasure."

Her eyes snapped open in an instant as she sat up on the bed, "Zixuan, what are you doing here-?" She paused as she looked around the empty room.

"Here."

The voice made her turn her face to the side. "You didn't disconnect the call?" She was stunned.

"Waking up to your face is never a bad idea," Looking at the frown that graced her face, he added, "I did sleep. Just woke up earlier than you."

"That's better then," She sighed. She would have snapped at him if he had said that he did not sleep for the whole night. Her lips slowly curved up, "You are so in love with me, aren't you?" She asked as she stretched her body.

His gaze darkened as he glanced at the silk robe that slipped off her shoulder getting him a view of her deep cleavage. Her high messy bun revealed her smooth neck. As she stretched her body, her robe tugged up slightly giving him the view of those milky thighs and those prominent curves through that flimsy fabric.

"Are you seducing me on purpose?"

She paused, not understanding what he was saying. She followed his gaze and glanced at her half-naked body. "AH-" She quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself, "Where is your decency? Can't you avert your gaze?"

"Disconnect the call."

"What?" She frowned. Can't he do it?

"I can't bring myself to disconnect it and you are testing my patience right now," He removed the blanket and got off the bed giving her a blurry view of his muscular back that was soon out of her vision perhaps because he walked away from the camera, "I'm wrapping up all the work as soon as I can. Y=When I come back, you choose the location, I'll choose the position."

What position?

What location?

Was she becoming dumb or he was simply too smart? She tried to connect the dots as she hung up the call.

Seduce. Patience. Location. Position.

The keywords encircled in her mind and soon the realization dawned on her. Her face turned red and her body was hot in an instant. She bit her bottom lips. It is just 7 a.m. What is he thinking about so early?
