Married to his secret crush

Chapter 250 - Tension Between The Brothers



"Zihao, what are you doing?" The woman who was walking behind Jun Zixuan asked softly as she eyed their entangled hands.

Yu Mei frowned. Even after being seen like this, the man did not bother to loosen his grip on her. 

Unlike the gentle and sweet-looking woman, Jun Zixuan was not up to any kind of talk or questions. He headed straight ahead towards them and wrapped an arm around her waist possessively while his other hand gripped Jun Zihao's wrist, "Get your hands off her."

"Who are you to tell me that?" Jun Zihao scoffed as he glanced at the man coldly. 

Yu Mei snapped out of her 'admiring Jun Zixuan's manly charm' daze as she spoke up, "He has mistaken me for someone else," she said with a straight face, feeling Jun Zihao's grip on her hand loosening at once.

Her man is so powerful. Her inner self was dancing for Jun Zixuan with two poms poms in her hands. 

"Quit lying," Jun Zihao narrowed his eyes at the woman who was clinging to his brother, "You are-"

"President Leanne," The woman who seemed to be somewhere around her mid-20s made her way towards them with a soft smile on her face.

Yu Mei glanced at her curiously, "You are...?"

"Su Ning," She extended her hand towards.

The name sounded familiar to her but she could not pinpoint where she heard it. Yu Mei took her hand before shaking it lightly, "Yu Mei Zhen."

"Of course, I know you," Su Ning smiled, "I am a big fan of yours since Rosette was started."

Yu Mei smiled, not knowing how to react to her genuine compliments.

She was mostly meeting bitches and bastards in the past few days so this sweet and cute lady seemed refreshing to her. 

"I saw the news about Zixuan and you. You both are in a relationship, aren't you?"

Zixuan? Yu Mei raised an eyebrow but she nodded. 

Su Ning's lips curved up even more, "I knew it. Those reporters were exaggerating things to make headlines."

"Ningning," Jun Zihao interrupted her. 

Su Ning glanced at him as realization dawned on her, "You don't recognize her?"

Jun Zihao did not bother saying anything.

And the woman took it as affirmative. "She is the CEO of Rosette," Su Ning glanced at Yu Mei apologetically, "My fiance is not well informed about all these."

'So, they are engaged,' Yu Mei was a bit surprised but she nodded slightly. 

"Ah, Zixuan, aren't you going to introduce them to each other?" Su Ning glanced at Jun Zixuan enthusiastically. 

"They know each other," The man nonchalantly said. 

Yu Mei stiffened. 

"You have seen his picture," He spoke beside her ear.

She sighed in relief, "Yes, I know him. Jun Zihao, my darling's elder brother."

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow as his fingers drew circles on her waist. 

She bit her lips. He must be doing it on purpose knowing how ticklish it was for her. 

"And you..." Jun Zixuan glanced at Jun Zihao indifferently, "You should have heard about her already. So, stay away from her."

Su Ning frowned, "Zixuan, there is some misunderstanding..."

"I don't care," Jun Zixuan interrupted her. Be it before or now, he was never close to this elder brother in name and he did not care if there were misunderstandings between them. 

Sensing the tension between the brothers, Yu Mei glanced at Su Ning meaningfully before she grabbed Jun Zixuan's hand, "Let's go inside. I want to take a nap," She leaned onto him, acting a little spoiled. 

His face softened, "Let's go," He picked her up in his arms. 

"Ah, I can walk."

"What conversation takes so long? I was waiting for you in the room," Jun Zixuan glanced at the woman in his arms, not having any intention to put her down.

"Uh..." Yu Mei was speechless. She lost track of time while talking to her brother. She even forgot to call Shi Luo. Not knowing what to say, she buried her face in the man's chest.

"They look so perfect together," Su Ning smiled.

Jun Zihao frowned as he glanced at their retreating backs. Han Mei would never act spoiled or coy to get a man's attention. So it is possible that they just look similar but they are too similar. And he was not convinced by it so easily.

He would have to test it in his own way. 

...

In the absence of Old Madam Jun and Old Master Jun, they were not interrupted by anyone on their way to the room. 

As soon as Jun Zixuan placed her on the bed, she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her. 

Not acting on his reflexes, he let himself fall beside her on the bed. "Are you trying to take initiative, hmm?" He asked as he slept properly while twirling her tresses in his fingers. 

She inched closer to him before settling her head on his shoulder, "No No...I don't do such shameless things. I am an innocent person. Don't accuse me of doing such things."

The corner of his lips twitched, "How about we recreate the scene from the restaurant right here? Like how you innocently took the initiative to-"

She pressed her palm on his mouth, "Hug me to sleep okay?"

He licked her palm causing her to retract it immediately.

"It's ticklish," She bit his chest, "Just hug me. No touching here and there."

"What am I? Your pillow?" Though he said that mockingly, he pulled her into his arms before dragging the blanket with the other hand to cover their bodies.

"Umm...So good," She sighed in satisfaction and within a few minutes, her breathing turned even. 

The moment she stopped moving, his gaze darkened slightly. He grabbed her hand before looking at her wrist that had turned red with the fingers imprint on it. 

He gently pushed her to the side and got off the bed. Soon, he walked back towards her with an ointment in his hands.

Grabbing her palm, he gently applied it on the glaring red marks around her wrist. 

After cleaning his fingers with tissue paper, he sat beside her and leaned back on the headrest. His fingers weaved through her silky locks as he glanced at the ceiling, his gaze gradually darkening. 

Jun Zihao was usually a rational man. For him to act like this...Jun Zixuan wondered what could the reason be. 

Right at this moment, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and checked the text.

'Shi Luo: Zixuan, ask Mei to call me okay? Your wife is not responding to my calls and messages.'

Jun Zixuan frowned as he glanced at the woman who was inching closer to him despite already having her face on his thigh.

"Uhh...mmmm...no..." She mumbled something incoherently.

He leaned closer to her. 

"My darling is handsome..." He heard it loud and clear, "Zixuan~"

Was she cheering for him? This woman can be so adorable at times. He sighed helplessly, not knowing what to do with her.

His expressions softened as he pressed a soft kiss on her forehead before slowly shifting her head.

Lying beside her with one arm around her waist and the other beneath her head, he kissed her lips, "Silly."
