Married to his secret crush

Yu Mei closed her eyes as she clasped her hands in front of her body, 'I do not know how I should address you. Our relationship should be quite complicated given that you are the mother of the previous owner of the body which is mine now. I have no special feelings for Yu Mei Zhen but if I have to be honest, since the first day I got her memories, I have admired you for being the resilient person you were. And at times, I hated her for not cherishing a mother like. Not everyone has parents. She did. She had a mother who will fight against the world for her but...'

She paused, breaking her trail of thoughts, 'I apologize for claiming your daughter's body. It was not my intention but it happened. But I can assure you that I will take care of Ah Jin. I have settled the accounts with Yu Family and I will also take care of your father. Rest in peace. It would have been better if I had the chance to meet you even once.'

A lone teardrop rolled down her cheeks and she opened her eyes, looking at the picture of the woman in a daze. For some reason, her heart always ached for Yu Li Na.

She was too kind for this cruel world. She deserved much better, a husband who loved her, children who understood her. She deserved a lot but she did not get them. 

Suddenly, she was pulled into a warm embrace, "Shhh..." Jun Zixuan stroked her back when her soft sobs sounded in the empty cemetery, piercing straight through his heart. 

He did not understand why she was attached to Yu Li Na to this extent when she has never met her. Initially, he just assumed it was because of Yu Jinhai but whatever it was, he understood her conflicted emotions. 

Waking up in a new body, getting the old memories of the previous owner...how could it not affect her?

He realized that she has always wanted to stay away from this. She never went to Yu Family until she came to know that Yu Jinhai was in danger.

And over time, she has gotten attached to the people who were unrelated to her. Be it Yu Li Na, Yu Jinhai, Grandpa Yu, or Li Shuang.

Jun Zixuan glanced at Yu Li Na's grave, 'Rest in peace.'

He might be called ruthless over it but he did not have an ounce of remorse for the previous owner's death. 

She was not underage neither she was mentally sick. As a 21-year-old adult, she should be responsible for her actions. 

Moreover, he felt relieved that Han Mei was resurrected in this body, no matter however it was possible but it happened. 

And that was all. Even if the world was on fire, he would still choose to embrace her if she was calling for him. 

When it came to her, he was just that irrational.

His dark eyes turned back to normal when he felt a tug on his fingers. 

He looked at Yu Jinhai who was blinking at him. He patted his head gently.

Noticing that Yu Mei had calmed down, he let go of her. 

"Jie..."

Yu Mei rubbed her eyes as she glanced at the little boy, "Yes?" Her voice was a little hoarse. 

"Don't cry. Mother is happy wherever she is," He said that, not quite understanding why his Jie was crying when she was not even related to his mother.

Yu Mei nodded, "Mm, she should be," She glanced at the sky taking in a deep breath. 

Although he coaxed his sister but Yu Jinhai felt a dull ache of emptiness around him. He leaned his head on Jun Zixuan thigh desolately. 

Jun Zixuan patted his shoulder, "Let's go home champ, Grandpa must be waiting for us."

The boy cheered up at the mention of his Grandpa, "And Shuang Jie will also be there."

Yu Mei's dim eyes lit up, "Ah Shuang will be there?"

The young boy nodded, "She promised she will be there today."

Jun Zixuan inwardly let out a sigh of relief as he pulled both the humans, a little one and a grown-up one towards him, "Then, we should go back first."

"Yes!" Both of them replied at the same time. 

Jun Zixuan's lips twitched. These two were like real siblings for sure.

...

In the Ancestral Mansion.

While Jun Zixuan and Yu Jinhai kept Grandpa Yu company, Yu Mei and Li Shuang were in the latter's room.

"How do you feel now?" Li Shuang asked while hanging a glass of water in front of Yu Mei's lips.

Her face scrunched slightly, "What are you doing?" This woman was holding a glass of water in front of her mouth from the moment she stepped inside her room.

"Your husband told me that you cried for 15.02 seconds and that I should not let you be dehydrated."

Yu Mei pressed her palm on her forehead, "Sigh...What's going on with you and this potential boyfriend of yours?" She could not discuss it with her that day because she was really busy.

But that did not mean Yu Mei forgot about it.

Li Shuang thought about it for a few moments before she answered, "Grandpa wanted me to find myself a man. I am doing it. Edwards Looks like a suitable option, a proper man for me."

"But.."

Li Shuang grabbed Yu Mei's hand as she interrupted her, "I did love once. It never got me anywhere. So, maybe I should try following Grandpa's words this time."

Yu Mei shook her head, "Don't do that to yourself," She whispered, "And if you have to, then make sure this does not hurt you later."

Just as Li Shuang was about to say something, some noises from outside grabbed their attention. Both of them stood up and walked out of the room only to be greeted by the sight of a person they never wanted to see. 

Li Shuang's expressions turned into that of disgust while Yu Mei exchanged glanced at Jun Zixuan 'What is she doing here?' She mouthed.
