Married to his secret crush

'Pak' 

Yu Mei's face whipped to the side when Han Sheng slapped her, ''I told you, niece, you should be more obedient.'' 

Jun Zixuan's fingers curled into a fist and just as he raised his gun, Han Sheng looked at him and Han Jian Yu, ''Enough playing. Now if I see you all being disobedient, I will let you kill me but with me, our dear Mei and her pet are also dying,'' As he said so, more of his men surrounded Mia and Yu Mei. 

Han Jian Yu closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them to look at Han Sheng, ''Take me instead.'' 

Yu Mei placed her palm on her cheeks as she glanced at him quietly. Her throat was parched and her face was too numb to move as she shook his head.

Han Jian Yu did not look at her.

Han Sheng raised an eyebrow, ''What do you want to say?" 

''You want someone to vent on and I agree to be that someone if you let go of her and her pet,'' Han Jian Yu said with a straight face.

He knew how skilled his sister was. She could have easily tackled Han Sheng or at least put up a fight by now but the current circumstances showed him that she didn't want to do so. The fox's life was more important to her than her own's and at this point, all he could think of was saving her, getting her out of this place, even if it meant putting himself in danger. Not to mention by what Jun Zixuan told him on the way.... right now, he could not think of anything or anyone else other than his sister. 

He let her die once and that memory has been haunting him since then. He could not bear to let anything harm her once again. 

Han Sheng smirked, ''My son... Never thought President Han will be giving in to this peasant so easily,'' He laughed as he walked back to his chair before taking a seat. 

He glanced at the men who were surrounding Yu Mei, ''Take my niece to her husband.'' 

Yu Mei shook her head while looking at Han Jian Yu but the man did not look at her as he walked straight towards his father. 

''Mei, come here,'' Jun Zixuan's deep voice snapped her out of her daze and she turned to look at him. 

Yu Mei glanced at Mia who was held by Han Sheng's man before she looked at her brother who was now standing in front of him. 

She looked at the scene in front of her for a few seconds before walking towards Jun Zixuan. 

Han Sheng's men left her alone as soon as she was away from him, ''I tried...'' Yu Mei slowly whispered as she stood in front of Jun Zixuan while she raised her fingers to clutch the corner of his suit jacket. 

''I know you did,'' Jun Zixuan pulled her into his arms as he kissed her shoulder while stroking her back with one hand. 

When Han Sheng sent them the live recording of Yu Mei entering his house by the backyard, Han Jian Yu and him were already on their way here and he saw how effortlessly she shot his men and tackled them. 

The video was cut short but it was enough for him to know how skilled she was, and how she could have handled this situation if Mia was not there in the picture. 

He never had an idea that she could handle guns so smoothly neither about her fighting skills, ''Don't blame yourself,'' He whispered into her ear, ''If you didn't come here, they would have tortured Mia more just to lure you here,'' He was angry and disappointed how she left everything behind to come here. 

But he knew no matter how impulsive she was, she was a sensible person so he assumed there must be some other reason and he was not wrong. Mia's presence here answered all his questions. 

''But I couldn't save her... She was tortured in front of me...'' came her reply in a shaky voice.

Jun Zixuan felt her body trembling in his arms and he tightened his grip on her, hugging her firmly, ''She will be fine. She is strong,'' He wasn't sure if it was her or himself whom he was convincing, ''How do you feel? Any discomfort?" He kept stroking her back. 

''No... I am alright,'' Yu Mei replied. She paused for a moment before asking, ''What do we do, Zixuan?"

A glint flashed across Jun Zixuan's eyes as he glanced at his men from the corner of his eyes before he kissed Yu Mei's hair softly, ''Nothing for now but something soon,'' He whispered with his lips lingering on her hair and felt her body relaxing in his arms. 

''How heart touching,'' Han Sheng whispered while looking at the couple's interaction, ''Who would have guessed that this enigmatic existence is a doting husband? I wonder if his enemies and competitors come to know this, how would they tackle him? By taking my niece as their hostage?" 

Han Jian Yu narrowed his eyes. 

Han Sheng waved his hand as he turned to look at him, ''Don't worry, I don't think they can handle this girl. Not everyone is as smart as your father,'' he picked up a glass of wine before sipping from it.

''Let go of her pet too,'' Han Jian Yu said, ''I am sticking to my words, standing right in front of you.''

''No,'' Han Sheng frowned, ''Make do with your sister. The pet will stay, no matter if it is alive or dead.'' 

Han Jian Yu had already expected this. He knew how cunning this man was. 

By now Han Sheng has measured every angle and he should be aware of the fact that without holding the fox hostage, Yu Mei would not be so weak. Only with that pet will she turn herself in. And without Yu Mei, neither he nor Jun Zixuan will be defenceless against Han Sheng. 

Han Jian Yu was well aware of it but he still walked here because he was worried that the man will be provoked by something and stop Yu Mei here. 

More than anything, Han Jian Yu was only concerned about his sister right now.
