Married to his secret crush

Yu Mei shrugged. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones but she was feeling bored already. ''You both seemed to be interested in each other so I sent him over to you but it took you long enough to kiss him.''

''What..? You sent him to my place because…''

''No,'' Yu Mei interrupted her, ''It was because I wanted my mother-in-law and father-in-law to have some space so that they can make up and she can stop coming after my life,'' But having a little matchmaking intention isn't illegal, is it?

Shi Luo slumped on the couch, ''I feel weak.'' 

''Where?" Mia scanned her from head to toe. 

''Don't give me that look. I feel weak in my heart,'' Shi Luo covered her body with a cushion. 

''Let me contact the top cardiologist,'' Li Shuang took out her phone. Matters like this can be pretty serious at times. She did not want her friend's emotional distress to shape up as some sort of heart disease. 

Shi Luo's jaws dropped. She quickly sat up on the couch before snatching the phone from her hand, ''How are you going to get a boyfriend if you are this insensitive?" 

''Are you saying that you want to have Jun Boyan as your boyfriend?" Li Shuang tilted her head. 

Shi Luo scoffed, ''What happened to your Vice-President?" 

''He is pursuing me. I will observe him for some time before we start dating. Then, I will pass the news to Grandpa. He will be pleased,'' Li Shuang nodded. 

''Are you going to date or make a deal?" Mia raised an eyebrow. 

''Ah Shuang, don't do things that you will come to regret later,'' Yu Mei knew that her cousin was a sensible person. The past was tough and her ex-boyfriend was a jerk but that apart, it should not hinder her from living well her future. 

Relying on the heart entirely might go wrong but it will never go wrong if one found the balance between heart and mind. Li Shuang's perception of dating and romance at this point was quite twisted. As Mia said, it was more of a deal. 

Li Shuang went quiet for a few seconds before she glanced at Shi Luo, ''Your situation is easy.''

''How is that?" Shi Luo glanced at her. 

''If you don't like him, then tolerate this for a few days. You can enjoy the kisses and making out as a form of rent if you are physically attracted to each other,'' As straightforward she was, she did not beat around the bush, "In that way, he will be leaving soon and it will be over between you both.''

Shi Luo glanced at her, looking uninterested. 

''On the other hand, if you like him…'' 

Shi Luo's eyes lit up for a split second as she straightened up. 

''...Then confess. Or if you want to go according to norms, then ask him to confess to you,'' Li Shuang nodded, pleased with her detailed gameplan. 

Both Mia and Yu Mei nodded. 

Shi Luo felt the pressure under their burning gazes. 

''But I don't know if he has any such feelings,'' she said after a moment of hesitation. 

''If you won't try, you won't know,'' Yu Mei said.

…

At Amaranthine Airport. 

Shi Luo removed her shades before inhaling a deep breath. The prep talk by the girls boosted her confidence and she booked the tickets for the first flight to Amaranthine but now that she was here, she wanted to run away so bad. 

Shi Luo sighed and walked out of the airport. While she was looking around for her driver, someone standing in the distance caught her attention. 

She was not expecting to see that person here. 

She quickly took out her phone before calling Yu Mei. The call was answered on the last ring, ''Did you check the time?" Jun Zixuan's voice came from the other side. 

Shi Luo glanced at her wristwatch. Since it was 9 am here then… ''It should be 3 am there.'' 

''Mei is sleeping. What's up?" 

Shi Luo once again glanced at the familiar figure who was standing near the exit. It seemed like she was talking on her phone, ''I am in Amaranthine. And you won't believe who I am looking at.'' 

''Who is it?" 

''Han Jingyi,'' The reason Shi Luo was able to recognize the woman is that she had seen her once in Beijing before. It was the day Yu Mei was in the shopping mall and Han Jingyi had ripped her top. Later, Yu Mei had told her about Han Jingyi and her mother. 

As Shi Luo got inside her car, she reflected on what Jun Zixuan told her. 

It seems like the Han Family sent Han Jingyi abroad and she was no longer the adopted daughter of the Han Family. 

She tried to kill Yu Mei and there was no way that Jun Zixuan was going to let it go. But before he could do anything, Yu Mei requested him to let her go. 

Shi Luo understood where Yu Mei was coming from. Han Jingyi was raised by the Han Family for so long that if anything happened to her, her parents would be distressed.

No matter how wrong she was or despite everything she did, parents will always have a soft spot for their kids. It would hurt them if any tragedy befalls their kid. And that was the last thing that Yu Mei as a daughter would do. 

It was already a big step from Han Family to disown Han Jingyi so Yu Mei decided to not take any action for the past grudges.

''And Jun Zixuan, being the whipped husband that he is... he listened to her…'' Shi Luo mumbled before shaking her head. 

But Jun Zixuan won't be Jun Zixuan if he did not do things meticulously. So, he assigned some of his guards to keep an eye on Han Jingyi just in case. The moment she stepped into Beijing, they will take action.

But it seems like Han Jingyi has already suffered a huge blow after being disowned by the family. Even though she saw Hans as an accessory that she could flaunt anytime she wanted but it was still very unexpected to her that they cast her aside just like that. To top it off, the fact that she was used as a puppet by Han Sheng for years broke the last straw of her confidence. 

Shi Luo sighed as she pressed her face on the glass panes, looking at the bright sky outside.
