Married to his secret crush

"Well, well. Apologies," He mumbled while swimming towards her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer, "But I wanted you right here," He kissed her chin.

She hooked her arms around his neck, "Why is that?"

??

Not bothering to answer her question which had an obvious answer, he asked his own, "Why did you do it?" He looked into her eyes.

"Were you surprised?" She smiled. The happiness of victory was apparent in her eyes.

And that crushed his resolve to tell her that he knew her plan before it was implemented. Steward Gu would never act without his command. "Yes, I was really surprised," He watched as her lips tugged up higher, "Will you tell me now why you did it?"

"Isn't it obvious?''

"No."

"You just want to hear it from my mouth?"

"Yes."

The corner of her lips twitched as she lowered her head, "Fine then. Let me tell you…'' She softly mumbled, "I was really frustrated with them being so mean to you and talking bad about you all the time. It did not settle well with me. I wanted all of them to feel the slap on their faces. What I did might be childish, impulsive, or a bit overprotectiveness on my part but I…don't want anyone to insult you. Maybe I can do that…uhh a little bit and not harshly..only when we have a fight or you anger me in some way. But that apart, nobody else gets to point a finger at you. You don't deserve that. I-I…See, I know you have all the power to crush them within a snap of your fingers and I am not as powerful as you as an individual but I don't know what I want to say actually. Just I am sorry for not discussing it with you before working on it-''

He shut her blabbering with a searing kiss that came out of nowhere, knocking the breath out of her lungs. One of his hands moved towards the back of her head while the other remained on her waist, slamming her towards himself.

"Mmm…."

He let go of her lips only when she struggled, "I…" She panted, "Are you trying to kill me by the lack of oxygen?"

"Well," He smiled, "I'm not letting you die for sure. Moreover, you do owe me the kisses for the mails I sent on your behalf," He tugged her towards him once again.

She pressed her hands on his chest, "Well, ten kisses for each mail is too much."

"Twenty then?"

"You…" She shook her head, "I am not a duck or a fish. I am not kissing you in this cold water."

"Let's get back to the room then. I will make sure to warm you up…"

She blinked, "Are you that desperate to kiss me?"

"I am more than desperate to do much other than kissing you but you are on your period," His eyes narrowed.

She buried her face in his chest as her face flushed, "How can you say all that with a straight face, huh?"

"Why not? You are my wife."

"Girlfriend!"

"Wife!!!"

"No."

"Yes.''

"I hate you.''

''I hate you too."

While they were busy in their own pink bubble, there was another person near the door who although could not hear anything of the couple's conversation but saw everything.

Jun Zihao's finger curled into a fist as he turned around, his grip on the knob of the opaque glass door loosened and the door closed behind him as he left without looking back.

"Zihao?" Han Jingyi stood up from the couch when she saw the man walking downstairs.

"Zihao, where are you going? Listen to grandma-'' Old Madam Jun's words came to a halt when her grandson walked past her.

Jun Zihao could hear them but he was not in the mood to entertain anyone. The painful pricks in his chest made him nauseous, that weird clench of his heart had him captive. He has never felt so worse before like his world came crashing down leaving everything in ruins.

Every part of his mind was blank while his heart, it ached terribly just thinking back to the sight he witnessed of those two people making out in the swimming pool. They looked like they were meant to be and he refused to accept it.

How easily did she forget him? Was it that easy for her to move on from their 3 years relationship when he, despite having a fiancée, woke up at nights after dreaming about her?

Was it all his fault? It was!

She was a proud woman. He knew she will never chase after him or bend in front of anyone for him. The day he broke up with her, he had seen those flickers of sadness, hurt, disbelief, and disappointment in her eyes when she asked him with a straight face 'Why? We were doing well, weren't we?'

And he had coldly replied 'Because my family will never accept someone like you.'

And she smiled.

No crying. No question.

She just nodded at him and walked away as he stood there looking at her retreating back.

She slapped him hard after all these years when she came back into his life. But this time, she was with his brother. She came back as his brother's woman.

How ironic was that he said that his family won't accept someone like her and she was now dating his younger brother.

Jun Zihao laughed wryly as he alighted the car and glanced at the nightclub.

He thought he was irked because she was dating his brother, contradicting his statement.

But no!

It was all shit that he fed his own mind.

He loved her.

"I fucking still love her," He punched the glass of the car which broke and pierced into his knuckles but hell that did not stop the pain in his heart.

He inhaled a deep breath and walked inside the nightclub.

"Zihao…Zihao wait…" Su Ning shouted as she parked her car beside his but the man had already walked inside at this point.

She frowned looking at the broken glass, "Was he angry because of everything that happened today?" Su Ning mumbled under her breath.

But she could not deny that whatever happened was what it should have been like.
