Married to his secret crush

''Wait, what makes you think that he did not treat me properly?'' She blinked. As proud as he was, she was sure that Jun Zixuan would not be insecure of any man. It was just not in his character. But she wondered how he got to know the nature of her and Jun Zihao's relationship, ''It could be the other way around. Maybe I am the one who did not treat him properly.''

''You are not the type of person who takes commitments lightly,'' Jun Zixuan spoke after a few seconds of silence. Even though he did not know the nature of their relationship, when Jun Zihao snapped at him and revealed about her birthmark, it was pretty apparent to him what they were.

His expressions turned sour.

She blinked, trying to distance herself from him. Was he having mood swings again?

He narrowed his eyes at her as he pulled her closer, ''Where do you think you are going?"

''Uh...You look scary.''

He rolled his eyes, ''Are you that scared of me?"

''Of course, I am a delicate woman with a faint heart,'' She smugly tilted her chin.

The corner of his lips twitched. Did she feel no sense of shame when she was proclaiming such things? "I also had such misconceptions about you a few years ago,'' As mischievous as she was around him, most of the time she remained quiet and reserved around everyone else.

''Well..'' She bit her bottom lips embarrassedly, ''You can't insult me like this, or I won't tell you anything else,'' She glared at him, trying to gain the upper hand. She was going through a breakup and heartbreak during that time which is why she was so reserved but did he have to say it like this? It sounded like she was a tyrant.

''You don't get an option,'' He raised an eyebrow. His patience was already hanging by a last thin shred. He has been waiting for months, giving her space and keeping his questions to himself just in case they end up hurting her. But now, they had to be answered.

''Grumpy old man.''

''That makes you an old woman.''

She glared at him.

''What? We both are 23. I was just stating a fact,'' Although Yu Mei Zhen was 21, Han Mei is 23.

''I am not as moody as you,'' She stuck her tongue out at him.

He claimed it within a second, sucking it as hard as he could. He bit her bottom lips before leaning back, his tongue grazed on his lips, ''Have you been eating chocolates, love?" The corner of his lips tugged up as he watched her turning red, eyes wide in disbelief as she quickly slid her tongue inside her mouth, visibly afraid of a repetition of his stunt.

''Y-You…''

''Mm? What about me?" He grabbed her hand before kissing her knuckles.

She was speechless. ''Couldn't you give me a heads up?"

"Heads up about what?" His other hand slid down her waist as he brought it to her knees, grazing it upwards on her thigh while sneaking inside her little black dress. His palm kneaded her smooth skin as his teasing eyes watched her.

It was good to tame this tsundere like this.

Her body arched as she bit her bottom lips, closing her eyes while pressing her legs together but he had her legs between his and she was straddling him. As she arched her back further, her breasts grazed past his chin.

His eyes darkened.

He was supposed to tease her not the other way around.

If it continued like this, they would do something much more than just talking.

And right at this moment, this conversation was a priority. To both of them.

''Ah, what are you doing?" She shrieked when he suddenly stood up from the couch. Her legs instinctively locked around his waist while she hooked her arms around his neck, clinging to him like a koala.

He wrapped an arm around her waist before walking towards the kitchen. She noticed that the kitchen had opaque glasses instead of the transparent ones in the whole glasshouse. He placed her on the kitchen counter, "What would you like to eat, Miss Han?" His tone was low and seductive.

She blushed, ''You are getting into this pretty fast, aren't you?" She covered her face in her palms, extremely embarrassed. She was still a little shy about how adamant she was on her 'we are just friends' concept but now they have come to this when he…cough…but still, did he have to tease her like this?

He chuckled, his deep masculine laughter reverberated in the place and she tilted her head to look at him hesitantly.

Her breath was caught in her throat as she watched him laughing so genuinely. He never laughed or smiled a few months ago as if the whole world owed him and now seeing him like this…It was worth it for her to carry such embarrassment if it made him smile.

She stole a kiss from him, catching him off guard for a moment.

''Zixuan…"

''Mmm?"

"I should have told you about all this much before. I am sorry,'' While she was so lost in her issues that she never realized that her keeping secrets kept affecting him even though he never expressed it.

He glanced at her quietly for a few seconds before pressing a kiss on her forehead, ''What do you want to eat?"

Seeing that he has gotten over all of it, she smiled, ''I am not hungry. Just coffee will do,'' Moreover, she was on a diet right now as the past few days, she had been eating too much without any self-restraint. She did not mind becoming a dumpling again but it would be too tough for her to move around.

As he prepared the coffee, she sat there on the countertop swinging her legs back and forth, admiring his back view.

''Well…'' Jun Zixuan turned around only to be greeted by her burning stare on him, "Who was that little girl? Why did she never appear again after that day?"

Yu Mei froze. This matter slipped off her mind. Now, how was she supposed to explain everything about Mia to him?.

It was not like she did not want to but Mia was not mentally prepared for revealing herself. She rarely trusted anyone other than her and because of her past, she seems uncomfortable with revealing her truth to anyone.

And without her permission, she did not find it right to disclose anything about her to Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zixuan gazed at her hesitant face, ''It's fine-''

''No,'' She interrupted him, ''It's not that I don't want to tell you. I do want to. Just give me a few minutes,'' It will be better to converse with Mia in her mind first.
