Chapter 286 - Special Occasion
''You must be kidding,'' Shi Luo froze all of a sudden as the realization dawned on her. This...was too vivid to be a dream. She sat up on the bed in a flash, pointing her finger at him, "What the fuc-" She pressed a palm on her mouth before it could vomit more profanities.
Jun Boyan's gaze trailed past her soft curves, her toned body which was sporting just her innerwear, the tips of his ears turned red as he immediately looked at her face, not letting his gaze travel lower.
Goosebumps rose on her body at a gust of cold wind, she slowly glanced at her body. Her eyes widening in horror. She glanced back at him but the man had his eyes closed, and the tips of his ears were visibly red.
She was speechless. She could not even call him a pervert. Where was she going the vent her frustration.
''Sit there. Don't look at me. I'll be back,'' She dashed inside the bathroom of the guest room and after putting on a robe, she came back to him. ''Open now.''
Jun Boyan glanced at her. Even though she was dressed better but his mind was still flashing that picture of her. He cleared his throat before getting off the bed. ''You are sister-in-law's friend.''
''I am but is there any reason to mention it, at this moment...." She stepped closer to him and he stepped back, ''When you woke up in my house....my room...on my bed and in my arms-''
''In my arms,'' He corrected her, ''You woke up in my arms.''
Her face flushed, ''That's not the point...Ugh...'' She lost her balance in a moment of fluster but he quickly supported her before she could fall.
Hands on her waist with that handsome face dangerously close.
Shi Luo gasped, ''Let go of me.''
'Bam'
She fell on her butt.
''Ugh...I did not mean it literally.''
Jun Boyan raised a brow, ''You should mean what you speak," He extended a hand towards her and she grabbed it as he pulled her up.
"What are you doing here?"
Jun Boyan narrated everything to her in details, "....She told me that you are abroad,'' Only after he came here did he realize that the mentioned friend of Yu Mei was a girl because of the house interior so he did not venture inside the whole place and settled in the first room, deciding to leave in a few days.
Little did he know that this friend was Shi Luo. There was not even a picture of her in the living room.
Shi Luo massaged her forehead. Yu Mei might have forgotten to tell her about this for the chaos in her own life and then her return to Beijing was also unexpected.
''Luoluo....Luoluo...'''
''Mom?" Shi Luo's eyes widened, "What is she doing here?"
''Let's go greet her...''
''You...Are you her son-in-law that she would take your greeting well?" Shi Luo snapped at him as she spoke in a whisper, ''My mom might panic seeing a wild man in my room.''
Jun Boyan glanced at himself. Did he look like a wild man?
She grabbed his hand and dragged him all around the room, "Where to hide you...?" She groaned. There must be something wrong with her stars as her luck was deteriorating lately.
He glanced at their interwined fingers blankly.
Her eyes lit up, 'Get inside the wardrobe.'
'Gasp'
The door was pushed open as Shi Luo's mother stood there frozen.
Shi Luo stiffened, ''...Mom...It is not what you think it is.''
Jun Boyan did not know why he had the urge to laugh but he tamped it down under Shi Luo's cold glare.
....
In the President suite of the the 7-star luxurious Crown.
''You didn't skip your lunch, did you?" Yu Mei asked.
Jun Zixuan glanced at his phone which was was on speaker, kept on the bedside table, ''I didn't. What about you?"
''I ate a little here and there. I am not hungry.''
'Knock'
''Come in.''
Steward Gu stepped inside as he bowed to him.
''Don't overwork yourself,'' Jun Zixuan buttoned his black shirt before before picking up the phone from table. Turning the speaker off, he pressed the placed the phone beside his ear, "Mei, do you have time later in the evening?"
''Ah, now that you mention time, I just remember I have been working since 7 am in the morning and It's already 6 pm. Damn, I idled around too much. They have left some departments in a mess,'' She mumbled in an exhausted voice.
''Today, I...I mean it is...''
She interrupted him, ''I have three meetings scheduled in an hour. Let's talk later, shall we?... Keep those files there and give me a list of employees in the PR department....Yes..." There were rustling sounds in the background, "Baby, I will call you back later,'' She hung up.
Jun Zixuan glanced at his phone blankly for a few seconds before letting out a helpless sight.
''Master, Young Mistress might not know about it. Shall I inform her that it is your birthday today?" Steward Gu frowned.
He did not blamed it on Yu Mei for she was not even informed about his name during their marriage but right now, it was apparent that his Master was taking the initiative to tell her about it, but she probably did not listen. Looking at the man's lonely back, he realized the importance of Yu Mei in his life was probably much more than what he shows.
''No need,'' Jun Zixuan tucked his hand in his pocket, ''She is busy recently. Don't bother too much,'' She stayed up all night yesterday to finish her ongoing design and she was already exhausted when she left Ren Mansion, his heart ached for her.
Had he not restrained himself, he might have restricted her from doing everything that was tiring but then again, she won't like it so he knew when to stop.
Steward Gu sighed, ''Master, they are all here,'' he said. Other than his Master's birthday, there was another special occasion today.
