Chapter 18 - Something Unusual About Her (1/2)

Shen Lihua poured a little amount of wine in her glass before filling her son's glass to the brim, ”You think I'm such a narrow minded person? It's been a long time since you married my 'friend's daughter', yet you never treated her as a wife. But I don't hold a grudge against you,” She raised her glass towards him, ”Here, let me drink another toast to you. I'll finish it first.”

After finishing the contents in her glass, she looked at her son, ”You don't want to drink?” The gentle smile on her face slipped a little.

”I'll finish it,” Jun Zixuan raised his glass to his mouth before finishing its content despite the burning sensation in his throat.

His vision was blurry and he was dizzy after the second glass but his mother was not done yet.

She poured yet another glass for him, ”Marriage is a huge responsibility. Since you have married her, I believe my precious would not hurt Yu Mei anymore,” She finished her drink before looking at him with a gentle smile, ”Don't you want to drink it, Ah Xuan?”

''I-I will…” With that he emptied the glass.

It went on for a few times until he could not think things clearly.

Shen Lihua looked at him, ”Look at you, still not used to alcohol,” She shook her head before calling her driver, ”Pick him up from here and drop him at Ren Mansion.” She then looked at her son who was blinking again and again trying to clear the effects of the wine, ”As a married man, you are supposed to live with your wife. I hope you don't forget that, son.”

Jun Zixuan looked at his mother blankly trying to comprehend what she was trying to say.

Shen Lihua smiled gently before patting his head, ”Go ahead, I wish you good luck for tonight.”

*Flashback ended*

Yu Mei waved her hand in front of him and the man snapped out of his daze as he looked at her face with furrowed brows. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.

Looking at his strange expressions, she raised her hands to touch her cheeks. Did something happen to her face when she was asleep?

Her eyes and eyebrow changed whenever she felt that pain in her chest, and last night the pain was so intense to the point that she passed out. Does that means….?

The direction of her thoughts made her heart beat rapidly in her chest. No… It can't be..

She hurriedly looked around and picked up a small white square device from her bedside table before pressing the switch on it.

The large pink wardrobe immediately turned around before revealing a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.

As she looked at her face in the mirror, she inwardly sighed in relief. When Jun Zixuan looked at her with that strange gaze, she thought her face changed to how she looked as Han Mei. It would've been terrible that way, she did not want to be seen as a monster whose face changed overnight.
