Chapter 19 - Miss Yu Has Changed (2/2)

”Thank you,” Yu Mei mumbled as her lips slightly curved down, a hint of melancholy appeared in her deep starry eyes.

Whenever she would try to peel a grape, she would end up smashing it. It was Jian Yu who would do such things for her.

Jun Zixuan took a bite of his sandwich as he observed the scene. That sad smile on her face… he has never seen such expressions on her face before.

'When we mentioned about you, her reaction was blank. There was no adoration in her eyes like always. She did not recognize me at first and she was hyper when we addressed her as Miss Yu. She….She even asked about someone named Jian Yu. She was so desperate. She passed out after seeing her face in the mirror. After that night, she was normal but a few things have changed like her eating and sleeping habits. And… she is always trying to draw a line between you both. Miss Yu has changed in many ways.'

Steward Gu's words rang in his mind. In his drunken stupor, he barged inside her room to chastise her but he did not expect to pass out there.

He did not forget the events that transpired yesterday. He remembered her face was not like how it is right now but since his memories were blurry, he couldn't be sure.

As Yu Mei ate her peeled grapes, she felt a piercing gaze on her. She tilted her head, ”Looking at me like that, have you fallen in love with me or you are in the middle of the process?” She stuffed pressed the fork down before stuffing three grapes in her mouth at once.

Steward Gu nearly choked on his saliva. Miss Yu, you are daring. He quickly retreated a few steps back.

There were no other servants nearby or else they would have taken their hats off to the woman's bravery.

Jun Zixuan appeared unaffected by her statement. He picked up a napkin before wiping his mouth and then he looked at her, ”Delusions are good,” He took a pause before adding, ”Until they take you to hospital.”

”Cough…Cough…” She choked her grapes, the dark-colored juice splattered out of her mouth staining her pale skin before dripping down towards her white chiffon dress.

She picked up a napkin before wiping herself properly. She patted her chest to calm her rapid heartbeat before looking at the man.

”You are mean,” she muttered before picking up a glass of water.

But he nonchalantly glanced at her, looking completely unbothered by her messy condition, ”Jian Yu…” He muttered.

'Bang.'

The glass in her hand fell on the floor along with the sound of the clattering of cutleries as she stood up from her seat. The chair fell back with a loud sound.

Steward Gu closed his eyes thinking of the disaster that must be on its way. Why would you show such a big reaction after hearing another man's name unless he is special to you? They knew all about Yu's Family and her friends but there was no such person as Jian Yu. Miss Yu, do you know the consequences of making our Master wear a green hat?
