Chapter 20 - Extra Luggage (1/2)
Yu Mei glanced at the man, ”Whose name did you just say?” she was pretty sure that her hearing was not defective.
Given that, did her brother somehow got to know that she is alive? Did he come here to find her? The conjectures in her mind were pretty impossible since she never once stepped out of this villa after being reborn.
But she still wanted to believe them. She was harboring these thoughts despite knowing that they could not be true.
Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at the woman who glancing at him with a hopeful gaze. ”I said Jian Yu.'' The expression on her face somehow irked him.
Her hopeful gaze turned into a happy one. She did not mishear it. As she opened her mouth to speak, he interrupted her, ”I don't care about your private life or the men you are involved with. But as long as we are not divorced, infidelity should be out of your options. If you fail to control yourself, then there will be consequences,” He casually said but his voice was firm.
Yu Mei blanked out for a second before her expressions became calm.
She walked toward the man, ”Oh? Seems like you care about the rules of marriage and your reputation very much. But I am young and active, my hormones are overflowing. My adoration for you is deeper than the sea and higher than the sky but you don't care about me. So, I prefer those red spot districts and take those male prostitutes as your substitute. Ah yes, about your green hat, you should hide it properly yeah?” She said standing right in front of him.
No matter how she tried to be nice to him, he always tested her limits again and again intentionally or unintentionally.
And she came to terms with the fact that he was no longer that sweet, shy, and gentle Jun Zixuan from her university days.
”_” Her words left Steward Gu stunned yet again. Adoration? Where is your adoration for him? Why am I not able to see it?
Jun Zixuan stood up from the chair before turning around to look at her. Steward Gu immediately picked up the black suit jacket from the chair before assisting the man to wear it.
A man in black, especially one with the otherworldly looks like Jun Zixuan was a sight to see. Those specks of gold in his chestnut brown eyes would glow with the reflection of lights.
He took a step closer to her before speaking, ”Go ahead, do your thing. If you end up in police station, I won't bail you out,” His gaze then traveled down from her face to neck then below her waist. In a split second, his gaze was back to her face.
”In case there are infections or cervical cancer or such STDs, make sure you can afford the medical bills,” His voice was like that of a caring and gentle husband but those words couldn't be more vicious.
Yu Mei could feel the heat rising her neck. ”You…You…” Speechless!
”Jian Yu, Max and if there is someone else too, put them on your waiting list for now. Go find them after the divorce.”
So, in the morning, he did hear that when she mentioned Max, ”I..” As she took a step towards him, she lost her footing.
Another time to curse her fat body. But her legs slipped so fast that she couldn't even curse properly. Her eyes snapped shut as she waited for the pain to come.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
But the expected pain never came as a strong arm wrapped around her waist.
She opened one of her eyes followed by another only to find Jun Zixuan holding her. Although his hand couldn't encircle her thick waist but she could say he was pretty strong given how he managed to balance her heavy body with one hand only.
Despite their dissonance and conflicts, he helped her.
Touched, she opened her mouth, ”Thank…”
'Thud.'
