Chapter 26 - I Am Han Mei (1/2)

In the Master's bedroom.

Jun Zixuan looked at the purple rose that he was holding in his hand as if he was looking at someone through it.

Letting out a soft sigh, he stood up from the king-sized bed and brought over a few tissue papers. Dipping it in the glass of water, he cleaned the dried blood stains from the stem of the rose before looking at it.

But something strange caught his eyes. Earlier the purple rose had a few white web-like patterns on it. But right now, on the white pattern, there were some red strokes.

They were beautiful but strange.

'Knock knock.'

''Enter.”

Steward Gu stepped inside before bowing in front of him, ”Master, it's time for dinner,” he said.

Jun Zixuan looked at him, ”Have you checked it?”

Steward Gu looked at him for a few minutes before nodding, ”I have checked it up. Miss Yu met Dr. Shi today, a world-famous dermatologist. I thought she knew Dr. Shi before which is why her face is cured but this was the first time they met. And….”

”And?”

”Dr. Shi canceled all her work for the day and Miss Yu was allowed inside her office without an appointment. They spent more than seven hours inside the office room…And Dr. Shi even walked her out of the hospital…”

”Dr. Shi? Is it Shi Luo you are talking about…?” Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at Steward Gu.

Steward Gu nodded, ”Your friend from Crystal University.”

”Is….Is she here too…?” His long eyelashes cast a shadow over his chestnut eyes as he softly whispered.

”I..can investigate about her if you want to,” Steward Gu spoke up after hesitating for a few seconds.

”No need, you can leave. Close the door.”

”But, Master, you should have your dinner. You have not eaten anything after the breakfast,” Steward Gu looked at the man worriedly.

”Just leave,” Jun Zixuan murmured.

Steward Gu bowed before leaving the room.

As he closed the door, a soft sigh escaped his lips. Maybe things would have been different if Madam had not been so stubborn for this marriage, he thought to himself before walking downstairs.

As Steward Gu left the room, Jun Zixuan stared at nothing in particular. Putting the rose in the flower vase, he leaned back on the bed thinking back to that fateful day 2 years ago.

*Flashback*

Crystal University.

”What do they mean by they will send a complaint letter to my family? Is it even legit? I'm already weak in Chinese subjects and their teaching appears like a big egg to me. Is it my fault that I dozed off in the class…?” The 21-year-old girl grumbled to herself while sitting on the branch of the lone tree on the campus.

Her legs dangling off the tree as she licked a lollipop, watching the basketball match going on the huge field in front of her. The team she was rooting for lost while the winning team's captain immediately ran towards a girl sitting in the audience.
