Chapter 41 - You Dont Talk To Me Like Before (1/2)

As she twisted the doorknob to lock the door, it was pulled from the other side and she lost her footing with it.

”Ah..” Her nose bumped into a rigid surface as she felt an arm wrapping around her waist.

”Are you alright?” A cool tone resounded from above her head.

She took a few steps back keeping a proper distance between them before rubbing her nose gently.

Jun Zixuan stared at the woman who was treating him like some contagious disease. Her attitude towards him didn't change over the past two days.

If he joined her at the breakfast table, she would leave without eating anything. If he stood in front of her, she would change her path. They came to Shanghai on his private jet but throughout the whole journey, she kept herself at a distance and didn't even look at him in the eye.

When they checked-in in the resorts and were informed about their stay in one suite, the look of horror on her face was genuine.

He tried to talk to her a few times on the first day but she slipped away every time.

So, in the end, he avoided coming to the room to not make her uncomfortable. He only came back after she was asleep and left before she woke up.

And she seemed to be very comfortable with this kind of arrangement. She treated him like air. And that irked him. Was he that hateful?

It has been only recently that they started living together but he was used to her fighting with him over small things. He didn't even realize when he started bickering with her. It was so unlike of him to be so petty towards someone or to spare his words on people who don't matter to him.

But now that she was not talking, something felt empty inside. Maybe, he was just not used to it, or maybe he was not used to a silent, prim, and proper Yu Mei.

He looked at the woman who was rubbing her nose until it turned red. Her dark eyes glared at him but she didn't speak a single word and turned around to walk away.

Without thinking about anything, he grabbed her hand.

She paused for a moment before struggling; she twisted her wrist trying to escape from his grip but he didn't let go.

She turned around to look at him but didn't speak a single word.

He also looked at her without saying anything.

As the stifling silence in the air became unbearable, she opened her mouth to speak, ”Is there anything you want from me?” She coldly asked, not trying to struggle anymore. The man was much more powerful than her.

”You are ignoring me..” He took a step towards her and she retreated a step back.

The door behind them was locked with a small 'click'.

He walked towards her and she kept backing away. It went on until her back collided against the wall.

She blinked.

What was he trying to do?
