Chapter 124 - Sit With Your Guardian (1/2)

Hands tucked inside pocket, the ever so familiar impatient tapping of the leather boot on the floor. The slim-fit black tuxedo that he wore was highlighting his muscular back.

The man's attention was focused on his phone while his other hand was near his head as his slender finger weaved through his golden ash-blonde hair.

”Mei!!” Li Shuang called out to her and Yu Mei stilled for a moment when she saw the man put down his phone.

Unknowingly, her heart raced in her chest as she watched him turn around.

His face lit up at the sight of her as if he was here for her.

Students and professors were walking through the corridor but for some reason, for a split second, she found herself ignoring everything around as her gaze remained fixated on him.

He seemed to have become more handsome since the last time she saw him but even from a distance she could see the traces of dark circles under his eyes, but it did not reduce his charm a bit.

His striking ash-blonde hair seemed to be in a mess as they rested above his eyebrows. He looked tired yet attractive.

What surprised her was nothing changed about the way his chestnut brown eyes gazed at her.

''Mei, what are you thinking about?” Li Shuang snapped her fingers in front of her, breaking her trance.

''What were you saying?” she tilted her head to the side.

”I've been calling you repeatedly but you weren't responding,” Li Shuang nonchalantly said, ”Anyways, you should go to the class. It's time for PTM.”

”And where would you go?” Yu Mei asked.

”Well, I don't have parents or any guardian coming. I'll go to the washroom first and then back to the dorm.''

Even though she had a small apartment, but she mostly lived in dorms, rarely going back to the small apartment.

''I'll accompany you to the washroom.''

Li Shuang frowned, ”But…”

''Let's go,” She held her hand and dragged her away, not looking back at a certain husband.

”You're acting weird,'' Li Shuang said, without much of an expression on her face.

Just like Yu Mei had guessed, it was indeed Shen Lihua who wanted her future daughter-in-law to graduate from the best university, following which Jun Zixuan fulfilled his mother's wish. It was one year before their marriage.

At that time, he did not have any kind of ridiculous plans to marry her. Considering his mother's health and the girl's reputation that screamed 'trouble', he simply put himself as her guardian since there were some months for her to turn 18.

As soon as the private jet landed in Beijing, he received a call from the Imperial university informing him about the PTM.

And after freshening up in his penthouse, he drove over to the university without delay.

But she was not in her class and before he could go to look for her, Gu Min, his secretary called him to discuss some work-related matters.

Jun Zixuan impatiently spoke, ”Yes, finalize the third deal and send it to Ren Mansion…No need. I will get the cruc…”

”Mei!!”

Someone called from behind and he froze for a split second. His brown eyes flashed with an undecipherable light as he put his phone down and turned around.
