Chapter 204 - Princess Working For Peasants (1/2)
Li Shuang glanced at Jun Zixuan.
Yu Mei held his hand trying to remind him to keep his poisonous tongue in check. The poor woman just had a breakup in her years of relationship, she might have a breakdown if he kept poking her wound.
A cold expression settled on Jun Zixuan's face matching Li Shuang's, his aura overwhelmed the small space of the living room, ”You should be glad you discovered him before it was late. Or you didn't want him to be discovered.”
Li Shuang's expressions faltered, ''What?”
Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan before turning her head to look at Li Shuang's confused face, ”Are you hiding something from me?” It did not take her long to figure out the cause behind his actions.
Usually, he was not a man who would talk to anyone about their personal lives or anything as such. Moreover, Li Shuang and him were not even that close. So, it looks like there is more to it.
Li Shuang paused, ”Even if I am hiding something from you, it has nothing to do with Boqin and my relationship. I have lied to you about one thing. I-I am not an orphan.”
Her brows tugged together. Was it really necessary to that?
”I-I…”
”Alright, Shuang. You can tell me when you want. There is no need to force yourself about it. I trust you.”
Li Shuang glanced at Jun Zixuan who had this 'I don't trust you' written all over his face.
Yu Mei elbowed him.
”Still your friend?” Li Shuang glanced at her.
Yu Mei cleared her throat, ”Husband.”
”Wasn't it boyfriend?” Jun Zixuan muttered beside her ear.
”That's between us no?”
”You both are married?” Li Shuang glanced at them.
”Shuang, I could not find a proper chance to inform you about this. After my mother's death, I got married-”
”Your mother's death?” Li Shuang stood up from the couch in a flash. Her usually indifferent expressions morphed into horror.
Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, ”Indeed. She passed away two years ago,” Since they were not on talking terms, the previous owner did not find it necessary to share it with her.
As they walked towards the car, Yu Mei glanced back at the small apartment building, ”She reacted weirdly.”
”Her identity might not be that simple. That day in the hotel, she had guards to protect her,” Jun Zixuan opened the door for her.
She stepped inside as he walked around before settling on the driver's seat, ”I couldn't guess.” She sighed and leaned back on her seat.
”Do you want me to investigate her?”
Yu Mei shook her head as she closed her eyes, ”There is no need to. Whoever she is, she is not an enemy. Let her get over the breakup first. When the time comes, she will speak about it. If possible, you can investigate Li Na instead,” She could have done that as well but it was all too troublesome and she would rather sleep more than wasting her brain cells on this.
