Chapter 229 - Kept (1/2)

''Our pictures are circulating online. These...weird news are trending now,” She turned her phone towards him, ”I got you in trouble, didn't I?” After all, he has never shown his face to the public neither has he revealed his identity but now, the media might hover around him 24/7.

Jun Zixuan grabbed the phone from her hand before he pushed himself up to sit still having her on his lap.

'Is it that serious?' She wondered to herself when a small frown graced his handsome face.

”Their photography skills lack. They only captured my side profile,” The man muttered after contemplating a bit over it.

Yu Mei: ”_”

Was that the point here?

''Did you read the headlines?”

”No. I just looked at the pictures.''

She followed his gaze. They were the pictures when Jun Zixuan carried her outside the hotel on his shoulder and there was another picture of them which was initially presented by Madam Yu during the press conference.

No wonder his reaction was neutral. She was a bit nervous at this point. Would he blame her?

No normal man will like it when someone pointed at them for being dependant on their woman financially. It hurts their male ego probably. And this issue was much serious than that.

Jun Zixuan was a proud man. She was well aware of this fact from her previous life.

He has always been kind and close to her but to the rest of the world, he has remained unreachable.

And now he is rumored to be her kept man, she was not sure what will this lead to? But no matter what it was, it wasn't going to be anything good.

His eyebrow rose slightly as he read the headlines further.

She closed her eyes, not mentally prepared for what was about to come. They just got into a relationship and peace seemed to have said goodbye to them. And now this new trouble might as well incite a fight between them. She cursed the reporter who made up such things. They just never learn their lessons. Shameless! Immoral people.

I curse you to stay awake at nights.

I curse you to lack condoms when you want to do that with your partner.

I curse you to bump your toenail in the edge of the door.

I...

”Interesting.”

The strings of curses flowing in her mind halted when the man uttered this single word. ”What?”

The man turned her phone towards her, showing her the headlines, ”I think they are interesting.”

It took her some time to recover her senses, ”You aren't offended?” She glanced at the strange species of man in front of her.

”Why would I be offended?” Jun Zixuan frowned, ”I am very pleased. These reporters have done a pretty good job.''

”They called you my kept man. Someone whom I have been supporting financially. You sure you aren't offended by that?” She glanced at him doubtfully.

He threw her phone to the other side of the bed before wrapping his arms around her waist and leaning closer to her such that the barest tips of their noses touched, ”The world now knows me as your man. I don't think I have anything to be offended about. I can't be happier, you know?” He whispered against her lips, looking into her starry eyes.

She blinked, ”You are so different,” Usually, men would be offended by such things. Even women don't like to be called a mistress then which man would appreciate being called a woman's kept?
