Chapter 276 - Ex-boyfriend (1/2)

What did he mean by he was jealous of Han Jian Yu?

''I overheard your conversation with Shi Luo….'' He paused, ''She knows about it?” The realization dawned on him.

''Yes, Luoluo knows.''

”And who else?”

”Mu Shen also knows. He just came to know about it today and Ah Jin also knows about it.''

''Am I the last one then?” He narrowed his eyes.

''Ah, that's not the main point. Tell me when did you eavesdrop on Shi Luo and my conversation?” She stood up from his lap and removed the heels of her leg before slumping on the couch with her head on his lap.

He played with the loose strands of her hair, ''Tired?”

''Just a bit,'' She blinked.

''You can sleep then. I'll make something for you to eat-''

''I'm not hungry neither sleepy. Let's just talk. It's been a long time since I wanted to discuss everything with you. I was just afraid of your reaction.''

He stroked her hair, ''I did not eavesdrop. I just overheard your conversation in front of Shi Luo's office when I went there to pick you up. It was some time before we fought and-''

''And before you kicked me out of Ren Mansion.''

''I didn't 'KICK' you out,'' He sighed helplessly, ''Do you want me to investigate about your family?”

Yu Mei quietly glanced at him, ''Let's think about it later. I don't feel like talking about that unreasonable family who assassinated me in the middle of a forest without a valid reason and that too on my birthday. It's good that I am alive or else the world might have lost a goddess.''

She glanced at the stars through the glass ceiling, not noticing the way Jun Zixuan's expressions deepened at her words. A glint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He closed his eyes and composed himself. Just the thought of it was making him lose control over his emotions.

''So, Zixuan, you aren't angry anymore right? I have been very honest.''

''You want me to praise you?” He glanced at the woman who was looking at him curiously, wondering whether he was still angry at her.

''I mean…it's not a bad idea. Like where will you find someone as perfect as me? I just rarely lie because of circumstances otherwise I can be an idol for honesty,'' She smugly said only to end up frowning a second later, ”…That went a bit overboard. Even I feel ashamed of the overpraise,'' She mumbled under her breath.

He pursed his lips to stifle his laughter, 'What about Jun Zihao?'' He asked with a straight face.

She choked on the rest of her words.

''You know that he mentioned your birthmark to me?” This time, however, his tone deepened as his eyes narrowed.

''That jerk-'' She paused, ''Baby, he is just starting fights between us. Can't we forget about all that?'' She sat up.

''No,'' He flashed her a pointed stare.

She gulped, ''My ex-boyfriend,'' She lowered her head, ''I….used to date him back in high school and we were in a relationship for around 3 years,'' She pressed her index fingers together while looking at him hesitantly and his scary expressions made her close her eyes. Out of 7 billion people in the world, why did she date Jun Zihao? Just to wait for this day when she would be sitting in front of his younger brother, explaining things and coming clean?
