Chapter 395 - Something Happened (2/2)

Yu Mei sat up on the couch as she adjusted her hair. Jun Zixuan held her hand and stroked her palm, ''Give me a moment,'' He said while checking the caller ID.

Yu Mei nodded as she glanced at him curiously, ''Who is it?”

''It's Boyan,'' Jun Zixuan replied to her before he answered the call.

Jun Boyan? Yu Mei was intrigued. This brother-in-law of hers was usually busy with either his studies, his work and after he started living at Shi Luo's place, she rarely saw him at Ren Mansion.

Jun Zixuan continued stroking her palm before he answered the call, ''Bo-''

Yu Mei turned to look at him when the movement of his fingers on her palm paused while he stopped speaking.

As she turned around to look at him, there was a blank look on his face. ”Zixuan, what happened?” She frowned as she asked him the moment he hung up.

But it was as if her voice was unable to reach to him as he sat there, looking at a distance.

His grip on her hand had loosened at some point and his expressions were hard to comprehend.

She placed her palm on his shoulder, ''Zixuan…''

He snapped out of his daze as he turned to look at her, ”I…''

''What's wrong?” She moved her palm from his shoulder to his face, ''Tell me…'' She stroked his face. There was nothing much that his face revealed but for some reason, it felt like he was vulnerable at the moment, unlike his usual self. It was a gut feeling.

Before he could say something, Steward Gu stepped inside the mansion with a few files in his hand, ''Master, these are regarding the recent project, the ones that you asked for. We need to look into these as soon as…'' He paused, finding something amiss in the atmosphere.

Yu Mei turned to look at Steward Gu before she glanced at Jun Zixuan who did not seem to paying attention to the man's words.

''You need them right now?” She asked Steward Gu as she looked at the files.

''Within an hour. Master had scheduled it for this time and now it will be improper for us to go back on our words,'' He said.

Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan quietly as she continued stroking his face.
