Married to his secret crush

Yu Mei glanced at the woman who was trying breathing exercises to calm down. She sighed before looking at the phone. Her eyes narrowed when her gaze landed on the content.

'President Leanne's true face is about to reveal in a few minutes. Starting the countdown.'

'The CEO of Rosette is not just a beautiful face but also has a scheming soul. The family is out for revelation.'

'Yu Family's dirty laundry soon to be out in open.'

'The Yus has been dominating the Entertainment Industry. But who could've thought that they have such entertainment within their household?'

'Stepmother's revelations will be out as soon as the Press Conference start.'

Yu Mei passed the phone to Shi Luo. 

"What are we going to do about it?" Shi Luo glanced at her, "I think we should leave them alone. Who cares about what they speak?" The entertainment industry is a messy place and since the Yu Family has established themselves there for so many years then it might be Yu Mei who will face the netizen's wrath.

"Of course, why would I take action?" Yu Mei spoke through gritted teeth.

Shi Luo rubbed her arms, feeling goosebumps rising on them.

"Let's go and get changed first. We'll then go over there to take a look."

Shi Luo frowned, "Just a look?" Why couldn't she bring herself to believe it?

"Yes."

"Mei, you are too impulsive."

"I promise I won't kill them."

Shi Luo: "_" Is it assurance or threat?

They went back to her apartment and Yu Mei changed her casual outfit first. Luckily, she had gotten over a few outfits from the mansion in the morning. 

She knocked on Shi Luo's door, "Are you done?"

"I have an urgent call. Give me 15 minutes."

"Alright," Yu Mei glanced at the time. Something popped up in her mind. 

She walked out of the place before walking towards the door right in front of Shi Luo's flat. It did not take long for the person inside to respond when she knocked. 

"Hey, Littly~"

"You sensed me, didn't you? And what's up with this littly?"

"I had sensed your presence since yesterday. Littly means little. Since you are my little sister, I'll call you that," Mia smiled as her eyes squinted in a seductive manner, "Who are you out to slay?" She asked as her gaze roamed at the woman from top to bottom.

"Nothing like that," Yu Mei walked inside followed by Mia who kept fumbling and stumbling. She held her arm to support her.

Mia sighed dejectedly.

Yu Mei glanced at her casual pyjamas that were paired with six-inch-high stilettos, "What is this?"

"They told me to practice wearing this. It is even extra high," Mia sighed helplessly. As she tried to walk forward, she ended up stumbling once again only to be supported by Yu Mei, ''See, I can't even walk properly with these things."

Yu Mei stifled her laughter, "I just realized you are a few inches shorter than me," Although they were wearing heels, the height difference was still somewhat apparent. 

"Are you calling me short?" Mia narrowed her eyes. 

"Well, your highness, I will help you," She flipped her hair before straightening the woman's shoulder, "Here, look at me."

Mia blinked, "As much as I adore beautiful things, I am not interested in women. You can be my little sister at most," Why would she look at her?

"Mia!" Yu Mei pursed her lips and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Try to walk?"

Mia glanced at her heels as she hesitantly stepped forward. She had already gotten her ankles twisted for a good number of times to not be traumatized by the heels. 

Looking at the hesitation on her face, Yu Mei tilted her face to the side, "Don't do it if you don't want to. Why must you insist on being a model?"

"Well..." She was just curious about this world, the systems here, the income, the jobs, everything about this world was so new to her that one day she wanted to be a scientist, and the other day, she was leaning towards modeling.

"Well, I have an idea."

Mia glanced at her questioningly. 

"You once told me that you have the ability to create illusions. Can't you do that?" Yu Mei raised an eyebrow. 

Mia's hazel eyes glittered, "You mean I can show them that I am wearing heels when in reality I'll be barefoot.''

"Exactly."

Mia hugged her, "Thank you. How could I forget that? Mother always used to say that I lose my wits when I am nervous about anything."

Yu Mei smiled, "I have something to deal with. I'll go check whether Luoluo is ready."

"Okay."

Yu Mei paused near the door as she turned around, "Mia."

"Mm?" The vixen discarded the troublesome heels before glancing at her. 

"Don't trust someone easily. If required, use your powers to know what's in their mind before you befriend them."

Mia frowned but eventually nodded even though she was a little confused by it. 

As Yu Mei walked out of the house, she could not help but sigh. If she were to take advantage of Mia right now, the woman won't even realize it. As cunning as she was, Mia was different.

Once she let her guard down around somebody, there would be a hint of naivety and innocence in her character. Once she started trusting someone, she will do anything for them. 

This was a pattern that Yu Mei has noticed during the time they were together. From the day her relationship with Mia started getting better, the woman trusted her blindly.

Maybe it was because she was cursed and trapped in a place for years that she failed to know the cruelty of the world. As sly as she was, she was somewhat pure from her heart. 

Compared to the foxes, the humans are the real epitome of ruthlessness. 

She hoped that Mia would not come across anything like that.

...

Inside the 7th hall of Moon Al Hotel.

The entire hall could fit up to 700 people. After all, the press conference was arranged by the leading agency in the entertainment industry, Dream Entertainment. And the topic of this conference was Leanne, the world-famous chief designer and CEO of Rosette. So, the arrangements were certainly not to be underestimated.
