Married to his secret crush

On the terrace.

Jun Zixuan sat on an armchair beside the swimming pool as he glanced at the crystal card in his hand expressionlessly. 

"Baby~"

He tilted his head upwards when he heard the voice. 

Yu Mei walked around the swimming pool carefully before standing in front of him.

She folded her arms in front of her chest and glanced at his face under the moonlight, "Steward Gu said you wanted space and I should not come here."

"What are you doing here then?" He asked softly. 

"Does that means you really want space?" When he did not reply, she frowned, "Unfortunately, I am not giving you that. I will cling to you till you are completely frustrated."

"Will you stop clinging to me after I am frustrated?" He raised an eyebrow. 

"No, I will cling even more until you get used to me," She blinked, "I am going to cling to you even after we become ghosts."

He chuckled and extended an arm towards her.

The moment she put her palm in his, he dragged her to his lap in one swift move. She grabbed the back of his neck and placed soft kisses on his cheek and earlobe before nuzzling her nose on his shoulder, "Don't give off such gloomy vibe. It's scary."

"Did I scare you?" He glanced at her face. 

She blinked, "It's scary because I feel so helpless," She lowered her head for a moment before looking back into his eyes, "I feel like taking revenge against anything or anyone that upsets you. I don't think it's normal anymore. What have you done to me?"

"Mei-"

"No," She pressed her palms on his chest, "Let me speak. This is so weird to me. I have never been like this. I used to have everything sorted out in my mind," As Han Mei, whatever she would decide, she would do it at any costs but right now..."You know how many times I have broken my rules for you? At times, I can't get you out of my head. When I see you smiling, I strangely feel happy too. Please don't laugh at me as I am not at all trying to be corny here. I am not a hopelessly romantic person but you-"

He cut off her words with a sudden passionate kiss that came out of nowhere, knocking her breath out. She tried to respond to him with equal intensity but he seemed to be in another league of his own. 

His lips at hers for one last time before he sucked them gently as they parted. She panted while he wrapped an arm around her waist, "You are not the only one suffering," He spoke beside her ear. 

She gulped and distanced her face from him before looking around, "I-I think this terrace is quite beautiful. There is...a swimming pool and plants and..."

"I will take that as a confession," He pinched her chin and turned her face such that she was looking straight at him once again. 

"I praised the terrace. Where is the confession in it?" She cleared her throat. 

"I believe you know what I mean," He raised an eyebrow. 

She buried her face in his chest. It was too embarrassing now. She ended up acting on impulse once again.

But when saw his lonely back earlier...She just felt her mind going blank at that moment. 

She initially wanted to do something to make him happy but in the end, she ended up saying all her innermost feelings.

"What happened to you? Why are you here alone?" She cupped the side of his face in her palm, "The fruit salad was tasty but I think I would have enjoyed it better if you were the one feeding me."

"You are so spoiled," He whispered.

"I know that will not stop you from spoiling me more, right?"

"Right."

"You didn't answer me yet," She grabbed the crystal card from his hand when it came to her view. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the Amaranthine royalty symbol on it.

"I have never told you about the place I was born in."

"Your family?" She glanced at him. 

He pursed his lips, "Logically, yes."

She sighed, "In fact, I know about them."

He paused for a moment, "Did Mom tell you?" 

She nodded, "I was curious so she just told me but I want to know more about them, about every member in the Jun family," Her brows tugged together when he did not reply, "You won't tell me?"

He sighed, "Tomorrow."

"Okay," She smiled.

Initially, she had decided that she will try to know more about himself only when she told him about her. But since all her rules were broken already, she decided to throw the rest of them in the garbage.

"Why is Li Shuang Li and not Yu?" She swiftly changed the topic. 

''Are you trying to distract me?" He looked at her.

The corner of her lips twitched, "Must you be so smart? I..I just don't want you to be sad."

He laughed helplessly, "Do I look sad?" 

"Uhh...I thought you were." 

"I am not," he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, "They don't really matter."

She blinked, "But I am genuinely curious about the question I asked."

"Li Shuang takes after her late mother's surname. That's why she is not Yu."

"So, it's like that," She nodded, "And who is Jingyi? Why is she your fiancee?" She fiddled with the buttons of his shirt. 

"Jealous?"

"Uhh...A little."

"She is the daughter of your Aunt."

"Aunt...as in my mother's elder sister?" 

"No, I am talking about your grandfather's sister,'' He flicked her forehead, "Of course your mother's elder sister. Who else?"

"Oww.." She rubbed the spot, "I am jealous, okay? You have so many women in your life before me. Why am I not your first? First everything."

"You are my last," He kissed her lips softly, "The last everything."

"Smooth," She smiled, "You have a way with your words."

"Do they work on you?" 

She laughed, "I think they do. Because you are sincere and all these words only belong to me."
