Married to his secret crush

He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and grabbed the water bottle from the bedside table before drinking mouthfuls in one go. She was so gorgeous. 

By the time Shi Luo walked out of the bathroom, she felt something was amiss but she could not point her finger on what it was. 

Jun Boyan was leaning back on the headboard of the bed and his hair was slightly messy, his shirt was not buttoned properly giving her a glimpse of his broad chest. 

''What do you think?" she asked, quickly averting her gaze the moment he looked at her. 

Jun Boyan glanced at her from head to toe. This time, she was dressed in a full-sleeved bodycon white dress which reached a few inches above her knees. 

''What's the occasion?" 

''Lunch.'' 

''Sexy.'' 

''What?" Shi Luo looked at him. 

He pointed his chin at her, ''You are way too sexy for a lunch,'' he said with a straight face before throwing a blue dress at her. 

''Oh,'' Shi Luo caught it in a daze. She turned around and ran inside the bathroom. 

As the bathroom door closed, Jun Boyan picked the water bottle before drinking two more gulps from it. 

Inside the bathroom, Shi Luo could not help but look at her reddening face. She shook her head to get rid of her wayward thoughts.

When she walked out of the room, Jun Boyan gulped before he opened his mouth, ''This is perfect,'' he said, looking at the flair blue dress. 

It was a deep neckline dress, slightly exposing her cleavage but it looked elegant on her because of the way she carried it. 

Shi Luo glanced at her reflection in the mirror. 

''Wait…'' 

She stiffened when he spoke beside her ear. She did not realize when he approached her, ''Mm?`` She glanced at his reflection in the mirror. 

He was standing behind her as his body towered over hers,, ''I will help you with the hair.'' 

Shi Luo's lips parted slightly when he combed his fingers in her straightened hair, the tips of his fingers stroked her scalp and her neck arched slightly. 

''Don't move,'' he whispered, his warm breath caressing her neck. 

Shi Luo pursed her lips, not letting the sound of her uneven breathing echo in the empty room, ''You look experienced in this,'' she said, trying to shift her focus from the tingling sensations that she felt because of his touch. 

He paused, ''Of course.''

''Have you done this for someone before?'' Even though she was more than curious about his answer, it was not apparent in her casual voice. 

''No,'' he answered before looking at her reflection in the mirror, ''Perfect. It's done now.'' 

So, he has never done it for anyone else before? A smile formed on her face unconsciously but she wiped it off as soon as she realized it. 

Shi Luo tilted her head to the side. Her straightened hair was now tied in a high ponytail, which highlighted her neckline further. She had to admit that he was very good at this. 

''You look stunning,'' he said, his gaze was still fixated on her reflection in the mirror. 

''Thanks to you,'' she smiled. 

Jun Boyan chuckled. Of course, he had to help her with this. Even though he knew she could handle it, he was still worried. From what he observed with the minimal encounters with Shi Luo's mother, she was a perfectionist. 

And since Shi Luo was going to have lunch with her, he would have been constantly worried about her mother nitpicking anything that might make her further upset. 

Although he had no idea why Shi Luo was drunk yesterday, he could conclude it had something to do with her work or her mom. Other people who could affect her were her friends but all of them were currently busy with this or that. His sister-in-law was busy with her work and his upcoming nephew/niece. 

So, whatever made Shi Luo upset must be something related to work or her mother. Since she did not mention it to him, he did not ask her either. He believed she would talk about it if she wanted to. 

Shi Luo cursed herself inwardly as she walked towards the main door. For whatever weird reasons, she was not that enthusiastic about this blind date. But still, it was going to be her fault for daydreaming and being late when there would be a person waiting for her there. 

''Slow down,'' Jun Boyan said when he noticed her shuffling through the heels in a hurry. 

''I am in a hurry,'' Shi Luo quickly wore her stilettos before she turned to look at him, ''My driver will collect all my stuff from your place.''

His lips parted when he heard that, ''Are you not coming back?''

''Huh? No…'' Shi Luo was about to say something but her phone started ringing, ''Shit..'' she hurriedly answered the call. 

''Mom.. No no… I am on my way. It will take me 20 minutes. Bluestone right?... Alright, ask him to wait a bit if he arrives earlier than me,'' she hung up. 

Jun Boyan's eyes narrowed. ''He?" he asked. 

Shi Luo turned to look at him while adjusting her heels, ''I am going on a blind date.'' 

He frowned. 

Shi Luo realized that she had yet to tell him about everything, ''Mom knows that we were only pretending to be dating at that time.''

The corner of his lips twitched when she fled out of his sight as soon as she finished speaking. 

Jun Boyan weakly leaned on the wall, ''So, all this while, I was dressing her up for her to eat with another man?" he mumbled through gritted teeth, ''Good. Very good…'' he smiled in self-mockery. 

The door opened and Yu Chen stepped inside. ''Whose car was that?" He pointed his finger towards the door, ''Shall I expect a sister-in-law soon?" He came here to check on him and see if the people from Sunshine hospital are still trying to track him down but he did not expect to see someone walking out of his place. A woman at that.. He caught a glimpse of the woman's back before she stepped inside her car.
