Married to his secret crush

Chapter 147 - Teenager In Love

"What is this?" Her expressions were stiff as she tilted her head to look at the man.

Property Transfer Papers? It was like he was writing his will and she was his sole heir who was receiving all his assets.

He chuckled looking at her weird expressions, "I sometimes lose control over my emotions," Only happens when the matter is related to you. Skipping the second part, he continued, ''And end up being a jerk."

She nodded, "And a scoundrel too," She added with understanding eyes.

The corner of his lips twitched. This woman....is going to be the death of him one day.

Pursing his lips for a moment, he forced a smile on his face, "Yes, a jerk and a scoundrel too. So..."

"No wait," She pointed her finger at him and looked at his face for a moment before speaking, "Heartless...A heartless jerk," she finally said after recalling the proper term.

Jun Zixuan gritted his teeth, "Mei, are you looking for a fight?" He asked, with ever so gentle expressions on his face.

She blinked, "Hey, I was just stating a fact. You don't have to take it to your heart. You can continue," She waved her hand nonchalantly.

No, he was not taking it to heart.

Being called a scoundrel and a heartless jerk on his face for the very first time in his life, he was not taking it to heart at all.

Okay, this might not be the first time. This woman sitting in front of him had been calling him such names from the day she woke up from her coma.

Letting out a sigh, he poked her soft cheek before continuing, "My fault for acting like a scoundrel and a heartless jerk and asking you to go away-''

She interrupted, "Kicking me out of the house," She corrected him.

He bit his bottom lips, "Yes. So, you can sign these and all my properties will be yours. The next time when we fight, you can kick me out of the house," He said, the corner of his lips tugged up.

She froze, "Zixuan, you...you can't joke about such things, you know?" She glanced at the file in her hand.

"Do I look like I am joking?"

She glanced at his face before shaking her head.

He nodded, "I'm not joking, Mei. I want you to be the owner of all my assets."

She raised an eyebrow before placing the file on his lap like it was some hot potato, "You're asking for too much."

Now that was not what he expected to hear. She was talking like he was demanding for her assets.

He could feel a headache already.

They both were stubborn and she was even more stubborn than him and that got him helpless every damn time.

"Why?"

"Because it makes me feel like I'm leeching off to you," she shrugged.

"You can leech off to me," He softly mumbled.

"Like a mistress does?" She laughed looking at his darkening face, ''Just kidding. I do like money and all but as long as it's mine," Or my brother's.

"I can be yours," The man said so seriously like he was cracking some tough business deal, "Then, my money will be yours too."

She choked on her saliva. Did he know what was he talking about?

But then, looking at his face, it didn't seem like there was an underlying meaning behind his words.

Getting fooled by his fa?ade, she concluded that it was her mind which was spiraling further than necessary and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

She said, "Keep it with yourself. When I feel like, I'll sign it," It was not like they were going to stay together forever. It wasn't right for her to accept all these things. So, it was better to coax him for now.

He threw the file to the floor and pulled her towards him in one swift move, "Are you thinking about divorce?"

"How do you know?"

"Just a guess," He said as he pinched her chin tilting her face slightly upwards, "We are not divorcing. Not now, not ever," He smiled.

She blanked for a few seconds and quickly turned her face to the side.

Looking at her awkward expressions, he restrained himself from laughing, "You're acting weird lately. Is there something up with you?" He tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear and glanced at her side profile.

"Something up?" She shook her head as she looked at him, ''Nothing like that."

She grabbed the water bottle from the coffee table and removed the lid before drinking a few gulps.

"There is," He looked at her from head to toe, "You look like a teenager in love."

"Cough...Cough..." The water spat out of her mouth as she coughed violently.

"Clumsy," He patted her back and inched closer to her. As she calmed down, the evil man did not tease her further, "You were asking me about something. What was that?"

She thought about it for a moment before looking at him, "Will you be honest?" She paused for a moment before adding, "No beating around the bush?"

"Depends on the type of question you ask.''

She frowned, "Can't you simply say that you will be honest?"

"I can't," He said, running his fingers through her hair, "I lie to you about a few things but they are all harmless. So yeah, I won't say I've always been an honest or decent person or would ever be like that."

She grabbed his hand just when he took his fingers away from her hair, "Continue. It feels good," She inched closer to him and pressed her head on his chest.

It was good anyway. Rather than thinking about pointless things, she preferred to live in the moment.

His eyes brightened slightly as his fingers weaved through her dark tresses.

"Harmless lies? You mean how you said I can be a chef after eating my disgusting fruit salad?"

He paused for a moment, "You know?"

"I do," She leaned closer to him, slowly and sneakily, hoping that he didn't notice it.

Despite knowing it, he didn't expose her little moves and wrapped his arm around her waist casually while his other hand was busy stroking her hair.

"So, I was asking...."
