Married to his secret crush

Chapter 218 - Other Women In Husband’s Life

While the brother and sister seemed to have been engaged in a staredown, Jun Zixuan stood up, ''Old Master Yu,'' He greeted the old man as soon as he stepped inside.

"Ah Xuan?" The surprise was evident on Grandpa Yu's face.

"Yes," The man nodded.

"Grandpa?" Yu Jinhai swiftly sneaked away from his scary sister as he dashed towards the Old Man who immediately hugged him.

The corner of his eyes crinkled as he laughed, ''Yes, I am your Grandpa."

Yu Mei followed the suit as she stood up, "Old Master Yu," She nodded slightly at the old man much to his disappointment. But she tried her best to ignore it as she glanced at her man, "You both seem to know each other."

Just as Jun Zixuan opened his mouth to say something, Li Shuang stepped inside the living room, "Grandpa, am I late?"

The old man glanced at her before looking at his wristwatch, ''3 minutes late."

"Uh...'' She was speechless at his aloof attitude. He just acquired two new grandchildren and her value seemed to be dropping.

Yu Mei restrained the urge to laugh as she glanced at the woman's cold face slightly scrunching up.

After they had their lunch, the newly reunited family sat in the living room. There remained a tension between Yu Mei and Grandpa Yu which was pretty much visible to all of them.

Grandpa Yu sighed as he glanced at Jun Zixuan, "What is your relationship?"

"He is my man," Yu Mei blurted out subconsciously only to go red in the face a second later.

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Her man," He repeated.

She buried her face in her palms.

Li Shuang who was playing rock paper scissors with Yu Jinhai patted her friend's back to console her.

Grandpa Yu frowned, "Ah Xuan, you shouldn't be joking with me."

"I am not," Jun Zixuan stated with equal seriousness.

Yu Mei glanced at them, trying to decipher something from their expressions but she could not understand anything. She had yet to know how they knew each other.

A vein popped on the old man's forehead, "You are engaged to Jingyi. Are you playing with both my granddaughters?"

Yu Mei raised an eyebrow at the sudden heap of information once again slammed at her face.

Li Shuang glanced at them, "Is he the cake face's mysterious fiance?"

"Is that how you talk about your cousin?" Grandpa Yu's frown got deeper. He could not understand the way these youngsters' brains were working.

"They are my only cousins," Li Shuang indifferently said, pointing her chin at Yu Mei and Yu Jinhai.

Yu Mei was suddenly reminded of the woman who had popped up in their university claiming to be Jun Zixuan's fiancée. They must be talking about her but how did she end up as Li Shuang's cousin? Her brain worked, trying to connect the dots. Since Li Na did not have any other kids then it was only possible that this so-called Jingyi is either related to Li Shuang's maternal family to be her cousin.

But that option is not feasible considering how the old man referred to her as 'his granddaughter' and that means she must be the daughter of Li Na's elder sister. She decided to confirm it with Jun Zixuan later on.

Grandpa Yu tried his best to calm down lest his blood pressure plummeted suddenly. "Did you forget that you have a fiancée?" He averted his knife-like gaze towards Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zixuan leaned back on the couch, "I don't remember anything as such."

"All the three families were present when you both were betrothed as kids," The old man spoke through gritted teeth, trying to knock some sense in his head.

"Did you see me putting a ring on her finger or ever agreeing to all this nonsense?" Jun Zixuan nonchalantly continued, "I have a wife, Grandpa. I'll appreciate it if you don't try to drive a wedge between us as my wife is a jealous person."

Yu Mei nodded understandingly, "Very jealous," She muttered under her breath. She was already jealous of his mysterious first love. Then, there was Shi Luo who was supposed to be his original fiancee, and now came a Jingyi in the picture who was his fiancee from the paternal side. She fiddled with her fingers. Why can't his first everything be her?

As if he could sense her discomfort, he grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers, his thumb grazing on her skin occasionally.

And it seemed to have worked like magic as she instantly cheered up.

Grandpa Yu pressed a palm on his chest, "Wife? You both are married?" Jun Zixuan gave him a 'We are indeed married' look and the old man felt like he was a second away from having a heart attack, "You brat, why are you calling me Grandpa?"

"My wife's Grandpa is my Grandpa too," Jun Zixuan stated his point pretty smoothly.

It was only then Yu Mei realized that he had addressed the old man as such. She was focused on the 'other women in husband's life' issue before so she missed it before.

Grandpa Yu inhaled a deep breath as he glanced at his granddaughter, ''I would be much happier if your wife could also accept me in that way."

Suddenly, everyone's attention in the room was focused on her and she got goosebumps for a moment. "What did I do?" She blinked.

The old man stood up from his seat as he walked towards her and held her hands in his.

She pursed her lips and cleared her throat before looking at Jun Zixuan for help.

The man gave her a 'You can do it' look.

She stood up from the couch left with no other choice.

"Girl, I know you are angry at me for my past mistakes. I-" The old man paused as he tried to come up with proper words.

"You have got some misunderstandings here," She spoke up, "I am not angry with you neither do I care about the past. Back then, I was not who I am today..."

Yu Jinhai froze.
