Married to his secret crush

Chapter 379 - Spitting Fire

As Yu Mei explained the events of the day to Jun Zixuan, he frowned, ''You did well,'' She would have dealt with it better if Han Suyin was not in the picture.

Even though she was not saying it, Jun Zixuan understood that she was affected by it. He could sense it.

''What's there to do in it? She has gone crazy,'' Yu Mei shook her head, ''I don't understand from where her enmity towards me comes from. Is it just because of you?''

Jun Zixuan frowned, ''We were not that close.''

''I know but she is obsessed with you,'' Yu Mei mumbled as she pinched his chin before tilting his face down, ''Shall I just wrap you up like dumpling? Leaving only your eyes, nose and lips out for view…''

He raised a brow.

She chuckled at his reaction, ''I told Luoluo about it too.''

''So, your fight is over?"

Yu Mei nodded, ''When we were kids, we used to fight over a lot of things but it would be over in a few days as one of us would realize our mistakes before apologizing.''

''I see. I can imagine Luoluo apologizing,'' He nodded seriously.

''Why can't I be the one?" She narrowed her eyes at him, even if he was telling the truth.

He pressed a finger below her chin before tilting her face upwards, ''I don't see that streak in you.''

''You.. You mean to say I don't apologize when I am wrong?" She glared at him and he could almost see her sharpening her knife.

''Of course you do. But you do that after a series of fight,'' Jun Zixuan chuckled when she made a face at him.

''It is raining,'' Yu Mei mumbled as she glanced outside the floor to ceiling glass.

Later that night, the constant sounds of the doorbell ringing woke them up.

Yu Mei cuddled with Jun Zixuan as she shifted inside the blanket, properly wrapping her limbs around him, ''You are unusually warm and comfortable,'' She lazily mumbled against his neck before nuzzling her nose there.

''Am I?" Jun Zixuan opened his eyes, feeling the movement of the person beside him, ''What do you think you are doing?" He asked

''Sleeping,'' She mumbled before nuzzling her face closer in his neck.

The doorbell kept ringing and he sighed, ''Someone is here.''

''Send them back…'' Yu Mei paused before she opened her eyes in an instant, ''It's past midnight. Who will be here at this hour?" She sat up on the bed and as the blanket slipped off her naked body, his eyes darkened.

She cleared her throat and grabbed her fluffy robe before putting it on properly.

''I will go check,'' Jun Zixuan wore his T-shirt before adjusting it near his torso properly.

''Coming with you,'' Yu Mei stepped out of the bed.

By the time they walked downstairs, Steward Gu had already opened the door and as they looked at the person standing outside, their brows tugged together, ''Mia, what happened?" Mia was drenched from head to toe and one could see her standing there lifelessly as if she would be blown away by a gust of wind at any moment.

As Yu Mei walked towards her, Mia wrapped her arms around her neck before placing her head on her shoulder, ''I am tired,'' she whispered.

Since both the women were almost same in height and figure, one would not be able to guess their age and Yu Mei felt like she was the elder sister her. But then, it was not the time to think about all this.

''What's wrong? Why are you tired?" She stroked her back.

''I am just tired…'' Mia mumbled.

Jun Zixuan glanced at Steward Gu and the later bowed before leaving the place.

Sensing the disappearance of the extra presence, Mia shifted to her fox form before she disappeared in thin air.

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes as he looked around.

Yu Mei blinked.

'I will be cultivating. You can think like I don't exist,' came the voice from her mind and after that it was all silent.

She turned around to look at Jun Zixuan, ''She is in my body,'' She said when she noticed his gaze looking for Mia.

Jun Zixuan frowned but he did not say anything.

The next few days were peaceful but in what sense, it was not clear. Either it was the calm before a storm or the peace after a storm.

And Yu Mei forced herself to believe that it was the latter given the way. A lot of things had happened lately so it had to be the latter. Or that's what she would like to believe.

Since that night, she hadn't heard from Mia and lately, her brother had gotten busy with his work so they did not see him anymore.

On this particular day, Jun Zixuan and Yu Mei were having breakfast when all of a sudden, she felt some fluctuations in her body. It was a feeling she was familiar with even though she had not felt it for a long time.

She looked around making sure that there were no servants around and sure enough, soon Mia appeared on Jun Zixuan's shoulder, ''Done playing hide and seek?" He narrowed his eyes.

And she rolled her eyes before jumping to the chair next to Yu Mei.

Yu Mei glanced at her in confusion, ''Are you fine?" She asked.

''What happened to me?'' Mia did not revert back to her human self.

''You…'' Yu Mei was abit speechless, ''Why are you like this?"

''I am embracing my real self. What's wrong with that?"

''Uh… You.. Aren't you a human, taking after your father? That's your real self as well,'' Yu Mei said a bit cautiously.

Mia replied, ''I am this for now. Any problem?" She grabbed the glass of juice beside Yu Mei's plate before drinking it.

Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan. Why did it seem like Mia was spitting fire for absolutely no reason?

It reminded her of the days when she just discovered Mia.. Back then, she used to be like this. Always grumpy
