Married to his secret crush

Chapter 380 - Unexpected Visit

Just as Jun Zixuan was about to say something, he received a call from the security at the entrance of Ren Mansion, ''Okay, let them in,'' He said before looking at Yu Mei, ''Han Family members.''

Yu Mei frowned before she looked at Mia who was in her fox form but was still sipping the juice with her cute little limbs. She was caught between laughter and tears, ''Are you not switching back to your human self?" She asked her.

Mia clumsily placed the glass aside before shaking her head.

''Okay, Your Highness, I hope you don't hold grudges for this then,'' She picked her up in her arms before patting her head elegantly.

Mia was speechless, ''Are you treating me as your pet now?"

''I asked you. You didn't take the chance. So, sit in my arms and be petted like this,'' Yu Mei said while smiling not so kindly. It has been a long time since she last teased Mia.

As he looked at their interaction, Jun Zixuan shook his head as he wiped his mouth with a napkin before he picked up another one and pushed himself to his feet. He walked towards the chair beside his before he cleaned Yu Mei's mouth.

She mouthed a 'Thank you' as he pulled the chair and she stood up, ''Why do you think they are here and which members?" She glanced at him questioningly.

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the entrance.

She followed his gaze and saw an old couple walking inside. While the old man looked stern and indifferent, the old lady appeared kind and gentle.

She recognized the old man as Old Master Han so the woman beside him should be Old Madam Han.

Yu Mei smiled slightly at them.

As all of them took a seat on the couch of the living room, Old Madam Han said, ''All of them met you before. So, I decided to come here to meet you as well.''

Yu Mei stroked Mia who was lying on her way, ''It's good that you came over,'' She nodded.

Old Master Han was quiet for a few moments as he glanced at Yu Mei before looking at Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow and the old man glanced at him for a few seconds before averting his gaze to Yu Mei, ''You can come to Han Mansion when you want,'' He said, his gaze wandered off to the white animal in her hand which looked somewhat like a cat if not for its long fluffy tail, and ears larger than cats.

Yu Mei nodded as she smiled, ''I have been rather busy with work so I was unable to visit you. How have you been feeling lately, Old Master Han?" She asked.

Old Madam Han frowned, ''You can call us Grandpa and Grandma. There is no need for formalities.''

Yu Mei smiled slightly but she did not respond to them as she nodded. Initially, she used to be curious about them but after knowing that they were her grandparents, there was this wish in her heart to know them better. But she believed it was better to hold back on a few things.

While Jun Zixuan and Grandpa Han sat in the living room discussing work matters or any common interest, Yu Mei showed Grandma Han around the Ren Mansion.

''I find it beautiful,'' Grandma Han said, ''I have always heard of this place's extravagance but have never been here.''

Yu Mei nodded. The Han Family was rich, influential and low-key. But Ren Mansion being an exclusive private property did not allow anyone on the premises.

Initially, the Han Family were in Amaranthine as their ancestral mansion was there but later they came to Beijing and settled here after Han Jing's military duty period was over.

''Had your mother been here, she would have been happy seeing her daughter being cherished like a Princess,'' The old lady said as she turned to look at Yu Mei.

''You knew my mother?" She did not expect the Han Family to be this close to Yu Li Na, who in reality was not her mother but her biological Aunt.

''I did. The Yu Family, Han Family and Jun Family have been old friends,'' Grandma Han said, noticing her confusion, ''Though we have not been in touch for many years, but the friendship remains. I saw your mother when she was a child. Sigh, that child suffered…''

Yu Mei pursed her lips.

Is she thinking about her mother? Grandma Han felt sad that she reminded her of that unpleasant memory, ''Seeing you… reminds me of someone..''

Yu Mei stiffened, feeling her palm on her head, ''Someone?"

''My granddaughter, Han Mei Zhen,'' The old lady said.

That came to her as a bit of surprise. Han Mei Zhen? The names… Yu Mei Zhen and her used to share the same names. But how…? "Han Mei Zhen?" She asked, looking quite unaware of it.

The old lady seemed to have snapped out of her trance as she looked down before looking at her hand, ''This….'' She pointed her finger towards the white little things in Yu Mei's arms.

''It's a fennec,'' Yu Mei answered.

Mia scoffed inwardly before she elegantly turned in Yu Mei's hand, gently swishing her tail.

Afraid that the old lady would be tired, Yu Mei did not take her around further as they walked downstairs, ''You should come here more often-'' The rest of her words were stuck in her throat when her gaze landed on the person standing at the entrance.

''Jingyi, you are here,'' Grandma Han smiled warmly.

Han Jingyi smiled as she pointed at the bodyguards behind her, ''I have made sure to get the gifts from the car,'' She said.

Grandma Han nodded, ''Keep them inside.''

Yu Mei looked at the gifts before looking back at the old lady, ''There was no need for this.''

''It is our first time coming to visit you. How could there be no need?" She asked.
