Married to his secret crush

Chapter 395 - Something Happened

Jian Yu… Han Jian Yu… The name was not a rare name and all this while, he never thought that the President of Amaranthine was none other than that young boy from the past. More than two decades passed and it was impossible to recognize him by his face.

Unlike his wife, Han Jing had never been that close to Han Jian Yu because he was not around when Han Sheng brought Han Jian there. But he had fondness towards the boy after he met him.

Han Jing and Han Suyin wanted to stay a little longer, to get to know Yu Mei and be around her while talking to Han Jian Yu about their childhood. But at the same time, the atmosphere was a bit tense after Han Jingyi was brought up.

When asked about the past, Han Jian Yu did not hide anything as he confessed about how that nanny took Han Mei and dashed to the streets while he followed after them. And later, the accident caused him to lose his memory and it was not until recently that he remembered everything.

After both of them left, Han Jian Yu also did not stay around in the mansion for long.

''Did you tell brother about this?" Yu Mei asked Jun Zixuan who shook his head.

''He was here for her,'' He said.

''But Mia is not around. I wonder what happened between them and if they will ever sort it out properly,'' She mumbled.

Jun Zixuan nodded, ''He was here for that. If I am not wrong, he was here to talk it out with her,'' he said to which Yu Mei nodded slowly. After a brief pause, he continued, ''But it looks likes Mia doesn't want to talk to him.''

''Mia once told me…that she is not the kind of person who will fall in love with someone. Do you think she is drawing a line for that? To not let brother be hurt in future?"

Jun Zixuan did not think that Han Jian Yu was the kind of man who would fall for someone either but right at this moment, it looked like his feelings for Mia ran deep. Although he was not being vocal about anything, but him standing at a spot, looking around the mansion, spoke a lot.

Jun Zixuan held Yu Mei's hand before guiding her to the couch, ''So, how was it? How did it go?"

Yu Mei pulled back from him before she leaned back and lied down, placing her head on his lap, ''When I heard they are here, I was excited and there was an anticipation in my heart about how this would go…'' Having not many expectations from things like family or parents, she was surprised that they came to meet her as soon as they knew about it, ''A little anxious when they said that they wanted to talk but I did not feel uncomfortable while talking with them,'' She felt warmth around them.

Jun Zixuan stroked her hair quietly as he listened to her describing everything.

''After you both left the study, he told me about many things,'' One of which that got her attention that the name 'Mei Zhen'. That name was hers. She was named Han Mei Zhen. After her disappearance, Li Na had named her daughter 'Yu Mei Zhen' out of her love for her niece, as a remembrance. Both the sisters lost touch after Li Na married her adopted brother but they still kept contact with each other although it was very little, ''There has always been a feeling of.., identity crisis whenever someone called me Yu Mei Zhen but now I feel a sense of familiarity around it.''

''I can see that.''

"You had something to say before…What was it?" She tilted her head to look at him and watched as a smile made it's way on his face, ''What?" She blinked.

"I wanted to tell you about…'' His words were cut off from the middle when his phone started ringing all of a sudden.

Yu Mei sat up on the couch as she adjusted her hair. Jun Zixuan held her hand and stroked her palm, ''Give me a moment,'' He said while checking the caller ID.

Yu Mei nodded as she glanced at him curiously, ''Who is it?"

''It's Boyan,'' Jun Zixuan replied to her before he answered the call.

Jun Boyan? Yu Mei was intrigued. This brother-in-law of hers was usually busy with either his studies, his work and after he started living at Shi Luo's place, she rarely saw him at Ren Mansion.

Jun Zixuan continued stroking her palm before he answered the call, ''Bo-''

Yu Mei turned to look at him when the movement of his fingers on her palm paused while he stopped speaking.

As she turned around to look at him, there was a blank look on his face. "Zixuan, what happened?" She frowned as she asked him the moment he hung up.

But it was as if her voice was unable to reach to him as he sat there, looking at a distance.

His grip on her hand had loosened at some point and his expressions were hard to comprehend.

She placed her palm on his shoulder, ''Zixuan…''

He snapped out of his daze as he turned to look at her, "I…''

''What's wrong?" She moved her palm from his shoulder to his face, ''Tell me…'' She stroked his face. There was nothing much that his face revealed but for some reason, it felt like he was vulnerable at the moment, unlike his usual self. It was a gut feeling.

Before he could say something, Steward Gu stepped inside the mansion with a few files in his hand, ''Master, these are regarding the recent project, the ones that you asked for. We need to look into these as soon as…'' He paused, finding something amiss in the atmosphere.

Yu Mei turned to look at Steward Gu before she glanced at Jun Zixuan who did not seem to paying attention to the man's words.

''You need them right now?" She asked Steward Gu as she looked at the files.

''Within an hour. Master had scheduled it for this time and now it will be improper for us to go back on our words,'' He said.

Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan quietly as she continued stroking his face.
