Married to his secret crush

Chapter 456 - I Can Help You

She decided to forget about everything that happened between them before and now that her mother is aware of it, she had no other choice.

Jun Boyan and her… the equation between them was just complicated between them, even more complicated than before.

There was no relationship between them to begin with and eventually, he would move out of her house and work on his career. So, Shi Luo chose what was better and easy for both of them.

''Luoluo,'' Jun Boyan called the? woman who was working on her laptop.

''Mmm?" Shi Luo replied without looking at him.

After a few minutes of silence when he did not say anything, she finally shifted her attention from her laptop to him. She glanced at him only to find his gaze on her.

Shi Luo tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear, her fingers fiddled with the edge of her dress discreetly, ''Is there anything that you want to say?''

''Are you here for work?"

Shi Luo shifted her palms to her lap, ''To meet mom.'' It was partially a lie because although she had intended to meet her mother before going back to Beijing, her main purpose of coming here was him.

She missed him.

''Then why didn't you tell me that you are coming?" he was frustrated that he got to know about it almost 10 hours after she landed here.

He was missing her as hell in the university and later in the celebration dinner. All he wanted to do was to finish everything quickly and rush back to Beijing at midnight.

''I didn't find it necessary.''

He opened his mouth to say something but all that came out of his mouth was, ''I see.''

She nodded, ''Do you have plans for the day?"

He was quick to shake his head, ''We can…'' make plans.

His words were interrupted by the sudden ringing of her phone.

''Excuse me,'' Shi Luo picked up her phone from the coffee table. She glanced at the caller ID for some time before answering the call, ''Mom.''

Jun Boyan straightened up even though the lady was not around. He could not help it. Her mother made him nervous.

''Oh today?" Shi Luo nodded, ''Alright, in 2 hours, right? Yes, I will be there…''

He frowned. It looks like the mother-daughter duo had some plans for the day.

While talking to Shi Xia, Shi Luo was about to eat the cloud shaped cookies that Jun Boyan made for her but just as she was about to put it in her mouth, her mother's voice rang on the other side, ''And yes, make sure to cut sugar from your diet from now on. Don't drink any sugary drinks or any desserts. You must be the perfect bride instead of struggling to breathe in your wedding dress,'' she said with an indifferent voice before hanging up.

Shi Luo looked at the cookie in her hand before looking at her phone a little bit dazedly.

''What's wrong?" Jun Boyan frowned.

''N-Nothing…'' Shi Luo placed the cookie back on the plate before running inside the room.

Jun Boyan glanced at her retreating back.

…

Shi Luo stood infront of the mirror, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing an emerald green dress that hugged her curves snugly, she had replaced her round glasses with lens today and her long hair was tied in a low-ponytail.

She contacted the clothing store she used to visit and asked the manager to hand over a few nice dresses and heels to her driver, who made the payment and delivered it to her at this address.

She warned him to not mention her whereabouts to her mother.

A person can keep lying about one thing everytime and there will come a time when they will be honest, but their words won't be taken seriously at that time.

And she felt like she was standing at that point right now. Since she kept lying to her mother about Jun Boyan, now even if she told her honestly that she accidentally ended up crashing at his place, Shi Xia won't buy her words.

Earlier while talking to her mother, she felt weirdly emotional for some reason. She felt like crying so she rushed inside the room to not let him see her like that. She hoped he didn't misunderstand it.

After slapping cold water on her face for around 15 minutes, she felt better than before.

Shi Luo turned around to glance at the closed door, ''I wonder what he is doing right now..''

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door.

The corner of her lips twitched. Is it some telepathy or what?

Shi Luo walked towards the door before opening it.

''Are you going somewhere? Shall I…'' his words halted when he raised his head from his phone to look at her. His gaze roamed on her from head to toe before it settled on her face, ''...drop you?" He finished his sentence.

Shi Luo turned her face to the side. When he was looking at her like that, she did not know why she was expecting him to make a comment about her looks.

Now that he didn't do it, she felt a bit awkward but it was good that he had no idea what was on her mind.

''No, my driver is here,'' Shi Luo walked towards the mirror before looking at herself once again.

''Are you not sure about what to wear?'' he removed his sliders and climbed on the bed before leaning back on the headboard.

Shi Luo looked at him.

''I can help you,'' he spoke up again while looking at the pile of clothes on the bed.

''Thanks,'' she was not certain which dress looked proper for the occasion.

''Try this one,'' he pointed his finger towards a white dress on the edge of the bed.

Shi Luo picked it up and walked inside the bathroom.

As soon as she was out of his sight, Jun Boyan straightened up on the bed.
