Married to his secret crush

Chapter 461 - Punctured Tyre

Shi Luo tilted her head to look at the person who was approaching them. It was that girl whom she saw getting inside Jun Boyan's car yesterday. He even opened the door for her and he let her hold his hand.

Yu Chen suddenly thought of something, ''Dr. Shi, do you want to join us for lunch?"

Before Shi Luo could say anything, Jun Boyan spoke up, ''Her date is waiting for her. I'm worried she can't join us.''

''Of course, I can't. I don't want to make him wait,'' You were shooing me away when she came. Shi Luo masked her inner thoughts with a sweet smile. She turned around and walked back to the table where Caleb was.

Caleb eyed all of them quietly.

Yu Chen glared at Jun Boyan, ''I was creating an opportunity for you. Why did you have to ruin it?"

Jun Boyan picked up the glass of wine and gulped it down. She sure seems excited about this blind date.

''What opportunity?'' The girl came to stand behind them. She looked at both of them curiously, ''Who was she?" she glanced at Shi Luo.

Jun Boyan did not answer her, ''What are you doing here?" he asked, without taking his gaze off Shi Luo.

''I was here to meet some of my friends,'' The girl answered, ''I didn't expect to meet you both here.''

Yu Chen looked at her and sighed in pity, ''Your cousin is feeling his youth.''

''Huh?"

''Go meet your friends,'' Jun Boyan said.

''Yes, I'll see you guys later,'' with that said, she left in a hurry.

''Are we going to sit here?" Yu Chen frowned.

Jun Boyan glanced at Shi Luo for a few seconds before he pushed himself to his feet, ''Let's go.''

Coincidentally, Shi Luo had turned around to look at him at this moment. 'He left?' she thought, looking at his retreating back. Didn't he say he was here for lunch? Why did he leave?

''I see there are things brewing here,'' Caleb leaned back on his chair, eyeing Shi Luo meaningfully.

Shi Luo turned to look at him. She thought about her mother's words, ''About what you said regarding marriage…. You want to get married because of certain circumstances, right?"

The man nodded, ''Don't tell me you have already made a decision,'' In fact, the matter of marriage was the only thing that he was not certain about in his life.

''I have,'' Shi Luo glanced at him in determination.

In the parking lot.

''Dammit.''

As she was walking towards her car, Shi Luo was greeted by the sight of Jun Boyan kicking his car, frustration apparent on his face, ''I thought you left already,'' she approached the man.

''I have been standing here for half an hour, the tyre has punctured somehow,'' he pointed his finger towards his car.

Shi Luo glanced at the punctured tyre before looking at him, ''You could have…''

''My phone is dead,'' he interrupted her, ''So, I can't call the driver or book a cab.''

''What about your friend?"

''I discovered this after he left.''

''I will drop you at your place. How about this?"

Jun Boyan nodded, ''That's a good idea,'' he grabbed the car key from her hand and walked towards her car.

Shi Luo followed him, glancing at his back questioningly.

''You were on a blind date. It must have tired you out. I will drive,'' he smiled sweetly, flashing his dimples. He walked to the other side of the car before opening the door for her.

''But…''

''Why do you look so pale? Are you sleepy? Come, quickly get inside so I can take you home to rest,'' he looked at her face.

Shi Luo placed a palm on her face. She looked pale? Did she look ugly? It must be the alcohol from yesterday. She quietly entered the car without further arguments.

The corner of his lips briefly tugged up.

…

''So, you live here?"

Shi Luo nodded, ''Thanks for driving me home. Do you want to come inside for a cup of tea?" She was going to drop him at his place. She still did not understand how it turned out the other way.

''Sure, thanks,'' Jun Boyan smiled, ''I will need to charge my phone as well.''

''Yes,'' Shi Luo opened the door with her fingerprint before she stepped inside, ''This is where I used to live before I moved to Beijing.''

Jun Boyan looked around the place. It was not very grand and the space was small as well but it felt cozy and warm.

His place was awfully cold even after he renovated it.

After putting his phone on 'charge', Jun Boyan 'suggested' that since it was going to take some time he would make tea for them.

Shi Luo showed him the way to the kitchen.

As he prepared the tea, he casually asked, ''So, how did the blind date go?"

''It was nice,'' Shi Luo answered, her gaze focused on his long slender fingers. In fact, she was very nervous about how it would turn out to be but surprisingly her date was that guy so it was pretty much casual and chill.

He looked at her face, ''You seem very happy,'' he remarked.

She nodded, ''Because I am.''

His movements paused. Was she that happy because the blind date turned out to be good?

''Oh, you know, he is actually my childhood friend. I didn't know anything about it until he mentioned it to me. We used to be neighbors back then and Mei and I used to play with him. There was a time he caught a cold, and I ran after him with a needle to inject him,'' she laughed at the reminder of it.

At this point, Jun Boyan had stopped making tea. His attention was solely focused on her and his eyes visibly darkened when he heard her words.

''He used to be so scared of needles that he got nightmares over it for days....''
