Married to his secret crush

Chapter 59 - My Knight In Shining Armor

'Crack'

??

Eh… That's not how a slap sounds like, does it?

Moreover, she did not feel any pain at all.

When she felt the girl's grip on her hand loosening, she opened her eyes to find out what was going on.

The girl who was about to slap her a moment ago had her face stained with tears, her makeup was already destroyed as she winced in pain.

The hand that was raised to slap her was held by Jun Zixuan. He was holding the girl's wrist with one hand while his other hand was tucked inside his pocket, a nonchalant expression remained on his face.

His chestnut-shaded eyes were covered with a sheen of coldness.

'My knight in shining armor' was the first phrase that came to her mind as she suddenly felt so touched to see him here.

Everything seemed normal except for the 'crack' sounds.

Was her bone displaced?

Yu Mei blinked. She has witnessed his abnormal strength before.

"Ahhhhh…." The girl's miserable shriek reverberated in the grand hall.

But just like nobody walked out to defend her before, they watched this view from the sidelines too, without bothering to interfere.

In the next second, the girl was thrown to the floor while the man walked towards her. Taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, he wiped his hand properly before throwing it aside.

"Are you fine?" He asked concernedly, looking at her pale face.

She blinked again, "I…"

"Who the hell are you? Her gigolo? Slap her. I'll pay you more if you come to my side. I'm the Mayor's daughter," The woman who was watching the scene quietly, now walked towards him.

Jun Zixuan didn't spare her a glance neither did he look offended as he glanced at Yu Mei, "Did they bully you?"

"They did," She said pointing her chin towards the wet patch near the waistline of her dress, "She drenched me with alcohol," She softly said. She was just going to the washroom, why did they have to stop her from doing that?

She leaned closer to Jun Zixuan as her legs were aching all over.

"_" The mayor's daughter nearly lost her footing. You call that being drenched? Did you take a proper look at me?

"_" Even the crowd felt that the victim was a bit shameless.

The man followed her gaze, his gaze slightly darkening when he noticed a few hair strands on the floor and her messy hairstyle.

Feeling her leaning onto him, he stilled for a moment, "Why is your hand so cold?" He asked when his hand came in contact with hers.

He pressed the back of his hand on her forehead only to realize that her body was going cold.

He immediately removed the suit jacket before wrapping it around her body.

Given her weight, it didn't fit.

He hugged her tightly keeping it in place, "Mei… Are you feeling better now?"

She nodded, "I…I'm fine. Just…Let's go back to the resort," She said leaning her head against his chest.

"Fine," Holding her in his arms, he walked towards the exit.

"Wait right there…" The Mayor's daughter shouted, stopping them in their tracks. Nor did she once cared about the girl who was her friend, currently sitting on the floor with tears and mucus all over her face. "Daddy~ Bohoooo.."

"What? How audacious of these nobodies to treat my baby daughter like this?" The Mayor shouted in fury after his daughter described the whole incident to him. She even described how they bumped, and how Yu Mei should've apologized for bumping into her.

And the Mayor did not find anything wrong with that.

He looked at the onlookers who just watched the drama standing at the side. Anger burned in his eyes but they were all people he did not want to make enemies with, be it those politicians or those Presidents.

He aimed his wrath at both the people whose back was facing the crowd. His daughter said that they were the ones responsible for this.

"Do you know who I am? After what you did to my daughter, do you think I'll easily let you go after this?" Although he found the man's back a bit familiar but given that Jun Zixuan had removed his suit jacket, he could not pinpoint it exactly if he knew him.

"It was her who bumped into me and she wanted me to apologize to her," Yu Mei's soft voice reverberated in the quiet corner of the hall.

The slow music had long been turned off because of the commotion. The massive crowd was gathered all around them to find out what will all of this lead to.

"Daddy….Boohoo…" The woman cried, clinging to her father's arm.

The Mayor patted her head, "Don't cry, baby…." He turned to look at Yu Mei's back, "She is my daughter, the Mayor's daughter. So what if she wrong? Do you think apologizing is enough? Kneel on the ground and rub your nose. The consequences of messing with my baby daughter…Is it something people like you can afford? I can crush an ant-like you with a snap of my fingers."

"Is it so?" Jun Zixuan turned around, still having Yu Mei in his embrace.

"C-Chief?" The Mayor retreated a few steps.

''From this day onwards, you don't need to fulfill the responsibilities of the Mayor anymore. It has been keeping you busy. Sit at home and raise your baby daughter," Jun Zixuan said, his voice low and casual.

The Mayor closed his eyes in desperation but he didn't say a word to oppose the man.

The crowd was astonished. Except for a few people who recognized Jun Zixuan, the rest did not understand what was going on here? This person eliminated the Mayor just like that?

"Daddy, what…"

"Shut up," The Mayor glared at his foolish daughter, "It's all over…Over…" He murmured to himself before walking away.

Out of all the people he gave her the right to provoke, she had to mess with this man.

Looking at her father's retreating back, the woman's eyes shone with indignation and hatred. She glared at Yu Mei before focusing her gaze on Jun Zixuan, "She poured two bottles of alcohol on me. She…" She pointed at her drenched body, "It was her who did this to me. She is acting innocent in front of you. It was her who started everything. What gives her the right to do so?" She cried, appearing as pitiful as she can.

A few words from this man and her father's position was gone. The man who was supposed to be a handsome gigolo was much more than she had imagined.
