Married to his secret crush

Chapter 76 - Lucky To Marry A Man Like Him

The 'clicking' sounds caused by her heels got his attention. The man tilted his head before scanning her from head to toe.

The sky had already turned dark and under the streetlights, she could see his gradually darkening face. She paused where she was "Did I make you worried?" She softly asked. Reminded of his '97' missed calls, she continued, "I…"

"If something happened to you, I would not know how to explain to mom regarding her daughter-in-law's frivolous ways," The man spoke coldly, his voice laced with a layer of sarcasm.

"Fr-Frivolous?" She pointed her index fingers towards herself, disbelief written all over her face. In 23 years of her life, never once had she been called 'frivolous'. What the…!

"Baby, you forgot this…" Shi Luo's loud voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

She turned around immediately, only to find the woman being stopped by the security.

"Miss, is she with you?" The security guards glanced at her.

Yu Mei nodded absent-mindedly.

The security guards let her in.

At this moment, Shi Luo's brain had already stopped working. Holding the shopping bag in her hands, she stood rooted to her spot glancing at Jun Zixuan standing beside shock.

Earlier when she called Yu Mei, she did not notice Jun Zixuan standing beside her because of the angle. She never expected him to stand here waiting for his wife or else she wouldn't have come here.

'Fuck…' She cursed in her mind and turned around to leave.

''Miss, where are you going?"

"I…My house is on fire...I have to go now,'' In these guards were not letting her in and now they were not letting her go.

What do you people want? Just let me go before the devil recognizes me and interrogates me.

Just as she has taken a few steps sneakily, a cold voice stopped her in the tracks, "Shi Luo?"

She stiffened. Your Highness Prince Jun, do you have a cat's eye? How could you recognize me from there?

The place she was standing at was especially dark and she had even turned around the moment she noticed his presence.

"Cough…" She straightened her back and entered the gate with confidence, keeping her gaze straight. Do you think I am afraid of you? Humph!

"You both know each other?" came the man's question.

'Sssss..'

Shi Luo's balloon-shaped confidence was poked with a needle.

"Jun Zixuan? I didn't recognize you because of the dark. What are you doing here with my friend?" Shi Luo grabbed Yu Mei's hand and glanced at the man as if she just noticed him.

"Then why were you running away?" Jun Zixuan folded his arms across his chest before leaning back on his black Bentley.

"Who ran away? I just thought I left something in my car," Shi Luo calmly said, "You didn't answer my question."

"Neither did you," Came his cold reply.

"Oh my god…" Shi Luo glanced at Yu Mei as if she just realized something, "Baby, don't tell me he is the best husband of yours about whom you always bragged about?"

Jun Zixuan's expression changed in a moment. Did she brag about him? His cold gaze gradually softened as he glanced at the woman with an expectant gaze waiting for her answer.

Yu Mei: "_" Why did I become a part of the conversation?

She glanced at Jun Zixuan who was strangely giving off the vibes of spring and then looked at Shi Luo who looked like she will murder her if she uttered the wrong dialogue.

Damn, someone give me the script. What am I supposed to say?

Whatever she said might end her up in trouble. She has always been fighting and bickering with Jun Zixuan in person so if she agreed to what Shi Luo said, then she might come off as playing hard-to-get. Given the previous owner's scheming nature, Jun Zixuan will think that she was pretending all the time.

If she denied it, then Shi Luo's lies would be busted.

She regretted not giving her friend some details of the backstory. Like what kind of person Yu Mei Zhen was. If she had known, things wouldn't have come to this.

Shi Luo patted Yu Mei's back, "Why don't you tell Jun Zixuan how you told me that you're very lucky to marry a man like him?"

Yu Mei held back the urge to slap her. This woman… Is she really her friend…?

When there was no reply from her, Jun Zixuan's face darkened.

Shi Luo gulped and pinched Yu Mei's fleshy waist as hard as she could.

"Ssss…" She sucked in a breath of cold air, "There are mosquitoes here…" She slapped away the woman's hand from her back. Only then did she notice the gloomy clouds hovering above Jun Zixuan's head. Did he already misunderstand her?

"I did say that I am married and I have a nice husband," She started, clearing her throat. It was better to come clean before he charges her guilty of scheming against him.

Just as Jun Zixuan's face was turning to normal, the heartless woman shot an invisible arrow aimed at him, "But I never bragged about him. Why would I do so?''

Shi Luo, who noticed the right pattern in Jun Zixuan's mood change inwardly facepalmed herself. Instead of coaxing him, her friend obviously provoked him further.

'Tsk tsk. Poor Mei~' She clicked her tongue.

…

''Cough...Cough…." Yu Mei walked around the living room, trying to initiate a conversation with the man who seemed to be keen on ignoring her.

Things were already very awkward between them and Shi Luo had to pour some oil in the fire.

Jun Zixuan, who was sitting on the couch, treated her like air. She deliberately walked closer to him before letting out two louder coughs. But the heartless man simply picked up two earplugs from the coffee table before putting them inside his ear.

After which, he continued working on his laptop once again without paying attention to her.
