Married to his secret crush-Chapter 28 - Fellow Concubines Of The Same King

As Jun Zixuan gaze turned colder at her words, she smiled at him, "Wanna strangle me? You will hurt your mother if you do that. After all, I am her favored daughter-in-law," Although she said that, she could not help but wonder how would a mother be so cruel to her own son.

Why would she want him to marry an ugly, fat, and scheming girl like the previous owner?

Jun Zixuan pursed his lips, "She won't like it if you try to commit suicide again?"

"Commit suicide?" She repeated in disdain, "For you? Do you think you are worth it?"

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the comic book lying on the table, "Seducing my bossy husband in bed…Aren't you learning tricks from here? It won't work."

Her lips twitched slightly. She casually picked up the book to act normal. Little did she know it would turn out to be so controversial.

"After our divorce, I am planning to get married to one of my old flames," She sighed, "But, a long time has passed. I don't know if he still feels the same for me. So I'd try to seduce him by learning these."

And is it something you should be discussing with your current husband?

Jun Zixuan took a breath to control the urge of strangling her right there, "Why is the floor wet?" He asked coldly.

"I accidentally stepped on a cockroach so had to clean the whole floor."

He took a few steps towards her before looking straight into her eyes, "Why is your face so pale?"

She averted her gaze, "At thought of living under the same roof with you, I could not sleep for the whole night."

"I'm not interested in living with you. So, you should bother yourself with your nonsensical imaginations," When she didn't look at him, he lowered his body to her height and pinched her chin tilting her head upwards, "Between us, nothing will ever happen. Our relationship will always be an illusion to the outsiders. When they see us as a happily married couple, it will be nothing more than a…pretense."

Her starry eyes looked at the man deeply.

'Thump!' His heart skipped a beat.

That pair of eyes.

He loosened his grip on her chin before standing straight.

Her gaze was intense as she spoke, "Whatever you said today, do remember it well."

"I will."

"What about our divorce?" She asked coldly.

"We'll talk about that after having breakfast," With that he turned around and starting walking towards the door.

"Lock the door," Her voice made him pause but he didn't turn around.

Without speaking a word, he locked the door and left the room.

As soon as he left, Yu Mei leaned back on the headrest of the bed weakly for a few minutes before pushing herself out of the bed.

She opened the drawers of the bedside table and took out the wet towels that she used to wipe the floor. She even used the perfume to cover the blood stench.

She removed the silk robe from her body, revealing the blood-soaked pajamas.

Her body felt numb all over but she let out a sigh in relief. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

The moment Steward Gu left, she already knew the situation might turn out to be like this and the man did prove her right.

But luckily Jun Zixuan had the decency to not check her room or else she would have been done for.

She walked towards the mirror and looked at the reflection. Her face was deathly pale but even with this amount of blood loss, she did not suffer any extreme consequences except for a little weakness.

Any normal person would die after bleeding for one whole night. She glanced at her palm, there were no thorn pricks from yesterday.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and entered the walk-in closet before picking up a pink trench coat. She dug her hands inside the pocket and took something out.

She intently looked at the thing.

In her palm, there was a small silver thing that resembled a furball but the face was long. It had a tail that was a little larger than its body, somewhat like a fox. The tips of the silver tail were crimson red.

There was a tiny red lotus mark on its forehead.

But foxes can't be this tiny…she thought to herself.

Moreover, where did it come from?

"My condition…has it got something to do with you?" She murmured and poked its furry but the creature's eyes remained closed.

…

'Beijing issues a rare blizzard alert, which is the lowest in the capital's four-tier warning system.?The snow which began hitting southwest Beijing at around 4 am is predicted to cover the whole city at around midnight according to Beijing Meteorological service….' f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

The news headlines caught her attention as she descended the stairs. She glanced at the television in the living room before walking towards the dining table.

While Jun Zixuan sat on the head chair of the table, she walked towards the other end before taking a seat.

She sipped her orange juice before glancing around the mansion, "Where is Steward Gu?" she casually asked.

Jun Zixuan paused his movements but did not reply. He chewed his food properly and picked up the glass of water before drinking a few sips.

Compared to his ever so elegant actions, she kept on stuffing the food inside her mouth. Shi Luo has said that her overweight might be related to other health conditions.

So, the last few days of starving herself were all in vain. Right now, she was feeling somewhat weak and extremely hungry so she didn't want to play along with her own rules anymore.

"I heard you were dieting?" The man who was silent till this moment, spoke up at this point just as she stuffed another piece of butter-spread bread in her mouth.

She choked on it before breaking out in coughing fits...

She forcefully gulped it down before drinking water, "You…Were we fellow concubines of the same king in our previous lives? Why would you always pick on me?" She glared at him.
