Married to his secret crush-Chapter 52 - Shi Luo, Let’s Talk

Yu Mei didn't recognize everyone given that she was not interested in movies or politics that much. Not to mention that she never followed up on news regarding China while living in Amaranthine.

The only thirteen people she could recognize were of extremely high standing and influence in the world. And secondly, she might have not known them if she had not seen them with her brother in the past. Even the Mayor was hovering around him like a fly.

Coincidentally, all these big shots walked up to a certain man she was keen on ignoring today.

It was none other than Jun Zixuan.

She licked the fork in her mouth before stabbing it on the next pastry in her plate which was waiting on the queue to be embraced by her tongue, all the while, not removing her gaze off the man who was standing amidst these bigshots with a nonchalant face.

It has been fifteen minutes since they reached the party venue and staying true to her words, she pushed Jun Zixuan away from her and settled in the darkest corner of the hall with a plate full of delicacies.

As she watched the show from a distance, her world view was almost turned upside down. She has certainly watched these people bootlicking Jian Yu in the past but watching them hovering around Jun Zixuan like bees, she was astounded at their lack of shame.

Just as she was chastising them in her mind, her phone went off.

She picked it up before swiping the answer option. Since there was only soft music playing in the background, she didn't have to bother to walk out of here to talk.

"Babe~ Where are you?" Shi Luo's energetic voice resounded over the phone.

"Shanghai," Yu Mei calmly replied taking another bite of her pastry.

"Duh, I know that. Didn't you text me about going to a party? Tell me your exact spot."

She straightened her back, "Why do you sound like you are here too?"

"I came here for some work purposes and was planning to leave after meeting you. But you texted me that you are going to a party. Coincidentally, I had the invite too so here I am… Quick, tell me where are you?"

Yu Mei nodded in understanding. No wonder Shi Luo had asked about her location. At that time, she did not understand what was going on. She looked around the grand hall trying to spot her friend but alas… "Did you just enter?" She asked.

"Yes…" Shi Luo replied from the other side.

"Alright. Look at the middle of the hall. Under the biggest blue crystal chandelier, there is a group of oldies brown-nosing Jun Zixuan. Just stand beside them and I'll go to you," She hung after she finished talking.

Standing at the entrance of the grand hall, Shi Luo glanced at her phone in a daze. Was it charging her dollars that she hung up the call in such a hurry?

Sighing to herself, she looked around the place and it didn't take her long to spot the crowd standing under the blue crystal chandelier.

She could barely make out Jun Zixuan's tall figure which was surrounded by the oldies.

Holding the front of her gown in one hand while her clutch and phone in the other, she quickly walked towards that place.

Standing beside them, she curiously glanced at Jun Zixuan but his back was facing towards her.

Disappointed, she pursed her lips and looked around the place trying to spot Yu Mei.

"Shi Luo…?"

Jun Zixuan called out while looking at the woman's side profile.

Shi Luo turned around to look at him, her large almond-shaped eyes widening a little in the process. She did not expect him to notice her in this crowd.

"Chief, she is…?" One of the men surrounding Jun Zixuan asked him while looking at Shi Luo with a doubtful gaze. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

Jun Zixuan did not reply causing the people to think that he got the wrong person.

The middle-aged man whom Yu Mei had earlier recognized as the President of the neighboring country of Amaranthine spoke up, "Chief, here is a toast to our possible future cooperation." Saying that, he emptied the contents in his glass.

Jun Zixuan didn't bother to look at him nor did he take a sip of the from his wine glance. With one of his hands tucked inside his pockets, the other was holding the wine glass, occasionally swirling the scarlet liquid inside.

His glass was still full from the very beginning. Despite everyone offering him toasts, he didn't take a sip of the wine.

It was a sign of utter disrespect and all the giants standing over there might have felt offended if it would have been any other person instead of him. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

"You can leave," Jun Zixuan said, not bothering to look at any of them.

"Chief…"

He tilted his head, narrowing his eyes, "Leave," A voice as tranquil as a lake yet nobody opposed the man.

They politely nodded at him before walking away, leaving Jun Zixuan and Shi Luo alone.

"Hey there, long time no see," She walked towards him.

Jun Zixuan nodded, "Let's talk somewhere else."

Shi Luo looked around to find Yu Mei but she was nowhere to be seen.

She was sure that the woman would curse her later when she could not find her in the ballroom. Anyway, looking at Jun Zixuan's solemn face, she could not bring herself to reject him.
