Married to his secret crush Chapter 18
Advertisement
Shen Lihua poured a little amount of wine in her glass before filling her son's glass to the brim, "You think I'm such a narrow minded person? It's been a long time since you married my 'friend's daughter', yet you never treated her as a wife. But I don't hold a grudge against you," She raised her glass towards him, "Here, let me drink another toast to you. I'll finish it first."
After finishing the contents in her glass, she looked at her son, "You don't want to drink?" The gentle smile on her face slipped a little.
"I'll finish it," Jun Zixuan raised his glass to his mouth before finishing its content despite the burning sensation in his throat.
His vision was blurry and he was dizzy after the second glass but his mother was not done yet.
She poured yet another glass for him, "Marriage is a huge responsibility. Since you have married her, I believe my precious would not hurt Yu Mei anymore," She finished her drink before looking at him with a gentle smile, "Don't you want to drink it, Ah Xuan?"
''I-I will…" With that he emptied the glass.
It went on for a few times until he could not think things clearly.
Shen Lihua looked at him, "Look at you, still not used to alcohol," She shook her head before calling her driver, "Pick him up from here and drop him at Ren Mansion." She then looked at her son who was blinking again and again trying to clear the effects of the wine, "As a married man, you are supposed to live with your wife. I hope you don't forget that, son."
Jun Zixuan looked at his mother blankly trying to comprehend what she was trying to say.

Shen Lihua smiled gently before patting his head, "Go ahead, I wish you good luck for tonight."
*Flashback ended*
Yu Mei waved her hand in front of him and the man snapped out of his daze as he looked at her face with furrowed brows. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.
Looking at his strange expressions, she raised her hands to touch her cheeks. Did something happen to her face when she was asleep?
Her eyes and eyebrow changed whenever she felt that pain in her chest, and last night the pain was so intense to the point that she passed out. Does that means….?
The direction of her thoughts made her heart beat rapidly in her chest. No… It can't be..
She hurriedly looked around and picked up a small white square device from her bedside table before pressing the switch on it.
The large pink wardrobe immediately turned around before revealing a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.
As she looked at her face in the mirror, she inwardly sighed in relief. When Jun Zixuan looked at her with that strange gaze, she thought her face changed to how she looked as Han Mei. It would've been terrible that way, she did not want to be seen as a monster whose face changed overnight.
Feeling a hard stare on her, she tilted her head to the side, "I have been dieting in the last week. With a lots of fruits and water, I am trying to regain my lost beauty," The scars and acne marks in her face was all gone overnight.
Jun Zixuan did not comment on her statement much to her relief. Seems like he did not remember much from yesterday or else he would've known that she still had that bumpy and ugly face last night. Since he has not seen her recently, he won't find her explanation weird, right?

Yu Mei looked at the man who was staring at her blankly for a few good minutes already. Before he could blame her about anything, she spoke up, "Look, it was not intentional. I didn't want to sleep with you. I.." Darn! How was she going to explain what happened to her yesterday?
There was no way she could say 'Hey, I've recently transmigrated and my soul is unable to fit inside your wife's body properly which is why I am having some trouble accompanied with occasional chest pains.'
Jun Zixuan looked at her defensively, "What did you do to me last night?" His voice sounded a bit hoarse but his accusatory gaze successfully got onto her nerves.
Why was he looking at her like she raped him? "What do you mean by what did I do?" she asked, frustrated.
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Speak. What happened between us last night?" Although there were a few things he wanted to ask, but this one was most important.
"Am I obliged to say it?" Didn't she make it clear already? She looked at him, "I am being polite. That doesn't means you can order me around."
The man glanced at her for a long time until she couldn't take it anymore. She pushed her heavy body out of the bed before speaking, "Looking at me like that, you are making me very shy. Or should I think that you have fallen for me?"
Jun Zixuan stood up from the bed, "You are delusional," He muttered before buttoning his shirt and adjusting his collar. Without looking back at her, he walked out of her room.
Yu Mei let out a sigh of relief before walking towards the bathroom. Seems like he did not doubt her words.
In the Master bedroom.
Jun Zixuan was sitting on the couch with Steward Gu standing in front of him with his head bowed.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Steward Gu asked, feeling the tense atmosphere in the room.
"Tell me about her," He spoke up after a long time.
"About Miss Yu?" Steward Gu asked.
Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes, "Yes, tell me if you have noticed something unusual about her after she woke up from the coma," He said.
"Unusual?" Steward Gu looked at the man in confusion but after sometime, he spoke up, "In fact, there are a few things I find weird."
