Married to his secret crush Chapter 23
Advertisement
As soon as Li Shuang left the room, Yu Mei and Shi Luo were alone once again.
"Stop sniffing me like a dog, Luoluo," Yu Mei said as she leaned back on the swivel chair.
A complicated expression appeared on the woman's face as she adjusted her round glasses, "This is impossible. It is unscientific, I don't believe this. You don't smell like her. She will never use any other perfume than pristine."
Yu Mei rolled her eyes, "I am penniless right now. How can I afford pristine perfume right now? Moreover, when did I say that I am Han Mei? You are thinking in that direction because you know there are things that nobody else knows," She calmly said.
Right now, she could not even afford an ordinary perfume so she had to make do with the previous owner's wardrobe for now which was filled with everything pink.
Shi Luo pursed her lips before leaning back on her desk. She picked up the glass of water before gulping a few mouthfuls.
"Nobody except Han Mei and your mother knows that you have a mole on your left butt cheek. We have been together since we were four. Luoluo, believe me when I say that's what happened to me. I am back from the dead, aren't I cool?" She smiled at Shi Luo.
"What king of motherf*cking plot is this?! I don't believe you?" All her calmness collapsed as Shi Luo began biting her nails in anxiety.
On one hand, she did not want to believe it but on the other hand, nobody except her mother and Han Mei knew about her mole.
"Language, girl. If your precious patients who worship you hear you cursing like this, their beliefs will shatter," Yu Mei laughed.
"Tell me about your family," Shi Luo looked straight into the pair of starry eyes.
Yu Mei's lips twitched. Very nice, here is the day when she will have to prove her identity by answering the questions. Why don't you give me a questionnaire? Could it have been more ridiculous?

"Orphan. My brother and I are orphans. We have no one apart from each other as family," She answered.
Shi Luo could feel her toes curling in anticipation as her eyes glistened with tears, "Who is your brother? Tell me his identity."
This one question will prove her real identity, she thought. There were only a few trusted people who knew about her best friend's relationship with that man.
Yu Mei stood up from the swivel chair before taking a step closer to Shi Luo, "The President of one of the most powerful countries, Amaranthine, is my brother. I am the sister of Han Jian Yu. Do you believe me now?" She looked at her questioningly.
Tears rained from Shi Luo's eyes as she pounced on Yu Mei, sobbing uncontrollably. "Th-They said you…you are dead…Bohooo…"
Yu Mei felt suffocated because of her fat body and the tight hug but she still patted her back, "Shhh…Calm down, I am fine, okay?"
It took her some time to calm her down as both of them seated themselves on the couch. Grabbing a few tissues from the coffee table, Shi Luo dabbed it on her face to clean the tear stains.
Shi Luo looked at her, "That day, I waited for a long time at your favorite club but you never came. Initially, I did not want to call you because I thought you must be driving but when a few hours passed and my texts were all unseen, I dialed your number but Danny answered it. When I asked him about you, his reply was 'She is dead'. More than two weeks passed and I still couldn't contact you. I know that Danny wouldn't lie to me but how could I believe that?"
"I didn't expect it either. I was ambushed on the way to the club. When brother reached there, I was half-dead," Yu Mei sighed, "Let's not discuss that. Danny is one of my brother's most trusted men. He knows about our relationship which is why he revealed the truth to you."

Shi Luo nodded. Her eyes had a strange expression as she glanced at her from head to toe, "We've read a lot of fantasy novels together but I never imagined that you…." She could not find any words to describe it.
"Want some drama?" Yu Mei raised an eyebrow.
"There is more?" Shi Luo was stunned. It was already too much for her to digest that her best friend has died and reborn in another body.
"I am married."
"You…You…What?" She stood up from the couch in disbelief.
"Let's add some spices to the plot. I am married to Jun Zixuan," Yu Mei said in amusement.
She still could not believe that the world was so small that she ended up as his wife.
"W-Who?" Shi Luo's disbelief transformed to shock in an instant, "The one who used to hover around you in college?"
"What do you mean by hover? He used to help me like the kind guy he was. But that's the same person we are talking about. All that time, we thought of him as a kind, aloof and gentle guy. Would believe me if I said he is a devil in an angel's disguise?" Yu Mei looked at her seriously.
Shi Luo nodded. Of course, I would believe that. It was only you who got fooled by his kind and gentle attitude back then. Nobody else bought his act.
Yu Mei sighed, "Let's not talk about that headache. I'm having trouble with this body right now. It has been so long and my work-out schedule and diet have always been on point but I barely lose a few pounds. Help me with this. I don't think I can survive with this body. Even walking a few steps makes me exhausted."
"Maybe it's related to the genes," Shi Luo stroked her chin as she contemplated about it.
Yu Mei shook her head, "The people in Yu Family are all slim, graceful, and pretty. The biological mother of the previous owner of this body was also beautiful, the reason for her ending up as the mistress, I guess."
"Biological mother of the previous owner of the body? Don't talk like that. Since you have taken over her daughter's body in some bizarre way, you should be responsible for her and call her mother."
"Whatever," Yu Mei waved her hand dismissively. Terms like 'mother' and 'father' were very foreign to her ears.
Shi Luo sighed, "The gynecologist here is my friend. I'll make the appointment for you personally and inform you of the time. He will be available the day after tomorrow. Make sure your schedule is free for that day."
"What schedule? I'm an idler right now. I roam around the extravagant mansion all day long."
"Mansion? Is he very rich?"
Yu Mei sighed, "He is filthy rich, he offered me fifty million dollars for the compensation of divorce."
"Seems like we didn't know him that well before. Did you accept his money?" Shi Luo asked curiously.
Although his mannerisms and all were like that of a person with a noble identity but they didn't know much about him or his background.
"Of course not. Did he take me as a beggar? I'd rather starve to death than accepting the money being thrown at my face," Yu Mei folded her arms across her chest as she narrowed her eyes.
"You…Babe, you have a backbone," Shi Luo patted her shoulder before adjusting her round glasses.
"Er…Luoluo, lend me a few dollars. I can't afford a taxi…"
Shi Luo: "_''
