Married to his secret crush Chapter 36
Advertisement
"One of us could have stayed back to serve you but since Miss Yu is good at cooking and other household works, Madam ordered us to leave you both alone so that you both could cultivate feelings," Steward Gu said getting himself prepared for his punishment.
The man paused, "Is she good at cooking?" He asked thinking back to the blunder in the kitchen.
Steward Gu nodded, "Even though she doesn't look like that but Miss Yu is good at cooking and all the household works. When I had collected the report about her, I got to know that she learned all these things so that she could get close to her family and win their heart but even after working as a servant for them, those people cast her away like dirt."
The Steward could not help but feel pity for the young girl.
Jun Zixuan remained silent as he contemplated it.
"Steward Gu, you are back," A cheery voice resounded in the living room as Yu Mei made her way towards the dining table.
"Miss Yu," Steward Gu bowed to her.
"I missed you so much yesterday," She smiled at him. At least, this man could be considered her savior compared to the other servants who glared at her as if she was a witch, "By the way, I apologize for my behavior. I wasn't feeling well and I snapped at you," She said, referring to the incident where she didn't let him enter her room and spoke rudely. If not because of the 'bloody' mess inside her room, she wouldn't have done that.
"That's fine,'' Steward Gu smiled. He didn't expect her to apologize to him. Seems like she is changing her old ways.
As she took a seat, Steward Gu spoke up again, "Miss Yu, why does your face seem a little different today?" Ever since her scars and acne marks had disappeared, he was curious about it but never asked it, not wanting to overstep his boundaries.

But since she was approachable today, he decided to ask her.
Jun Zixuan raised his head to look at her face.
She stiffened.
Raising her hands, she gently touched her cheeks.
After she went back to her bathroom, that strange pain near her chest acted up once again. But this time, she didn't let her consciousness fade. Enduring the pain, she stood in front of the mirror only to find a light enveloping her chest.
And this time, somehow, she did not faint nor did the pain lasted as long as usual. The pain disappeared within fifteen minutes.
And somehow the contour of her face was a bit changed and she found her body agile than before.
"Seems like you don't want to answer?" Jun Zixuan asked.
She snapped out of her daze, "I just did a special massage before taking the bath. Maybe, that's why you feel like that…" She said, gently touching her face.
After breakfast, Jun Zixuan grabbed his suit jacket from the chair before taking out his phone from his pocket.
"Hey…" Yu Mei called out to him but the man didn't respond.
"Well, if you don't want to talk to me, it's fine, I just wanted to thank you for yesterday," Seems like he is back to his 'I am an ice cube, do not approach me' self, she thought to herself before looking at Steward Gu, "Can you please drop me outside the mansion gates? I'll take a taxi from there."
Steward Gu's lips twitched as he looked at the man standing beside him.
Jun Zixuan walked away without looking at them.
That was counted as a yes… right?
Outside the mansion.
As Jun Zixuan looked at the woman getting inside the taxi and disappearing from his view, he could not help but think about what she said.

'I have my secrets.'
What secrets could she have?
Steward Gu cleared his throat, "Master, the last time, Miss Yu could not afford a taxi but right now….it seems like she has money. Do you want me to investigate it?"
"No need," The man propped his face on his index and middle finger as he continued, "We're getting divorced soon. It's good if we don't get entangled with each other."
Steward Gu looked at him through the rearview mirror in disbelief. Seems like Madam has no idea about it.
"The one who you are working for is not my mom. You should keep that in my mind."
A chill ran down his spine as the man nodded. He felt guilty for siding with Shen Lihua.
Although Miss Yu was pitiful, but she did not deserve this man. A man like his Master was someone everyone looks up to. Being one of the most influential figures in the world, the woman standing beside him cannot be useless and ordinary.
"Didn't the Mayor want to meet me?"
"Yes, he is very eager to meet you," Steward Gu responded before stepping on the accelerator.
"Tell him to make the Yu Family land in a messy situation for a while. If I like his ways, I'll meet him," Jun Zixuan nonchalantly said.
Steward Gu lost balance causing the car to be swerved towards the right.
He stepped on the emergency brake, "Master, you said you should not be entangled with her," He kindly reminded the man. Didn't he say that they will get divorced soon? What is this then?
When he mentioned how the Yu Family treated her in the past, he didn't have much of a reaction but right now… Why did it seem like he was avenging her?
"The Yu Family…is quite ugly to look at," Jun Zixuan murmured, "Besides, we are not divorced as of now."
They are a family at the top of the food chain in this country and you want them to be in a mess just because you find them ugly?
So wilful!
So arrogant!
"Got some problems?"
Steward Gu cleared his throat before stepping on the accelerator.
How can I have problems?
You are the ultimate boss here.
Doting on your wife in this way, are you sure that you didn't misread the definition of divorce? The Steward could feel those words rolling at the tips of his tongue.
In the end, he did not dare to spit them out.
