"Isn't that what you have always wanted? Didn't you always detest me? Didn't you want me to stay away from you? Right now when I'm doing that, why are not satisfied with it? Moreover, what do you mean by I don't talk to you like before? When have we ever had a proper conversation between us?" Her confusion was genuine about these things.

All this time, he always stayed away from his wife. Although he married her, but there was no interaction between the couple.

Even after she took over this body, all he did was bicker with her. So, what is he talking about right now? Moreover, why won't he just go against his mother's words?

Yu Mei was curious about it. Be it the Jun Zixuan during the university times or the one standing in front of her, the man has changed a lot but one thing that never changed about him was that he was still that proud man. He had an arrogance that he seemed to be born with. The man would never bow to anyone.

Then why would he give in to his mother all this time?

She understood that he loved his mother but he was not the type of person who would do anything according to someone's will. Was there something she was not aware of?

"Yes, I have always wanted you to stay away from but it's all in the past," He said without taking his eyes off her.

All in the past?

The way he behaved with her was worse compared to the way he behaved with the original owner. Then why did he say this?

"What changed now?" She asked tilting her chin upwards.

"You did," He replied.

She blinked in surprise.

Although he didn't mean it that way, but she has literally changed. Or more like she has switched with his real wife.

Looking at their compromising position, she sighed, "It's good that we are alone here, or else we would have been mistaken as a couple making out here."

Jun Zixuan cleared his throat before loosening his grip from her hand and taking a step back, "You seem pretty concerned about what they say."

She smiled, "Of course, I have a future ahead. After our divorce, I'll find a decent man for myself. So it's better to keep myself clean of these rumors."

In reality, she wanted to say that she would stay single for her whole life or just wait for the right person but these words will be very contradictory to the previous owner's man-chasing personality.

The man frowned but didn't comment any further.

"After the way you treated me that day, I don't feel like talking to you anymore," She walked towards the bathroom.

"I… Will you listen to me first?" He asked in a soft voice.

She paused before turning around to look at him. Looking at his face, she couldn't bring herself to deny, "Just this once," She said.

The corner of his lips tugged up, "Alright, just this once." He replied.

She smiled, "I'll take a shower first. Wait for me on the resort terrace."

He nodded.

…

On the rooftop.

After taking a shower and getting dressed in a pair of comfy pajamas, Yu Mei went to the terrace as they had decided but there was no one around in the enormous place. And because it was dark, she didn't wander around that much.

She walked towards the edge of the roof and stood there watching the citylights of Shanghai. "So beautiful…" She whispered, looking at the glittering lights everywhere. There was a pleasant scent in the air.

Standing at the peak of 270 meters above sea level, the open-air rooftop in this place could not get any better.

The moment the words left her mouth, the whole terrace lit up.

She gasped before turning around.

Earlier she was thinking why was it so dark on the terrace of the five-star resort. But looking at the beauty of the place now, she could not help but be amazed.

As she looked around, she could see all kinds of orchids everywhere. No wonder there was a sweet and pleasant scent in the air.

The twinkling fairy lights in the middle of the round terrace were giving off a dreamy vibe. There was a lone table along with two chairs placed under the lights. There were two wine glasses and a wine bottle placed in the middle along with a huge spread of delicious dishes on the round table.

But what made her raise an eyebrow was the theme color of the setup seemed to be pink. The color which she found to be an eyesore now.

In her previous life, her feelings were neutral towards pink. Neither did she like it nor did she hate it.

But after being reborn in this body, she didn't like the sight of this color.

The previous owner was so obsessed with pink that even the color of her shampoo, shower gel, and even her panties were pink.

Anyways…

Did she interrupt someone's date?

Since Jun Zixuan is not here anyway, she decided to leave before they come here.

Just as she took a step towards her, a hand grabbed her wrist from behind.

She was startled but just as she prepared her fist in a punching position, a voice came from behind.

"Where do you think you are going?"

She turned around to look at the man in exasperation, "When will you stop scaring me?" She patted her chest.

"Who told you to be a scaredy-cat?" The man spoke nonchalantly.

She pursed her lips.

Earlier, he was asking why she was not talking to him. But with a poisonous tongue as such, did he really expect her to talk to him?

Humph! In his dreams.

Jun Zixuan looked at the woman who was pouting slightly. Her smooth round cheeks were puffed up and her dark eyes appeared larger than usual.

He found her adorable.

Tilting his head to the side, he snickered.

Her brows twitched in annoyance, "What are you laughing for?"
