Left with no choice, he called the bodyguard he left for her to drive the car.

The man answered the call on the second ring.

"Where is she?" Jun Zixuan asked, loosening the collar around his neck. The reply from the other side made his face darken.

He hung up the call before glancing at Gu Min who was driving the car, "Take a turn. Drive to the Central slum area."

Gu Min frowned, "What is Miss Yu doing at a place like that?'' Since he overheard their conversation, he could not help but be curious as to why a woman like Yu Mei Zhen would want to go to dirty places like slums.

"I don't know."

"Well, Brother Xuan, I got the recordings from yesterday's party," He passed his phone to Jun Zixuan and continued, "It seems like Miss Yu was lying about being bullied. She really poured the wine on the Mayor's daughter."

Jun Zixuan did not speak a single word as he watched the full video.

His brows tugged together.

Gu Min, who was glancing at the man's reaction from the rearview mirror shook his head in pity. He truly pitied Yu Mei at this point but who told her to lie to a man like Jun Zixuan? Did she think he would never know?

"When did she lie? They bullied her," Jun Zixuan said nonchalantly as he passed the phone to him, "That woman bumped into her. Instead of apologizing, she demanded an apology and tugged her hair. And she made attempts to beat her. Mei just paid them back for everything."

Gu Min was speechless. Looking from his point of view, it seemed true. But was Brother just being logical or is he blindly supporting his wife? He wondered to himself.

"Did you investigate them?"

Gu Min nodded, "The Mayor's daughter was a drug addict. The drink that accidentally got splashed on Miss Yu had the drug in it which is why that woman's reaction was extreme after it got wasted. As for the rest of the things, we are sure that no one is connecting you to the CEO of Eminence because of your age. So, you can rest assured that news regarding this matter will not reach Amaranthine. All of them will keep their mouths shut."

"Make that woman bald and take care of those lackeys," He coldly said.

It didn't take long for Gu Min to realize that he was talking about the Mayor's daughter. She just tugged a few strands of hair from Miss Yu's head, do you really have to be so ruthless?

And who said the couple's relationship was not good. If their relationship was not good, why would the man be so protective towards his wife?

Jun Zixuan looked outside the window. The sky was turning dark already. "Drive fast," He said.

Going to such a dangerous place alone, what was that woman thinking of?

...

Yu Mei walked out of the slum area only to see Jun Zixuan getting out of Gu Min's car. She walked towards him, "Why are you here?"

''What are you doing here?" The man asked looking at her round face filled with sweat, her chest heaved up and down and her face was flushed.

He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket before throwing it at her.

She grabbed it and blinked at him before extending her hand towards, "Why don't you wipe it instead?" She asked him, pointing at her forehead.

He pursed his lips before putting one of his hands inside his pocket, "Do it yourself."

She shoved the handkerchief in his other hand, "I have worked too hard. Can't you see I don't have the energy for this?"

He was speechless.

"But you have the energy to argue with me," He rubbed his temples before dabbing the handkerchief on her face. Her fluffy cheeks bounced with his touch. "You're so spoiled," He sighed.

''_" Gu Min and the bodyguard who was assigned to drive Yu Mei were standing behind them. At this point, they were quite stunned. Which bastard spread the rumors that the couple doesn't go along well?

Although they were fighting, but it was more like a couple's bickering. No hard feelings are involved.

Yu Mei shrugged. She had her own work and responsibilities to look after but when it came to such small things, her brother would never leave the chance to pamper her and she was very used to it.

Her eyes flickered. She expected to see Jian Yu at the party yesterday but her hopes were all crushed.

"Ouch…" She glared at the man who flicked her forehead harshly.

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes. The lost expression on her face…it was as if…whatever it was, he did not like the sight of it.

"What were you doing here?" He repeated his question looking at the slum areas.

With the foul stench, stray dogs and cats, dirty kids covered in mud, broken houses, the locality was not an ideal place for looking around or sightseeing. Then, what was she doing here?

"I'll tell you later," She averted her gaze, looking at the two men standing behind him.

"Now," He said with a stern gaze, not giving her a chance to retaliate.

She raised an eyebrow. Fine then, don't blame me later. She opened her mouth to speak, ''Yesterday, the things you got for me…as in the sanitary…mmm…"

He pressed his hand on her mouth, stopping her from speaking further.

As she opened her mouth to bit his hand, the man instinctively retracted it from her mouth, "What? You don't want to know anymore?" She smirked.

He cleared his throat, "Let's discuss it later."

"No, I want to discuss it now."

He held the back of her collar before dragging the woman towards his car.

He paused in his tracks and turned around to look at his bodyguard and Gu Min, "Enjoying the movie?" He asked in a tone laced with sarcasm.

Gu Min dazedly nodded only to come back to his senses, "Not like that..."

"You both can leave together," He said coldly before dragging the woman with him.

"Wait Wait!" Yu Mei resisted while getting inside the car.

He loosened his grip on the collar of her blue dress, "What now?"

''I'll drive," She said, pointing towards the driver's seat.

"Moreover, do you even know how to drive?"

"Although I don't have a driving license, I can drive. Moreover, aren't you there with me? It should be fine. After you drove yesterday, I don't have it in myself to sit beside you," She shook her head helplessly before opening the door of the shotgun seat for him.

He sighed before getting inside the car, "I drove like that because we had to get medicines for you."

She laughed, ''I know but just give me some time to forget yesterday's 'nightmarish' ride." She felt like vomiting just at the reminder of how fast he drove.

As she entered the driver's seat, he glanced at her side profile, "So, you were here for?"

She glanced at him for a moment before focusing on the road. Just when he thought she will not reply, she opened her mouth to speak.

''The last time when we came to the temple, I had noticed this place. After searching…."
