Married to his secret crush Chapter 72
Advertisement
She did not have had any alcoholic drinks neither was the latte she had in the café drugged or anything like that. Then, why did she suddenly had such wayward thoughts?
How could she harbor such lusty and dirty thoughts for him? Like hell, he was even concerned about her health and that made her guiltier.
''He is my friend for god's sake…'' She splashed more water on her face. Was it because she saw him naked? But why does it matters? He has always been so handsome and she never thought of something like this before.
"It must be the body…Yes…" The original owner of the body was head over heels for him so it must be some lingering affections that she left behind. Yes. She convinced herself. That must be it.
That was the only possible explanation to her!
She walked out of the bathroom only to find Jun Zixuan standing in front of the wardrobe, still with that towel wrapped around his waist. Water dripped down from his hair landing on his shoulder before gliding across his rock-hard chest and then…
She closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she got her focus back onto his face, "What are you doing here?"
He turned around to glance at her before raising his hand to show the T-shirt and pair of shorts he was holding in his hand, "To get this."
She frowned, "Why did you not keep it in your room?"
"This is the only room here," The man replied, much to her shock. She remembered how reluctant he was to live in this penthouse when Steward Gu mentioned it.
No wonder, he was sitting on the couch when she woke up this morning. She had slept all day and all night long yesterday so she did not notice anything amiss.

"Wait…Is this a penthouse or a 1 BHK flat?" What kind of penthouse has only room inside it? "I say…they must have fooled you with this property to extort money from you."
He chuckled. The sound of his deep and magnetic laughter made her freeze for a split second. She gazed at his canine teeth slightly peeking out of the corner. It made him appear sexier.
When the man stopped laughing, he noticed her solemn face, "I had renovated the plan and converted the other bedrooms in this place to study, library, movie theatre and many such."
She shook her head in disbelief, "Why would you do that? What if someone visited you?"
"No one comes to this place except Mom but she never lives here," Just as she opened her mouth to speak, he continued, "No guests either. And you were not included in my plans," Even though he was already married to her when he renovated this place, but he never thought to bring her to this place.
She pouted.
His gaze wandered to her plump lips forming a pout, reminding him of how soft they were against his lips.
He immediately turned around to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The man paused, "Come to have your dinner after you're ready," He said before leaving the room.
What's with that cold voice again? She walked towards the king-sized bed before slumping on it. Looking at her reflection in the mirrored ceiling, she decided it was time to change some things. The things that were never meant to be. Time for action!
After taking a shower and getting changed, she joined Jun Zixuan at the dining table.
The man was back to his aloof self once again. He did not pay attention to her and kept eating his food.

''Back in the resort, you told me that you will start the divorce procedures as soon as your mom is not around us," She started, without touching the food in front of her.
Since his mother could not be given shocks or disappointments to not affect her health condition negatively, they had discussed that they will get divorced and if the situation asks for it, they will pretend to be a couple in front of her. Given that his mother is not hovering around them like a queen bee right now, this was the best time to go for it.
Jun Zixuan paused.
"So, when are we getting divorced?" She asked calmly, not wanting to deal with a moody husband anymore.
She just wanted to find her brother and live a carefree life like before.
The man's face replied, "The procedure is going on," He replied in a cold voice that made her lose her appetite in an instant.
She stood up from her chair without touching her food. "Thanks for the food," Grabbing an apple from the fruit basket, she walked inside the room.
Jun Zixuan tilted his head down to continue eating but somehow the food on the plate looked unappetizing.
He pursed his lips and grabbed the silk napkin to wipe his mouth.
He stood up from his chair and walked towards the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator, he grabbed the bottle of fresh fruit juice before twisting the lid.
Just then, the door to the Master's bedroom opened again and Yu Mei walked out, eating the apple.
Dressed in a bunny printed pink pajama, her thick hair was tied in a messy braid. She looked like a chubby porcelain doll.
Her tongue peeked out to lick her bottom lips every time she took a bite of the fruit.
Lub dub!
So cute. He swallowed hard.
She extended her hand towards him.
He raised an eyebrow before tilting his head down to look at her closed fist.
She opened her fist revealing the car keys.
Holding his left hand, she put it on his palm and wrapped his fingers around it.
His face darkened.
"Thank you for being so considerate but you really don't need to do this. I'm fine without a car," She will be fine without it for a few days. After some time, she will get herself a car. Till then, she will have to make do with the cab.
"You can keep it."
She shook her head before opening her mouth.
