Married to his secret crush Chapter 80
Advertisement
After the gym, she spent her days designing and watching one or two movies a day. Life has never been so leisurely for her before.
Jun Zixuan would usually come back after she fell asleep.
But lately, she was starting to feel there was something amiss.
Yu Mei squinted her eyes trying to adjust to the brightness invading the room through the glass windows.
Just as she was about to roll around on the bed, she found that she could not move. Only then did she notice that she was tightly locked in a warm embrace and her face was buried in the man's chest. Her eyes widened as the realization dawned upon her.
She tilted her face slowly upwards only to realize the intimate position they were in. Jun Zixuan had one of his hands wrapped around her waist as she slept on his other arm. Their bodies were sticking together like magnets. He was hugging her like she was his private bolster.
As she looked at the man's sleeping face, she had to admit that he was truly the most beautiful man she had ever laid her eyes on. One would mistake him for a beautiful angel while he slept. But the moment he woke up and put on his cold and livid expressions, he was back to the devilishly handsome bossy man she was getting to know lately.
She blinked. That was not the point here now, was it? How the hell did they end up in such positions every morning?
A few days ago, she invited him to sleep with her on the bed since the penthouse has only one bedroom. She told him that she would sleep on the couch but he did not agree to it. In, the end both of them slept together.
Because of her bad sleeping habits, she made sure to put up a high pillow wall between them. But somehow, they would wake up in such intimate positions every day.

And the pillows mysteriously disappeared too.
She frowned and poked his cheeks, contemplating about the matter. Unlike her fluffy ones, his cheeks weren't fleshy at all. A perfect jawline, straight nose…the man was perfect by every angle.
Just as she was about to poke his cheek again, he grabbed her hand before opening his eyes. Those dark eyes glared at her, "What do you think you are doing?"
She squinted, ''I was just thinking why would we…" end up sleeping in this position every day?
He interrupted her before she could finish speaking, "And why are we sleeping like this again? You said putting a pillow wall will help you in nothing moving around here and there. What happened to it?"
Looking at his serious face, her lips twitched. She was sleeping on his side of the bed. And the pillows were all thrown on the other side. She pushed herself to sit on the bed and distanced herself from him.
''It seems like I sleepcrawled to your side," She smiled at him apologetically before adjusting the collar of her nightdress. She could easily remember everything when she was drunk but during the time she slept, anything happening to her or around her simply did not register in her mind.
"Sleepcrawl?" He raised an eyebrow and propped his head on an elbow.
"Well, I can't be sleepwalking on the bed…so sleepcrawl," She stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom while mumbling curses to herself.
As she disappeared from his view, his gaze landed on the pillows thrown on the other side of the king-sized bed. The corner of his lips tugged up.
After Yu Mei returned from the gym, it was past 8:30 am, and as usual Jun Zixuan finished his usual workout routine in the gym inside the penthouse. The man was wearing a simple sports attire, the top letting his strong abdominal muscles come into view, his muscles flexed with the slightest movements.

As she slumped on the couch, he walked towards her, "Tired?" He asked looking at her red face.
She sighed, "Just not used to it," More like this body is not used to working out ever since birth.
"Alright, just sit here. I'll make the breakfast after taking a shower," With that, he stood up before walking inside the bedroom.
She sighed. It was really nice to have him around, though. She could not help but wonder to herself about how she would survive without his food after their divorce.
Later on the breakfast table, she smacked her lips in satisfaction after eating the sandwich he made for her.
She smiled at him.
"What?" He tilted his head from his plate feeling an intense gaze fixated on him.
"I was just thinking. Given your looks and culinary skills, you will be a Michelin star chef. Anything you make turns out to be so delicious after all. Say, where did you learn cooking from?" In the future, she will just join the same classes to make food as good as him.
"Self-taught,'' He replied taking a small bite of sandwich.
"As if I'd believe you," She couldn't even learn how to turn on the gas stove by herself.
"My parents separated when I was young and after that, we started living with my grandparents. But soon after, they passed away in a traffic accident. Mom was very listless after all those things. So, I had to look after them," He nonchalantly said, taking a sip of the juice from his glass.
Did it really not matter to him or he was just pretending? "Them?" She asked softly.
"I have a younger brother too.''
"Oh…" Just like she initially thought, there is no father figure in his life. But…"I thought…" She paused, hesitating to talk discuss this further. Although he was looking like he was not bothered by all this, but everyone who smiles isn't necessarily happy. What if deep down, he is hurting too?
"You can ask," He asked noticing her hesitation. He was inwardly amused by how careful she was so that she would not end up hurting him.
