Li Shuang glanced at Jun Zixuan.

Yu Mei held his hand trying to remind him to keep his poisonous tongue in check. The poor woman just had a breakup in her years of relationship, she might have a breakdown if he kept poking her wound.

A cold expression settled on Jun Zixuan's face matching Li Shuang's, his aura overwhelmed the small space of the living room, "You should be glad you discovered him before it was late. Or you didn't want him to be discovered."

Li Shuang's expressions faltered, ''What?"

Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan before turning her head to look at Li Shuang's confused face, "Are you hiding something from me?" It did not take her long to figure out the cause behind his actions.

Usually, he was not a man who would talk to anyone about their personal lives or anything as such. Moreover, Li Shuang and him were not even that close. So, it looks like there is more to it.

Li Shuang paused, "Even if I am hiding something from you, it has nothing to do with Boqin and my relationship. I have lied to you about one thing. I-I am not an orphan."

Her brows tugged together. Was it really necessary to that?

"I-I…"

"Alright, Shuang. You can tell me when you want. There is no need to force yourself about it. I trust you."

Li Shuang glanced at Jun Zixuan who had this 'I don't trust you' written all over his face.

Yu Mei elbowed him.

"Still your friend?" Li Shuang glanced at her.

Yu Mei cleared her throat, "Husband."

"Wasn't it boyfriend?" Jun Zixuan muttered beside her ear.

"That's between us no?"

"You both are married?" Li Shuang glanced at them.

"Shuang, I could not find a proper chance to inform you about this. After my mother's death, I got married-"

"Your mother's death?" Li Shuang stood up from the couch in a flash. Her usually indifferent expressions morphed into horror.

Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, "Indeed. She passed away two years ago," Since they were not on talking terms, the previous owner did not find it necessary to share it with her.

As they walked towards the car, Yu Mei glanced back at the small apartment building, "She reacted weirdly."

"Her identity might not be that simple. That day in the hotel, she had guards to protect her," Jun Zixuan opened the door for her.

She stepped inside as he walked around before settling on the driver's seat, "I couldn't guess." She sighed and leaned back on her seat.

"Do you want me to investigate her?"

Yu Mei shook her head as she closed her eyes, "There is no need to. Whoever she is, she is not an enemy. Let her get over the breakup first. When the time comes, she will speak about it. If possible, you can investigate Li Na instead," She could have done that as well but it was all too troublesome and she would rather sleep more than wasting her brain cells on this.

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow.

"Cough...I mean…Investigate my mother," She was still not used to having a mother all of a sudden.

Later that night.

"Young Mistress, do you need something?"

Yu Mei glanced at the man before shaking her head, "It's past midnight already. You should take a rest."

The servant bowed and left.

She stood up from the couch before slumping on the bed. Jun Zixuan had to go over for a business trip all of a sudden and now that Yu Jinhai was also staying with Shi Luo, the mansion felt so empty.

She missed Mia too.

'Ring Ring Ring'

She grabbed the phone from the bedside table before looking at the caller ID. Mia was face-timing her?

She swiped the answer option and soon the woman came to her view, sitting on the couch while wearing nothing but her undergarments, peeling grapes, and putting it in her mouth.

Yu Mei nearly got a nosebleed.

"Don't look at me when you have the assets too," She muttered without looking at her.

"Alright, do you have any plans tonight?" Yu Mei could not help but ask, "Did you invite a man home?"

Mia glanced at her with begrudging expressions, "While I was shopping today, I was trying to look for a man but they did not suit my taste."

Yu Mei had an intuition about where this was going. The vixen might say that after laying her eyes on Han Jian Yu, no men were up to her standards. "Why are you dressed like this?" She quickly changed the topic.

"There is a power outage here. It's hot."

No wonder there were candles everywhere. Mia always found it difficult to adjust to warm climatic conditions, "Why don't you come over?"

Mia sat up immediately popping another grape in her mouth. Her long silver hair fell over her shoulder gliding down her deep cleavage and laying near her thighs, "I want to come over but I can't."

Yu Mei tried her best to not drop a comment on that body lest the vixen got provoked, "Why is that?" She asked, loosening the collar of her night robe and scratching her neck softly.

Mia's eyes narrowed at the sight of the hickeys planted on the woman's neck from top to bottom, "He will eat you up one day," She could not help but chuckle.

Yu Mei nodded, "I don't think it's bad to be eaten by him," She blinked. As good as it was, when all was over, she will find herself a suitable hole and bury herself there.

"Are you showing off that you have a man?" Mia squinted and eventually released a soft sigh, "Anyways, I can't go because I have to go to work tomorrow.

Yu Mei immediately sat up on the bed, "You have work?" She raised an eyebrow. This princess always considered it below her status to work for the peasant humans. Then, what work is she getting herself in?

"While I was shopping today, I got the offer for that work. They asked…."
