Married to his secret crush

Chapter 269 - Apologize



Chapter 269 – Apologize

"I don't remember giving you the permission to disrespect her,'' He said coldly. Wiping his knuckles with a handkerchief, Jun Zixuan turned around and left without looking back at the man.

Jun Zihao stood rooted to his spot with his palm pressed on his terribly aching jaw. He did not believe it. He would never believe neither accept that a man like Jun Zixuan, with such a high position and the title of one of the most desirable men, can't get over a single woman in his life. That he was so hooked with Yu Mei Zhen or Han Mei or whatever her real identity was. 

Not that she was not worthy enough to stand beside him, but men are never this loyal. Even his father had additional affairs before he married Shen Lihua. Then, how could Jun Zixuan not have women other than his girlfriend?

He walked upstairs, not noticing a shadow behind a nearby pillar. 

Han Jingyi frowned, ''A birthmark?" It reminded her of something. Or more specifically someone. 

In the evening.

''Zixuan, when will you come back?" Yu Mei asked the man over the phone as she checked her reflection in the mirror. The bodycon black dress surely looked impressive. Will he find her beautiful? She smiled at the thought. 

"Soon."

"What's with that mysterious tone?" She asked. 

"Why should I tell you?"

"Well. Don't tell me then," She shrugged despite knowing that he won't be able to see her. 

"Do you know Jun Zihao?"

''Huh?" Her eyes widened.

"On a personal level. Do you know him or did you used to know him?"

"No, I don't," The words escaped her mouth before she could contemplate over it, "Someone's calling me. See you on the date,'' She exhaled a deep breath as soon as she hung up the call. 

She paced in front of the mirror. Logically, she did not lie. Yu Mei Zhen has nothing to do with Jun Zihao and since she had not told Jun Zixuan about her real identity yet, she could not go on telling him that she used to date his brother because Yu Mei Zhen's life was limited to Beijing while Jun Zihao has stayed in Amaranthine during that time. 

All in all, it was complicated. 

"Or I can just clarify everything on our date,'' Since she had decided to come clean, then she will have to do this anyway. 

With that thought, she applied some light makeup on her face and walked out of the room only to hear some chaotic whispers around her. "What's going on?" She asked one of the servants. 

The man bowed, ''Sorry for gossiping, Third Young Mistress.''

"You can gossip as much as you want about this family. Just don't gossip about my baby," She walked towards the group of servants standing in a corner, "But I want to know…what were you gossiping about?" They were talking so passionately that it awakened her curiosity.

"Master has left the manor," One of the servants quickly answered her after checking the surroundings, ''Old Master and Old Madam argued with him and they threatened him to break off all their relations but he still left without hesitation.''

''Oh?" Father-in-law wrapped up his work in Amaranthine so fast? She was amused, "Thanks for letting me know,'' She nodded at them and walked back to her room. 

Maybe, he was so desperate to see his wife that he could not delay it any longer and he did not even bother to meet her or his son before he left. 

She sat on the bed, swinging her legs while waiting for Jun Zixuan to come back.

Shall I call him? She wondered as she picked up her phone from the bed. 

But something else caught her attention. There was a small printed note near the pillow, 'Come to the elevator. We have a lot to talk about.'

She was speechless.

He sure was eager to know about her. But she was not so eager to tell him about that. She wiped her sweaty palms on her bodycon dress as she walked towards the elevator while contemplating whether their date was planned in this mansion. 

Her footsteps came to a halt as she stood in front of the elevator. Taking a deep breath, just as she was about to step inside, she felt something covering her vision. 

"What surprise exactly are you planning?" She could not help but smile as she felt a grip around her wrist while she was helped inside the elevator. 

She was taken to who knows where while she felt the grip on her wrist loosening as her fingers came in contact with his rough fingers. He raised her hand and twirled her around. 

"I am dizzy, Zixuan," She leaned closer to him for support as she pressed her face on his chest. Her brows tugged together slightly when the scent of the unfamiliar cologne hit her nose. 

She quickly stepped back from the man and removed the blindfold from her eyes. Her jaws dropped, "You…!!?" She closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath, ''Why is it you?" 

"Were you expecting my brother?" Jun Zihao glanced at her questioningly as he ran his thumb across his jaws. 

She glanced at his half swollen face before looking around the beautifully decorated terrace. She walked past him without talking with him. 

He grabbed her hand and twirled her around. Her hair flipped with the sudden movement and she was caught off guard. 

But before she could do any damage to his wrist like last time, he let go of her hand and knelt in front of her. 

"What are you doing?" She glanced at him in confusion as she retreated a few steps. 

''I want to apologize.''

"For what?"

"For the way I treated you back then,'' He glanced at her with an earnest gaze. 

"It does not matter anymore and I don't hold any grudge against you," She shook her head, "If that is it, I am leaving." 

''Wait!!"

"What do you want now?" She was already nervous about her date with Jun Zixuan and now this man was wasting the energy that she had collected by meditating since morning.
