Chapter 302 - Sister-in-law Shi Luo
Chapter 302 – Sister-in-law Shi Luo
Yu Mei completed her work in the company within three hours before she checked the finance reports.
While she was contemplating whether she should go to visit Jun Zixuan in the company or go back to Ren Mansion, she received a call from Shi Luo who invited her out on coffee.
She remembered that the day before yesterday, Shi Luo had called her to ask about Jun Boyan's presence in her house. Then her battery died and they could not talk more after that.
Yu Mei drove over to the cafe that Shi Luo mentioned and went inside the private room before any reporter could hover around her.
After that celebration party, both Jun Zixuan and her were all over the tabloids and she already expected it but…
"I saw the news," Shi Luo had apparent dark circles under her eyes and she looked nothing less than a depressed little duck.
Yu Mei poked and pinched her cheeks a few times before taking a seat on the other side of the table. "You did…? It's a bother now…Reporters are clinging like a leech and we are all over the news."
"You didn't expect that when you were crushing on him standing on that stage?" Shi Luo lifelessly asked as her head nodded off to the side.
"You…Why do you look like that?" Yu Mei got chills just at the sight of her.
"You didn't answer me?"
Yu Mei picked the glass of water before gulping it down, "I always wanted to confess to him properly. And after Jun Zihao's accident, I don't want any other ex to pop up out of nowhere and create misunderstandings between us. You can say that I have developed severe ex-boyfriend/girlfriend trauma."
"You didn't have other exes."
Yu Mei rolled her eyes, "I had some pursuers here and there. Who knows if they will come in the picture someday? Moreover, Zixuan has crazy admirers everywhere so I had to stake my claim."
"Duh. You are possessive sick," Shi Luo rolled her eyes. Some pursuers? Yeah, like more than half of Crystal University.
"Uhh…Luoluo, are you on drugs?"
"I tell you, I am not talking to you," Yu Mei was alarmed as the woman snapped at her all of a sudden.
"What did I do?"
"You dropped that Junior Jun in my peaceful nest and now my life is in chaos."
"Boyan is so adorable. What can he possibly do to you?"
"Adorable my ass," Shi Luo shouted, "Mom saw both of us together and she was so shocked that I also got speechless about how I should respond to her."
"She saw you both together?" Yu Mei was speechless.
"Yes, I barely managed to say that he is her best friend's son and I also mentioned your mother-in-law too. Mom was so excited after hearing it but.."
"But?" Yu Mei raised an eyebrow.
"But she still wanted to know what kind of relationship we have…"
Yu Mei nodded, "Then?"
"Then… Then Jun Boyan told her that we are in a relationship and I could not sleep after that. Mom was more than happy and she said that we should marry soon."
Yu Mei nodded again, "I see…"
Shi Luo was speechless, "What 'I see'…?"
"Luoluo, I bet you have turned dumb after seeing a stunning Jun in your dull house."
"What do you mean?"
Yu Mei sighed, "Let me explain this. He obviously did that to not make things much awkward."
"He could have said we are like brother and sister."
"Well. Probably, he said what came to his mind," Yu Mei shrugged, "Why are you overreacting unless you have a thing for him?" She teased but unexpectedly, Shi Luo turned red at her words, "Luoluo, you…"
"You have gone crazy. I am going home. I want to sleep…''
''With Boyan?" Yu Mei's eyes widened.
''You..You…'' Shi Luo's face was one second away from blasting, ''What the hell are you talking about?''
''Uh…I mean you blushed and you said sleep so I…''
''I said sleep, not sex,'' As she watched her friend scratching her neck awkwardly, Shi Luo was speechless, ''Jun Zixuan has corrupted you,'' She said.
''Cough…''
''There is nothing between him and me. I will just take it as if I am taking a new tenant temporarily.''
"Whatever suits you. I think Boyan will move out soon then you can tell your mother that you both broke up," Yu Mei said after giving it some thought.
Shi Luo nodded, a soft blush still remained fixated on her cheeks.
…
"…So this is all that happened," Yu Mei recounted her conversation with Shi Luo, of course, skipping the 'sleeping' part.
Jun Zixuan placed his iPad on the coffee table as he raised his head to look at her, "I will arrange a place for Boyan."
Jun Boyan had an apartment in Amaranthine but he does not owns a house in Beijing as most of the time he was back, he lived in Shen Lihua's villa.
Yu Mei stroked her chin for a moment before shaking her head, "Let them stay together."
Jun Zixuan eyebrow, "What are you scheming?"
"I think Luoluo has a thing for Boyan. Let them stay together and see if sparks fly. What do you say?"
Jun Zixuan's lips twitched, "What a weird thing to have Shi Luo as sister-in-law."
Yu Mei inched closer to him, "Stop torturing her okay?"
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips, "What are you talking about?"
Her eyes narrowed, "Stop acting innocent. Luoluo told me about it."
Jun Zixuan pulled her onto his lap such that she was sitting on his thighs. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, "Back then, I was really disturbed by her lies…" He murmured as he hugged her.
She ruffled his hair, "That was our fault. I accept. But at that time, I was planning to divorce you that's why she lied though she exaggerated a bit."
He tilted his head to look at her, the tips of their noses touched, "You are not bringing up divorce ever again."
"U…I was just casually mentioning it.."
He took her bottom lips in his teeth, before sucking it, "No casual mention."
"Okay."
Jun Zixuan's phone buzzed.
Yu Mei grabbed his phone from the coffee table, "What's the password?"
"Your birthday."
She blinked at him, "Mine?"
He nodded and she quickly entered her birthdate and month and she speechlessly glanced at the phone which was unlocked.
He poked her cheeks, "You look dumb blinking like that."
She glared at him before checking the message, "It's from Steward Gu. He has sent you some pictures and a text…."
