Chapter 320 – Dinner Date
"That's naturally because Jun Zixuan is a devil,'' Duh. He might be sweet to you but the rest of the world feel like they are sitting on thorns in his presence. Shi Luo felt goosebumps just at the thought of it. What love? Even being friends with Jun Zixuan was like stepping on fire.
''I won't say you don't have a good taste since you like the Younger Jun but don't call my man devil, alright?" Yu Mei was of course protective about her man's precious reputation.
''Tch. Just look at you~'' Shi Luo shook her head as she sat up, ''As for Mu Shen, we are more like siblings…You know that.''
''That's my point. You barely had a crush when we were in high school and you never confessed to him…''
''I did, actually,'' Shi Luo mumbled guiltily, ''I wrote a letter to him in your name after which he pestered you. A few days ago, Danny threatened me with that to extract some information about Jun Zihao's and your relationship," She confessed in one breath.
Yu Mei's face was filled with black lines. No wonder her brother was extra harsh towards Jun Zixuan and he even drew up a contract that was domineering yet silly.
Don't cook? Don't cry?
Hadn't she gone through certain troubles during her relationship with Jun Zihao?
Like a foolish teenager, she tried things to make him happy.
And her brother seemed to be playing it safe by making Jun Zixuan sign those papers.
If Jun Family was not suffering already, her brother might have gone for their heads by this time.
''Uhh…'' Shi Luo awkwardly cleared her throat when she saw Yu Mei lost in her thoughts.
''No wonder. You sold me out. Luoluo, you are really something.''
Shi Luo sighed, ''Did it cause trouble?"
''It didn't,'' Yu Mei poked her cheek, looking at her guilty face, ''By the way, how is Aunt taking your relationship now?" She switched the topic to Shi Luo's mother swiftly so that she won't keep feeling guilty.
''She is very happy. She also wants to meet your mother-in-law…'' Shi Luo was very nervous about lying to her mother but they could only sort it out slowly. She decided to find a proper opportunity to let her mother know that Jun Boyan and her broke up and moved out.
''Not possible for now,'' Yu Mei shook her head, realizing that she did not have any idea how things were going on Jun Zishen's side. She made a mental note to call him later.
Shi Luo nodded as she knew that it had something to do between Shen Lihua and her husband as per what Yu Mei had told her.
Her brows tugged together slightly as she thought about something, ''Mother wants to meet you, who she thinks is my new friend and she also wants to see Han Mei who she has not seen for a long time..''
A conflicted expression appeared on Yu Mei's face, ''It has been a long time since I last saw her but how am I supposed to let her know that both the person are me…'' She decided to place that conflict aside for the moment.
Yu Mei was planning to meet Jun Boyan before but since he was not back yet, she decided to go back to Ren Mansion first.
But Jun Zixuan was nowhere to be seen by the time she reached the mansion.
Her brows tugged together in confusion.
But just as she was about to call him, her phone buzzed. She glanced at the text-
Zixuan: Since our date was interrupted, let's have another one. I will be waiting for you.
Following it was the address of a famous five-star restaurant.
Yu Mei glanced at the text for a few seconds before her lips curved up. A dinner date?
…
Dressed in a knee-length bodycon white dress, Yu Mei stepped inside the Grand French restaurant. The manager personally came to pick her up and she was rather surprised, not expecting Jun Zixuan to be so high profile.
She looked around and noticed that even though people had their gaze on her, it only lingered for a while before they diverted their attention quickly.
It seems like more than just a dinner date. As Yu Mei was led to the innermost table Jun Zixuan was sitting at, her initial suspicions grew even further. He could have booked a room but what is his motive behind sitting here?
Although countless gazes were fixated on the man, he sat there with an aloof expression on his face and a distinguishable aura. As soon as he spotted her making her way towards him, Jun Zixuan pushed himself to his feet as he walked towards the other side before pulling the chair for her.
She smiled at him before taking a seat.
The manager secretly wiped his sweat, ''Mr. Jun, Mrs. Jun, kindly let me know if there is something you need,'' Noticing the flowers blooming above the big shot's head, the manager praised himself inwardly for being witty.
As Jun Zixuan nodded slightly, the manager bowed and left.
''You look quite happy,'' Yu Mei said as soon as both of them were alone.
''Do I?" Jun Zixuan smiled mysteriously.
She nodded, ''So? Do you have some other plans?"
''It's just a dinner date. Why do you think so much?" He asked rather innocently.
''That's because… you rather prefer our dates on the bed,'' She whispered as her face reddened slightly. Embarrassed as she was, this was an undeniable fact.
The corner of his lips tugged. As expected, only she knew him the best.
Before she could question him further, the dinner was served.
As they started eating, she could not help sneaking some glances in his direction.
''Something on your mind?" Jun Zixuan propped the side of his face on his fist as glanced at her.
''I just realized that it has been quite some time since we had some peaceful time outside,'' What was more was that they were able to come here without any reporter's presence as this place was highly restricted.
But certain questions kept weaving inside her mouth.
