Chapter 321 - Aunt
Chapter 321 – Aunt
Instead of thinking about stressful things, she instead brought up an old topic.
''You have never told me when you fell in love with me?" She asked him teasingly but she was indeed very curious about it.
Jun Zixuan cleared his throat before taking a sip of his coffee.
''What? Are you shy now?" The first time they met was when she was sitting on a tree and bunking the class. ''Was it love at first sight on the tree?" She whispered.
He shook his head.
Her lips twitched, ''Then when?" Looking at his face, he seemed to have no intention of mentioning it. ''Don't tell me then,'' She grumbled before standing up, ''I'll go to washroom.''
He could obviously tell that she was curious about it but it would only end up embarrassing her if he told her when he really fell in love with her. So, he held it in and tried not to laugh at her pouting face.
Yu Mei picked up her bag and followed the directions mentioned by the waiter that led to the washroom.
She placed her bag aside and turned the faucet on before washing her hands.
''President Leanne?"
Yu Mei frowned when she heard a voice behind her. Although their dinner was arranged in a rather high-profile way but she did not expect someone to follow her over.
She tilted her head upwards to glance at the mirror, ''Who-'' The rest of her words were stuck in her throat when she glanced at the reflection of the elegant woman standing behind her, ''Mrs. Suyin?" She turned around.
The middle aged lady smiled slightly, ''I was rather surprised to see you here. You have changed quiet a bit.''
Yu Mei stiffened. Of course she has changed. She was glad that her current looks have merged with her previous looks otherwise, it would have been very troublesome to keep up her identity outside. ''Same here…'' The woman standing infront of her was her client in her previous life.
The first time they met was when the woman wanted a watch that she could gift her husband on their anniversary. And she had requested her to be the one in charge of design.
But since she never took clients like that, she had initially rejected it.
However, the woman kept waiting for 4 hours and in the end, she could only give in to her harmless request.
Later, there were a few encounters between them and she found this woman quite likeable.
She did not expect to bump into her here in Beijing.
But currently the woman was looking at her quiet differently. Yu Mei could not point a finger on what it was but there was something amiss.
As if noticing it, Han Suyin schooled her expressions, ''How about joining us for dinner?"
Yu Mei frowned. They barely knew each other for her to join her for dinner… ''My husband is waiting for me. Probably next time..'' She replied.
The woman did not look discouraged by her reply as she glanced around the washroom, ''This probably is not the appropriate place to say this…'' She paused for a bit before looking at Yu Mei, ''I hope you can join your Aunt for dinner,'' She changed her phrasing this time.
Yu Mei narrowed her eyes.
On the other side.
Jun Zixuan sipped the coffee as he leaned back on the chair. Unlike Yu Mei, he was not that affected by the gazes on him.
To him, it was rather good to have dinner with her in public.
People who don't watch television and those who are not fond of newspapers and tabloids also deserve to know that she is his.
Contrary to his thoughts, the guards who were sitting on a distant table had different thoughts, ''Do you think Chief is showing off?" One of the four men spoke up.
''But he is not that kind of person.''
The rest agreed. Their Chief always cherished his privacy but after his wife came in the picture, his privacy has gone down in an instant as every morning, they will go trending on tabloids.
''What 'not that kind of person'? He just needed a catalyst like Young Mistress to provoke this side of his. Now, look how he is going around showing her off…'' If they had not known the kind of man their Chief was, they might have called him endearing and cute for his current actions.
''Hey, what is this woman doing here?" One of the guards said and the rest followed his gaze.
''Shall we do something?'' They glanced at the woman who was walking towards Jun Zixuan.
''Xuan…'' Han Jingyi called out as soon as she spotted Jun Zixuan. Her voice caught everyone's attention as they glanced at them in doubt.
Is it a love triangle? Or a wife and a mistress? They thought.
Jun Zixuan's lips thinned.
''Must you ignore me like this?" Han Jingyi frowned when the man did not even spare a glance at her.
There was no response at all.
Only she knew how many efforts she had made in order to get a glimpse of him but all of it was to no avail.
Little did she expect that she will bump into him here today.
The world was really small.
Just as she was about to say something else, she noticed something from the corner of her eyes.
Her pupils shrank as she tilted her head to the side only to find her Mother walking towards her with that… bitch.
Yu Mei ignored the woman as she walked towards Jun Zixuan followed by Han Suiyin.
Han Suiyin glanced at her daughter who was standing beside Jun Zixuan with a weird expression on her face, "Is everything alright?"
Han Jingyi schooled her expressions as she smiled and nodded, but her fingers curled into fists.
"Zixuan, she is my Aunt…" Yu Mei glanced at Han Suyin, "He is my husband, Jun Zixuan."
Han Suiyin measured the man with her gaze.
Jun Zixuan's lips slightly tilted up as he pushed himself to his feet, "It's an honor to meet Mrs. Han."
Yu Mei raised an eyebrow. He seems to have already predicted it. Did he already expect this?
"Or you can call me Aunt," Han Suyin nodded at the man who was supposedly her daughter's fiance but is now married to her late sister's daughter.
Jun Zixuan nodded.
"Do you mind joining us for dinner?" Han Suyin asked as she smiled elegantly.
"Of course not," Jun Zixuan's eyes flashed.
Since Han Jingyi had her head lowered, nobody saw her expressions.
As they followed the mother and daughter duo, Yu Mei pulled Jun Zixuan's hand….
