Chapter 329 - Some Shameless Progress
Chapter 329 – Some Shameless Progress
After freshening up, Yu Mei walked downstairs and her ears picked up some sounds from the kitchen.
She walked towards the kitchen before leaning against the wall, ''What are you doing?''
Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at the woman standing there dressed in a black satin night suit, ''How do you feel now?"
''Much better,'' She glanced at the small chocolate cake on the kitchen counter, ''Is it for me?"
''No, for our neighbor,'' Jun Zixuan replied.
The corner of her lips twitched and she straightened up before walking towards him. She wrapped her arms around his lean yet muscular waist and placed the side of her face on his back, ''I am sorry for being rude,'' Because of her period and sleep-deprived state, her emotional side was on the full rise.
Jun Zixuan turned around and leaned back on the kitchen counter as he held her hands. His finger stroked her palm and he pulled her closer to himself.
Her hands encircled around his neck and her body leaned against his.
''I like your mood swings.''
"_"
''…More than your beauty.''
''_"
''You are a masochist,'' She clicked her tongue.
He laughed. ''Of course not,'' He glanced at her with a deep gaze.
To the world, she was cold and unapproachable despite wearing a smile most of the time. Only in front of him was she childish, moody, cranky, silly, and even dumb. Her IQ and EQ take a U-turn around him. How could he not like that side of her which was exclusively his?
''I still hate you though,'' He said.
She nodded, ''I hate you more. You are a sly old man, conning me in name of friendship for a long time.''
''Then you should be the old woman having wrong thoughts about her friend.''
Both of them ended up laughing.
''Master…'' The Chef paused, realizing that he came at the wrong time.
Yu Mei tilted her face to the side as she stepped back from him to look at the person standing at a distance.
''You can get to work,'' Jun Zixuan nodded at him. ''Let's go,'' He held Yu Mei's hand as they both walked out of the kitchen.
As she glanced at him curiously, he said, ''Since we got officially married today, I invited everyone over for dinner.''
''By everyone you mean?''
''Just our friends,'' Jun Zixuan pulled her into his arms, his mood was undeniably pleasant as one could sense the flowers of spring around him.
''Well done. Have you invited brother?"
''Yes.''
''Okay,'' She nodded, ''Is he shocked?"
''He cursed me for 15 minutes straight,'' Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, ''Don't know if that counts as a shock.''
''Cough…'' Yu Mei laughed dryly, ''My brother just has a little bad temper at times but otherwise, he is really cute.''
''Yeah, a little temper. Just like you. Only a little,'' He nodded.
Despite having thick skin, she was a bit embarrassed.
While he went to the study to finish his work, Yu Mei checked the reports she received from the employee in the finance department. She double-checked it but found nothing wrong.
Was I overthinking and there is nothing wrong with the company?
Letting out a soft sigh, she grabbed her phone and dialed a number.
''Who is this?" A cool voice sounded from the other side.
''Your gorgeous, multi-talented, super-awesome, and perfect daughter-in-law here.''
Jun Zishen was caught between laughter and tears when he heard that familiar voice. This level of narcissism! He hoped that his grandkids would inherit it and would be as adorable as his daughter rather than becoming an ice cube like his son.
''Where did you get my number from?" He asked.
''I have my ways,'' Yu Mei sat up on the bed with burning curiosity in her eyes, ''Has mother-in-law accepted you yet? Is there any progress?"
There seemed to be a pause on the other side before the man said, ''She did not let me inside her house for one day and one night but now, I have managed to get a spot in her guest room. Does that counts as progress?'' The usually aloof and mighty Master Jun was at his wits' end facing the upgraded version of his once gentle and sweet wife.
''Of course, that counts. The guest room is the narrow path leading to the bedroom. What are you worried about? How could she not fall for your charms?" Yu Mei motivated the man.
And he seemed to be injected with a bottle of chicken blood as he immediately replied, ''Of course, I will do my best.''
''That's the spirit. But Father, how did she let you inside the guest room in one day and one night?" The she-devil was not that easy to deal with it. She expected at least 2 weeks from her.
''I bribed her chef, the gardener, and the rest of the servants and proposed to her that I will do all the household works. Didn't you tell me to be shameless and cling to her in every possible way?''
''Uhh… Well done,'' Yu Mei was a little speechless.
''She is coming here. I will call you later…'' He quickly hung up.
Yu Mei laughed. How cute!
Jun Zishen might not have realized this but Shen Lihua still had a soft corner for him.
Knowing her she-devil of a mother-in-law, she would not have let him in the house just because she lacked servants. It was pretty much obvious that heart might have softened at the sight of him waiting in front of her house for one day and one night straight.
Yu Mei sighed in relief.
She never thought that what Jun Zishen did was a crime or a sin. Yes, it was unforgivable but everyone deserves a second chance as long as their heart is pure and they really want to make up for it.
Shen Lihua and the Jun brothers did not deserve that kind of past but Jun Zishen also has faced torment over the years.
If he had gone against his parents at that time, then considering how ruthless the Jun Family is, they might have destroyed the whole family of four without a second thought.
