Married to his secret crush

Chapter 41 - You Don't Talk To Me Like Before



Chapter 41 – You Don’t Talk To Me Like Before

As she twisted the doorknob to lock the door, it was pulled from the other side and she lost her footing with it.

"Ah.." Her nose bumped into a rigid surface as she felt an arm wrapping around her waist.

"Are you alright?" A cool tone resounded from above her head.

She took a few steps back keeping a proper distance between them before rubbing her nose gently.

Jun Zixuan stared at the woman who was treating him like some contagious disease. Her attitude towards him didn't change over the past two days.

If he joined her at the breakfast table, she would leave without eating anything. If he stood in front of her, she would change her path. They came to Shanghai on his private jet but throughout the whole journey, she kept herself at a distance and didn't even look at him in the eye.

When they checked-in in the resorts and were informed about their stay in one suite, the look of horror on her face was genuine.

He tried to talk to her a few times on the first day but she slipped away every time.

So, in the end, he avoided coming to the room to not make her uncomfortable. He only came back after she was asleep and left before she woke up.

And she seemed to be very comfortable with this kind of arrangement. She treated him like air. And that irked him. Was he that hateful?

It has been only recently that they started living together but he was used to her fighting with him over small things. He didn't even realize when he started bickering with her. It was so unlike of him to be so petty towards someone or to spare his words on people who don't matter to him.

But now that she was not talking, something felt empty inside. Maybe, he was just not used to it, or maybe he was not used to a silent, prim, and proper Yu Mei.

He looked at the woman who was rubbing her nose until it turned red. Her dark eyes glared at him but she didn't speak a single word and turned around to walk away.

Without thinking about anything, he grabbed her hand.

She paused for a moment before struggling; she twisted her wrist trying to escape from his grip but he didn't let go.

She turned around to look at him but didn't speak a single word.

He also looked at her without saying anything.

As the stifling silence in the air became unbearable, she opened her mouth to speak, "Is there anything you want from me?" She coldly asked, not trying to struggle anymore. The man was much more powerful than her.

"You are ignoring me.." He took a step towards her and she retreated a step back.

The door behind them was locked with a small 'click'.

He walked towards her and she kept backing away. It went on until her back collided against the wall.

She blinked.

What was he trying to do?

As his face approached closer, she gulped, "Stay away from me," She softly said, reminding him to keep a proper distance between them before they talk.

Who knew if he was provoked somehow and ended up pinching her cheeks again like that day?

But the man didn't pay attention to her words as he did not budge from his position neither did he loosened his grip on her wrist. He looked at her with a deep gaze.

His masculine smell drifted off to her nose.

She lowered her eyes a little, trying to avoid looking into his eyes.

The man was wearing a navy blue tuxedo with tie loosened around his neck, the sleeves of his suit jacket were folded giving her the view of the veins near his wrist and his gorgeous well-toned arm.

She looked back at his face only to be met with his chestnut eyes, she could make out the slight flecks of gold in them.

His usually combed hair was in a mess giving off an unruly vibe.

That handsome face, that jawline…no wonder, he was the Prince Charming of the Crystal university. The man was in another league if she compared him to all the men she has met in her life…

'Given that you are lusting over your husband, how did you have the audacity to complain about this life that day?' A childish voice rang out in her mind and her eyes widened slightly.

'Didn't you promise to not read my thoughts?' She thought.

'Oh…That…Your hormones were so strong that your thoughts were automatically unlocked,' Mia spoke up without an ounce of hesitation.

Yu Mei closed her eyes trying to soothe her anger. When did she ever lust over her husband? She was just appreciating the art that he was. That's it!

'Shut it out, Mia. Right, this instant. Or else, you know the consequence. I won't care about anything before ending my life. I don't think you will be happy with that.'

'Crazy maniac…bully,' The childish voice cursed her a little longer before falling silent and with that, she knew that Mia was gone.

She let out a sigh of relief inwardly. She has observed that the fox was pretty concerned about her life so right now, she could only threaten it with her life.

Or else it would have been pretty tough to control it.

The man looked at her face with interest. Her expression changed from a mild shock to anger and finally relief.

What was she thinking about?

"Or if you have nothing to say, then goodbye," She tried to walk away but the man pressed his hand on the wall next to her face while his grip on her other hand tightened slightly, but not enough to hurt her.

"You don't talk to me like before, you keep yourself at a distance…"

She interrupted him, "Isn't that what you have always wanted? Didn't you always detest me? Didn't you want me to stay away from you? Right now when I'm doing that, why are not satisfied with it? Moreover, what do you mean by I don't talk to you like before? When have we ever had a proper conversation between us?" Her confusion was genuine about these things.
