Married to his secret crush

In the Master's bedroom.

Jun Zixuan looked at the purple rose that he was holding in his hand as if he was looking at someone through it.

Letting out a soft sigh, he stood up from the king-sized bed and brought over a few tissue papers. Dipping it in the glass of water, he cleaned the dried blood stains from the stem of the rose before looking at it.

But something strange caught his eyes. Earlier the purple rose had a few white web-like patterns on it. But right now, on the white pattern, there were some red strokes.

They were beautiful but strange.

'Knock knock.'

''Enter."

Steward Gu stepped inside before bowing in front of him, "Master, it's time for dinner," he said.

Jun Zixuan looked at him, "Have you checked it?"

Steward Gu looked at him for a few minutes before nodding, "I have checked it up. Miss Yu met Dr. Shi today, a world-famous dermatologist. I thought she knew Dr. Shi before which is why her face is cured but this was the first time they met. And…."

"And?"

"Dr. Shi canceled all her work for the day and Miss Yu was allowed inside her office without an appointment. They spent more than seven hours inside the office room…And Dr. Shi even walked her out of the hospital…"

"Dr. Shi? Is it Shi Luo you are talking about…?" Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at Steward Gu.

Steward Gu nodded, "Your friend from Crystal University."

"Is….Is she here too…?" His long eyelashes cast a shadow over his chestnut eyes as he softly whispered.

"I..can investigate about her if you want to," Steward Gu spoke up after hesitating for a few seconds.

"No need, you can leave. Close the door."

"But, Master, you should have your dinner. You have not eaten anything after the breakfast," Steward Gu looked at the man worriedly.

"Just leave," Jun Zixuan murmured. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Steward Gu bowed before leaving the room.

As he closed the door, a soft sigh escaped his lips. Maybe things would have been different if Madam had not been so stubborn for this marriage, he thought to himself before walking downstairs.

As Steward Gu left the room, Jun Zixuan stared at nothing in particular. Putting the rose in the flower vase, he leaned back on the bed thinking back to that fateful day 2 years ago.

*Flashback*

Crystal University.

"What do they mean by they will send a complaint letter to my family? Is it even legit? I'm already weak in Chinese subjects and their teaching appears like a big egg to me. Is it my fault that I dozed off in the class…?" The 21-year-old girl grumbled to herself while sitting on the branch of the lone tree on the campus.

Her legs dangling off the tree as she licked a lollipop, watching the basketball match going on the huge field in front of her. The team she was rooting for lost while the winning team's captain immediately ran towards a girl sitting in the audience.

A pink bubble formed around them as they shared a French kiss.

"They seem to be another happily ever after story," She clicked her tongue.

"You sound jealous," A deep magnetic voice spoke up.

"Who is jealous? I was just…" Realization dawned on her as she looked around. Was there someone else on the tree? As she looked towards the left branch, a black shadow came to her view, "Ahh…." The lollipop fell from her mouth. She lost her balance, directly slipping off the branch.

As she started falling down the tree, a hand gripped her wrist tightly before pulling her up. In the next moment, she was sitting atop the man's lap whose half face was hidden behind the black hoodie that he was wearing above his white shirt.

"That was scary…" She patted her chest, "Are you that ugly?" She was scared to death because of his getup.

A few broken bones were a must if she had landed on the concrete ground.

Jun Zixuan loosened his hoodie with one hand and it fell back revealing golden ash-blond hair. The bangs had covered his eyes.

"Am I?" His thin lips parted slightly as he asked as he tilted his head upwards, revealing his chestnut shaded eyes which had gold flecks in them.

"Ah?" Her starry eyes widened as she looked at him in a daze.

"Am I ugly?" His lips curved up at a beautiful angle. This was the third time he saw her and this time, she was within his reach, sitting on his lap.

"You are not," Looking at a handsome face as such, she did not regret eating her own words, "I recognize you. You….Aren't you the transfer student those girls were chasing after? Ahh…The prince charming of Crystal University…you are Jun Zixuan right?"

"You know me?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

"You are a hot topic in the university. Handsome looks, top student, Prince charming and what not…" She paused before looking at the arm wrapped around her waist, "Put me down first…" The position was rather intimate.

"I want to put you down but I am afraid you would fall…" He blinked innocently.

Taken in by his innocent look, she nodded her head gratefully, "You are too considerate. Thanks."

"My friend was about to come here in a few minutes. We'll get down by then."

As she looked around, the branch they were sitting on was very thick but small. Two people wouldn't fit on it. Feeling touched, she nodded again.

Jun Zixuan smiled. Initially, he just wanted some privacy which is why he climbed the tree but just when he closed his eyes, her voice woke him up.

He was annoyed with her thinking that she was one of those who stalked after him. But the least he expected was that it was her.

"Since you know me already, shouldn't you introduce yourself?" He asked.

She looked at the man with her unblinking starry eyes, "Han Mei. I am Han Mei."
