Married to his secret crush

Chapter 54 - Stop Clinging To Me



"She would always say that you both are just friends but I never believed it. Now that I think about it, she was not lying," Shi Luo stood up from the chair before adjusting a black backless gown.

He glanced at her doubtfully, "Why should I believe you?"

Yes, why? She herself did not believe the nonsense she was spouting but things could be manipulated in her favor. A strong man has his weak spots too.

She glanced at him indifferently, "Because I have no reasons to lie to you. She has no parents, you know that too," She just has a brother who is ready to bring the world to her feet.

The man did not say anything. He knew that she didn't have parents but… he never thought she was an orphan.

Given her lifestyle and preferences, he assumed she had a family even though she never mentioned them.

"Anyways, don't try to contact her or anything like that. It might traumatize her. As you see, she is no longer the campus belle nor the beautiful goddess of Crystal university. Her current status is way below ours. She even refuses to meet me. So, don't embarrass her by trying to meet her. She is currently very happy with her life," Shi Luo grabbed her clutch from the coffee table before looking at the man who had yet to speak a single word, "I've to go to the washroom first. See you later."

If she had known he would ask all this, she would have asked the detailed story between Mei and him and prepared herself mentally first.

It was better to leave this place before he could interrogate her further. One more lie and her web of lies would be busted for sure.

After she left the place, Jun Zixuan stood up from the throne chair and he looked at the dark sky.

'What do you want to do in the future?' He had once asked her.

'I am interested in designing. I've already started doing some preparations from now on. I want to have my brand, a luxury jewelry brand whose name will spread all over the world. When people talk about jewelry, the name of my brand would come to their mind.'

'So, shall I start calling you Miss CEO from now on?'

'Why not?!' Came her confident reply.

Shi Luo is her best friend and she had no reason to lie to him. Then…

'She was working as a waitress.'

'She is happily married to a waiter. They are preparing for their second child.'

Shi Luo's words continued ringing in his mind again and again.

'She tried to contact you for help but you were never there for her.'

His grip on the glass tightened.

'Crack' The wine glass that he was holding broke into pieces.

One could not say whether the red liquid dripping down his palm was the wine or his blood.

Unaffected by it, he curled his fingers into a fist before raising it towards the floor-to-ceiling glass.

"Ahh…" She winced as the glass behind her hand cracked, piercing through her skin in the process.

She was holding Jun Zixuan's fist tightly with both hands yet the pressure on her palm made her clench her teeth.

The man froze for a split second, "What are you doing here?" His voice didn't have a hint of its usual playfulness.

His tone reminded her of the time when he hated the sight of her.

What was she doing here?

When she came here, Shi Luo was not there. And he was standing there looking at the distance blankly. Only his back was visible to her and somehow he appeared very lonely.

Initially, she wanted to approach him and talk about what was bothering him.

But he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even realize that she was standing behind him.

So, she decided to give him some space and leave the place.

But just as she turned around, her gaze landed on the floor.

There broken glass shards and red liquid around them.

When she raised her gaze towards his hand, she could see blood dripping down from the gap between his fingers.

Unable to react for a second, she stood there rooted to her spot.

He raised his hand to punch the thick glass wall, her legs moved on their own and before she knew it, she was shielding his hand out of instinct.

But even when she grabbed his fist with both her hands, her strength was not comparable to him which caused the back of her palm to smash on the glass.

Coming back to the present, Yu Mei didn't respond to his question and grabbed his hand.

She could see some broken glass shards pierced inside his palm. Blood gushed out from his wounds.

"Get lost. I don't want to see you," He pushed her away from himself before taking a few steps back. The piece of glass turned into powder under his shoes as he distanced himself from her.

"But you…"

"Enough. Stop clinging to me!''

Her brows bumped together as she looked at the cold expression on his face.
