Married to his secret crush

Chapter 99 - Living In The Dorms? Impossible!



"What is it?" He asked noticing her weird expressions.

"Nothing, there are many errors in this," She pointed to the papers in her hand.

He was surprised, "You know French?" he asked.

She paused for a bit before nodding. If it was before, she would have been afraid of exposing herself but now that she has given him the proper excuse that she was hiding her real capabilities to protect herself from her stepmother, she did not mind letting him know more about the real her.

She did not like pretending to be someone else anyway.

''I can speak it well too," She smiled folding her legs on the single couch, "Why are there so many errors in it?" She has only read around one paragraph and nearly every sentence had something wrong in it.

"This is the part of the draft. These will be finalized soon," answered Jun Zixuan.

''Oh," She put down the papers back on the coffee table without reading it any further.

Little did she know that if she had continued reading it and turned the page, she would have known the man's identity.

"Oh no!" She stood up from the couch, suddenly reminded about something, "I'll go back to my room. I forgot something."

"What now?" His brows tugged up looking at the urgency on her face.

She glanced at him, "I need to pay for the dorm this semester before midnight. The Professor had told us about it but it almost slipped off my mind…"

Just as she took a step, he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. "Sit there," He pointed at the single couch she was earlier sitting on.

"But, I'll forget it again…" She wanted to argue but looking at his face, it did not seem like he will listen to her. Sighing to herself, she sat back there and removed her hand from his grip, "What is it?" She asked.

''You're not staying in the dorm."

"And who the heck are you to decide that for me? You crazy possessive freak!! Humph!"

"Hey, Zixuan…" Yu Mei snapped her fingers in front of the man who was glancing at her in a daze.

The man broke out of his trance as he cleared his throat.

"You wanted to say something?" She asked again noticing that this man wasn't acting like himself lately.

Jun Zixuan nodded, "You're not…." He paused for a moment before speaking, "Mei, can you stay in the dorms?" He asked in a solemn tone.

She was taken aback by the look of pity in his eyes, "Why can't I?'' She asked, her brows slightly tugged together in confusion.

"First, imagine sharing a room with others. You are way too pampered to do that, aren't you?" She looked at him seriously considering his words.

The corner of her lips twitched slightly but she couldn't refute his words, "As true as it, but you have to lose something if you want to gain something. It's more convenient for me to attend classes on time if I live in there.''

The man's expectant expression fell slightly but a light flitted across his eyes, "Imagine if your roommate wants to be a DJ in the future or is interested in the music industry then you can't even sleep properly because of the noise."

She hesitated, "I'll just sacrifice my sleep for a few months." No matter what, staying in a dormitory will be much better for her. She won't have to drive to the university every morning.

"You don't like the food in the cafeteria, how will you eat there?" asked Jun Zixuan with a nonchalant expression on his face as if he did not care where she lived and he was just asking out of curiosity.

Her expression changed. She was reminded of the sandwich she had in the morning.

Yu Mei, who was very sure about living in the dormitory, changed her statement instantly, ''I think living in Ren Mansion is still the best for me.''

"I told you so," Jun Zixuan nodded his head in satisfaction.

"When?"

"When you were thinking about something."

She sighed, "I'll go get something for myself to eat," She paused near the door and turned around to look at him, "You want something?" She asked.

"Coffee will do.''

She nodded and walked out closing the door behind her.

He leaned back on the couch thinking back to how she immediately changed her mind at the mention of food. His lips slightly curved up.

As Yu Mei walked out of the Master Bedroom, her gaze landed on the person loitering outside her room,

She walked towards her, "You're called Lisa, right?''

The maid named Lisa immediately straightened up, ''Yes, Miss Yu.''

Yu Mei had some impressions of this maid who had addressed her as 'Madam' on purpose to start a fight between Jun Zixuan and her. "What are you doing here in front of my room?" She asked, slightly narrowing her eyes when the maid turned nervous at her question.

"T-That…Your room is not cleaned since days and you have not given us the clothes that are to be washed today.''

"I have cleaned it. As for the clothes…I'll get them. Wait here," As she entered the pin to her room, she stood at an angle so that the woman would not be able to peep on the code.

She opened the door just enough to get inside and came back with a laundry basket in her hand. She locked the door behind her and passed the basket to the maid.

Lisa held the basket and walked away without looking back.

Yu Mei glanced at her retreating back and her gaze darkened. It seems like this woman is up to no good.

This was one of the reasons she did not like living in this mansion. These servants are so nosy.

Sighing to herself, she walked downstairs and asked someone to make coffee before grabbing an apple from the dining table and munching on it while waiting for the coffee to be prepared.
