Chapter 49 - Because I Can’t Drink
"I want to enjoy the nightlife in Shanghai," Yu Mei spoke up. I am going to drink out my sorrows tonight. With that thought, she added, "Yes, you can arrange a few things first. A private room, vodka, and Shanghainese cuisine. As for the men or male strippers…." Just keep them away from me. I need privacy.
Lost were the rest of her words as he coldly interrupted her, "Enough," Give her an inch and she will take a mile, ''We are not going anywhere," With that said, he walked towards the entrance of the resort they were currently residing in.
Asking for male strippers… did she forget that she was still his legally married wife? Tsk.
She was speechless. He was fine a moment ago. What went wrong. Split personality?
"Don't go if you don't want to. I can go alone," She was sure that once she returned to Beijing, she will get busier every day. Not to mention that she was currently stuck with the final year of university.
To be a graduate, she will have to lick all those language subjects all over again. Amidst all this, when will she have the chance to go clubbing and chill by herself?
"You are not going anywhere."
She paused before turning around to look at him, "Why?" She narrowed her eyes.
Yes… Why? He asked himself as he walked towards her. "Because I can't drink? I..have low alcohol tolerance," Yes, that sounded fine, he thought to himself.
She frowned. It was true. She has witnessed it before. The drunk Jun Zixuan is nowhere as prim and proper and elegant as this one standing in front of her.
But what has it got to with her?
"You can just drink lemon juice and watch me getting drunk. How about that?" She suggested after some thought.
His lips twitched, "It will be embarrassing for me."
Men and their 10 feet long ego. How troublesome!
But looking at his pitiful face, she could not bring herself to reject him, "Fine, fine, we are not going."
The corner of his lips curved up ever so slightly but the smile disappeared before she could notice it.
As they walked towards the entrance together, a black Audi stopped in front of them and a man in his 20s stepped out of the car before walking towards Jun Zixuan.
The man's get-up was pretty casual but his looks and facial features made him look like a member of the boy band group. He wore square glasses and with his properly combed hair, he gave off professional vibes.
Yu Mei narrowed her eyes the moment she recognized him.
She was reminded of the nerdy boy from her university days. It was her final year at Crystal university when two transfer students became the hot headlines because of their gorgeous looks.
By their behavior and attitude, one could say that they preferred to stay low-key but given Jun Zixuan's divine appearance and aura, he was bound to be in the spotlight along with the 'cute boy-next door' type guy, Minmin.
Yes, the nerdy guy from back then is the same man standing in front of her right now.
She didn't know his full name but everyone called him 'Xiao Min' or 'Minmin'.
Although they were in the same class, their sections were different because of the majors. But she was a bit curious about Jun Zixuan when he got crowned as the Prince Charming after two days.
Girls would queue up in the halls and corridors to catch a glimpse of him.
A guy who could stir up the Crystal University within two days of his joining piqued her interest.
And the first time she saw him was when….
"What are you thinking about?" Jun Zixuan poked her cheeks twice and she snapped out of her thoughts.
Before he could poke it for the third time, she swatted away his indecent finger.
He chuckled.
"This is…" The other man adjusted his glasses as he looked at Yu Mei. Although he could guess who she was, he still asked to make sure.
According to what his brother said and gathering what he knew, the interaction between Jun Zixuan and his wife was never harmonious. So, is it still his wife?
Given her figure, she should be. He squinted.
"This is Yu Mei Zhen, my wife," Jun Zixuan introduced her to him before looking at Yu Mei, "He is Gu Min, my friend."
Gu Min blinked twice before nodding politely at her, "And I'm his secretary too. Miss Yu, nice to meet you."
Secretary? Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, "Nice to meet you too,''?She nodded at him expressionlessly, "Are you related to Steward Gu?" Noticing his familiar features and surname, she asked.
Gu Min replied, "He is my elder brother."
She nodded at him before looking at Jun Zixuan, "You guys can talk, I'll go back to the suite."
"Alright."
As soon as he replied, she left the place giving both the men some space.
