Married to his secret crush-Chapter 311 - Cabbage And Dog

"It was snowing heavily when you were showering. So, I got this extra set of your clothes in the car just in case you need them," But later when they set out from Ren Mansion, the snowfall gradually diminished.

Yu Mei chuckled, feeling somewhat touched.

And while she got changed in the clean dress inside the car, he leaned back on the door until she told him that she was done. Only then did he left.

She was left smiling to herself, his small gestures have always made her feel special even at times when she did not realize it.

While she left, Jun Zixuan garnered attention ten folds more than he usually did as he stepped inside the building with his crumpled shirt which was unbuttoned from the top as he flaunted the small hickey on his neck, his hair was in a mess and the wildly creative minds of the employees ran faster than galloping horses as they bowed and greeted him.

While Yu Mei was on her way to Rosette Headquarters, she received a call from Han Jian Yu.

Yu Mei parked the car on the side of the road before she answered the call.

"Where are you?" Came the man's quick question from the other side of the phone.

"On my way to the company," Yu Mei leaned her forehead on the steering wheel, her thoughts drifted back to her conversation with Jun Zixuan regarding Han Jian Yu.

If she asked him straight away, there was no way he would answer her unless he wanted.

"You sound disturbed. Did that jerk do something-"

"He is not a jerk," The corner of her lips twitched as she interrupted the man.

"You are defending him?" His tone went a notch deeper this time.

She was speechless, "I thought you already accepted him after you both had a face-off."

The man scoffed, "I admitted that he is worthy enough for you but that does not means I have gotten over the fact that that con man conned you with his sweet talks and you even proposed to him." 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

"He didn't," She sighed, "We know each other for a long time. We were in the same university and he had liked me since then. I was just unaware of it."

Han Jian Yu pinched the space between his brows, "Just because I didn't keep an eye on you, you had kept your fair share of secrets from me."

She paused for a moment, "Just because I have never asked you does not means that I don't know that you are also keeping secrets from me."

There was a silence over the phone for a few moments before Han Jian Yu sighed, "It's a good thing that you have not married him till now. Take your time and think over it before you decide on something."

He was avoiding the topic. Seeing that, she did not persist on it either, "I am sure about him."

Han Jian Yu's deep sigh was heard over the phone.

"Brother, you are acting like a grumpy old man," She laughed.

"You won't understand my feelings. Imagine growing a cabbage for more than two decades only for it to be stolen by a dog," His words were followed by another regretful sigh.

She placed a palm over her stomach as she leaned back on the seat, laughing till her eyes teared up.

"That's enough of making fun of me," Han Jian Yu sternly said and she paused, caught somewhere in between laughter and tears as he continued, "Go and do your work. I will come to meet you."

"Alright, as long as you both don't beat each other up," She laughed when he hung up the phone after hearing her words.

She threw her phone into the backseat and stepped on the accelerator.

All of a sudden, an old man rushed in front of the car out of nowhere.

'Screech'

Before the car barely touched his body, she swerved the steering wheel towards the left and pressed her hand on her forehead when the car slammed into the sidewalk.

"Dammit.." She pushed open the car door and walked towards the old man who was surrounded by a crowd.

"Just because they are rich, they don't care about ordinary lives."

"Tsk...Why would they drive a car if they don't know how to.."

"Brother, catch her before she attempts to run away..."

Yu Mei's footsteps came to a halt as one of the men grabbed her hand while a few people surrounded her.

Since she had large shades on her eyes and her long hair had gotten messy as they framed half of?her face, no one was able to recognize her.

"Let go," Her cool voice had the crown quieten down.

"Let go so that you can run away? I will call the police. Keep holding her. Does she takes us as fools?" One man amongst the crowd shouted and the rest echoed his words while the person holding her hand tightened his grip.

She raised her other hand and grabbed his wrist.

"Ahhhhhh..." The man was initially gutsy because she looked like a delicate woman. Who could have known she had such strength? His grip on her wrist loosened.

"Anyone else wants to try?" Her clear voice resounded amongst the gasps and whispers, "Good," Without further ado, she walked towards the old man who was unconscious on the road.

She noticed the mud on his face and his clothes, his hair looked rough and dry as he laid there with his pale lips trembling slightly, "Help me take him inside the car," She grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse. She let out a sigh of relief when it was normal.

The crowd who just witnessed her prowess could not help but shiver at her cold tone. But two of the men walked towards the old man before they picked him up.

They initially thought that she would shirk away from her responsibility but they felt guilty looking at the current situation.

Yu Mei did not say anything as she walked towards the passenger seat before opening the door for him.

The public might have misunderstood her but she knew that the situation was not how it looked.

She was not a noob driver. Although the old man came out of nowhere, she had still changed the direction of the car in time.
