Married to his secret crush-Chapter 352 - Hacking?

''Mia?" Jun Zixuan said, ''Why are you acting so sneaky?"

''Who is sneaky? You have taken me as your adopted sister. I am three years older than you. And logically, I am a few lifetimes older than you. Where is your respect for me?" Compared to her usual tone, Mia sounded rather messed up as she presented her rant.

Jun Zixuan uninterestedly said, ''I shall hang up then.''

''Hey, you... Sigh... You are such a pain in the ass...''

''I am hanging up.''

''I want to ask something,'' She said in one breath.

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, ''Be quick. I'll give you thirty seconds.''

''Why are you so weird...''

''Twenty-five seconds.''

Mia massaged her forehead before regaining her composure, ''Fine. Tell me, how can I be sure that a person does not like me?"

''Who taught you grammar?" Jun Zixuan asked, ''...And this world's language?''

''It's your wife. Why do you ask?''

''She struggles in those subjects,'' Jun Zixuan said with a straight face before he continued, ''So, do you mean to ask how to know if a person likes you?"

''You...'' Mia had the urge to slap her forehead, ''No, I meant how can I be sure that a person does not like me?" 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Jun Zixuan's lips twitched, ''That depends.''

''Depends on what?" Mia asked, barely controlling her curiosity to know more about it.

''There are many factors which need to be taken into consideration,'' Jun Zixuan said after some thought.

''Give me a rough explanation. It doesn't need to be perfect.''

''Apologies, I prefer perfection in things I do rather than leaving errors in them,'' He replied with a straight face.

She heaved a sigh before speaking, ''Tell me when you are free. I will visit you,'' When there was no reply from him, she took it as an affirmation as she added, ''And don't tell Mei anything about this.''

Jun Zixuan frowned, ''Secrets are just the start of unhealthy relationships. I don't want my wife to demand a divorce,'' He said before taking a brief pause as he added, ''Moreover, what do I get in return?"

Mia could swear that she was remembering her ancestors from her mother's side. Even they, the creatures are known for their craftiness, aren't as crafty as this man, ''First of all, this matter concerns my private life so how is this keeping a secret from Mei? You are just helping your 'elder sister on papers' with some matters. It is not like I shoved a woman into your arms and asked you to keep her as your mistress.''

His eyelids twitched.

''Secondly, I can't give you anything in return except for the truth in details. You know how poor I am, dear brother.''

''Alright,'' Jun Zixuan said before he hung up. Sigh, it was certainly a big responsibility when you adopt a troublesome elder sister.

He stepped inside the internet cafe and the shop owner looked up. Since it was quite late, most of the customers were gone except for a few here and there. ''What do you want, sir?'' The old man keenly glanced at him as he found him a bit familiar but he could not put a finger on what he found familiar about him.

Jun Zixuan raked his fingers through his hair as he removed them from his forehead before parting it to the side. ''Mr. Lin,'' He greeted the man politely as he tilted his face to the side, letting the dim light to fall on his face, illuminating his whole profile.

''You...'' The old shop owner's eyes widened as he looked around before lowering his voice, ''Is that you, Xiao Xuan?''

''Yes. Long time no see,'' Jun Zixuan smiled, a small dimple appeared on his left cheek.

''Hahaha... Been a long time indeed,'' The old man chuckled, ''Back then, your head reached just above my waist and now I have to raise my head to talk to you. You sure have grown up and also grown up well. I saw the news about your identity already,'' He spoke in a small voice.

Jun Zixuan nodded.

The old man sighed, ''I have been getting on age which is why I forgot to ask how are you here today?"

Jun Zixuan paused for a moment before he said, ''I need three hours.''

''But your seat is taken up by a girl...''

''She is my wife,'' Jun Zixuan interrupted the old man.

''Is she? She is rather unique,'' The old man said, thinking about the girl looking like a black fluffball. He could not even see her face because of the cap hiding half of her face, ''Don't forget to introduce her to me before you leave.''

Jun Zixuan nodded as he looked at the CCTV all around the place. He glanced at the old man, ''If anyone comes later...''

''I know what to do,'' Old man Lin laughed meaningfully.

There were floor-to-ceiling boxes inside the internet cafe. Nearly five feet of the box was made of elegant wooden ply, and the rest above it was made of glass.

Inside one of the boxes, Yu Mei was sitting on the swivel chair, ''Where is the Queen?" She mumbled to herself while looking at the setup of the cards on the computer screen.

The door to the box was pulled open and she raised her head, ''You are here?" She quickly stood up from the chair before offering the seat to him, ''But what are we going to do?"

He took a seat on the swivel chair and pulled her to his lap, ''Something that we could not do before because of your brother.''

Yu Mei contemplated over it, ''And what is that something that you speak of?" She asked him in confusion.

Jun Zixuan did not say anything as he placed his chin on her neck and shifted his hand towards her waist before settling his fingers on the keyboard.

As his fingers flew across the keys, the computer screen turned dark all of a sudden. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

''You...'' Yu Mei's mind went blank within a moment, ''What are you trying to hack?" It took her a few seconds to realize what was going on.. Though she was not a hacker or an expert in the IT field, but being the CEO of Rosette, she had come across such things before so it was nothing sort of new for her.
