Married to his secret crush-Chapter 393 - A Talk With Parents

Unlike Han Suyin, Han Jing looked calm as he sat on the single couch and Yu Mei could feel his gaze on her but she sat stiffly, not knowing what to say or what to do.

Yu Mei looked at Jun Zixuan for help but the cruel man simply winked at her before walking back towards the centre of the study and leaning back on the desk.

The corner of her lips twitched. She was going to hold this grudge for at least 6 hours.

''Why didn't you come to us?" Han Jing finally said something after a long time.

Yu Mei straightened up on the couch while she turned to look at the man. Contrary to his usual gentle expressions that she had come across, he had a stern countenance today as he looked at her, "Since you already knew the truth, then why would you not come to us?" This time, his voice had a pinch of hurt in it.

And Yu Mei knew that telling them that she used to think that the Han Family wanted her dead would be a bad idea. Their emotions already look unstable after all these revelations and she did not want to hurt them further, ''I came to know about this not long ago…'' She said.

"When we…" ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"Jing..'' Han Suyin interrupted the man. It was the first time they were meeting their daughter as parents and at this rate, he will scare her away.

Yu Mei nodded at Han Suyin, ''I am fine. I don't mind,'' She softly said. These questions were after all bound to come sooner or later so she did not want to avoid them.

Han Jing paused and looked at his wife with a reassuring gaze before he turned to look at Yu Mei, ''When you got to know about this, why didn't you come to us? And… why did you pretend to be Li Na's daughter?"

''It was Han Jingyi who hired people to assassinate me, it would not make sense if I go to you, telling you that I am your daughter knowing that it wasn't going to go anywhere.''

She did not tell him the fact that she did not trust the whole Han Family at that time, ''I needed an identity. This was the most suitable one,'' The topic of how she woke up in a new body was something that had always affected her in some way and she did not want to expose it to anyone, not even her biological parents. They believed her or not, no matter what, knowing this will also affect them psychologically so she believed it was better to keep it to herself.

"Where is…she?" Han Suyin asked, ''Li Na's daughter…where is she? And how are you able to take her identity without making anyone suspicious?''

"She is dead,'' Jun Zixuan straightened up as he explained it to them. He twisted the facts as needed, letting them know that the real Yu Mei Zhen was dead and because she rarely stepped out of the house and very few people had seen her, it was easy to manipulate things in their way.

Han Suyin's chest felt heavy, knowing that not only her sister, even her sister's daughter was dead.

Yu Mei, who was lost in her thoughts, suddenly stiffened when Han Jing held her palm. A heavy silence lingered in the air and Han Suyin wiped her tears before she stood up, ''Ah Xuan, won't you show me around the Ren Mansion?"

Jun Zixuan pushed himself to his feet as he glanced at Yu Mei who nodded at him. He turned to look at Han Suyin with a small smile on his face as he extended his hand towards the door of the study, ''Certainly, mother-in-law.''

Yu Mei: "_"

She had yet to address them as mother or father but he is already at it and he seemed to be doing very well too given how sleekly the term rolled out of his mouth.

Han Suyin, on the other hand, smiled, finding her son-in-law to be a gentleman.

After both of them left, Yu Mei turned to look at Han Jing who did not seem to have noticed when Jun Zixuan and Han Suyin left the study as he held her palm carefully in his, looking at it in a daze.

She could feel his finger trembling slightly even though his face looked calm, ''The last time I remember holding your hands….it was the Christmas morning, you were in my arms, playing with my fingers but your mom and I had to go somewhere that the day so in the end, I had to interrupt your actions by holding your hand to stop you. I just never thought that…'' He paused as he tilted his head to look into her eyes, ''…That it will be my last time holding my Princess's hands.''

Yu Mei felt a dull ache in her chest. She never spent much time with them. They just came across each other, once or twice or maybe thrice, she did not remember. There has always been a short exchange of words but she would be lying if she said that she did not feel attached to them in some way because she did and it was the truth.

In the living room.

"Ah Xuan…'' Han Suyin paused, ''Zixuan is too distant. Since you are married to my daughter, you don't mind me calling you this right?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

''I don't,'' Jun Zixuan said as he led her to the couch.

"So, how long has it been since you both got married to each other?" Han Suyin asked him as she took a seat.

''It has been some time since we got registered,'' He replied, keeping the answer vague.

Han Suyin did not find anything amiss as she continued asking, ''How about the wedding?"

''We have not planned it yet neither do we want anything high-profile,'' Jun Zixuan answered.

''Is it her decision? She is not into anything high-profile?" Han Suyin asked curiously, wanting to know more about her daughter.
