Chapter 75 - That Guy Has Been Acting Weird
Later that evening.
"Luoluo, I feel so relaxed right now," Yu Mei stretched her body as they walked out of the spa. After working out after such a long time and with her current body, she knew that today she would not be able to move because of the ache in every part of her body.
But coming with Shi Luo turned out to be a good idea.
After having breakfast together, they went shopping, then movie, then lunch, and finally spa.
After getting a full body massage, she felt refreshed. Her limbs were properly working right now.
Shi Luo smiled, "So, did you enjoy the date with me?"
Yu Mei chuckled, "Of course, I did…If you pamper me like this, I won't feel like working anymore. I'll just hug your golden thigh so that you can feed me forever."
Shi Luo rolled her eyes, "Rather than doing that, you can cling to your husband's 500-carat diamond thigh."
"Eh…Are you talking about Zixuan?"
As they got inside the car, Shi Luo glared at her, "Who else? Do you have more husbands?"
"That guy…" Yu Mei sighed as she leaned back on her seat.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. He has been acting weird lately. I mean sometimes he treats me well and at other times…well he acts cold," She sighed again, before shaking her head.
"Why do you even care?" Shi Luo glared at her, "Since you are already planning to divorce him, it should not matter to you…Or are you caving his attention…more like in love?"
Under the girl's doubtful gaze, Yu Mei was speechless, "Say…when will you stop fantasizing about all these things? There is nothing between us. I treat him as a friend and he won't be as crazy as to fall for me?" She said pointing at her figure.
"If you were as hot and sexy as before, any man would have the urge to take you in every position," Yu Mei's eyes widened at her words. Shi Luo continued speaking while driving, "But now that you're like this, you're still as charming as before. Who knows if a big bad wolf like Jun Zixuan is not already trying to gobble you up?!"
Yu Mei scoffed, "Just stop talking nonsense already. First, look at my current appearance, he won't have a wild taste. Second, he is not a man like you're describing him to be…"
"See…You're defending him already?!" Shi Luo pointed out.
Yu Mei shook her head in disbelief before glancing out of the window.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her phone went off.
"Where is my phone?" She looked around.
"You forgot it in your bag," Shi Luo pointed at the backseat.
Yu Mei lowered her seat before grabbing her bag.
''Why would he call me…?" She frowned, glancing at the caller ID.
"Steward Gu," She answered the call.
"Miss Yu…Where are you…?"
Yu Mei could hear the panic and nervousness in the man's voice, "What happened? Is everything alright with Zixuan?"
Shi Luo who had her gaze stuck to the road raised both her eyebrows. "It's just a 'friend's' concern for another 'friend'…." She muttered under her breath before snorting. As if!
The woman beside her was so lost in the conversations that she didn't hear her words. Luckily. Shi Luo sighed before putting her focus back on the road.
"Miss Yu…Master….he…he…"
"Stop stuttering, Steward Gu," Yu Mei coldly said, "What happened to him? Can you speak clearly?"
Shi Luo's eyebrows raised an inch higher. She bit her lips, stopping herself from making any unnecessary comments that might infuriate her.
"Cough... Miss Yu, Master has turned the whole city upside down while searching for you. 15 members of the security team have been fired. The commissioner might lose his seat in the next…next ten minutes…"
She was speechless, "Has he lost his mind? Steward Gu, please inform him I'm on my way back."
She could hear the man sighing in relief, "A-Alright. Please come fast."
"I don't have wings. I can't fly," She pursed her lips.
"Miss Yu, shall I arrange a chopper?"
She was speechless, "No need." She hung up.
Her gaze landed on the call logs. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. 97 missed calls from Jun Zixuan?
She pinched the space between her brows.
"What happened?" Shi Luo could not help but ask, looking at her friend's distressed face.
"Luoluo…I…I don't know what's wrong with him. I informed him that I was going to the gym in the morning but he said he wasn't interested in knowing my whereabouts. Now, he is searching all over the city for me." The man explicitly told her that 'Wherever you go has nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me about it.' So what now?
Yu Mei sighed, "Is it split-personality or is he just this moody?"
"Neither," Shi Luo replied, "I can provide you my theory."
She glanced at her, "No need. Your theories are up to no good."
Shi Luo cleared her throat, embarrassed at being caught like that. "So, where are we going from here?"
She tried to remember the name of the place they were currently residing at, "West…Yeah…Westside Apartment."
Shi Luo nodded and took a right turn. Given how rich Jun Zixuan was, she was not surprised that they were living in a luxurious place like that.
But she inwardly chastised herself for thinking that he was the man behind Eminence. An existence as powerful as that would only live in exclusive private properties such as Glory House or Ren Mansion.
Alas, little did she know that Jun Zixuan was the owner of both those private properties.
…
Yu Mei flashed her access card to the security, who opened the gates, letting her inside the residential area.
Her footsteps came to a halt all of a sudden as she glanced at her front.
Jun Zixuan was leaning on his Bentley with his hands tucked inside his pocket. His golden ash-blonde bangs rested above his eyebrows in a mess. One of his feet kept tapping the ground as the man had gloomy vibes surrounding him.
She walked towards him.
He tilted his head upwards.
