Married to his secret crush

Chapter 306 - Going Somewhere

The next day, as the alarm clock kept ringing, the two people on the bed remained enclosed in their own little bubble as they cuddled with each other.

''You obviously can't wake up this early, then why do you set such alarms?" Jun Zixuan mumbled in a hoarse voice as he turned towards her. One of his legs remained on her knees, locking her legs in place while his hand was on her waist. His other hand was placed below her neck while he nestled her in his arms.

Yu Mei opened her eyes slowly with a lot of struggle and she found him staring at her, ''I had to wake up early, can't I?'' She stroked his chin.

''You can. But why wake me up with you?'' Jun Zixuan buried her face in the crook of her neck, ''It's barely 6 am,'' He pulled back and glanced at her with eyes full of complaints.

''You are my better half,'' She laughed as he made a weird face at her, ''We should share happiness, sadness, and each other's troubles....'' Her face scrunched slightly as she paused, ''That's too cringe.''

He chuckled, the sound of his deep throaty laughter tickled her heart.

''...Let's just say. Since I am waking up early, you also have to,'' She stroked his chin.

''Is it compulsory?"

''Of course, it is,'' She tried to sit up but the man pulled her into his arms as he spooned her.

Jun Zixuan pulled her up such that their faces were inches apart, ''Let's stay like this then,'' He played with her hair, peppering soft kisses on her face.

She closed her eyes, relishing in his touch as she leaned closer to him, placing her hand on his back.

As his kisses turned a bit deeper, trailing towards her earlobe in a teasing manner, her body jolted slightly and she quickly sat up on the bed, ''We can't... right now. We have to go somewhere.''

''Where?" Jun Zixuan pushed himself up before sneaking a kiss from her lips.

She placed a palm on her mouth but he caught her off guard as he bit the supple skin near her breast through her flimsy robe.

''You...'' She quickly covered her body, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

''Which part of you have I not seen for you to be still so shy?' He hooked his hands around her neck.

She blushed harder but not before stealing a kiss from his lips, ''We should be even now,'' As he raised an eyebrow, she smiled, ''Let's go. Take a shower and get dressed up. We will be going somewhere.''

''Take a shower together?" His eyes visibly brightened.

She was speechless, ''You...look like a big bad wolf smacking his lips while awaiting his meal,'' She backed away a little from him, tucking the blanket till her neck, ''Unfortunately, we can't be late. We will shower separately.''

If she showered together with him, then her day will end in the bathroom and her to-do list for the day will go straight down the drain.

Very reluctantly, Jun Zixuan dropped his hands hovering near her body before he went to shower.

Yu Mei sighed as she patted her face which was feeling warm by now. This man is like a rare antique piece at times.

She could not help but laugh at her thoughts.

''Are you thinking bad about me behind my back?'' Came his deep voice from the walk-in closer.

She stiffened, ''Who is spreading such rumors about me? Humph!"

After both of them were ready, they descended the stairs.

''Master, Young Mistress,'' Steward Gu bowed at them.

Yu Mei smiled, ''Drop these bows already. I have told you countless times to not do that,'' She waved her hand, ''Long time no see, Steward Gu.''

Steward Gu's stoic expressions cracked a bit as he smiled, ''Master gave me a few days off.''

The corner of her lips twitched. How could she forget that? He gave a few days off to all the servants and even his right-hand man, Steward Gu was not spared from it.

''I think you should take more holidays,'' Jun Zixuan said with a straight face after some contemplation, ''I mean six month holidays in twice a year would be fine. You work too much.''

Steward Gu's eyes lit up. He could almost imagine himself tanning in the sun, dipping in the sea, and playing with sharks.

''No need. Steward Gu loves his work too much to leave it for long,'' Yu Mei cleared her throat. Give him a 12 month holiday and what after that?

His kinky side will wake up and then no place will be left untouched including the kitchen cabinet, dining table, and...Her face flushed just at the thought of it.

''Are you uncomfortable somewhere, Young Miss?" Steward Gu asked in concern.

''Where are you uncomfortable, Mei? You should go back to 'SLEEP' if that's the case,'' Jun Zixuan emphasized that particular word.

''It's just too warm here,'' Yu Mei spoke through gritted teeth.

Steward Gu glanced outside the floor-to-ceiling windows where it was snowing. It was probably because of her clothes. He concluded as he glanced at Jun Zixuan, ''But Master, Young Mistress is right. I won't be comfortable holidaying for too long. I am good here serving you both.''

Jun Zixuan's lips twitched, ''Fine then, all your holidays are canceled for 3 years,'' With that said, he grabbed Yu Mei's hand before pulling her into his arms as they walked out.

Steward Gu: "_" Master, what did I do? I still want my short holiday. Wuwuwu~

He just stayed rooted to his spot with a straight face despite his bleeding heart. Master is very unpredictable at times. Who knew if he canceled his holidays for 10 years straight?

It's better to just keep quiet at the moment.

''Are we taking my car?" Yu Mei waved the car key at him.

''No,'' Jun Zixuan pressed his thumb on the opaque glass door and it parted revealing the entrance to the grand underground garage of the Ren Mansion, ''We will get your fingerprint registered here after we are back.''

''Okay.''
