Chapter 29 - How Could You Sleep With Him?

Jun Zixuan picked up a silk napkin before wiping his mouth but he didn't argue with her further.

"Where is Steward Gu?" She asked trying to calm herself down.

"He asked for leave," Jun Zixuan casually replied.

He picked up the glass of juice and sipped it elegantly while watching the news.

"Where are the rest of the servants?" Usually, whenever she will step out of her room, she will see many people engaged in different tasks.

But when she came downstairs today, she did not see anyone on the way. While they were having their breakfast, there was no one to serve them.

Even the female servants who treated her like their eternal enemies were nowhere to be seen.

Now that their Master is here, shouldn't they hover around him like bees? Then, what went wrong?

"Because of the weather report, mom asked me to give them a day off," He indifferently replied.

"What weather? It was not like the blizzard was going to hit them inside this mansion," Her lips twitched, "Your mother wants to create opportunities between us. In fact, she just wants to unite us from mind, soul and body."

He tilted his head to the side and looked at her, "And it will never happen. Things will always remain this way unless you seduce me."

"If I seduce you, you are willing to sleep with me?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

This man couldn't be thinking of discovering warmth with her body on this snowy day, could he?

"If you try to seduce me, I'll kick you out of the mansion," He coldly said before putting his glass down and standing up from the chair.

With his hand tucked inside his pocket, the man walked upstairs without looking back at her.

"_" 

So, what he meant was no matter what, things won't change between them. She can continue living in his mansion until she behaves. If she somehow seduced him or angered him, he will throw her out at his will.

As she looked at his retreating back, she wondered how would she survive the days ahead with him.

Wait… They were supposed to discuss their divorce. What happened to it? 

She wanted to remind him about it but the man was out of her sight already.

In the Master bedroom.

Jun Zixuan picked up his laptop from the couch and put it on the bed. Removing his suit jacket, he walked inside the walk-in closet to get changed.

He picked up a white round-neck T-shirt with casual blue denim jeans.

When he was getting ready to go to work, his mother called him and informed him about the blizzard.

Although it was not that worse yet and he could have easily gone to the office but she didn't pay any heeds to his opinions and asked him to stay at home.

She even gave a day off to all the servants, leaving him alone with that woman. 

But now that the weather has worsened, he didn't have any other option than to stay at home.

He walked towards the bed before taking a sit. Leaning back on the bolster pillow at his back, he was about to put the laptop on his lap when something caught his attention from the corner of his eyes.

He picked up the rose from the flower vase before looking at it intently. He stroked the petals gently with his fingers.

It has been more than 12 hours since this flower was plucked but it remained fresh as ever.

A strange expression flitted across his eyes.

…

"Little thing, wake up," Yu Mei poked the little creature's head but it kept sleeping. If not because of its light snores, she would have taken it to be dead.

She sighed. With all the things happening around her, she didn't think she would be able to get a good night's sleep without nightmares.

She put the small thing on the bed and covered its body with the blanket. But the thing twitched slightly and she hesitated.

What if it got suffocated to death?

She lowered the blanket only covering half of its body to give its some space to breathe. She placed two fluffy pillows on either side.

"You won't fall now…" She murmured in satisfaction but her brows furrowed in the next moment.

Why did this creature appear beside her suddenly? Where did it come from?

Whatever it was….she had a feeling that it was not normal. But then again, will this small thing be a friend or a foe? 

Unpredictable things as such bothered her. Neither could she throw it nor did it seem safe to keep it with her.

Sighing, she slumped on the couch tiredly. 

Just as she was about to close her eyes, her phone went off.

Picking it up, she checked the caller Id before answering the call.

"Luoluo," She lazily muttered.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you sound so exhausted?" Shi Luo shouted so loudly that Yu Mei had to distance the phone from her ear.

"Speak slowly. I am not deaf…"

"What the goddamned fuck are you up to?" One could hear the disbelief in Shi Luo's voice, "I understand you somehow ended up becoming his wife. But you…how could you not keep your sexual urges in check? I admit his hormones can even invite an alien to sleep with him but you…you can't do that. Not when you are planning to divorce him."

Her eyes widened slightly before her expression turned to normal, "Luoluo, why would I sleep with him? What are you even thinking about? And what's up with your language? You need to keep it in check. If Auntie hears this then you will be done for."

"Don't worry, Mom is not here. Anyways, you really didn't sleep with him?"

"No. Moreover, looking at my current figure, which sane man in the world would have the urge to sleep with me? Let alone this Prince Charming of a husband of mine…" Yu Mei muttered.

"You mean…"
