Chapter 45 - A New Design

First of all, they were no longer enemies. Secondly, she watched the beautiful view of Shanghai from the rooftop, had good food, and a night of very comfortable sleep as well.

Life was all too good.

'Hypocrite! Sometimes, you say life is tough and sometimes you find it good.' A childish voice rang out in her mind.

"_"

'Cut the connection right this instant,' And in a second, everything was back to normal once again.

This sneaky Fox is always snooping around her thoughts.

"I also slept well," Yu Mei smiled at him, "Your arms are pretty comfortable and warm."

He sighed before rubbing his temple, "Did you forget that I am a man?"

She blinked, "What's wrong with you? Of course, I know that you are a man," What kind of joke is this? Did she look dumb to him?

"Then, you are not bothered by sleeping with me?"

"OH…You are talking about that?''

Look at her 'I am enlightened' expressions, he nodded.

"You are a fussy man…" She stood up from the swing before adjusting her dress a little.

He raised an eyebrow.

She sighed helplessly, "We just slept under the same blanket, hugging each other. What's there to be bothered about? Isn't this something friends are allowed to do?"

"You do this with all your friends?"

"Yes," She often slept with Shi Luo.

She never had many friends in the first place. There was only Shi Luo whom she could call her friend during high school and university. When Jun Zixuan came into her life, they became friends, and later, he even introduced her to his friend circle.

"Then don't make friends from now on…" He mumbled under his breath.

"Eh…? Did you say something?" She could not catch onto what he said earlier.

He shook his head before standing up from the swing.

The man raked his fingers through his hair setting it perfectly.

Looking at his tense face, she was speechless for a moment, "You can just chill alright?" She patted his shoulder and as he looked at her, she continued speaking, "It's normal between friends, like holding hands or sleeping together. We are more like bros. Don't worry though. When you get yourself a woman in the future, I won't reveal all this to spoil your image in front of her."

She waved her hand before dragging her lazy ass towards the elevator.

Friendzone Alert!

Unaware of the danger signs that might affect his happy future, Jun Zixuan looked at the woman's back as she walked away without a care of anything.

"Should I be grateful to have such an understanding wife…?" He narrowed his eyes slightly before walking after her.

…

After they had their breakfast together, Jun Zixuan left for work while Yu Mei explored the place a little before going back to the Presidential Suite.

Since she had nothing to do, she called the room service to get her a sketchbook with some shading pencils and colors. And their attitudes towards her were so pleasant that she could not help but wonder if Jun Zixuan owned this resort.

It has been a long time since she designed something so she ended up spending more than four hours designing a pendant.

"A beautiful one indeed…." she mumbled to herself. She has never been so satisfied with any of her creations.

She was not narcissistic but when it came to designing and her creativity, she could not help but be proud of herself.

As small as the pendant was, she made it so that every intricate layer of strokes on it was highlighted. A spherical crystal pendant that reflected the petals of a beautiful magenta-purple rose from inside.

She even added a white spiderweb-like structure at one corner of the petal demonstrating the gorgeous flower that has imprinted itself in her mind.

Looking at it, her eyes sparkled with excitement. As much as she was mesmerized by it, she has never tried a fusion concept like this before.

Feeling some movements in her stomach, she got out from the king-sized bed and picked up the fruit salad bowl from the bedside before stuffing herself hurriedly.

Dammit! She was so engrossed in designing that she did not realize when she was starving.

Sitting back on the bed, she picked up her phone with her right hand and continued eating with the other.

As usual, she went back to her recent searches to look for any news about her brother. But to her disappointment there was none. And it confused her.

As the President of Amaranthine, Jian Yu was one of the most influential men in the world and even if he overslept for one day, it would make it to the hot headlines of the tabloids.

Then what was going on now? Why was there no news about him?

Did her death affect him so negatively that he decided to retreat from the public's eyes to get over the grief? It might be possible, she thought to herself.

Maybe, he was giving himself some space to accept the truth. But how would she contact him then? Even his phone was turned off…

Before she could dwell on it any longer, two notifications popped up on her phone screen immediately getting her attention.

Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
