Married to his secret crush Chapter 74
Advertisement
The women standing there had their faces turning pitch black in an instant. They have never been insulted as such. Nobody had ever called them ugly.
Mu Shen cleared his throat, "Ladies, my friend here suffers from short-sightedness. I hope you are not offended?"
"That's fine, Young Master Mu," Their deflated egos were back to track again, along with Mu Shen's explanation.
Sashaying their hips, they left the room.
Mu Shen tilted his head to the side.
Mu Shen glared at the man who was sitting like a male god, "What kind of beauty bewitched you? Do you realize that all your actions are pointing towards love?" Picking up his wine glass, he gulped down the contents and poured himself another one.
"It's impossible."
Mu Shen paused, "And I don't have a pen*s," He showed him his middle finger before emptying the contents from the other glass. It has been a long time since he saw his friend sparing a few minutes to think about a woman and her lips, how could it be that simple?
"Stop being so vulgar," Jun Zixuan looked at him in disgust.
Under the man's cold glare, Mu Shen coughed slightly, "Don't go on my words. See the point here," He put his wine glass down on the table, "Do you know you look like a teenager who can't get his crush off his mind? Even if you are sitting here, I can see your mind is not here."
The man did not reply.
"I was talking to Shi Luo yesterday. She told me what happened at the party back in Shanghai," Mu Shen said in a serious tone lacking his usual playfulness, "Han Mei has a family, a new life now. Things have already come to this point and they can't be changed. She…Anyways, let's not talk about it. If you feel for someone, don't hold back just because of the past. First of all, divorce that fatty and throw her out of the mansion. Then, go to your true love. After all, a woman needs to be cherished and loved. Give her your commitment, respect, and loyalty…"

His phone went off right at this moment. Glancing at the caller ID, he immediately answered the call, "Yeah babe…No, not today. Well, tomorrow, it's a private night with blondie. The day after tomorrow…umm….have plans with Anna... Well then, make an appointment with my manager for next week. Don't come before 11:00 pm, I'll be busy with work," He added in a hoarse voice, "As you wish. Since you want it on the kitchen cabinet, we'll have it right there…Mwah~"
Hanging up on the call, he glanced at Jun Zixuan, "So, where were we?"
"At 'loyalty'," The man expressionlessly replied.
Mu Shen: "_" *chokes* cough cough
…
At the gym.
"Ahh…" Sweat dripped down her body as she maintained her squatting position. Every inch of her body was aching like hell but she gritted her teeth, enduring the pain as much as she can.
"Yes, like that….6 seconds more," Het trainer said looking at the timer in his hand, "6….5….4….3…"
The burn in her thighs intensified with the countdown but she persisted. Given her current figure, slimming will be tough if she became lazy at times like this. So, it was better to endure the pain and go through it. She steeled her mind.
"…2….1…"
"Hah…" She exhaled the breath she did not know she was holding in. Her legs trembled and she slumped on the floor on her knees, not being able to find the strength in her body.
The trainer glanced at her, "You've done very well for a beginner. It's 45 minutes already. We'll be stopping here today to let you get used to it," The man extended his hand towards him.
She glanced at him. Feeling lazy to raise her hand, she shook her head, "That's fine… Just let me sit here for some time…"

The man nodded before walking off to the other members.
Yu Mei sucked in deep breathe before shifting in her position. She comfortably sat with her legs crossed before picking up her water bottle and gulping mouthfuls at once.
Shi Luo has gotten her the membership in one of the best gyms in Beijing, Trailwalker. And even though it was her first day here, she could say that this place here really lived up to its name. The environment, the conditions, and the trainers were all so cooperative.
She dragged her legs upwards before burying her face in her knees. It was her brother who trained her usually. How she wished it was still him doing it right now!
"Baby…."
She raised her voice at the familiar voice, "Luoluo?" She glanced at the woman who walked towards her, waving her hand.
"What are you sitting here for? I have made plans for the whole day. Let's go," She dragged the woman by her arms but could not move Yu Mei by an inch.
"Alright don't touch me. I am smelly and dirty," Yu Mei laughed, pushing her away from her. She stood up from the floor, "Don't you have work today?"
"Didn't I say I only work four days a week?" Shi Luo hooked her hand around her arm.
"Hey, I haven't even taken a bath yet," Yu Mei distanced herself from the woman, "Why are we going like this?" She glanced at the sports outfit she was wearing.
"Let's go to my apartment first. Tell me your size, I'll get some decent dresses for you," They walked out of the gym.
Shi Luo opened the door of her car and held it for her, "Please, your highness," She spoke like a gentleman pointing one of her hands inside the car while the other was behind her back.
Yu Mei laughed as she got inside the car, "You are crazy…"
Shi Luo shrugged before walking to the other side. Although Yu Mei did not tell her anything about her feelings but she wanted to make sure that her friend was not upset about her test results.
However calm she was about it, she wanted to make sure that her medical reports haven't affected her that much.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
