"You are blind if I look kind-hearted to you," She laughed, "Did you want me to point a gun at their heads?"

"You could have done that, you know? I don't have objections."

"Says the man who thinks I'm too spoiled," On one hand, he believes she is too spoiled and on other hand, he spoils her even more. Yu Mei chuckled, "By the way, you must have known about the contents of the press conference. Don't you have any comments about my feelings towards my half-brother?"

"No comments. I have questions," He glanced at her with an expressionless face, "But I won't ask you."

"And why is that?"

"Because this is not the only thing that I want to know. There are many more. If I start asking, then I might end up disappointed when you don't answer," He tried to observe her expressions.

She froze for a split second.

As expected. He sighed softly.

"I can tell you that I never had feelings for Daniel. No feelings at all. He is just another passerby in my life," She softly said, leaning closer to him. The previous owner had feelings for him. Not me. Not me at all.

'If Jian Yu was here, I would have divorced Zixuan right this instant.'

That was something she said months ago.

Who is he to you? Will you still leave me if he comes into the picture?

Not just this, he had many things that he wanted to know but he knew that if asked her, she won't answer and things will get tense between them. He did not want to take the risk. Maybe, she just needed some more time.

"Then who do you have feelings for?" He asked teasingly, wrapping an arm around her waist as he turned to the side so that he was facing her.

"For our neighbor," She smiled when the grin on his face disappeared, "For you, to be honest," She buried her face in his chest and they both ended up laughing together.

"Don't go back on your words in the future."

She bit his chest, "Of course, my words are as precious as diamonds.''

At midnight.

'Ring Ring Ring'

"Mei, can't you put your phone on silent mode?" Jun Zixuan hugged the woman tighter as she snuggled closer to him, without responding to him.

'Ring Ring Ring'

He bit her neck without bothering to open his eyes.

The woman shrieked, "Ah-" Her eyes snapped open, "Were you a vampire in the past life?" She snarled at him.

"I don't know," He tightened his grip on her and buried his face in her neck, cuddling with her.

"Why did you bite me?" She was wide awake at this point. Usually, she won't wake up when she slept but the man had to bite her so hard.

"Your phone..." He mumbled in a tired voice.

She sighed. He has been really busy these days. First, he went on a business trip then the issue with Yu Family made him drop all his work and come back to her. He must be exhausted. "I'll check who is it..." She carefully removed his arms from her waist and his face from her neck before rolling towards the bedside table.

The instant loss of his darling pillow woke him up. He glared at the woman's back with eyes full of complaints.

Yu Mei, on the other hand, had all her focus on her phone.

21 missed calls?

Just as she was lost in thought, Shi Luo called her once again. She swiped the answer option before putting the phone on her ear. She yawned while rubbing her eyes, "It's past midnight, Luoluo. Get yourself a man if you are bored."

"Man my ass. You have got a man for yourself and I am having a headache looking at the troubles you are going through. I think I am having a phobia of men from now on," The woman spoke through gritted teeth.

"I am very happy with my man. What troubles are you speaking of?"

Jun Zixuan's ears perked up at the mention of his name. He snuck closer to her before wrapping an arm around her waist. "Sounds so good," He whispered against her neck.

''What?"

"When you phrase it like that," The man licked her neck, "Like you know...my man. It sounds good."

"What are you doing?" She stiffened, feeling his hand sneaking inside her nightshirt.

"Can you both restrain yourself for a few minutes? For a few fucking minutes?" From Shi Luo's voice, Yu Mei could tell that the woman's patience was wearing thin.

She quickly swatted away the indecent hand, "Calm down, Luoluo. You have a reputation to uphold. Don't curse," The woman would opt to vulgarities only when there is some issue hovering over her head.

"Check the links I have sent you," The woman said from the other side.

Yu Mei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Why is it links again?"

"You have to ask yourself about it. Why the heck do you keep getting in headlines? I feel like a paparazzi these days," Shi Luo mumbled before hanging up.

She couldn't help but sigh. What headline is it again? She disinterestedly clicked on the links Shi Luo had sent with half-lidded eyes.

Sleep Goddess was refusing to leave her alone.

Letting out another sad sigh, she let her eyes roam over the current trending news.

'Myth: President Leanne is someone's mistress VS Fact: It goes vice versa. Check out the article for full details.'

Then, a picture of her and Jun Zixuan came to her view followed by another string of headlines.

'A strong woman knows how to keep men at her service.'

'Why be a mistress when she can afford kept men?'

'The exclusive image of President Leanne's kept man.'

She sat up on the bed in a flash as her eyes widened in horror.

Jun Zixuan, who was ruthlessly pushed away by the woman speechlessly looked at her back, ''What's wrong?" He asked while tugging at her shirt a bit forcefully such that she ended up falling atop him.
